After a brief assessment of the pros and cons, Kazan spoke, "Hereâs the deal: not only will I supply all the secondary materials, but Iâll also provide the rest of the main materials lacking for your gloves. You wonât have to pay a thing."
"Due to limitations, the gloves can only reach a medium quality Legendary Level at most. Unless you can find the God of Forging or a Fire Department True Immortal, nobody on your Blue Star can achieve more than this level."
"Iâll try my best to enhance this armor for you; a guaranteed top level Legendary, with Mythical Level as the upper limit. However, achieving Mythical Level is practically impossible, so donât count on it. I can ensure that it will have significant potential to be upgraded to Mythical Level."
Lu Wenwu cupped his hands, "Well then, thank you, Uncle Kazan."
"No need," Kazan waved his hand, "We each serve our own needs here; I am a demon after all!"
"Indeed, you are the Abyssal Dominator, one of the strongest Demon Kings in the Endless Abyss," Lu Wenwu replied, playing along, "So how should we proceed with the trade? Should we summon you using the Demon Summoning Array?"
"Me? I canât pass through," the King of Flame Demons pouted, "Iâll have Kashan send you a demon contract; just sign it. It allows for two-way transport."
"Mail it? A demon contract?" Lu Wenwu looked a bit stunned.
Why did this sound so strange?
The King of Flame Demons leaned back, hands behind his head, looking comfortably relaxed, "Young man, sometimes you should pay more attention to other Transcendents on Blue Star; donât always focus on just dungeons and cultivation. Broaden your perspective and open up your vision."
"So, what youâre saying is..."
"The Divine Continent postal service, mission achieved, very reliable. Except for being a bit slow, nothingâs bad about it."
"???
Wdnmd, are you sending an admission letter or what?
How come the Endless Abyss also has branches?
Wait?
The Divine Continent is so impressive; how did it nearly collapse the second time back then?
"Anything else? If not, Iâm hanging up. The signal for bases in the Abyss isnât great, and this kind of cross-border long-distance call is very expensive with Divine Continent Mobile," said the King of Flame Demons with a mildly wincing expression, "Sooner or later, Iâll figure out how to make base stations myself! I am a demon, after all! How could I make a loss-making business!"
Lu Wenwu pondered for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Could you help me unlock the seal on the small statue I took out earlier? Or can you tell me what itâs for?"
"No can do," Kazan shook his head decisively, "That thing is quite an interesting inheritance statue. According to your words, forcefully breaking it would result in undesirable cause and effect. Youâll have to solve it yourself."
Inheritance?
Who knows whatâs inside.
Since the King of Flame Demons wasnât willing to help, Lu Wenwu brought up another question, "Could you tell me why you want this vial of potion? This was my task reward from the last dungeon; for someone like you, it shouldnât be considered a precious item."
"Indeed itâs not; just a zombie king bloodline which is worth less than trash to me."
The King of Flame Demons actually answered seriously, without any sign of deceit.
"However, if it can cultivate a trace of the Blood of the Zombie God, it would be extremely valuable to me. Donât underestimate the minor difference between Zombie Kingâs Blood and Zombie Godâs Blood; what lies within is vastly different."
As for the differences and what it contains, the King of Flame Demons had no intention of explaining further.
Lu Wenwu didnât probe deeply either.
After all, this thing was just rubbish to him.
Being able to exchange it for the help of a top-notch Artifact Refining Master to recast and enhance his weapon was already very delightful.
He casually chatted a bit more with Kashan, told her his address, and then hung up the phone.
And then...
Adding points, cultivating!
The speed of Divine Continent postal service indeed wasnât very fast, even in this world, itâs the same.
It took over three months for Lu Wenwu to receive that demon contract from the Endless Abyss.
The black envelope also contained a cross-dimensional transportation channel opening permit signed by the Player Administration Bureau; in the Safe Zone covered by an Array, this is essential for opening transport.
Thanks to his precious daughterâs face, the Old Demon King was incredibly considerate.
In his previous life, Lu Wenwu had already heard of the reputation of demon contracts, so he specifically got Liu Ming to find an expert to help check it.
This cost him a 5000 Spirit Coin handling fee.
After confirming there were no issues, Lu Wenwu signed the contract using his Spiritual Power.
A light purple Hexagram Magic Array slowly appeared in mid-air, with silver-white Power of Space rippling continuously as strands of pitch-black Abyssal aura dissipated from the center of the array.
Lu Wenwu quickly placed his equipment, materials, equipment requirements, and trade items on it, watching them disappear.
The first phase of the trade was complete; now all thatâs left is waiting.
...
Forty days later.
During his cultivation break, Lu Wenwu habitually glanced at his personal panel.
