Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis, Yersi, and Orthar looked at the building in front of them. It didn't look as imposing as a lot of other buildings on the main street, but it also didn't look cheap. Overall, the building looked perfectly average on this street.

Yet, that was already good enough. As long as no one overlooked the shop and actually noticed it, there wouldn't be any problems. Most Cultivators wouldn't look at run-down stores, but if the shops looked normal, they would glance at it at least. That was all that Gravis needed.

The entire building was light blue and about two stories high. The ground floor would act as a reception and demonstration hall, while the second floor would hold the forge.

At least, that was how it was supposed to be. Gravis didn't really need a forge, which was why the second floor basically only had some scattered furniture.

Meanwhile, the ground floor had a lot of different contraptions. These contraptions allowed the customer to try out their weapons directly, similar to the contraption that one woman had used when she tried out her bow.

Behind the counter, the rarest ores that Gravis owned were displayed, including the Middle World Core. When customers saw these ores, they might decide to use some in-house ores instead of using their bought ones. Additionally, not every customer already had their ores ready. Most of them would ask what they needed first before purchasing them. After all, they were not forgers and didn't know much about materials.

The price differences between materials at the same Rank came down to their rarity, not power. When one looked at the ores for their Realm, every ore would be just as powerful but with different strengths and weaknesses.

In the end, it came down to what kind of weapon someone preferred, but that also meant that some Cultivators with certain Battle-Styles needed to spend more money since their Battle-Style needed rarer ores.

These Battle-Styles were not inherently weaker or stronger than others. It was simply that the materials to support them were more expensive. Sadly, there was no positive side to them needing to spend more money. They were simply shit out of luck.

So, what were the most expensive materials?

Funnily enough, the generally used materials for Space Cultivators were the most expensive, with the exception of some very exotic, rare materials. The reason for that was that the ores fitting for the Law of Space were only of average rarity, but the demand for them was ridiculous. Every Space Cultivator wanted a good weapon, and there were a lot of Space Cultivators.
