Chapter 2904

Whether it's the Piercing Cloud Arrow or a Power Shot, this arrow can extend the attack range enormously, with an extremely high hit rate and extreme speed.

It can also stack a solid 32 attack and 16 penetration.

From a great distance it can wreck the enemy's arrow formation or vanguard, and incidentally crush their morale.

Seize the initiative outright.

A fine arrow!

Although the technique had already been unlocked, Zhao Chi didn't stop, but kept crafting.

He slowed the crafting speed to an extremely, extremely slow pace.

Almost down to one-tenth speed, and he crafted with great care.

While crafting, he had Zhuang Ya record the steps in the system.

Zhuang Ya and Zhao Chi now shared one body and one mind; whatever Zhao Chi thought, she heard it clearly, and recorded it clearly.

After 3 Speed-Talisman Charms, Zhao Chi wrote down every step.

Zhao Chi still couldn't craft a Superior-grade item, but every step had been written out clearly.

Whether it was the forging method or the points to note, everything was written clearly and in great detail, even including some personal insights.

Let those female blacksmiths memorize these steps by rote...

This is the standard answer.

Only at this point was it truly complete.

Separating from Zhuang Ya, Zhao Chi returned to Phoenix Chant Tower.

He still had to deal with Shangguan Ting later, so he had to sleep for a bit first; his current condition wasn't good, and he wouldn't be able to fight at full strength later.

Besides, letting Shangguan Ting add some more energy was also a real, practical help for battle.

Lying in bed, Zhao Chi sent a message to Yao Feng.

Zhao Chi: 【Captain, the permissions for the Wind-Chasing Arrow are already open, and there's also a Butterfly Blade one—receive them together.】

Yao Feng replied quickly: 【Eh?! Something new? That's great, I'll apply for it now, remember to click agree.】

Zhao Chi: 【Okay.】

Soon, the authorization was complete.

Zhao Chi fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke again, Shangguan Ting had already arrived.

She was lying beside him, smiling as she watched him, as beautiful as ever.

Her smile was radiant, her gaze utterly pure.

Zhao Chi's guess had been right.

Shangguan Ting had come not only with supplies, but with a cave-full of love.

Then bring it on!

Summon the lightning!

Straight to the palace gate.

Shangguan Ting's hair was full of static electricity, floating slightly.

"Eh?! Z-Zhao Chi!!"

A long time later, Shangguan Ting left, carrying over ten points of long-lasting energy.

She left behind a great deal of love and precious items.

【Supply List】

【Attribute Jade】 ×4

【Taiyi Wheel Fragment】 ×9

【Mysterious Lady Ruler Fragment】 ×43

Quite a lot.

And the quality was high too.

Yao Feng knew Zhao Chi was in a hurry, so once collection was complete she immediately sent someone to deliver them—all useful items, and since a strong escort was needed, Shangguan Ting was just right for the job.

This was only the first batch of supplies.

Many more would come later.

Yao Feng taking the field personally really gets results.

Earlier, the female craftsmen in Zhao Chi's territory had produced 900,000 monthly-wear fashion items, all of Superior or Fine grade, which had already been handed over to the White Tiger Regiment.

Yao Feng had used these fashion items to trade for these supplies on Zhao Chi's behalf.

Excellent!

He hadn't expected that besides these divine artifact fragments, there were also 4 Attribute Jades.

After all, Attribute Jades are very expensive too.

And for other lords, increasing attributes comes with a probability—the higher the attribute, the lower the probability.

Rather than hoarding them to gamble on probability, it was better to trade for more high-quality fashion items—nothing more practical than that.

Of the 9 Taiyi Wheel Fragments, he'd give 2 to Fuyao later, letting her enter puberty directly.

Tree spirits have puberty too... feels a bit weird...

But those were Fuyao's own words, so it should be fine.

With these 43 Mysterious Lady Ruler Fragments added, the total came to 104—exceeding the requirement by 4, perfect.

Then synthesize immediately!

Zhao Chi didn't have time to wash away the love-stains Shangguan Ting had left all over his body, and directly took out the Universe Cauldron Fragment.

Bronze-colored, heavy.

Activate!

A strange luster emerged.

Unlike the previous light, this light was shifting.

The colors were shifting, and so was the light's intensity.

Constantly changing, quite mesmerizing.

【Please select an operation】

【1. Select item】

【2. Synthesize】

It's really simple.

Two options, no nonsense.

Select 1, then choose the Mystic Woman Ruler fragment from the system space.

【Please enter quantity】

Of course it's 100.

Better to play it safe for the first synthesis.

After all, there's only 1 Universe Cauldron fragment right now—no time for fancy tricks.

If I mess it up, I'm done for.

【Please select an operation】

【1. Select item】

【2. Synthesize】

Other items can still be added.

It can be synthesized together with the Mystic Woman Ruler fragment.

This way, I might really be able to synthesize all kinds of strange things...

But I can't try that now.

Obediently select the second option.

Synthesize!

In an instant, that ever-shifting light froze in place.

The next moment, it erupted violently.

Like an explosion, a rain of light scattered outward.

Along with it, the 100 Mystic Woman Ruler fragments in Zhao Chi's system space all turned into shards of light.
