Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1303: Chapter 495: Reforging Flying Wings, Bidding for the Third Order Wolf King_2

”I’m thinking of refining a Magic Item, does the master have time recently?” Luo Chen spoke earnestly.

Hu Yan Zhuo was not surprised at all and smiled, ”It must be the Primordial Chaos Tripod!”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, the words that had reached his lips suddenly swallowed back, and he continued to talk about the ”Primordial Chaos Tripod.”

”Has your Sect refined such a Magic Item before?”

”Of course we have refined it!” Hu Yan Zhuo smiled proudly, ”Back when Qingdan Valley hadn’t moved to Yu Ding Realm, they didn’t have such rich resources of Strange Fire, and their Pill Refiners naturally came to me at Tian Fan City for making Pill Tripods.”

Luo Chen became interested, ”With such confidence, Master, you must have had successful cases?”

”Of course, although there have been many failures, we have also succeeded twice.”

”Oh! Does your Sect have any ready-made Primordial Chaos Tripods now?”

”You’re thinking of buying one directly?” Hu Yan Zhuo shook his head, ”You might be very disappointed then, Magic Items like this are extremely difficult to refine, and we generally only take custom orders, how could there be any spare ones?”

What he didn’t say was that indeed there were a few Primordial Chaos Tripods in Tian Fan City.

But none were ready-made.

Because they were already owned, used by the Pill Refiners cultivated within Tian Fan City itself.

”Honestly, the function of the Primordial Chaos Tripod is too comprehensive, hence it’s very troublesome to refine. I was inspired by this earlier and attempted to refine a Four Symbols Tripod but unfortunately failed. If you want me to refine a Primordial Chaos Tripod for you now, I really don’t have the availability, nor the absolute certainty of success.”

Hu Yan Zhuo spread his hands, ”Most likely, you will end up with both your treasures and money gone.”

Luo Chen listened with great interest.

He didn’t expect that the Four Symbols Tripod he once owned was actually made by Hu Yan Zhuo himself and wasn’t one of those fraudulently named to increase its price.

He wasn’t disappointed now, and seized the opportunity to ask a few more questions.

”Is it easy to fail, why is that?”

”The path of primordial chaos demands a balance of the Five Elements, with none of them being out of balance, naturally it’s difficult.”

”But fundamentally, the initial Natal Magic Item is only of Lower Grade level, right?”

”Well, you can’t really say that. If possible, who would want their own Natal Magic Item to be of poor quality? Moreover, the power of the Primordial Chaos Tripod depends on the upper limit of the materials added, the more you add, the more likely it’s to fail. Unless my master, True Master Tian Yezi, personally does it, we can ensure a success rate of over 60%.”

”True Master Tian Yezi!”

”Yes! My teacher is an absolute Fourth Stage Tool Casting Master, having refined a number of Ascendant Grade Magic Items and Strange Gate Magical Treasures. If he wasn’t less active these years, how would I have had room to make my name in the Six Realms.”

”Making a Magic Item involves engraving Arrays. The Arrays needed for the Primordial Chaos Tripod seem not very difficult...”

”You’re wrong there. One Array being not difficult is not important, but when you need to combine several Arrays together, it demands high mastery from the Array Master, and also very high-quality materials. How could poor materials bear so many Arrays?”

”But the materials you used for making the Four Symbols Tripod back then were very good, why...”

”How do you know I used good materials?”

”Cough cough, modestly speaking, I am the owner of that Four Symbols Tripod. It helped me a great deal during my Qi Refinement Stage.”

”I didn’t expect we had such a connection! Well, the principles inside are actually quite simple. Too good materials can also affect the performance of Arrays. Finding the perfect balance, and controlling it well, that’s the key test for the abilities of Tool Casting Crafters.”

...

Under Luo Chen’s deliberate engagement in conversation.

Before they knew it, the two of them had talked for a long time about the refining of the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Until Hu Yan Zhuo suddenly awoke.

”I’ve said that I can’t help you refine a Natal Magic Item recently; you asking more won’t free up my time.”

However.

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

”This time meeting with the master, what I actually wanted was to ask you to craft a Strange Gate Magical Treasure, not a Natal Magic Item.”

Hu Yan Zhuo was stunned.

Raising his finger, he pointed at Luo Chen and shuddered.

”Clever boy, you’ve drawn me into a long conversation. I understand now, you’re planning to take another shortcut in the refining of the Primordial Chaos Tripod, planning to cast it yourself at the time. You’ve been madly gathering experience in Primordial Chaos Tripod refining by talking here.”

Luo Chen nodded, not hiding anything.

Indeed, there are two ways to refine the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

One is the conventional method by Tool Casting Crafters.

The other, albeit rougher, is done by Golden Core Cultivators themselves, which after succeeding, matches the Magic Item more closely with its owner.

Hu Yan Zhuo shook his head, looking at Luo Chen.

”I almost forgot, you took the Prosperity and Decline Fire from the Flame Alliance; you already have a foundation to refine artifacts by yourself.”

”Alright, just be straightforward, what Magic Item do you want to refine?”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, ”Wings!”

”Hmm?”

”Strictly speaking, it’s a Magic Item Level Flying Wings. Your Sect has the richest experience in crafting these kinds of Strange Gate Magical Treasures. That’s why I could only seek help from you, Master.”

”Magic Item Level Flying Wings?”

Hu Yan Zhuo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, his right hand stroking his beard, as if considering something.

After a while.

He slowly said, ”Lay out your requirements, and let’s hear them.”

Luo Chen was overjoyed!

...

After leaving Wanbao Pavilion, Luo Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

This trip was not made in vain!

Although he had to put down a deposit of fifty thousand Spirit Stones, compared to what he had gained, it was nothing at all.
