The next morning.

Ye Feng repaired the Blacksmith Shop’s door before heading to the market to buy the materials that he lacked.

The bag of gold coins that Eric gave was sufficient to get all the materials he needed.

The market was open to free trade, most of the goods were materials that adventurers brought back from their exploration.

When Nyzo was around, Ye Feng would often help to purchase materials in the market, he had a rather clear understanding of the market’s situation.

Other than getting the materials for the twenty stage two weapons, Ye Feng had another goal, he wanted to find some special materials.

Like the black iron stone that underwent some special change.

With the system’s analysis, he could easily decipher if those materials had special traits.

After getting all the materials he needed, Ye Feng started to tour the market.

Indeed, his hard work paid off.

Ye Feng’s gaze landed on a piece of purple crystal.

[Purple Obsidian]

Grade: Stage Three Middle-grade

Special Trait: Having absorbed the power of lightning, it has gotten much stronger. After forging the equipment, it will gain the power of lightning.

He found a treasure!

The power of lightning was the attribute with the strongest attack power, if this purple obsidian was used to forge a weapon, its power would be higher than the Bloodlust Sword.

If it became a stage three weapon, it could be given to Eric as a gift, that would be a good present to his future father-in-law.

After making up his mind, Ye Feng bought the purple obsidian.

“Ding! Detecting that the Host has found a special material, the Host will be rewarded with the forging blueprint of [Thunder Sword], and the chart of [Lightning Formation].”

Hearing the clear voice in his head, Ye Feng felt a sense of joy.

To think that this purple obsidian did not just reward him a forging blueprint, it also gave him a formation chart.

Having stayed with Nyzo for so many years, Ye Feng’s efforts were not wasted.

Formations were only usable by weapons of stage three and above, they had to be carved on the weapon before they were formed, that would be considered a true stage three weapon.

However, carving formations was a difficult matter, with any slight carelessness, the forging would fail.

This was also why forging stage three weapons had a low rate of success.

…

Returning to the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng closed the door and lit the furnace.

He was completely invested in the forging process.

Ye Feng did not hurry to use the purple obsidian or forge the stage two weapons, he searched for a bunch of ordinary materials to practice the Lightning Formation first.

At the same time, Ye Feng had a daring idea in his mind.

Using a tiny amount of stage two materials together with some stage one materials and adding a formation, he wanted to see what grade the forged weapon would be.

Time passed gradually, the sound of hammering could be heard from the Blacksmith Shop unceasingly.

After several failed attempts, Ye Feng finally succeeded in carving the Lightning Formation onto the weapon.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two inferior-grade [Knight’s Longsword].”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 50 fire elemental points, 50 lightning elemental points, and an increase in physical strength.”

[Knight’s Longsword]

Grade: Stage Two Inferior-grade

Attack Power: 520

Durability: 100

Special Trait: There is a chance to add lightning to attacks and increase attack power by 10%.

Success!

He successfully forged a stage two weapon.

Even though it was only stage two inferior-grade, Ye Feng merely used less than a third of the stage two materials compared to forging a normal stage two weapon.

If news of this spread, some of the Master Blacksmiths’ jaws would drop.

Even though it lacked durability, the impact was small.

After all, this Knight’s Longsword was able to reach stage two because of the supplemented formation.

“Can I try to use a large amount of stage two materials and a small amount of stage three materials to forge a stage three weapon?” Placing the Knight’s Longsword aside, Ye Feng had another daring idea in his head.
