Chapter 40: The capitalists would cry when they see it!
Ye Chen took the ring and looked at it carefully in his hand.
Elder Wang Changchun was quite nervous.
He shouldn’t be nervous in theory.
His refining level was definitely beyond the Saint Master’s reach.
Making a spirit tool storage ring was easy for him.
But he knew, Ye Chen wanted a ring that was not a traditional storage ring.
This one that he had researched for many days, combining the array patterns perfectly, could it satisfy Ye Chen?
Ye Chen looked at the ring and nodded. “Elder Wang is worthy of being a refining master. He combined the array patterns of the space ring and Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator perfectly. There is no conflict between them…
“The stability of this storage ring is several times higher than that of the storage rings sold outside.
“The space opens and the speed of storing items is also increased a lot.”Hearing Ye Chen’s praise, Elder Wang smiled.
“The function of the ring itself is generally fine.
“But there is one thing, that is, the appearance is too bad!”
Elder Wang was stunned…
Appearance?
He had already used dragon blood silver as Ye Chen requested.
At a glance, it was silver and shiny, much better looking than ordinary rings.
This was not enough?
Ye Chen smiled.
The material was fine. Dragon blood silver was already the main material for refining treasures and dao tools. Putting it on spiritual tools, the grade was high enough.
But the problem was that the design of the ring was too old-fashioned.
It was that kind of old-fashioned ring that had the word “fortune” or “wealth” engraved on the front, which was sold in small gold shops on the roadside in his previous life.
Square and cornery, very tacky.
Like a big nut.
There was no sense of refinement at all…
Ye Chen couldn’t accept this kind of aesthetics.
He thought for a while and said, “Elder Wang, the appearance of the ring needs to be redesigned.
“First of all, the ring can be made thinner, not so thick. A silver ring looks better when it’s thinner.
“Secondly, the space stone is wrapped in metal on top of the ring, bulging and heavy.
“Reduce the material on top, no longer choose to wrap the space stone completely, but expose half of it and embed it on the ring.
“The space stone is a pure blue gemstone. It matches well with the silver ring. It doesn’t look bad. It looks more high-end and has more layers.”
Ye Chen said his design out loud.
Everyone was confused…
Storage rings should wrap up the space stones, right?
Embed them on the rings?
This…
Too weird!
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Ye Chen knew that words were useless.
He simply raised his hand and asked for a piece of dragon blood silver and a space stone from Elder Wang.
Divine fire boiled.
The dragon blood silver was soon melted into silver iron water.
Ye Chen pointed with one finger.
The silver iron water began to flow and gradually gathered into a shape of a ring.
But this ring was not heavy, but rather slender.
Casually, the space stone flew on top of the ring and firmly embedded on it.
“Here, this is the style!”
Ye Chen refined this ring just as a sample.
It had no array patterns or functions.
But right now it was just used to show his design idea, which was enough.
Many elders looked at the ring and their eyes lit up.
This ring gave people a first impression that it was indeed good-looking.
The sky-blue space stone exposed most of it.
Combined with the silver light of dragon blood silver, it was beautiful and harmonious, complementing each other and creating a very elegant feeling.
With this change, there was no sense of heaviness at all.
Rings could actually be made like this?
They had to say, many who were not interested in spirit tool Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator before,
Now looking at the ring, they all had an impulse to buy one.
“It feels really different at once. I didn’t expect that space stones could be exposed like this. It’s really surprising!”
“Dragon blood silver shines brightly and doesn’t take away the limelight of the space stone, but rather make the space stone more crystal clear and complement each other.”
“My god, it’s so beautiful. If I can make it like this, I’ll buy one myself even if I have to pay for it!”
“It does look more high-end. If you put it next to an ordinary ring, this one sells for more, which is reasonable.”
“Don’t let my dao companion see it, or she’ll definitely want to buy it. I’ve been saving resources lately to prepare for breaking through to the late stage of Golden Core!”
Everyone was amazed.
Elder Wang was also convinced.
The same material, refined by himself and by the Saint Master,
They were completely different things.
The Saint Master changed it like this,
It looked perfect indeed.
But he hesitated for a moment and still said, “Saint Master, this design is indeed good-looking, but it will make the refining difficulty higher.
“After all, the space stone is not completely wrapped up.
“The original storage array pattern needs to be improved. The number of array patterns needs to be increased by at least one third to have the original effect!”
Array pattern engraving required concentration.
If there was a mistake, it would be scrapped directly.
In the cultivation world that always valued practicality, adding one third of array patterns for the sake of looking good would definitely make most refiners sneer.
After all, whether it looked good or not didn’t affect the function.
But the array patterns became more complicated and the refining difficulty became higher.
And Ye Chen didn’t care. He waved his hand and said, “The refining difficulty is higher, so be it. It’s good to hone the refining skills of the disciples in the sacred land. It’s too easy and there’s no effect.
“Besides, the higher refining difficulty can also be a reason for us to sell the spirit tool rings at a higher price!
“Even the price can be raised higher!”
Ye Chen’s words made all the elders silent…
Their Saint Master was amazing…
Anything could be a reason for selling at a higher price.
“As for the pricing,” Ye Chen thought for a while and then smiled slightly, “The spiritual tool ring with ten cubic meters of space sold by Great Mystery Sacred Land is priced at ten medium-grade spirit stones.
“Our Heavenly Origin Sacred Land doesn’t have our own space stone mine. We need to buy it from the outside. And we used the treasure level dragon blood silver.
“The cost alone is almost ten medium-grade spirit stones!
“And there’s labor cost. Refining spirit tools, the refiners outside can earn three to five medium-grade spirit stones. We are giving benefits to the disciples and motivating them, so we give them ten medium-grade spirit stones of contribution.
“So, the total cost is twenty medium-grade spirit stones!
“Then the selling price, let’s set it at one high-grade spirit stone.”
Ye Chen thought and set the price.
All the elders were depressed again.
A low-grade spiritual tool storage ring, Great Mystery Sacred Land only sold it for ten medium-grade spirit stones.
We just turned it up ten times?
Directly one high-grade spirit stone.
This…
One high-grade spirit stone was enough to buy a top-notch high-grade spiritual tool.
And even if you buy a storage ring and Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator separately,
It would only add up to eleven medium-grade spirit stones.
Would anyone really spend one high-grade spirit stone to buy it?
Even though Ye Chen’s theory of luxury goods made sense before,
But now hearing this price,
The elders couldn’t help but doubt…
Then they heard Ye Chen continue to say, “Only ten times the price, it’s not really a luxury item!
“But forget it!
“We’ll make some other series later, add some gimmicks that can sell at a high price, and then sell them even more expensive…”
All the elders: …
The sky-high price of one high-grade spirit stone, the Saint Master actually felt that he sold it cheaply?
This…
