Zhang Huaping couldn't help but reach out to touch the blade, smooth and delicate.

The more she looked, the more she loved it.

In fact, the Demon Cultivators of Sword Casting Manor previously didn't want to capture a few Casting Masters to develop the magical artifact industry.

But after experiencing various quality issues, they completely gave up.

Unexpectedly, this time they actually managed to create something remarkable.

"How is it?" Jiucai Rong asked.

"I didn't expect Sword Casting Manor to have such craftsmanship," Zhang Huaping admitted, shocked and moved.

Magical artifacts are their second life, their second lover.

A weapon so beautiful hit her right in the heart!

What Demon Hunter could refuse such a beautiful peerless lover?

But soon she discovered that the features were a type of frenzy, and...

"There's only one energy storage spell."

She took a deep breath.

She didn't know if they sacrificed practicality for aesthetics, or if the smithing skills of the manor were so low that they could only create defective products with less than 20% magic copper energy storage utilization.

She thought for a moment and offered her suggestion, sell a good one:

"I think it can sell, but this frenzy, though it looks wonderful and can allow a comeback from desperate situations, isn't very practical."

"Why?" Daojiu was somewhat displeased; this was his carefully crafted flagship product.

Zhang Huaping said, "Because truly in the wild, even if you win after activating frenzy, you'd be weak for several days, utterly defenseless in the wild, almost certainly doomed."

"This means you need teammates to protect you during this weak period, but unfortunately, most cultivators hunting demon beasts don't trust their teammates, fearing a backstab."

"So its practicality isn't as high as it seems on the surface."

"Two hundred Magic Coins is the savings of most Demon Hunters for one to two years; with that money, most would prefer buying a normally endowed magical artifact rather than a weapon that once used, offers no combat help in ordinary times."

"However, if you want to sell it, I can contact a shop in the city, let the shopkeeper negotiate the price. Ordinary people won't spend this money, but wealthy people willing to spend 200 or more Magic Coins might buy it."

"I see," Jiucai Rong immediately understood, contemplating for a moment.

The essence is not strong, aligning well with their conjectures.

Given mixed spirit roots, it's just that, picking the barely usable among the short ones.

It seems the main selling point is still the aesthetics of their weapon.

After all, this is their newest painted coating technology.

Besides Goosegrass, they accidentally discovered a type of mixed earth spirit root—Golden Grass, a dye plant commonly used by villagers and tailors in the village below the mountain.

They tried cultivating this weed as a spiritual root.

Cultivators with this root can slightly control some metal refraction, belonging to the widespread wild mixed spirit roots that even dogs wouldn't cultivate.

But they found that using it in enchantment had unique effects.

Just a small amount added to the weapon could increase the weapon's transparency, with a dazzling golden sheen.

This secret formula instantly delighted the smiths.

Who needs practical combat functions?

Just focus on being cool and full of Immortal Qi.

They knew better than anyone that practicality is momentary.

Good looks can fetch a higher price.

This world values scholarship above all; there are many scholars, who most likely have the habit of wearing sabers and swords; such flashy styles are just the tools these young heroes use to show off at inns and gatherings.

This is their targeted market positioning!

And practical value also has the exclusive attribute of frenzy.

A burst of a match at the teahouse or inn, and it's instantly a display.

As for the subsequent weakness?

Who cares! This is a full set of pretentious magical artifacts.

This frenzy isn't meant for them to risk their lives outdoors; it's to show off in front of others.

After multiple market analyses, they unified the opinion: this product is quite marketable!

For the sake of good-looking weapons, each batch of weapons requires a Dye Enchanter; this mysterious coating secret technology is unique to us.

Jiucai Rong pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "For the price, I think setting it at 499 Magic Coins, what do you think?"

This was too daring.

Zhang Huaping had thought it could sell, but upon hearing this, she was stunned, thinking this must be madness for money!

I analyzed it so thoroughly...

After all, no matter how good it looks, practical value must be considered; this is the basic attribute of a magical artifact.

