Struggling under the immense pressure, Ouyang Ming spoke with difficulty, gritting his teeth, "I heard that joining Dawu can gain large amounts of elixirs. Even though I am a Hollow God, cultivation requires countless elixirs, otherwise, it is hard to make progress. I came this time to see if Dawu can satisfy my demands!"
"For elixirs, this reason is not bad." Chu Yuan coldly said, "but I know this is not your aim. You have bigger things to ask."
"This is my purpose."
"Speak it out, your real purpose is not only for the elixirs."
Chu Yuan casually waved his hand, the power of the Life and Death Wheel of all heavens caused Ouyang Ming's mind to endure torment.
"I will speak!"
Ouyang Ming roared, "Elixirs are just one part, my biggest purpose is for Dawu's massive cannons, those Puppet Soldiers, and Sky Warships, the equipment that cannot be seen in the Five Mysterious Domains. I want to research those equipment!"
"Where are you from," Chu Yuan asked.
"From the Middle Mysterious Domain. I didn't lie to your majesty. I am indeed Ouyang Ming, from the Ouyang Family in the Middle Mysterious Domain. If the Ouyang Family is not familiar to your majesty, then perhaps you have heard of the City of Refining."
Ouyang Ming answered honestly.
"City of Refining, indeed I knew a bit, where gathers the best Refining Masters of the Five Mysterious Domains. Many King-level Divine Artifacts come from the City of Refining, even the Imperial Dynasty would ask the City of Refining to make Divine Artifacts."
Since Chu Yuan is recruiting Refining Masters on a large scale, of course he knows some information about the City of Refining.
"The City of Refining was originally established by my Ouyang Family with tens of thousands of years, gathering countless Refining Masters. My father is a Semi-True God, but he went to the chaotic space to break through to True God a hundred years ago and never returned. In the Artifact Refining competition, I lost to the current City Lord of the City of Refining, Jin Chiyang!"
"Jin Chiyang was originally the first minister of my City of Refining, but he usurped power and took everything."
Ouyang Ming said resentfully, "If it wasn't for my remaining reputation in the City of Refining, he wouldn't dare to openly kill me, I would probably never leave the City of Refining."
"You, a young City Lord, can't suppress Jin Chiyang."
Chu Yuan didn't find it surprising.
It's like in an Imperial Dynasty, when an old emperor dies, a young emperor cannot suppress the scene, being overpowered by his subordinates, such things occur countlessly.
"So you came to Dawu," Chu Yuan said calmly.
"Correct, I came to Dawu!" Ouyang Ming didn't dare to conceal, "I heard your majesty has miraculous equipment, I want to research those Puppet Armors, beat Jin Chiyang in the Artifact Refining competition, let more Refining Masters support me, reclaim my position as the City Lord. By then, your majesty can also gain the loyalty of the entire City of Refining!"
The City of Refining, where Artifact Refining is revered.
"Your reason makes me very tempted."
Chu Yuan ordered, "In addition, manage the Foundry Department well for me."
"Your servant accepts the order!"
Ouyang Ming withdrew and went to the Foundry Department.
He knew that he could not compare to Jin Chiyang with his own strength. This time he wanted to research various equipment of Dawu and learn the ways of Artifact Refining from them.
"I hope this Ouyang Ming can bring me some surprises."
Chu Yuan leaned back on his throne, lost in thought.
After Ouyang Ming went to the Foundry Department, with his Hollow God strength, he immediately controlled the situation.
Upon arrival, he immediately reorganized the Foundry Department.
Since he pledged allegiance to Dawu and was given this important task, he was not negligent. He assembled everyone, the purification methods from the City of Refining are much stronger than the ones they used.
He came from the City of Refining, and the task Chu Yuan gave him was simple, just purifying different materials and then combining them. This was underutilizing his skills.
But as he began to research the various pieces of equipment in Dawu, the more he looked, the more shocked he was. These materials were combined in an incredibly sophisticated way. Ordinary places could exert unimaginable power.
No matter how hard he tried, he didn't know how Chu Yuan combined various materials into these pieces of equipment.
"This Fiery Sun Blade seems to be just a blade, but what are those patterns inside? I have also refined many treasures motivated by divine stones, but I can't play it perfectly like this blade."
Ouyang Ming felt his head was about to explode.
If it was just a small amount, it would be okay, but Chu Yuan did it in the billions, to equip the entire army.
He didn't know how the materials delivered by the Foundry Department were made in batches.
It must be a way unknown to him.
The system's method of creation was completely different from theirs.
Since he couldn't figure out how the equipment exerted its power, Ouyang Ming changed some of his thoughts. He switched to his familiar ways, using his proficient refining methods to imitate pieces of equipment.
On Chu Yuan's side, with Ouyang Ming, the speed of purification was at least ten times that of before.
Every day, the Foundry Department could deliver a large amount of refined materials.
"Ding! Host completes side mission of creating two hundred Sky Warships, obtains thirty thousand Destiny Points, one King-level Divine Artifact Advancement Card."
"Ding! Host completes side mission of creating one hundred Transcendent Sky Warriors, obtains thirty thousand Destiny Points, one King-level Divine Artifact Advancement Card."
In the twelfth month of the thirty-sixth year of Dawu, in just over two months since recruiting Ouyang Ming, Chu Yuan completed two major side missions.
