Ultimate Scheming System

Xu Que was completely immersed in the enjoyment of refining equipment.

Two hours…

Four hours…

Six hours passed, and he had successfully extracted all the materials needed for the 100 Miles Killer Blade. Each refined material had to consume 10,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence, and he refined 13 materials. It consumed 130,000 points in total, and then he used 10,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence to fuse! Finally, he used 20,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence to engrave the Rune Mark!

Some 12 hours later, he had used up 200,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence, and a short blade surrounded by lightning arcs was finally born under Xu Que’s creation—100 Miles Killer Blade, a Fifth Grade magic weapon!

Ha, ha, I succeeded! Xu Que held onto the short blade and was overjoyed.

As he now had an easier way to refine equipment, the blueprint for a Fourth Grade magic weapon had been refined into a Fifth Grade magic weapon. His mastery in Equipment Refining had significantly improved. He believed that if he didn’t rely on the Weapon Refining Essence from the System and relied entirely on his strength, he could easily produce a Second Grade magic weapon!

Tut, tut, tut, this is my way! Xu Que smiled as he talked to himself.

At that moment, he found out that his thought process was wrong when he refined the Five Elements Sacred Decree. Now, he realized that this one-time success and achieving improvement to his efficiency of Equipment Refining was the route he should have taken.

He was right to think that he didn’t want to rely on the System, but if he wanted to get rid of it when he owned it, that was foolish. It was right for a smart person to use the System to improve himself and try to achieve the same abilities as the System.

It’s pretty interesting, but I also feel my ability of Acting Tough is rising to a higher level! Xu Que smiled.

He then looked at the 100 Miles Killer Blade in his hands and shook his head slightly. What a pity, there must be a mistake in the formula. If you add a little bit more of Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold, reduce half the Zhen Yi Silver, and finally divide the Ice Soul Dark Iron into three for fusing at different timings, this thing could have a complete breakthrough to the utmost limit and to the level of Sixth Grade magic weapon!

With only one Equipment Refining, he had not only improved his Equipment Refining proficiency, but also deepened his knowledge and understanding of Equipment Refining. He could already make some changes to the formula and that might be his greatest and most unexpected achievement.

“Forget it, I’m done with Equipment Refining. There are still six days to go. Let me engage in secluded meditation.”

Obviously, Xu Que was the kind of person who developed passing fads. Previously, he had been enthusiastic about Equipment Refining and wanted to understand it well. But now, after achieving success in Equipment Refining, he felt that Equipment Refining was too bothersome and so he decided to go into secluded meditation to cultivate himself.

His special physique and his Taoist Connotation were unprecedented and different from ordinary people’s. Thus, his cultivation became extremely difficult to achieve, but it was also destined that he wouldn’t hit a plateau easily. For six full days, Xu Que completely absorbed the rich and incomparable Spiritual Qi inside the tower and even used up hundreds of high-grade Spiritual Crystals.

The final result was that his Celestial Core Power in Dantian had intensified, although it was still far away from the Later Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage.

D*mn it, where’s the ‘everything will come to someone who’s willing to wait’? It’s rare for me to be in secluded meditation for six days, but I still haven’t stepped into the Later Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage yet? Xu Que was unhappy and grumbled to himself.

Ding! “The restriction spell has been temporarily resolved; it can only be maintained for a day. Host, please cross quickly within the given time!” Just then, the System prompted.

Only then did Xu Que remember his serious business. The System had finally opened the restriction spell, and he could access the second floor.

Nice! Second floor, here I come!

Xu Que waved his hands and swept away the ashes of the Spiritual Crystals on the ground. He got up and ran to the second floor. A moment later, the refinery materials on the second floor of the Equipment Refining Tower, which were also on shelves, were all thrown into the Deposit Storage of the System, piled up like a mountain! Compared with the materials on the first floor, the materials on the second floor were more precious, but the quantity of materials on the second floor was much less than that of the first floor. The number of foundry tables had decreased, and the Equipment Refining Blueprint placed on it had also been upgraded to a Fifth Grade magic weapon, a dagger named Cloud Bee Bloodthirsty Sting.

In short, the main material of that magic weapon was the sting of a Cloud Bee. A Cloud Bee was a kind of peculiar Demonic Beast. It was huge in size, quick in speed, and its sting had a bloodthirsty magic effect. Once it penetrated the body, it would quickly suck off all the blood.

Xu Que took away thousands of Cloud Bee’s stings and other materials on the second floor—it was a tremendous harvest. But he wasn’t satisfied, and his gaze was directed to the staircase leading to the third floor!

That was also the last floor of the tower. According to the law that the higher the better, Xu Que couldn’t miss the third floor! However, this time he was obstructed too. The third entrance was set up with a dense number of restrictive spells, but those restrictive spells were far more powerful than on the second floor. As soon as Xu Que got close, he immediately felt his hair stand on end. He quickly retreated and could sense the extreme danger.

What the hell? This is by no means a restrictive spell that an ordinary person can set up!

Xu Que was shocked and couldn’t believe his eyes. He had never encountered such a terrible restrictive spell. As soon as he got close to it, he felt that he would be killed in seconds.

“System, break it for me!” Xu Que called out the System.

He felt that on the third floor there must be something truly awesome hidden away, otherwis, it wouldn’t be guarded with such a restrictive spell.

Ding! “After evaluation, the System couldn’t break this restrictive spell for the time being!” The System responded quickly.

Xu Que was quiet. He was still wondering whether the restrictive spell was a bluff. Maybe it was giving people an illusion that it could kill in seconds but in fact was only a paper tiger. But now it seemed that the restrictive spell really had a terrible lethality, otherwise the System would be able to break it!

“Forget it, anyway, today’s harvest is abundant. I should go back. Besides the tower can’t run away. I’ll come back again!” Xu Que decided to leave. After all, he had been in there for seven days, and Ling Feng and his people had probably searched high and low for him. They would probably find him soon.
