Chapter 860: Things Remained, People Changed (2)

This was a sleepless night for Su Yu.

The next day, he started his work.

Inside the Weaponsmith Hall.

He received the request to repair a peak profound saber with sixty-eight golden stripes. This was the weapon of a fifth-stage Mountainsea. The Mountainsea in question was a burly man with wide shoulders. He looked incomparably ferocious.

But such a person was actually smiling fawningly in Su Yu's presence as he said, "Master Cui, can this weapon be repaired?"

Su Yu lifted the saber and took a closer look. There were numerous chips on the blade, marks left behind from the sheer number of battles this weapon had seen. Even some of the golden stripes on the blade were no longer complete due to the damage on the blade.

This might be a peak profound weapon, but at this point, it was probably only as strong as a middle profound weapon.

After a moment, Su Yu nodded, "It's possible. I only need to use some materials for the repair."

"That's good to hear!" The burly man was overjoyed. He said, "What materials do you need, Master Cui? Just mention them. If I don't have the materials but you happen to have them, I'm also willing to pay for them. The price doesn't matter!"

Su Yu still had some materials in his possession. He had bought materials worth a hundred thousand merit points previously. Sure, most of them had been used or given away, but he still had some left.

Furthermore, he had also received a large batch of materials from Hong Du early in the morning.

"I have the materials. And I don't lack money."

Su Yu nonchalantly said, "You can pay with blood essence or some unique cultivation methods that you can't find on the market. I don't need anything else."

"That..." After thinking about it, the burly man said, "I do have a unique cultivation method, but I don't know if it is good enough to catch your eye."

"Tell me more."

"You can simply take a look for yourself. Someone like you won't lower yourself to steal from me, anyway."

The burly man laughed and took a jade talisman out before handing it to Su Yu.

After taking a look, Su Yu muttered, "A cultivation method of the demonic beasts?"

"Yeah. This is my loot after killing a demonic beast during a battle. It's not a willpower text. It's merely a simple record of the method. But it's not usable for humans. However, its concepts are still worth learning from. This is a supportive art capable of increasing the sharpness of your source qi. Of course, it might not be good enough for you."

After a while, Su Yu said nothing and kept the talisman before starting his work on the weapon. The burly man was overjoyed. Holy shit! So this was free? This great master sure was open. Even something like that was sufficient as payment for him?

When Su Yu was done repairing the burly man's weapon, he proceeded to repair the next weapon. Almost all the requests he had received came from Mountainseas.

One...two...

Eventually, a certain individual entered the room. When Su Yu saw who it was, he blanked out.

Zheng Yuming.

This was a familiar face.

"Master Cui."

Zheng Yuming had a respectful smile on his face. He was only a second-stage Mountainsea. Here, he was nothing special.

Su Yu nodded indifferently, "Here to repair your cultural weapon?"

"Yes." Zheng Yuming hurriedly took out his cultural weapon. It was a sword. With a look of heartache, he said, "Master Cui, can this weapon still be repaired?"

"An earth weapon?"

Su Yu frowned. He looked up at Zheng Yuming. Wow. This guy was quite rich. Most Mountainseas wouldn't be able to afford earth weapons. But this fellow actually had one.

"Yes. It's an earth weapon, but only an early earth weapon with seventy-four stripes."

With the sword in hand, Su Yu gave Zheng Yuming another look and indifferently said, "There is a possibility of failure. Also, it requires a lot of effort since this is also a cultural weapon."

Su Yu spoke in a detached manner, "I won't be giving you any compensation in the event of failure. You're a cultural researcher. As for the payment, I want to take a look at one of your fourth-tier characters. If you agree, we can proceed. If you disagree, forget it."

"Taking a look at my character?"

Zheng Yuming struggled to agree, "Master Cui, I am willing to pay or offer you some treasures like the others."

"No." Su Yu tossed the sword back, "If you can't agree with that, please leave. Cultural weapons have always been harder to repair. And this is an earth weapon. This weapon of yours must be something forged by Master Chen of Great Xia. I am quite familiar with his weaponsmithing style, so I'll have a success rate of eighty percent. You are free to look for someone else instead."

"Yes, yes, it was forged by Master Chen!"

Zheng Yuming had a helpless look. But he was also quite impressed at how Su Yu was able to determine the maker of the weapon with one look.

After some hesitation, he asked, "Must it be a fourth-tier character?"

"What a stupid question." Su Yu held nothing back, "I only want to observe your character to broaden my horizons and improve my own cultivation. What's the point of looking at third-tier characters? I have third-tier characters myself. This will also make it easier for me to work on your cultural weapon after learning about the characteristics of your character."
