Chapter 322: Focused Treasure Cultivation

"To commission the forging of an Ultimate Treasure you must provide the required materials, or exchange equivalent materials. As for exchanging Treasures, you can use Treasure exchange, for example nine ordinary Ultimate Treasures for one High-level Treasure. This is the rough list," the Human Race Seal King explained.

A screen materialized before the Alien Tribe Universe Overlord, listing various High-level Treasures and Top-level Treasures, a full hundred items. Each Treasure's price differed.

Converted, a High-level Treasure Weapon costs between 18 and 60 Treasure Points, while a High-level Treasure Armor requires between 24 and 120 Treasure Points.

As for High-level Domain Treasure and High-level Flying Palace Treasure, they are even more expensive, a bit pricier than ordinary Top-level Treasures.

There are none of the High-level Soul-type Treasures.

For example, the price of a Top-level Treasure Armor is roughly equivalent to the value of nine High-level Treasure Armors.

"Hmm, this price is decent, cheaper than me exchanging directly," the Alien Tribe Universe Overlord thought to himself, and then he turned his gaze back to the forging of the Ultimate Treasure.

Overall, commissioning the forging of an Ultimate Treasure is about 10% more expensive than direct exchange, since forged artifacts are custom-made, whereas exchanged Treasures are mass‑produced and their abilities cannot be altered.

These Alien Tribe elites pay double the exchange value for Ultimate Treasures compared to Human Race insiders, which is still relatively merciful on the part of the Human Race.

The Demon Race Alliance and Insect Race Alliance treat these Alien Tribe even harsher, with price hikes of 200% and 300% respectively.

"I will commission the forging of a High-level Flying Palace Treasure (type)." The Alien Tribe Universe Overlord decided instantly.

"Please follow me; our Deputy Hall Master will sign an agreement with you," the Human Race Seal King said, bowing.

He then led the Alien Tribe Universe Overlord to a quiet chamber.

"Please come in! Our Hall Master is waiting inside!" the Human Race Seal King said.

When the quiet chamber door opened, the Alien Tribe Universe Overlord entered and exclaimed, "Qian Wu, how did you become Deputy Hall Master?"

"Venerable Huang Mu Lang," Venerable Qian Wu, Deputy Hall Master of the Treasure Hall, said warmly, "Please have a seat."

Venerable Huang Mu Lang walked over and sat opposite Venerable Qian Wu.

"Qian Wu, you have found a patron, huh!" Venerable Huang Mu Lang surveyed Venerable Qian Wu from head to toe.

"Ha ha, thanks to the Palace Lord's favor, I can serve here as Deputy Hall Master," Venerable Qian Wu laughed, his face no longer bearing the previous worry.

"I am truly fortunate; I once aided the Creator Lord when he was still young and weak, and now I reap such a reward," Venerable Qian Wu thought happily.

Earlier, when Xiao Yu approached Venerable Qian Wu to hire him, Qian Wu was skeptical, but when Xiao Yu offered to pay him 1 Treasure Point per hundred epochs as compensation, Qian Wu became instantly excited.

Life now held hope.

"When will you repay the 600 Heavy Treasure Points I am owed?" Venerable Huang Mu Lang suddenly asked.

"I'll repay you immediately," Venerable Qian Wu said confidently.

Xiao Yu has already paid him 10 Treasure Points; he has repaid the Treasure Points he owed to his clan, and the 2.1 Treasure Points owed to six friends will also be gradually returned.

Immediately, a screen appeared before Venerable Huang Mu Lang, showing that Qian Wu had transferred 600 Heavy Treasure Points to him.

"Venerable Huang Mu Lang, you aren't here just to chase the debt, are you?" Venerable Qian Wu said.

"I originally intended to commission the forging of a High-level Flying Palace Treasure," Venerable Huang Mu Lang said.

"Do you have any requirements for this Treasure? Are there any particular secret techniques you are familiar with?" Qian Wu asked, "Rest assured, this place is backed by the Virtual Universe System, so confidentiality is guaranteed."

……

Within the Space-time Plane shrouded by Hun Dun currents, inside a massive divine temple.

