Experience point-2798
West Wind Swordsmanship: Royal Family Lv.1 (2/100)

West Wind Swordsmanship: Royal Family Lv.8 (0/800)

The swordsmanship learned from Eula suddenly became a skill second only to the "West Wind Hunter Archery" in rank.

Li Qiuzhi's swordsmanship seemed to have been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations. Various related techniques and knowledge and experience emerged in his mind, becoming a part of his memory and even a physical instinct.

While Li Qiuzhi was subtly comprehending and digesting the swordsmanship, the short journey from the alchemy table to Wagner's blacksmith shop had already been completed.

Wagner was not forging weapons or anything else in the blacksmith shop. He was sitting with his back leaning against a chair, his eyes slightly looking towards the roof, as if he was tired and taking a rest.

Schutz, the blacksmith's apprentice, was still tending the furnace.

"Hey, Mr. Wagner, you can't stand it after not seeing you for a few days?" Li Qiuzhi greeted him jokingly.

Wagner glanced sideways at the visitor, then turned back and said:
"So it's you, kid. Even if I can forge iron, I can't replace my body with iron. People always need rest."

"Haha, is this the experience Mr. Wagner has summarized from his work? It does make sense."

Li Qiuzhi complimented with a smile.

"Well, how is it? Is the quenching rocket useful?" Wagner sat up straight from his half-reclining posture and asked Li Qiuzhi again.

"I can only say that Mr. Wagner is worthy of being a famous blacksmith in Mondstadt. The fire arrows he made have helped me a lot in my adventures. Now I'm here to buy more."

Li Qiuzhi spread his hands, his face showing helplessness that without the rocket quenching, the adventure would not go smoothly.

Although I now have good swordsmanship, I still need to stock up on arrows. After all, the ability to attack from a distance is essential.

All I can say is that when you can use a long sword, use bows and arrows less often. After all, every quenched arrow shot out is a round, golden Mora.

"Haha, kid, just based on what you said, I am willing to give you 100 Mora off each quenching rocket."

Mr. Wagner laughed twice, then said with regret:

"But unfortunately, the quenched rockets have been sold out. The commission for fire element ore posted at the Adventurer's Association's blacksmith shop has not been completed by any adventurer."

So your waist doesn't hurt when you talk loudly, right? Li Qiuzhi looked at him speechlessly.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do. Give me thirty armor-piercing arrows. Is this also 100 Mora cheaper?"

Li Qiuzhi sighed, then said with a smile.

"You have a nice idea, boy." Wagner glanced at Li Qiuzhi, then ordered Schutz who was beside the stove, "Go and get him thirty armor-piercing arrows."

An armor-piercing arrow costs 600 Moras. If it is sold 100 Moras cheaper, his profit will be completely gone and he won't even be able to recover the labor costs.

"Okay, Mr. Wagner." Schutz nodded to show that he understood.

"Ah."

While waiting, Wagner thought for a moment and said to Li Qiuzhi:

"By the way, young adventurer, I just forged a batch of 'fine forging ore' for strengthening weapons. Would you like to buy a few pieces to try?"

"Strengthen weapons?" Li Qiuzhi pondered for a moment.

Strengthening the weapons in your hands can improve a person's strength immediately, but it is a bit expensive. After all, Mora is needed to buy "ore for fine forging", and Mora is also needed as a medium when strengthening weapons.

"How to sell it?"

Li Qiuzhi asked.

"Four hundred for miscellaneous ore, two thousand for good ore, and ten thousand for magic ore. This is the market price. I won't charge you a penny more." Wagner said, patting his chest with his strong right arm.

Then he continued:
"Three pieces of 'Magic Ore for Fine Forging' plus more than two thousand Moras can strengthen your Edgeless Sword to its current limit." Wagner pointed to the one-handed sword tied at Li Qiuzhi's waist.

"As long as you find a few suitable breakthrough materials during the adventure, you can achieve the first breakthrough. By then, it will be much stronger than its current 'blank slate' state!"

"Okay, let's try it."

Li Qiuzhi pulled out the edgeless sword from the wooden scabbard at his waist and handed it to Wagner, asking him to help strengthen it.

After all, Li Qiuzhi has never strengthened his weapons, so he doesn't know how it is different from the game.

"Haha, you haven't strengthened your weapon yet, right? It's very simple. I'll give you some 'Magic Ore for Forging', and you can try it yourself."

Wagner laughed twice, turned around and took out three pieces of the "magic ore for fine forging" that he had just forged and handed them to Li Qiuzhi.

The mineral looks like smooth pink crystal. It feels cool in the hand and there is nothing special about it.

"Put them on the sword and then throw them into Mora." Wagner introduced.

Li Qiuzhi followed instructions and placed the edgeless sword flat on Wagner's forging table. The three pink crystals were arranged one by one on the flat sword body, but there was no reaction.

He took out two Mora coins with a face value of one thousand and let them fall between the "Magic Ore for Fine Forging" and the Edgeless Sword.

A magical thing happened. Mora emitted golden light that enveloped them, and then they slowly merged together.

"Not even a little bit left, Mora isn't enough, put in five smaller ones," Wagner reminded.

"it is good!"

Li Qiuzhi put in five Mora coins with a face value of one hundred, and the golden light became a little brighter. Not long after, a brand new edgeless sword that was strengthened to the level before the first breakthrough came out.

Li Qiuzhi took it in his hand and found that the scratches caused by chopping the rocks in the secret realm had disappeared, as if it had been reforged.

The Edgeless Sword at this time is no longer the original Edgeless Sword, but Edgeless Sword +20.

The first breakthrough that Wagner mentioned is what it means to be strengthened to level 20 in the game.

"How is it? Not bad, right? Now it is much more powerful than the unreinforced two-star weapon."

Wagner said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, three pieces of magic ore and thirty thousand Mora can almost buy a two-star one-handed sword, right?" Li Qiuzhi suddenly thought and said.

"A two-star one-handed sword costs at least 50,000 Mora. Your current edgeless sword is much more powerful than a two-star one!"

Wagner said so, and then Schutz came back with the armor-piercing arrow.

"That makes sense. Although high-star weapons are powerful, they also cost a lot to strengthen. The Edgeless Sword is enough for me for now."

Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly, then put away the thirty armor-piercing arrows, paid the full fee and left the blacksmith shop.

Including the Mora consumed as a medium to strengthen the weapon, he spent a total of a little over 50,000 this time. Since he didn't buy the quenching rocket, it wasn't a big loss.

When Li Qiuzhi walked back to Luoluomei Street, he found that the sky had darkened and he could vaguely see the stars in the sky.

Thinking of going back quickly to put down and organize the many things on his body, he turned into a dimly lit alley with a well-maintained green belt on one side.

Suddenly, he saw a pair of ice-blue, furry, erect ears popping out from the green bushes.
