Chapter 200: Metamorphosis Pearl (1/2)

“I want to buy some cultivation items. Which floor should I head to?” Cheng Yu looked at the waiter and asked.

“Cultivation items are on the third floor. Please follow me, two immortal masters,” When the waiter heard Cheng Yu wanted to buy cultivation items, he quickly went forward and guided them. Similar to the Qiongyu Pavilion in Ningshui City, the first and second floors were restaurants, and the third story onwards were selling cultivation items.

“Fellow cultivators, I, Zhang Shou, am the manager here. May I know what you two need?” Cheng Yu and the messy old man came to the third story. A gray haired old man came forward to attend to them. That old man was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

“Manager Zhang, may I know if you have any blacksmithing techniques?” Cheng Yu had always hoped to obtain a set of blacksmithing techniques as the armaments on him were too lousy.

“I’m truly sorry. Blacksmithing techniques are too precious. Even if it was just a very ordinary blacksmithing technique, it would fetch a sky-high price. Therefore, in Tianhai City, we usually don’t have this kind of item. If fellow cultivator wishes to buy it, you can go to a third grade city to buy it. The Qiongyu Pavilion over there would usually have one or two types in stock,” When Zhang Shou heard Cheng Yu was looking for blacksmithing techniques, he was disappointed, but he still explained to Cheng Yu in detail.

“Like this! Then does Manager Zhang know how much an ordinary blacksmithing technique would usually cost?” Cheng Yu did not expect that it would be so hard to buy a blacksmithing technique. This thing was actually so rare?

“Normally, an ordinary low-grade blacksmithing technique would need at least thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. As for those high-grade ones, it’s naturally impossible to quote,” Zhang Shou said.

Thousands of spiritual stones?! Your mother! Cheng Yu sold 1000 top-grade Qi Gathering Pills and was only able to get 5000 low-grade spiritual stones. A low-grade blacksmithing technique would actually need thousands? This was just daylight robbery! It seemed like this trip to the Cultivation World would need Cheng Yu to think of ideas to earn spiritual stones. Otherwise, if he were to risk his life for the next few months and was unable to earn anything, he would suffer huge losses.

Techniques were usually separated into heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Heaven rank is the highest, and yellow rank is the lowest. Actually, Cheng Yu’s thinking was very simple. He wanted to look for a simple blacksmithing technique and master it before researching a new technique himself. However, judging from the current situation, it would be extremely hard for him to even get a good blacksmithing technique.

“Friend, actually those ordinary blacksmithing techniques are basically trash. Those equipments that were refined will not only be low-grade, but also full of flaws. Even if it was an extremely high-grade one, it would only be worth hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones. Practically, it does not have much value,” Zhang Shou explained. Actually, Cheng Yu also knew of this reasoning. When it came to pill concocting, Cheng Yu was an expert. But for blacksmithing, Cheng Yu had absolutely no knowledge. Previously, he had also tried to improve his refinement of his storage ring, but had no progress.

However, this method appeared to only be able to forge a simple storage ring. Perhaps, it might be because this blacksmithing technique was too simple or it might be because forging a storage ring could not even be counted as blacksmithing. Therefore, Cheng Yu had no idea which direction to follow. Now that he had come to the Cultivation World, Cheng Yu hoped that he would be able to obtain a complete blacksmithing technique to research. It was commonly known that good cultivation equipment was something a cultivator shouldn’t lack. With similar cultivations, if one held a treasured tool or spiritual tool, he could easily slaughter his opponent. It could evidently show how important it was to have good equipment.

If Cheng Yu had a treasured tool on hand, he wouldn’t have been beaten into such a sorry state a few days ago. At least when he was fighting against Huang Wen, he could kill Huang Wen off with just a slash.

“Friend, how about looking at something else? Recently, we had a batch of new products that’s very suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Does friend wish to take a look?” Before Cheng Yu even replied, Zhang Shou opened his mouth and asked again. As for the sloppy old man who had been standing behind Cheng Yu, he was naturally being neglected by Zhang Shou. The old man had long gotten used to how others judged him. He seemed to not be bothered. Besides, with his cultivation level, there was nothing here that could attract him.

“Really? Would Manager Zhang mind taking them out for me to have a look?” Since there were no blacksmithing techniques, Cheng Yu wanted to obtain a weapon that he could use. At the very least, it must be able to handle his full force.

“Sure. Please wait for a moment,” When Zhang Shou saw Cheng Yu had the intention to purchase some items, he quickly ran up to the fourth story.

“Old man, are blacksmithing techniques really so expensive?” The third floor was empty except for Cheng Yu and the old man. No matter how, the old man was someone from the Cultivation World. He would obviously be more knowledgeable.

“It’s not that precious, but just very rare. Just like he said, those good blacksmithing techniques can’t be bought. Those which are taken out for sale would usually be some low-graded trashy ones. Kid, you want to learn blacksmithing? Do you know that if you want to forge good equipment, you would need to have a high cultivation level? Otherwise, even if you were to use a heaven rank blacksmithing technique, you still wouldn’t be able to refine a spiritual weapon,” The old man replied to Cheng Yu disdainfully.

“Why is it so?” When Cheng Yu heard the old man’s words, he asked curiously.

“What’s so strange about it? Could it be that you think that with just a heaven rank blacksmithing technique, you would be able to forge an immortal tool? With your current cultivation, you would at most be able to forge a treasured tool and this is using the assumption of you using a particularly good blacksmithing technique,” The old man said vaguely. Although the old man didn’t go into details, Cheng Yu still understood what he meant because as a Pill Master, he knew that a lot of high-grade pills also had such restrictions. Just like how even if Cheng Yu had the ingredients now, he still wouldn’t be able to concoct an immortal pill. In short, everything boils down to one’s cultivation.

However, Cheng Yu felt that even if he could only forge a treasured tool, it was still sufficient for him for now. Not long later, Zhang Shou carried a few long boxes down.

“Friend has waited. These are our new products. This sword is a mid-grade treasured weapon,” Zhang Shou opened the box that contained the long sword first. Inside the box was a long sword that was fully coated in silver.
