440 Heavenly Lock 440 Heavenly Lock “I wonder what kind of Star Device Su Xing Lord wants?”
Hearing Duan Tianzhi’s inquiry, Su Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Naturally, it should be a Space Star Device, but both the Copy of Mountains and Rivers and the Four Seas Bottle are not quite suitable for me. The former leans towards functionality, while the latter should actually belong to the Water Series Star Devices.
What I want is a Space Star Device that can be used for direct combat, attacking, defending, and controlling.”
Su Yuan knew that Space Star Devices were rare, so he had no special requirements for the category.
“A Space Star Device for direct combat…” Duan Tianzhi looked at Su Yuan, thought for a moment, then stood up and said, “Please follow me, Star Lord.”
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly but didn’t ask much. He followed Duan Tianzhi out of the Artifact Refining Hall and headed towards a certain place in the Miracle Workshop.
“Grandmaster Duan.”
“Hello, Grandmaster Duan!”
“…”
Along the way, many Artifact Refiners greeted Duan Tianzhi and curiously observed Su Yuan, who was wearing a Star Robe.
Su Yuan looked calm, while Duan Tianzhi responded casually as he began to explain things to Su Yuan.
“Epic Grade Space Star Devices are rarer due to the preciousness of the materials and the difficulty of refining. Normally, if it’s not a custom order, we don’t specifically refine special series Star Devices. In the past few decades, only two Epic Grade Space Star Devices have been produced in the Miracle Workshop.”
Su Yuan remained silent, waiting quietly for Duan to continue.
“However, to ensure we can quickly refine the needed Star Devices when required, we do keep some ‘Artifact Embryos’ that are already shaped and waiting for further refining.”
Su Yuan, not knowing much about artifact refining, asked in confusion, “Artifact Embryos?”
“Yes, Star Lord Su, think of them as semi-finished products.”
“Got it,” Su Yuan nodded.
As they talked, they arrived at a blackish building. From the outside, it didn’t look like anything important. But as soon as he stepped inside, Su Yuan saw two older Artifact Refining Masters in purple artifact refining robes, heatedly discussing something.
The surrounding walls were covered with various diagrams, runes, and formulas.
“We should definitely add Flowing Wave Stone to balance the fire element and enhance toughness.”
“Flowing Wave Stone is too average. We must add Nine Yin Fire Sand, which balances the fire with yin fire and further enhances fire element strengthening!”
“If you add Nine Yin Fire Sand, its ferocity will be too strong, and it might self-destruct after a few uses!”
“That’s why I said before, you need to add some auxiliary materials to smooth out the ferocity.”
“What kind of auxiliary materials could smooth out such strong ferocity? That’s a joke!”
…
“Master Yang, Master Wei,” Duan Tianzhi spoke up, interrupting their conversation.
“Duan Tianzhi, how come you have time to visit No.4 Artifact Research Institute?”
Su Yuan silently remarked to himself, So this is the Artifact Research Institute? It’s so chaotic, and without even a sign outside. Truly, they act at their whim…
Besides personal Artifact Refiners, the Miracle Workshop also had multiple Artifact Research Institutes, gathering groups of Artifact Refiners to research topics related to the Artifact Path.
Duan Tianzhi asked, “Is Elder Wei here?”
Master Yang replied, “He’s in the Hidden Artifact Room, doing some research. Do you need him?”
“Yes, I remember you have some Space Artifact Embryos here, so I came to have a look.”
“Space Artifact Embryos…,” Master Yang and Master Wei looked at Su Yuan behind them. “Is this the new Star Lord?”
Duan Tianzhi said, “Yes, this is the new Yu Heng Star Lord.”
“Vermilion Bird Imperial, Su Yuan.” Su Yuan greeted the two with a bow.
After glancing at Su Yuan, the two masters nodded and casually said, “Do as you please.”
“Alright.”
Duan Tianzhi led Su Yuan further in. They saw quite a few Master level refiners, including three to four at the Grandmaster level.
When they arrived at a “Hidden Artifact Room,” an old man was sitting inside, appearing to be dozing off while holding some documents.
“Cough, cough!”
Duan Tianzhi lightly coughed.
“Duan Tianzhi, why are you here?” The old man quickly woke up and rubbed his eyes. “And you brought someone from the Sky Patrol Department… a Star Lord?”
“Elder Wei,” Duan Tianzhi stepped forward and bowed.
Su Yuan followed suit and then directly explained their purpose.
Elder Wei said, “Space Artifact Embryos… we do have a few.”
Before Elder Wei could continue, Su Yuan had already sensed a faint space fluctuation from somewhere in the room and turned to look.
“Hel, you have sharp senses. Wanting a Space Artifact Embryo… could it be you’re a Space Star Card Master, a rarity seen in many years?”
Elder Wei studied Su Yuan for a few moments, then got up and led Su Yuan and Duan to a display platform.
“Here, these three are the current Space Artifact Embryos. They have been shaped based on the properties of existing materials. Once we finalize them with specific Level 4 materials and refine them, they might elevate to Epic Star Artifacts if their spiritual power greatly increases.”
“Not bad,” Duan Tianzhi nodded slightly and said to Su Yuan, “Star Lord Su, take a look.”
