Complete Fusion Spirit Tool

To be honest, this meeting with the Shattered Gold True Monarch was somewhat unexpected for Xiao Chen.

He originally thought that the overall level of the New Cultivation World was somewhat ahead of that of the Compassion Sea.

However, the gap between the two sides shouldn't be too large.

However, it turned out that he seemed to have underestimated the strength of the New Cultivation World.

The Spirit Fusion Technique can even fuse with spiritual materials; this is simply unreasonable.

At first glance, paying double the cost only to increase the power by about 30% seems to have little cost-effectiveness.

However, it should be understood that this gap is large enough in actual combat to create an overwhelming disparity between opponents who were originally evenly matched.

Based on this, if the New Cultivation World were to invade the Compassion Sea...

That would likely result in a devastating, one-sided massacre.

Fortunately, they did not possess the means to travel Two Realms.

"Daoist Jinguang, please don't misunderstand. If we're not going to the Holy City, we don't actually need such expensive Spirit Artifact."

Seeing that Xiao Chen remained silent, seemingly deep in thought, Shattered Gold True Monarch noticed something.

So he immediately changed the subject. "I told you all this just to say that we also have secret techniques that can be used appropriately."

"Actually, I have several other low-cost refining methods here."

"For example, we could focus on reinforcing some relatively inexpensive auxiliary materials, or a single core material."

"This way, the overall cost can be controlled within the range of eight to fifteen million."

"This is sufficient for our area."

The Shattered Gold True Monarch deliberately pointed out the Spirit Fusion Technique right from the start, simply because he wanted to earn more processing fees.

After all, I worked so hard to learn this secret technique back then so that I could earn more money now.

It wasn't just for bragging; it was also to dissuade his customers from getting the Spirit Stone they were about to acquire.

The emphasis on high-priced Spirit Artifact, such as those costing 20 million or 50 million, was merely a small tactic to raise Xiao Chen's expectations.

Look how expensive other people are using these things, you can't be too stingy.

It has to be at least ten million, otherwise how can it be presented as a presentable item?

In fact, from the very beginning, Shattered Gold True Monarch had no expectation that anyone here would be willing to pay a high price of twenty or thirty million to Custom Spirit Tool.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly once again.

If he hadn't been young and impetuous and accidentally offended a Direct Lineage the Xia Family, he would probably still be in the Holy City making money right now, instead of having to hide here.

So much so that they still have to promote their Spirit Fusion Technique in this way.

"Daoist Shattered Gold, if I wanted a spear whose entire material had been enhanced using the Spirit Fusion Technique, approximately how many spiritual materials and Spirit Stone would I need?"

Xiao Chen asked directly, "Besides the Magic Treasure Fragment, all spiritual materials must be of the highest standard."

Since he's already here, he definitely wants to choose the best option.

Even so, this would cost much more Spirit Stone and consume more spirit materials than expected.

However, as long as it's not so expensive that he can't afford it at all, Xiao Chen still wants to go all out and directly acquire a powerful enough Spirit Artifact to arm himself.

"The highest standard, that's no small amount."

The Shattered Gold True Monarch smiled and said, "The main reason is that the spearhead itself is in excellent condition, which means its potential is very high."

As he spoke, he made a six-pointed hand gesture. "If we use the best of everything, the total cost will be at least this much."

The reason it can be so expensive is that even in the Holy City, it is almost impossible for anyone to use the highest standard materials throughout their entire body.

Moreover, some rare and precious materials are simply hard to come by.

Finding even one is extremely difficult; to collect a pair for fusion is even more challenging.

Therefore, Shattered Gold True Monarch was unaware of Xiao Chen's thoughts at this moment.

He simply assumed that the other party wanted to hear the price.

Even if you can't afford it, you can still ask about the price; that's perfectly normal.

However, the next moment, Shattered Gold True Monarch heard a second question, "What kind of spiritual materials are needed?"

"Please help me list some of the main spiritual materials."

Let me check how many things I'm still missing.

Um?

The Shattered Gold True Monarch was taken aback.

What does this mean?

Normally, cultivators outside the Holy City simply cannot afford such an exorbitant construction cost.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to make a list; it's a complete waste of time.

Could it be that this Daoist Jinguang in front of me is serious?

The Shattered Gold True Monarch sat up straight abruptly, his expression becoming much more serious. "Please allow me to ask a question first."

"I wonder how many Spirit Stone Daoist Jinguang brought for this trip?"

"A specific list of spiritual materials requires details about the subsequent refining plan; it's not something that can be determined in a few words."

The point of this question is, if you don't plan to spend that much, then don't ask these unnecessary questions.

