God's Eyes Chapter 905 - Deal

Chapter 905 - Deal
After thoroughly inspecting the spear whose entire shaft and blade were coated in a mixture of several blue tones, the blacksmith couldn't help but nod his head in awe.
"Impressive…very impressive!! It is made of perfectly purified tanadan ore at the Peak of the Prismar grade, mixtures with runes that were engraved using an inscription solution that has the ice elemental crystal as its base material.
This is definitely a Mythical weapon at the Peak of the Prismar grade!"
Flicking his eyes from Jason to the spear that was resting in his hands, the blacksmith couldn't help but be astonished.
The runes that had been engraved on the spear blade and shaft were not exactly the best, and they could be improved.
However, that didn't really matter because the runes' potency increased by more than 250% just because they had been engraved on the best possible spots throughout the length of the spear.
Choosing to engrave the runes on the intersections and knots of the cultivation veins inside the tanadan ore, Jason had outbalanced the slight disadvantage of his limited knowledge about runes.
This impressed the blacksmith, who couldn't believe that Jason took only two hours to forge this weapon.
Under normal circumstances, the heating process alone took longer, and even after owning a fire affinity, it would take more than two hours to purify any kind of Peak Prismar grade ore perfectly!
Yet, Jason had only disappeared inside the forge for two hours before reappearing.
He was sweating profusely while holding the spear that focused on enhancing the ice affinity.
First, the blacksmith was not sure what kind of ores and inscription solution Jason had used, but after experimenting with it a little bit, everything began to make sense.
"You have an origin flame, a strong one at that, don't you? If that's not the case, is it a source flame? An abyssal flame?"
After Jason had piqued the blacksmith's interest, it was difficult for him to hold back.
He was sure that his experience was even greater than Jason's age.
As such, it was obvious that the blacksmith knew what kind of terrifying talent the young man who was standing in front of him had!
"Are you interested in spending some more time within my blacksmith store? I have the biggest blacksmith shop, and I'm the highest-ranked blacksmith here. However, I doubt that this will interest you.
Instead, let me ask you this- Do you want to exhibit your weapons at my store? I will give you 75%...no 85% of the profit as long as you use your own materials. If you need expensive materials we can make it half and half.
How about it? Do you like this offer?"
Jason liked the straightforward deal of the blacksmith, which caused him to smile lightly as he nodded his head.
"I like that. But before we go ahead, please provide me with more information about the citizen's needs. It wouldn't be helpful if I were to forge hundreds of longswords that aim to enhance a specific attribute if nobody needs swords, let alone the attribute enhancing traits!"
By receiving more information, Jason wanted to understand the demand and supply ratio and attract the majority of citizens who were in need of a powerful weapon.
If used properly, the weapons he forged were even strong enough to injure beasts at the Ascendion stage.
For the majority of people, this might still be a little bit weak, but over the course of time, they would realize that the true might of his weapons was not limited to the blade's strength.
After all, one could insert tremendous amounts of energy into the blade, enhancing each of their characteristics several times over, while the same applied to the affinity that will guide the use of an affinity if used proficiently.
As such, even beings at the Mid Ascendion stage could be killed with the use of his weapon, and for some Cultivators, it might even have a use afterward.
With that in mind, Jason knew that attracting more customers, to be specific, those who would freely share their thoughts and critique of his weapon, was the most important.
However, first he had to forge a handful of weapons, which wouldn't take that long.
This was mostly owing to the fact that Solaris was able to purify tanadan ore by itself.
Jason hadn't known this beforehand, but while he had learned to forge, Solaris had always paid attention to every single step he performed.
Because of that, Solaris transformed into a dwarf-like human and enveloped the raw tanadan ore with its flames before inserting them in the ore, avoiding to use an extreme temperature, which would damage the veins.
Simultaneously heating up the tanadan ore to the same temperature, it was quickly turned into a perfectly purified mass only for Solaris to continue purifying the ores Jason had.
This was simply madness, and by manifesting a black flame, Jason's only task was to either shape the tanadan metal into an ingot or to start forming the weapons he was visualizing in his mind.
In the end, the teamwork of his and Solaris in terms of forging was far better and in sync than Jason could have ever imagined.
As such, even if he had been a little bit rusty upon making the first few hammer strikes, everything seemed to work as per his plan.
Jason found that everything was perfect, even more so with Solaris' great talent to find the perfect temperature to expel the oxygen and impurities from the ores.
Considering all of these things Jason realized that it was a good enough reason to accept the blacksmith's offer, the only thing he felt slightly unfair about was the 50-50 profit split upon using expensive materials.
Under normal circumstances, one would simply pay the agreed share of the net profit to the creator of the sold goods.
However, by splitting it into two equal halves, the blacksmith made much more profit.
Nevertheless, Jason didn't disagree with the blacksmith's approach because he knew that he would always use his own materials.
Purchasing all kinds of other materials was also important because he didn't have that many ingredients for different inscription solutions, but that was perfectly fine.
After all, he ought to make a big fortune soon.
This would be the case once the blacksmith provided him with a proper logbook about the weapons that were in demand, and the rough estimate for goods that had been actively sought for during the last six months.
The Yinar race was not known for their overly powerful weapons or prodigious forging talent.
But what they were lacking they more than made up for with their cultivation that was tremendous owing to the fact that they cultivated with Soul force, to begin with.
Being able to strengthen their entire being just by using Soul force to cultivate was quite helpful.
However, that was not all because having bound certain wandering souls would enhance the circulation speed of Soul force, or increase the amount of Soul force that could be absorbed at a time.
This was quite advantageous for them, and after taking everything into consideration, Jason was easily able to come up with a proper plan to forge specific weapons for the Yinar race.
They had an acute shortage of all types of weapons, but in the end, there were a few types that were in high demand quite often.
'Light longswords…alright….but why does nobody demand soul weapons? Don't they have those?'
