First Grade!
This had been Jiang Li's ultimate goal all along. After mastering the Four Symbols Spirit God Forging Method, he had also gained an understanding of the differences between First Grade and Second Grade.
Second Grade required divine materials and exacting forging methods and craftsmanship.

Divine treasures had always been scarce. They had to endure the passage of time, weather the trials of heaven and earth, and escape calamities brought by people. Often, these divine materials were harvested before they could become divine treasures.
Earth dragon black emperor gold, for instance, was a divine material, but not a divine treasure.
Yet if one day it could fully merge with the dragon vein and national fortune, it might become a nation-guarding divine treasure, rare even among divine treasures.
Such divine treasures could even draw upon the power of national fortune, placing them beyond the scope of ordinary materials.
Thus, without any divine treasure materials in his possession, forging a First Grade weapon was almost impossible for Jiang Li.
But Jiang Li had found an alternative approach: the Four Symbols Spirit-Infusion Method.

First, the materials had to be sufficient to produce at least a Pseudo-First Grade weapon. With the Azure Fox Demon King's remains, earth dragon black emperor gold, and the pure demon emperor bloodline of a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, forging a Pseudo-First Grade weapon would not be difficult if the workmanship
