168: Mythical equipment, with terrifying attribute bonuses
When an ordinary Artifact Refiner wants to forge a piece of equipment, they often need all sorts of Materials and a fully equipped workshop to do so.
And it takes a long time, and it's very easy to fail if one is not careful.
Song Ming, however, didn't need such trouble.
Because the Mythical Equipment Forging Book perfectly solved this problem for him.
As a one-time item.
It was incredibly simple to operate, practically fool-proof.
Song Ming only needed to continuously provide Mental Energy during the forging process, and the Mythical Equipment Forging Book would gradually improve the quality of the equipment.
Even if the forging ultimately failed and it couldn't be upgraded to Mythical Equipment.
The equipment would still receive a significant boost after being forged by the forging book.
All its attributes and special effects would increase to varying degrees.
One could say, there was no way to lose.
Nor would the equipment be damaged due to forging failure.
Therefore, the value of the Mythical Equipment Forging Book was far above an Intermediate Skill Point Book.
Song Ming estimated that if the Academy Exchange were to sell it, the price would certainly not be less than 100,000 credit.
This was an item that even mentors would be tempted by.
It wasn't impossible for it to sell for the exorbitant price of 100,000 credit.
Song Ming collected his thoughts, then focused his attention on the Mythical Equipment Forging Book.
Immediately after, he mobilized his Mental Energy and slowly extended it towards the forging book.
As Mental Energy was injected.
The surface of the Mythical Equipment Forging Book began to emit dazzling light.
Then, these golden rays of light began to converge continuously above the forging book.
Eventually forming a phantom image of an ancient furnace.
However, at this moment, the furnace was empty, with no signs of a fire burning.
Song Ming, however, remained unhurried, extending his right hand.
A flame shaped like a purple lotus appeared in his palm.
It was precisely the Purple Celestial Flame, sublimated from the Extinction Flame Finger.
With a gentle blow, the Purple Celestial Flame smoothly entered the ancient furnace, immediately igniting it.
The blazing fire instantly dyed the entire room purple.
While continuously controlling the input of Mental Energy, Song Ming grabbed the black dragon ring beside him and sent it into the furnace.
Under the煅燒 of the purple flame.
The surface of the black dragon ring began to melt slightly, and the entire ring body started to glow with a crystalline red light.
During this time.
Song Ming wasn't idle either.
Another Purple Celestial Flame rose in his hand, while his other hand picked up a crystal core and placed it into the flame in his palm.
After a short while.
The crystal core melted into a liquid state.
Song Ming then sent the liquid crystal core into the phantom image of the furnace.
The liquid crystal core immediately transformed into a thin stream, circling around the central black dragon ring.
And gradually permeated into it.
Although Song Ming, possessing the Mythical Forging Book, didn't need to truly learn Artifact Refining techniques.
It wasn't easy to upgrade the black dragon ring to Mythical Equipment.
During the forging process, Song Ming needed to continuously inject Mental Energy into the forging book.
To maintain the operation of the furnace's phantom image.
And during this period, he also needed to continuously melt zombie crystal cores and add them to the furnace.
To increase the probability of successful forging.
Five hours passed.
Fortunately, Song Ming's Mental Energy far surpassed others of his Rank, otherwise, he truly wouldn't have been able to persevere for such a long time.
Accompanied by a ethereal Dragon roar from the black dragon ring being forged in the furnace.
The red glow of the ring body rapidly faded, replaced by golden threads appearing all over the black Dragon's body.
And at the Dragon's head, two points of golden light suddenly appeared in the originally empty eye sockets.
Appearing extremely lifelike!
Dotting the eyes of the Dragon.
At this point, the Mythical Equipment was finally forged.
Song Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.
Then, he impatiently grabbed the black dragon ring and examined it carefully.
And after the black dragon ring was taken away.
The furnace's phantom image slowly dissipated.
The Mythical Equipment Forging Book also completed its mission, disintegrating into specks of starlight and completely disappearing.
With a probability of nearly ninety percent or more.
If it still couldn't succeed, Song Ming would definitely suspect if he had been cursed by someone.
Fortunately, the final result did not exceed his expectations.
The Mythical Equipment, the black gold dragon ring, was finally forged.
And when Song Ming checked the attributes of this equipment, he almost cried out in excitement.
【black gold dragon ring】
【Category: Ornament】
【Rank: 100】
【Quality: Mythical】
【Restricted Profession: Magic-user】
【Bonus: Mental +16000, Mana Recovery +2000 points/s, Elemental Resistance +60%, Spell Damage Amplification 30%】
【Elemental Immunity (Special Effect One): Consumes 100 Mana, grants temporary Elemental Immunity, lasts one minute, cooldown 8 hours!】
【Incarnation of Dragon (Special Effect Two): Consumes 100 Mana, allows self to Incarnate as a Dragon of the same Rank (Note: Attributes after Incarnation of Dragon are the superposition of same-Rank Dragon attributes and original attributes), lasts one minute, cooldown 8 hours.】
【(Dragon's Might) Passive Effect: Constantly emanates Dragon's might, capable of deterring petty individuals. When your enemy makes eye contact with you, their all-attributes will randomly decrease by 1% ~ 10%.】
One could only say, it truly lived up to being Mythical Rank equipment.
Just the Mental attribute bonus alone was quite a bit higher than his current Mental attribute.
And Elemental Resistance +80%.
In that case, if others were to cast elemental attacks on him, the damage would be directly reduced by sixty percent.
Only forty percent of the damage would affect him.
But Song Ming's Guardian Divine Light wasn't just for show; this amount of damage was not even worth mentioning.
And it would also reflect one hundred percent of magic damage.
That is to say, if someone were to cast an elemental attack dealing 10,000 damage.
Only 4,000 would truly affect Song Ming.
And he himself would also suffer 10,000 damage from the reflected attack.
It was simply too satisfying.
And that wasn't all; the remaining three special effects were also extremely powerful.
The Elemental Immunity that Song Ming valued most had its duration extended to one minute.
Dragon's Might and Incarnation of Dragon were also very good.
It was well worth the time and effort he spent to upgrade this golden equipment to Mythical Equipment.
Song Ming then disdainfully tossed the xuantian stone ring aside and equipped the black gold dragon ring.
He also took out a snow-white magic robe from his space, replacing the dragon-tiger magic robe.
A Rank 100 golden equipment, plus a Rank 100 Mythical Equipment.
Song Ming's Mental attribute also experienced a rocket-like surge.
【Mental: 8052+2390 (equipment provided) → 8052+20550 (equipment provided)】
It directly soared from just over 10,000 to 29,000!
Even a Rank 150 magic-user Professional couldn't possibly possess such terrifying Mental attributes.
Unless they also had a magic-user Mythical Equipment.
Otherwise, Song Ming was now capable of looking down on all Professionals below Seven Revolutions.
One must know, he hadn't even completed his Five Revolutions quest yet!
Song Ming grinned, suddenly looking forward to his trip to the Black Land three days later.
He hoped those Demon people and Demonic beast race wouldn't disappoint him!
