Chapter 23: Legendary Essence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wu Mo pondered for a moment but still said what was on his mind.
He felt that since Treasure Pavilion even had the Blessed Mithril, then the Legendary Essence should also be in stock!
However, when the other two people in the VIP room heard the words “Legendary Essence,” they were instantly stunned.
They stared at Wu Mo.
“Legendary Essence… Mr. Wu, are you going to refine Legendary-grade equipment?”
Manager Gao Yue widened his eyes and looked at Wu Mo.
Legendary Essence was an extremely precious material. It only existed in natural paradises on the entire continent. Any time Legendary Essence appeared, it would cause a huge uproar.
Such a spirit item was worth at least ¥3,000,000. Moreover, there was no market for it. Most of the time, people would exchange it for other items.
Money was hard to measure!
The only use Legendary Essence had was in the creation of Legendary equipment. So, how could the manager not be surprised when he heard Wu Mo say that he needed this item?
Although Mr. Wu had extremely strong forging skills, it was difficult enough to achieve four stars before the age of twenty.
If he wanted to forge Legendary equipment, he needed to reach at least Seven-star forging strength. No matter how talented Mr. Wu was, it was impossible for him to have such an ability!
As those thoughts plagued his mind, many questions formed in Gao Yue’s heart. When he contemplated whether he should ask them or not, Wu Mo opened his mouth first and said, “Manager Gao, you’ve misunderstood me. Actually, I just want to collect a portion of Legendary Essence, just in case I need it…”
Hearing Wu Mo’s explanation, it suddenly dawned on Gao Yue. However, he looked a bit embarrassed.
After hesitating for a while, he helplessly said, “Mr. Wu, I understand what you mean. However, we don’t have Legendary Essence in stock in our Treasure Pavilion, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to obtain it in a short time…”
Hearing the manager’s words, Wu Mo frowned. “Is that so? Don’t you have this material in your headquarters?” he asked in disappointment.
In order to forge the thunder god’s hammer, he had to increase the quality of the Legendary Essence. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to forge the product due to the lack of energy. Therefore, Legendary Essence was very important to him. If it was possible… he wanted to continue fighting for it.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mengyao looked at Wu Mo on the leather couch, her thoughts drifting far away.
Even though Wu Mo had explained why he needed the Legendary Essence, he could not hide his lie from Treasure Pavilion’s manager.
The last time Wu Mo became depressed was because he wanted to forge a Divine weapon. In the end, he fell into debt and locked himself up at home, studying all day long.
When Jiang Mengyao saw that Wu Mo had changed, she thought that he had really forgotten about his past goal. However, when he mentioned the Legendary Essence, Jiang Mengyao knew that Wu Mo had yet to let it go.
Once she understood that, Jiang Mengyao became nervous. She was afraid that Wu Mo’s energy and confidence were all fake; she was afraid that he would become depressed again!
She looked down at Wu Mo’s left hand, and an inexplicable feeling lingered in her heart.
“Sigh… Mr. Wu, let me tell you the truth. Actually, our Treasure Pavilion has been preparing for an auction, and we recently contacted a merchant who sells Legendary Essence. It’s just that, not long ago, there was a vicious competition between our Treasure Pavilion and another chamber of commerce. They deliberately raised their price by half and bought the Legendary Essence.”
Gao Yue, who was sitting across from Wu Mo, revealed a helpless expression as he shared the news that only the higher-ups knew about.
“As a result, the auction that we’ve been planning to hold can only be temporarily put on hold. Now, even if we were to transfer the goods from our headquarters, it would take at least a month…” Gao Yue spread his hands and explained.
‘A month? I don’t have that much time!’ Wu Mo thought to himself.
The Divine Arms Academy’s graduation assessment would be in half a month’s time. At that time, all the students would have to show off their forged equipment. If they did not have the Legendary Essence, his plan would be ruined, and all his previous preparations would have been in vain!
There was no time at all!
Thinking of that, Wu Mo slowly lowered his eyes. A moment later, he stood up from the couch and said with a smile, “Alright, I got it. When your pavilion has Legendary Essence in the future, just remember to let me know… Let’s go, Mengyao.”
Wu Mo pulled Jiang Mengyao up and walked out of the VIP room.
Manager Gao Yue immediately stood up and prepared to send them off.
The three of them had just traveled down the stairs when they saw the beautiful receptionist who had gone to prepare the materials. She walked over with two strong security guards behind her.
The security guards were carrying huge metal boxes as they followed her.
“Manager Gao, these are the materials that you ordered me to prepare earlier. Everything in stock is ready. There are still some materials that will arrive in three days,” the receptionist bowed to the three people and said respectfully.
Wu Mo released Jiang Mengyao’s hand and opened an iron box. He found that there were indeed some glowing materials inside, which were exactly what he needed.
“Manager Gao, here’s the deposit of ¥800,000. I will pay the rest once all the materials are ready.”
Wu Mo tapped his finger lightly, and there was a flash of white light. Soon after, eight silvery-white bills appeared out of thin air and landed steadily in Gao Yue’s hand.
“The Interspatial Ring!”
Looking at the paper and pen that suddenly appeared in his hand, Gao Yue immediately raised his head. When he saw the silver ring on Wu Mo’s finger, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously recalled the last time Wu Mo completed a transaction at Treasure Pavilion.
Gao Yue himself had also been there. He had personally witnessed the special effects of the Interspatial Ring, and it really shocked him at that time.
However, Gao Yue did not expect Wu Mo to have another one in his hand. He could not help but feel emotional.
“Mr. Wu, everything will be done according to your instructions!”
Gao Yue cupped his hands and looked at Wu Mo with admiration.
Seeing that the store manager had agreed, Wu Mo no longer hesitated. He swept up the two boxes of materials lightly and stored them in his Interspatial Ring.
The store manager felt even more envious when he witnessed his actions. The Interspatial Ring was incredibly useful. If he could have one, he would not have to send people to guard the precious materials hidden in the warehouse anymore. He could put them directly into the Interspatial Ring and save himself a lot of trouble!
“Take care, Consultant Wu…”
As he saw Wu Mo and the young woman preparing to leave, Gao Yue immediately bowed to send them off.
Once he was sure that they were gone from Treasure Pavilion, he stood up with a face full of emotions.
“Manager Gao, the transaction earlier was against the rules, right? He should have paid the full fees for the reserved materials. How could he only give a part of the deposit?”
The receptionist in professional attire walked up to Gao Yue and looked at the door where those two individuals had disappeared. She sounded a little concerned.
