There were only two days left before the disciple selection now, leaving ample time for Lin Xun to forge a weapon for the Nine-tailed Fox.

Lin Xun’s pocket balance had soared at this point. With the one million disciple selection funds contributed by Amos, the 2.34 million from forging fees, and his previous savings of 580,000, even after deducting the 500,000 spent on buying Reforging Stones, he still had more than 3.4 million spirit power left.

This amount of spirit power should be enough for him to craft a unique weapon for the Nine-tailed Fox!

[You have touched the ’Book of Trade’, resonating strongly with the powerful soul of the book.]

[Would you like to use the forging function of the ’Book of Trade’?]

[The weapon blueprint is being created according to your materials...]

["Asura’s Beads"+ "Rainbow Smoke Silk" (yet to be obtained)+ "Obsidian Crystal Orb" (yet to be obtained)+ "Heart of the Lust Witch" (yet to be obtained)+ "Shenxiao Thunder Essence" (yet to be obtained) + "Legendary Thunder Elemental Core" (yet to be obtained) + "Tail of the Charming Demon Queen" (yet to be obtained) + "Pure Magic Sphere" (yet to be obtained)]

["Based on the above materials, you only need to spend 695,000 points of spirit power to forge a weapon for the ’Nine-tailed Fox of Origin’, and the quality of the forged weapon will be at ’Legendary Grade’.]

All the icons indicating ’Yet to be obtained’ made Lin Xun’s scalp tingle.

Only one material dropped by the ’Extreme Evil Asura’ was suitable for crafting the Nine-tailed Fox’s unique weapon, he’d have to buy the rest of the materials himself.

However, it was precisely this one material that made Lin Xun determined to forge the special weapon, regardless of the cost of the spirit power.

When the ’Extreme Evil Asura’ died, it didn’t just drop materials, it also dropped a ’special spirit power’ that matched these materials.

[Asura’s Special Spirit Power (Special Spirit Power Tool): Use this tool to obtain 300,000 points of spirit power. It can also be added during the process of crafting Shell equipment, it may trigger an awakening effect and generate additional attributes.]

Lin Xun went straight to the ’Book of Trade’ to check the spirit power cost of purchasing the materials.

The total value of the seven kinds of materials added up to more than 3.8 million spirit power!

He was still short of 400,000 spirit power to forge the weapon.

"What a heavy blow!"

Forging a legendary-grade weapon would take more than a day. Before the disciple selection began, he only had one more chance to forge.

There was definitely not enough time to make money by taking on more forging orders at this point.

"I can only sell equipment now..."

There were still two idle weapons in his pocket. One was the ’Tachi: Demon Cleaver of Unohana’, and the other was the ’Halo of Exorcising Evil and Removing Disaster’ that was dropped by the High Priest of the Heavenly Temple.

Both weapons were of Epic + level. Their special effects weren’t of much use to him, so they would be better off sold.

He listed both weapons on the ’Book of Trade’. The suggested price given by the Underworld Game was a bit low, totaling just over 1.2 million.

The ’Halo of Exorcising Evil and Removing Disaster’ had a slightly broader range of use than the ’Demon Cleaver of Unohana’, and so had a higher selling price.

In order to quickly recover funds, Lin Xun put bonebreaking prices on both weapons.

Over an hour later, the ’Halo of Exorcising Evil and Removing Disaster’ was sold successfully. After deducting the service fee of the Underworld Game, he made nearly 620,000.

Seeing that he had enough funds, he raised the price of the ’Demon Cleaver of Unohana’ back to normal, and immediately bought the materials he needed for the weapon.

[...]

[Your Shell skill ’Legendary Forging Technique’ is of high enough grade to forge legendary weapons according to the current blueprint!]

["The current forging process will take a lengthy amount of time, expected to finish in 30 hours, 56 minutes, and 41 seconds...]

[Do you want to start forging this weapon?]

Lin Xun opened his item column and clicked on the ’special spirit power’ that matched the materials.

["Adding Asura’s Special Spirit Power to the weapon forging, the success rate of awakening is 89%.]

[Would you like to add the special spirit power to the forging process?]

An 89% success rate was as good as guaranteed for the God of Luck; it could be rounded off to 100%.

The only thing that had Lin Xun worried wasn’t the slim chance of failing to awaken, but the weapon failing to generate a special skill. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

[Weapon forging is in progress, please wait patiently...]

[...]

Waiting for a day and a night was extremely hard.

Lin Xun could only pass the time by cooking with the Valkyrie at home and playing the ’where is the tail hidden’ game with the Nine-tailed Fox.

After he help the Nine-tailed Fox take her revenge, the little fox seemed to have let go of her past and wasn’t meditating all day anymore, unlike before.

Instead, she would often tease the Snow Woman using her identity as a powerful demon. Sometimes, when she got bold, she would even dare to flirt with Lin Xun, her master.

With a few summoned creatures to accompany him, time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, it was time for the weapon to be forged.

[...]

[Weapon forging success!]

[Thanks to the special effect of your forging tool ’Hammer of the Imperial Swordsmith’, the weapon has gained a special skill!]

[As you added ’Asura’s Special Spirit Power’ during the forging, the weapon has successfully awakened!]

[You have gained the ’Purple Lightning Orb’ (Legendary Grade Weapon)!]

Lin Xun was thrilled.

Not only was the weapon successfully awakened, it even gained a special skill.

If the special skill hadn’t appeared, he might have had to spend another 500,000 to buy re-smelting stones.

["Purple Lightning Soul Capturing Orb" (Legendary Grade Weapon): A ball-shaped magical artifact forged from numerous precious materials. Inside the transparent, pure orb, flashes of purple lightning thunder, like countless souls screaming and howling.]

[Using this weapon will greatly increase the power of your thunder spells and slightly increase the duration of your control skills.]
