Jiang Xinghe had given Patriarch Qi the highest authority. Patriarch Qi was here as well. Since Chief Master had spoken, Patriarch Qi would not say anything. He would not object even if Patriarch Gu emptied out the warehouse.
Of course, the Chamber of Relics was rich and imposing. Every year, they sold many Relic weapons. After years of accumulation, the Chamber of Relics had more wealth than any of the 72 sects.
Therefore, even if Patriarch Gu were to squander hundreds of millions of Divine Sources, it would not be a big deal for the Chamber of Relics.
If the Artifact Pavilion could develop an even more powerful Heavenly Thunder Bringer and a Lightning Resistant Battle Armor, then the Artifact Pavilion wouldn't have to fear any Super Mighty in the Divine Realm. They wouldn't even have to be afraid of ordinary forces with Supremes in the Divine Realm. That was because the Artifact Pavilion's great killing weapon could kill the enemy at any time. With thousands of Heavenly Thunder Bringers, any force would be annihilated.
Dragon Xuesha came back. He disconnected the spiritual connection and gave the armor back to Patriarch Gu. This was the first Relic armor. Patriarch Gu must study and improve it.
After all, Patriarch Gu had made one. Dragon Xuesha could make a second or third one. By then, every patriarch of the Chamber of Relics would have one.
Patriarch Gu threw the Relic armor to Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, this Relic armor is yours. Right, give it a name."
"Eh?"
Jiang Xinghe, Dragon Xuesha, and Patriarch Qi looked at Lu Li in surprise. It was understandable that Patriarch Gu would give the Relic armor to Lu Li.
But why would Lu Li have the right to name the Relic armor?
This was unexpected. Every time a new Relic appeared, the creator would have the right to name it. This was something that could be passed down through the ages.
For example, there was once a master craftsman who made a special flying tool and named it after himself.
With the popularization of this flying tool, his name was spread far and wide. This was more glorious than leaving his name in the history books.
The Thunderbolt-resistant Armor was miraculous. When the thunderbolts were accumulated, its defensive ability would be better than any supreme Relic armor. In the future, the Relic armor would be famous.
How could Patriarch Gu let Lu Li have such an important naming right and a chance to show off?
"Lu Li was involved in the entire process of making the Relic armor and he gave me many inspirations. I am an old man. I don't need fame. I will give it to the young ones."
Elder Gu casually explained when he saw the surprised looks on Jiang Xinghe and the rest.
Jiang Xinghe and the others were not entirely convinced. They thought Patriarch Gu was being too nice to Lu Li.
"Alright, thank you, Master!"
Lu Li understood that Patriarch Gu was trying to make it up to him indirectly. Since the Master and the others were here, Lu Li could not say much. He cupped his fists and thanked Patriarch Gu gratefully.
He thought about it and said, "This God Armor can resist lightning, absorb lightning, and store lightning. Why don't we call it the Thunder Armor?"
Lu Li didn't go too far. He didn't use his name as an example. Jiang Xinghe and the others nodded, satisfied that Lu Li knew when to advance and when to retreat.
If Lu Li was named Lu Jia, Lu Li A, Lu Wang A, or something like that, they would all feel ashamed …
The group walked into the valley. At the entrance of the valley, Jiang Xinghe exhorted once again that this matter was not to be spread to anyone other than the five people present.
Of course, this was mainly directed at Lu Li. Everyone else understood the gravity of the situation.
Back at Patriarch Gu's manor, the Chief didn't leave immediately. He asked Long Xuesha and Patriarch Qi to leave first. He went to the backyard with Patriarch Gu and listened to Patriarch Gu's explanation on how to improve the Thunder Trigger.
Jiang Xinghe was more confident about improving the Thunder Trigger after hearing Patriarch Gu's explanation.
He was a master craftsman. Even though he did not know the formation diagram of the Thunder Trigger, he was a master craftsman in forging artifacts. He could draw inferences from one example. He could understand many theories easily.
"Okay!
Shanhe, do your best. "
Jiang Xinghe didn't read or discuss the specific details or the formation diagram. Every artifact craftsman had their own unique skills. They all understood the rules.
It would be disrespectful to Elder Gu if he didn't touch their unique techniques.
Jiang Xinghe left. Soon, Patriarch Qi sent over a large number of materials. Jiang Xinghe gave the order in person for Patriarch Gu to spend freely and forge artifacts to his heart's content.
Lu Li didn't want to participate in the production of the Thunder Trigger because he wanted to go back to reading.
After the Thunder Trigger was improved, Patriarch Gu would give Lu Li something to protect himself. Lu Li knew how to modify the core of the Thunder Trigger and it was not impossible for him to make more in the future.
However, Patriarch Gu dragged Lu Li along. Lu Li knew that Patriarch Gu was doing it for his own good and wanted Lu Li to learn something.
Lu Li had good theoretical knowledge but little practice.
Lu Li didn't dare to disobey Patriarch Gu's order. He began to make Thunder Trigger again and again.
At the beginning, Patriarch Gu made many Thunder Triggers. He would explain every step in detail to Lu Li and order Lu Li to do it himself.
Patriarch Gu was embarrassed that Lu Li could not tell Patriarch Gu that he was the one who made the Thunder Trigger.
Therefore, Patriarch Gu wanted to make it up to Lu Li. He planned to teach Lu Li how to make Thunder Trigger step by step.
Thunder Trigger was Patriarch Gu's unique skill. Not even the Chief was able to learn it. Patriarch Gu was treating Lu Li like his own son by teaching Lu Li so easily.
How could Lu Li turn down the kindness of a lonely old man?
He had to learn with all his heart, put in some effort and try his best to satisfy Patriarch Gu.
Lu Li had never forged artifacts before. It was inevitable that he would be flustered when he had to make such a demanding Relic. He often made mistakes.
Patriarch Gu was patient. He never scolded or hit Lu Li. He didn't even say anything harsh.
The more Patriarch Gu was like this, the more careful Lu Li was. He devoted himself to learning, practicing, and pondering.
Lu Li's theoretical knowledge was strong. With the guidance of a famous teacher and repeated practice, Lu Li's skills in forging artifacts improved rapidly. Patriarch Gu was pleased with his fast progress.
Patriarch Gu worked on Thunder Trigger for one and a half months. Lu Li studied with him for one and a half months. Later on, Qian Huanhan came to help as well. Of course, he was here to learn more.
Lu Li had asked for Qian Huanhan's help. Otherwise, Patriarch Gu wouldn't want Qian Huanhan to be an eyesore.
Over three hundred Thunder Triggers were made in one and a half months. They were all sent to the Hall of Internal Affairs. Patriarch Gu was not there to replenish the stock of the Chamber of Relics. Instead, he was working on improving the Thunder Trigger at the same time.
"It's about time!"
Patriarch Gu rested for half a day and decided to try to improve the Thunder Trigger. He chose the second plan proposed by Lu Li — to build a formation inside the Thunder Trigger. The Thunder Trigger would attract thunderbolts and then use the formation to accumulate the thunderbolts.
When needed, the Thunder Trigger would be detonated and the violent thunderbolts stored inside would be released to kill the enemies nearby.
The Thunder Trigger had the word "trigger". To attract thunderbolts, it would take time!
Powerful warriors could move fast. The super mighty warriors could travel a long distance in the time for one breath. Therefore … when the thunderbolts came, the super mighty warriors in the Divinity would have a good chance to run away.
If thunderbolts were stored inside and released at once, not even the super mighty warriors in the Divinity would be able to escape.
As long as there were enough thunderbolts and the thunderbolts were strong enough, killing the super mighty warriors in the Divinity was not just a dream.
