Chapter 930: Chapter 499: The Era of Legendary Equipment

The research facility for the development of Strange Implements was not located in the Forging Workshop.

Instead, it was situated underneath the base, in a spacious area where quirky vines had been planted.

Here, dozens of top researchers within the organization had gathered.

This included Liu Ji and Liu Meng from the planting department, as well as Long Junji, Han Xie, and others from the forging department. Although they had only begun learning the professional skills of the mysterious aspects from scratch, with the guidance of leading industry professionals and access to the most cutting-edge equipment, their progress was naturally swift.

Now, they were no less capable than the chief researchers of many super Oases.

After all, most chief researchers in super Oases were only at the level of the Six Senses, while Han Xie and his peers were mythical. A mythical thinker’s speed of thought, memory, and logical abilities far exceeded that of the Six Senses, providing a substantial advantage in learning.

But the majority of mythical presences were extremely rare among powers.

They had to be stationed in Oases; they needed to spend a significant amount of time and effort on the development of Abilities and on cultivation and improvement, leaving no spare time to delve into side disciplines.

Having strong logical thinking abilities doesn’t equate to being a study buff or a genius scholar.

If one’s learning ability was only 0.01 before ascending to mythical status, even after improving by tens or dozens of times post-ascension, it wouldn’t be particularly high.

Yiluo Xi was the most typical example of this; even as she was on her way to ascending to higher ranks, she remained a complete academic slacker.

Naturally, Master Wang Chui and Liu Chang were also present.

To Fang You’s surprise, Silver Bell was also there.

The ’big three’ leaders of the Salamander Organization’s life occupation had all assembled.

Master Wang Chui touched his shiny bald head that could reflect light and said, "The biggest challenge in producing standard-issue Legendary Strange Implements lies in the main materials. We believe, if we could find a type of Legendary-level main material that can be obtained in large quantities, we would be able to conquer the greatest difficulty in the research and development process."

"However, the idea of mass-procuring Legendary-level main materials seems impossible. After much consideration, we set our sights on plant materials."

Simply because, with treasures like the special soil and the Tree of Life of Yiduola, Salamander has an advantage in plant cultivation that even dominant powers can hardly match.

Having the God Crystal of the Forest Seed which can spontaneously generate various mysterious plants, Salamander is not short on plant specimens to attempt.

This is an advantage that ought to be utilized.

Plant and Wood Series materials also represent a major category among materials, and Master Wang Chui was no stranger to them.

However, he was quite unfamiliar with plant cultivation and directed evolution.

That was Liu Chang’s domain.

Despite this plan being for the creation of Legendary Strange Implements, Liu Chang was responsible for more aspects of the research process.

With a slight bow, she began her narration.

Her voice was like a lone, ethereal existence in a secluded bamboo forest that brought cool relief on a scorching summer day. Unfortunately...

When it came to professional domains, once Liu Chang started talking, it would go on for hours without interruption.

Fang You opened his mouth but didn’t interject.

Master Wang Chui discreetly wiped off sweat, clearly very familiar with Liu Chang’s procedures – he had heard these research processes more than once.

’Liu Chang is still as thorough as ever.’ Fang You thought to himself.

And he was listening carefully.

Before, he found it hard to bear Miss Liu’s earnestness because he couldn’t understand the professional jargon.

Now, although he very much wanted to skip directly to the results, he could still clearly understand the arcane terminology in Liu Chang’s speech.

Apart from requiring a higher degree of professionalism, Liu Chang’s narrative logic was very clear, one point connected to the next logically.

Fang You omitted some details and arrived at his conclusion.

Initially, Liu Chang used her expertise and innate skills, as well as core Techniques, to directly evolve a Strange Implement called ’Polar Frost Wood,’ which she handed over to Master Wang Chui for forging.

Soon after, a Legendary weapon was produced.

However, the forged Legendary weapon was only suitable for a few mythical beings.

Although Liu Chang had the capacity to cultivate Polar Frost Wood, the process demanded vast amounts of time, energy, and materials.

She had to be personally involved.

This round of research wasn’t successful, but they did manage to ’cultivate’ several Legendary weapons.

The research was not entirely in vain.

In the second phase, Liu Chang began to research materials for armor.

Despite weapons having a more significant impact on a mythical being’s combat strength, armor was more universally applicable. Liu Chang started her research with the vine materials she was most familiar with, and after some time, she cultivated another ’Strange Implement.’

She was able to forge the Legendary Strange Implement known as ’Blood Vine Armor.’

This Strange Implement had a very wide range of applicability and also possessed some offensive capability, making it quite suitable as a ’standard-issue Legend.’

But it faced the same issue – cultivation cost.

Of course, the research wasn’t a complete failure.

Even though the wealth and time required to cultivate the main material for Blood Vine Armor were not insignificant, on the whole, the cost to produce a piece of Blood Vine Armor was much lower than buying from other dominant powers.

However, the production rate for Blood Vine Armor was still not high.

This is because such targeted cultivation and evolution depended on the Legendary Ability, Tree of Life. It required Liu Chang or Fang You to personally undertake the process to cultivate it.

The human labor costs were too high.

This research phase occurred about half a year ago.

Back then, Fang You had also discussed with Liu Chang, and they decided to create a lower-tier Technique to replace the Tree of Life.

