The sky outside was already dark, and Fang Yi was still in Billyto's small blacksmith shop, sitting in front of the fireplace with the dwarf blacksmith, quietly listening to each other's story.

The light of the deep source is an artificial gem, and the specific source is no longer possible. The biggest possibility is the relics left over from the Naser Empire.

According to legend, applying this kind of thing to any material will produce a magical effect: the repulsion between various materials will be greatly reduced. Whether it is a blacksmith, tailor, or pharmacist, it can mix various ingredients together more easily without worrying about repulsion.

Even the exact ratio between various materials will change accordingly. Originally, a gem may be completely damaged after 10 seconds of smelting in the furnace. However, after adding the light of the deep source, the gem may be intact and still in its best condition after more than 10 seconds.

This situation also applies to herbs, dragon skins and other things.

No one knows the principle of this magical power, but the result of this power is obvious: the best potion that was originally extremely difficult to prepare successfully, or some semi-divine artifact that was rare in a century, has become no longer so far away.

Yes, that's right, it's a semi-artifact! The light of the deep source can be fused with any material. Even if Billyto wants to create a semi-artifact now, it can play a huge role!

If it weren't for the artifact that could not be made with human power, I wonder if this kind of amazing material would be useful...

"There are at least dozens of materials needed to create a semi-artifact!" Billyto stared at Fang Yi with a little excitement, and kept rubbing his hands. "According to my estimate, the probability of success can be increased by at least 10%!"

Billyto's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became more and more excited. Fang Yi just looked down at the inconspicuous gem in his hand and pursed his lips tightly.

10%! I wonder what the success rate of the master-level blacksmith to create a semi-artifact is 30%? Increase the success rate by one-third out of thin air?

"Then you said just now, I can't quickly improve my skills in the Heart of Red Dragon. What's going on?" Fang Yi took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous mood, and then asked.

"Hmph!" Hearing this, the dwarf blacksmith first snorted disdainfully. But then he thought of himself making a vow. Then he spoke: "That guy Kratos does like to train young people, but he doesn't understand the pros and cons!"

"How long did it take you to advance to a professional blacksmith under Kratos? One week? Half a month? You don't think there are any sequelae at such a fast speed?"

"...sequences? What are the sequelae?" Fang Yi was so cold that his back was said by the dwarf. He asked anxiously, thinking that would Kratos still harm me?

Billy Tort paused. He reached out and picked up a blacksmith hammer from the side. He continued, "As an apprentice of a senior blacksmith, the benefits you get from your teacher are not without limitations."

Fang Yi listened attentively to the dwarf's explanation and then understood what the other party meant.

Each blacksmith in the system has different characteristics. Some blacksmiths will give the apprentice's initial guidance, such as Kratos; some blacksmiths pay more attention to later training, and the bonus of skill proficiency will not be reflected until the professional or even the master level.

As an apprentice of Kratos, Fang Yi's speed of becoming a professional blacksmith is indeed outrageously fast, but that's all. From the time of his major to the master, Fang Yi could no longer get any bonus for improving his proficiency. Even if he became a disciple, he could no longer enjoy the bonus of other npc blacksmiths.

This rule invisibly greatly increases the difficulty of players taking advantage of loopholes. You should know that it is not a simple matter to be a master of NPC, and it is even more so for someone like Fang Yi with super charm.

Then obviously, it is much more affordable to obtain speed bonus in the later stage than in the early stage - you should know that compared to before the professional level, the speed of improving proficiency in the later stage is really slow.

"Oh...that's nothing,"

Fang Yi scratched his head, but there was no regret. Moreover, Fang Yi knew that practicing life skills was a long way to go, and it was far from accomplishing overnight. "My purpose was to quickly improve proficiency, so I will talk about what happened in the future~"

"You..." Billyto was choked and pointed at the human assassin for a moment and didn't know what to say, "Hmph, young man~ Wait until you regret it in the future!"

"Okay, let's discuss the price of this thing now~"

Fang Yi weighed the gem in his hand and said with a smile, "You value the light of the deep source so much. I think you are about to create an important work? You see, this thing can not only increase the success rate, but also improve the better the quality of the item, the greater the improvement. The level like yours, the creation is definitely not an ordinary product..."

Billy Too stared at Fang Yi angrily. When Fang Yi heard that he had just said something, he looked like he was taking it for granted. He couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong when he told the assassin just now...

