"Great Sun Radiant Gold..."
Jiang Ding studied the inheritance carefully for a while.
He had a vague feeling that Great Sun Radiant Gold was similar to Blazing Sun Spirit Iron, only a higher-grade material. Blazing Sun Spirit Iron No. 1 Factory already existed; upgrade and refit it, and it should be able to produce the gold too.
Ever since the Supreme Clarity Flying Sword had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul treasure stage, most of the factory had shut down anyway. Only the portion serving Immortal Sect sword cultivators remained in operation, earning tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones a year. Most of its machines stood idle.
"But I'm not sure. I'm a complete outsider when it comes to materials. I'll ask Senior Myriad Mechanisms's avatar next month."
"With the complete inheritance and the research already done, it shouldn't be difficult."
"It's the cost..."
Jiang Ding looked pained.
As one of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion's finest creations of immortal-path technology, the Supreme Clarity Flying Sword would not be cheap.
It could make do with coarse grain. It adapted well to harsh conditions and could endure lean years.
But the consequence would be painfully slow refinement and a stunted flying sword. His bonded flying sword would directly affect his Dao Path, lowering his chances of breaking through to Void Refining.

Its principal materials would have to be Spirit Transformation-grade heavenly treasures... Still, that seems much cheaper than the Great Sun super-battleship?"
"Fair enough. It would be refining
