Chapter 4: Finding Treasure
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning.
Ye Feng repaired the Blacksmith Shop’s door before heading to the market to buy the materials that he lacked.
The bag of gold coins that Eric gave was sufficient to get all the materials he needed.
The market was open to free trade, most of the goods were materials that adventurers brought back from their exploration.
When Nyzo was around, Ye Feng would often help to purchase materials in the market, he had a rather clear understanding of the market’s situation.
Other than getting the materials for the twenty stage two weapons, Ye Feng had another goal, he wanted to find some special materials.
Like the black iron stone that underwent some special change.
With the system’s analysis, he could easily decipher if those materials had special traits.
After getting all the materials he needed, Ye Feng started to tour the market.
Indeed, his hard work paid off.
Ye Feng’s gaze landed on a piece of purple crystal.
[Purple Obsidian]
Grade: Stage Three Middle-grade
Special Trait: Having absorbed the power of lightning, it has gotten much stronger. After forging the equipment, it will gain the power of lightning.
He found a treasure!
The power of lightning was the attribute with the strongest attack power, if this purple obsidian was used to forge a weapon, its power would be higher than the Bloodlust Sword.
If it became a stage three weapon, it could be given to Eric as a gift, that would be a good present to his future father-in-law.
After making up his mind, Ye Feng bought the purple obsidian.
“Ding! Detecting that the Host has found a special material, the Host will be rewarded with the forging blueprint of [Thunder Sword], and the chart of [Lightning Formation].”
Hearing the clear voice in his head, Ye Feng felt a sense of joy.
To think that this purple obsidian did not just reward him a forging blueprint, it also gave him a formation chart.
Having stayed with Nyzo for so many years, Ye Feng’s efforts were not wasted.
Formations were only usable by weapons of stage three and above, they had to be carved on the weapon before they were formed, that would be considered a true stage three weapon.
However, carving formations was a difficult matter, with any slight carelessness, the forging would fail.
This was also why forging stage three weapons had a low rate of success.
...
Returning to the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng closed the door and lit the furnace.
He was completely invested in the forging process.
Ye Feng did not hurry to use the purple obsidian or forge the stage two weapons, he searched for a bunch of ordinary materials to practice the Lightning Formation first.
At the same time, Ye Feng had a daring idea in his mind.
Using a tiny amount of stage two materials together with some stage one materials and adding a formation, he wanted to see what grade the forged weapon would be.
Time passed gradually, the sound of hammering could be heard from the Blacksmith Shop unceasingly.
After several failed attempts, Ye Feng finally succeeded in carving the Lightning Formation onto the weapon.
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two inferior-grade [Knight’s Longsword].”
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 50 fire elemental points, 50 lightning elemental points, and an increase in physical strength.”
[Knight’s Longsword]
Grade: Stage Two Inferior-grade
Attack Power: 520
Durability: 100
Special Trait: There is a chance to add lightning to attacks and increase attack power by 10%.
Success!
He successfully forged a stage two weapon.
Even though it was only stage two inferior-grade, Ye Feng merely used less than a third of the stage two materials compared to forging a normal stage two weapon.
If news of this spread, some of the Master Blacksmiths’ jaws would drop.
Even though it lacked durability, the impact was small.
After all, this Knight’s Longsword was able to reach stage two because of the supplemented formation.
“Can I try to use a large amount of stage two materials and a small amount of stage three materials to forge a stage three weapon?” Placing the Knight’s Longsword aside, Ye Feng had another daring idea in his head.
It was worth a shot!
Thinking so, Ye Feng raised the temperature of the furnace and took out the small amount of stage three materials that he had.
The new round of forging started.
Ye Feng was completely invested in his work, his bronze colored skin shone like oil under the light of the furnace, he gave off a manly aura.
After a day and night passed, along with countless hammer strikes, a brand new weapon took shape.
After Ye Feng controlled the energy in his body to carve the formation on the weapon, it was finally completed.
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two superior-grade [Knight’s Heavy Sword].”
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 fire elemental points, 100 lightning elemental points, and an increase in physical strength.”
[Knight’s Longsword]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Attack Power: 900
Durability: 100
Special Trait: There is a chance to add lightning to attacks and increase attack power by 10%.
The forging succeeded but Ye Feng was not happy.
Because his goal was to make a stage three weapon, but the product was only stage two superior-grade.
But thinking about it, Ye Feng understood why.
Even though stage two and three weapons were only separated by one realm, there was still a huge gap between them.
Right now, he had just started to learn how to carve formations, he had more chances in the future.
After stopping, Ye Feng did not invest himself into forging immediately, he checked his own body first.
Right now, his body did not just have fire elemental points, there were also lightning elemental points.
The energy contained in each type of element was different, he had more fire element and less lightning element, it was likely due to the weapons he created.
But what Ye Feng did not understand was the effect that these elements had on his body.
In the future, would elements of other attributes enter his body as well?
Even though Ye Feng was a normal person before, he knew some things about cultivation.
In Marfa Continent, there were two main classes, Knights and Magicians.
Knights mainly relied on their physical strength while Magicians were the opposite, they seemed to fight using the elements of the natural world.
But the difficulty of becoming a Magician was a hundred times as hard as becoming a Knight, thus, Magicians were very rare, their statuses were naturally higher as well.
As for the fusion of both classes, it would be even harder, even in a million people, there might not be one who was simultaneously a Magician and a Knight.
Then, in his current condition, was he considered a Magician?
Shaking his head, Ye Feng did not continue to think about this question.
Forging was his main concern now.
Thinking about it, Ye Feng continued to use a small amount of stage three materials together with mainly stage two materials to forge.
Regardless of whether he could make a stage three weapon, as long as these were at least stage two, he could complete the task that Eric gave him.
But to test his hypothesis regarding the elements, Ye Feng chose mostly fire elemental materials.
Not long after, the sounds of hammering could be heard in the Blacksmith Shop again, it was like a symphony.
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two superior-grade [Blazing Greatsword].”
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 fire elemental points, and an increase in physical strength.”
[Blazing Greatsword]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Attack Power: 930
Durability: 100
Special Trait: There is a chance to add a burning effect to attacks and cause additional damage to the target.
Next, Ye Feng checked his own body, he found that the fire element and lightning element were moving around unceasingly, helping out each other.
It was clear that the energy of the fire element surpassed the lightning element, it was much fiercer.
Thinking about it, Ye Feng tried to communicate with the elemental energy in his body.
At the next moment, a fireball appeared in his hand.
Looking at the fireball, Ye Feng was overjoyed, was he considered a Magician now?