Developing a proper refining plan is also quite troublesome.

"If it's the number Daoist Shattered Gold just mentioned, then it should be about right."

Xiao Chen immediately replied, "If that's not enough, I can add a little more. Anything that can be solved with Spirit Stone is negotiable."

My main concern is the availability of spiritual materials.

"After all, some spiritual materials are indeed not easy to collect."

Although Xiao Chen didn't have that many Spirit Stone, what he was referring to here was the Spirit Stone calculated based on the overall construction cost.

The actual crafting of weapons still uses the corresponding spiritual materials.

Therefore, the rare Artifact Refining Material he had accumulated in his Storage Ring, including the spirit ores seized from the Illuminating Void Sect, could all be included.

Moreover, these things make up the majority of the cost.

There are almost no places where Spirit Stone are actually used directly; even when they are used, Spirit Stone are used to buy more spirit materials.

"This... Daoist Jinguang, you're not joking, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Shattered Gold True Monarch's eyes widened immediately, and his body involuntarily leaned forward. "You're really planning to forge Complete Fusion Spirit Tool?"

"I'm going to take this seriously."

This was something he couldn't help but get excited about.

It's important to understand that even those colleagues living in the Holy City might not be able to get such an important job.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there seem to be quite a few Complete Fusion Spirit Tool in the Holy City; that's the total amount accumulated over the years.

If we only look at the last million years with clear historical records...

On average, it takes more than a thousand years for a Complete Fusion Spirit Tool costing more than fifty million Spirit Stone to appear.

In other words, the opportunity to forge a Complete Fusion Spirit Tool only occurs once every thousand years or so.

This is something that any weapon refiner would greatly desire.

If the Shattered Gold True Monarch could personally forge a Complete Fusion Spirit Tool.

For him, that would be a feat worthy of being recorded in the family genealogy and dedicate a page to it.

"Of course I'm not joking."

Xiao Chen answered without hesitation, "I came to find Daoist Shattered Gold this time precisely to forge a sufficiently powerful Spirit Artifact."

"Since there's a better option, why shouldn't I choose it?"

"However, whether it will succeed depends on whether we can gather all the necessary materials."

"Please think about what spiritual materials you might need, and I'll try to gather them."

Although Xiao Chen originally intended to come here to customize a set of Spirit Artifact.

But as he just said, after learning about the Fusion Technique, he temporarily changed his plans.

Instead of forging several Ordinary Spirit Tool, it's better to start with one top-tier, Complete Fusion Spirit Tool.

When I return to the Compassion Sea with this thing, even fighting opponents of a higher level should be a piece of cake.

Even without the Nine Dragons Diagram, he could still confront a top-tier Great Demon like the Jin Luan head-on.

"No problem, it will definitely work!"

The Shattered Gold True Monarch immediately replied, "To be honest, I have accumulated quite a few spiritual materials over the years."

"As long as you haven't deceived me, I can sell these spiritual materials to you at cost price."

"Now, fellow Daoist, please tell me in detail what your main requirements are for this Spirit Artifact."

Xiao Chen's needs were actually very simple.

First and foremost, it must be lethal enough.

Especially when used to fight against Fourth-Order great demon, it must be able to directly pierce their carapace.

Then comes the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.

Besides being able to be driven by true essence, this Spirit Artifact would ideally also receive an amplification from the Vitality Power.

Finally, it needs to be sturdy enough.

Ideally, it should be durable enough to withstand attacks from other Spirit Artifact, and not easily damaged by bumps or knocks.

"Hmm? Only these three?"

The Shattered Gold True Monarch was taking notes with paper and pen when he discovered that Xiao Chen had finished speaking in just a few words.

Although the first and third conditions are quite remarkable for Ordinary Spirit Tool.

However, for Complete Fusion Spirit Tool, these requirements are merely basic.

Even without explicit emphasis, it should be fully compliant.

After thinking for a moment, True Shattered Gold True Monarch decided to take the initiative and ask some more detailed questions.

They talked for almost half an hour, filling more than ten pages with notes, before they finally got a basic understanding of the refining details.

He then began to write down a list.

He wrote for a full hour before finally stopping.

The reason it took so long was that Shattered Gold True Monarch was even more worried than Xiao Chen about not being able to gather enough spiritual materials.

After all, for Xiao Chen...

If he really can't gather all the necessary spiritual materials, he can choose to lower his standards and forge a cheaper Spirit Artifact to make do.

But for the Shattered Gold True Monarch...

If he misses this opportunity, he may never encounter another customer willing to forge a Complete Fusion Spirit Tool in his lifetime.

He had to consider whether this was the only opportunity he would ever have.

