Chapter 16: Snow Spirit Cloak
Chapter 16: Snow Spirit Cloak
"Hello, uncle blacksmith, here are the ores you wanted." Returning to the Beginner Village weapon shop, Feng Xiao politely gave the ores over to Blacksmith Zhang.
"Oh, it's Wind Spirit. You finished this pretty good, here are your rewards." Blacksmith Zhang emotionlessly said.
For finishing the mission, Feng Xiao received a blue coloured level 5 equipment and 300 experience points.
"Uncle blacksmith, are you a forging master?" Feng Xiao inexplicably asked.
Hearing the words forging master, blacksmith Zhang's eyes instantly lit up, but it immediately faded. He said in a light voice, "I am indeed a forging master, so if you have any good materials, then bring them to me. Moreover, it will not cost you a lot."
"Oh, then uncle blacksmith, can you forge Immortal Level materials?" Feng Xiao probingly asked. He did not have much hope because it was usually impossible for Immortal Level materials to appear. Even High Level materials are rarely seen, so he didn't expect a forging master of the Beginner Village to be all that strong.
"What? Immortal Level material?! Do you actually have some Immortal Level materials?" Blacksmith Zhang suddenly jumped up and his hands stretched out as fast as lightning as the tightly grabbed Feng Xiao's shoulders as if he was afraid that he would run away. It was almost exactly the same reaction the village chief had when he mentioned the Purple Jade Clear Heart Necklace. Feng Xiao rolled his eyes. They truly were a village, their actions were almost the same.
Without waiting for Feng Xiao's reply, blacksmith Zhang took back his hands. Then he said in a self ridiculing voice, "I lost myself thinking about high level materials. There is no way that Immortal Level materials would appear in the Beginner Village."
"Who says that there aren't any in the Beginner Village? This young master has one." Feng Xiao muttered. Then slowly and flamboyantly, he took out the Golden Snow Wolf Skin. Instantly, the white and gold coloured glow filled the entire shop with life.
Under the glow of the light, blacksmith Zhang's head began to tremble and tears began to fall. He even began to slightly drool...Blacksmith Zhang suddenly grabbed the Golden Snow Wolf Skin and had a look of disbelief as he rubbed it. It took a while before he could calm down.

Good materials were the lifeblood of forging and making a great piece of equipment was something a forging master chased after their entire life. Blacksmith Zhang was a High Level forging master, but like a bird would not poop in its nest and a pig would not fart in its home, he had spent his entire life in this poor little Beginner Village and had gone 40 years without seeing a single high level material. He had no place to demonstrate his master forging skills and could only sit in this little weapons shop selling the most garbage white equipment. That kind of feeling was like dying without an heir.
When he had finally seen the legendary Immortal Level material, there was no way for people to understand just how much excitement he felt.
"Wind Spirit, please allow me to forge this material for you...I won't charge you a single cent and I will use the best material that I have collected over the years to make this item." Blacksmith Zhang had finally calmed down and he looked at Feng Xiao with shining eyes. If he lost this opportunity, there was no guarantee that there would be a next time, so to have to opportunity to work this this Golden Snow Wolf Skin, blacksmith Zhang was prepared to take everything out.
After seeing blacksmith Zhang reveal a face like he was starving for 800 years and had finally seen some meat, Feng Xiao did not have the heart to deny him. Moreover, it was free and he was even giving free materials, there was no loss from this. So he said with a generous expression, "Alright, uncle blacksmith, I'll have to trouble you to make me a cloak then." Cloaks were very rare equipment in Rebirth and the description of the Golden Snow Wolf Skin had clearly stated that it could be "crafted into a cloak", so Feng Xiao had no hesitation at all.
Hearing Feng Xiao's response, blacksmith Zhang was visibly anxious and excited, just like he was waiting for a budding young girl. Then he flipped over some tiles and dug out a box. After moving things around for a while, the black faced blacksmith Zhang took out several glowing ores from below his bed and he revealed a satisfied grin. Feng Xiao endured the dust that flew around the house and did not go out, he wanted to personally witness the forging.
The blacksmith shop was closed and no other players were allowed to enter. Blacksmith Zhang carefully placed the Golden Snow Wolf Skin on the forge. After adjusting its position a bit, he placed four different coloured ores on it.
The flames raged in the furnace and blacksmith Zhang let out a long breath as he stared at the burning flames, silently calculating the heat. Feng Xiao looked at his concentrating form and did not dare to breathe out in fear of accidentally disturbing him.
Suddenly blacksmith Zhang's eyes glowed and a strange little hammer suddenly appeared in his right hand. He quickly striked down on the Golden Snow Wolf Skin several times. The speed of the strikes stunned Feng Xiao.
In the process of hammering, the unceasing hammer whether intentionally or unintentionally continued to touch the different ores. The ores slowly fused with the Golden Snow Wolf Skin until they completely melted in. Feng Xiao looked at the stats of the ores out of curiosity.
Wind Spirit's Stone: Spiritual Level Gem
After successfully being used for forging, it will attach agility and wind attributed stats. Will disappear if forging fails.
Purple Gold Stone: Spiritual Level Gem
After successfully being used for forging, it will attach a stat that increases all stats by 20%. Will disappear if forging fails.

.
Feng Xiao's tears began to fall. Old uncle blacksmith, you are like a new parent to me..
Two Spiritual Level gems and two Immortal Level Gems, taking out these priceless treasure so easily. Feng Xiao thought that this blacksmith Zhang was not reserved at all. In order to make this cloak, he had taken out everything he owned.
...After half an hour.
The flames of the furnace became stronger until it finally completely enveloped the Golden Snow Wolf Skin. Blacksmith Zhang's face was covered in sweat, but the speed of his hammer did not slow down. The expression on his face became even more excited as he completely ignored the fire burning his arm.
Feng Xiao's heart filled with joy. Was it about to be completed?
Under a flurry of blows, the golden glowing snow wolf skin suddenly released a white glow. The layers of dazzling white light began to fill the weapon shop, even penetrating the slits of the windows and doors. It attracted the attention of countless players in the Beginner Village.
The intense white glow lasted for a few seconds before it slowly disappeared.
Was the forging a success? Feng Xiao anxiously looked at blacksmith Zhang sitting on the ground heavily breathing. After blacksmith Zhang slowly recovered his breath, he looked over at Feng Xiao. He shook the golden glowing cloak in his hand as he revealed a look of joy on his face.
Feng Xiao excitedly received the cloak. The moment he received it in his hands, a vigourous aura was transmitted from the cloak that made him feel like he was floating.
