With the magic weapon finished, Jiang Yue's cultivation had reached the peak of the early Golden Core stage. She took the talismans she had drawn during this time and went to the branch of the Universal Chamber of Commerce. Drawing talismans was too time-consuming. Jiang Yue originally wanted to set up an assembly line for drawing talismans, but she couldn't control the input of spiritual power well, and her progress was currently stuck. Her level of weapon refining was still not enough.
She went to the Chamber of Commerce to buy the talismans and disposed of the magic tools she had used for practice. She would sell them for whatever price she could get. After collecting the spirit stones from the items she had consigned last time, she checked the bounties but there was no response. There was a fragment of a third-tier weapon-refining inheritance, but the price was a bit too high. The Chamber of Commerce suggested that she wait, but Jiang Yue didn't listen to their advice and spent more money to buy it. Maybe with this fragmented inheritance, she could get the assembly-line talisman-drawing done.
After purchasing it, she instructed the members of the Chamber of Commerce that if anyone provided clues, that would be helpful. However, the Chamber of Commerce also stated that they were not responsible for verifying clues, and Jiang Yue would have to talk to them herself. Jiang Yue agreed and returned to her cave to begin a new round of seclusion. After thoroughly studying this inheritance, she also broke through the assembly line talisman drawing technique. Now, Jiang Yue no longer needed to do this repetitive work, and the time saved could be used to study weapon crafting more.
Not long after, Jiang Yue ran out of talismans and went to the Chamber of Commerce to hand them over to the Chamber's appraiser. The appraiser, seeing the identical talisman-drawing techniques, stroked his beard and was puzzled. He felt that the force of each stroke was the same. He compared several with the same ones and was quite curious. However, if he wanted to work well in the Chamber of Commerce, he shouldn't have so much curiosity, so he didn't ask any questions and simply returned them to Jiang Yue.
This is equivalent to a wholesale price, which is lower than the price Jiang Yue would pay if she sold it herself. However, this saves time and effort, and the frequent cooperation with the talisman paper and spirit ink also resulted in significant discounts, so the overall cost is about the same. Over the past hundred years, Jiang Yue's membership level has risen to silver, and silver members have much greater privileges. Now, Jiang Yue can purchase third-tier inheritances without joining the merchant guild. Upon learning this news, Jiang Yue decisively took it. Waiting a little longer is probably necessary.
After purchasing the inheritance, Jiang Yue went to check out the strange and unusual ores inside the Chamber of Commerce. These were rare or unidentifiable, and silver members had the right to purchase them. Jiang Yue looked at the ones that others couldn't recognize, and she couldn't recognize them either. She habitually called 8888 to scan them, and there was indeed a response: "Host, the silver-white ore in the left front has an energy reaction. You can extract energy to improve your storage space."
Today is a double celebration! You know, over the past hundred years, countless things have been tested, but none of them have been usable. Today, finally, there's a reaction. Jiang Yue waved her hand and took the ore in her hand. She used her divine sense and spiritual power to sense it and only felt a hardness: "What kind of ore is this?"
The attendant found the information and looked at it: "The appraiser only said it was very hard, but after a fifth-level weapon refiner melted it with spiritual fire, it lost its hardness and became like ordinary metal, so it was identified as a useless metal."
After listening to the attendant's explanation, Jiang Yue called out "8888" to confirm that it was the spirit stone. Then she asked about the price, which, despite its seemingly useless nature, wasn't cheap: "Could you check how many spirit stones I have in my account?" The attendant checked and told Jiang Yue, "You have 14,000 mid-grade spirit stones in your account."
"Buy all of this ore for me, and also add an option to buy unlimited quantities of this ore. Here are 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Contact me again when you've used them up."
The attendant took the storage bag from Jiang Yue, checked that the number of spirit stones inside matched, and then credited Jiang Yue's account. He asked Jiang Yue to wait a moment, and soon returned with another storage bag, saying, "Hello, guest. This is all the inventory. The spirit stones have been deducted from your account, and the new acquisition request has been submitted to the Chamber of Commerce. It has been processed according to your request."
Jiang Yue took the storage bag and had 8888 scan it. After confirming there were no problems, she put it away. She extended her cave dwelling for another hundred years, which cost her another sum of money. Jiang Yue looked at her space and saw that she had 10,000 low-grade spirit stones left. She had given the mid-grade spirit stones to the merchant guild to buy ores, but she hadn't touched the twelve high-grade spirit stones and spirit crystals. She was about to become poor again.
Back in her cave, Jiang Yue asked 8888, "8888, what kind of ore is this? How much space can this storage bag of spirit stones expand?"
"Host, 8888 doesn't know either. It only knows that there is the energy needed here. As for how much it can improve, we'll only know after absorbing the energy. Do you want to start collecting energy?"
"absorb!"
A moment later, Jiang Yue felt that the appearance of the ore had changed. She took out a piece and examined it with her spiritual power. It was completely different from the original ore. She would have to study it herself to find out what it was used for. After a while, 8888 spoke up: "Energy absorption complete, space begins to expand... Expanding... Expansion complete, space increased from 6×6×6 to 8×8×8."
Jiang Yue looked at the expanded space and nodded in satisfaction. It was good that it could be expanded. Judging from the Chamber of Commerce's expression, they didn't seem to value the ore very much. They probably could only buy some more before the uses of the ore were fully understood. Jiang Yue didn't expect them to sell everything to her without thinking. She guessed that they had kept a lot for themselves, and it would be good if they sold her half of it.
After putting the items from the storage bag into her spatial storage, Jiang Yue went to study what the extracted energy ore could be used for. There were systematic testing methods for weapon crafting. Half a year later, Jiang Yue excitedly ran out of the weapon crafting room, unable to control her emotions. She had struck it rich! Remember that metal that could ignore spiritual energy barriers? This material also had that property. Jiang Yue had bought some for Bullet Head back then, spending over ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Now, Jiang Yue looked at the storage bag, which was now half full after refining.
Then she mixed it with other metals to see if she could create any special alloys. As a result, it produced a magical chemical reaction with a highly toxic metal. The highly toxic metal was originally soft and not resistant to high temperatures. Jiang Yue originally bought it to make poison bullets, but the bullets melted under high temperatures when they were fired and accelerated. However, after combining with this metal, it gained the ability to make armor-piercing poison bullets. She really hit the jackpot.
Well, now that's settled. A few shots from a Barrett might not kill you, but if it gets inside you, it could poison you. After making a bunch of bullets, Jiang Yue walked out of the weapon-refining room with satisfaction. She was a little reluctant to sell them, but poverty makes one lose heart. However, she had to carefully consider and weigh the pros and cons before selling them.
