Chapter 6: The Flame Palace

First things first, he needed to make a decision between these two options.

The first option was a more adventurous one, something he had never tried to do before: a muscle refining plan, which involved refining the muscle into a weapon.

The other was the safer option, and it was upgrading the skin he had refined at the beginning. Because the skin had been refined into a transcendent weapon, which had a strong defensive ability, and higher fault tolerance!

All weapons had a certain room for improvements, and with Su Yun's new skills and abilities, transcendent weapons can also be upgraded, which would be his starting point.

After comparing the pros and cons, Su Yun still chose the relatively safer plan of continuing refining the skin.

Despite the benefits, the effort and time spent refining the muscles were far too much than refining the skin. And in the case that he failed, the result would be very damming to Su Yun.

By refining the skin again, he could make its foundation more solid, and by then, refining the muscles should not be a big problem!

"I feel that after refining the skin this time, the success rate for refining the muscles will be much higher!"

In the end, Su Yun made up his mind to start refining the skin.

When Su Yun woke up early to prepare breakfast that day, he found that Su Youwei, his granddaughter, had already woken up and was cleaning the rooms.

"Good morning, Grandpa!" Su Youwei said with a smile.

Grandpa seemed to be stressed. Usually, he would only wake up at 8 or 9 o'clock to eat before leaving for work. Maybe the request for 10,000 alliance dollars last night made him anxious!

It was only 6 o'clock and Su Yun was already up and about.

"Good morning!" Su Yun replied as he started to cook breakfast.

After Su Yun finished his breakfast, Su Yuan came out of his room.

He laid on the sofa in the living room and watched TV with his head tilted.

As he was laying on his side, he began to contemplate if he should tell Grandpa that he picked up a ring yesterday.

There was an old man in the ring. The man said that he had a very powerful cultivation technique that could make Su Yuan the most powerful being in the world. In return, when Su Yuan was strong enough, he had to find a body for the man to possess.

Su Yuan was very apprehensive of this old man's words. This old man probably wanted me to learn his cultivation technique first before possessing me.

Does he think that I am a three-year-old child? That I didn't know what he was trying to do?

I didn't know how many online novels I had read, but one thing I know is that an old bat like him would not be able to trick me!

Therefore, Su Yuan ignored the old man in the ring. He even hid the ring in a corner of his room so that it couldn't harm anyone!

Su Yuan felt that he had done a great deed!

Only then did he walk out of his room.

Su Yun took a few simple bites of breakfast.

"I'm off to work! After finishing breakfast both of you should go to school! Don't stay at home to fool around!" Su Yun instructed before leaving the house.

"Okay," Su Youwei and Su Yuan answered at the same time.

On the way to his special underground smithy, Su Yun remembered that he had not bought any materials yet.

He took out his phone slowly and found the corresponding materials to buy.

When Su Yun arrived at his shop, a small pickup truck appeared at the door.

"Sir, are these the goods you ordered?" A middle-aged man said as he delivered the goods.

The man walked over with a big box in his hand.

When the middle-aged man saw that the address was leading him to a basement, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

As long as the customers paid the money, where in the city wouldn't he go?

When Su Yun saw the man, he knew that he had just enough to buy the goods.

He unrolled the shop's shutter door and led the person inside.

He pointed at the corner and said, "You can put it in that corner!"

"Okay!" The middle-aged man brought all the materials in and placed them where he was instructed to.

"You can check the goods yourself. If there isn't any problem, just sign here."

The middle-aged man took out a small notebook.

"I'm already a regular. Do you still not trust me?"

Su Yun took the notebook from the middle-aged man's hand and signed it, sending the delivery man away.

Su Yun took out a first-grade material from the large box: a blue field jade.

The blue field jade was a jade of different quality. Its yearly output was astonishingly high.

There were even poems written to praise the blue field jade:

The pearls were the moon's tears in the blue sea, the blue field was warmed by the sun as the jade gave birth to the smoke.

The immortal descended to the capital yesterday and planted a box of blue field jades.

He looked at the blue field jade in his hand, which had been praised in his previous life, and often used when refining artifacts.

He also sighed. It looked just like any other jade.

But to the people in the world today, the jade's appearance was not as important as its strength.

Plus, people had become more practical these days and would not think of such things.

Thinking far ahead, Su Yun shifted his gaze back to the blue field jade in front of him.

The next part of the plan was to refine a weapon and sell it for money.

The few hundred alliance dollars he had on hand was not enough to upgrade the refinement of his skin. The materials needed for refining the skin was about 10,000 alliance dollars. No matter what, he had to refine the skin into a spirit weapon. The materials used for that should be of high quality.

He placed the blue field jade in the furnace to douse it in fire. Then, he called out his ability, the [ Yellow Flame ], to control the temperature of the flame.

From time to time, he would add some materials into the furnace.

And he would hammer it at the right time.

With the [Yellow Flame ] , it was simply too easy to forge a perfect-grade weapon.

However, if people saw that Su Yun could control the fire, they would probably think that Su Yun was a fire mage, just like those people who wanted to rob him.

Although mages were extremely rare, it did not mean that there were no mages.

However, even among those fire mages, no one could have the same level of control like Su Yun does.

Who would use fire mages to refine weapons like Su Yun?

Improving one's strength was the right path for fire mages.

About half an hour later...

Ding! "Congratulations on refining a transcendent perfect-grade weapon."

Ding! "Reward received for materials lucky draw."

That's it?

Su Yun was a little disappointed. Why didn't he unlock another 1% of the [ Yellow Flame ] abilities?

Could it be that the only way to unlock the next level was to refine himself as a weapon?

Then, could he have accidentally uncovered the mysterious veil? Had he, by chance, grabbed the invisible hand in the dark?

Was my transmigration not an accident? !

Forget it, I'm too weak now, it's useless to think about this.

It's better to focus on finding a way to make money first.

No matter what tricks he has on his sleeves, as long as he's strong, he can overcome everything!

Su Yun used a simple snake skin bag to wrap the newly refined weapon.

Closing the door to his smithy, Su Yun walked towards the Flame Palace.

About half an hour later...

A building shaped like a huge shield stood before his eyes, giving off an air of astounding defensive power.

The building looked exquisite, and there was quite a bit of light flowing within it, perfectly fusing the eastern and western elements.

The people who came here to shop all looked dignified and had extraordinary posture, and all of them were either rich or noble.

This was the "Flame Palace", one of the three largest weapons establishments in Shadow Moon Base City.

"Hello sir, what weapons do you wish to buy today?" The receptionist had a professional smile on his face as he asked politely.

"Where can I sell my weapons?" Su Yun asked back.
