Chapter 135: The Burning Flame Gold Stone!
"Senior Brother! See you in three years!"
"Junior Brother! See you in three years!"
The two big men shook hands, their eyes filled with excitement and fervor, looking at each other with an enthusiasm that seemed even more immersive than the one felt by Nalan Yanran, the person involved.
"…" Nalan Yanran watched the two weapon-refining brothers in front of her, even more excited than she was, feeling deeply speechless. Whose bet is this, exactly?
Nalan Yanran was really tempted to shout at these two impudent guys:
Even without you two, I, Nalan Yanran, can still be invincible, suppressing all enemies!
Unfortunately, Nalan Yanran didn't have that energy right now. The two battles in the morning had already made her realize the importance of Dou Devices. At least below the Dou Zong level, the importance of Dou Devices was very significant, even if they weren't as famous as pills.
Nalan Yanran didn't feel like interacting with these two big guys anymore, so she said goodbye and quickly left. She didn't refuse Jiang Lin and Yuan Bao's offer, but she didn't agree either. It wasn't because of pride, but because she realized that her attitude wouldn't change anything. Arguing with these two impudent guys was a waste of breath.
After Jiang Lin and Yuan Bao shared a brief moment of mutual understanding, they quickly let go of each other's hands, the hand-holding action seeming slightly ambiguous.
"Let's go, let's go, continue browsing for a while. The banquet is about to start." Princess Yao Yue interrupted their awkward moment just in time, leading the two of them to another area.
Soon, the royal banquet of the Jia Ma Empire began, and all the prominent figures of the city attended. Jiang Lin and Yuan Bao didn't care much about these formalities. They just found a spot to eat something and then left early.
Not long after they left, Hulei found them and took them out of the imperial city, back to the Weapon Refiners' Guild.
"The results of their discussion are out. The three major families and the royal family will provide resources and channels, the Weapon Refiners' Guild will provide technology, and the Jia Ma Empire will provide materials. The profits will be divided as follows: the Weapon Refiners' Guild gets 40%, the royal family gets 30%, and the remaining 30% will be divided between the three major families and other families." Hulei explained as he led them back to the guild.
"I'll recall other refiners from the Jia Ma Empire soon to reach a consensus and establish some related standards. By the way, Jiang Lin, for the income from the Feather Sheath Wings, you'll get a 10% share for yourself."
So, Jiang Lin, as the founder of the Feather Sheath Wings, would get a 4% patent fee?
It seemed like an unexpected delight.
"After all, your Feather Sheath Wings are incredibly ingenious, completely overturning the world's understanding of flight."
As a Seven-Star Dou Huang, Hulei understood the secrets of flight for Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels. They view the world as a sea of Dou Qi, letting themselves swim within it.
Why can only Dou Ling hover in the air? Why does a Dou Wang begin to fly?
Because the Dou Qi Armor of a Dou Ling almost covers the whole body, enabling them to briefly stay in the air with the help of the 'Dou Qi sea.' Dou Wang can fully cover themselves with Dou Qi Armor, directly treating the sky as a sea and swimming in it—this is their way of flying.
However, Jiang Lin's Feather Sheath Wings were different. Their principle was to use powerful Dou Qi as fuel, igniting and propelling the user using a Dou Qi engine for flight. The Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings were a hybrid system, combining physical propulsion and Dou Qi propulsion simultaneously. That's why the Feather Sheath Wings always emitted brilliant flames.
Hulei believed that Jiang Lin's Feather Sheath Wings had the potential to catch up with the Tianyan Nine-Line Wings because if the Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings were further developed, they could allow Dou Wang and Dou Huang to adopt hybrid propulsion during flight. It was like a shark swimming in the sea with a rocket engine strapped to its back.
"Here, this is from the Jia Ma royal family's protector." After returning to the Weapon Refiners' Guild, Hulei threw Jiang Lin a slightly heated stone.
"The Burning Flame Gold Stone. You don't need it right now, but take it for now. If you come up with an idea later, you can use it."
The Burning Flame Gold Stone was a Seventh-Rank material with excellent high-temperature resistance. It was a fire-element treasure that could spontaneously ignite. Its downside was its resistance to high temperatures, making it very difficult to refine. Jiang Lin would either need Dou Huang-level cultivation to use the Red Dragon Cauldron of the Weapon Refiners' Guild, or use Exotic Fire to refine it. (Guess what this is for?)
Hulei could provide Jiang Lin with high-level materials in the future, but he knew how critical these materials were for a Weapon Refiner's inspiration. Giving them to Jiang Lin now meant that, through years of exposure, there might come a moment of sudden insight when Jiang Lin would create a completely new weapon.
"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Lin understood the significance of high-level materials and didn't decline. He quickly took the Burning Flame Gold Stone and thanked Hulei.
Just like how mid-level alchemists never refused to accept Sixth or Seventh-Rank spiritual herbs into their storage rings, Weapon Refiners also never refused to accept various high-level materials into their storage rings.
"You don't need to worry about the Feather Sheath Wings. Yuan Bao will handle it. As for the Black Gold Feather Sheath Wings, they'll be handled by them as well. I will also work with the Jia Ma Empire's refiners at the upcoming Weapon Refiners' conference." Hulei continued.
"Focus on resting and adjusting your mental state. In three days, I'll begin teaching you the mysteries of Xuan-level Spirit Refining." Hulei patted Jiang Lin's shoulder and sent his less-than-15-year-old apprentice, who was almost his size, into room 404.
He then looked at Yuan Bao, who had been eagerly waiting, and spoke in a bad mood, "Fama said he doesn't have any Dou Ling pills for now, but he said there are some at Gu He's place. Whether we can get them depends on your performance."
There were only two effective Xuan Ling Pills, so after Hulei got the Burning Flame Gold Stone from Jia Ma, he tried to get some benefits for his big disciple from Fama. Unfortunately, Fama didn't have the pills, but Dan King Gu He did.
"Your clever little Blood Refining Feather Sheath Wings? You can go to Gu He and show him. The Fourth-Rank Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings should be good enough for a Dou Wang. Take advantage of the rarity and trade with Gu He. But the material cost? That's on you. Damn it, I always end up paying for your free meals!" Hulei, recalling the situation, slapped Yuan Bao across the head, making him quickly run away.
At this stage, if Yuan Bao used the Fourth-Rank Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings as a bargaining chip to trade with Gu He for Dou Ling pills, the chances were quite high.
Right now, Hulei could let Yuan Bao act as an example and give Jiang Lin a complete demonstration of Spirit Refining.
