Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Chapter 623: Climbing the Realm



Su Yuan proceeded to invite three more customers one after another, handing over the items he had refined for them.

Although Su Yuan had not chosen to refine the Dominator Artifacts for these three individuals into supreme-grade items, they still reached the top-tier among high-quality goods.

All three were very grateful for Su Yuan’s refinement work and each promised to recommend friends to come for refinement.

The word-of-mouth from four customers was enough to make many people’s hearts stir!

Su Yuan had thought he would wait for some powerful experts, but unexpectedly, the first to approach him was the proprietress of the adjacent materials store, Wu.

“Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, I apologize for the intrusion!” Wu said apologetically.

Su Yuan smiled faintly and said, “We are cooperative partners, so naturally we should interact more. I wonder what matter brings you to me this time, Fellow Daoist?”

Wu said seriously, “I am a Second-Level Manager of the Primordial Commerce Guild. Given Fellow Daoist’s exceptional artifact refinement skills, our guild has decided to increase the intensity of our cooperation with you!”

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly. “How so?”

“Our guild is willing to provide Fellow Daoist with refinement materials. Fellow Daoist Seven Stars only needs to place the successfully refined high-quality goods in our guild for sale. As for the proceeds from sales, our guild only requires twenty-five percent!”

Wu stated this very directly.

Su Yuan smiled faintly and said, “That’s the lowest bottom line the guild gave you, isn’t it? You reported it directly!”

Wu’s expression remained unchanged. “In business, one should naturally treat others with sincerity. As your liaison, as long as I maintain a good relationship with you, my future path of promotion will be smooth sailing. My future doesn’t lie with the guild, but with you, Fellow Daoist.”

Sincerity is the ultimate killer move. Su Yuan admitted he was very satisfied with Wu’s choice and attitude.

Twenty-five percent meant a three-to-one split. This ratio was already very good.

Moreover, the Primordial Commerce Guild didn’t impose restrictions like success rates. He could apply for materials at will. This was practically giving him money!

Su Yuan said, “I am quite satisfied with this ratio. What about the specific details?”

Wu listed out the terms provided by the Primordial Commerce Guild. The clauses were surprisingly few. Su Yuan could apply for materials almost indefinitely. He only needed to provide finished products to the Primordial Commerce Guild for sale at regular intervals. The selling price would be set by the Primordial Commerce Guild, fluctuating around market value, ensuring Su Yuan wouldn’t suffer losses.

After carefully reviewing them and confirming there were no hidden pitfalls, Su Yuan decisively signed the contract.

Seeing this, Wu was extremely pleased. This way, she had facilitated the cooperation between Su Yuan and the Primordial Commerce Guild. Her position as a Third-Level Manager was secure!

Furthermore, she had also befriended Su Yuan, which would be her capital for securing her future livelihood.

“First, apply for one hundred sets of materials for refining thirty-tier Dominator Artifacts for me. Here is the list!”

Su Yuan handed the list to Wu.

Wu glanced over it and was utterly shocked. Many of the materials listed were extremely valuable. Applying for one hundred sets in one go—would the guild really approve it?

She wasn’t sure, but she still reported it to the Primordial Commerce Guild immediately.

The Primordial Commerce Guild was extremely generous.

Wu had just reported Su Yuan’s material list.

Merely a few breaths later, the application was approved.

Then, not long after, someone hurried over and delivered the materials to Wu.

Wu glanced at the goods within the storage treasure. Inside were a full hundred sets, comprising over nine thousand different materials. Even the lowest-valued item among them was a rare material worth one trillion Chaos Jade. Truly a grand gesture.

“Everything has been checked and tallied. Here you are!”

Wu handed all the materials over to Su Yuan.

After receiving them, Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction. “Thank you!”

Wu smiled and said, “It’s what I should do. In the future, if you have any needs, just send them directly to me. I will deliver the goods immediately!”

“Good. When I finish refining the Dominator Artifacts, I’ll also send them to you!” Su Yuan said with a laugh.

“No problem!”

After seeing Wu off, only then did other people come to his door requesting refinement of Dominator Artifacts.

Su Yuan refused none of them, accepting each order one by one.

In a short time, he received nine orders. After that, Su Yuan had Li Chun announce that they would temporarily stop accepting custom orders.

This left those who arrived later extremely regretful.

Su Yuan returned to his quiet chamber.

He did not start refining artifacts first.

Instead, he took out half of all the materials and directly threw them into the Tai’a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror!

Driven by Su Yuan, this treasure mirror began grinding down those materials, transforming them into Chaos Origin and condensing Dao Yan Crystals.

In fact, this mirror could directly condense Chaos Jade, but the output was very low, and the cost-effectiveness was even lower than directly selling the materials.

However, transforming them into Dao Yan Crystals was quite substantial.

After obtaining the Dao Yan Crystals, they could be transformed into a vast amount of Chaos Jade through the conversion of the [True Name Jade Disc].

“No wonder Taihao was able to comprehend up to the seventy-two-tier level before. The treasures he fished out could be continuously transformed into Chaos Jade for cultivation through the Tai’a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror. How did he obtain this mirror?”

Su Yuan was very curious, but unfortunately, this was Taihao’s own secret.

In fact, Su Yuan had also discovered by now that the several Dominator Artifacts Taihao had given him were all extremely special ungraded Dominator Artifacts. Before the seventieth tier, they could unleash effects corresponding to whatever level of attainment one possessed, which was simply heaven-defying.

Clearly, Taihao had encountered a tremendous stroke of fortune before.

Su Yuan watched as a large amount of treasures were transformed into Dao Yan Crystals, and then into Chaos Jade by the True Name Jade Disc.

The entire process lasted a full thousand years.

And Su Yuan obtained a full two hundred thousand Kalpa units of Chaos Jade!

It’s important to know that the market price of those materials was only over 450 Kalpa units. After this round of transformation, he directly obtained a five-hundred-fold profit.

It was even more profitable than artifact refinement.

Su Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, “Toiling hard for ten thousand years is not as good as Guiyuan plus True-Word!”

The most amazing part was still the True-Word Jade Dish. However, as his artifact refinement ability increased, the profits from refinement would also continuously rise. In the future, it might even surpass this simple Guiyuan process.

“It’s time to raise my realm!”

Su Yuan looked at this Chaos Jade with satisfaction.

His comprehension of Chaos True Intent had reached the forty-five-tier, but his physical body realm and Life-bound Chaos were still far from being elevated. What he lacked was precisely Chaos Jade.

Su Yuan opened his mouth and inhaled.

A vast amount of Chaos Jade transformed into countless streams of origin energy, surging into Su Yuan’s body.

His physical body was the first to begin its transformation.

The characteristics of his body were already extremely special. It was composed of countless True Name Stars, Chaos True Name Dao Patterns, and innumerable powerful flesh-and-blood universes. Every inch of his flesh and blood contained supreme mysteries. The origin power of Chaos Jade merged into his body, evolving True Name Stars and elevating Chaos True Name Dao Patterns. Every inch of flesh and blood possessed the capability of a real Chaos, incomparably terrifying.

But now, it was still advancing towards an even more fearsome physical form!

Su Yuan’s physical body level also rapidly advanced under the consumption of Chaos Origin.

Thirty-two-tier!

Thirty-five-tier!

Forty-tier!

When it reached the forty-tier, the consumption of Chaos Jade had already reached ten thousand Kalpa units.