To this end, Shattered Gold True Monarch wrote out eight different refining plans, each requiring different main spiritual materials.

At the same time, for each spiritual material in each plan, we will try our best to clearly indicate which alternatives it has.

The main idea is to use whichever one you can collect.

"Daoist Jinguang, take a look at these lists and choose the easiest one."

The Shattered Gold True Monarch handed over the plan, adding with some concern, "It's alright if we don't have some spiritual materials for the time being."

"We can discuss together the difficulty of collecting these spiritual materials."

"If we keep searching, we'll definitely have a chance to collect them in thirty or fifty years."

While saying 30 to 50 years might seem exaggerated, it's actually a rather optimistic estimate.

In fact, as many rare and non-renewable spiritual items become increasingly scarce, it is becoming more and more difficult to gather Complete Fusion Spirit Tool.

In recent tens of thousands of years, less and less information about this topic has been circulating, and the intervals between them have become increasingly longer.

"So many spiritual materials are needed?"

When Xiao Chen looked at the list, he realized that refining weapons was not a simple matter either.

Even the shortest plan involved a total of over seven hundred kinds of spiritual materials, including over a hundred Fourth-Order Spiritual Item alone.

The most complex plan involved over 1,100 kinds of spiritual materials, including more than 90 Fourth-Order Spiritual Item.

In essence, it involved replacing some fourth-tier Third-Order Spirit Material- tier spiritual materials.

In terms of overall cost, the shorter plan actually had a lower total price.

However, considering the difficulty of collecting spiritual materials, the more complicated plan is still easier.

After all, most of the time, Third-Order Spiritual Object are much easier to find than Fourth-Order Spiritual Item, with exceptions.

"Oh, this proposal is quite interesting."

After comparing the different proposals, Xiao Chen discovered that one of the proposals, which involved more than 930 kinds of spiritual materials, mentioned the most alternative spiritual materials.

At the same time, they are all relatively concentrated, mostly materials from Demon Beast, and not too limited to any particular race.

"Daoist Shattered Gold, I previously obtained some spiritual materials from Fourth-tier Sea Fish. Would it be convenient for me to use them as a substitute?"

As he spoke, he took out Mud Carp Thorns and vertebrae, and handed them over for the other person to examine.

The Shattered Gold True Monarch took it and examined it carefully, immediately frowning.

He used a detection Law Technique to check it over, still feeling uneasy, before finally breathing a sigh of relief, "Although I don't recognize what kind of Demon Beast it is, the item is fine."

"This spine is just right to replace the spine of the Ring Illusion Fish; they're about the same size."

"Also, this bag of White Fish Scales is quite good; it can completely replace the scales of the Blue-tailed Pangolin."

oh?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately asked, "Can fish scales replace the scales of Land Demonic Beast?"

The Shattered Gold True Monarch explained, "It depends on the situation. If it's forging a defensive Spirit Artifact, then naturally the requirements will be more stringent."

"However, we mainly value the material of the scales themselves, using them as consumables for the fusion technique."

"This greatly expands the range of choices."

"On this list, apart from these main materials and the important auxiliary materials such as the Suspended Wood Vine, the Silkworm Butterfly Powder, and the Purple Zither Jade Tree, everything else can be replaced."

Xiao Chen immediately understood. "Oh, so that's how it is."

"That's quite a coincidence. I happen to have some materials made from Sea Fish on me. Please check them out, fellow Daoist."

As he spoke, he took out all the fourth-tier spiritual materials he had obtained from the Illuminating Void Sect.

Suddenly, a small mountain appeared between the two of them.

"Ah?"

Upon seeing this, Shattered Gold True Monarch was immediately startled. What was going on?

With his discerning eye, he could tell without even touching them that most of these spiritual materials came from Fourth-tier Sea Fish.

The problem is that there are no true Fourth-tier Sea Fish in the entire Northern Lands.

Although there are a few Inner Sea, the overall Spiritual Qi in the outside world is scarce, and even Golden Core Sea Fish are rarely seen in the sea.

Incidentally, it's not just Sea Fish that are affected.

In fact, there were hardly any wild Demon Beast roaming the entire wasteland.

The Spirit Beast Meat sold in the major markets almost all comes from nearby blessed lands or Spirit Beast Garden established by large Lineage.

Therefore, there are almost no High-Tier Demonic Beast materials circulating in the outside world.

They were all absorbed internally by the various sects or Lineage.

Therefore, it was Xiao Chen's sudden appearance of so many Sea Fish ingredients that greatly surprised Shattered Gold True Monarch.

A sense of unease began to creep into my mind.

Could it be that this Daoist Jinguang actually came from the south?
