Weapon seller in the world of magic

As Shang Fu was discussing their next course of action at the border of Western Yan, meanwhile, at Genesis Weapon Store, Imperial City;

Despite there being no customers for the past few days, the store was still kept open so that people know Mark is at his house.

Usually, he sits at the counter and chats with his fiancée but right now, he is in his room. Of course, he wasn’t sleeping.

Mark was staring at a specific item in his inventory and wondering whether it is really okay to destroy it just because he hates the Imperial family.

”The weapon is bound to Shang Fu. So, it can never be mine to use. It is quite possible that the weapon could escape the moment I let it out of the inventory.

To sever its connection with Shang Fu and forcefully bind it to me requires a billion credits. I don’t have such an amount of money to give to the system. Even if I have, I wouldn’t still do it. This bow is not just worth it.

Hmmm... I can keep this with me and use it as a bargaining chip in the future but I will lose 25 million credits/125 million gold coins if I do that.

But then again, neither 25 million nor the Phoenix Empire would become important in my life. If only I could find a way to extract the materials and use them to build... Hmm? Wait a second...”

All of a sudden, something clicked inside Mark’s head and he quickly went to the system’s store and clicked on the skills section.

He stopped scrolling down after finding what he was looking for.

”Yup, this is the one...”

He then scroll down to the bottom and explored the unique skills. He stopped scrolling down after finding what he was looking for.

”Yup, this is the one...”

His face beamed in excitement as he pressed his finger on the skill, ”Weapon Transmutation.”

*Ding! 1,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation has been added to the skill section.

Weapon Transmutation (Level-1): With a touch on an item, the user could extract all the raw materials used in making it. Currently, it only works on ungraded items. Cost: N/A. CD: 12 hours.

Seeing level-1 glowing beside the skill name, Mark wasn’t discouraged by its description and clicked on the level.

*Ding! Proceed for the upgrade? 1 million credits will be deducted.

”Yes.” Mark proceeded without hesitation.

*Ding! 1,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-2.

Mark read its new description. ”Hmm. The upper limit is increased to bronze. Let’s continue.”

*Ding! 1,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-3.

*Ding! 1,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-4.

*Ding! 1,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-5.

”Okay, I reached platinum but it isn’t enough. From here, the fee will increase but it’s alright. I have enough credits anyway.”

*Ding! 2,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-6.

*Ding! 3,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-7.

*Ding! 4,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-8.

”Damn, the price is getting skyrocketed for the divine-grade items. But, it doesn’t matter. I will sacrifice all of the semi-divine weapons if I have to earn more credits. Let’s proceed...”

*Ding! 10,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-9.

*Ding! 20,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to level-10.

*Ding! 30,000,000 credits have been deducted. Weapon Transmutation skill has been upgraded to maximum level.

”74 million credits... 370 million gold coins...” Mark couldn’t help but stare at the remaining balance in a daze, realizing that he had indeed spent too much.

It was then he remembered about a certain side quest.

”System, Open the Quest list”

Side Quest-III: Spend a total of 100,000,000 credits in the system store (99.2%)

Reward: Staff of Blessing, the Lamp of Wishes.

”Well, in the end, despite trying to postpone it in order to save money, I almost completed it after all. Should I go ahead and purchase something now?” Mark fell into thinking.

The war is almost over and Alina would still need a few upgrades to qualify to help him now that she lost her weapon. Of course, he can still give her another semi-divine weapon but none of the possessed items were suitable to her as the Doom Scythe.

”Anyways, let’s not care about those things right now and focus on the present. We will handle one problem after another.” Mark doesn’t know the exact reason but he just doesn’t want to resurrect Alina yet, atleast not before he takes revenge against her culprit, the Necromancer King.

In the end, he abandoned the idea of completing the quest and closed down the window. He opened the skills, once again.

Weapon Transmutation (max): With a touch on an item of any grade (ungraded-God), the user could extract all the raw materials used in making it. Cost: N/A. CD: 5 seconds.

Mark clicked on the skill and activated it.

*Ding! Touch the object you desire to use the skill on.

”Open inventory.”

He clicked on the bow. Only details appeared.

*Ding! You need to physically touch the object for it to work.

The system reminded him without asking.

”I see...” Mark nodded and then took a deep breath before summoning it to the outside world.

The imperial phoenix bow probably realized the situation. A powerful screech escaped from the bow while it turned into hot flames.

”Ugh...” Mark groaned in pain but it only lasted for a second before the majestic bow was surrounded by the golden glow and eventually turned into specks of light.

*Ding! The Imperial Bow of Phoenix has been salvaged.

*Ding! You extracted 2.8kg of Adamantium, 12.4kg of Mythril, Phoenix orb (78% purity), 40kg of Heavenly Jade Dust, and the hair of the White Dragon Emperor. Check out your inventory.

”A phoenix orb? Heavenly jades dust?”

Mark opened the inventory and click on the raw material he was hearing for the first time.

*

Phoenix Orb

Purity: 78%

Description: An orb that contained the energy of the mythical beast, phoenix. The purity has been lost because of the mixture of the energies of various wielders across history.

Effects: The orb can be used in making a semi-divine or higher-grade weapon. It can also be directly consumed by the user to acquire the Phoenix Bloodline, although the process has a high risk of death.

**

Heavenly Jade Dust

Status: Crystalline

Weight: 40kg

Description: An element found only in the celestial plan. Jade crystal is the gods’ equivalent version of the ether crystal.

Effects: Useful in making mithril and celestial grade items. Useful in making an aphrodisiac that works even against the gods.

**

Reading the description made him remember the ether powder he unlocked in the gallery. A doubt rose in his head.

He asked, ”System, I want to know the grade of ether crystals your ether powder is made of.”

The system was ready with its reply.

*Ding! After extracting the ether energy from the crystals, the system prepares the ether powder as follows.

1) Copper-grade ether powder is purely a powdered form of a low-grade ether crystal.

2) Silver-grade ether powder is purely made from middle-grade ether crystal.

3) Gold-grade ether power is a mixture of middle-grade and high-grade ether crystals with a ratio of 3:1

4) Platinum-grade ether powder is the same mixture as earlier but the ratio this time is 1:3

5) Semi-divine-grade powder (Diamond, Crystal, and Ruby) is purely made from the powdered form of high-grade ether crystals.

6) Mithril grade needs peak-grade ether crystals.

7) Celestial-grade ether powder can be made from various elements like the heavenly jade crystals, Black Jade crystals of the Hell realm, Obsidian of the mortal plane, Qing Jing and Zhen Zhu of the undying lands, and so on. The system prefers to use the jade crystals of heaven.

8) God-grade ether powder can only be made from cosmic dust, also known as interstellar dust from space.

”Obsidian? Are you fucking serious?” Mark’s jaw dropped in shock as he saw that obsidian powder is used to make celestial-grade weapons.

Obsidian is nothing but volcanic glass that is formed when lava cools rapidly and solidifies without crystallizing. It is most commonly found in areas where volcanic activity has occurred and is probably the easiest to acquire.

”Damn, I should have asked you about this earlier. By now, I would have collected tons of obsidian from all over the world.”
