Cultivation: Being I Chapter 79

Chapter 79

"Senior Lin, Senior Lin is here!"

"Shopkeeper, co out quickly, Senior Lin is here!"

When Lin Jiang appeared once again in the face of Lin Sheng at Star Gathering Tower, he was quickly recognized by the staff. Soon, Lin Jiang entered the VIP room once again, and the shopkeeper of Star Gathering Tower personally ca out to greet him.

"Taoist Friend Lin, it's been years since you last ca."

"In these past few years, I've been traveling around and haven't been in Yunzhong City."

"I see. I envy you, Taoist Friend Lin. You have ti to travel around, unlike . I'm caught up in worldly matters and can't break free."

"The shopkeeper of Star Gathering Tower doesn't know how many people envy him."

"Haha, it seems that we both admire each other. What does Taoist Friend Lin need this ti at Star Gathering Tower?"

"Let's customize so spiritual tools. The ones I have are not usable anymore."

"Looks like a big business is coming. I wonder what level of spiritual tools Taoist Friend Lin needs to customize."

"A complete set, top quality, and if there's superb quality, that would be great too."

Lin Jiang said calmly. This morning, he saw the incident involving He family's young master being ntioned again by Cloud Sword Sect in Yunzhong City, which made him feel a sense of crisis. Plus, the middle section of Yunzhong Mountain Range has always been a world of survival of the fittest. So Lin Jiang gritted his teeth and decided to change his equipnt.

Magical tools and spiritual tools are generally divided into four categories: upper, middle, lower, and top quality. Top quality is the limit of magical tools and spiritual tools. But no one knows which genius ca up with the concept of superb quality.

What is superb quality? It ans using a slightly lower grade material while predominantly using higher grade materials, through special ans. This surpasses the limit of the next grade material.

Let's give an example - using materials used to forge treasures to create spiritual tools. These spiritual tools will surpass the level of regular top quality spiritual tools but will be lower than treasures. That's why they are called superb quality.

This kind of excellent quality spiritual weapon is expensive and can only be crafted by a highly skilled blacksmith. Its price is not lower than that of a magic treasure, making it the most high-end spiritual weapon that only a few people can afford.

"Wow, Taoist Friend Lin must have made a fortune with this superb quality item."

"What fortune? Going out and exploring the cultivation world is dangerous. Without your life, you have nothing. That's why I prioritize staying alive."

"Taoist Friend Lin is right. Please wait a mont while I summon a blacksmith to discuss this with you."

The shopkeeper realized he had said too much and quickly changed the subject, calling for a blacksmith to join them.

"I am Master Zheng Daqi, a blacksmith at the Star Gathering Tower. I have been inford by the shopkeeper that Taoist Friend Lin wishes to customize a superb quality spiritual weapon. May I know your requirents?"

"I want to customize two flying swords. One should be sharp and sturdy enough to break through top-tier spiritual weapons with a single strike. The other should be fast and energy-efficient.

I also need a set of flying needles with the ability to break through strong defenses, but they don't need to possess both qualities. They should be able to conceal my divine consciousness. Additionally, I would like to customize a set of armor..."

Lin Jiang explained his requirents one by one, requesting items that he commonly used, but with a high level of quality.

"Friend Lin, why don't you listen to my advice?"

"Please speak, respected Zheng."

"I won't talk much about the flying sword, as our friend here cannot activate magical treasures. Let's follow their suggestions, and we don't really need heavy armor. I suggest using a magical robe instead. Also, there's..."

Based on Lin Jiang's needs, Zheng Daqi gave suggestions to Lin Jiang. Since it's a custom order, it should be tailored according to the custor's actual requirents. Star Gathering Tower does this very well.

After thinking for a mont, Lin Jiang decided to respect the technicians' opinions and follow their recomndations. The next step is to discuss the materials to be used. Different materials have different characteristics and prices.

(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)

Lin Jiang's knowledge in this area is lacking. Each craftsman specializes in their own field, and there are countless materials for refining in the cultivation world. It's difficult for anyone to be omniscient, so professional opinions are needed.

After a busy half-day, Zheng Daqi has recorded all of Lin Jiang's needs and taken asurents of their body. He hands the list over to the shopkeeper.

"Friend Lin, to make it according to your requirents, it will cost 250,000 spirit stones."

"Is there no discount? I am a longti custor of Star Gathering Tower, after all."

"This is already the discounted price, and it's the best deal. I won't deceive you, and everyone knows about our Zhonghang Sect."

"Okay, it's 250,000, no problem. I just have one small request."

"Taoist Friend Lin, please speak."

