The Holy Grail's Evolution Power did not guarantee success. Only, the higher the upgrade, the lower the success rate. At the same time, one would have to pay a hefty price. Moreover, if one failed, they would have to wait ten days.
Although the Blacksteel Insignia was only Fine-Gold rank, it was a precious support tool for forgers. It was much more valuable than ordinary Dark-Gold items. Hence, in Shifeng's opinion, the Blacksteel Insignia's success rate was not much higher than upgrading equipment to Epic rank.
If the Blacksteel Insignia failed, not only would it permanently lose 1,000 HP, but it would also have to wait ten days.
Shifeng did not wish to see this happen.
Following which, Shifeng took a deep breath and inspected the Blacksteel Insignia's Attributes.
Immediately, the Blacksteel Insignia's Attributes appeared before Shifeng's eyes.
[Blacksteel Insignia] (Dark-Gold Rank) Unique Equipment User: Ye Feng. The Blacksteel Insignia is the Blacksteel Dwarves' highest medal of honor. When equipped, the Blacksteel Insignia increases forging success rate by 10%. Proficiency has a 15% chance to increase by 1 point. When forging, there is a 3% chance to increase the forged item's Attributes.
Seeing the Blacksteel Insignia's new Attributes, Shifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Following which, he was ecstatic.
"This Dark-Gold ranked Blacksteel Insignia is too amazing! It's no wonder why it costs so much HP to evolve. "Shifeng was indescribably shocked by the Blacksteel Insignia's Attributes.
Not only did the Blacksteel Insignia increase forging success rate by 10%, but it also gave the forged item a 3% chance to increase the forged item's Attributes. This was amazing. Compared to Fine-Gold rank, the Blacksteel Insignia's success rate was three times higher.
In God's Domain, every time an item's rank increased, the production difficulty would increase by a large margin. Although the Blacksteel Insignia's Attributes would not increase an item's rank by a single rank, for example, upgrading Fine-Gold Equipment's Attributes to Dark-Gold Equipment would not be much weaker than Dark-Gold Equipment's. Moreover, the Blacksteel Insignia's forging difficulty would only be Fine-Gold Equipment's. Unknowingly, the Blacksteel Insignia's forging difficulty would surpass that of forgers of the same level.
If other forgers were to find out about this, they would try their best to obtain the Blacksteel Insignia. After all, the further one progressed in Lifestyle classes, the more difficult it became....
After completing the Blacksteel Insignia, the Shifeng returned to Candlelight and began crafting the Conqueror's Armor.
Meanwhile, inside an Orc Fortress in the Orc Empire, a large group of Level 46 and above players attacked the towering fortress. There were over 3,000 players in total.
Although the Orcs defending the fortress were around Level 60 and ranged in strength from Elite to Grand Lord, they died one after another under these players' fierce assault.
However, at the same time, the number of players was decreasing.
"Remember to dodge the boss's skills! Ranged players, use everything you have to get rid of those Cannon Turrets! "Singular Burial commanded as he stood in the rear.
In the Orc Empire, as the Orcs needed to strengthen their defenses, they had constructed many temporary fortresses within the empire's borders. These temporary fortresses allowed the Orc army to rest and rest. As a result, the number of Orcs in the area surrounding these fortresses had increased significantly, making it difficult for players to move about.
However, a large number of temporary fortresses had been established near the Orc Mine. If Singular Burial wanted to obtain the Orc Mine, he'd have to deal with all of these temporary fortresses.
As long as he could deal with the surrounding fortresses, he was confident that he could secure the Orc Mine, which the other superpowers drooled over. At that time, both Coins and Magic Crystals would no longer be a problem for the Sky Burial Society.
"Guild Leader, according to our spies in Ling Yi City, the Ling YI Society has been making a lot of moves. They've created a teleportation function that can send players from Ling Yi City to the border between the Orc Empire and the Starmoon Kingdom, saving them a lot of travel time. Many players are using the teleportation function to earn the Ling YI Society a lot of wealth. Moreover, based on the information we've received, many large Guilds have already begun negotiations with the Guild. It seems that they want to sell Ling YI Level 45 top-tier equipment to the Guild. At this rate, I'm afraid that we'll have a hard time," Daybreak Fog, who wore azure mage robes, reported quietly as she approached Singular Burial.
According to the information they'd received, the Ling YI Society was already at the end of its rope. However, due to the teleportation function in Ling Yi City, the situation had changed. The Guild could even start a war of attrition with the Sky Burial Society.
This wasn't good news for the Sky Burial Society.
A prolonged war of attrition would place a heavy burden on the Sky Burial Society. This wasn't just a matter of funds, but also the development of the Guild's members.
Due to the bounty the Ling YI Society had placed on the Guild, many of its members had died. This had greatly affected the Guild's leveling speed. Moreover, the Guild also had to be wary of ambushes from nearby players. As a result, the Guild's members, who had originally wanted to join the Guild, began to hesitate.
If they didn't deal with the Ling YI Society as soon as possible, even with Ancient Rock City, the Guild's development speed wouldn't be able to compare to the various superpowers'.
"The Ling YI Society really is an unkillable cockroach!" Singular Burial frowned. He then commanded, "Notify Young Master Lei that it's time for his Thunder Legion to take action. Also, inform Blackwater that if they still want the Orc Mine's shares, they'll have to send more top-tier experts to deal with Ling Yi as soon as possible!"
"We're taking action now?" Daybreak Fog was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected Singular Burial to initiate a field team battle so soon.
Previously, they had mostly acted alone, fleeing as soon as they killed their targets. This way, they could minimize the losses they suffered. Although initiating a field team battle would deal a heavier blow to the Ling YI Society, it would also increase their losses. Hence, they hadn't done so until now. Now that they had, it meant that their Guild Leader believed that the Ling YI Society posed a considerable threat. Hence, he intended to end the battle as quickly as possible, regardless of the cost. He wanted to eliminate this threat while it was still in its cradle.
"Mhm. I want to see how long Ling YI Society can last this time!" Singular Burial nodded. The Ling YI Society's sudden change had indeed exceeded his expectations. He had no choice but to take action. However, he also wanted to show the Ling YI Society just how hopeless the gap between their two Guilds was.

Starmoon Kingdom, White River City, Candlelight's top-floor Special Forging Room:
Shifeng sat alone beside a furnace, brandishing the hammers in his hands as he frantically forged the Conqueror's Armor. He had even used the precious Soul Water to increase his concentration.
The Conqueror's Armor required a lot of materials. Just the main materials alone required more than ten types, and the supplementary materials were over twenty. Every material had to be carefully smelted before being extracted. Just the extraction of these materials alone would take more than thirty to forty minutes.
If he tried to forge the armor alone, he would only be able to produce a few pieces in an entire day.
However, players did not necessarily have to smelt the materials themselves. They could also have other forgers do the job. Hence, Shifeng had requested the help of Candlelight's Advanced Forgers, saving him a lot of time.
Moreover, after obtaining the Blacksteel Insignia, Shifeng's production success rate had broken through the 30% threshold. Now, he no longer needed to produce one piece out of ten.
Fuse, stack, fuse, stack …
As one material after another was fused and hammered, the Conqueror's Armor gradually took shape. After confirming that the armor was perfect, Shifeng took a deep breath and began to draw the Advanced Magic Array.
Due to the Soul Water's effects, Shi Feng completed the entire Advanced Magic Array in a single breath. He had not paused or hesitated during the process. It was as if he had completed the task naturally.
Of course, the instant he completed the Advanced Magic Array, the Conqueror's Armor released a crimson glow, intoxicating anyone who saw it.
