A few days later, in the spacious living room of the Black Iron Institute.
The Artifact Emperor, clad in a specially made black robe, with a burly body and a thick beard, sat leisurely on the sofa.
Lin Qi sat opposite him.
After taking a sip of his drink, he took a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from his Source Core and suspended them in the air.
"Senior Artifact Emperor, I've now bought all the raw materials needed to forge the Nine-Patterned Secret Treasure on the list."
"Take a look!"
The Artifact Emperor immediately revealed a surprised expression. He drew the twenty pieces of Phantom Space Sand closer and watched the space around them shift like a dreamlike illusion.
He then sensed the other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before finally saying in surprise,
"You actually gathered everything so quickly. None of these things are cheap."
"Especially the Phantom Space Sand. Even with Contribution Points, you might not be able to buy it. It requires a bit of luck."
"I originally thought that after repairing all your Secret Treasures, we could sell them in the Myriad Phenomena World. Only then would we have enough Contribution Points to buy sufficient Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
"It seems you're even wealthier than I imagined."
Then he stood up, stretched lazily, and said,
"Now that the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have been gathered, I can begin work."
"Dark Venerate, I'll notify you once the forging is complete."
"Don't worry. I definitely won't disappoint you."
"Your Nine-Patterned Secret Treasure will only be of higher quality than other Nine-Patterned Secret Treasures."
"With it, your combat power will take a tremendous leap."
Lin Qi also rose and thanked him.
"Senior Artifact Emperor, then I'll have to trouble you."
