The Little Demon Emperor hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "A Heavenly Dao-Class Weapon costs five hundred million points. A Forging Crystal costs one billion points."
Demon Emperor Daochen stared at him in shock. "Are you joking? A Heavenly Dao-Class Weapon only costs five hundred million, yet you're asking a billion for a Forging Crystal?"
The Little Demon Emperor waved his hands. "That has nothing to do with me. The higher-ups set the price, and it's always been the same."
"Forging essence can do more than raise a weapon to Heavenly Dao grade. It can also forge things beyond Heavenly Dao-Class Weapons."
"It has so many uses that its value is extremely high."
"If you want to upgrade the weapon in your hands, that's the price you have to pay. It isn't something I can control."
Demon Emperor Daochen was speechless. He was no fool with money to burn. How could he let someone fleece him so easily?
Besides, using forging essence to upgrade a Heavenly Dao-Class Weapon was clearly like using a mighty timber for a trivial task. It was an obvious waste.
Demon Emperor Daochen looked at the Little Demon Emperor. "What sort of forging techniques do you need to upgrade a Heavenly Dao-Class Weapon? I've got strength to spare. Perhaps I could learn."
They then began searching through the list for forging skills.
The Little Demon Emperor selected three books and displayed them before the Demon Emperor: "Celestial Craftsman," "Ultimate Craftsman," and "Divine Craftsmanship."
"These three forging methods are the finest we can redeem. If someone truly mastered any one of them, I believe they could forge Heavenly Dao-Class Weapons."
"But even getting started with these three is incredibly difficult. Learning even one level would probably take tens of thousands of years, or much, much longer.
