Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating



85 Dragon Blood Crystal

Chu Shiyu was overjoyed when she heard that Chu Qinglin had agreed to help Lu Yu forge a weapon.

“Lu Yu, my Uncle Qinglin has agreed. Hurry up and take out your rare ores and then decide on a weapon,” Chu Shiyu said, beaming happily.

On hearing this, Lu Yu hurriedly opened the storage compartment of his interspatial ring and poured out all the rare ores he had obtained from the Earth Dragon’s lair.

Lu Yu himself didn’t know much about these rare ores.

Although he was already so old, Lu Yu was merely an ordinary team leader when he joined the military forces in his youth. He wasn’t qualified to know all these things.

Lu Yu didn’t recognize what these rare ores were, but he knew that they were extremely precious.

Lu Yu could even sense that some of them were extremely rare, while others contained terrifying energy within them that was truly extraordinary.

When Chu Qinglin heard this, he examined the ores with a disapproving expression and said, “What rare ores can a tiny satellite city like Lunan City produce? Let me see what you have here. And you can also tell me what weapon you want to forge.”

When Lu Yu initially joined the military forces, he mainly used sabers.

During this period of time, he had been using the Blood Emperor Battle Saber due to his familiarity with such weapons. Without thinking too much, he said, “It’s best if it’s a saber type of weapon.”

“Sabers, huh? That’s simple. I’ve forged at least 800 sabers, if not a thousand. I’m very familiar with them.”

Chu Qinglin nodded and continued to examine the ores.

However, in the next moment, Chu Qinglin’s expression changed slightly.

“The quality of your ores is not bad. Netherworld Premium Iron, Purple Golden Copper, and so on. These are all quite good rare ores. Although they aren’t especially rare, they’re still worthy of my attention,” Chu Qinglin said with an approving look.

However, when Chu Qinglin saw a blood-red gem, his expression changed drastically. He picked it up and examined it carefully. Then, he looked at Lu Yu and Chu Shiyu in surprise.

“Where did you get this gem? How can there be such a treasure in Lunan City?” Chu Qinglin asked with a shocked expression.

Lu Yu glanced at the blood-red gem. It had indeed been discovered in the deepest part of the Earth Dragon’s lair. At that time, Lu Yu had sensed that it contained a terrifying power and felt that this gem might be the most precious item in this batch of rare ores.

When Chu Shiyu heard this, she explained with a confused expression, “Is this gem very precious? I think Lu Yu found it in the lair of the Earth Dragon.”

“Earth Dragon? Is it that Earth Dragon in the depths of the mines located in the blood-sucking wasteland?” Chu Qinglin asked again.

“That’s right. Lu Yu has already killed that Earth Dragon. These rare ores were obtained from its lair, and so was this blood-red gem.” Chu Shiyu answered while nodding matter-of-factly.

Chu Qinglin glanced at Lu Yu in surprise.

The Earth Dragon was an S-class Fearsome Beast and was extremely powerful.

In front of a true expert, it might not be much.

However, in this blood-sucking wasteland, it was considered the absolute Boss. Very few people could defeat the Earth Dragon, let alone kill it.

Especially since the Earth Dragon was located deep in the inner parts of the blood-sucking wasteland. It was not easy to go deep into the blood-sucking wasteland.

After learning that this gem was obtained from the Earth Dragon’s lair, Chu Qinglin immediately understood.

“Then everything makes sense. I didn’t expect there to be such a precious treasure in this Earth Dragon’s territory.” Chu Qinglin said while nodding lightly.

When Chu Shiyu heard that, she asked with curiosity, “Uncle Qinglin, what exactly is this blood-red gem? Tell us quickly.”

Chu Qinglin nodded slightly and didn’t put on airs. He explained straightaway, “This blood-red gem is called the Dragon Blood Crystal. It contains the blood essence of the mighty dragon tribe and contains awfully immense power. From the quality of this Dragon Blood Crystal and the power contained within it, it should have already reached SS-class. It’s probably part of the Earth Dragon’s inheritance and has been nurtured for many years to reach such a level. It’s impossible for that one Earth Dragon alone to nurture such a powerful Dragon Blood Crystal all on his own.”

