Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 421 - 278: The Value of Three Thousand Demons
Within the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, every checkpoint location has a stele supply point.
Chen Ku merely scanned with his hundred feet divine consciousness and discovered the stele in Blood Maple Forest. He approached, stamped the Martial Arts Gold Order onto it, and began reviewing the weapon forging.
He once again saw those eighteen types of weapons. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Purple Lightning Thunder Blade (Divine Weapon), Breaking Formation Dragon Snake Spear (Divine Weapon), Ruyi Qing Guangjian (Divine Weapon), Mixed Iron Ice-Breaking Stick (Divine Weapon)...
Each divine weapon requires different materials.
For example, the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade requires Jiuli Armor Leaf, Purple Lightning Horn, Thunder Swamp Divine Sand.
Mixed Iron Ice-Breaking Stick requires Thousand-year Cold Iron Essence, Xuanming Ice Crystal, Earth Core Black Gold.
Chen Ku looked at the three divine weapon materials in his possession.
He frowned slightly.
To forge the Mixed Iron Ice-Breaking Stick, a piece of Xuanming Ice Crystal is still missing, while for the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade, the Purple Lightning Horn and Thunder Swamp Divine Sand are needed...
Suddenly,
He noticed a special ’Customized Weapon’ section beyond the eighteen weapons.
[Customized Weapon: There is an endless number of weapons in the world, always some mystical gate weapons, Martial Temple divine craftsmen can make exclusive weapons according to the special requirements of the ’weapon maker.’
Customized weapon crafting requirements: The weapon maker may provide casting materials, propose requests, and submit them to the Martial Temple for evaluation to determine the maximum weapon level that can be crafted from the provided materials.
For instance, if the weapon maker provides at least three divine weapon level casting materials, after evaluation, if they meet the requirements for forging one ’ordinary divine weapon,’ they will surely receive an ordinary divine weapon level customized weapon.
Note: Customized weapons require an additional payment of ’ten thousand customization forging martial destiny.’
After seeing this section, Chen Ku.
A gentle understanding dawned in his heart:
"It seems to say that the eighteen weapons placed on the stele are all standard weapons, in some sense, they’re assembly line weapons; the divine craftsmen have become highly adept at making them, with no difficulty involved.
Whereas if one requests to forge a special weapon, there is some difficulty.
It requires... eighteen thousand plus ten thousand, nineteen thousand martial destiny forging cost?"
Upon considering this,
"Then let’s first evaluate what kind of weapon these three divine weapon level casting materials can forge."
Chen Ku placed his Earth Core Black Gold, Jiuli Armor Leaf, and Thousand-year Cold Iron Essence before the stele.
Suddenly.
In Qiu Dragon Mansion’s Martial Temple, Tang Lie, Xin Ruhai, and these old scholars also received the news:
"Chen Ku wants to customize his own divine weapon?"
They saw the application on the Gold List.
"Is he eager for his own divine weapon, or does he not want standard weapons?" Xin Ruhai asked curiously.
If it’s because he doesn’t want standard weapons, that can be understood, as most people have forged the eighteen weapons provided by the Martial Temple.
For example, Qin Yuxian’s Threshing Drum Pot Golden Hammer was crafted from one of the Martial Temple’s standard weapons.
Although at Qiu Dragon Mansion, there is only one such standard Threshing Drum Pot Golden Hammer, yet in the larger You State, or even across the entire Dragon Abyss Province, this hammer has been produced not merely as a few dozen times but possibly up to a hundred times over the past century.
Similarly, the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade and Mixed Iron Ice-Breaking Stick are also standard weapons, with hundreds of them within Dragon Abyss Province.
Some naturally talented individuals, who pursue individuality, dislike using weapons identical to others and would choose to customize their own divine weapon.
"Never mind so much, since Chen Ku made this application, let’s have Master Zhuge assess these three casting materials..." Tang Lie, ever protective of his nominal disciple, laughed heartily and said: "I shall invite the master."
Speaking of, it’s been at least three or four years that no divine weapon has been forged at Qiu Dragon Mansion.
Before long, an old man arrived at the main hall, looked at the three divine weapon casting materials Chen Ku submitted, and stroked his beard, saying:
"They’re all common divine weapon level casting materials. Only iron material, no special power or effect. If you want me to customize a divine weapon with them, I can only ensure a weapon with divine weapon level hardness is crafted, but don’t expect the ’Thunder Light’ power of the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade or the ’Frost’ aura of the Mixed Iron Ice-Breaking Stick."
As the sole divine craftsman master at Qiu Dragon Mansion, throughout the hundred years, at least over a dozen divine weapons have been born from his hands.
He can tell at a glance what effect any combination of divine weapon casting materials will have.
...
"Ordinary divine weapon? No special abilities?"
Chen Ku hesitated.
It meant the divine weapon forged from these three casting materials would be far inferior to the standard weapons like the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade.
But he also understood the reason.
His provided three casting materials lacked any special power.
"Perhaps..."
Suddenly, Chen Ku had an idea and submitted yet another item he had.
...
"Oh, Ruyi Stone? This is also divine weapon level casting material, such a large piece of Ruyi Stone being crudely melted into a famous weapon, truly a waste!"
Master Zhuge saw the fourth item Chen Ku submitted, surprisingly a three to four thousand-pound Golden Stick.
He realized Chen Ku’s intention.
Smiling, he responded:
"If we add this stick representing the ’Ruyi Stone,’ that’s four divine weapon level casting materials combined. Quality-wise alone, it can reach the ’Good’ level, equivalent in rank to the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade, and might even possess the transformation abilities of the Ruyi Stone to be large or small, hard or soft."
