Chapter 76: Ready for the Next Step
.
The stir caused by the appearance of this new brand lasted quite a while, but eventually it began to die down as people started getting used to them.
For now, they had only covered three fields, offering a sort of temporary relief to the other competitors, who at first thought they’d spread to other areas too, snatching up a good chunk of the market and custors, but that didn’t happen.
Atleast, not yet.
Thanks to Zhu Rong’s help, Old Han was able to keep walking down his path and successfully beca a Master Blacksmith at the initial stages.
It might have seed like a small step if you considered the goal Zhu Rong had set for him,
but this step was more than enough to make Old Han happy, as he’d been stuck at that sa point for nearly a decade already.
Seeing that his skills had finally taken a step forward reignited his hunger for growth and improvent, pushing him to work in the forge with newfound passion.
And before long, he managed to create a Grade 3 Spirit rank weapon, the highest rank he’d ever reached so far,
and that was exactly what helped him earn the title of Master Blacksmith.
He was basically starting to make a na for himself within the pavilion, and under his guidance, even the forging departnt had begun to beco more and more efficient,
reaching the point of producing at least one Grade 1 Spirit rank weapon a day, sothing that was pretty impressive in itself.
Normally, even a single Spirit rank weapon could take several days, if not a whole week to make.
But Old Han didn’t stop at just producing them, he also started teaching others, both the new and old workers, helping with the production and speeding up the weapon crafting process.
They weren’t making Grade 3 ones, but even Grade 1 was more than enough, and seeing the progress of his team, he believed it wouldn’t take long before they’d be able to help him craft higher grade weapons,
eventually reaching Grade 3 themselves, which would also open up the possibility of them becoming Master Blacksmiths too.
If another blacksmith or organization saw how fast they were improving, they’d probably slap themselves a few tis just to check if they were dreaming.
And it wasn’t just this departnt, even the alchemy and talisman divisions were starting to have more and more people, with Zhu Rong slowly starting to take a step back,
letting others handle everything while he continued to give them lessons, steadily improving their skills bit by bit.
Work efficiency kept going up, and so did the skill level of his workers.
At so point, Zhu Rong’s daily inco exceeded 20 high grade spirit stones, a huge number for a business that was still in its early stages.
Considering the production costs and the salaries he paid his staff, he was left with less than 10 high grade spirit stones, still not a small amount by any ans.
Eventually, he stopped participating actively and dedicated himself completely to his cultivation.
The trip to the mine was just around the corner, and he wanted to reach a good cultivation level before that day ca.
Currently, in one of the high level cultivation chambers of the pavilion,
Zhu Rong was sitting cross legged at the center of the chamber, but this ti, instead of sitting on the floor, he was levitating above it, while a faint aura covered his body from head to toe.
His hair floated slightly in the air, and his eyes were shut tight in deep ditation.
From the outside, everything looked calm, but inside his dantian, things were the exact opposite.
Zhu Rong had been cultivating day and night recently, and it had been nearly two weeks since his last breakthrough.
During that ti, he managed to create his fifth elental core,
the tal elent.
Unlike the other natural elents for which he had already so beast cores, this one was harder, since he didn’t have a direct source of tal elental Qi.
Creating it naturally using only the Qi present in the surroundings was much harder, as the density of that elent was much lower in this region of the empire.
That’s why most people preferred to use beast cores or other elental Qi sources for cultivation,
since the pure, natural Qi present in the environnt always contained only faint traces of elents, especially ones like Wood, tal, Ice, and Lightning.
It wasnt worth wasting ti cultivating these elents without a proper source of elental Qi, it would have required an enormous amount of ti and effort.
Even Liang Yuexin, now that she had reached the fourth stage, was having a hard ti cultivating her Lightning elent due to the lack of a proper source.
She had managed to push her cultivation base to the peak of the fourth stage, but doing the sa for her elental cultivation was becoming difficult.
Her only saving grace was that she had a personal stash of wealth she was using to buy resources for that elent.
If not for that, she would have once again hit a bottleneck, not because of her ability, but simply because she lacked the proper resources.
That said, if Zhu Rong didn’t have the technique of Elental Extres of Dao, he wouldn’t have wasted ti cultivating that elent,
he would’ve just gone out and found a beast core with that attribute instead.
But luckily for him, this cultivation technique increased a person’s natural affinity with the elents,
and as a result, drawing in various elental energies from the surrounding Qi beca faster and easier for him.
He had spent almost an entire week gathering enough tal elental Qi to form the core, and finally, once he succeeded, cultivating that elent beca much smoother and faster.
He spent the following week raising the cultivation stage of that core, and little by little, he did the sa with the others as well.
Finally, after two weeks of intense cultivation, he managed to reach the peak of the second stage,
with almost all of his cores also reaching the peak of the second stage.
Reaching this point within that ti fra, with five elental cores inside his dantian alone, had been a challenge on its own,
but the real challenge was just about to begin.
