Chapter 175: Chapter 154 Collecting (Makeup for missed update 4)

"Yes, Zhong, I’m preparing for the big fifth-year internship and want to forge an alloy weapon. I need many metal samples. When it comes to metallurgy, especially alloys, Holy Armor University is second to none. So, I need your help to send some samples over first, to get me acquainted..."

Fang Xing spoke directly.

He owed his life to Zhong Yuxiu back then, so he had no qualms asking.

"No problem... I’ll cover the shipping!"

Zhong Yuxiu’s eyes crinkled into crescent moons, "And regarding the cosmic-special metals in the treasure vault, I can send you an overview..."

This was subject to credit restrictions; even with all her wealth, she could only offer an overview.

She glanced at Fang Xing and then at her unfinished Mecha, feeling a twinge of regret, "You’ve decided to go to the Secret Realm Battlefield? Why not consider the Main Universe Fortress instead... We could take on missions together when the time comes. I’m quite strong now, you know."

Of course, Fang Xing was well aware.

When it came to destructive power, Martial Artists simply couldn’t compare to Mecha Masters.

Especially someone as financially capable as Zhong Yuxiu.

"No, most interns will definitely choose the Secret Realm Battlefield... The danger there is controllable, whereas the Main Universe Fortress either has no incidents or major crises."

Fang Xing shook his head, "After all, as a Martial Artist, I need to test what I’ve learned on the battlefield."

Now that his Divine Skills were accomplished, the limited-risk Secret Realm was almost like a backyard to Fang Xing.

"That’s too bad, then..."

Zhong Yuxiu shut off the communication, looking at her Mecha with a touch of melancholy.

Having finally a chance to show off her financial strength without an audience, what was she to do?

...

Cultivation World.

Golden Yuan Peak.

This peak was where Fang Xing’s cave mansion, bestowed upon the True Disciples, was located.

In addition to pavilions and the Jade Palace, hundreds of acres of Third Rank Spirit Fields had been opened.

Just these Spirit Fields alone were an incredible fortune for any Cultivator.

Moreover, Fang Xing didn’t need to worry about them; each day, Spirit Plant Cultivators from the Outer Hall tended to them.

As a True Sword Child, Fang Xing had only one thing to do: cultivate!

After making his rounds and feeling highly satisfied, he returned to his cave mansion, closed the door, and activated the Array and Prohibition.

The Quasi Third Rank Array he had set up with knowledge from the Myriad Beasts Sect in his cave could not unleash its full power but was quite impressive nonetheless.

At the very least, it was sufficient to block outside probing.

"Sword embryo... Outer Elixir..."

Inside the closed-door chamber, Fang Xing quietly recalled the contents of the "Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture," as a silver light flashed before him and his avatar appeared.

With a flick of the Bronze Ancient Ring on his finger, numerous metal ingots were summoned forth.

The Cultivation Avatar’s expression turned solemn as he used his newly mastered sensory technique to touch the different alloys.

"This won’t do... Although its hardness is comparable to Third Rank metal, it has no effect on the conduction of Spiritual Energy..."

"This alloy... might be comparable to Top Grade Third Rank, and there’s even a slight resistance to Spiritual Energy circulation? Not bad, I can record this for later to craft into a ’Break Magic’ attribute Magic Artifact?"

This sensory technique from the Sword Manual enabled him to find the most suitable sword forging materials for himself.

With Zhong Yuxiu’s help, and by searching on his own, Fang Xing had managed to get samples of most high-ranking metals available on the market.

Naturally, these were all producible metals.

The singular treasures of the universe were not included.

Even so, after sensing each metal, the Cultivation Avatar still picked out several that seemed suitable for forging a Flying Sword.

"Nelan Alloy? This is the most suitable..."

In Fang Xing’s hand was a piece of metal the size of a fingertip, which, despite its modest size, was quite heavy.

"According to its description and properties, it somewhat resembles the ’Gold Essence Iron Mother’ recorded in Cultivator’s texts..."

"Apart from this, these few alloys can be purchased in bulk and then purified with Foundation Establishment True Fire... The auxiliary materials for my Lifebound Spirit Sword will be complete."

These metal ingots could be purchased on the open market; as long as one was willing to spend Star Coins, it wasn’t a problem.

"Next is the main material..."

"I didn’t expect to be so lucky."

Fang Xing projected an image, and a handful of blue sand that resembled tiny stars appeared before him, shining with a metallic luster.

"Tianxuan Star Sand!"

This was the name given in the "Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture." It was said to originate from the Nine Heavens, created only when terrifying Gang winds collide and shatter the essence of countless ores in the Void, sometimes producing a few grains. Cultivators had to be incredibly fortunate to obtain it.

There was such a sample in the treasure vault of Blue Star University, said to be found during an expedition to the Cosmic Secret Realm. Its nature was extremely hard and could be used to forge alloy weapons or Mech Core components.

"What a waste of heavenly materials... If the Supreme Elder saw this, his eyes would turn red with envy."

Tianxuan Star Sand was one of the best materials for forging the array "Purple Star Sword Manual" and could not be classified by Third or Fourth Rank—it was a rare treasure of heaven and earth!

Had Chu Kuangtu used this material to forge a sword embryo back then, there might have been a chance to upgrade his Lifebound Flying Sword to Fifth Rank.

The gates to Divinity Transformation could even be opened by it!

"A Flying Sword forged from Tianxuan Star Sand would also be suitable for cultivating the Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Qi... After all, the ’Purple Star Sword Manual’ derives from the ’Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture’..."

"With this, only the issue of credits remains."
