Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

After waiting a few minutes, the blacksmith finished the engraving and handed over three pieces of gold equipment engraved with level 2 [Critical Strike Stones] and a level 1 [Gem Finder] to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan quickly put it on and then checked the attributes of the divine stone:

Monster drop rate +3 (4→3)

Critical Hit Chance +12 (8→12)

Jiang Yan sighed. The ten level 1 [Critical Strike Stones] only increased his critical strike chance by 4%. Combined with his own class attributes and SSS talent attributes, Jiang Yan's critical strike chance was now as high as 92%!

However, if it's not 100%, it will still be insufficient when facing high-level monsters!

"I still need to keep collecting [Critical Strike Stones]!" Jiang Yan gritted his teeth.

He had previously asked Bafanglaicai to buy [Critical Strike Stones], but after many days, he only received one Level 1 [Critical Strike Stone]. However, [Hero's Tower] gave him 10 Level 1 [Critical Strike Stones] directly, which shows that the major guilds definitely have [Critical Strike Stones] in their hands!

However, buying [Critical Strike Stones] from major guilds probably requires more than just gold coins.

Exchange it for gold equipment?

Jiang Yan still has a [Black Magic Bracers] (Gold) that he replaced in his backpack. He should be able to exchange it for some [Critical Strike Stones], right?

Let the professionals handle the professional matters. Jiang Yan immediately sent the attributes of the [Black Magic Bracers] to Bafang Laicai and asked him to exchange for [Critical Strike Stones] with the major guilds!

"Is there anything else? If not, get out of here and don't delay my business." The blacksmith shop owner started to shoo people away.

Jiang Yan hurriedly said, "Boss, don't rush, take a look at this first."

Jiang Yan took out the Fiery Copper Mother.

The blacksmith's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the bronze mother piece: "This is... a bronze mother piece?!"

He excitedly accepted the Fiery Bronze Mother, examining it closely, touching and tapping it, his expression radiant as he exclaimed, "This is the Fiery Bronze Mother! It can be integrated into fire-type spiritual artifacts, enhancing their grade. It's priceless!"

Jiang Yan hurriedly asked, "Boss, if a spiritual artifact's grade is raised to its maximum, will it evolve into a divine artifact?"

The blacksmith said, "Evolve into a divine artifact? It's not as simple as you think! Take your staff, for example. Its core is made of +15 quality dark wood. No matter how much you improve its quality, it can't evolve into a divine artifact!"

"What about my +18 lightning-struck wood?" Jiang Yan asked.

The blacksmith shop owner still shook his head.

Jiang Yan squinted: "What about +22 quality?"

The blacksmith raised an eyebrow: "What did you say? +22 quality? You, you wouldn't..."

Jiang Yan smiled and took out a +22 quality [Thunder Cherry Wood]!

This piece of thunder cherry wood was one of the rewards he received for helping Nian Qin (the ten-thousand-year-old cherry tree) break the seal, and it can be considered one of Jiang Yan's most treasured possessions.

"It really is divine wood!!" The blacksmith's eyes widened like saucers when he saw the Thunder Cherry Wood. "Young friend, where did you find this divine wood?!"

"An unexpected find." Jiang Yan asked, "Boss, can this piece of thunder cherry wood be used to forge a divine artifact directly?"

The blacksmith frowned in thought: "There's a certain chance, but the required spirit ore is immeasurable. My suggestion is to forge it into a spirit weapon first, and then slowly upgrade it to a divine weapon!"

"I see..." Jiang Yan thought to himself that it was a pity, but when he thought that Lei Yingmu would have the opportunity to evolve into a divine artifact in the future, he suddenly felt no regret!

Putting away the +22 quality Thunder Cherry Wood, Jiang Yan then took out a blade, about the size of a palm, entirely scarlet, and emanating a strong smell of blood.

It is a fragment of an ancient demonic weapon, the Tiger Soul (1/7 missing)!

Upon seeing the broken blade, the blacksmith's brow furrowed immediately: "This is... a demonic weapon? How did you get this?"

"It was an unexpected acquisition." Jiang Yan asked, "Boss, what's the origin of this demonic weapon?"

The blacksmith stared intently at the [Tiger Soul] for a long while before speaking: "Many years ago, the three planes of the Abyss, the Undead, and Hell invaded our human world, forging weapons with the blood and souls of our race—the demonic weapon in your hand! Its power is comparable to a divine artifact!!"

Demonic weapons and divine artifacts truly exist side by side!

