Advancement: Weapon Master Sequence
[Level 9 Blade Angel Corpses: 130]
[2 corpses of level 9 powerhouses]
[Level 9 Equipment and Weapons: 10 pieces]
[Level 9 dilapidated equipment/weapon: 523 jin]
[Tier 8 Weapons and Equipment: 55 pieces]
[Level 7 & 8 Blade Angel, Three-Eyed Crow, Bloody Scarecrow, and 922 Superhuman Corpses]
[Transcendent Source Metal: 1]
[Level 8...]
"Haha, we've hit the jackpot this time!"
Inside the Cao Family's sanctuary, Cao Fengqi tallied up his spoils and couldn't help but laugh.
Upon arriving at the Insect Nest Ten Thousand Gu Pool, the corpses of various evil spirits and beasts, along with their battle pets, were placed inside for fusion and enhancement.
"After this round of upgrades to all the battle pets, I wonder how many will reach level 10."
Cao Fengqi murmured, his eyes shining, "There's another important thing: to elevate my extraordinary profession as Artifact Refiner to the Weapon Master Sequence."
This time, he not only reaped huge rewards at the Fate Witch Grand Church, but also hunted down quite a few Aberrant Claw Demon at the mines.
The resources are plentiful!
"There's still time."
After checking the time, Cao Fengqi immediately took out the souls one by one and began absorbing them.
Because his Beast Shepherd realm had already reached the Fourth Sequence, his speed in absorbing level 7 souls was still very fast.
One by one, souls entered the extraordinary Emberfire Core within the sea of consciousness, and the experience points of the Smelter increased at an alarming rate.
Physical fitness and mental strength are also gradually improving.
During the transition from the Third Sequence to the Fourth Sequence, for every 1% increase in experience in the Artifact Refiner Sequence, 25 points of constitution and 5 points of spirit power can be gained.
This is completely different from the 50/50 split of the Beast Shepherd profession.
"The attribute point allocation for the Beast Shepherd class is too mediocre. After I, the Artifact Refiner, advanced to the Weapon Master Sequence, my combat power has truly entered the Fourth Sequence."
"I will also possess the strength to hunt down level 9 evil spirits and beasts."
Cao Fengqi pondered in his heart.
Time passed little by little.
With the infusion of the soul, the extraordinary Emberfire Core in the sea of consciousness, filled with ciphertext, began to change.
They grow, wriggle, and combine, gradually forming the shapes of knives, spears, and clubs.
Upon breakthrough to the Fourth Sequence, a phantom image related to one's profession will condense around the Extraordinary Emberfire Core.
During the Ranch Master Sequence, a magnificent and boundless gray pasture phantom condensed in the sea of consciousness.
Now, as we draw ever closer to the Weapon Master Sequence, blades, spears, axes, and halberds are coalescing, radiating a powerful and sharp aura.
"Buzz!"
I don't know how much time passed, but a booming sound exploded in my mind.
A powerful and Transcendent Emberfire rose up around Cao Fengqi.
[Melting and transforming, all things return to their origin.]
[The finishing touch of the forging pattern brings the vessel to life.]
[Forging, Master!]
The vast and profound truths of forging surged into Cao Fengqi's mind. Countless forging patterns, the mysteries of weapon crafting, and thousands of casting techniques intertwined and flowed in his mind, instantly filling the gaps in his understanding of forging.
"Forging spirits and infusing materials to awaken the weapon; master craftsmen's exquisite workmanship to shape it; melting and casting in the abyss to combine the elixir and reshape the essence of all materials!"
Cao Fengqi possesses profound insight. Forging Spirit awakens the essence of materials, Secret Craftsmanship sculpts the form of objects, and Melting and Casting dissolves impurities and Reconstitution the constraints of materials. The Fourth Sequence represents the ultimate realm of forging that transcends the mundane.
Weapon Master Sequence!
In the hands of a master, one is not bound by formal frameworks or confined by fixed techniques.
Thousands of weapons are forged at will, a single spark of inspiration brings art to life, and a cold blade conceals a spirit.
Any weapon forged by Weapon Master can acquire a spirit and develop its own sharpness!
Cao Fengqi absorbed this information, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Above the Weapon Master, and at the Fifth Sequence of Artifact Refiner, is the Artifact Controller..."
"This Artifact Controller seems to possess not only forging weapons, but also extremely strong combat skills?"
He examined the inheritance information, a hint of surprise on his face.
Does this mean that even support classes can possess formidable combat power in the later stages of the game?
Just like Sister Youya's Worldweaver, she didn't have much combat power in the First Sequence, but her combat power became extremely strong in the Second Sequence.
"Forget it, this isn't something I can figure out right now. Weapon Master needs a lot of souls to break through to the Artifact Controller."
"Moreover, even if we were to prioritize advancement now, we would prioritize advancing the Beast Herder Sequence."
Cao Fengqi's mind stirred, and he looked at his own attributes.
[Cao Fengqi.]
[Transcendent Sequence: Artifact Refiner Sequence, Beast Shepherd Sequence] (Open to view details)
[Constitution: 5625 (equipment can add another 180)]
[Mental Strength: 3050 (Can be increased by 510 with equipment)]
[Techniques: Swordsmanship (10 dan), Archery (9 dan), Movement Technique (9 dan)... (omitted)]
[Equipment: Level 9 Prison Eye, Flame Dragon Wind Sword, Witch Ring, Nation-Protecting Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow, Azure Surge General-Guarding Cloak, others omitted]

[Lost Land: 10/10]
[Blue Star's Blessing: Gathering Technique, Insight, Construction, and Language and Writing Comprehension.]
[Enable cheat/hack?]
"My physique has skyrocketed to 5625! Heh, now most battle pets are no match for me."
"The resources at our disposal are quite impressive."
Cao Fengqi watched, a smile appearing on his face.
His gaze then fell on the information regarding the Artifact Refiner Sequence.
[Transcendent Sequence: Artifact Refiner Class]
[Sequence Rank: Weapon Master (0%)]
[Transcendent Cultivation Technique: Soul-Guiding Emberfire-Igniting Technique]
[Extraordinary Skill: 9th Rank (Perfect 9th Rank for Artifact Controller)]
"My extraordinary skills have reached the ninth level of Artifact Controller. I can easily forge level 10 weapons, and theoretically I can also forge level 11 weapons. It's just that the power of the Transcendent Emberfire cannot melt them."
Cao Fengqi thought to himself.
In addition, level 10 weapons offer a significant upgrade over level 9 weapons and can generate weapon spirits.
The spirit of the artifact will automatically protect its master and can form a spiritual contract. Even if it is thrown out, it can be retrieved with spiritual power.
"Unfortunately, there's very little level 10 metal available these days."
"The limitations of the Artifact Refiner profession increase as you progress, since high-grade metals become increasingly scarce."
"Fortunately, once you reach the Artifact Controller Sequence, the Artifact Refiner profession is no longer limited to forging weapons; they also gain combat skills."
Cao Fengqi thought to himself.
Feeling the surge in his power, he was overjoyed.
The battle pets in the Insect Nest Ten Thousand Gu Pool are still improving. Once they are fully improved, his overall strength will double.
Everything is ready.
"A few hours later, the migration began."
Cao Fengqi stretched, exhausted from working on this for so long.
He returned to his room in a cheerful mood, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
They felt more confident about the upcoming migration and the matters Fifth Land of Shelter!