He succeeded, but not completely.

The Technique was named ’Hand of Growth,’ an epic-tier purely auxiliary, farming-oriented skill with some capabilities for targeted mutation and acceleration.

A mythical being using the Hand of Growth could indeed cultivate specific Legendary main materials, but the time taken would be several times longer and would require more resources.

All in all, Blood Vine Armor could barely be considered a standard-issue Legendary Strange Implement.

However, Instructor Fang wasn’t very satisfied.

And neither was Liu Chang.

Thus, the third edition of the standard Legendary equipment’s research and development began anew.

Liu Chang said, "...In the end, we decided to select ’living materials’ as the primary material for the Strange Implement."

She took out a vine.

The vine was blood-red, somewhat similar to the blood vines from before.

Only, the blood vines were cultivated objects, harvested and dead. But this vine was a living thing; even without intelligence, it was filled with a potent life force.

"The Luo Yun Vine possesses immense tenacity and regenerative capabilities, making it extremely suitable for armor crafting. This particular Luo Yun Vine is currently of top epic quality, but if it’s refined with blood, mental energy, and life force, it could potentially advance to Legendary tier."

This idea, Liu Chang adapted from the path to higher ranks.

One of her conditions for ascending in rank was similar to Liu Feng, both requiring sacrifices and promotions. Liu Feng needed to craft his own lifebound sword by sacrifices, while Liu Chang needed to nurture her own lifebound plant.

"However, how to forge a living plant into a Strange Implement is the challenge we currently face."

Liu Chang only knew about plant cultivation.

Master Wang Chui only knew about Strange Implement forging. The Luo Yun Vine armor he crafted had become a dead object.

Silver Bells... Silver Bells was just making up the numbers.

She enhanced the vitality of the Luo Yun Vine by refining some essence, allowing the vine to carry negative effects during attacks.

But in terms of fusing living plants with equipment materials, Silver Bells was not up to the task.

So, Instructor Fang came along.

Fang You didn’t match Liu Chang in plant cultivation, nor Master Wang Chui in Strange Implement forging, but he had a little bit of understanding in everything.

He had already become Fang · Master of All Classes · You!

He picked up a Luo Yun Vine and then activated the Tree of Life skill to carefully probe into it.

He also loaded Master Wang Chui’s core skill ’Heavenly Creation’, and in an instant, his view of the world changed.

Lines and textures emerged, the flow of energy became clearer.

After thinking, Fang You loaded Silver Bells’ core skill ’Fairy Spirit Medicinal Body’ as well and brought out, one after another, auxiliary materials.

There were no Legendary Level Materials, but he had a good twenty or thirty kinds of Epic materials.

In his design, the created Strange Implement would only be of top Epic level, or, put another way, a half-step Legendary.

This could promote to Legendary Strange Implement in the shortest time.

By doing so, it would also reduce cost and the cultivation time of plants.

It could be described as perfect.

"But how do you twine all these things together into one lump?"

Silver Bells poked at the vine.

The vines extending from it suddenly retracted, coiling into a tight ball, seemingly trembling in fright.

Silver Bells: "?"

You weren’t like this just now in Liu Chang’s arms!

Fang You picked up the vine. The rich life force made the vine ball snuggle into his arms.

He entered a higher perspective.

Each material shone with the luster of treasures, floating and sinking around him.

"The principle is much like the fusion skill."

"If that’s the case..."

Force of Destiny, give it a try!

...

One month later,

Living armor had been successfully created.

He named it Luo Yun Vine Armor. On the surface, it appeared to be just a bundle of vines, but once a drop of essence blood is used to form a contract, the vine would swiftly transform into armor that clings to the wearer.

And because of the contract, the wearer could continue to refine this Strange Implement, aiding its promotion to Legendary tier.

This was truly mass-produceable standard Legendary Strange Implement that wasn’t costly and didn’t have a long production cycle!

There was only one flaw.

Normal Legendary Strange Implements could be heirlooms passed down for thousands of years. But Luo Yun Vine Armor, requiring an essence blood pact, could only have one user in its lifetime.

If the user falls in battle, the armor perishes with them.

But compared to the advantages, this flaw was insignificant.

Instructor Fang looked on with a touch of envy; he didn’t have any impressive Legendary armors either.

"Not bad, next we’ll focus on cultivating Luo Yun Vines and seek to acquire and purchase the corresponding auxiliary materials, aiming to forge a thousand pieces within a year."

"Also, the development of standard weapons must not stop."

The three leaders nodded in agreement.

Powerful cultivators like Liu Ji and Liu Ru could cultivate Epic grade vines, but Liu Chang still took charge, constantly refining and improving the cultivation methods.

Master Wang Chui started to optimize forging methods and aimed to train as many Luo Yun Vine Armor smiths as possible.

Silver Bells... let’s skip that part.

Fang You and Liu Chang worked tirelessly for over a month, consuming a multitude of materials and God Crystals, and finally, the valuable experiment bore fruit—several Legendary tier Luo Yun Vines.

Fang You took one of them, personally crafted the highest standard vine armor,

And consecrated it with countless treasures, essence blood, and laws.

One day, his armor might even transform into a Deity Demon weapon.

Henceforth,

Oasis had entered the era of Legendary equipment.
