Chapter 2938

"Add in the assets the four of us regiment commanders have on hand, and only when you total everything up does it reach this much.

"What you saw was a day and a half, but in reality that day and a half is almost the finish line.

"There will definitely be more later, but the quantity will surely be far less.

"If you want to synthesize more Tai Yi Wheel fragments, it's not realistic. Use what you can now, don't hold back."

Zhao Chi nodded.

Indeed, that's how it is.

Yao Feng had previously used premium fashion as trade goods, letting those nobles and legion commanders exchange as much as possible.

Moreover, if what they offered was materials on Zhao Chi's demand list, they'd get an extra ten percent discount.

Those nobles and legion commanders would of course rush to exchange immediately.

Whether nobles or those legion commanders, none of them are ordinary folk.

Those nobles who want to become clan heads and inherit titles must have risen through fierce competition; neither their strength nor their wits would be lacking.

Those legion commanders are even more so — they all run small legions, and the fact they've held on until now says everything.

One could say every single one of them is top-tier talent.

They certainly know this kind of opportunity is rare, and they'll seize it — their ability to act is extremely strong.

So really, a day and a half is more than enough.

Yao Feng's earlier move of holding back the premium and fine-grade goods looks very wise now — this way, premium and fine-grade fashion are extremely attractive to the nobles and those legion commanders, and Yao Feng's bargaining chips are amplified.

After all, the attribute difference between premium-grade and standard-grade is a full one hundred percent — that kind of boost is literally worlds apart. They'd definitely exchange for premium-grade fashion whenever they can.

"Understood." Zhao Chi nodded.

Yao Feng continued: "Didn't you also raise a giant beast? Use it when you should. Before the war, you must get the giant beast into its mature stage… no, into its complete form. With this many Tai Yi Wheel fragments, it's more than enough."

"Complete form?"

"Yes. A mature-stage magical beast can already wield its full strength, but if it's in complete form, of course it'll be even stronger. Now isn't the time to be stingy — before the great battle, you must go all out."

So there's a complete form after the mature stage…

Zhao Chi had assumed that after maturity came middle age, then old age.

Looks like giant beasts and ordinary magical beasts don't follow the same rules.

Yao Feng guessed Zhao Chi had raised a giant beast, but didn't know his was a Tree of Eternity.

Nor did she know his Tree of Eternity was a mutated variant.

So these twenty-seven Tai Yi Wheel fragments could only bring the Tree of Eternity to maturity; advancing it to the next complete-form stage was simply impossible.

However…

Are there other stages after complete form?

Gotta ask!

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Understood, Commander, but… are there new stages after complete form? Like an ultimate form or something?"

"Ultimate form? What ultimate form?" Yao Feng clearly hadn't heard the term: "Where did you hear all this? And the Eternal Bloodline you just asked me about — what's that about?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "Just rumors, so I wanted to ask if there's any truth to it."

Yao Feng shook her head: "Don't listen to rumors. Plenty of rumors are made up by slaves — some even have a complete logical chain, but they're completely made up."

"Made up by slaves?"

Yao Feng nodded: "Right. Plenty of slaves, to avoid death or to find a chance to escape, will use lies to stall for time. After all, a lord needs time to verify, especially when they make up lies about other cities — that makes it even harder to check. Lots of rumors spread just like that. You don't need to believe their nonsense."

"Understood. There are this many Mystic Maiden Ruler fragments this time too? I don't have such a big use for them right now. If you need them, Commander, you can take some."

Yao Feng gave Zhao Chi a strange look.

Then she frowned: "Why?"

Zhao Chi also said, puzzled: "I've already reset my territory's buildings, and I don't need to reset fashion or equipment for now. Even if I did, I wouldn't need this many. What I mean is, if you need them, you can take a small amount."

Yao Feng's delicate brows still hadn't relaxed.

She said, perplexed: "Your territory buildings are done, but you haven't fused your new fashion yet. You want this many new fashion blueprints — isn't it for fusing?"

Zhao Chi was stunned.

How is there such a thing?

What fashion fusion?

Never heard of it.

But… but it sounds pretty badass?

Yao Feng looked at Zhao Chi's expression, then sighed: "Seeing you like this, you really don't know?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Could you explain it to me?"

Yao Feng checked the time, then smiled: "Alright, a few minutes left. I'm really teaching the big one and the little one — taught Xiaoyu and Tingting before, now teaching you."

"Thank you, Instructor."

Yao Feng smiled: "You're welcome. A few days ago when you used the Mystic Maiden Ruler remnant, did you use it directly on your territory?"

"Yes."

"It can switch targets. Next time you activate it, you can use it on fashion like before — you can fuse different fashion pieces of the same slot, which is essentially stacking attributes. But it can only stack different effects. Your fashion is already this strong; fusing new fashion will only make it stronger. You really didn't know?"

Zhao Chi truly didn't know about this.

Last time he did see the option to use it on fashion.

He tapped in to look too, but the interface was no different from the one after activating a Mystic Maiden Ruler fragment.

Zhao Chi had assumed it was the same effect as the Mystic Maiden Ruler fragment — merely resetting fashion.

He'd even gotten nervous for a moment, afraid he'd tapped the wrong thing.

After all, that was a Mystic Maiden Ruler remnant — if he'd used a remnant like a fragment, that would have been a huge loss.