"Don't make it fancy, keep it simple. Also, I require confidentiality about my identity. I don't want anyone else to know about this, or else I'll report it to the elders of your sect through Cao Ying."

"Taoist friend, don't worry. Star Gathering Tower in Yunzhong City is very strict in following the rules. I guarantee, on behalf of Star Gathering Tower, that this matter will only involve a maximum of five people. The sixth person will never find out."

The shopkeeper nodded. Keeping confidentiality for high-level custors was their basic requirent. Lin Jiang had ntioned it, so naturally, the confidentiality level had to be raised once again.

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

"Taoist Friend Lin, please pay a deposit of 50,000 upfront. The remaining amount can be paid on the day of delivery."

"How long will it take to refine it?"

"Three months"

Zheng Daqi said on the side, so materials still need to be sourced from other places, which will take ti.

"Then it will be three months."

Lin Jiang didn't ask to shorten the ti, he needed to maintain quality and quantity.

Lin Jiang paid a deposit of fifty thousand spirit stones and then left the Star Gathering Tower.

"Zheng Master, you heard what Taoist Friend Lin said. You need to personally handle this matter, don't let the disciples fool around. We can't afford to offend this person."

"Hehe, don't worry, shopkeeper. I know him, he is Cao Ying's uncle."

Zheng Daqi nodded. Cao Ying has been the most outstanding genius in the Zhonghang Sect in recent years. Not only is she exceptionally talented, but she is also loved by the two elders Chen Mingyang and Ouyang Qing. Who dares to offend him?

"It's good that you know. Let's not say much else. Once this matter is accomplished, you will receive a higher commission."

The shopkeeper nodded. Now no one wants to offend Cao Ying, plus Lin Jiang is their important custor, so they naturally have to serve him well.

······

Lin Jiang left Star Gathering Tower and went straight to the northern part of the city. Luckily, there was a cave just vacated in the north, so Lin Jiang rented it for three months.

Upon entering the cave, Lin Jiang took out the True Spirit Pill for cultivation. In all these years, he has never been so diligent as he is now. But he has no choice, because the current Lin Jiang feels a sense of urgency and crisis.

The matter involving He family’s young master is related to Cloud Sword Sect. If sothing happens, Zhonghang Sect cannot guarantee his safety, after all, he is not a disciple of Zhonghang Sect and his relationship with Cao Ying is not strong enough.

Lin Jiang understands these relationships very well. If it doesn't involve the core interests of Zhonghang Sect, everyone is willing to give him face, but once it touches the core interests, it becos difficult. The relationship between Zhonghang Sect and Cloud Sword Sect is indeed a core interest, there's no denying that.

After three months, Lin Jiang returned the rented cave in the north of the city. To his embarrassnt, despite three months of hard cultivation, his cultivation only slightly improved and he was still at the early stage of Building foundation. Lin Jiang once again felt the gap in his talent in this body.

Coming back to Star Gathering Tower, Zheng Daqi and the shopkeeper appeared again, displaying the customized items one by one.

"Taoist Friend Lin, these are superb quality spiritual tools. It takes three to five years for soone to customize one at Star Gathering Tower, and it's worth giving them nas. We didn't na them confidently, so how about you suggest one?"

"I'll go back and co again, once I confirm everything is correct, then we can trade."

Lin Jiang nodded, he didn't really spend much thought naming the spirit tool, an item is just an item, cultivators should not rely too much on them, their own cultivation is the most important.

Lin Jiang used all his knowledge to discern each one, but of course he didn't discern anything, he could only feel the impressive power of these items from their aura. Star Gathering Tower has been a reputable business for hundreds of years, they wouldn't sell inferior goods. The bigger the business, the more they value their reputation, and reputation is an invisible wealth.

After completing the delivery of the spirit stones, Lin Jiang left and stayed one more day in Yunzhong City. In the inn, he consecrated and imprinted his own divine consciousness on the various spirit tools before he could use them freely.

"For an ordinary Building foundation stage cultivator, having one or two high-quality spirit tools is already a luxury. How can they have as many equipnts as I do? Relying on these equipnts, I am not afraid of the threats of the mid-stage of Building foundation. If I add the Explosive Elent Technique, I can even defeat cultivators in the late stage of Building foundation."

Lin Jiang said to himself, if he encountered Chen Jianhong from back then, he wouldn't need Zhang Ruifang to sacrifice herself, he could kill him easily.

Early the next morning, Lin Jiang flew to Yunzhong Mountain Range, it's ti to take Sun Man's cave. If he didn't take it soon, it might beco soone else's opportunity.
