Su Yuan proceeded to invite three more customers one after another, handing over the items he had refined for them.
Although Su Yuan had not chosen to refine the Dominator Artifacts for these three individuals into supreme-grade items, they still reached the top-tier among high-quality goods.
All three were very grateful for Su Yuan's refinement work and each promised to recommend friends to come for refinement.
The word-of-mouth from four customers was enough to make many people's hearts stir!
Su Yuan had thought he would wait for some powerful experts, but unexpectedly, the first to approach him was the proprietress of the adjacent materials store, Wu.
"Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, I apologize for the intrusion!" Wu said apologetically.
Su Yuan smiled faintly and said, "We are cooperative partners, so naturally we should interact more. I wonder what matter brings you to me this time, Fellow Daoist?"
Wu said seriously, "I am a Second-Level Manager of the Primordial Commerce Guild. Given Fellow Daoist's exceptional artifact refinement skills, our guild has decided to increase the intensity of our cooperation with you!"
Su Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. "How so?"
"Our guild is willing to provide Fellow Daoist with refinement materials. Fellow Daoist Seven Stars only needs to place the successfully refined high-quality goods in our guild for sale. As for the proceeds from sales, our guild only requires twenty-five percent!"Wu stated this very directly.
Su Yuan smiled faintly and said, "That's the lowest bottom line the guild gave you, isn't it? You reported it directly!"
Wu's expression remained unchanged. "In business, one should naturally treat others with sincerity. As your liaison, as long as I maintain a good relationship with you, my future path of promotion will be smooth sailing. My future doesn't lie with the guild, but with you, Fellow Daoist."
Sincerity is the ultimate killer move. Su Yuan admitted he was very satisfied with Wu's choice and attitude.
Twenty-five percent meant a three-to-one split. This ratio was already very good.
Moreover, the Primordial Commerce Guild didn't impose restrictions like success rates. He could apply for materials at will. This was practically giving him money!
Su Yuan said, "I am quite satisfied with this ratio. What about the specific details?"
Wu listed out the terms provided by the Primordial Commerce Guild. The clauses were surprisingly few. Su Yuan could apply for materials almost indefinitely. He only needed to provide finished products to the Primordial Commerce Guild for sale at regular intervals. The selling price would be set by the Primordial Commerce Guild, fluctuating around market value, ensuring Su Yuan wouldn't suffer losses.
After carefully reviewing them and confirming there were no hidden pitfalls, Su Yuan decisively signed the contract.
Seeing this, Wu was extremely pleased. This way, she had facilitated the cooperation between Su Yuan and the Primordial Commerce Guild. Her position as a Third-Level Manager was secure!
Furthermore, she had also befriended Su Yuan, which would be her capital for securing her future livelihood.
"First, apply for one hundred sets of materials for refining thirty-tier Dominator Artifacts for me. Here is the list!"
Su Yuan handed the list to Wu.
Wu glanced over it and was utterly shocked. Many of the materials listed were extremely valuable. Applying for one hundred sets in one go—would the guild really approve it?
She wasn't sure, but she still reported it to the Primordial Commerce Guild immediately.
The Primordial Commerce Guild was extremely generous.
Wu had just reported Su Yuan's material list.
Merely a few breaths later, the application was approved.
Then, not long after, someone hurried over and delivered the materials to Wu.
Wu glanced at the goods within the storage treasure. Inside were a full hundred sets, comprising over nine thousand different materials. Even the lowest-valued item among them was a rare material worth one trillion Chaos Jade. Truly a grand gesture.
"Everything has been checked and tallied. Here you are!"
Wu handed all the materials over to Su Yuan.
After receiving them, Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction. "Thank you!"
Wu smiled and said, "It's what I should do. In the future, if you have any needs, just send them directly to me. I will deliver the goods immediately!"
"Good. When I finish refining the Dominator Artifacts, I'll also send them to you!" Su Yuan said with a laugh.
"No problem!"
After seeing Wu off, only then did other people come to his door requesting refinement of Dominator Artifacts.
Su Yuan refused none of them, accepting each order one by one.
In a short time, he received nine orders. After that, Su Yuan had Li Chun announce that they would temporarily stop accepting custom orders.
Those who arrived later felt immense regret. Su Yuan returned to his tranquil chamber, not immediately beginning artifact refinement. Instead, he retrieved half of his materials and fed them directly into the Tai'a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror. Under Su Yuan's guidance, the treasure mirror processed these materials, converting them into Chaos Origin and solidifying them into Dao Yan Crystals. Although the mirror could produce Chaos Jade directly, the output was minimal, making it less cost-effective than selling the raw materials. However, the resulting Dao Yan Crystals could be transformed into a substantial quantity of Chaos Jade via the [True Name Jade Disc].
"No wonder Taihao achieved comprehension up to the seventy-two-tier previously. His acquired treasures could be continuously converted into Chaos Jade for cultivation using the Tai'a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror. I wonder how he obtained this mirror?" Su Yuan was deeply curious, but this remained Taihao's private knowledge. Su Yuan had also realized that the several Dominator Artifacts bestowed upon him by Taihao were exceptionally rare, ungraded items. Before reaching the seventieth tier, these artifacts could manifest effects corresponding to one's current attainment level, a truly miraculous ability. It was evident that Taihao had stumbled upon extraordinary fortune in the past.
Su Yuan observed as a vast quantity of treasures were transformed into Dao Yan Crystals, subsequently becoming Chaos Jade through the True Name Jade Disc. This entire process spanned a full millennium. In the end, Su Yuan acquired two hundred thousand Kalpa units of Chaos Jade. Considering the market value of the raw materials was merely over 450 Kalpa units, this transformation yielded a five-hundred-fold profit, surpassing even the gains from artifact refinement. Su Yuan couldn't help but remark, "Ten thousand years of diligent toil is no match for Guiyuan combined with True-Word!"
The most remarkable artifact was undoubtedly the True-Word Jade Disc. However, as his artifact refinement skills improved, the profits from refinement would also increase, potentially surpassing the current Guiyuan process in the future. "It is time to advance my realm!" Su Yuan regarded the Chaos Jade with utmost satisfaction. His grasp of Chaos True Intent had reached the forty-fifth tier, but his physical body realm and Life-bound Chaos lagged significantly behind. What he required most was precisely this Chaos Jade. Su Yuan opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing in a massive amount of Chaos Jade that transformed into countless streams of origin energy, flooding into his body. His physical form was the first to undergo transformation. His body's composition was already exceptionally unique, consisting of innumerable True Name Stars, Chaos True Name Dao Patterns, and countless potent flesh-and-blood universes. Every fiber of his being harbored supreme mysteries. The origin power from the Chaos Jade integrated into his body, enhancing the True Name Stars and elevating the Chaos True Name Dao Patterns. Each part of his flesh and blood possessed the potential of a true Chaos, an awe-inspiring reality. Now, it was progressing towards an even more formidable physical state! Su Yuan's physical body level rapidly ascended under the immense consumption of Chaos Origin. Thirty-two-tier! Thirty-five-tier! Forty-tier! By the forty-tier mark, the consumption of Chaos Jade had already reached ten thousand Kalpa units.
