Su Yuan could see that from everyone present, beams of light representing fame were converging towards him.
These white lights contained True Name Power, feeding back vast amounts of Chaos True Intent insights, which began to propel his own realm comprehension forward!
He could also see that beyond the wine leaks, there were also beams of light connecting and pointing towards his location!
Clearly, what had happened here was gradually spreading to the outside world; his fame was beginning to spread!
This kind of harvest was what Su Yuan truly wanted to see. As for the Divine Source Wine in his hand, it seemed secondary by comparison!
After Su Yuan sat back down, the Dominators around his seat all saluted him, chatted, and tried to get closer. Su Yuan responded to each with a smile, appearing completely at ease.
"Master Seven Stars, I am Zeng An. I wish to refine a twenty-seventh-order Chaos range-restraint type Dominator Artifact. I wonder if the Master can forge it? The price is negotiable!"
A Chaos Dominator nearby immediately sent a sound transmission with a smile.
Su Yuan was surprised. He hadn't expected a custom commission to come knocking so quickly, right after just showcasing a portion of his ability.
"Possible. We can discuss the specific details in detail at my shop after the banquet concludes."
"Excellent! I shall return with you, fellow Daoist, for a detailed discussion after the banquet ends!"
This Chaos Dominator replied with great satisfaction.
Su Yuan was also very satisfied. Someone needing a twenty-seventh-order Chaos Dominator Artifact naturally possessed personal strength above the twenty-seventh order themselves. In Black Flame City, this was considered upper-tier. This commission was exceptionally rare.
After Su Yuan, Master Youhe invited another six artificers to take the stage to refine Chaos Dominator Artifacts and brew Divine Source Wine.
Unfortunately, none after Su Yuan produced a Supreme-Grade Divine Source Wine like his. The highest was the twenty-fifth-order Supreme-Grade Chaos Dominator Artifact forged by Master Qinglin, which did dazzle the crowd for a moment. However, with Su Yuan's peerless jade setting the standard first, it appeared rather ordinary by comparison.
Nevertheless, Su Yuan gained immense benefits from drinking the Divine Source Wine brewed by these others. The Chaos True Intent insights and forging comprehension contained within the wine differed greatly between artificers, each having their own strengths. The inspiration they provided Su Yuan was also enormous!
He rapidly absorbed, organized, and summarized it all. His understanding of the path of artifact forging became more comprehensive, basically mastering the mainstream forging techniques!
During this same period, three more Dominators sent sound transmissions to Su Yuan to discuss forging matters, which Su Yuan accepted one by one.
Thus, a full four commissions had come his way!
The smallest was still a deal worth millions of trillions. The expected gains were absolutely staggering!
Seeing that all eight had finished their forging, Master Youhe said with a smile, "The first stage of this banquet has now concluded. Everyone has witnessed the forging processes of the various Masters. You may now share your own experiential insights with each other. If you have any questions, you may also personally seek guidance from the various Masters."
Hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.
This was the second stage of the event. Artificers from the tenth to the nineteenth order were actually considered Primary-Level Forging Masters. Those from the twentieth to the twenty-ninth order were Intermediate-Level Forging Masters, while those above the thirtieth order were Advanced-Level Forging Masters.
A difference of a single order was significant, let alone a difference of an entire level.
The gap between a Primary-Level Forging Master and an Intermediate-Level Forging Master was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud. The gap between Primary and Advanced levels was even greater.
The level Su Yuan had displayed had basically stepped onto the threshold of an Advanced-Level Forging Master. Many people wanted to seek his guidance.
At this moment, Master Chongxiao was the first to stand up. He cupped his hands towards Su Yuan and said, "Master Seven Stars, I am Chongxiao, formally paying my respects to you. Having witnessed your forging process earlier, I gained many insights, but I also have numerous doubts. May I seek your guidance on a point or two?"
Su Yuan waved his hand. "Master Chongxiao, there's no need for such formality. Since I have participated in this banquet, I am naturally willing to share my insights. I will hold nothing back and speak exhaustively! Please, fellow Daoist, sit and speak. My insights are merely one perspective; please judge and interpret them yourself."
Chongxiao was delighted and immediately said, "I am currently stuck at the level of forging twenty-fifth-order Supreme-Grade Dominator Artifacts. I cannot advance the order, nor can I improve the quality. The forging process feels somewhat obscure, but I am not entirely clear on where the problem lies. Can Master Seven Stars resolve my confusion?"
He immediately transformed his entire forging process into a three-dimensional time-space image, directly displaying it before Su Yuan's eyes, playing it back at accelerated speed.
Su Yuan looked over, his gaze thoughtful.
The [Daoist Techniques Naturally] trait activated, transforming these forging processes into numerous insights, enriching his own forging experience.
By the time he finished watching the entire forging process, he had simultaneously mastered all of Chongxiao's techniques. On that foundation, he identified shortcomings, filled gaps, innovated upon the old methods, created new forging approaches, and sought perfection.
The [Once Proved, Forever Proved] trait had been passively activating all along. Every iota of his progress was permanently solidified. As long as it was effective, it could be fixed by the [Once Proved, Forever Proved] trait.
This allowed Su Yuan to easily distinguish which parts were erroneous fallacies and which were correct and feasible.
After Su Yuan selected the [Once Proved, Forever Proved] trait, it seemed to have an extremely low appearance rate. However, the incredible aspect of this trait was that it had been silently helping Su Yuan progress continuously!
While watching Chongxiao's forging process, the effect of this trait was too direct and rapid, forcing Su Yuan to take a glance at this [Once Proved, Forever Proved] trait.
After the viewing concluded, Su Yuan closed his eyes, absorbing, comprehending, organizing, and summarizing all the insights, transforming them into something he could use.
Master Chongxiao watched Su Yuan with immense anticipation, waiting for his explanation.
Meanwhile, the others also silently memorized Master Chongxiao's forging process for later contemplation. For Primary-Level Forging Masters, Master Chongxiao's forging process was the most perfect standard answer, sufficient for them to ponder deeply for a long time.
This was also the first time many had seen Master Chongxiao's full capabilities so directly.
This opportunity was simply too rare. Coincidentally, Su Yuan's recent forging technique was similar to Chongxiao's. Coincidentally, Su Yuan's ability surpassed Chongxiao's. This made Master Chongxiao disregard any thought of hiding his shortcomings. He was extremely eager to obtain Su Yuan's guidance and didn't want to miss this chance!
Many forging masters inwardly cheered with excitement while also looking at Su Yuan expectantly.
If they could also obtain the guidance and opinions Su Yuan provided, and then compare them with Master Chongxiao's forging process, they would undoubtedly gain enormous benefits.
After a short while, Su Yuan opened his eyes and nodded at Master Chongxiao. "I have identified the root of your problem."
Master Chongxiao asked expectantly, "Where is the issue?"
Su Yuan shook his head. "It's not a matter of 'where' the problem is."
"Then...?" Master Chongxiao was taken aback.
"The problem is that *everywhere* has issues!" Su Yuan stated flatly.
"That... that can't be possible, right?" Master Chongxiao was dumbfounded.
