Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 600: Entering the Banquet, His Name Begins to Spread

Su Yuan finished his repair on the Chaos Dominator Artifact and presented it to the guard. "Could you inspect it and confirm if the fix is satisfactory?"

Uncertain of how to assess such a sophisticated item, the guard immediately deferred to the young man.

At this point, the young man stepped forward, clasping his hands in greeting. "Esteemed Daoist, your artifacting prowess is truly exceptional! I am Jiang Rong, a disciple under Master Youhe. Your methods have left me thoroughly impressed. Pray, do come inside quickly!"

Su Yuan offered a slight inclination of his head and returned the flying sword to its grateful owner.

The man was ecstatic. "My sincerest thanks, Master, for your assistance! May I inquire of your honorable name? Where might I find you for future artifacting needs? In time, I aspire to commission a Chaos Dominator Artifact from you!"

A considerable crowd gathered outside the Jiaqing Restaurant, their expressions marked by keen interest.

Su Yuan glanced at the myriad of notifications appearing on the True Name Jade Disc, a subtle smile gracing his lips.

[Ding, Chaos Fame Points +1000!]

[Ding, Chaos Fame Points +10,000!]

[Ding, Chaos Fame Points +2000!]

[Ding, Chaos Fame Points +100!]

Every individual present had, to some extent, contributed Chaos Fame Points, enabling him to receive millions in a single instance. He realized that further disseminating his name would undoubtedly yield even greater accumulations of Chaos Fame Points.

"My Daoist appellation is Seven Stars. My establishment is situated at the street's end. Should you require artifacting services, you may register your request there. If the task falls within my capabilities, I can certainly craft a bespoke Chaos Dominator Artifact for you."

The man responded with evident joy, "Splendid, Master Seven Stars! Might I ask about the specific categories of Chaos Dominator Artifacts or the Great Daos you commonly specialize in?"

"It is difficult to specify exhaustively. I invite you to visit my shop later for a complete understanding of my offerings!"

"Understood, Master Seven Stars!"

Su Yuan inclueded his hands towards the surrounding onlookers. Subsequently, the young man, Jiang Rong, guided Su Yuan into the Jiaqing Restaurant.

The bystanders who remained outside, their curiosity piqued, began a lively discussion.

"What an astonishingly advanced technique for artifacting! Though I may not grasp every nuance, I can discern that his skill level far surpasses the mere tenth tier."

"My estimation places him at the fifteenth tier at the very least!"

"I am most curious about the specific types of Chaos Dominator Artifacts this Master excels at. The Chaos Great Dao I follow is rather esoteric, and I've struggled to find a suitable Artificer to forge my weapon! I must certainly visit the Seven Stars Artifacting Shop soon!"

A constant stream of chatter filled the air, with individuals relaying their thoughts through mental messages.

They diligently shared this newfound information with their relatives and friends, thus propagating the renown of Artifacting Master Seven Stars across various districts of Black Flame City.

The notifications in Su Yuan's perception transformed into an unceasing cascade.

He could feel his True Name Power steadily augmenting as his reputation spread. This increase was even more rapid than that gained through dedicated cultivation alone.

Particularly during this nascent stage of fame amplification, the substantial influx of Fame Points delivered a significant boost to his True Name Power. Su Yuan felt that overcoming the thirtieth-tier barrier would not be a protracted endeavor.

Upon crossing the threshold into the restaurant, he entered an entirely different realm.

Innumerable flame spirits meandered through the space. Vast quantities of Dominator-level materials, enveloped by these spirits, underwent continuous refinement, incrementally enhancing the purity and quality of the resources.

Jiang Rong offered a convivial explanation, "This is a themed private chamber meticulously prepared for my master, Master Youhe, within the Jiaqing Restaurant. All the materials present are of the highest caliber for artifacting. Following their use, settlement with the restaurant is required. Should the resultant artifact prove exceptional, it can be directly exchanged with the establishment. However, during this current banquet, a newly forged Chaos Dominator Artifact may be placed within the Divine Source Well to brew pure Divine Source Wine!"

