The old man frowned and asked:
"Really? In this case, the guest might as well introduce why this chiming clock can be sold for 10,000."
Xu Kuang chuckled and said:
"I'm not talking about this one, but another one. It's made on site and can be customized according to your standards, but you have to hurry up. I don't have much time."
Just when the old man was about to retort that "customization is not worth so much money," he suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Can I choose any material?"
Xu Kuang nodded.
The old man muttered to the clerk next to him, then turned and left.
Not long after, a young man came over.
He cupped his hands towards Xu Kuang and asked:
"Sir, can you make it with any material?"
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Even if it's mithril, as long as you can afford it, I can do it.".
Mithril is titanium, to be precise, a rare titanium-chromium-silver compound. There are dozens of ways to quickly deal with mithril in the five-year priest and three-year alchemy. Xu Kuang is not worried about not being able to deal with it. He is only worried about not having enough mana.
The young man was shocked, and his rating for Xu Kuang increased again.
He said to Xu Kuang:
"Just in time, I have a small piece of mithril here, about 30 grams. I wonder if sir can blend it into this thing."
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Are you going to put it on the surface or in the internal parts?".
"Follow me sir.".
Xu Kuang nodded and asked:
"Are there any requirements on the appearance of the chiming clock?".
The young man suddenly realized:
"It turns out this thing is called a self-ringing bell. It's a good name. Sir, please."
Xu Kuang asked again:
"Is it for personal use or for giving away? Or for sale?"
"Send to my father.".
"Send a 'clock' to your father...".
Of course, Xu Kuang just thought about this in his heart and did not say it out loud.
Xu Kuang thought for a while and asked:
"Is your father lustful?".
young people:……
Old man:......
Hathaway: ...
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous. Since you are giving a gift, you have to do what you want."
The young man said:
"Sir, just use your own judgment."
Xu Kuang asked again:
"How many sisters does your mother have...".
Before Xu Kuang could say anything, he was stopped by Hathaway.
Hathaway smiled slightly apologetically at the young man:
"I'm sorry, he has no brain."
The young man also smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter.".
Hathaway lowered her head and said fiercely to Xu Kuang:
"Just the most conventional ones, no need to do anything fancy."
Xu Kuang sighed and could only overturn the draft in his heart and replace it with a regular bird.
Then, Xu Kuang began to make it. He first used his magic power to melt the mithril, and then melted the molten iron with his other hand and transformed it into various parts.
Xu Kuang stretched out his hand, and dozens of magic circles that were more powerful than the previous self-ringing bell were automatically engraved.
"It's a pity that mithril is not as elastic as iron. Otherwise, the spring can be replaced by mithril."
Little did he know that the old man beside him had already stirred up a storm in his heart.
He whispered to the young man:
"This person can actually melt mithril without the help of any medicine, relying only on magic power. We can't have any contempt for him."
The young man's expression became serious and he nodded.
More and more people gathered nearby, and they all stretched their heads to watch Xu Kuang making the self-ringing bell, and Xu Kuang was enjoying it.
Xu Kuang asked while making a gilt self-ringing bell:
"Is your father a businessman or an official?".
The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"An official."
Xu Kuang nodded and began to speed up. After a while, the self-ringing bell took shape.
Xu Kuang raised his head again and asked:
"Are there any gems? Sapphire is best.".
The young man nodded, and the person beside him went to get a piece of sapphire and handed it to Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang used his magic power to crush the sapphire, which surprised the old man and the young man even more.
The largest piece of the fragments was stretched by Xu Kuang and turned into the mirror of the chiming clock. The other sapphires were inlaid on the hands made of mithril.
“Do you need engraving on the dial?”.
The young man thought for a moment and shook his head.
Xu Kuang nodded and completed the installation of the mirror.
Then he wound up the clock, and a few minutes later, a little bird flew out.
Everyone around applauded, and the young people also said that it was really amazing.
Xu Kuang handed the self-ringing bell to the young man and said with a smile:
"Wrap that staff for me and settle the remaining gold coins with me."
The young man smiled and said:
"This thing is exquisite and extraordinary. I already got a bargain of 10,000 gold coins. How can I charge sir more? If sir likes it, just take it."
Xu Kuang nodded.
There was also a complicated look on Hathaway's face.
At this time others also asked:
"Sir, can you make one for me too?".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"The custom-made price is 10,000 gold coins, and you need to bring your own materials."
Most of the people left at once, and the remaining ones were all capable and happily placed orders for Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang said again:
"Leave the materials to me. Come to the store tomorrow to pick up the goods. When you get the goods, you will pay. Do you believe me?"
Everyone nodded, they all felt that such a big alchemy priest would not trick anyone.
Xu Kuang put away the materials, asked about the demands one by one, bowed his hands to the young man, and was about to leave.
But the young man caught up and asked:
"I don't know your name, sir. Are you willing to work in my store?"
Xu Kuang laughed and said:
"My name is Xu Kuang. I am the lord of Mushroom Ridge in Baihua City. If you have time, you can come to my territory as a guest. I am just short of money and am not ready to live under anyone else's roof. Thank you for your kindness."
After Xu Kuang finished speaking, he took Hathaway and left.
After the two left, the young man said to the old man:
"Check Mushroom Ridge. I want to see Xu Kuang's information. I didn't expect that this time I came to Alto Kingdom and got such a harvest."
The old man just said respectfully:
"yes.".
As the two walked away, Hathaway asked:
"Did you do it just to buy the staff...".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"The reason is no longer important. The most important thing is that I got the staff, but I can't give it to you now. The staff is too poorly made and I still need to modify it."
Hathaway nodded. She actually didn't care what the staff looked like. What she cared about was that this was the second gift Xu Kuang gave her.
Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud.
Xu Kuang returned to his residence and finished refining all the self-ringing bells. The experience gained has reached the level of upgrade.
Xu Kuang clicked the upgrade button without hesitation, and then added attribute points to his physique.

Xu Kuang looked at the rapidly shrinking wallet and felt like crying.

On the other side, Ryan returned with a full load of various items.
