Is that a Wisp?

The crying Krune then returned to his hotel room as he sighed. However, he quickly put those thoughts behind and focused on cultivation once again. As for his shield, that was a piece of equipment of the Spirit Awakener Guild to start with. Naturally, he had to give it back. From the looks of it, the just born Spirit in his shield could still be worth something if someone decided to raise it.

Back in the Spirit Awakener Guild, Dima took his time to tell everyone about Krune's true ability. Although they couldn't confirm that Krune was telling the truth, they would find out about it sooner or later. As for all the damage caused by the Spirit Awakener Guild's Spirit, Dima had to open the guild's coffers and pay for it. Nevertheless, he wasn't worried. It was now guaranteed that Krune could awaken Spirits. Considering how much a Spirit Awakener profited, Krune would be able to pay it sooner or later.

The only problem was that Krune was in the 1st Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm. That being said, he could only wake up low-level equipment spirits. It would take some time until he could get real valuable jobs. Of course, that didn't mean that Krune wouldn't work on it. A few days later, Krune returned to the guild and began to take on Godly Fusion Stars Equipment jobs. It was also a good way to check out his success rate.

In the end, Roben was told to take care of Krune's needs during his adaptation period. Roben didn't mind since he was also curious about how good the Calamity Law Awakening method was. Yes, that's what they decided to call Krune's method.

"Here you go. We've received five pieces of Low-Level Godly Fusion Stars Equipment to try and awaken their Spirits. This will be your first job to try to pay your debt."

Krune nodded.

"That's fine. However, how many God Stones am I getting for each piece of equipment?"

"Does it matter? The God Stones won't be yours anyway."

Krune immediately shook his head as he explained.

"That won't do. If I don't get God Stones, how am I suppose to cultivate faster? Sure, you can at least let me get 20 or 30% of the God Stones. If you do so, my cultivation will improve quicker. Naturally, I will be able to awaken higher-level equipment spirits, which will be more valuable."

Roben pondered for a bit and had to admit that Krune was right.

"Very well, I'll let you have 30% of the profit from the Spirit of these pieces of equipment."

Krune was happy to hear that.

"By the way, do we get paid for awakened equipment or for trying to awaken them?"

Roben then began to explain.

"As you know, it's just too hard to awaken a piece of equipment's Spirit. It can definitely take days just to most likely fail in the end. If we didn't receive anything for the trials, no one would even try to be a Spirit Awakener. That said, we're paid for the days of work. Also, if we succeed in awakening the spirits, the equipment owner has to pay for it again."

Krune was surprised to hear that.

"And the cultivators and demon beasts accept such a deal?"

Roben nodded.

"They have no other choice. A Spirit Awakener's time is precious. A lot more than you think it can be. If they don't pay for it, others will. Remember, a weapon or an armor with a Spirit is just way much better than one without it. Not to mention that its power increases with the Spirits' cultivation. It's not wrong to say that every cultivator and demon beasts' dream weapon is a Spirit Weapon."

Well, Krune was happy that it was the case.

"Still, why would someone want to awaken a Spirit of a Godly Fusion Stars equipment? There are even seven here. Wouldn't it be a waste?"

Roben shook his head.

"Of course not. As you know, a person or demon beasts' cultivation determines the level of equipment they can use. A 1st Stage Godly Fusion Realm cultivator like you wouldn't use a God Foundation Stars Equipment. I believe you could push to use a Four or Five Stars Godly Fusion One. More than that would be dangerous for you."

Krune nodded. At least this point was the same as the realms below. Krune had never used flying shields above his own cultivation realm for this exact reason. He simply couldn't even if he wanted to.

Roben then continued.

"That being said, some parents with a lot of money like to prepare a few low-level weapons for their own children. They will help them raise their level for when their children get old enough to start cultivating. Of course, this was only one of its uses. Anyway, low-level equipment spirit awakening is the cheapest one, so it's worth doing that."

Krune agreed that it was a good deal.

"Alright. Now, how much are we getting paid for it?"

Roben then opened his communicator and passed Krune a price list. It seemed like all the Spirit Awakener Guilds were linked to the same network. Because of that, the price was the same everywhere.

-Godly Fusion Stars Equipment-

1 Star: 100 Rank One God Stones per day of work, 1000 Rank One God Stones in case of successful Spirit Awakening;

2 Stars: 200 Rank One God Stones per day of work, 2000 Rank One God Stones in case of successful Spirit Awakening;

3 Stars: 300 Rank One God Stones per day of work, 3000 Rank One God Stones in case of successful Spirit Awakening;

4 Stars: 400...

-God Foundation Stars Equipment-

1 Star: 100 Rank Two God Stones per day of work, 1000 Rank Two God Stones in case of successful Spirit Awakening;

2 Stars: 200 Rank Two God Stones per day of work, 2000 Rank Two God Stones in case of successful Spirit Awakening;

3 Stars: 300 Rank Two God Stones per day of work, 3000 Rank Two God Stones in case of successful Spirit Awakening;

4 Stars: 400...

This kind of pattern continued as the weapons' ranks went up. It was very simple and left no room for complaints.

"100 God Stones just for a single day of work on One Star Equipment? That's quite good since this is the lowest level possible."

Roben agreed with Krune.

"I told you, didn't I? The Spirit Awakeners' time is precious. There are just so many of them out there, so it has to be worth their job. Also, although it says 'day of work,' it doesn't mean that you have to try and awaken it for an entire day. However, there is a minimal amount of time you have to work on it, which is 12 hours. You have to spend at least this every day, trying to awaken the Equipment Spirit. That's why the job is done here in the guild instead of outside. That way, we can keep track of your work. That is necessary to keep the customer's trust in our work."

Krune didn't mind. If he was a customer, he would also want a guarantee that the work was truly being carried out.

Krune then looked at the pieces of equipment that Roben gave him.

"Two swords, one pair of dual daggers, and one piece of armor. The swords are at the Two Godly Fusion Stars level while the rest is at One Star."

Roben nodded.

"Seems like you know something about equipment."

Krune smiled in response.

"I am a blacksmith, after all. Well, I'm just a One Godly Fusion Stars Blacksmith, though. I will need to practice more to raise my rank in the future."

Roben shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"As long as you don't slack, I don't mind what you do. You do have 12 hours free each day, after all."

Krune then took the pair of Dual Daggers. Sure enough, because they were still considered two pieces of equipment, Krune would receive double for his work on them. He decided to go with them first since they were at the One Godly Fusion Star level.

"Alright, I will start now."

Roben saw Krune gathering the Calamity Laws or the 'dark clouds' around the first dagger.

"Are you sure you won't awaken another Building Spirit?"

Krune nodded.

"I now know why it happened, so I can limit the space of the interaction of the Calamity Laws to the dagger only. It's just that it robs me of some concentration, so I won't be able to work on it as fast as before."

Roben didn't mind.

"That's fine. We don't want another incident like before."

Seeing Krune putting his attention on the dagger, Roben decided to leave the room and leave Krune working. The room had a monitoring system, so he would be informed by the other employees if Krune stopped working.

And just like that, time began to pass. The Dark Clouds generated countless random conditions while Krune tried to find the right ones to give the weapon a spirit. 12 hours later, Krune put the daggers down as he sighed.

"Sure enough, I was seriously lucky with that shield of mine. There was a glimpse of a Spirit Awakening in the dagger, but I had to stop in the end. Its Soul was too flawed, so it would die not long after I fully awakened it. Since that was the case, I might as well cut the process and start over. It's better than watching it being born just to see it dying right after."

Krune then got up and left the room. He would return to continue his work the next day.
