Hearing the concern in his tone, Yan Xuehen felt a warmth in her heart, but she immediately composed herself and dared not think about it anymore.

Zuan withdrew his gaze and took the opportunity to check the forging system that had been newly unlocked after obtaining the "Divine Pattern Weapon Diagram".

A phantom image of a furnace appeared in his mind, covered with intricate runes. Zu An was not good at runes and could not understand them at all. He thought that he would find an evening to draw these runes and study them with Yan Xuehen.

He read the relevant instructions and learned that the illusory furnace was the place where magical artifacts and weapons were forged.

To start this furnace, you can't use ordinary fire; you must use real fire.

Zu An thought to himself, "This keyboard is indeed extraordinary. If it's a magic weapon that can be forged with ordinary fire, it probably can't be that powerful."

Fortunately, he had recently obtained the White Lotus True Fire. Previously, the White Lotus True Fire was stored in the Nine Cauldrons. After the Nine Cauldrons were taken away by Yu the Great, he temporarily stored it in the root chakra. Anyway, that was also the place to observe the inner fire and settle the mind, so the attributes were just right. However, this increased the risk of going into demonic possession, which would be quite dangerous if it got out of control.

When the White Lotus True Fire reached the furnace, the runes on the furnace suddenly lit up, and the entire furnace seemed to come alive, radiating a dazzling divine light.

Activation successful!

Immediately afterwards, Zuan noticed that the White Lotus True Fire had transformed into a small flame and remained under the furnace, as if it had made its home there.

He thought this was perfect, saving him the trouble of protecting this violent true fire.

Then a new message popped into his mind, and Zu'an hurriedly checked it.

This forging system has three main functions. The first is that when you have forging blueprints and the corresponding materials, it can forge any weapon or magical artifact.

Zuan's gaze was fixed on the forging diagram. He thought to himself, "The materials are easy to understand, but what is this?"

The army and large families also provide their children with standard weapons, which often have corresponding forging blueprints. But Heavenly Rank, Immortal Rank, and even God Rank are all born from the essence of heaven and earth. Do they also have forging blueprints?

He then looked at the second function, which is the ability to repair, upgrade, and even allow weapons to break through and be upgraded to a higher grade.

Zaun was overjoyed; the Tai'a sword had been damaged, and this function would be just what he needed to repair it.

The upgrade is like leveling up in a game. Weapons of the same grade can have different levels of power. This function can greatly enhance the power of the weapon within the same level range.

As for breakthroughs, one needs sufficient materials to upgrade weapons and magical artifacts to a higher level. For example, a Heaven-rank weapon can be upgraded to a Celestial-rank weapon, and a Celestial-rank weapon can even be upgraded to a God-rank weapon.

Upon seeing this feature, Zuan's breathing quickened. Wouldn't that mean he could mass-produce divine weapons in the future?

Plant a batch of mortal-grade weapons in spring, and harvest a batch of divine-grade weapons in autumn!

However, after seeing the required conditions, he immediately calmed down. To upgrade the grade, a massive amount of resources were needed, as well as some special and rare items. The rarity of those items was no less than that of weapons of the same grade.

For example, the Hongyuan Jiejin jadeite obtained in the Biyuan jadeite gambling market is one such example. This kind of jadeite is often priceless and unavailable. Even if you can afford it, you may not be able to find it for sale.

Besides the resources consumed, whether a weapon can break through to a higher level also depends on whether it has growth potential.

Those with enormous growth potential can even be broken through to the god level.

However, most people are lucky if they can break through and advance to the next rank; they absolutely cannot advance to a higher rank.

No matter how much precious resources you invest in an ordinary weapon, you cannot upgrade it to the divine rank, or even the earth rank.

The third function is reforging. You can choose to put several weapons and corresponding resources into the furnace to forge a new weapon. This weapon will be at least of the same grade, but its attributes or abilities will have nothing to do with the previous weapon and will be completely random.

The rebuilt weapons may not be as good as the old weapons that were thrown in before, or the new weapons may have better attributes and abilities.

The key issue is that this thing is not replicable; each output is random.

For example, if you put the exact same weapons and materials into the furnace the next time, the final weapon will be different from the last one, or even unrelated.

In addition, the reforging function has a very small probability of producing a weapon of a higher grade than before. For example, if you put in a few immortal-grade weapons, you might end up with a divine-grade weapon. Of course, the keyboard instructions also solemnly remind you that this probability is extremely small, so please consider it carefully.

Zu An thought to himself, who would dare to gamble their precious immortal-grade weapon on such a tiny probability!

Another gambler! I hate gamblers!

Yesterday, I spent several hours organizing the outline, and when I finally came to my senses, it was already past 11 PM. I couldn't stay awake any longer, so I'll have to continue today.
