The Wraith Short Sword was a Third-Tier Uncanny Artifact, so reforging it started at 100 yuan.
After reforging it once, Luo Fan appraised it with Treasure Appraisal, spending another 26,000-plus in appraisal fees.
But Luo Fan was still dissatisfied with the side effect produced by the reforge, so he reforged it again.
This time, the reforge cost 1,000 yuan, and the appraisal fee reached 25,000.
Yet the result still made Luo Fan frown. Gritting his teeth, he spent another 10,000 on reforging.
This time, the appraisal fee reached 29,000!
The other attributes had not changed; the reforge function primarily affected an Uncanny Artifact's side effects.
Luo Fan felt that the result of this reforge was acceptable.
The side effect was that, after each battle, the wraiths locked inside the short sword would all leave, but each wraith required one Weird Crystal as an offering. Otherwise, there would be a backlash.
This side effect was not a major issue for Luo Fan. After all, even if 100 wraiths were locked inside the short sword, he only needed to provide 100 Weird Crystals.
It did not specify what tier the Weird Crystals had to be, so naturally, first-tier ones would work too.
After three reforges, he had finally brought the side effect to a point he was very satisfied with.
Altogether, the reforging and appraisal fees had cost him over 90,000 in Check-in Funds.
Luo Fan glanced at his balance. Including the initial appraisal fee, his original 820,000-plus in Check-in Funds had now dwindled to just 700,000.
Overall, though, spending over 90,000 on a rule-type Uncanny Artifact-one that suited his fighting style well and had only a minor side effect-was well worth it.
The Hope Convoy hurried along and reached the vicinity of Yi City in just over a day.
