Chapter 961: Chapter 54: The Blacksmiths’ Shock, Golden Core Brings Transformation
It is worth mentioning that the Golden Core is branded under the name Xi Rong.
The approach taken by Jiucai Rong in the Immortal Realm is: find Jian Xin and request the factory to label the product for them, claiming that Xi Rong is a major force in the All Heavens World, and their brand is reliable.
This was considered to bring benefits here.
Thus, Jian Xin didn’t mind, as making money is the goal, and having someone take the front line isn’t that a good thing?
The painter’s idea was: make money for oneself, push Xi Rong out as a scapegoat, pretty good, after all, no one can trace it back to me.
Thus, the Golden Core was officially released by the "Xi Rong" Divine Craftsman, who never appeared in the Immortal Realm!
...
Nine-State, Sword Casting Manor.
"Not bad, sold out on the first day!"
Ning Zheng, peering through Jian Xin’s perspective, sneaked a glance at the sales situation in the Immortal Realm’s marketplace, showing a hint of a smile:
"This Immortal Shopkeeper Jiucai Rong knows how to get things moving."
This initial sale was just a small test... but it seemed quite popular.
What he cared about was not a small shop’s profit, but the opening of a market’s pathway, representing a possibility for daily golden wealth.
Well, it does seem so.
The weapons crafted by blacksmiths are never hard to sell.
Goosegrass weapons, painting cards, Transforming Coral Balls sold to the Sea Race, inviting a bunch of Kissing Fish to serve as sales clerks...
"Looks like my manor’s first Golden Core product to conquer the Immortal Realm is completely secured."
Ning Zheng opened the forum.
It was now seven o’clock in the evening, just logged off.
A group of blacksmiths were crazily discussing the form and materials of the Golden Core, and various updated ideas on the forum.
Obviously.
They also started to become keen on alchemy, throwing heavy metals into it.
And many people in the forum were saying to abide by Earth’s traditional virtues, and to spread the traditional technology of silver and mercury alchemy into the game’s Otherworld.
It was apparent they were a group of jokers, frantically looking for fun.
But farming, selling weapon products, after all, has always been the Sword Casting Manor’s road to wealth, able to earn Ning Zheng vast amounts of resources.
Quite something to look forward to.
...
That night.
Dark currents surged within the marketplace. Many diligent Immortal parents, hoping their children would become dragons or achieve immortality through the "college entrance exam," thought if their kids passed one more tribulation, they could surpass countless peers of their generation.
"Kids, Golden Core, delicious!"
"Hurry and eat, this was not easily snatched by your father today! As one Golden Core enters my stomach, my destiny is mine, not Heaven’s!"
Screams suddenly came from various places, incessant.
Some scream-loving cultivators even screamed all night.
It was as if they were enduring some cruel golden swallowing punishment, feeling their entire gut was being burned, subjected to the most brutal torture all night in the Immortal Realm.
Clearly, this Golden Core is a time-release absorption pill, needing to stay in the stomach for several days to absorb its efficacy.
The marketplace’s owner, the Chongshan Family, was secretly studying these pills.
They invited the family’s chief alchemist.
The renowned elder in the surrounding area, upon receiving the pill, repeatedly waved his hand, blowing his beard and glaring:
"This pill is too special! I cannot decipher it; why not seek the blacksmiths, they are the experts!"
All the elders were shocked.
Researching pills, the alchemist is not expert enough, this is an absurd joke.
However, even more absurd was.
They invited the chief Divine Craftsman, who also couldn’t make heads or tails of it, feeling that the pill was beyond his jurisdiction, not a matter of technical ability, he truly could not practice it.
But this blacksmith, from a forging perspective, offered constructive remarks:
"This pill contains quite a bit of various Divine Gold metal toxicity, useful for weapon crafting, but for alchemy..."
"You should know that many miners who quarry such veins are injured by the strong Sharp Metal Qi, resulting in shorter lifespans, mining with their lives at risk, and now it’s used for consumption..."
"However, the material of this pill is very unique, it can accommodate destiny, after consumption, don’t waste it."
"This pill, I can transform into a small Luck Suppressing Treasure Pearl to hang around the neck, which is quite nice as well."
The Chongshan Family’s higher-ups fell silent for a moment.
This pill is indeed peculiar.
Buying pills gives you destiny-type forging materials.
Is this shop selling consumable pills, or weapon materials?
The Patriarch suddenly spoke: "If I collect eighty-one Golden Cores and string them together, could they become a Luck Suppressing Bead Chain?"
"Yes." The Divine Craftsman stroked his beard, showing excitement:
"Wonderful! The Patriarch has a great idea! Buy more pills, I was just thinking of researching these weapons!"
He thought for a moment, "No, if I can think of it, other old undying blacksmiths can too, they’ll likely visit tomorrow as well."
The Chongshan Patriarch fell into deeper silence.
This Celestial Immortal in existence found it ridiculous.
This pill shop, why are you blacksmiths, a bunch of hammer-wielding men, going there to source weapon raw materials?
How can this not seem out of place!
All present Divine Craftsmen also had fiery gazes, filled with eager anticipation: "Who is this celestial being, with such innovative artistry, truly wish to study this pill with them!"
Unlike Nine-State’s Spirit Farmer being the primary profession.
The version in the Immortal Realm has the Alchemist as the most popular profession.
After all.
You can do without weapons, but not without pills.
Especially for Human Immortals, who start cultivating to supplement the third source—destiny, diligent cultivation alone is not enough.
You have to take Life Cultivation Pills!
So, Alchemists are the most sought after, which has also nurtured their arrogant personalities.
Those cursed Alchemists mock the blacksmiths every day.
And now?
The Chongshan chief blacksmith showed anticipation, cheerfully saying, "In our life, we’ve dreamed of surpassing Alchemists."
"Now it’s beyond imagination, we blacksmiths, still using large hammers, forging furnaces, hammering metals, are conducting alchemy!"
They had intense gazes, also longing to wield large hammers, to easily outdo the neighboring Alchemists.
This elder carefully touched the texture on the Golden Core, looking at the two small words "Xi Rong" on it, "This Xi Rong... who in the world is this divine force?"
All the blacksmiths of the Chongshan Family, from this day started to continuously study this Golden Core, with a vague sense of anticipation in their hearts.
This mysterious itinerant merchant, brought them a great blacksmith revolution!
We only knew blacksmiths making killing weapons, yet didn’t we also dream of being great Alchemists who save and help the injured??
A tall, burly blacksmith couldn’t help but say eagerly:
"Tomorrow, I, this blacksmith, will visit that Alchemy Room and wish to learn alchemy with that mysterious entity."
"Together, together."
"Remember to bring your large hammer."
"I will also bring my forging furnace, and the Immortal Weapon I just forged! Let’s see whose Sharp Metal Qi is stronger!"
That night, the winds surged violently.
Everyone could predict that early the next morning, that Taoist Golden Core shop, would surely be bustling with activity.