Xiao Yu sat on the throne, thinking, "The cost of opening a shop in the Hongmeng Alliance is really high! Luckily I'm in the violent monopoly industry. Previously, I donated the High-level Treasure Weapon Mind-force Weapon 'Fan Tian Seal' to the clan and received 30 Treasure Points; Qian Wu alone gave 10 Treasure Points, hiring Venerable Feng Gu also cost 10 Treasure Points, and the remaining 10 Treasure Points went entirely to rent; 10,000 epochs for 10 Treasure Points, not expensive."

Suddenly, a figure materialized out of thin air before the temple.

Xiao Yu instantly brightened and said, "Qian Wu, what's the matter?"

"Palace Lord, the Treasure Hall has received 36 High-level Treasure forging commissions in one month, plus one Top-level Treasure commission," Venerable Qian Wu said respectfully.

Xiao Yu looked down at the respectful Qian Wu, feeling deeply moved; in less than a hundred thousand years, the two of them had already altered their positions.

"Hmm, well done. Anything else? If not, you may leave," Xiao Yu said casually.

"Thank you, Palace Lord," Venerable Qian Wu said sincerely, then after a respectful bow, departed.

Now Xiao Yu has become Lord of the Universe; many Human Race Universe Venerables are still unaware, only a few know.

Like Gui Yi Zunzhe.

After Qian Wu left, shortly thereafter Gui Yi Zunzhe came to visit.

Xiao Yu lifted the Permission, allowing Gui Yi Zunzhe to enter.

Swish!

Gui Yi Zunzhe materialized outside the temple, about to bow, but was stopped by Xiao Yu, who suddenly appeared beside him.

"Senior brother, that won't do!" Xiao Yu laughed, "You're my senior brother; how can you bow to me?"

"Alright," Gui Yi Zunzhe smiled, "This time I have come to commission my junior brother to forge a Top-level Flying Palace Treasure (type)."

"No problem," Xiao Yu replied outright.

Later Xiao Yu chatted with Gui Yi Zunzhe, and soon the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Desolate Inspection, and others arrived, all seeking commissions to forge Ultimate Treasures—most for Top-level Treasures, while the Lord of Desolate Inspection, who has a clan and disciples, also required ordinary to High-level Treasures.

Not only the Human Race Lords of the Universe came, but also the Alien Tribe Lords of the Universe within the Hongmeng Alliance arrived after hearing rumors.

Xiao Yu accepted commissions from various Human Race Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords within the Human Race as well.

Over ten years, Xiao Yu received all the materials for the artifacts he was commissioned to forge.

"Usually it's not obvious, but now it's over 8,000 Ultimate Treasures being forged at once," Xiao Yu thought, still quite surprised.

Having taken on the forging of over 8,000 Ultimate Treasures at once, Xiao Yu's Human True Body returned to the Divine Kingdom, forging together with those fifty Divine Avatars.

Given Xiao Yu's current treasure‑cultivation speed, forging an ordinary Ultimate Treasure takes only half a year, a High-level Treasure five to ten years, and a Top-level Treasure twenty to fifty years.

The heavy forging tasks caused the Human True Body to immediately join the treasure‑cultivation ranks.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The repeated sounds of hammering Ultimate Treasures echoed far from the treasure‑cultivation site in the Flame Valley of the Divine Kingdom.

"The Five-Fire Bottle is ready; evaluate it," Xiao Yu said; after each Ultimate Treasure is forged, he has a Divine Avatar test its performance for compliance.

Each Ultimate Treasure was forged, and after passing evaluation, placed into individual World Rings.

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye ten thousand years had passed.

"For ten thousand years I have forged ten thousand ultimate treasures, and there are nearly twenty thousand heavy treasures besides—it could exhaust me!" Xiao Yu sighed.

The reason there are ten thousand ultimate treasures is that during this period Xiao Yu kept accepting treasure‑forging missions, though the volume is no longer as explosively high as at the start.

This time, in treasure forging, Xiao Yu gathered enough materials to craft 2000 top‑level supreme treasure weapons.

Xiao Yu then put away the World Ring holding the ultimate treasures, left the Divine Kingdom, and thereafter the amount of treasure forging dropped sharply, so he no longer needed to personally oversee it.
