Evil spirits invade, everyone needs to survive, I have a game cheat.

"An inconceivable talent?"

Xiao Cunzhi was somewhat shocked when he heard his daughter's evaluation of Cao Fengqi.

"His forging skills are much better than Wang Tieshan's; he has probably reached the ninth level of the Spirit Forging Master."

Xiao Youya nodded slightly.

"Holy crap!! Sis, is this for real?"

Xiao Youxiu's eyes widened: "This...this is too outrageous!"

He clearly remembered that when his older sister achieved the ninth level of Weaver's skill, it was three years after she became a Weaver.

"Doesn't that mean the equipment and weapons he creates are even better than those of Wang Tieshan?"

Xiao Cunzhi's gaze sharpened, and he spoke.

"Yes."

Xiao Youya nodded with a flicker in her eyes, but didn't say anything more.

"Dad, drink this bottle of calming water."

She glanced at the time and handed the calming water Cao Fengqi had given her to her father: "I'm about to enter the Lost Land. Don't wait for me for dinner."

Xiao Cunzhi nodded slightly, reached out and took it, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Was that kid a blacksmith in his past life? He's incredibly skilled."

Watching his sister leave, Xiao Youxiu muttered to himself, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"Show some respect and courtesy to Cao Fengqi; he's an extraordinary individual."

"If our Xiao family needs to forge weapons and equipment in the future, we may need someone's help."

Xiao Cunzhi looked at his son's head, frowned, and gave him some instructions.

Xiao Youxiu opened his mouth slightly, then slowly closed it again.

Dad was right.

He thought of the resources Cao Fengqi had brought out, the precious spatial treasures, and the talent that his sister had described as unbelievable.

He had to admit that he was indeed far inferior to them.

--------

Meanwhile, Xiao Youya returned to her room and immediately entered the Lost Land.

The collapsed city walls and dilapidated rocks prove that this was also a deserted town.

Xiao Youya's figure slowly appeared, with a woman holding a cyan bow waiting in front of her.

"Qinglan".

Upon seeing her, Xiao Youya took out the Abyss Pattern Evil-Binding Nail Box and asked, "Do you think these hidden weapons can be traded for souls?"

"Um?"

A tall woman with a beauty mark under her eye and a face no less beautiful than Xiao Youya's took the weapon and examined it curiously: "Not bad, the power must be considerable. Sister Youya, where did you get this?"

"Our Liangmin County produced a very young and exceptionally talented spirit blacksmith; it was he who forged it."

Xiao spoke gracefully.

"A young spirit blacksmith?"

Feng Qinglan nodded nonchalantly and said directly, "These kinds of hidden weapons can easily sell for between 12 and 15 souls. But for your sake, Sister Youya, I'll take them all for 14 souls each."

"Qinglan, can he produce a lot more? Can he trade them in large quantities?"

Xiao Youya looked at her and continued to ask.

Feng Qinglan paused for a moment, then shook her head: "Sister Youya, is he willing to join our Starfire? If so, can I buy his forging blueprints with 100 level 4 souls?"

"100 souls for a forging blueprint?"

Xiao Youya was taken aback, her brows furrowing slightly: "This price..."

"So, Elegant Sister thinks it's too low?"

Feng Qinglan smiled and said, "Actually, with the strength of our Starfire Master Craftsmen, we don't need to buy forging blueprints to analyze and recreate this hidden weapon. The extraordinary sequence of weapon refiners is not as good as your barrier set, Sister Elegance. Their technical barriers are easy to break through."

"..."

Xiao Youya understood instantly upon hearing her words.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for her sake, Feng Qinglan could have simply bought one Abyss Pattern Binding Evil Nail Box and given it to those skilled master craftsmen to analyze the forging blueprints.

In this way, skilled blacksmiths within Starfire can produce them at cost price.

This behavior is unethical, but that's the rule.

What does morality matter? Strength is everything.

"My friend is a genius."

Xiao Youya pondered for a moment before speaking, "His talent in the weapon refiner category is exceptionally strong..."

"Sister Elegance, heroes are as numerous as fish crossing a river. Once you arrive at Tianbei Base City, you'll know just how glorious it is."

Xiao Youya wanted to suggest elevating Cao Fengqi's status, but Feng Qinglan interrupted her with a smile, not caring much.

Is he a shining piece of gold in a small county town?

Unfortunately, the Tianbei base city was magnificent and resplendent.

A genius from a small county town? Nothing special!

Only those with a mysterious, extraordinary sequence can secure a place in this world, like the Spirit Forger?

Too much.

She smiled and took Xiao Youya's arm, continuing, "Sister Youya, my brother is a highly skilled weapon refiner in our Starfire. His skill level has reached the 8th level of the Secret Craftsman. He's the same age as you this year. When you arrive at Tianbei Base City, I'll introduce you to him. My brother is very handsome and single, hmph."

Xiao smiled faintly and said no more.

Regarding Cao Fengqi's talent, perhaps I shouldn't say too much; the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.

She wasn't entirely sure what Tianbei Base City was like.

She had only known Feng Qinglan for a short time.

---------

At this moment, Cao Fengqi was unaware that his plan to sell weapons had failed.

He did not enter the Lost Land because his injuries had not yet healed.

Having learned his lesson twice from Nightmare, Cao Feng got up and went to his forge to begin preparations.

"We'll need a bow to deal with the Nightshade next."

He secretly thought.

Nightmares can fly, so he is in a very passive position unless they attack him first.

With a bow and arrow, things are different.

"Selling the Abyss-Bound Evil Nail Box may not be enough to gather the souls I need to upgrade to Mystic Craftsman, so I still need to hunt some level 5 Nightmares."

His eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the forging blueprints on the forging table.

There are two level 5 forging blueprints on this, which will be of great help to his next move.

[Forging blueprint for the Beast Net: Level 5], [Forging blueprint for the Nine-Piercing Arrow: Level 5].

"A level 5 Beast Net combined with Hundred Soul Liquid is an absolute weapon against Nightmare."

"The Nine-Piercing Arrow is self-evident; it would be best to craft a regular level 5 bow and arrow yourself."

"However... the amount of soul required for this is quite substantial."

His gaze fell on the information on the two forging blueprints.

[Forging Blueprint from the Beastmen's Network: Level 5]

【所需材料：5级软金加以10个4级魂，亦或者以5级丝线类为主材料，其他任意5级金属进行辅助锻造。】

[Nine-Piercing Arrow Forging Blueprint: Level 5]

[Required materials: Level 5 Hard Gold and 3 Level 4 Souls.]

「箭矢至少打造5个，这就需要15个4级魂，再加上万兽网与5级弓，自己需要35个4级魂。」

Cao Fengqi calculated in his mind, then looked at the supplies in his hand. There was only one level 4 soul and one level 5 soul.

"Let's see if Sister Elegance has any good news tomorrow. I'll create it myself first, and then infuse it with spirit tomorrow!"

He still had enough level 5 metal.

He even possesses two level 6 Black Ice Feathers, which can further enhance the power of the Nine-Piercing Arrow.

"At that time, a level 5 Nightshade will be one-shotted with a single arrow."

With a smile on his face, Cao Fengqi took out his forging hammer and began to forge.
