Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 646: Su Yuan's Move: Amazing Quality

The most challenging point had already been overcome. Once this commission was finished, the value derived from these two tasks would be even greater.

Su Yuan promptly moved twelve sets of materials into the artificing chamber.

Flame King materialized, striking a kneeling pose. "Greetings, Star Master!"

"Mhm, Little Flame, I'll need to utilize your power for artificing this time. Grant me control!"

Su Yuan instructed Flame King.

"As you wish, Star Master!" Flame King's gaze was alight with fervor, showing no hesitation.

As a being created by Su Yuan, he naturally followed his master's directives without question.

Su Yuan effortlessly assumed command of Flame King's foundational power, as if he himself had become a venerable 60th-tier Fire Dominator.

This approach to crafting proved to be even more fluid and adaptable than before, significantly enhancing the artificing process.

With a simple gesture from Su Yuan, the twelve sets of materials, totaling three thousand distinct components, were absorbed into the Chaos Flame.

Su Yuan divided his consciousness into three thousand separate streams, simultaneously refining every single component with precise accuracy.

Leveraging the benefits of the [Dominator of Artifacts] trait, he possessed an intimate understanding of the materials' properties. Any latent impurities or superfluous elements were meticulously purged and expunged through his careful manipulation.

These purged impurities and waste materials were then channeled by Su Yuan into the Tai'a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror, transforming into a substantial volume of Dao Yan Crystals. Subsequently, these were converted into Chaos Jade using the True Name Jade Disc, ensuring absolutely no resource was wasted.

This specific refinement stage alone was pushed by Su Yuan to its absolute peak, leaving virtually no opportunity for further enhancement.

Following the refinement, Su Yuan began the process of merging these materials. Through his precise distribution, the components coalesced into a total of twenty-four nascent weapons!

Although the client had provided sufficient materials for only twelve artifacts, Su Yuan surmised that the creation of a single Dominator Artifact did not necessitate such a quantity. By economizing, he could forge an additional artifact. While the ultimate quality might be compromised, Su Yuan remained unconcerned.

Flame King thoroughly absorbed the intricacies of Su Yuan's crafting methodology. He perceived Su Yuan's artificing as nothing short of flawless. The mastery displayed over the Great Dao of Chaos Fire was particularly enlightening, leading Flame King to feel a substantial improvement in his own combat proficiencies.

The procedure for melting and forming the nascent weapons was exceedingly intricate. The amalgamation of vast quantities of materials, the clashes of their intrinsic essences, and the conflicts between the principles of the Great Dao reached a complexity that defied easy comprehension.

It was at this juncture that the [Dominator of Will] trait proved its immense value.

[Dominator of Will] granted Su Yuan near-absolute mastery over the true essence of the Great Dao. He could orchestrate these true essences to collaborate, to meld, and even to give rise to entirely novel Dao Principles and true essences!

This particular trait was remarkably beneficial for cultivation, yet its efficacy during the artificing process was even more pronounced.

In contrast to an authentic Artificer, this represented an entirely different path of mastery.

While others merely combined materials, Su Yuan was fundamentally altering the compositional makeup of the materials at their most elementary level, a feat akin to outright cheating.

The power of Dominator traits was truly awe-inspiring!

In a mere handful of Yuan Assemblies, Su Yuan succeeded in forging all twenty-four nascent weapons.

At this stage, Su Yuan employed [Life Dominator] to imbue the twenty-four nascent weapons with genuine life!

Thus, these twenty-four nascent weapons transformed into embryonic forms of life. Life itself commenced the evolution of its own Dao Patterns derived from the Great Dao's origin. Coupled with the synergistic effect of the [Dominator of Artifacts] trait, this developmental process unfolded with exceptional smoothness.

Su Yuan provided support from the sidelines. During this phase, the entity responsible for "etching" the Dao Patterns was no longer Su Yuan himself, but the nascent weapon lives. They instinctively grew and developed in the manner best suited to their unique natures, each manifesting its own distinct characteristics.

This method of artificing precluded the creation of identical Dominator Artifacts, as each one constituted an independent life form. Though their external appearance might be similar, their internal essences were fundamentally distinct.

Throughout this undertaking, Su Yuan's grasp of the Chaos True Name Great Dao experienced a dramatic surge.

