Forging a Level 5 Hidden Weapon
The Spirit Forger sequence is for crafting basic level 4 equipment and weapons, such as swords, spears, and clubs. This requires quenching the metal with Emberfire and hammering it with a forging hammer.
Using the soul as a guide, the properties of metal are fully utilized.
For example, the Mystic Cold Saber, a long sword that exudes a chilling aura, derives its power from the properties of metal.
Crafting ordinary level 4 weapons and equipment does not require forging blueprints.
What can be recorded in the forging table is naturally not an ordinary sword.

[Heaven-Pillaring Ballista Forging Blueprint: Level 6] [Darkspawn Sword Forging Blueprint: Level 6]
Cao Fengqi looked at the blueprints on the forging table with great excitement; they were all good stuff!
The Level 4 Faceless Helm is a type of armor that can be worn on the head to protect the entire head.
It will not obstruct the wearer's vision.
The Strange Light Spear is a long spear belonging to the category of cold weapons, somewhat similar to the Pear Blossom Spear of Great Xia Dynasty.
This Strange Light Spear is somewhat insidious; during combat, it can unleash a powerful beam of light to strike the opponent and disrupt their vision.
"Crafting the Faceless Helm and the Strange Light Spear requires specific metal materials, and I don't currently have any level 4 metal."
He looked at it and thought to himself.
"Among level 5 weapons, the Myriad Beast Net is an absolutely fantastic item."
Cao Fengqi looked at the Myriad Beast Net with a burning gaze.
[Forging Blueprint from Myriad Beast Net: Level 5]
[Required materials: Level 5 soft gold plus 10 Level 4 souls, or primarily Level 5 silk threads, with other Level 5 metals used for auxiliary forging.]
"The materials required for this Myriad Beast Net aren't that strict. If I could make it myself, I could even hunt down the leader of the Mystic Devouring Beast."
The animal traps sold on Myriad Beast Net are completely different from those Spirit Forger Wang.
This beast trap is more like a sophisticated mechanism; once an evil beast enters its range, it will be immediately caught in the net, preventing it from escaping.
This thing is incredibly useful for hunting Mystic Devouring Beast.
"Besides the level 6 weapon that I can't craft myself yet, the most important things to me are the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case and the Great Umbrella."
The Great Umbrella, though called an umbrella, could also be described as a large sword.
It can switch between an umbrella and a sword in an instant, making it an incredibly precise weapon.
The umbrella shape is for defense, the sword shape is for killing!
Only Mystic Artificer with exceptional skills could create such a meticulously Great Umbrella.
As for that Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case ----
[Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case: Level 5]
[Required Materials: The outer box must be crafted from level 4 cold and fire materials. The interior should be secured with level 4 hard metal or other level 4 hard materials as nails, and reinforced with 3 level 4 souls.]
[Note: This can be used by oneself without fire-elemental materials; it can be activated with Emberfire.]
"A disposable hidden weapon, requiring relatively few materials to make, yet capable of unleashing tremendous power. I can forge one myself to save my life."
Cao Fengqi looked at it with a flicker in his eyes. "But now these materials..."
Now, he possesses extraordinary skills, but lacks only the materials to manufacture them.
The Cao Family doesn't even have level 4 metal right now, but they do have the teeth of the Mystic Devouring Beast, which can be used to forge the hidden weapons in the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
He suddenly picked up the Mystic Cold Saber and looked at the hilt. "The materials for the hilt are sufficient. With my extraordinary skills, I can forge a hilt using level 3 materials without affecting the sharpness of the Mystic Cold Saber."
Without further ado, Cao Fengqi's gaze fell on the left side of the forging table, where a forging hammer and forging gauntlets were located.
The so-called gauntlet is actually just a glove.
Cao Fengqi picked up the Mystic Cold Saber forging hammer, and the next second, his entire demeanor changed instantly.
He was like Mystic Artificer had undergone countless trials and tribulations, possessing an unparalleled understanding of everything before him.
