The stir caused by the appearance of this new brand lasted quite a while, but eventually it began to die down as people started getting used to them.

For now, they had only covered three fields, offering a sort of temporary relief to the other competitors, who at first thought they’d spread to other areas too, snatching up a good chunk of the market and customers, but that didn’t happen.

Atleast, not yet.

Thanks to Zhu Rong’s help, Old Han was able to keep walking down his path and successfully became a Master Blacksmith at the initial stages.

It might have seemed like a small step if you considered the goal Zhu Rong had set for him,

but this step was more than enough to make Old Han happy, as he’d been stuck at that same point for nearly a decade already.

Seeing that his skills had finally taken a step forward reignited his hunger for growth and improvement, pushing him to work in the forge with newfound passion.

And before long, he managed to create a Grade 3 Spirit rank weapon, the highest rank he’d ever reached so far,

and that was exactly what helped him earn the title of Master Blacksmith.

He was basically starting to make a name for himself within the pavilion, and under his guidance, even the forging department had begun to become more and more efficient,

reaching the point of producing at least one Grade 1 Spirit rank weapon a day, something that was pretty impressive in itself.

Normally, even a single Spirit rank weapon could take several days, if not a whole week to make.

But Old Han didn’t stop at just producing them, he also started teaching others, both the new and old workers, helping with the production and speeding up the weapon crafting process.

They weren’t making Grade 3 ones, but even Grade 1 was more than enough, and seeing the progress of his team, he believed it wouldn’t take long before they’d be able to help him craft higher grade weapons,

eventually reaching Grade 3 themselves, which would also open up the possibility of them becoming Master Blacksmiths too.

If another blacksmith or organization saw how fast they were improving, they’d probably slap themselves a few times just to check if they were dreaming.

And it wasn’t just this department, even the alchemy and talisman divisions were starting to have more and more people, with Zhu Rong slowly starting to take a step back,

letting others handle everything while he continued to give them lessons, steadily improving their skills bit by bit.

Work efficiency kept going up, and so did the skill level of his workers.

At some point, Zhu Rong’s daily income exceeded 20 high grade spirit stones, a huge number for a business that was still in its early stages.

Considering the production costs and the salaries he paid his staff, he was left with less than 10 high grade spirit stones, still not a small amount by any means.

Eventually, he stopped participating actively and dedicated himself completely to his cultivation.

The trip to the mine was just around the corner, and he wanted to reach a good cultivation level before that day came.

Currently, in one of the high level cultivation chambers of the pavilion,

Zhu Rong was sitting cross legged at the center of the chamber, but this time, instead of sitting on the floor, he was levitating above it, while a faint aura covered his body from head to toe.

His hair floated slightly in the air, and his eyes were shut tight in deep meditation.

From the outside, everything looked calm, but inside his dantian, things were the exact opposite.

Zhu Rong had been cultivating day and night recently, and it had been nearly two weeks since his last breakthrough.

During that time, he managed to create his fifth elemental core,

the Metal element.

Unlike the other natural elements for which he had already some beast cores, this one was harder, since he didn’t have a direct source of Metal elemental Qi.

Creating it naturally using only the Qi present in the surroundings was much harder, as the density of that element was much lower in this region of the empire.

That’s why most people preferred to use beast cores or other elemental Qi sources for cultivation,

since the pure, natural Qi present in the environment always contained only faint traces of elements, especially ones like Wood, Metal, Ice, and Lightning.

It wasnt worth wasting time cultivating these elements without a proper source of elemental Qi, it would have required an enormous amount of time and effort.

Even Liang Yuexin, now that she had reached the fourth stage, was having a hard time cultivating her Lightning element due to the lack of a proper source.

She had managed to push her cultivation base to the peak of the fourth stage, but doing the same for her elemental cultivation was becoming difficult.

Her only saving grace was that she had a personal stash of wealth she was using to buy resources for that element.

If not for that, she would have once again hit a bottleneck, not because of her ability, but simply because she lacked the proper resources.

That said, if Zhu Rong didn’t have the technique of Elemental Extremes of Dao, he wouldn’t have wasted time cultivating that element,

he would’ve just gone out and found a beast core with that attribute instead.

But luckily for him, this cultivation technique increased a person’s natural affinity with the elements,

and as a result, drawing in various elemental energies from the surrounding Qi became faster and easier for him.

He had spent almost an entire week gathering enough Metal elemental Qi to form the core, and finally, once he succeeded, cultivating that element became much smoother and faster.

He spent the following week raising the cultivation stage of that core, and little by little, he did the same with the others as well.

Finally, after two weeks of intense cultivation, he managed to reach the peak of the second stage,

with almost all of his cores also reaching the peak of the second stage.

Reaching this point within that time frame, with five elemental cores inside his dantian alone, had been a challenge on its own,

but the real challenge was just about to begin.
