Hang Yu’s strength has reached a new height.

In terms of inheritance, there are: Frenzy Lord, Rapid Shadow Warrior, Iron-blooded Instructor, all three Third Tier inheritances have been activated!

He holds blue equipment including: Ancient Holy War four-piece set (with skill Holy War Blessing), Water-Protecting Ring (with skill Water Curtain Barrier), Shadow Cloak (with skill Shadow Dance), Spirit Defense Necklace (with effect Spirit Defense), Dragon Bone Arm Armor (with shock absorption effect).

In terms of weapons, there are: Evil Bone Sword, Demon Scorpion Axe, Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear.

From head to toe, most parts have already been replaced with blue equipment.

Many skills, good equipment, basic attributes are also very strong.

With Hang Yu’s current strength, he has already leaped out of the Minor Lord level, with enough confidence and qualification to challenge a Great Lord.

Hang Yu asked, "Can we forge another set of Ancient Set with the remaining materials?"

Golden Hammer shook his head and said, "The materials have basically been used up in crafting this set of equipment, and it’s impossible to make a second set before new materials arrive."

Hang Yu sighed.

If only it could be completed before the great battle.

To have Xu Tianhua and Zhao Ming also wear this top-grade equipment set.

They would have enough strength to assist him in opposing Kaliemlo.

Now it seems to be too late. Crafting the set on Hang Yu alone has cost several hundred Blue Crystals for materials, in addition to the large expense of buying skill stones and various secret medicines.

The expenditure has been too high in recent days.

Financially things have become a bit tight.

Of course, money is not the problem. Even if Current Crystal is tight, Hang Yu has many highly valuable items that can be liquidated; by selling some, he can quickly cash in.

The issue is.

The materials are not easy to collect.

The Ancient Set requires a large amount of Blue Ancient Magic Crystals.

Golden Hammer used up the Ancient Magic Crystals from hunting Prison Beasts in the Ancient Prison to forge the equipment on him; even if all forces like Celestial Net and Spirit Relief Association help, it’s impossible to acquire so many Ancient Magic Crystals in a short time.

Even with sufficient reserves.

Transporting materials from various places to Jiang City.

This process would also consume a lot of time.

"Hmm, since that’s the case, let’s put this matter on hold for now."

Hang Yu took out a blueprint, different from the previous ones; this blueprint is of light blue quality.

Blue Middle Grade Quality blueprint?!

Golden Hammer’s eyes widened.

He of course knows what this means!

If even the blueprint is light blue, the end product forged would be a bright blue equipment, and how rare and precious bright blue equipment is?!

The value of this blueprint is immeasurable!

"This is the forging blueprint for the ’Blade of Burning Demons’." Hang Yu handed the blueprint to Golden Hammer, "Blade of Burning Demons is a powerful level 14 bright blue single-handed weapon, one of its main materials is the Great Demon Horn."

While speaking.

Took out two jet-black long horns.

Golden Hammer’s breath instantly became rapid.

Both materials are level 14 bright blue quality materials.

For an Artifact Refiner, such materials have immense allure.

Blueprint or not.

The Great Demon Horn as well.

All come from the hidden big boss "Ancient Prison Warden" on the third floor of the Ancient Prison!

This guy’s rank is second only to the Ancient Abyss Overlord.

The items it drops are naturally extraordinary top-grade ones.

This blueprint and the two materials, even for a Great Lord, are extremely valuable treasures to collect; if not for Hang Yu’s understanding of the map, he wouldn’t have been able to obtain these items.

"With your proficiency in Artifact Refining Technique, mastering this blueprint, forging the Blade of Burning Demons, should not be a problem, right?"

"No problem!" Golden Hammer was completely convinced by Hang Yu, "Seven or eight years ago my Artifact Refining Technique had already reached the Advanced level, and I haven’t stopped improving and investing in refining all these years; once this equipment is forged, I should step into the quasi-expert level!"

Advanced Refiner and Expert Refiner are different concepts.

The so-called quasi-expert level refers to when proficiency and Spiritual Qi Value have reached the top, only lacking a skill stone breakthrough; of course, many Production Skills Magic Users in the Spirit Realm remain stuck at this bottleneck for a lifetime.

"If you perform well, as long as every task I delegate can be done to my satisfaction, I will definitely get you an Expert Artifact Refining Technique skill stone!"

Who can’t issue blank checks?

Golden Hammer, however, took it with full faith.

He has fully witnessed the human race’s capability to obtain resources.

