Previously, when Barn had taken the snake scale from Xia Nan for the first time and suggested making it into an arm shield, Barn had already relied on his many years of forging experience to judge that this material was anything but ordinary.
Later, during simple processing, he had further sensed the toughness and hardness of the snake scale itself.
He could even speculate that, aside from its physical defensive ability, the scale itself most likely possessed magical resistance in some respect.
It was just that the processing time had been too short, and the snake scale's ownership was not in his hands, so he could not conduct complete and comprehensive testing.
To a certain extent, if he had not truly handled so-called "dragon scales" before and understood the texture, appearance, and material characteristics of that kind of material, Barn might even have suspected that Xia Nan had plucked this scale from some adult Great Dragon.
In short, in his view, using Black Scale as the main material, supplemented by metal bone materials of the same level or slightly inferior, and combining it with his forging skill, while he would not claim it could produce some Epic Divine Artifact, forging a piece of high-quality magical equipment would still be very easy.
However, at the time, Xia Nan had yet to obtain a Profession Level, his purse was tight, and his own finances were not enough to pay the expensive bill, so there had been no follow-up.

Xia Nan looked at Barn, who was