"Buzz!"
With a flick of his hand, Emberfire appeared on his palm and spread across the entire forging hammer.
Soon, the entire forging hammer burst into intense flames.
Cao Fengqi picked up the forging hammer and precisely struck the hilt of the Mystic Cold Saber.
"Bang bang bang!"
With each hammer blow, cracks quickly appeared on the level 4 Mystic Cold Saber under the hammering of the Emberfire and the forging hammer.
"Crack!"
In less than a minute, the entire handle of the knife was knocked off. Cao Fengqi focused, striking the handle precisely with each blow.
The sound of hammering was incessant, even and monotonous.
His hammering technique is like a deep, dark current, shaping with gentleness, and the sound of the hammer creates a divine rhythm.
In less than ten minutes, six palm-sized, completely identical thin sheets were created.
If a Mystic Artificer were to witness his skill, he would be filled with awe.
Cao Fengqi watched as the outer shell of the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case was completed, and then took out the teeth of the Mystic Devouring Beast.
With over sixty sharp teeth, he had enough to make 99 spikes with more than half left over.
He put down the forging hammer, took out the forging gauntlets, and put them on.
"Buzz!"
The Emberfire covered the area again, and he began to rub spikes with his hands.
It would take a person who has just become Spirit Forger and is now Transcendent Sequence Individual more than ten days to forge an ordinary level 4 sword.
With the skills of Spirit Forger, one can only forge ordinary level 5 swords and blades; forging such a complex level 5 hidden weapon is completely impossible.
"Use the vessel as your body, the soul as your heart, and temper your spirit."
In the end, Cao Fengqi took out three souls, ignited them with the Emberfire, and integrated them into the vessel.
"Buzz!"
A flash of cold light appeared, Cao Fengqi smiled as he looked at the palm-sized Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case in front of him.
[Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case: Level 5 Quality]
[Effect: Requires Emberfire to activate. When activated, throw at the target to instantly unleash a burst of explosive spikes covering a one-meter radius, dealing extremely high damage. Single-use item.]
"The power of these hidden weapons would surely injure even the leader of the Mystic Devouring Beast. If I could make more, they would be incredibly powerful."
A smile appeared on his face; this thing would be perfect as a trump card to save his life.
After carefully storing it away, Cao Fengqi took out some level 3 materials and repaired the Mystic Cold Saber.
"If I were to forge this Mystic Cold Saber myself, I would only need about 20 jin of metal materials, plus 1 soul."
Cao Fengqi repairing it, he thought about the price of the level 4 weapon at Spirit Forger Wang and felt for the first time how outrageous it was.
No, it's ridiculously dark.
The selling price is exactly ten times the cost price.
Even so, quite a few people still buy it; that's the allure of a monopoly.
He shook his head, glanced at the eight souls he still had in his hand, and took one out to absorb.
Guide the soul into the sea of consciousness where the Heart of Emberfire resides, and enhance the Heart of Emberfire.
Half an hour later, Cao Fengqi took a look.
[Sequence Rank: Spirit Forger (0.1%)]
"Damn, it takes 1000 level 4 souls to level up?"
"Isn't this upgrade a bit too outrageous?"
He saw the increase in experience and his face darkened.
Doesn't this mean he has to kill 1000 evil beasts of the same level as the Rotten Crow Leader Ghost-Faced Spider, Mystic Devouring Beast?
Even a heartless guy like Spirit Forger Wang requires selling over a hundred level 4 equipment pieces before he can upgrade.
No wonder this guy became Spirit Forger four or five years ago, and he's still Spirit Forger now.
Not only is it difficult to improve one's extraordinary skills, but it is also difficult to improve one's extraordinary level.
Note: In the previous chapter, the protagonist's attribute [Lost Land: 10/10] resurrection count was changed to 10 times. Becoming an extraordinary being will grant an additional 5 resurrection opportunities.
I forgot to explain this when I wrote it yesterday, but I've corrected it now.
