However, standing next to Jiang Lingfu, Chu Xiuâs heart was stirred.
An "Ascension Sequence"?
Doesnât he have one?
And itâs not a low-tier one!
Back during the Fierce Tier trial, he had stumbled upon this item, but he couldnât find any related information online. Because he couldnât ascertain its value, he hadnât mentioned it to anyone, let alone traded it.
But now, it seems, just as he had suspected, even Heroic Spirits are highly interested in it!
Originally, Chu Xiu planned to trade it for Forbidden Objects, but thinking about it now, not many would dare to purchase Forbidden Objects. This item seemed better suited for trading at this moment.
As he pondered this, the group of Heroic Spirits began discussing the items they wanted to obtain. Some were after SS-level high-tier professions, others bizarre and rare artifacts like the Gender Transformation Potion, Dragon Transformation Pill, Tentacle Fusion Agent, and so on, which left Chu Xiu wide-eyed.
When it was his turn, Chu Xiu straightforwardly stated his goal for the visit: "I need the Red Dragon True Flame, Geng Metal Meteorite Iron, Shadow Core, or similar materials, along with items containing a large amount of life energy."
These four items, the first three in particular, are necessary materials for the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array, Four Symbols Yin Yang Furnace, and crafting mythical-level equipment.
In the previous public auction, Chu Xiu had already spent nearly a hundred billion to gather the materials needed for the three legendary equipment blueprints. For the mythical equipment blueprint, only the most important and expensive main material was left.
Once these three items are collected, Chu Xiu can manufacture all the equipment from the blueprints in one go.
As for the last item, itâs naturally prepared for the Blood Demon Incarnation. Once its state is fully restored, it will be formidable combat power.
But after hearing his description, the Heroic Spirits were quite surprised.
"Brother Qin, could it be that youâre also an Artifact Refiner?"
"I have dabbled a little," Chu Xiu replied.
Hearing his admission, everyoneâs expressions changed again, with many looking at Chu Xiu with even more enthusiasm.
Artifact refining, array formation, alchemy, and other support professions usually hold higher status and importance than same-tier combat professions. The bigger the family, the more they emphasize support professions.
A Heroic Spirit-level Artifact Refinerâsuch talent is what countless great families dream of but cannot attain!
Only organizations at the level of the four great families might possess such talent.
Immediately, the Heroic Spirits began inquiring, wanting to know if their families had such materials to foster goodwill with Chu Xiu.
But soon, most of the Heroic Spirits frowned.
"Brother Qin, what exactly are you planning to make? Iâve never even heard of these materials."
Some did take out a few similar materials, but after Chu Xiu examined them, he shook his head silently.
This left him a bit helpless. Currently, the discovered immortal cultivation worlds are too few, and the cultivation professions arenât valued, naturally leading to a severe shortage of cultivation materials on the market, none of which even the treasuries of the four great families have.
But this is reasonable; Righteous Dao cultivators with low-level cultivation techniques do not have an advantage in terms of upgrade speed or early-stage combat power compared to other professions and furthermore, they consume a lot of resources.
As for advanced cultivation profession inheritances, they are exceedingly rareâChu Xiu even suspects he might be the only one on Blue Star.
The most talented cultivation profession he has heard of practices A-level cultivation techniques.
This has resulted in a severe shortage of resources related to the cultivation domain.
At lower levels, itâs not so badâthere are so many materials that one can always pick substitutes, but at higher tiers, finding materials with similar effects becomes much harder.
However, just as Chu Xiu was a bit disappointed, Zhao Jie suddenly spoke up: "Senior Qin, do you need this item?"
He sent over an itemâs information.
[Yellow Springs Nether Fire: Heroic Spirit Legend, a flame capable of corroding everything, usable in refining special artifacts.]
"Hmm?"
Chu Xiuâs eyes lit up; after carefully comparing it with the inheritance in his mind, he was delighted to find this material could actually replace Red Dragon True Flame! And it was even better than he had expected!
Originally, his goal was to refine the fourth-grade Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array, but with this item, in combination with Perfect Refining, he might even produce an upper three grades one!
Suppressing his excitement, Chu Xiu said: "This item is indeed what I need. I wonder what Brother Zhao would like in exchange?"
Zhao Jie paused for a moment before honestly saying, "Senior Qin, Iâll be blunt. This item is recorded as a material on one of our familyâs Mythical Equipment Blueprints. We only need another main material to complete the set."
"A piece of mythical equipment is very precious, as Brother Qin surely knows, so the price for this item wonât be low."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuâs heart sank, knowing that with mythical equipment involved, the Zhao family would surely demand a high price.
But there was no help for itâmaterials of this caliber have so many uses that itâs almost impossible for only Chu Xiu to need them, giving him a bargain opportunity.
"You may as well name your price."
Zhao Jie said, "I need a Heroic Spirit-level legendary equipment capable of withstanding mental attacks."
Chu Xiu fell silent at this request.
Such an item he does have, but the issue is, itâs not legendary-tier but mythical-tier!
Of course, Zhao Jie couldnât know this; seeing Chu Xiuâs look of difficulty, he assumed Chu Xiu didnât possess such an item and consoled him, saying, "Senior, donât lose heart. Perhaps in the future, someone else will have what you need."
