After placing the items in their designated positions, the blacksmith said to Gu Xi, "Please stand in Position Two. No matter what happens later, do not move."

Gu Xi didn't know what route the blacksmith was taking, but since the blacksmith had made this arrangement, Gu Xi naturally wouldn't object.

At that moment, Gu Xi immediately stood in the designated position and watched as the blacksmith placed a Soul Crystal that looked like a flame in the empty Position Four.

As soon as the Soul Crystal was placed on the ground, Gu Xi felt the Magic Array on the ground light up from the energy of the Soul Crystal.

Starting from where Gu Xi was standing, all five positions of the Magic Array simultaneously flashed with light and began to move towards the Illusion Magic Staff placed within the Magic Array.

Under the influence of the Magic Array, Gu Xi only saw the Illusion Magic Staff fly up under the power of Mana.

At the same time, the two materials he threw into the Magic Array also flew up on their own.

The pointer is the fastest reacting of all, as it is made of pure metal.

After taking flight, it melted directly in the power of the flames, quickly turning into metal blocks of various sizes.

Under the influence of a mysterious force, these metal blocks transformed into various numbers and hands, seemingly in the style of a clock.

However, Gu Xi was a little unclear why, whether it was numbers or pointers, there were always some sharp corners or wing-like marks.

These numbers and pointers are attached to the bottom of the Illusion Magic Staff, appearing like patterns on it.

Under these circumstances, the Illusion Magic Staff emitted a dazzling light, and all the power within the staff was activated.

At the same time, Gu Xi noticed that the length of the Illusion Magic Staff was increasing, and its style was also changing.

This situation surprised Gu Xi, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Gu Xi understood that the Illusion Magic Staff had already begun to change.

Just as Gu Xi was about to adjust the design of the Illusion Magic Staff to make it more suitable for him, the Mine Core suddenly Crush on the spot, and a large amount of gemstone powder fell from the sky, sweeping towards the Illusion Magic Staff like a tornado.

At this moment, the Illusion Magic Staff wand began to turn transparent, looking like a slender gemstone.

Then, some green vines appeared on the tip of the Illusion Magic Staff.

The change before his eyes startled Gu Xi. He wanted to see what was going on, but found that his Cold Wind Staff had disappeared.

It seems that the vines on it are a manifestation of the fusion of the Cold Wind Staff.

Amidst these changes, Gu Xi gained some insight. He stretched his hand forward, his right hand loosely clenched, yet he could clearly feel something appearing in his hand.

Gu Xi clenched his right hand, and then a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and he was sent out of the Magic Array.

At this moment, he was holding a magic staff that was about 1.9 meters long.

This magic wand is significantly more complete than the previous Illusion Magic Staff, consisting of three parts: the head, the shaft, and the base.

The top of the staff is a nest-shaped support made of bluish-green vines. This support is only one-third the size of a normal person's palm when closed. In the concave part, there is some clear water with a gem-like luster.

Hidden beneath the branches and leaves that form the outer nest is an inconspicuous head.

A crescent moon made of bright copper-colored metal was wedged into the staff, and from a distance, it looked as if the moon was passing right through the treetops.

Below the head of the staff is the straight shaft.

Originally, the Illusion Magic Staff was only 1.6 meters long, its entire body flashing with green light, and it looked somewhat crooked.

It's obvious at a glance that this is a staff made entirely of wood.

Now it's completely different. The staff in front of us no longer flashes with green light, and it doesn't look like it's made of pure wood. Instead, it's a wooden staff with black, red, and green metal spiral patterns wrapped around it.

Between the spiral patterns, abstract patterns resembling clocks, constellations, or magic books occasionally appear.

These abstract patterns are the key to the staff's body; you wouldn't notice anything unusual about them if you weren't paying attention.

However, if you're not careful, you'll notice that these patterns are flashing continuously in a peculiar rhythm.

Continuing down the shaft of the staff, you reach the tapering base.

This change was influenced by Gu Xi and the selection of the magic wand's own characteristics.

Gu Xi was used to holding his staff with one hand, and the length of his previous Cold Wind Staff was just right for him.

Moreover, due to the combat characteristics of the Cold Wind Staff, Gu Xi habitually sticks the staff into the ground.

Compared to the Cold Wind Staff, the Illusion Magic Staff that had just been fused and enhanced was significantly longer.

This is clearly a long weapon; it can be picked up with one hand, but it's unlikely that you'll be able to handle it as easily as before.

For this reason Gu Xi specially adjusted the bottom of the staff so that, at certain times, Gu Xi could plant the Illusion Magic Staff in the ground without affecting his ability to use the staff to attack enemies.

The pointed end of the staff has a metallic effect, while the surface is made of vine roots. This transformation makes it look like a metallic tree root.

It doesn't have this effect when you hold it in your hand, but as soon as you plant it in the ground, the roots will automatically spread out and firmly Rooting in the ground, functioning as Illusion Magic Staff.

Gu Xi was quite satisfied with the changes in the Illusion Magic Staff before his eyes.

When Gu Xi was carrying the Illusion Magic Staff, he could see that Illusion Magic Staff attributes had not been enhanced, and its characteristics and Illusion Magic Staff effects had not changed at all.

But the Illusion Magic Staff became noticeably more comfortable to use in Gu Xi's hands.

Meanwhile, the Illusion Magic Staff has opened six sockets and transferred the effects of the two gems that Gu Xi had previously socketed to it.

It can be said that the current Illusion Magic Staff has undergone a complete transformation.

Now it has truly become Gu Xi's exclusive weapon, instead of the way it was before, when Gu Xi would feel something was off when he carried it.

Holding the Illusion Magic Staff, Gu Xi circled around twice before speaking to the blacksmith.

"Your skills are truly impressive. I believe you will soon become a master blacksmith."

The blacksmith was quite happy to hear Gu Xi's words.

He proudly raised his head and said, "Oh, not at all. I only have some skills. I haven't reached the level of a master yet."

"That's enough. You've already surpassed the level of an ordinary blacksmith."

The blacksmith burst into laughter upon hearing this.

At this point, Gu Xi also asked about upgrading purple equipment to Orange Equipment.

As a blacksmith, one would naturally know more about this matter than others.

"What the Huang Family boy said is only half true. Purple equipment can be upgraded to Orange Equipment through various means, but that's not the most troublesome part."

The real problem is that the items you use to upgrade need to have the potential to reach the level of Orange Equipment.

Without that potential, investing more resources and time is just a waste.
