248: Black Hole Rune

“A Black Hole Rune?” Xiao Fan’s expression shifted slightly, because the name sounded very Heaven-Defying.

“That’s right.” Bai Duojin said in a deep voice, “A Black Hole Rune, as the name suggests, involves a black hole and a rune.”

“The main Materials for this weapon are crystallized Black Hole Power extracted from the outer reaches of a black hole.”

“What!?” Xiao Fan was shocked, because in his understanding, black holes had always been synonymous with terror and death. Let alone extracting power from them, wasn’t it impossible to even get close?

“Humans can now extract power from black holes?”

Bai Duojin sighed, “That’s right, but to achieve this, we humans spent a full three hundred years, countless manpower and Material resources, and countless people died outside the black hole. Even a Martial Emperor almost lost his life. Finally, a year ago, we achieved results.”

“Shao Tianhua intends to use this crystallized Black Hole Power to forge your weapon.”

“And it’s not a weapon in the traditional sense, but a rune.”

“This goes beyond the scope of Artifact Refining; it also requires the help of the most top-tier Array Masters.”

“But now these are not problems. The problem is that the Black Hole Power has too, too much mass.”

“At least someone of the Martial God Realm can pick up this crystal. With your current situation, you absolutely cannot bear it, because the final step for this ‘weapon’ is to directly brand the rune into your body.”

“But this weapon is prepared for the Dignity Battle, and it’s impossible for you to break into the Martial God Realm in these short four years.”

“Moreover, even if you really reach the Martial God Realm, it’s useless. If the problem of excessive mass cannot be solved, it will only be a burden to you.”

“As your father-in-law said, it’s not a qualified weapon at all.”

“Therefore, we must reduce its mass without affecting the Black Hole Crystal’s inherent power structure!”

“There are many methods, but none are good enough to reduce the mass to a range he is satisfied with.”

“But the immaculate spiritual crystal can!”

“Your father-in-law is a perfectionist. In his eyes, only the immaculate spiritual crystal is worthy of becoming part of this weapon.”

Speaking of this, Bai Duojin sighed, his voice full of regret: “The immaculate spiritual crystal was produced in a mysterious Secret Realm over six hundred years ago. At that time, there was still a lot in stock, but six hundred years have passed, and now the entire planet’s immaculate spiritual crystal combined might not even amount to three pieces.”

“And immaculate spiritual crystal also comes in different purities. The one in Aya’s family is the purest.”

“Back then, Aya’s Old Ancestor was also a formidable character. Not only did he take the best immaculate spiritual crystal from the Secret Realm, but he also ground it into a pigeon-egg-sized ornament and mounted it on a ring, giving it to his beloved.”

“Just thinking about this makes me so angry!”

Boss Bai instantly became agitated. He cursed, “Which idiot said that a wedding must involve a diamond ring? How did that stuff, which costs a few dollars a bucket, become a symbol of love? Giving gold is better than giving that.”

“Then, after the Source Qi Revival, this foolish behavior was actually passed down.”

“That Old Ancestor of Aya also thought diamonds were rubbish, so he directly made the ring out of immaculate spiritual crystal.”

“Just thinking about him grinding that crystal back then, my heart truly aches. Every single speck of dust, if it were around now, would be an astronomical figure.”

“Sigh… my heart can’t take it.”

Xiao Fan twitched his mouth, understanding that Boss Bai, as a businessman, would indeed find such extravagance difficult to accept.

At this moment, Xiao Fan understood all the ins and outs. He said in a deep voice, “So, that immaculate spiritual crystal is an indispensable part of my weapon?”

“And Sister Aya’s goal is to have a descendant?”

“That’s easy. I’ll look for someone in the Super God Class who doesn’t have a girlfriend and recommend them to her, wouldn’t that be good?”

“For example, Kong Fangxiang, a Divine-Grade, a Myth-Grade. His Bloodline is definitely strong enough, right?”

“If that really doesn’t work, Ye Kuang? Divine Dragon Power! Sister Aya is so wild, she must be very interested in riding a Dragon, right?”

“Anyway, there are plenty of single dogs in our class now. What’s the big deal?”

“Simple!”

Bai Duojin’s face stiffened, and he said, “Don’t mess around.”

“One is a descendant of the Kong Family, and the other is the grandson of a leader. Their families probably didn’t intend to have grandchildren or great-grandchildren so early, right?”

“Sister Aya isn’t weak, is she?” Xiao Fan frowned.

Bai Duojin’s plump body trembled, and a look of lingering fear appeared on his face.

“What a joke! Sister Aya is very strong. She only looks young, but she’s actually over one hundred and thirty years old and is a Martial God with immense achievements. Five Emperor-level foreign races have died by her hand.”

“She’s the instructor for my Super God Class this year. She’s beaten up everyone. Don’t think your father-in-law Lin has his Talent Awakening; he still doesn’t dare to see Sister Aya. He was so badly beaten back then that he developed a psychological shadow.”

Listening to this, Xiao Fan’s expression was fascinating, and he finally understood why Aya called his father-in-law ‘Little Shao.’

Over one hundred and thirty years old?

That’s a bit outrageous.

However…

“Then isn’t that great? Which family would dislike a Martial God-level daughter-in-law?”

Bai Duojin lowered his voice and said, “Then you also have to consider, can your classmates accept a woman over a hundred years old?”

“Even if they can accept her, can they endure it?”

“It will be fatal.”

“This… it can’t be that bad, can it?” Xiao Fan frowned.

Bai Duojin sighed, “I can only say that youth is truly good. You simply don’t know how fierce the women of Shanhai Pass are, and what’s more, Aya is one of the fiercest among these fierce women.”

“In Shanhai Pass, you might see men walking while leaning on walls, but you will never see tired women.”

“They used to say, ‘women are like wolves at thirty, and tigers at forty.’ Now, it’s ‘Martial Sages are like wolves, Martial Gods are like tigers, and Martial Emperors are like demons.’”

“Xiao Fan, you are still young now. Exercise more, learn a few more Body Refining Martial Arts. Otherwise, later, you have three wives. Don’t think they are fine now; that’s because their age and Realm haven’t reached that point yet.”

“I’m really not exaggerating.”

“By that time, you might not even be able to crawl out of the bedroom door, and you still can’t say no.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan’s face not only didn’t show tension but also revealed a hint of pride.

Because he was different from others. It wasn’t about how many Body Refining Martial Arts he possessed, but that he had Xiao Dingdong!

Of course, this could not be said out loud.

Finally, Xiao Fan said, “Then I’ll pay for the creation of this Black Hole Rune.”

“I remember that Artifact Refiners usually take orders that include Materials. We can’t let my father-in-law put in the effort and also spend money on Materials, can we?”

“And that Black Hole Material must be very expensive, right?”

Hearing this, Bai Duojin scoffed, “Do you know how much it costs to forge a Myth-Grade weapon?”

Xiao Fan asked curiously, “It’s fine, I have money now. Can you tell me roughly how much it will be?”

“What money could you possibly have?” Bai Duojin said indifferently, “I’m afraid it would scare you if I told you.”

“A Myth-Grade weapon, on average, costs one hundred million! Merit Points!”

“One hundred million Merit Points!?” Xiao Fan’s tone suddenly rose, his face full of shock, “No way?”

“What do you think a Myth-Grade weapon is? It’s the strongest weapon on this planet!” Bai Duojin sighed, “And this is if you’re lucky. Your Black Hole Rune will cost at least two hundred million to start.”