Lu Yu and the others were very surprised when they heard that.

Nobody thought that this could be an SS-class gem. The Earth Dragon was only an S-class beast, yet the Dragon Blood Crystal in its cave was actually of the SS-class.

S-class treasures were already considered terribly precious, let alone SS-class treasures.

Only then did Lu Yu understand why he felt that it contained an incredible power within, as well as a familiar sensation.

Since it contained the blood essence of the dragon tribe, naturally it possessed tremendous power.

Previously, Lu Yu had consumed the blood essence of the Earth Dragon. Although it was not as powerful as the dragon tribe’s blood essence contained within the Dragon Blood Crystal, it was still considered part of the same kind. That explained why he felt a sense of familiarity.

At this moment, Chu Shiyu looked at Chu Qinglin with joyous surprise. “Uncle Qinglin, if this Dragon Blood Crystal has already reached SS-class level, doesn’t that mean it can be used to forge SS-class weapons?”

When Lu Yu and the others heard this, they all turned to look at Chu Qinglin too.

Currently, Lu Yu’s weapon, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, had already reached A-class after absorbing plenty of high-grade blood.

A-class weapons were already extremely powerful, let alone SS-class weapons.

A regular S-class weapon was already incredibly powerful. The might of an SS-class weapon was even more unimaginable.

With Lu Yu’s current strength as a Great Grand Master, an A-class weapon was sufficient for him to unleash most of his strength.

If he had an S-class weapon, not only would he be able to unleash all of Great Grand Master Lu Yu’s full strength, but his combat strength would also increase by leaps and bounds.

With an SS-class weapon, he could unleash unspeakable horror.

In this tiny Lunan City, not a single S-class weapon could be found. They were like mythical treasures in some ancient legends. As for an SS-class weapon, no one had even heard of such things.

For example, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber that Lu Yu currently possessed had only reached S-class at its peak. At that level, it was able to leave behind such an illustrious legacy in the annals of history, so that showed how terrifying an S-class weapon already was.

At this moment, Chu Qinglin smiled and said, “What are you thinking? How can an SS-class weapon be forged so easily? Simply having an SS-class Dragon Blood Crystal isn’t enough. Moreover, my blacksmith shop isn’t well-equipped enough to forge an SS-class weapon. How can I forge an SS-class weapon in such a tiny place?”

“Okay.” Chu Shiyu sounded quite disappointed, but this news did not come as a surprise to her.

After all, it was difficult to forge an SS-class weapon even in the topmost preeminent forging workshop in the Chu family’s possession. The number of SS-class weapons the Chu family had forged over the years could be counted on one hand.

At this moment, Chu Qinglin continued. “It’s not enough to forge an SS-class weapon, but it’s still capable of forging an S-class weapon. Moreover, with this SS-class Dragon Blood Crystal, the S-class weapon produced will be much more powerful than the regular S-class weapons. I can keep this Dragon Blood Crystal intact in the forging process. You can use it in the S-class weapon first. When there’s a chance in the future, we can retrieve this Dragon Blood Crystal from there to forge a new SS-class weapon.”

Chu Shiyu, who had been a little disappointed earlier, immediately became overjoyed when she heard that.

“S-class weapons are enough too. Uncle Qinglin, quickly get started then. My friend is still waiting to use it tomorrow. You have to hurry!” Chu Shiyu egged him on urgently.

“You little wench! You really know how to cause trouble. Forget it, since I’ve already promised you, I’ll forge it for you guys overnight. I’ll have enough suffering tonight!”

Chu Qinglin shook his head as he said this. He then put away the Dragon Blood Crystal. He proceeded to select more material from the rare ores that Lu Yu had given him, then entered the workshop. He closed the door and began working on them.
