Bai Pu left the training ground, took a quick shower, and finally saw the restored crown.

The crown was entirely bright gold, with a golden ring at the base and three diamond-shaped golden foreheads, one large and two small, with gemstone grooves left on them.

Except for the lack of gemstones, it had been fully restored to the appearance of the crown Emperor Gustav once wore.

The original cracks were no longer visible, and the three diamond-shaped foreheads were covered with intricate and mysterious dark golden patterns.

"The dark golden patterns on these three diamond-shaped foreheads are runes engraved on the equipment. The attribute bonuses and skill effects that equipment has are actually the function of the runes."

The Anvil explained to Bai Pu, "As for the embedded gemstones, they can be seen as the core of the rune's power operation, greatly enhancing its effects."

Currently, this [Commanding Crown] no longer had the "remnant" mark, and Bai Pu checked its attributes.

[Commanding Crown (Sealed)]

[Quality: Indeterminable]

[Equipment Requirement: Basic Full Attributes 20]

[Equipment Position: Head]

[Attributes: All Attributes +2 (Enhanceable)]

[Additional Skill 1: Commanding Aura (Pending Activation)]

[Additional Skill 2: ??? (Pending Activation)]

[Durability: 70/100]

[Explanation: This damaged crown has been meticulously repaired, but it still lacks gemstones of equivalent value to unleash its potential.]

Seeing Spirit Realm Will's explanation of its "meticulous repair," Bai Pu gladly fulfilled his part of the deal, paying a material fee of 50,000 Spiritual Points, and then asked, "Where can I find high-quality gemstones?"

Chi Li said, "Gemstones are usually special loot occasionally dropped in Advanced Spirit Realms, or you can obtain them through exchanging merits in the factions of Advanced Spirit Realms. Of course, some lords in Mid-level Spirit Realms, and even treasure chests from Enhanced Leaders, might drop gemstones too.

"However, be careful when embedding gemstones. High-grade gemstones can indeed greatly enhance the equipment's power, but they also increase the equipment requirements. You might complete the final repair after much effort, only to find your basic attributes can't equip it. This crown especially requires basic full four-dimensional attributes."

Bai Pu's current four-dimensional basic attributes were enough to meet the requirements of the crown in its current semi-finished state.

He hesitated to put on this semi-completed crown. To be honest, even in its semi-finished state, with all attributes +2, it was already stronger than the Bronze-level famous relic [Kan Ze's Turban] with Spirit +4.

However, Kan Ze's Turban had detection abilities and the ability to restore Spiritual Power, which was not easy to replace at the moment.

Moreover, a crown without gemstones, though very exquisite, is like a beautiful woman without eyes, giving an incomplete feeling.

Bai Pu put away the crown and then took out a pile of materials.

Enhanced Leader-level material: Tendons of Crimson Wings.

Enhanced Leader-level material: Arachnid Scythe from Demon General's Hunting Scythe (two pieces).

The Demon General's Hunting Scythe's body was used as a container for the Primordial Heart until Bai Pu completed his job change.

Bai Pu completed his job change task quite quickly, and the essence of the scythe body was not completely depleted by the Primordial Heart. Eventually, after Qin completed the heart transplant surgery, the remaining essence gathered in these two Arachnid Scythes, forming this pair of Enhanced Leader-level materials.

Bai Pu showed these materials to Master Noel, hoping to commission him to craft them into weapons.

However, Master Noel felt he had repaid Bai Pu after assisting with the surgery and followed through with his original vow, swearing to never touch Flesh and Blood Alchemy again.

Thus, this pair of Arachnid Scythes remained in Bai Pu's Storage Space.

Bai Pu felt Senior Chi Li was reliable, and with the Anvil around, he took out these rare materials to see if they could be useful.

"Wow, these scythes!" the Anvil exclaimed in surprise.

Chi Li glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "If you can't keep your cool, when an outsider brings out these materials, you might as well bleed out."

The Anvil scratched his head sheepishly.

Chi Li said to Bai Pu, "The Anvil wants to forge Golden Equipment to break through the Level 4 Blacksmith threshold. These two Arachnid Scythes are almost natural weapon embryos. With some auxiliary materials, the possibility of creating Gold Level weapons greatly increases! That's why he lost his composure."

"There should be another reason; these are paired materials. Even if the Anvil fails the first time, he can gain valuable experience for the second attempt and increase the success rate," Bai Pu said.

Chi Li noticed Bai Pu's keen insight, understanding that even without the Anvil's slip, Bai Pu wouldn't sell his materials for a loss. Although not an expert, Bai Pu had a sharp sense of the value of his materials.

Actually, there's another point. Such paired raw materials, if given to a famous master in the Advanced Spirit Realm and crafted painstakingly, have a small chance to become legendary green set weapons!

Of course, achieving this would be unimaginably difficult. A renowned master blacksmith in the Advanced Spirit Realm would need to have at least an Admiration level reputation, and then you would need to spend a terrifying amount for them to painstakingly craft your equipment. The effort and cost would not be any less than obtaining this set of materials.

Nevertheless, Chi Li wouldn't mention it. His relationship with the Anvil was closer, and revealing it would ruin the Anvil's hope of obtaining these materials.

Everyone has their selfish desires, and Chi Li couldn't avoid it either.

"So... how to exchange?" Chi Li asked.

Bai Pu didn't look at the eager Anvil and said, "I took out these materials for a trade. I won't raise the price just because of the Anvil's needs, a fair exchange is fine."

The Anvil breathed a sigh of relief. Last time he met Bai Pu, they had exchanged Alchemy materials, so there was a precedent.

However, the Anvil still felt troubled. "I don't have any Enhanced Leader-level medicine anymore."

"I'm not exchanging for medicine this time, I want to exchange for a Skill Book," Bai Pu said, keeping his needs in mind.

He knew that keeping the Arachnid Scythes might yield a greater benefit, but Bai Pu's energy was limited, and he didn't have time to find specialists in the Spirit Realm to work on it.

Think about it, Bai Pu would need to explore the Spirit Realm for gemstones to embed in the crown, and to charge the clay tablet to unlock the second tier of the Talent Tree, and both tasks take priority over the Arachnid Scythes.

Moreover, even if the Arachnid Scythes were forged into weapons, they would most likely become two single-handed Gold Level weapons that Bai Pu would rarely use. To waste energy on something useless and delay his proper tasks would be counterproductive.

"A Skill Book? For your own use?" Chi Li asked.

Bai Pu nodded and stated his requirements.

"I do have one."

Chi Li took out a somewhat worn silk book.

"A Three-star Skill Book?" The Anvil and Yuan Yue, who were beside him, showed expressions of surprise.