"... Do you have any semi-artifact daggers, esoteric silver chain armor, etc., so I can use it to open my eyes~ It really doesn't work, materials like dragon teeth, dragon eyes, etc. are also fine~"

"Moladin is here, you greedy assassin! If I had those top-quality materials, why would I want this deep light?" The dwarf blacksmith had already stood up at this time, waving the blacksmith hammer in his hand, and the big bearded man also got up automatically, "You have made the oath of the Lord God!"

Tell, Cialis is a ball~ He doesn't care about me at all~

Even so, Fang Yi still didn't want to force the other party into a hurry.

The value of this deep light is not low, but Fang Yi is sure that players will definitely not be able to use this thing within a year and a half. Such long-term investment transactions are not the best choice for both the seller and the buyer.

And the dwarf in front of him is undoubtedly the best target to take action.

"Okay, okay, let's just make a joke~" Fang Yi smiled and walked straight to the dwarf, "Well, show me your collection, I'll pick two of them~"

Billyto said "hum!" again, without looking at Fang Yi, he turned around and returned to the house. After a while, he walked out with a bunch of things in his arms, and threw a bunch of messy things on the table.

Fang Yi's eyes swept to the table, and his eyes couldn't help but keep: I'll go, I won't show my appearance! This is the real rich man, okay?

The table was scattered with a wide range of gems, and there were a few dazzling equipment mixed with them. You could tell the quality by looking at the lingering purple light. Fang Yi picked up a gem, turned his head to look at the dwarf with a look of indifferent expression, thinking that this is the role model of our blacksmith clan - a real rich man. a blacksmith?

Not long after, Fang Yi found two items from a pile of things: a rare gem worth nearly 10,000 gold coins, and a rare and strange thing.

"Great whetstone (rare and strange things)

Durability: 150

Use: Continuously polish the weapon for 5 minutes, which can allow the sharp weapon to obtain +2 damage temporary enchantment, lasting for 2 hours, and consume 1 point of durability.

Grinding for 10 minutes can allow sharp weapons to gain +3 damage and +4 temporary enchantment of armor penetration, lasting for 2 hours and consume 3 durability points.

After polishing for 30 minutes, the sharp weapon can obtain +4 damage, +7 armor penetration, and a temporary enchantment of heavy blow x2.5 (a fatal blow causes 250% damage, rather than an ordinary 200%). The player's own critical damage is higher than 2.5, which lasts for 3 hours and consumes 10 points of durability."

Fang Yi has basically never used ordinary whetstones. First, the additional damage is not very strong, and second, if the quality of whetstones is too low, there will be a certain chance of causing durability to the weapon. Now Fang Yi's two weapons are treasures, so he can't help grinding them with stones at will.

In this regard, the Sword Saint is much better than other professions, because the Sword Saint can use the unique power of the profession to soak his unique weapons. The wear of whetstone of this level is simply a drizzle for the Sword Saint's weapons.

Now there are purple-quality whetstones, so Fang Yi naturally cannot let go - if the Elf Dagger has a third layer of effect attached, it will be really good to hit it when attacking.

"I'll keep my word, give you the things~" Fang Yi put away two things, raised his hand and threw the light of the deep source to the dwarf opposite him, and said with a smile, "If you are attacking the title of Grandmaster, then will my doing so be considered a great achievement?"

Billyto took the translucent gem, and the joy on his face could not be concealed at all. However, after hearing Fang Yi's words, the dwarf blacksmith who had a simple face was suffocated, and his face was a little embarrassed, as if a secret had been exposed.

Fang Yi smiled, didn't care, and turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

The dwarf blacksmith looked at the assassin's back and hesitated for a moment before shouting loudly, "If you have time during the day, you can come to me for more time." After that, without waiting for Fang Yi to react, he closed the wooden door tightly with a "bang".

Looking back at the pile of things on the table, Billy Toh stepped to the table, picked up a purple round gem and held it in his hand, muttering to himself.

"If you don't pick up such a precious gem, you'll pick an ordinary one. The apprentice taught by Kratos should not be so bad~ I know how to advance and retreat, hum! I'll give you a chance~"

***

Fang Yi looked at the closed door of the blacksmith shop and subconsciously curled his lips.

There were a few priceless gems in the pile of things just now. The purple "Eye of Heaven" was very rare. It can enchant the armor and increase the resistance of a certain amount of full magic. The market value must be 150,000 or 10,000 gold coins.

But Fang Yi is not so jealous of money. Who would give you hundreds of thousands of gold coins for no reason? There must be a fraud here~ So Fang Yi picked two items, which is considered normal.

Does Billyto's voice just now mean that he triggered some plot?
