Chapter 567: Chapter 329: A Familiar Acquaintance

Tough Iron Battle Boots, Tough Iron Armor, Tough Iron Handguards, and a Hard Gold Saber.

Lu Cang’s Forging techniques were also constantly changing.

The "Basic Forging Hammer Technique" could actually be flexibly adapted with Combat Skills, and with each Forging, he uncovered more properties of the Tough Iron material.

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG—

The speed at which Lu Cang forged equipment was also steadily increasing...

One day, two days, three days...

Time flowed on, and he spent most of every day hammering away at the forge.

In his Future Previews.

Lu Cang would study Enchantment, as well as the principles of Magic and Combat Skills.

Enchantment and Magic were closely related. He could use Enchantment to imbue equipment with Magic, giving the items various magical Effects.

At the same time, Lu Cang was also researching some Low Tier Small Spells.

He planned to take his understanding of the Root Source and create new forms of Magic to spread throughout the world.

He was also studying Combat Skills.

The complete Azure Sky Stream Combat Skill was likely impossible for the average person to learn.

However, Lu Cang had built upon its foundation to construct a basic version, the "Battle Technique Stream"—a watered-down version of the Azure Sky Stream.

’This, too, should count as proof of my existence in this world.’

As for the Death Priest and Decryption Scholar Professions, they were different from Warrior and Mage.

A Death Priest needed to spread a widely known Death.

And a Decryption Scholar had to solve a universally known mystery and publicize the answer.

The conditions for advancing from Tier Five to Tier Six seemed to be a declaration to the world, announcing one’s existence and leaving obscurity behind.

’Spread a widely known Death.’

’In that case... the kind of Death that comes from ordinary Demon slaying probably won’t meet the requirement.’

’As for the Decryption Scholar, solving a universally known mystery... I’ll have to find such a mystery first.’

He deduced and studied in his Previews.

He returned to reality to forge blades.

Lu Cang’s efficiency with his Time was five times that of an ordinary person. For every day that passed for others, five days passed for Lu Cang. Moreover, those five days also incorporated all the research results from the next thirty days of his future.

’Yuna said she couldn’t catch up to me...’

’Of course she can’t.’

With his Spirituality and his time-utilization rate, if Yuna could still keep pace, Lu Cang would be ashamed enough to kill himself.

The month of April gradually passed.

Other than Aigemisa launching a sneak attack on him on April 1st, the rest of the month had been quite peaceful.

Over ten-odd days, Lu Cang had crafted several hundred pieces of iron equipment.

He meticulously applied an Enchantment to every single piece. Besides the equipment, there were also bracelets, Pendants, and even some smooth little stones that Lu Cang had enchanted.

「Supreme Seal」

Anything could be enchanted.

Not just items—even Magic and Combat Skills could be simultaneously enchanted the moment they were used.

His current Magic had improved considerably compared to before.

A soft wisp of Flame coalesced in Lu Cang’s palm. The Flame flared, turning a deep purple.

It was highly toxic and also carried an Enchantment.

Then, the Flame transformed into a liquid. As it flowed, a faint medicinal aroma could be smelled from the Magic.

Lu Cang had actually used Magic to create a Potion out of thin air.

「Life Magic — Ultimate Perfect Healing Water (Tier Two) (Level 501)」

This flowing Magic was no longer ordinary water but had become a "Healing Elixir," a precious Potion that sold for one gold coin a bottle on the market.

And it was an *ultimate perfect* Healing Elixir at that.

Although he hadn’t changed his Profession to Healing Mage, he could already heal the injured through Magic.

It was just a bit of a workaround.

He wasn’t healing from the perspective of a true Healing Technique. Instead, he was transforming Magic into a Potion, a healing method equivalent to having someone drink a healing Potion.

Even now, he was still improving every single day.

And for an ordinary person, Lu Cang’s daily progress could be described as a qualitative leap.

But from Lu Cang’s own perspective, his progress had indeed slowed down.

"Is this... what it feels like at a High Level?"

He had accumulated power for a month, but he still didn’t feel the sensation of an impending breakthrough.

"I’ve delayed long enough in Miselux."

He had been in the basement for more than half a month.

Today was also the day of Yuna’s departure.

Ever since Yuna confessed to him that day, Lu Cang had been hiding in the basement, forging nonstop...

’Perhaps, in his own mind, he really did like to avoid things he didn’t want to face.’

’Yuna was about to leave.’

And yet he had thrown himself completely into Forging... Lu Cang stroked the sharp longsword he had forged. Its blade was keen, capable of increasing the Power of a slash tenfold.

Originally, it only increased slashing Power by ten percent, but after Lu Cang applied two Enhancements, it became a tenfold increase...

This Forging Effect alone was more absurd than the Effects of most rare materials.

For a Profession like Sword Saint, this was almost equivalent to increasing the Power of most of their Slashing Sword Skills by ten times.

This sword was definitely stronger than most Tier Six Weapons.

Just then, the blade slid across Lu Cang’s finger, but it failed to leave even a scratch on his fingertip.

’I should go see Yuna...’

’I should set off, too.’

The Land of the Moon was a place he had to pass through, and on the way, he should also come across the location of that Forbidden Spell.

It would be the perfect time to learn that Forbidden Spell and free up his "wish slot."

Lu Cang thought to himself.

He took a single step forward.

In an instant, he appeared on a street in Atlantis City. He planned to get breakfast first and bring some back for Yuna as well.

The moment he landed,

his Perception picked up a slight disturbance. He saw a silver-haired Cat Girl in the raw fish shop next door, wagging her tail as she held a large raw fish and furiously gnawed on it.

’Uh...’

’Come to think of it, why is there a raw fish shop next to a steamed bun shop?’

’This Cat Girl looks familiar.’

Lu Cang did a quick search in his Memory Palace and remembered her. This was the face he had recorded on the Fire-Written Paper.

Xiumi.

The Cat Girl who had helped him back in the Forgotten Realm.

A Level 5 Hunter.

She had said her hometown was Miselux, and he had actually run into her here.

However, Lu Cang only gave her a glance and had no intention of striking up a conversation.

’Since she met me in the Forgotten Realm, she should have forgotten about me by now. Our connection was settled long ago in the past.’

’From now on, I doubt our paths will cross again.’

Lu Cang bought some steamed buns, then got two cups of soy milk.

With a single step, he concealed himself in the shadows and silently vanished, unnoticed by the crowd.

Xiumi was still gnawing on her raw fish.

Her ears twitched slightly, and she looked toward the spot where Lu Cang had just vanished.

She tilted her head.

"Was... someone there just now, nya?"

A voice called out from behind her. "Hey, Xiumi, are you done eating yet?"

She turned to see her companion from the Adventurer’s Guild calling her.

"What’s the rush, nya!"

"If I choke on a fishbone, it’ll be your fault, nya!"

The human girl with a snow-white Magic Staff on her back couldn’t help but sigh. "The last boat to Moonfall Island is about to leave. If you don’t hurry up, we’re really going to miss it."

"I know, nya."

"But if I don’t eat my fill, I won’t have any energy, nya."

Xiumi muttered, but still swallowed the entire fish in one gulp, crunching the bones.

"You can eat your fill once we get to Moonfall Island."

"No way, nya! This meal is this meal. The next meal is the next meal!"
