Since learning about dragons, Li Ang has had a strange feeling about all dragons, especially after nearly being captured by some presence when infiltrating the Magic Power Dimension last time, coupled with witnessing the Fairy Dragon Breeding Institute yesterday. He's always felt that dealing with dragons requires utmost caution.

Falo continued, "The name of the Dome Furnace Association itself was derived from the concept of the Creation Cauldron. This time, everyone is eager to find it."

She carefully held the Staff of Yidai, ensuring it didn't touch anything.

"It's said that once activated, the central forge of the Creation Cauldron can instantly craft a Treasure Artifact."

Falo softly said, "This sounds like a myth, but artisans want to know if it's just a description or a reality. If it's real, how is it achieved?"

"Eventually, in some ancient texts, we found that the Creation Cauldron pre-casts a mold and then fuses it with other materials to create a Treasure Artifact."

Douding pointed to the Staff of Yidai: "Ordinary molds can't just add materials randomly. I've always wondered what kind of thing can do that. Looking at it, I suddenly thought of those things just mentioned."

When narrating about the Creation Cauldron, Farlonio scarcely even used her usual speech habits.

"This was dug out from my family's treasure vault," Elaphia said.

This was one of the reasons agreed upon earlier to conceal the true origin of the Decaying Weapon.

"The Infinite Martial Hall of the Alma Clan?"

You could tell Falo didn't fully believe it, but outwardly accepted this explanation.

"You're not showing this to me with the intention for me to try crafting a Treasure Artifact based on it, are you?"

"Exactly."

Falo's face suddenly turned serious: "I wouldn't refuse such a thing, you know."

"That's our intention."

"But…"

"Can we not pay the reward?" Li Ang calculated that he could provide the Purest Water Star Crystal and the Refined Source Crystal. The amount of those crystals was quite substantial, maybe it could serve as the reward.

At this level, ordinary Adventurer Coins aren't really considered money.

Merchant Douding said, "It's hard to quantify, you know."

Elaphia added, "With such a good opportunity to practice, and extremely cherished materials for you to use, isn't it you who owes us?"

"You?" Falo squinted.

"Ahem."

The Blondie Douding quickly turned her head away.

Her sea-blue eyes met the unsatisfied expressions of the Star Flower Travel Corps members. Douding suddenly felt devoid of dignity, stepping on her Flying Sword to fly aside, then bumping into one of Falo's weapon displays.

The ornate decorative Curved Saber fell to the ground, shattering instantly.

Falo shouted, "Ah, that's my treasure, you know! Compensate me!"

"Pay up! Pay up!" the little green Dragon shouted along.

Elaphia's expression gradually calmed: "This is just something you put in the shop for people to bump into."

The young girl twirled her fingers, and the fragments reassembled into a Curved Saber, flying back to the display shelf, perfectly restored by her Blade Master abilities.

"Hmph, no need for Aifei to remind me, I was going to mention this anyway."

Farlonio looked at Li Ang: "Mr. Li Ang, the previous invitation from the Dome Furnace Association can be combined with this."

Douding's face showed a shrewd merchant's smile.

She looked at Zoe and the others: "Do you know who the members of the Dome Furnace Association are?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just like my ancestor Ernest, who became immensely wealthy young with his craftsmanship, each member of the Dome Furnace Association is a skilled artisan, and worldly pursuits no longer hold value for them.

"What they seek throughout their lives now is to find the method to craft Treasure Artifacts and bring them back into the world."

Falo mischievously said, "Rather than hoping on me, let me lead and hand this opportunity to the Dome Furnace Association; every Grand Artisan will certainly do their utmost to vie for this chance. Not only would they not ask for recompense, they might even agree to some outrageous demands."

"That's a good thing," Dorothy hurriedly said, "We have the key materials, winner takes all."

"Still as mischievous," Aifei said as she floated in mid-air, arms crossed, "If it ends well, I have no objections."

Li Ang thought, indeed, this could work.

The main thing is, such good opportunities don't always come around; it depends on fate.

He thought of the ten parliamentarians and the four major Celestial Groups. Although most would follow the Speaker's advice, some might have the same idea as Li Ang and attempt to realize it.

Li Ang believed he was quick to act. The exquisite equipment creation skills he gained from the system, which led to Falo's introduction, was one factor; another was these Treasure Level materials.

Precious materials are not so easy to acquire. After a week fighting in the desert, the Celestial Group must return to rest a while. During this battle, they might obtain a large quantity of Monster Material as a group, but the quality couldn't be guaranteed.

Even the desert doesn't abound with 7th Tier monsters, and the creatures produced there, different from those monsters already part of the world's ecosystem, have incomplete bodies and low material yields.

So, after a week, typically a group would only obtain twenty to thirty pieces of 7th Tier materials.

Crafting Exquisite Equipment often consumes more than a dozen pieces of material, and success isn't guaranteed. The reliable Dome Furnace Association limits their orders, so one must compete for a slot.

These materials also need to be compatible with each other.

Li Ang glanced at Zoe, who didn't know why he was looking, but just smiled back.

Thanks to her, whether Purest Star Crystal or Refined Source Crystal, all were obtained through surpassing the efforts of an average Celestial Group. Perhaps only findings from deep within the Tower of the Abyss can compare with these two materials, and those might not even be suitable for equipment creation.
