Crafting Soul Tools had long since become as familiar to Jiang Hai as driving a cart down a well-traveled road.
Moreover, during his year or so on the Longqinus Continent, Jiang Hai had learned its methods for forging Magic Weapons alongside his studies of magic.
After a single night, three Soul Tools lay before Jiang Hai, all high-grade: one Level 7 and two Level 8.
In this world, they were three Sub-Divine Artifacts.
Sub-Divine Artifacts were worth a fortune on the Longqinus Continent, and because Jiang Hai had combined the crafting methods of two worlds, all three Soul Tools stood among the finest of their respective grades.
Of the three Soul Tools, one was a Level 7 magic staff that could greatly increase a Mage's meditation speed and the speed at which they cast spells. The other two were Level 8 magic robes, each equipped with a triggered magic power shield capable of blocking Purple Level magic.