Jiucai Rong looked at her expression, thinking they couldn't communicate.

Basic attribute?

The basic attribute of wine is to drink, but people use it for speculation.

What is brand effect?

A brand has a premium!

Of course, they must first ensure quality is solid.

Whether in practicality or aesthetics, they must forge a path others cannot replicate, to carve out a piece of the cake in the crowded casting circle.

Jiucai Rong chuckled and said:

"In our warehouse, there are enchanted magical artifacts with one, two, and three spells, which are white, blue, and purple, all sold for 499, but they will be sold in blind box form, depending on luck for the quality you draw."

Zhang Huaping was not a businessperson, not understanding the mechanism of blind boxes very well.

Just felt this wasn't replacing good with poor, openly mixing unsellable defective magical artifacts with normal ones for sale?

Such shamelessness, how could anyone be fooled?

This is the first point to ruin reputation.

Moreover, if someone buys a good magical artifact and someone a defective one at the same price, unfairness will surely lead the shortchanged to cause a scene in the store!

This is the second point to ruin reputation.

"I'll contact the shopkeeper."

She directly pulled out a Communication Token to consult the other side.

The shopkeeper hadn't seen the physical item, just hearing about it already made it seem unreliable.

However, he was more experienced than Zhang Huaping, having heard of similar blind boxes.

It's said that in the real Continent City, some shops do engage in similar random gift bags, but only with small gifts.

There's absolutely no one selling so-called blind box weapons.

What is the requirement of cultivators buying magical artifacts?

All are choosing magical artifacts that suit their cultivation technique attributes; with such randomness, it may not be usable for them, do you take people for fools?

But pressured by the notorious name of the Demon Cultivators, the elderly shopkeeper tentatively replied to Zhang Huaping that they could cosign five blind boxes.

In this way, the temporary sale of magical artifacts concludes here.

Su Yuniang, seeing the other side not optimistic, didn't explain the reasons, just smiled and said:

"Then, just consign a few blind boxes for now. By the way, isn't elder sister so fond of this knife?"

She paused, "I can sell it to you cheaper, as a personal favor, at cost price 200 Magic Coins."

Zhang Huaping was instantly tempted.

At this moment, she touched a few stands, the knife in her hand was a three-spell energy storage magical artifact, even ordinary similar magical artifacts were 200~300 Magic Coins.

Also, it's so beautiful she could bring a second weapon as a trump card.

To her, 499 was too exaggerated, 200 Magic Coins were reasonable; after all, the coarse embryo alone cost 120 Magic Coins, the other party wasn't even making a profit, it was cost price; even if she resold it later, she'd profit a little, though she might not sell it for 499, selling it to wealthy people for 250 Magic Coins was a small 50 profit, that was her view of the magical artifact's normal price.

She became vigilant, "Getting it in hand, I won't lose out, so, what's the price?"

"Sister carries it on her back when going out, just for us to promote and showcase." Su Yuniang said, "But you have to say, you got it for 499 Magic Coins."

Su Yuniang, naturally sociable, held her hand with a look of only caring for her sister:

"After all, sister looks a bit tense at a glance, probably not intending to come to the manor, afraid life is tight, so sell this magical artifact cheaply to sister."

Zhang Huaping's mind stirred.

Though the manor's Manor Master remains wicked and inconsiderate, these slaves and smiths are quite nice.

Clearly with less than a year left to live, they didn't seek revenge on society, living in darkness yet longing for light.

Suffering personally but paving the way for others, lively and cheerful, swallowing bitterness inwardly, what kind of spirit is this?

But she couldn't help nor dared to help, only watching helplessly.

She sighed, feeling melancholy and moved, the weak are like this, unable to act heroically, she pulled out savings of half a year's 200 Magic Coins, then took the weapon carrying it on her back, solemnly said:

"Consign five blind boxes, then next, let's discuss the business of Magic Copper Coarse Embryos."
