Chapter 84: Qualifications and Conditions
Initially, Lian Yun thought that Qian Duoduo might feel regret, but to his surprise, Qian Duoduo displayed a look of shock. Instead of expressing any regret, Qian Duoduo's face lit up with excitement as he asked, "May I ask if the task Young Master Bai has taken on is from Master Mo?"
Lian Yun nodded, still puzzled.
Qian Duoduo became even more animated, his corpulent body trembling with enthusiasm, yet he wore a beaming smile as he explained, "What Young Master Bai may not know is that Master Mo's Forging Technique tasks are divided into three levels. The lowest level involves forging a single Supreme piece of equipment, followed by ten pieces, and the highest level requires a hundred pieces—those are the top-tier tasks."
"Although we do not know how many outsiders have received Master Mo's top-tier tasks, judging by the Soul Gear used by the masters from the Four Great Cities, it has been less than a handful over the past century. I never expected Young Master Bai to possess such remarkable talent to be able to take on a top-tier task from Master Mo."
As he spoke, Qian Duoduo rubbed his hands together, seemingly contemplating some wonderful opportunity.
Lian Yun was initially taken aback; he hadn't realized that his daunting task was so rare. The mention of only a handful of people being tasked with submitting a hundred Supreme pieces indicated that there were likely no more than five individuals who had received such an assignment.
He was astonished to recall how casually Master Mo had given him this task, which turned out to be incredibly hard to come by.
Observing Qian Duoduo's expression, Lian Yun smiled and said, "In the future, any Soul Gear I forge for practice will naturally be entrusted to the Treasure Alliance for sale."
However, Qian Duoduo shook his head vigorously and replied, "Young Master Bai may not realize that Master Mo's top-tier Soul Gear Forging Technique possesses extraordinary capabilities. One crucial aspect is the chance to create items that can evolve on their own. Although the probability is low, regardless of their grade, they can fetch a good price."
"How about this: Young Master Bai can practice forging Soul Gear using Soul Material while we at the Treasure Alliance take full responsibility. All we need from Young Master Bai are three—no, five—pieces of equipment that possess the ability to evolve on their own. What do you think?"
With that, Qian Duoduo looked at Lian Yun with eager anticipation.
Yet Lian Yun fell silent.
Three pieces did not seem excessive at all; however, it highlighted just how rare the ability to evolve on its own truly was.
To be honest, if he were to successfully create Soul Gear with such an ability, Lian Yun would want to keep them for himself and had no intention of selling them at all.
Qian Duoduo naturally understood the rarity of advancing one's Soul Gear, so he stepped forward, leaned down, and sincerely said, "I hope Young Master Bai can forgive me. To be honest, although Young Master Bai is exceptionally talented and unparalleled in the world, given your current achievements, there is indeed a disparity in status when it comes to discussing business with our master."
As he spoke, Qian Duoduo carefully observed Lian Yun's expression.
Lian Yun understood this as well and showed no displeasure; he merely nodded lightly in agreement with Qian Duoduo's words.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo felt a bit relieved and continued, "However, if Young Master Bai can learn Master Mo's top-notch Soul Gear forging techniques, then you would qualify to discuss business with our master. Moreover, from my perspective, if our master were to set conditions, it would likely require a certain number of self-advancing Soul Gears."
"One must understand that while Supreme Soul Equipment is rare, it still has a certain output. However, Supreme Soul Equipment is only suitable for a Peerless Monarch at most. In contrast, self-advancing Soul Gear has the potential to reach levels suitable for Demigod-level experts."
"Additionally, while Young Master Bai may not lack wealth at present, this is also a crucial period for your strength to increase. Purchasing Soul Material independently requires considerable funds, which might slow down your growth."
"And I will not impose a deadline on Young Master Bai; I only ask for a promise that you will provide our Treasure Alliance with three self-advancing Soul Gears. As for when you deliver them, you can decide that yourself."
Such conditions would allow Lian Yun to delay for several decades if he wished.
However, on one hand, Qian Duoduo recognized Lian Yun's character; on the other hand, he suspected that the equipment he wanted was likely not for auction but rather for his own master—the Demigod Expert. Therefore, he was willing to wait longer.
Yet Lian Yun was not someone who would procrastinate; once he agreed, he would complete it as soon as possible. Unless it was something particularly suited to him, he might even prioritize giving the first three forged self-advancing Soul Gears to the Treasure Alliance.
However, the issue of growth was critical for Qian Duoduo.
Although he had broadened his mindset and become much calmer over the years, returning to the Huaxia Alliance within three years to celebrate his grandmother's birthday was a promise he had made—a task he must fulfill.
After a moment of silence, Lian Yun said, "How about this: I will use materials provided by the Treasure Alliance for my current Forging Technique practice. During my learning period, any equipment produced will be handled by Qian the Shopkeeper. As for how much profit the Treasure Alliance needs, Qian the Shopkeeper can decide that independently; I will make up for it."
"The Soul Gear aspect can also be sold by the Treasure Alliance. Unless it is extremely suitable for me personally, I will prioritize providing Qian the Shopkeeper with three self-advancing Soul Gears first. What do you think about this arrangement?"
"Good! Let it be as Young Master Bai has said."
Qian Duoduo immediately agreed, but reluctantly returned ten thousand Diamond Spirit Coins to Lian Yun.
Although Diamond Spirit Coins were not as difficult to obtain as Mental Potions, their production was still limited. For the Treasure Alliance, if the quantity was large enough, they might be willing to exchange a Diamond Spirit Coin for two hundred thousand White Spirit Coins, provided that the exchanged Diamond Spirit Coin was meant for that Half Emperor's use.
While Lian Yun still had twenty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins on hand, it was precisely because these coins were rare that such conditions were proposed.
Additionally, although some self-advancing equipment could be used by Ghost Slaves if one didn't need them, there would always be some inconvenience if they weren't custom-made. By negotiating these terms with Qian Duoduo, Lian Yun hoped to gain favor with that Demigod Expert, thereby increasing the chances of trading for the Yin-Yang Stage.
Overall, completing this transaction with Qian Duoduo seemed to promise significant benefits for the Treasure Alliance, but Lian Yun also had nothing to lose.
With this agreement in place, everyone was pleased.
Qian Duoduo then promptly sent over general Forging Materials from the guild to Lian Yun and also collected from the other three avatars.
On one hand, Lian Yun didn’t need that many materials at once; on the other hand, the Treasure Alliance needed to maintain good relations with others, so it was impossible to hand over all the materials to Lian Yun.
Naturally, Lian Yun had no objections. Under Qian Duoduo's surprised and envious gaze, after receiving thousands of cubic meters of ore, he headed straight to the Treasure Shop and began forging equipment like a madman.
