Chapter 1689: Chapter 621: Pill and Tool Refining Hall, Treasure Embryo Complete, The Annoyance of Happiness

The Pill and Tool Refining Hall, which had not seen its forge lit for a long time, slowly opened its grand gates with a booming rumble on this day.

Luo Chen took the lead, with Tian Xuan following behind, as they stepped into the "crowded" hall.

"Master, all the materials you requested have been prepared in advance, and to avoid failure, I also arranged for the Zhang Family to supply additional backup materials."

"Hmm."

Luo Chen let out a soft response, his gaze falling on the dazzling array of materials within the hall.

There were over ten thousand pounds of Copper Essence and Iron Essence, the most commonly used First Order basic materials for artifact refining.

Second Order Flowing White Silver Tin, in its natural state, is liquid, and therefore stored in Glazed Bottles. A total of five bottles were prepared, with each bottle worth seven hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones at the current market price. However, these were purchased much earlier, during the early days of the righteous-demonic war, when the price per bottle was only five hundred and eighty stones, saving quite a bit of cost.

The majority were Second Order materials, which Luo Chen inspected one by one, finding the quality and texture to be excellent.

Then, his attention turned to the Third Order mineral materials, which he was particularly focused on.

Greenfield Girdle, though not a mineral material, is classified as a Spirit Plant. This particular material is exclusive to the depths of the sea and requires specialized personnel with professional tools to harvest underwater, which makes it quite expensive.

The inclusion of Spirit Plant among a selection of minerals has its reasons: Greenfield Girdle aged over a century possesses outstanding ductility and, when incorporated into a magic item, allows the finished product to perfectly integrate with a Ruyi Array.

The defense magic item Luo Chen intended to craft was in Armor Model—combining the heavy sturdiness of armor with the convenient flexibility of a vestment robe.

Most importantly, apart from its core defensive functions, this artifact needed to be able to adapt in size and shift seamlessly with its user.

The reasoning behind such a requirement was rooted in Luo Chen’s peak fighting strength, which was not his normal state but rather when he transformed into his Sky Roc True Body.

However, upon transforming into Sky Roc True Body, the enlarged physique certainly enhanced his attack strength but also increased his vulnerabilities a hundredfold.

During a battle against the Great Elder of Great Snow Mountain and the Lianyun Business Union in his Late Stage Foundation Establishment days, his Sky Roc True Body, unprotected, was struck by a Third Order Ten Thousand Swords Talisman. Although it did not result in severe injuries, his blood-soaked body vividly demonstrated the inadequacy of his defenses in such a transformed state.

Likewise, during the battle at Coldlight Island Mo Family Fishing Ground, when the Master of Hundred Craft Mountain commanded a treasure mountain to crush him, Luo Chen countered with immense force.

Was it his domineering fighting style?

No, it was merely the excessive vulnerabilities of his Sky Roc True Body transformation. He had no choice but to endure the clash head-on, as the colossal mountain’s attack range was unavoidable.

After that move, he was nearly drained of energy and strength, and even though he escaped thousands of miles later, he had to find a concealed place to recover and heal.

In summary, in ordinary combat, Luo Chen’s offense and defense were balanced and adaptable, though not exceptionally outstanding, he could act flexibly and instinctively.

But in his peak state, the Sky Roc True Body brought unparalleled combat power enhancement, while defensive capabilities plummeted to the extreme, leaving him to rely solely on his formidable physique to endure attacks.

Thus, the Armor he was about to craft needed to simultaneously meet the requirements of both forms.

However, the Sky Roc True Body could grow to over ten feet in size, which ordinary Ruyi Arrays could not stretch to accommodate.

This North Sea Immortal Cultivation World specialty, the Greenfield Girdle, provided an excellent solution to this problem.

At this moment, in the Pill and Tool Refining Hall, the dried, yellow Greenfield Girdle had been stacked to a height of ten feet, resembling a small mountain.

One could imagine that, in the subsequent tool casting process, when soaked in specially prepared seawater, it would expand to an astonishing size.

With such an enormous quantity of Greenfield Girdle incorporated into the magic item, its ductility would surely reach an extraordinary extent!

"Seven pounds of premium Trace Mud, sourced both from the Coldlight Island auction and contributions from the legacy of the Wu Family’s Second Child aboard the Refining Sharpedge."

"Five pieces of Fire-Avoiding Magma, with each worth thousands of Spirit Stones!"

...

As Luo Chen meticulously inventoried the materials, he also constantly simulated the upcoming tool casting procedures in his mind.

The Third Order materials were particularly critical, as they determined the artifact’s lower limits.

But clearly, the materials of higher orders dictated the upper limits of the artifact’s potential.

Under Tian Xuan’s watchful gaze, Luo Chen’s fingers lightly flicked, causing streaks of light to shoot out of his storage ring.

"Tongxuan Sky Crystal!"

"Three-Yin Thunder Extreme Wood!"

"Colorless Sinking Sea Sand!"

Chanting softly, Luo Chen listed the names of these Fourth Order mineral materials. These were not acquired through robbery but were painstakingly purchased with his savings at great expense from the Coldlight Island Feilong Auction.

To prevent failure, he had even procured multiple sets.

From this, one could see why high-order Tool Casting Crafters could earn a fortune.

The price of magic items, to high-order cultivators, was not inherently high—it was difficult for crafters to achieve considerable profit.

Only by minimizing costs to the utmost could they reap returns several-fold or even dozens of times greater.

When it came to defense magic items, which had a significantly higher failure rate, average high-order Tool Casting Crafters seldom crafted them casually. Even when they did, it was usually limited to custom orders.

And even for custom commissions, clients had to bear the costs of materials themselves, while also providing additional remuneration.

"Master, what is this?"

When Luo Chen carefully placed three objects resembling white Mountain Camellia blossoms on the table, Tian Xuan finally couldn’t hold back her inquiry.

She gazed at the three flowers, especially their petals, where silver-white electric arcs intermittently danced, causing her eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

A deep sense of unease emanated from her soul, making her aware that this material posed a natural threat to her.

Luo Chen didn’t even glance at her but spoke softly in reply.

"Thousand Years Thunder Jade."

Upon hearing the name, Tian Xuan couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
