Chapter 1179 – Casting Swords
After realizing Xu Chuniang’s strength, the smile on the fellow’s face became even more genuine.
“This stone a few would not be worth a few dollars, placed for too long years, does not stand, should have been replaced, the customer wants to use this heavy stone to build something?”
“Build a sword.”
Since the ascension, those previous magic weapons could not be used, she had always lacked a handy weapon.
In the past few years, in addition to collecting extremely high quality magic crystals, she had also asked Rock Light to collect quite a few heavy stones for her, enough to build a long sword.
“Sword?”
The fellow looked at the few heavy stones on the stone table and nodded pertinently.
“With the heavy stones as the main ingredient, supplemented by other materials, it’s perfectly fine to create a Heavenly Demon grade sword, and if the materials you provide are good enough, you can even create a Heavenly Demon mid-ranked, or even higher-ranked, magical weapon.”
“I didn’t prepare any other materials, only heavy stones.”
The fellow smiled and waved his hand, “It doesn’t matter, general weapon refining materials, we have them all in the store, which ones do you fancy, feel free to tell me, the price is negotiable.”
“You probably didn’t understand what I meant, I want to use heavy stones to build a sword without mixing other refining materials.”
The fellow froze and hesitantly said after a long time.
“Are you sure? A weapon made purely from heavy stone is not only expensive, but also incredibly bulky and extremely laborious to use, so think twice, customer.
There was once someone who customized a pair of stone hammers with heavy stone, and as a result, after our store’s refiner took the trouble of casting them, that guest came to pick them up, but couldn’t carry that pair of hammers at all, and in the end could only choose to re-cast them, wasting magical crystals and time …… for nothing.”
The advantage of the heavy stone was also its disadvantage, it was too bulky.
Purely with heavy stone casting out of the weapon, I’m afraid that the Demon King level powerhouse swings up, are bad enough, simply can not be used.
Hearing the fellow’s advice, Xu Chuniang was indifferent.
“You don’t have to care about these, you only need to tell me what I want, can your store cast it.”
The fellow was a bit helpless, but business that was delivered to the door was always something to be done.
“Of course it’s possible, our store is an old shop in Sand City, the craft of hammering and purifying heavy stones is also very pure, it’s just that weapons made purely from heavy stones will take quite a bit of time and the cost of making them will be very high, we’ll have to collect a seventy percent deposit first.”
“Can.”
In these six years, Xu Chuniang had gained quite a lot in Prisoner Sand Mountain, and a weapon could still be afforded.
Seeing that she agreed readily, the fellow’s heart was a lot more at ease, he was afraid that by the time the finished product was cast the customer would not be satisfied and would refuse to pay.
He took 70% of the deposit first, and when it was delivered, if she was really unwilling to pay the remaining 30% of the cost, at least she wouldn’t lose money.
“You will take out all the heavy stones that you need to use for casting, put them together, and I will estimate a price.”
Xu Chuniang looked at the broken stone table and slowly took out the rest of the heavy stones and placed them on top of it.
The stone table shattered even more completely with a “click”.
Seeing her take out more and more heavy stones, the fellows were shocked at first, but in the end, they became numb.
The Prisoner Sand Mountain was rich in heavy stones, but the price of heavy stones was not cheap, a piece the size of a pellet was worth 20,000 to 30,000 magic crystals.
With so many heavy stones, according to his rough estimation, it must be at least seven to eight million magic crystals.
To be able to purchase so many heavy stones, it seems that this guest is not only not bad, but also has strong financial resources, so it seems that he doesn’t have to worry about the remaining 30% of the cost will be reneged on.
“The heavy stones are all here, I want to build a sword that is about an inch wide and six feet long, can I do that?” The fellow swallowed hard and nodded, “Naturally I can, the duration is a bit long, it will take at least five years, can you wait?”
“Five years, so long?”
Xu Chuniang was a bit surprised, “A weapon made purely from heavy stone shouldn’t require the use of very advanced forging techniques, right?”
“Generally speaking, this is the case, but the heavy stones that you took out are simply too many, and it would take quite a bit of time just to melt and purify them, not to mention the casting afterwards.
Five years is already the fastest the small store can promise.”
“Alright, then you estimate the price.”
The fellow was cautious and didn’t make a hasty offer, but instead called in two senior refiners who would estimate the price.
After the two refiners heard Xu Chuniang’s request, their gazes traced over the heavy stone and glanced at each other, already having a prototype of the sword in their hearts.
The younger female refiner looked to Xu Chuniang and reminded her.
“According to your request, the sword cast from the heavy stone will weigh as much as three million pounds, a weight that even a Demon King powerhouse wouldn’t necessarily be able to hold, are you sure you want to cast the sword?”
“Sure, you guys help me estimate the price.”
Casting a sword with a heavy stone was an idea Xu Chuniang had when she harvested her first heavy stone.
The weight of three million pounds was truly astonishing, and even she was incapable of lifting it.
But after the sword was cast, she had her own way of using it.
Seeing that her mind was appraised, the refiner no longer tried to persuade her.
“The price of heavy stone refining is charged according to the weight, 10,000 magic crystals per 10,000 juns.
The weight of the finished product is as high as three million juns, so the cost is three million magic crystals, and the 70% deposit is two million and one hundred thousand magic crystals.”
Three million magic crystals was not a small amount, after all, an ordinary Heavenly Demon Primordial Realm Magic Weapon was sold for only 200,000 to 300,000 magic crystals.
Taking this amount of money to buy a magic weapon, one could buy quite a few of them.
Xu Chuniang heard this, but without blinking, she took out a deposit of 2.1 million magic crystals.
After receiving the deposit, the fellow handed her a list solemnly.
“After five years, you can pick up the sword by coming to the small store to make up the final payment with this voucher.”
Xu Chuniang accepted the slip, then suddenly thought of something, “If a wave of sand beasts comes and breaks through Sand City, will it affect your delivery time?”
“Don’t worry, our store is a long-established one in the North, all orders are on record, especially large orders of over a million dollars.”
The fellow patted his chest and assured, “Even if Sand City ceases to exist, as long as you bring the order to any of our store’s branches, you will be able to pick up the goods and it will never affect the delivery time.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Chuniang was quite relieved, “Aside from this heavy sword, I still have one more thing I want to build.”
Saying so, she took out the scorpion pincers she had gotten off the Sand Scorpion King.
Seeing the three feet long scorpion pincers, the fellow’s eyes went wide.
This size, this aura, if he hadn’t sensed it wrong, this scorpion pincer, I’m afraid, was taken off the Sand Scorpion King’s body!
He swept his gaze from the scorpion pincer’s break, noting the multiple traces left behind at the incision, and made a few more guesses about the origin of this scorpion pincer.
The fellow’s expression became more respectful, being able to acquire a part of the Sand Beast King’s body was a symbol of strength in itself!
“All the materials and magical weapons above the Demon King level in our store will be taken over by a special person, please wait for a moment while I go and ask for a master refiner.”