Moreover, he learned that after Hang Yu went out these past few days, he brought back an Expert Medicine Refining Skill Stone for his other favored Hang Xiaobai.

A Blue Quality production-type skill stone.

Its value is several times more precious and rare than an inheritance skill stone!

If any ill feelings Golden Hammer previously had against Hang Yu for taking over Stone Furnace Town still remained, they have now completely dissipated.

Staying as a guard in Stone Furnace Town for a lifetime would not have any prospects?

At most, just an ordinary Dwarf Lord!

Not only having to bow and scrape to the Great Lord but also guarded against intrusive neighbors; who knows when he might be schemed against or fall in a fire fight.

Want to climb up?

Hard as reaching heaven!

Now losing freedom.

Having no choice but to stick with Hang Yu.

Yet seeing a broader future!

Just by mastering the "Ancient Holy War Set" forging blueprint, and about to master the "Blade of Burning Demons" forging blueprint, it is enough to make him a highly valued guest by various Great Lords.

Hang Yu returned home.

Bai was not watching cartoons.

She was refining potions in the studio.

"Bai, how is it going? Is everything smooth?"

Hang Xiaobai turned back, full of joy, nodding vigorously: "Smooth, smooth, Bai has already advanced to being an Expert Alchemist, now learned the formula and refining of Abyss Secret Medicine, will definitely refine the potion for brother!"

"The Abyss Secret Medicine is a Purple Quality potion with great difficulty in all aspects, refining is not something that can be completed overnight, don’t rush, take it slow."

"Yes, your Medicine Refining Skill quickly improved through the Abyss Medicine-Refining Master’s Notes, so compared to other Medicine Refining Experts, you lack experience, and your foundation is not solid enough; you need to practice more!"

Hang Xiaobai was resolute: "Bai won’t let brother down!"

She decided to watch two fewer episodes of cartoons every day from now on.

Work hard on studying Medicine Refining Skill!

Illusion Demon is proficient in production.

Hang Xiaobai possesses comprehensive Production Skills!

Even in its weakest fields, it’s at an Intermediate level.

With Medicine Refining Skill being the strongest and Alchemy second, both have reached Advanced levels.

Now, through Master Level Medicine Refining Notes and Expert Level Medicine Refining Skill Stone, she has become an Alchemist respected by Lords, even within any Spirit Realm!

Hang Xiaobai and Tigule are both Expert-level Producers.

However, compared to Tigule, Bai clearly has a significant gap.

Hang Yu has Memory of the Great Sage; any production not exceeding Expert level, his proficiency is automatically maxed, but he can never solely shoulder the production burden.

Why?

Ultimately, it’s about energy!

Production capability is not automatically strong with high levels.

Every production branch is a profound discipline that requires exploring, researching, accumulating, needing experience and foundation.

Tigule has long possessed Expert level Magic-guided Study proficiency, and mastered over ten kinds of Expert-level blueprints, with over ten self-developed inventions; extensive experience making him a seasoned expert.

Bai has some ways to go in reaching such a level in the Medicine Refining field, but she also has a solid foundation; compared to human Producers, Bai has studied Medicine Refining in the Spirit Realm for more than ten years.

Hang Yu currently uses some high-quality potions.

All produced by Bai.

Unavailable in the pharmacy.

Moving forward.

Hang Yu devotes half his time to the Spirit Realm, and half to the real world.

Over several days, killing monsters, accumulating Spiritual Qi, observing the situation, while in the real world, attending an auction or two, personally visiting transactions markets, mainly to collect production materials.

Everything is quite peaceful.

However, this serenity is not going to last!

Conflicts between the four towns of the human race and Sand Spring City have escalated to an irreconcilable, sharp point where only one can survive.

Worldwide, countless eyes are watching the situation in Desert Province, with a group of so-called experts giving advice or comments online every day.

Everyone knows.

Hang Yu and Kaliemlo must have a confrontation!

Finally, the calm before the storm was broken this day!

Zhao Ming reported bad news, "Received an urgent intelligence! Kaliemlo dispatched envoys to various Minor Lords, enforcing and supervising these Minor Lords to send troops, and the Sand Spring City troops are also assembling; it seems they are preparing to take action against us!"

Hang Yu was not surprised: "Has it finally come? It should’ve come!"

Zhao Ming said: "We are already finding it very hard to deal with just one Sand Spring City; if many Minor Lords send troops together with Sand Spring City, frankly, with our current power, it’s almost impossible to hold off... and the Minor Lords can hardly withstand Sand Spring City’s pressure, the trend as it stands, our situation is very dangerous!"
