Chapter 570: Chapter 241 Doing Business with Ice Castle_1

Being the longest-standing family in The Great River District, with a lineage dating back three centuries, was the Duan Family.

Their heritage far surpasses the Li Family and Mi Shuhua’s lineage.

Apart from the founder of the family, the Duan Family had produced two Foundation Establishment cultivators every few decades over the past three hundred years.

Moreover, in this process,

the ruling members of Duan family were not obsessed with local power.

They often attempted to send their excellent disciples to the Great Sects.

Duan Feng’s father was amongst those examples.

Under such circumstances, the inheritance received by Luo Tian Creed from the Duan family after their downfall was pitifully minimal.

Later Luo Chen opened Duan Qiankun’s storage bag, gaining a substantial amount of resources.

However, when all tallied up, it wasn’t all that remarkable.

At most, it was roughly the same as an ordinary Immortal Cultivation Clan.

But, the Duan Family had its roots deeply embedded in The Great River District!

Adjacent to the Million Mountains, The Great River District is rich with resources.

Even Mi Shuhua, an insignificant Rogue Cultivator who luckily reached Foundation Establishment, had managed to amass an enormous fortune.

The Duan Family could not possibly be that poor in comparison.

Only after Duan Feng started studying the two spheres given to him by Luo Chen did he comprehend where the wealth of the Duan Family had truly ended up.

“This is a Tool Casting Method inherited from our Duan Family, that originates from Tian Fan City.”

“Using Mithril as the main ingredient, we blend it with four Second Order materials to form a Prohibition Ball.”

“Generally, this method is not used lightly, as the Mithril Prohibition Ball itself is very expensive.”

“But in one situation, it’s indispensable!”

Duan Feng was speaking glibly, his gaze fixed on the two spheres.

A line of Spirit Consciousness emerged somewhat shakily from his body.

Following this, it fell upon the Mithril Prohibition Ball.

Duan Feng was a bit strained and this was his first time actively using his external Spirit Consciousness after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

The next moment,

The liquid silver on the Mithril Prohibition Ball flowed, receding like water.

Afterward, a cluster of liquid appeared before them.

Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise, “This is what a Magic Item Embryo looks like?”

“That’s because it hasn’t been shaped yet and is still missing some materials.”

While speaking, Duan Feng’s thoughts moved and the liquid silver once again completely enveloped the object.

“Indeed, the only treasures that merit the application of Mithril Prohibition Ball are the likes of Magic Item Embryos.”

Duan Feng exhaled in relief.

“In fact, this method has had successful precedents in my Duan Family in the past.”

Luo Chen hesitated, “The Ze Guo Kui Map?”

Duan Feng nodded, “Yes. That Defense Magic Item took three hundred years to complete. Initially, due to the difficulty of finding the main material, the Gui Water True Essence, it had to be collected and added bit by bit. Secondly, the Tool Casting Technique of the Duan Family was average. Hence, Mithril Prohibition Balls had to be used to seal it continuously, ensuring that the embryo doesn’t miscarry.”

Embryo doesn’t miscarry?

That sounded quite peculiar.

Luo Chen internally commented.

After that, he looked at the two Prohibition Balls with great care.

“Do you have any idea what types of Magic Items are being refined in these two embryos?”

Duan Feng nodded.

“If there are no surprises, the Prohibition Ball that I opened just now is the most common embryonic state of a water attribute Magic Item Flying Sword, presently still lacking two main materials.”

“As for the other one, I am currently uncertain. But given its antiquity, surpassing even the Flying Sword Embryo, it might be something left behind by the first generation ancestor of my Duan Family.”

Luo Chen excitedly stated, “If they could be successfully forged, that would be wonderful.”

He currently didn’t lack Magic Items.

For defense, there was the Lan Ke Black and White Chess.

For offense, there was the Xuanhuo Sword.

But no one would ever complain about having too many Magic Items!

Whether it be Duan Feng, who had just reached Foundation Establishment, or Wang Yuan who had already reached the Second Realm of Body Refinement, or even the group of Ninth Level Qi Refinement cultivators from Luo Tian Creed who were close to Foundation Establishment,

All of them have potential need for Magic Items.

If these two Magic Items could be obtained, their fighting strength would greatly increase.

“If you can find those two main materials, perhaps I could forge this Magic Item Flying Sword.”

“Eh? Aren’t you only capable of crafting Medium Grade Magic Tools?” Luo Chen skeptically looked at Duan Feng.

Duan Feng snorted, “Who are you looking down on? I was able to successfully refine an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool last year!”

Luo Chen gave a cheeky grin.

He spent a lot of time in Closed-Door Cultivation last year, so he genuinely didn’t know about this “trifling matter”.

However, this was still a Magic Item!

Being so familiar, Duan Feng could vaguely sense Luo Chen’s thoughts.

He straightened his face, “This will truly not be difficult, as this Embryo is already nearing completion and is only missing two materials.”

“According to my estimation, perhaps Duan Qiankun had been continuously attempting to forge it.”

“If there are materials, I just need to melt them in and then make it fixed in shape.”

Luo Chen also seriously stated, “As far as I know, shaping a Magic Item requires not just materials. The issues with the Array are also significant, are you really sure?”

“If it was previously, I would not have been certain. But now…”

Duan Feng chuckled, “Did you forget we have an Array Master amongst us in the Luo Tian Creed?”

Luo Chen realized immediately.

Min Longyu!

“But, he doesn’t understand Tool Casting, right?”

Duan Feng confidently stated, “Not all Tool Casting Masters are proficient in the Path of Array. Most of the time, Tool Casting is done collectively. A Magic Item, from nothing to something, has its process, each with its division of labor. The most critical part, the Array, is also the same.”

Having said this, Luo Chen understood completely.

Whenever Duan Feng had been casting or repairing Magic Tools in the past, he was always surrounded by the Tool Casting apprentices he brought along.

Some would assist him in dealing with the ores, while some helped him control the fire.

Even during the crucial engraving of the Array, there would often be people taking turns.

Tool Casting differed from Pill Refinement.
