Chapter Eight Hundred and Sixty – Transaction
“Yes.” Zuo Mo had an open expression as he said honestly.
Zuo Mo was immediately filled with desire towards the Northern Plains Ice Mansion’s treasures after seeing the three pieces of Nether Ghost Yin Heavy Wood. He even questioned whether or not to rob them if negotiations failed.
But if the request was forging shen equipment, it would be even better. While his shen power was almost non-existent, his god-level was still present, his control of fire was unrivaled. His access ot sun shen fire, Silly Bird’s phoenix flames, Lil’ Fire’s Void Sky Li Fire, meant he had three kinds of shen fire to work with. Such a great setup, with so many types of shen fire, if this was made public, it would frighten people to death.
So Zuo Mo was very calm. With his present condition, he might not succeed in robbing them, but no one would be able to surpass him in forging.
“Could Elder forge shen devices for us?” Lan Bing’s gaze was bright.
As Zuo Mo had expected, the Northern Plains Ice Mansion had given the generous gift in an attempt to obtain shen devices.
“It depends on what materials you have.” Zuo Mo didn’t even move from his sitting position as he glanced at Lan Bing. “Without good materials, no shen device can be forged.”
Lan Bing laughed softly. “Elder, you do not have to worry about materials. The Northern Plains Ice Mansion is not the richest of the Nether Realm, but does have the materials to forge a shen device.”
“Oh,” Zuo Mo suddenly said, “if I remember correctly, the Nether Realm doesn’t have a shen device.”
“ Elder really is not from the Nether Realm.” Lan Bing said pointedly.
Zuo Mo did not dodge Lan Bing’s gaze and said with a snicker, “I’m not, but what does that have to do with anything?”
Lan Bing realized her rashness and hurriedly bowed in apology. “This lowly female was impolite!”
The other was right. If he could forge shen devices, it didn’t matter if he was from the Nether Realm or not. No one would make trouble for him. Even if he couldn’t forge shen devices, just his skill at forging shen equipment meant that no one would make a fuss of his background.
The Nether Realm was remote and even their communication with the jie of the Hundred Savage Realm was limited. Their communication with the yao and xiuzhe realms were even more rare. The mo were not skilled in forging, and the Nether Realm was the same.
The shen equipment of the xiuzhe world could greatly increase offensive strength. They continued to flow to the yaomo. The two races quickly found that the shen equipment was effective for them as well.
The yaomo started to study the forging methods of the xiuzhe but the xiuzhe had accumulated expertise over many millennia. How could it be so easy to learn? The yaomo had found large numbers of forgers with skill to teach them forging, but the shen equipment that they forged was lacking compared to the xiuzhe.
Zuo Mo hadn’t put much thought into forging shen equipment he gave out as gifts. He had only forged casually based on his habits.
The abilities of these shen equipment was a great deal better than the Nether Realm shen equipment on the market.
Zuo Mo didn’t know that the shen equipment that he had given out rose in price every day.
The Northern Plains Ice Mansion was the fastest to act!
Zuo Mo waved his hand and said carelessly, “No matter. Just for these three pieces of Nether Ghost Yin Heavy Wood, I will give you some articles of shen equipment if you want. A few dozen is also alright. If you want a shen device, then you need to prepare the materials and pay the price first.”
Lan Bing liked this kind of straightforward style and immediately asked, “How much payment does Elder want?”
“Fifty pieces of Nether Ghost Yin Heavy Wood of this quality.” Zuo Mo had a honest expression.
Lan Bing was slightly surprised. She had heard before that the white-haired elder had been searching for the Nether Ghost Yin Heavy Wood so she had picked three of good quality. She hadn’t thought that this elder would need so much Nether Ghost Yin Heavy Wood.
The Nether Ghost Yin Heavy Wood was rare. Even the Northern Plains Ice Mansion didn’t have fifty pieces, much less fifty of such quality.
But honestly, it was not expensive if they traded fifty pieces of Nether Ghost Yin Heavy Wood for the other to forge a shen device. It was only slightly troublesome.
“May other materials be used as substitutes?” Lan Bing asked cautiously.
Zuo Mo heard this. This was plausible. He was joyed but he did not change expression. “Tomb Ghost Bone Crystal, Rotten Life Wood, Yellow Spring Lotus, they all work, but have to also be of high quality.”
Lan Bing calculated inside. With three more types of materials to choose from, it was much easier to gather fifty items.
“Alright! But it will take time to gather these materials. Elder, please wait for a while.” Lan Bing unhesitatingly agreed.
Zuo Mo knew as well that it would not be an easy matter to gather so many materials but Little Mo Ge was a clever person. He said, “That’s fine, bring as much as you can. The forging of a shen device is not so easy, it also requires time.”
Lan Bing did not doubt him. She had never seen a shen device forged and naturally didn’t know the process. But shen devices were rare, and it definitely would be the product of more than a day’s work.
With this assumption, Lan Bing nodded and said, “No problem.”
Zuo Mo was overjoyed. If he could really get these materials, his recovery would be complete in no time.
Lan Bing suddenly said, “It is embarrassing to speak of, but our mansion does not have a forging department. We have more than thirty thousand forgers, but their skill is about the same. The reason is that they always have lacked a master to learn from. If Elder is willing to be the head of the forging department, the payment can be negotiated.”
Lan Bing looked as though she was willing to pay a great price.
Zuo Mo was slightly surprised. Thirty thousand forgers. This was not a small number. Ten years ago, Mo Cloud Sea’s forgers would not have much more than this number.
Zuo Mo knew that the expenses in training forger was high. If Mo Cloud Sea hadn’t just managed catch the market at that time, when Mo Cloud Sea Shen equipment did not lack demand, it would not have been so simple to train so many forgers.
Northern Plains Ice Mansion was willing to train forgers and set up a special department. Hai Xin Bing had foresight.
Zuo Mo suddenly realized that maybe Northern Plains Ice Mansion could possibly become Mo Cloud Sea’s enemy.
