[Unnamed (Blue, Primary Weapon)]

[Attack: 13-16]

[After equipping: Constitution +2. Intelligence +3]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 2, Constitution 3, Intelligence 3]

[Special Feature 1: Cold Wind +3. Attacks have a built-in +3 Cold effect. When using offensive or defensive spells such as Corpse Explosion, Bone Spike, or Bone Shield, all attacks gain a +3 Cold effect.]

[Special Feature 2: Heavenly Vine. The staff's length can automatically change between 2.5 and 7.5 meters. When the staff's length exceeds 2.5 meters, it will actively attack nearby enemies (physical attack).]

[Socket Slot: Rotten Skull (Bone Shield +1), Empty, Empty, Empty]

[Note: For a mage, charging forward with a staff in hand will be the most beautiful spell they ever unleash.]

Looking at the long staff in front of him, Gu Xi didn't rush to name it. He reached out and lifted the staff.

The moment Gu Xi received the long staff, he understood why the equipment required 2 points of strength.

This staff is a bit taller than Gu Xi's; without sufficient strength, Gu Xi wouldn't be able to lift it with either hand.

Unlike now, Gu Xi could still lift the staff with one hand and use it like Long Spear.

"There are wooden figures over there; you can go there and test the staff's effects."

"Good."

Gu Xi nodded in agreement and, led by the blacksmith apprentice, arrived at the shooting range near the Blacksmith Shop.

Unlike other shooting ranges, here, in addition to the wooden figures used as targets, there are also some wooden figures lying on the ground.

Gu Xi was taken aback but immediately understood that these were the corpses needed to simulate a necromancer.

This pleased Gu Xi, since many of his skills required a corpse to unleash.

Bone Spike!

Gu Xi turned his hand, and with a 2.5-meter-long staff held horizontally, a Bone Spike flew out.

As the Bone Spike flew out, Gu Xi clearly felt that this Bone Spike was completely different from the previous one.

Previously, the Bone Spike that flew out were all white bone, but now they have a light blue tinge.

When the Bone Spike landed on the wooden figure, Deep Blue aura appeared on the figure.

Gu Xi, who had fought alongside Luna, understood that this was the effect of being frozen; it seemed that the +3 cold wind effect was quite effective.

Then Gu Xi turned his staff and pointed it at a wooden figure on the ground, saying, "Corpse Explosion!"

The wooden dummy exploded on the spot, and all the targets nearby that were hit by the shards of the dummy turned Deep Blue.

After trying it a few times, Gu Xi found that the staff was still effective.

With just a flick of his finger, he could unleash the spell smoothly, and Gu Xi could clearly feel that the spell's power would increase slightly.

Even the Undead Tendrils and White Bone Storm that Gu Xi had just learned were enhanced by this, so it can be said that the first characteristic greatly improved Gu Xi's combat power.

Of course, the biggest change is in the Bone Shield.

When Gu Xi released the Bone Shield, a layer of ice appeared on Bone Shield, and the level of the Bone Shield increased to level 2. The Bone Shield that appeared next to Gu Xi also became more obvious.

This gave Gu Xi the idea of embedding more things into the staff.

However, Gu Xi also understood that things like Rotten Skull were rare and hard to come by.

If it weren't for the opportunity to integrate it during the creation of the staff, the Rotten Skull wouldn't have been able to be used for embedding.

Next time I want it inlaid, it will be for some special items.

The first property of the Gu Xi, Gu Xi, has been tested.

The effect was amazing.

So he began experimenting with the second characteristic.

However, Gu Xi for a long time but couldn't find a way to change the length of the staff. The staff was still the same length as when he got it, with no possibility of it getting longer.

This left Gu Xi speechless.

Could this second characteristic be a useless skill?

Gu Xi, looking puzzled, wanted to experiment a bit more, since there was one particular characteristic there.

If not handled properly, this staff is no better than a green staff.

Somewhat helplessly, Gu Xi could only plant his staff on the ground and seriously think about where he had gone wrong.

But he didn't expect that he would accidentally use too much force and drive the staff into the ground.

Then the staff began to change. New vines started to grow from the top of the staff, and inside the vines were many metal plates that looked like vertebrae.

This situation made Gu Xi's eyes light up. He quickly pulled the staff out of the ground, but as soon as he pulled it out, it returned to its original state.

After trying it a few times, Gu Xi understood what was going on.

This change will only happen when the staff is planted in the ground.

After the change, the staff will no longer be under Gu Xi's control; it will only silently protect Gu Xi. Anyone who tries to get close to Gu Xi will be attacked by vines and spine.

However, due to the length of the vines, the protected area is only about five meters.

As for the defensive and offensive effects of the vines and metal plates, Gu Xi couldn't test them because there were no offensive wooden dummies at the shooting range.

However, Gu Xi finally understood the function of this second characteristic. The effect of this characteristic was not bad, at least it was not a useless skill.

After trying the skill a few more times, Gu Xi nodded in satisfaction.

It must be admitted that this staff is quite powerful, and it has comprehensively enhanced Gu Xi's various combat abilities.

This was not a waste of all the materials I brought out.

Happy, Gu Xi picked up his staff and returned to the Blacksmith Shop.

Before Gu Xi could speak, the blacksmith apprentice told the blacksmith the information he had just recorded.

The blacksmith nodded in satisfaction. "Good, I've produced another famous piece of equipment. So, have you thought of a name for this staff yet?"

"I've thought it through. The most prominent feature of this staff right now is the 'Cold Wind,' which greatly enhances my combat power. For now, let's call this staff 'Cold Wind.' Once 'Cold Wind' reaches Purple Quality, we'll change the name based on its subsequent changes."

On his way back, Gu Xi had already decided on the name of the staff and even considered how he would take care of it.

"Cold Wind? That's a good name. It seems you really like this staff."

"Of course, this staff is quite good."

"So, the cost of forging this weapon is 3,000 yuan. Would you like to pay in cash or go through the guild's procedures?"

"Pay now."

Gu Xi didn't know the guild's procedures, but he happened to have some money on hand and wouldn't go through such complicated procedures.

As for whether the staff was too expensive, Gu Xi didn't think much of it; he believed the Cold Wind Staff was well worth the price.

After receiving the money, the blacksmith said to Gu Xi, "You can find some time to enchant the staff. Given the characteristics of the Frostwind, either Frost Soul or Dead Zone would be good choices."

Alternatively, if you want to have gemstones set in your jewelry, you can try looking in jewelry stores; they usually have some nice gemstones for sale.
