Chapter 2393 w.a.n.g Teng"s Choice, Three Treasures! (2)
Suddenly, a dazzling crimson-gold light burst forth, overshadowing the radiance of the surrounding treasures.
"What is this…" Round Ball suddenly widened its eyes.
w.a.n.g Teng squinted slightly, adjusting to the intensely bright light. Then, his smile grew wider and wider.
"w.a.n.g Teng, come closer and take a look," Round Ball urged.
w.a.n.g Teng took a few steps forward, crouched down, and ran his hand over the surface of the crimson-gold ore before him. His heart finally confirmed what he had suspected all along.
Inside the ore, strange patterns were converging into the shape of a giant dragon, vivid and lifelike as if it were about to burst out of the ore.
Particularly striking were the dragon"s eyes, which contained a pair of dragon pupils as if they were gazing at w.a.n.g Teng, emitting a mesmerizing aura.
"Dragon Blood Crimson Gold!" Round Ball suddenly recognized the origin of this ore and exclaimed in astonishment.
"Yes, indeed, it is Dragon Blood Crimson Gold!" w.a.n.g Teng chuckled secretly. "I didn"t expect to find such a treasure in the five major families" vault."
"Wow, this is incredible!" Round Ball took a deep breath, excitement evident in its voice. "How did you find it?"
"Crimson Gold is the source of Dragon Blood Crimson Gold. If it happens to integrate with the blood of a true dragon through some fortuitous encounter, after millions of years, or even longer, of evolution and nurturing, it might eventually have a chance to become Dragon Blood Crimson Gold. So when I saw this pile of Crimson Gold, I guessed that Dragon Blood Crimson Gold might be present within it. Moreover, I have a special dragon-blood physique and can sense a slight corresponding dragon-blood fluctuation, which naturally confirmed my suspicion," w.a.n.g Teng explained nonchalantly.
In reality, he had simply used the Real Eye to directly see the dazzling crimson-gold light beneath the pile of Real Eye, prompting him to investigate further.
"I see," Round Ball nodded thoughtfully, finding w.a.n.g Teng"s explanation plausible.
"How I discovered it isn"t important. What matters is that we can take this with us," w.a.n.g Teng declared.
"Indeed, such a rare treasure must be taken. It"s unreasonable not to select it. If you want to use it to forge weapons, it has to be at least eternal stage," Round Ball remarked.
As a grandmaster blacksmith, it understood the utility of the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold.
"Don"t forget, I already possess the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold," w.a.n.g Teng reminded softly.
Round Ball blinked, suddenly realizing. Its eyes sparkled with excitement as it exclaimed, "Yes, you already have the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold. Now, with the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold, if these two materials are combined… Wow, I dare not even think about it! w.a.n.g Teng, you must entrust these two materials to me for forging. You must."
It became extremely excited, almost wanting to s.n.a.t.c.h the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold away. With the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold in hand, the value of the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold would increase exponentially. Conversely, with the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold, the value of the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold would also rise. If both materials were used together for forging weapons, it would produce a miraculous reaction.
This wasn"t just hearsay but had been experimented with by blacksmiths before, leaving records. Although not many had witnessed it, it was a genuine phenomenon that no blacksmith doubted.
"Forget about it. I"m keeping this for myself," w.a.n.g Teng retorted.
Round Ball dared to dream. The Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold and the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold were both materials he rarely encountered. Now that he had unexpectedly acquired both, how could he possibly let them go?
"No, you, me…" Round Ball became fl.u.s.tered, scratching its head, almost wanting to fight w.a.n.g Teng.
"What level of blacksmithing proficiency have you reached?" w.a.n.g Teng inquired.
"I"m about to reach the peak of the grandmaster level," Round Ball replied proudly, its face beaming with pride. Then, with a sly grin, it added, "So, you should let me forge these two materials. Otherwise, it would be a waste if they were mishandled."
"Hmph, I"ve long reached the pinnacle of the grandmaster level. I could even advance to the semi-saint level soon," w.a.n.g Teng scoffed, blatantly lying.
In reality, his blacksmithing proficiency was only at the mid-tier grandmaster level. But advancing wasn"t difficult. It was just a matter of time
"Impossible!" Round Ball widened its eyes in disbelief.
"With my talent, do you think it"s impossible?" w.a.n.g Teng asked casually, his expression relaxed and nonchalant as if discussing something as simple as eating or drinking water.
"I…" Round Ball was suddenly speechless, unable to refute.
Just thinking about w.a.n.g Teng"s proficiency in alchemy was enough to understand. With w.a.n.g Teng"s monstrous talent, it was indeed possible for his blacksmithing proficiency to reach the pinnacle of the grandmaster level.
Originally, Round Ball"s blacksmithing proficiency was much higher than w.a.n.g Teng"s. But now, the latter had caught up, which was quite a blow.
Round Ball was depressed. It expressed a desire not to speak to w.a.n.g Teng anymore.
"I plan to use these two materials as my forging materials for advancing to the saint level. Then, you can a.s.sist me when the time comes," w.a.n.g Teng stated.
"Really?" Round Ball"s eyes lit up immediately, unable to contain its excitement anymore.
"I always keep my word," w.a.n.g Teng a.s.sured.
"Alright, it"s a deal!" Round Ball agreed hastily, afraid that w.a.n.g Teng might change his mind.
w.a.n.g Teng couldn"t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, he had convinced Round Ball. If Round Ball knew that his blacksmithing proficiency was not as good as its own, it would surely keep nagging.
