Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 431 - 283: Talents of the Sect

Woo woo~~

In the Divine Weapon Casting Hall within the Martial Temple, flames as tall as a person’s height roared. As the most elite Divine Weapon Casting Master of Qiu Dragon Mansion, Zhuge Wu’s hair and beard were already white, yet he still wore an open-chest gown, revealing the sturdy muscles beneath the garment. He looked at the four pieces of casting materials transmitted from the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth Stele, along with the 190,000 Martial Destiny and the casting requirements.

"Willful Weapon..."

Master Zhuge chuckled softly and took the iron rod crafted from the shape-shifting Ruyi Stone. After carefully scrutinizing it, he said:

"With such a large piece of Ruyi Stone, if combined with the other three Divine Weapon materials, it can indeed forge a weapon of willful transformation, appropriately named ’Willful Weapon’. Yet, the casting technique of this rod, even though it bears traces of Divine Soldiers City’s craftsmanship, is ultimately too superficial..."

While commenting on the Ruyi Golden Stick personally crafted by Er Lang, he casually tossed the iron rod into the massive flame of the furnace.

"This time I can finally earn something with 190,000 Martial Destiny."

In fact, this 190,000 Martial Destiny was not his to keep entirely. He was a Divine Weapon Casting Master hired by the Martial Temple, belonging to the Martial Temple and tasked with crafting weapons for the Martial Practitioners under its jurisdiction — that was his job.

Even so, out of this 190,000 Martial Destiny, he could keep at least half.

This is the value of a Divine Weapon Casting Master; the craft is their greatest reliance.

...

Inside the Great Success Hall of the Martial Temple.

Other veteran scholars watched as Chen Ku actually submitted 190,000 Martial Destiny, and they were all shaken.

"He actually took out 190,000 Martial Destiny?"

"He just entered the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth for merely two or three days, how did he obtain such a large amount of Martial Destiny?"

"Was it really lent to him by Qin Yuxian?"

The veteran scholars speculated endlessly about this.

"It is not impossible."

Tang Lie said softly:

"In recent days, everyone has heard; Qin Yuxian has gone missing and hasn’t returned. It is said he entrusted all the rights of the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting to Chen Ku, and now the Twelve Guardians of Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting all admire and respect Chen Ku."

"Entrusting such a large Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting to Chen Ku and giving some Martial Destiny isn’t surprising."

The others all nodded silently.

Zhao Shenyang had no suspicions.

After all, Martial Destiny in Qiu Dragon Mansion is akin to silver coin, being used for transactions.

Qin Yuxian, as the only Grandmaster in Qiu Dragon Mansion to be officially appointed by the Imperial Court’s Martial Temple, has held office in the Martial Temple for over twenty years, leaving hundreds of record-breaking achievements in the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.

Over the years, if you claim he hasn’t saved up tens of millions of Martial Destiny, no one would believe it.

"This Qin Yuxian, his insight is quite exceptional. Originally, he just went to Baojiao County to assist Tan Chongrui with reforming new policies. Unexpectedly, he discovered such a genius."

Not only Zhao Shenyang.

Other veteran scholars glanced at Tang Lie’s attitude towards Chen Ku.

They all thought to themselves:

"If I could also take in such a disciple, I might treat him just as well."

Investing in a genius is basically a trade that only gains without losing.

...

At the City God Temple in Thorny Ridge.

Chen Ku transferred the 190,000 Martial Destiny and looked at the time limit given by the Divine Weapon Casting Master under the customized Divine Weapon section:

"Short as seven or eight days, long as ten days, then I can deliver."

Looking at this delivery deadline.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief. If the fifteen days were not sufficient, he would have to prepare to extend it another fifteen days.

"Out of my 190,000 Martial Destiny, apart from the one traded with others just now, half were reaped from the demons within the Evil Summoning Banner. Now using it to forge Divine Weapons doesn’t seem to give rise to suspicion."

Chen Ku was aware that some of his Martial Destiny was gray income. To say he wasn’t worried would be untruthful, but now that it successfully spent, it meant it had been laundered.

After some contemplation, he had a faint realization of the truth:

"I guess it’s due to my connection with Senior Brother Qin, they must think my Martial Destiny came from Senior Brother Qin."

This could easily be seen during the transaction with Lv Changhong and others; the Martial Destiny transfer wasn’t difficult.

The power of Martial Destiny in Qiu Dragon Mansion, as a currency still at the ’transaction level’, meant private deals and transfers were very normal.

"Since it’s like this, I’m more at ease."

He carefully calculated the demons remaining within the Evil Summoning Banner, approximately assessing. If he converted all demons, it would be enough to restore the ’Black Soap Feather Mage Robe’ and add a pair of Divine Weapon-grade ’Protective Boots’.

At this time, Lv Changhong and others regrettably watched as Chen Ku collected the remaining Famous Weapons since they didn’t have enough Martial Destiny.

After all, the Martial Temple’s Top-Grade Famous Weapons are quality-guaranteed.

Now that Chen Ku was willing to sell to them at a 10% discount, who knows when they would get such a deal again next time.

He saw through these people’s thoughts.

Chen Ku smiled softly and said, "I can tell that you all have some interest in these things I’m holding. To be honest, we meet out of fate; I need Martial Destiny to forge a set of Divine Weapons, so if you want to purchase discounted Famous Weapons from me in the future, as long as you prepare enough Martial Destiny, I’ll always welcome you."

"Really?" Several people were somewhat excited.