The emergence of twenty-four Dominator-level lives reaching the 49th tier bestowed upon him an immense reservoir of True Name Power.

The 48th tier was attained almost instantaneously, and then, through the steady progression of the crafting process, he achieved the 49th tier!

Not only did his comprehension advance, but his physical cultivation realm also kept pace throughout the process.

The Chaos Jade, painstakingly refined from previous impurities and discarded materials, alone accumulated a value exceeding two hundred thousand Kalpa units.

This extraordinary influx of power directly propelled Su Yuan’s physical body realm to the 49th tier, achieving this feat with remarkable ease.

Concurrently, his Life-bound Chaos also experienced an upgrade, ascending to the 45th tier. The ascent in his overall strength was undeniably swift and required minimal exertion.

The intricate process of gestating the embryonic weapons demanded a substantial duration. Su Yuan permitted these nascent creations to mature organically within the searing embrace of the flames, absorbing the very essence of the Chaos Flame.

While this method might have presented a slight compromise on the immediate quality of the artifacts, Su Yuan chose to relinquish complete oversight of their later developmental stages. Their ultimate potential, he decided, would be a testament to their own inherent growth.

Exiting the artificing chamber, Su Yuan entrusted the ongoing management of the flames to Flame King and then focused on accelerating the internal flow of time.

A century having elapsed in the external world, Su Yuan re-entered the artificing room, anticipation building.

Upon his return, he found that all twenty-four Dominator Artifacts had successfully completed their gestation period.

As he stepped inside, the twenty-four artifacts immediately surged towards him, swirling and dancing in a display of apparent affection and deep reverence. It was evident they recognized Su Yuan as their progenitor.

“Fourteen True-Grade, nine Supreme-Grade, and one High-Quality!”

His gaze fell upon the single High-Quality Dominator Artifact, a slight tremor appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Flame King’s voice emerged at that precise moment. “This particular fledgling was rather incorrigible. Even before it had properly stabilized, it was darting about within the flames. I was compelled to give it a firm admonishment, and it appears I may have been a tad too forceful, leaving it somewhat flawed!”

Su Yuan gestured dismissively. “It is perfectly acceptable. Its foundational structure remains intact. There is still potential for future growth.”

These words, though presented as words of comfort for the artifact’s benefit, carried the weight of reality. The initial quality inevitably influenced its future trajectory, capping its ultimate potential.

Su Yuan’s eyes scanned the fourteen True-Grade artifacts. He selected two of them, along with the remaining ten Dominator Artifacts, designating them for immediate dispatch.

With the selections made, Su Yuan submitted the order. The transmission costs were to be covered by the client, with an additional handling fee of 590,000 appended to the total.

A True-Grade artifact of the 49th tier commanded a price of five million Kalpa units. Qutu, this client, had undoubtedly struck an incredible bargain!

However, as Yan Feng had shrewdly surmised, for the initial one or two commissions, Su Yuan had exerted considerable effort. His primary objective was undoubtedly to establish a formidable reputation. Otherwise, he would not have needed to deploy True-Grade artifacts; he could have simply procured more raw materials and had Flame King fabricate them.

“Thinking about it, this approach is indeed a pathway to renown. If I were to consistently produce True-Grade items with every crafting session, it would undoubtedly draw countless admirers… Perhaps it is better to maintain a degree of discretion. I shall ensure that one out of every three or four orders yields a True-Grade artifact. The additional True-Grade items I shall retain for my own personal profit.”

A soft chuckle escaped Su Yuan’s lips.

Meanwhile, at the Second Frontline of operations.

Qi Bai, Qutu, and Yan Feng found themselves reunited.

It was Qutu who had summoned them, his demeanor radiating an overwhelming mix of shock and exhilaration.

“It is complete! The crafting is finished!” Qutu exclaimed, addressing the other two.

“That was remarkably swift?” Qi Bai responded, a touch of surprise in his voice.

“Indeed! Master Seven Stars has concluded the crafting process and already listed it on the marketplace. All that remains is for me to settle the handling fee and the transmission processing charges, after which I shall be able to take possession of all the Dominator Artifacts!”

Qutu’s expression was one of profound excitement.

“Then make haste! Settle the fees and bring them out for us to examine immediately!” Yan Feng urged, his own curiosity piqued.

Qutu’s face instantly adopted a sheepish expression, hinting at an unforeseen complication.
