Chapter 1190 Extremely Difficult-to-Obtain Materials

Why is he calling me "Immortal King" now? Has this kid forgotten that he, Gongshu, has an irreconcilable feud with the Immortal King?

The words he just spoke, even if they weren't exactly flattering the Immortal King or an attempt to recruit him, definitely contained an element of sycophancy. After thinking it over and realizing that Lin Yi wouldn't do something so brainless, Old Man Gongshu finally understood.

Lin Yi hasn't forgotten the hatred between his old man Gongshu and the Immortal King, nor has he forgotten his own stance. He's just making fun of himself by saying these words.

"You little rascal, are you trying to make fun of me? While you were away, I handled a lot of things for you on Earth. I've done my part, even if I haven't done anything great. How dare you joke with me like this? It seems I'll have to test my skills against you. Come on!"

Old Man Gongshu was quite clear about Lin Yi's combat abilities.

Now, even without relying on the two martial souls within him, he could probably fight me to a standstill.

These words were just empty talk, nothing more than empty boasting.

After exchanging pleasantries, the old man Gongshu began to inquire about Lin Yi's serious business.

The message Lin Yi sent was concise and to the point.

He only explained that he was there to take Old Man Gongshu away and to do things for the Immortal King, but he didn't specify how he wanted Old Man Gongshu to help Lin Yi.

"Kid, tell me properly. You haven't been home for so long, and when you finally got home, all you contacted was this old man like me. You haven't even met with your family. I imagine you're not in a good situation right now. Following the Immortal King isn't as comfortable as you thought. Tell me, how do you hope I can help you?"

When Lin Yi first sent the message, he hadn't considered asking for help.

The reason he asked the old man Gongshu to come with him was simply to deal with the fact that his equipment had been enhanced.

"There's no way around it. The enhancement level of Shenhe Song is there. Would he let go of an opportunity to greatly improve his combat power? For a powerhouse of his level, there are very few ways to improve his combat power. Do you think that guy can refuse a painless way to improve his combat power without spending time and effort?"

"I'd like to keep quiet so you can continue to live peacefully on Earth, but if I don't, I won't be able to stay in the Celestial King's camp anymore, so you understand."

Old Man Gongshu could understand Lin Yi's helplessness.

Venturing out on his own, there are far too many uncertainties, especially since Lin Yi works under the Immortal King, living a life of constant anxiety.

Calling out the old man Gongshu is the best solution.

By doing this, we can avoid dragging Earth down with us.

"Fine, you've had it tough enough, so I'll go with you. You'll be doing things for that guy, and you'll probably get a lot of benefits. You'll make a profit, not lose, and at least you won't be ashamed."

Seeing that the old man Gongshu was willing to cooperate, Lin Yi snapped his fingers.

The Divine River Song from the personal space reappeared, condensing into a large eagle that lay prostrate before the two.

"Let's go. If that's the case, let's not waste any more time. I suddenly remembered something on the way here. Let's get going and I'll tell you about it on the way."

The large, gray-black eagle flapped its wings, carrying Lin Yi and his companion at an extremely fast pace.

On the way, Lin Yi mentioned his thoughts.

"What the hell, kid? You think too highly of me. What do you take me for, a genius?! Making a one-time enhancement device is more difficult than crafting a piece of equipment from +99 to +100. I can't do this. Figure it out yourself."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's idea, the old man Gongshu immediately refused.

He had never imagined something so challenging.

During his many years in the Dark Organization, he concealed his skills, and his craft did not improve for many years.

Yes, during the heyday of Azure Star, he did dream of becoming Azure Star's number one enhancement master, to prove his abilities to his father and the elders of his family.

But how could he, who hadn't studied enhancement techniques for so many years, possibly create a disposable enhancer?

Hearing this, Lin Yi looked at the old man Gongshu with a slightly suspicious gaze. "Isn't that right?"

Those five simple words made the old man Gongshu swallow all the words of refusal he had prepared.

genius.

Since birth, Gongshu Laotou had heard others praise him for those two words countless times.

However, he never imagined that hearing those two words from Lin Yi's mouth would feel so good.

It feels incredibly satisfying when a true genius calls themselves a genius.

"What do you call me?"

"I'm asking you, 'Aren't you a genius?' This is a rhetorical question to show my affirmation. You understand, right?"

The affirmative answer brought a satisfied expression to the old man Gongshu's face.

"Kid, say it again."

"genius."

After several simple and unpretentious exchanges, the old man Gongshu's vanity was greatly satisfied.

He didn't hesitate and immediately agreed to Lin Yi's suggestion, stating:

The old man Gongshu didn't have the ability to upgrade the equipment to +100.

Even the old man Gongshu didn't have the ability to create a one-time enhancer from scratch.

However, the old man Gongshu can do one thing: he can disassemble +100 equipment and use the materials obtained from the disassembly to create a one-time enhancement device.

In other words, all Lin Yi needs to do next is acquire a few pieces of equipment with a +100 enhancement level, and then, through a rather troublesome means, transfer this enhancement level to his own equipment.

That's certainly a novel idea.

Lin Yi was amazed when he heard this.

However, this is a bit difficult.

So where are we supposed to get so many +100 equipment?

Tens of thousands of years have passed since the destruction of the Blue Star. Those high-level enhanced equipment have long since disappeared, most likely vanishing into the annals of history with the passage of time.

At this point, it was Gongshu's turn to be confident.

"Hehe, there are things that you can't do but this old man can do. It feels really good."

Old Gongshu stood aside, chuckling smugly.

Indeed, it has been a long time since the era when high-strength equipment was not so rare.

However, the old man Gongshu still remembered relatively clearly which god the Gongshu family had crafted for which high-level, even +100, equipment.

As far as he knew, there were quite a few gods who were still alive and well, possessing the fully upgraded equipment that his Gongshu family had enhanced. As long as he found these guys and used some forceful means, he could take their equipment away.

"Don't worry, Lin Yi. Even if I don't remember, you have a familiar opponent that you can reasonably hunt down. Have you forgotten? During that battle, that girl took out a +100 equipment. I was quite shocked at the time."

"If you really can't find a target, or it's inconvenient to take action yourself, trying to use that girl as a scapegoat is also a good option. If I'm not mistaken, Yinglong's equipment should be fully enhanced. If you take all the equipment off her and dismantle it, you can definitely enhance your own equipment to +100."
