Shen Yi chuckled, "Elder Xing, you know my skills. If there are too many restrictions, it's better to have none at all..."
"Alright, alright, I got it!"
Old Xing chuckled. "You're the first kid who's ever dared to make such a request of me."
Mr. Xing was absolutely right about that.
If someone could commission Master Xing to create something, that would be incredibly lucky.
Some people didn't even dare to speak, for fear of making another request and angering the elder.
Old Master Xing doesn't like this kind of person.
"The so-called master craftsman must create only the finest and most exquisite items! If it doesn't meet the user's wishes, what kind of top-quality equipment is it? If you can't create good things, can you still be called a master craftsman?"
Old Xing cursed, "To forge equipment for them is an insult to my name!"
He casually picked up a few pieces of material and looked at Shen Yi.
Are there any other requirements?
"Ideally, there would be no level restrictions." Shen Yi thought for a moment. "If I could specialize my summoning skills, that would be even more perfect."
"This... is a bit difficult." Elder Xing sighed.
Lan Yu smiled and said, "The quality of the finished equipment depends not only on the materials used, but also on the quality of other materials, so that it is less likely to have negative effects."
“Summoning-type materials are rare to begin with; even Ye Dingtian doesn’t have such materials…”
Shen Yi thought for a moment and then took out a beak from his storage space.
"How about this one?"
"This is……"
Old Man Xing picked up the beak, paused for a moment, and then his expression immediately turned serious.
"Kid, where did you get this thing from?"
"Loot from the dungeon boss," Shen Yi honestly replied.
The Beak of the Undead was a drop that Shen Yi obtained after killing the Fog Corpse Demon. It was of A-grade quality and Shen Yi kept it.
Xinglao looked at Lanyu, "This thing..."
"Mr. Xing, you are right."
Lan Yu frowned. "This thing was made by those guys from the Heavenly God Alliance."
She examined the Undead Beak closely, her brow furrowed deeply.
"So that's how it is... No wonder the dungeon's magic array is so difficult to change, they were willing to use A-grade materials as a foundation."
Elder Xing looked at Shen Yi and said, "This thing is indeed a good thing, but... it doesn't belong to the summoning type of material."
Do you have any more summoning materials? Equipment is fine too.
Shen Yi was taken aback. "Equipment too?"
"Of course, what do you think equipment is?"
Xing Lao glanced at Shen Yi, then explained to him, "Equipment is something that is created by extracting the characteristics of various crafting materials and then re-integrating them. Naturally, it can be used as a material for crafting equipment."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "I still don't quite understand."
"Hey kid, do you have a blacksmith?"
Old Xing glanced at Shen Yi sideways, "You little brat, are you trying to talk your way out of this?"
Shen Yi scratched his head sheepishly, "Old Xing's eyesight is still the best..."
"You actually have one?" A look of surprise flashed across Elder Xing's face. "You kid, you're really a bit of a freak."
Since Shen Yi has a need, Master Xing might as well teach him some more.
"First, how do you think blacksmiths forge equipment?"
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "Melt the material, pour it into a mold, and let it cool?"
“That’s right.” Old Xing nodded. “A blacksmith’s professional skill is forging, which of course includes forging forges.”
"Therefore, the first piece of equipment that a low-level blacksmith forges is actually a forge."
"Forging furnaces are classified by quality. The higher the quality of the forging furnace, the more materials it can melt."
"The success rate of melting is also high."
Elder Xing pointed to the large furnace in front of him, "See that? That's the forging furnace."
The forging furnace had a unique shape and was enormous in size.
"These grooves are for the molten material."
"A high-quality forging furnace can retain the properties of the molten material more completely."
"For example, your [Undead Beak]."
Elder Xing picked up the material provided by Shen Yi and examined it carefully. "If I'm not mistaken, the inherent properties of this material must include enhancement of undead attributes, which is extremely suitable for you."
"If this Beak of the Undead were to be melted down in a low-level forge, the success rate would be no more than 50%, and the retained properties would be no more than 10% or 12%."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, somewhat surprised, "The success rate of completely preserving the characteristics is only five per thousand?"
"Otherwise, why do you think high-level blacksmiths are so scarce?"
Old Xing clicked his tongue, "Even if the melting is successful and all the properties are preserved, the success rate of the final forging step is still terribly low."
“You have a blacksmith, so I’ll say a few more words.”
When talking about his profession, Mr. Xing became noticeably more serious.
"Try to consider forging it only when its level is high."
Shen Yi nodded. "I understand."
The sorceress Lan Yu looked up at the ceiling, swinging her long legs, seemingly oblivious to the conversation between Shen Yi and Xing Lao.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic, summoning-type equipment..."
"I happen to have a summoning-type equipment here."
Shen Yi scratched his head. "It's just that its skills are very good, and I don't really want to use them up."
Old Master Xing held out his hand. "Let me see it."
Shen Yi had no choice but to take off his [Goblin King's Summoner Necklace].
As he handed it to Elder Xing, Shen Yi was still a little worried, "Elder Xing, this equipment is very important to me, please don't let it overwrite its inherent skills..."
Xing Lao glared at Chen Yi, "Do I look like such an unreliable person?"
Lan Yu squinted and smiled, "You little rascal, you're quite interesting."
"I've only ever seen Qiu Xing craft equipment."
"You're the first person who's worried about Xing Lao damaging the equipment."
Shen Yi had no choice. The [Goblin King's Summoner Necklace] and his [Ring of Unity] complemented each other. If they were used up, Shen Yi's combat power would be greatly reduced.
"Mana regeneration, retention of equipment's inherent skills... plus this, we might even be able to add a Necromancer attribute enhancement stat."
Star Elder carefully placed the Undead Beak into the furnace.
The furnace was ablaze with flames.
Strangely, even though Shen Yi was so close, he didn't feel any intense heat.
Xing Lao then looked at Shen Yi.
Are you sure you don't have any other requests?
Can I still make demands?
Shen Yi thought that his requirements were strict enough.
"I hope it's not a cosmetic item!"
Shen Yi quickly replied, "It would be best if it could guarantee my defense and attack power... and ideally, it wouldn't affect my speed!"
Lan Yu chuckled.
Xing Lao looked at Shen Yi with a helpless expression.
"Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?!"
