Legendary

The Thunderwood Staff Yun Xi bought from Flower Country's official channels, while it could boost spell damage, was actually quite simple to obtain.

There were many spirit woods in the wild, and quite a few had been struck by lightning. You just needed to process them simply, carving them into a 'staff' shape with a knife. This was 'natural spirit wood,' a gift from nature.

It didn't require an Alchemist's crafting, and since it was almost everywhere, its selling price was very cheap, costing only around 100 Copper Coins.

However, these accessories that could increase Spiritual Energy absorption speed and Spirit Attributes were different. They were all meticulously crafted by Alchemists using special methods.

Yun Xi didn't consider low-level accessories; they would be quickly phased out for her.

Among the ordinary accessories, she chose to buy the [Jade Spring Stone Necklace].

As for the Fireball Technique attached to the [Fire Blaze Stone Ring], Yun Xi planned to learn it herself later.

The Fireball Technique attached to this ring had too low an attack power. Even with double damage against Strange Creatures, it was far inferior to her Water Ball Technique and Water Arrow Technique, so there was no need to buy it.

After buying the Jade Spring Stone Necklace, Yun Xi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you not have any higher-level accessories in your shop?"

"Customer, the crafting time for higher-level accessories is too long. If you have a need, we can accept custom orders, and the price is negotiable."

Seeing Yun Xi readily purchase the necklace, which cost as much as 3 Green Crystals, the shop assistant knew she wasn't short on money and thus qualified for customization.

"Can you give me a brief introduction?" Yun Xi's heart stirred; a shop with an Alchemist indeed offered such a service.

"It's like this: you first state your requirements, and I will forward them to our Alchemist.

If he confirms he can craft it, we can discuss the price, including material and crafting fees. Once both parties agree, we can sign a contract and begin production."

"What if the Alchemist makes a mistake? Who bears the cost of the materials?"

"Regarding that, according to our shop's custom order contract, for general materials, we will not charge you any additional fees. The material costs for the second and third attempts will be borne by our shop.

However, if the materials are particularly precious or extremely special, the Alchemist will inform you of his success rate. You can then choose whether to proceed.

For example, with this Fire Blaze Stone Ring, if we only have one Fire Blaze Stone available, and the Alchemist's success rate is only 50%, if you choose to proceed and the Alchemist fails, the material cost will not be refunded, but the crafting fee will be fully refunded."

This method was quite reasonable. In her previous life, in the region she was from, the material costs for the first three failed attempts by an Alchemist were borne 80% by the customer.

However, if the fourth attempt also failed, the Alchemist would have to provide a full refund, including the material costs for the first three attempts.

This model had significant loopholes. If the crafter had extremely bad luck, they might deliberately fail the first two attempts.

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll place an order."

"My requirement is for accessories that can resist Appraisal Skill at least at the ordinary level, the higher the level, the better. Can you make them?" Yun Xi didn't state her requirements too high, to avoid the Alchemist refusing outright.

"Okay, I'll ask our Alchemist right away."

Soon, the other party replied to Yun Xi.

"Customer, we have accurately conveyed your requirements to the Alchemist. His reply is that he can make high-level anti-appraisal accessories, but the success rate is only about 30%.

For ordinary anti-appraisal accessories, his success rate is as high as 80%.

If you are interested, you can add him as a system friend and inquire about the specific matters before deciding whether to proceed."

Yun Xi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She hadn't expected them to actually be able to craft it. It seemed this Alchemist had definitely reached a high level.

She just couldn't figure out why he chose to settle in Qinglan Town.

Yun Xi didn't leave. She sat down in the shop's lounge area, opened the system interface, and added the high-level Alchemist as a friend.

The other party was in hidden status, with their name, avatar, and level unviewable. Yun Xi directly added a note: 'Enchanting Accessories Shop High-Level Alchemist.'

[Hello, I am the customer who just contacted you from the shop.]

[Hmm, hello. I heard from Xiao Li that you want equipment with high-level anti-appraisal capabilities, right? Actually, I have a piece of related equipment ready. If you're in a hurry, you can choose to buy it.]

After speaking, the other party sent the equipment details to Yun Xi.

[Black Mist Stone Earring (Legendary): Grants the 'Scouting Protection' trait, which can defend against all scouting-type spells.]

...Legendary grade equipment? She wasn't mistaken, was she?

Low-level, mid-level (ordinary), high-level, and legendary corresponded to levels 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, and 30-40 respectively.

Legendary was the highest tier below level 40.

She hadn't encountered anyone above level 40 in her previous life. It was said that above level 40, one reached the God Tier.

And now, she was actually seeing Legendary equipment... This was indeed Qinglan Town, right? Not an auction house in some major city.

While she was thinking, the Alchemist replied to her again.

[I know you have many questions. You can listen to me explain slowly. This piece of equipment is one of the items left behind by my late mentor. I can no longer use it, and I've encountered some difficulties that require urgent funding, which is why I'm preparing to sell it.]

[Legendary grade accessories are not convenient to sell in the shop. Since you have this need, I'm showing it to you. However, don't get too excited. The value of this equipment is self-evident, and its price won't be cheap.]

[The lowest price I can offer is 300 Blue Crystals, no negotiation.]

[You can pay in installments over 300 months, with 1 Blue Crystal or 120 Green Crystals per month.]

Yun Xi...

She highly doubted anyone in this small town could afford it.

No wonder the other party had casually shown it to her; they were betting she had money?

[If you're that desperate for money, why don't you sell it in a big city? You'd definitely get a high price at auction!] Yun Xi immediately found a loophole and began to question.

Such a high-level Alchemist must have come from a big city and would surely know the way there.

[To be honest, I've run into some trouble and can't leave Qinglan Town for the time being. I don't trust anyone else to take it to a big city for consignment, so I can only try my luck here in Qinglan Town.

Allowing you to pay in installments is my biggest concession. I hope you can understand.]

The other party explained clearly and concisely to Yun Xi.

[Are you sure you obtained this Legendary equipment through legitimate means from your mentor?] Yun Xi felt she had to ask for clarification before spending such a large sum on a piece of Legendary equipment.