Su Yuan expressed his astonishment, "So, this is the origin of Divine Source Wine."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Seven Stars was unaware? Only a freshly crafted Chaos Dominator Artifact possesses the requisite properties to be placed within the Divine Source Well for the brewing of Divine Source Wine! This particular artifact serves the Jiaqing Restaurant at its peak Dominator level. I understand this is merely a subsidiary component; the primary artifact resides at the main Jiaqing Restaurant establishment, situated at the First Frontline," Jiang Rong elaborated with a smile.

Su Yuan regarded this with wonder, truly acknowledging the boundless marvels of the world. He had previously considered the few Chaos Dominator Artifacts he possessed to be extraordinary, yet this Divine Source Well was proving to be equally remarkable.

Jiang Rong then guided Su Yuan towards the heart of this fiery domain. Arrayed on numerous cloud beds, many of the banquet's esteemed guests had already taken their places.

Su Yuan's appearance turned many heads.

The arrival of an unfamiliar face naturally drew observant eyes, particularly since Jiang Rong offered him a personal welcome. This led to fervent speculation regarding Su Yuan's potential special identity or esteemed background.

Though this was a misconception, Jiang Rong chose not to offer any clarification.

After guiding Su Yuan to a cloud bed, Jiang Rong returned to his own seat and transmitted a mental message to his master, Master Youhe, who was situated on a nearby cloud bed, detailing the recent events.

"That, in essence, is what has transpired."

Upon hearing the account, Master Youhe inclined his head towards Su Yuan and sent back a mesage with a smile, "Master Seven Stars, your presence brings me, Youhe, profound joy. Kindly wait a moment. Once all have assembled, I shall introduce you to the esteemed fellow cultivators of Black Flame City."

"My gratitude to you, Master Youhe," Su Yuan responded with a pleasant expression.

Master Youhe, adorned with white hair and a flowing white beard, exuded a gentle smile and an aura of dignified transcendence, truly embodying the image of a venerable grandmaster.

Master Youhe discreetly investigated the recent disturbance. The attempt to sow discord between himself and Su Yuan was something he found deeply disagreeable.

He soon uncovered the circumstances surrounding Su Yuan's recent activities, a flicker of surprise crossing his mind. The affordability and efficiency of Seven Stars' standard equipment had genuinely astounded him, explaining the considerable attention it garnered.

Truthfully, even he found Su Yuan's methods intriguing, though he would never stoop to such underhanded tactics himself.

Meanwhile, on a separate cloud bed, the Green Forest Recluse felt a jolt of surprise. He had not anticipated Su Yuan managing to avert conflict with the guard. Hadn't that particular guard been known for his exceptional arrogance and frequent outbursts? Why had his demeanor shifted so drastically today?

This was the most perplexing aspect for the Green Forest Recluse. His intention was to obstruct Su Yuan's path to connecting with Master Youhe, yet his plan had backfired spectacularly.

In reality, the guard had indeed been on the precipice of losing his temper. However, the unique aura emanating from Su Yuan's resolute will had a profound effect. The guard, possessing a decent discerning ability, refrained from throwing a tantrum.

Su Yuan himself remained oblivious to the guard's unusual reaction. The aura he projected was entirely natural and subconscious, inadvertently resolving a potential predicament.

Guests began to arrive for the banquet in a steady stream, the assembly swelling to over three hundred individuals.

These were the distinguished and highly respected Artifacting Masters within Black Flame City.

Ordinarily, attaining the tenth tier or higher merited the esteemed title of "Master," as the number of individuals capable of forging Chaos Dominator Artifacts was exceedingly small.

"Esteemed guests, I extend my sincerest welcome to the Golden Honor Banquet that I am hosting. The primary objective of this gathering remains the exchange of invaluable artifacting insights, followed by the mutual trading of goods and resources, effectively serving as a grand marketplace. I, your Sovereign host, shall once again preside over these proceedings. It is my sincere hope that each of you derives significant benefit from this event!"

Master Youhe offered a warm smile before directing his gaze towards Su Yuan, proclaiming, "What brings me particular delight today is the presence of a new Artifacting Master gracing this banquet. He is none other than Master Seven Stars. Let us all extend a warm welcome to his arrival!"