The background is a bit cliché… Jiang Yan's mind raced, and he asked, “Boss, if we integrate it into a spiritual artifact, then…”

The blacksmith frowned immediately: "This demonic weapon contains the blood and soul of our human ancestors. Are you sure you want to integrate it into a magical artifact?"

As a player, Jiang Yan naturally didn't care about such things, but the blacksmith shop owner was a local NPC. Considering his position, Jiang Yan decisively put on a righteous expression and solemnly said, "Boss, to be honest, the Abyss, the Undead, and Hell are stirring again. To deal with them, we must do everything possible to increase our strength! If the sages are watching, they will surely agree to let me integrate this demonic weapon into a spiritual artifact, so that we can fight to the death to protect humanity!!"

Jiang Yan spoke with great passion, and the blacksmith shop owner trembled with fear: "Excellent! It's a blessing for our human race to have a mage like you! Young friend, hurry and find the [Lightning Liquid], I can't wait to forge a magical weapon for you!!"

This old man is easy to fool… Jiang Yan nodded solemnly: “Boss, I’ve found a clue to the [Thunder Liquid], but my strength is too weak. Do you have any spare spiritual artifacts? Could you give me a set…”

"Get out!!" the blacksmith roared. "You think I'm some kind of magical weapon? Get out of here or I'll blacklist you!!"

"Boss, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I'll leave right now." Jiang Yan sighed. These NPCs were indeed not so easy to fool.

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Jiang Yan received a private message from the alchemy genius, saying that Bafanglaicai had sent someone to deliver the seven kinds of herbs.

Jiang Yan rushed back to the Black Heart Pharmacy.

Upon entering the alchemy room, one finds a talented alchemist refining the Hundred Flowers Pill.

Jiang Yan stood aside, waiting silently, while putting the +22 Thunder Cherry Wood, [Tiger Soul] (1/7 missing), Blazing Copper Mother, and the level 1 [Gem Finder] into the pharmacy's private warehouse. Then, he silently took out pills worth 30,000 gold from the storage warehouse.

These pills were specially prepared by the alchemist and left for Jiang Yan's use.

A few minutes later, accompanied by a loud bang, a foul stench suddenly wafted out of the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy attempt failed.

"Boss, I'm sorry." The alchemy prodigy was somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright, continue," Jiang Yan said with a smile.

The alchemy expert nodded, then cleaned the alchemy furnace, and then took out a purple cherry blossom and thirty-six kinds of herbs and put them into the furnace.

A few minutes later, the alchemy failed again.

The alchemist took a deep breath and continued refining.

An hour later, the alchemy prodigy finally stopped, stood up with a face full of shame, and said, "Boss, I've tried to refine it twenty-three times, and only succeeded three times."

The success rate is indeed quite low, only 13%!

Jiang Yan asked, "Which is harder to refine, the Attribute Pill or the Hundred Flower Pill?"

"Attribute pills are harder to refine because they are high-grade pills." The alchemy prodigy became increasingly uncertain: "The success rate of high-grade pills is probably even lower."

"Not necessarily." Jiang Yan opened the pharmacy's private storage room and took out a [Reinforced Scroll].

He was determined to get the Attribute Pill, and also the Hundred Flowers Pill, which restored health and mana proportionally and would definitely become a mainstream pill in the future; he was determined to get that too!

"Talented scholar, take this and use it to enhance your alchemy skills!" Jiang Yanfeng casually traded the [Enhancement Scroll] to the alchemy prodigy, though inwardly he was deeply pained.

"Boss, this scroll... must be very precious, right?" The alchemy prodigy was somewhat uncertain.

"Nothing is more precious than you. Use it quickly, or I'll regret it!" Jiang Yan said half-jokingly.

"I understand, boss!" The alchemy prodigy gritted his teeth, then tore open the [Enhancement Scroll], enhancing his alchemy skills!

炼丹才子打开技能栏，果然看到【炼丹术】lv3（0/0）变成了【炼丹术】（强化）lv3（0/10000），只要炼满10000经验值，就能提升到lv4，到时候炼丹成功率一定会大幅提升！

The alchemy prodigy was overjoyed, and his gaze toward Jiang Yan became even more respectful and grateful!

"Once my alchemy skill reaches level 4, I'll refine the Hundred Flower Pill and see the success rate," Jiang Yan said with a faint smile. "If it's still not ideal, then I'll continue to improve!"

"Boss, I understand. I swear I won't let you down!" The alchemy prodigy clenched his fists, his face solemn.

Jiang Yan waved and left, feeling a strange pang in his heart: there were only six [Enhanced Scrolls] left, and he needed to quickly find Lucky Cat to stock up.
