Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes as he walked through the dense forest. He didn't want to follow, but he was worried that the group would encounter danger, so he had no choice but to go along.
"The aura of the Celestial Demon Body lingered there!"
Jiang Yuan looked towards a spot where, besides Tian Mei's body, there was a strong aura of humanity. He said thoughtfully, "She must be trying to incite the mercenary group, otherwise Little Fatty wouldn't have followed her in her nonsense!"
He still believed in Little Fatty.
"Never mind, let's go check out the Flame of Life in Echo Valley first!"
He was about to take action when he realized that there would be many people around, and if his identity were accidentally discovered, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
"Make a mask!"
The corresponding idea came to mind. He had previously had the idea of making masks, but because masks were not very useful, he had not been able to put it into action for a long time.
"Luckily, I brought my forging table with me, otherwise I would have been in real trouble!"
Jiang Yuan was very glad that he had made preparations and had prepared all the tools at the Liu family's house in advance; otherwise, he would definitely be like a skilled cook without rice to cook.
He quickly found a secluded spot, and the forging platform was brought out. As for forging materials, he naturally had plenty; the materials left in the forging pavilion last time were enough for him to practice until he reached the peak of the Spirit Realm.
"Why wear a mask?"
Jiang Yuan was immediately caught in a dilemma. He still vividly remembered the last one he wore. It was a faceless ghost mask. Putting aside whether it was practical or not, the design was incredibly simple, truly living up to its name as a faceless ghost!
Because it doesn't have any facial features at all!
"It seems the Faceless Demon Mask is the simplest one!"
Jiang Yuan realized that every advantage has its disadvantages. While complaining about how ugly the Faceless Ghost was, he also thought of another point: his forging skills were more suitable for weapons. To be honest, asking him to make delicate little objects would only be asking a clumsy person like him to make things difficult.
"We have plenty of usable materials this time. To ensure a successful first attempt, it's best to refine the simplest method!"
Finally, after much deliberation, Jiang Yuan chose the Faceless Ghost Mask, simply for its simplicity.
This type of mask, which doesn't require any external design, is the easiest to make and has a high success rate, making it the most suitable for Jiang Yuan in his current state.
It should be noted that this time he used the same materials as the previous ninth-tier puppet, all of which were rare and precious.
Let's begin!
Since mastering the Divine Medicine Master's legacy, he has developed a natural affinity for flames, as if he can sense all the properties of flames simply by touching them.
This time, he used a sub-divine forging technique, with ninth-tier crimson gold as the main material and dragon-patterned blood threads as the secondary material. The crimson gold was a spoil of war obtained after defeating Shi Xuyao last time. The properties of crimson gold are very suitable for masks, so it is still very suitable for making mask blanks. As for the dragon-patterned blood threads, this is one of the few materials Jiang Yuan possesses with a conductivity coefficient exceeding 75%, making it extremely precious.
The forging techniques he mastered were all left behind by the Sun and Moon Saint Lord. Because he possessed part of the Sun and Moon Saint Lord's inheritance, his proficiency in forging was extremely high. After energy shaping, a rough blank of a faceless ghost appeared in the furnace fire.
"Hopefully, the dwarven forging techniques will be useful!"
After the artifact blank was completed, Jiang Yuan began to outline the array patterns. This was the core of the sub-divine forging technique he obtained from the artifact tablet. The most powerful aspect of the Human-character forging master is creation, which is the means to turn decay into magic.
After the first forging, the mask reached the ninth-grade good quality, but the inlay of the conductive material was extremely rough.
Jiang Yuan decisively chose to forge it a second time!
After the second forging, the mask's grade remained at ninth level, but this time it was upgraded to superior grade.
Is this upgrade really that difficult?
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake in one of his forging techniques, otherwise why was it so difficult to upgrade his grade?
"I refuse to believe it!"
The third forging begins!
With each additional forging attempt, the failure rate increases exponentially.
If the first forging has a 10% failure rate, the second failure rate will reach 20%, the third 50%, and the fourth even soars to 90%, and so on, with the failure rate approaching 1%.
After the third forging, the mask's quality remained excellent.
The fourth forging was completed. This time it was the most thrilling because Jiang Yuan almost destroyed the entire artifact embryo with a mistake. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize the situation with his powerful divine energy, save the artifact embryo, and upgrade its grade to excellent.
"Should we continue?" Jiang Yuan began to hesitate.
His forging skills were not yet sufficient to forge perfect quality equipment beyond his level, so there was a high probability that he would fail on his fifth forging attempt. However, he was unwilling to stop at the excellent level on his first attempt at forging ninth-level equipment.
"Let's give it our all!"
Jiang Yuan grabbed the dragon-patterned blood threads; he was about to perform the fifth forging.
The divine energy flows rapidly through the embryo, and he will only begin forging after ensuring that every part can continue to be forged.
The mask doesn't need extra energy gathering; what it needs is concealment. Therefore, the array inscribed on it must have the ability to shield power. Only in this way can the mask be considered qualified.
The divine energy of the fire attribute continuously seeped into the artifact embryo, and gradually, a wonderful connection was formed between the artifact embryo and Jiang Yuan, from which a trace of spirituality was derived.
"The forging process was successful!"
Jiang Yuan successfully forged the blank in a mysterious state, and once the artifact tablet was completed, the entire mask was easily quenched and formed.
"bite!"
As he completed the final forging step, the Heavenly Eye sent good news: the perfect quality ninth-tier mask was finished.
"It's already reached perfect quality, but it's a pity that it still can't be inlaid with a weapon spirit skill!" Jiang Yuan sighed.
Weapons that can be inlaid with spirit skills need to possess spirituality, and spirituality is something that can only be encountered by chance.
