Falo's shop in the Holy City is located within a small alley in the Adventurer area.

The entire team was rather silent on the way.

Li Ang, one of the members, knew the reason. They were usually more lively, especially Zoe who was always like that.

Then, there was also Andasu, who sometimes could be quite terrifying for the sake of her goals.

But firstly, they had been warned when they entered the Holy City, and secondly, the place was filled with well-dressed Adventurers, and from time to time they would see someone of the Excellence Realm, plus attending high-tier events such as the Knight Resolution Council... a gathering so elite that calling it a top-level meeting might not do it justice. Their momentum weakened considerably.

However, Aira Laphia had no such reason. Li Ang found it rather strange.

After a long time, Aifei finally spoke up: "Why are you looking for her?"

"Is that all you wanted to ask after holding it in for so long?"

Douding's small face flushed with a blush: "You nag, you just need to answer my question."

"I'm looking for her obviously for some weapon-related issues."

Li Ang scratched his head, feeling that the relationship between the two Douding was not just a simple acquaintance.

He said, when he initially came to the Holy City, he thought about seeking her help to look into repairing Treasure Artifacts. Since he obtained a wind attribute Purest Star Crystal from Thunderstorm Star Soul Bally, it was an opportunity to try restoring the power to Zoe's Wind Breath Sword.

"However, there's another matter now."

"Do you plan to tell her about the Decaying Weapons?" Aira Laphia frowned.

"I'm not telling her, just showing her the weapon which has become a perfect embryo, and as a master artisan that is the best we can find, let her see if there's a way to forge a powerful weapon using materials capable of creating Treasure Artifacts."

Li Ang had Zoe take out the Purest Star Crystal and handed it closely to Aifei.

Previously, the blondie Douding had glimpsed this item at Thunder Peak, but never got to interact closely with it.

When he handed over the two extreme materials, one of wind and the other of water, her little hands were almost too small to hold them, so Li Ang had to support them from below to prevent them from falling.

"Alright, take them back."

Aira Laphia's face turned red as she examined the two materials, and said: "Indeed these contain extremely pure Elemental Spirits, it seems your journey this time will certainly not be simple."

She sighed, earlier when Sisyphus was telling the story of the Sword King's childhood where he was saved by a Pegasus that could also turn human, Li Ang noticed her expression was unusual.

They had all heard this story before, but Aifei had only recently encountered the existence of Star Souls, which immediately made her draw parallels.

At this moment, her gaze towards Li Ang was somewhat complex, he felt it was as if she believed he was about to embark on an irreversible journey.

"Do you think this material can be used to forge Treasure Artifacts?"

Li Ang asked Douding, wanting to hear the opinion of someone who was very familiar with the strength of weapons.

"In terms of power level, it's possible."

She spoke conservatively, however, that's because unlike Li Ang who had a system panel, where he could directly see the words [Purpose: Equipment Creation[Treasure Level]] in the information column.

From the power performance perspective, tier 8 is the pinnacle of material strength that can be achieved on its own, even the Crimson Demon cannot avoid commonality.

Only the part that enveloped power capable of tearing dimensions reached tier 9.

The mysterious Bahamut is similar in this regard, its Source Material Claws, based on the literal meaning, possess power related to the primal world, capable of easily tearing through space with its claws.

Li Ang had encountered three materials that could forge Treasure Artifacts—the Purest Star Crystal, Dragon Factor, and Refined Source Crystal.

The last one is derived from the steel that restrained Bahamut, according to its description, a complete "Refined Source Steel Block" is very likely to be a tier 9 material, but the fragments at tier 8, "Bone Crystal," can also be used to craft Treasure Artifacts.

However, what's currently lacking is a method to forge weapons to the Treasure Level.

Although it is said that not all Treasure Artifacts are necessarily tier 9 or even tier 10 equipment, and equipment above tier 9 is not necessarily a Treasure Artifact.

But based on Li Ang's past understanding, non-Treasure tier 9 equipment is even rarer than Treasure Artifacts themselves.

This also illustrates how difficult it is to forge equipment above tier 9; it is possible that in ancient times, artisans would think, since achieving such a feat is possible, why not directly create a Treasure Artifact?

Now, Li Ang just wanted to ask Falo if she could conceive a plan to create a Treasure Artifact using that perfect tier 0 weapon as a carrier along with the Purest Star Crystal and Refined Source Crystal, and if not, at least assist in crafting a high-tier piece of equipment.

After Li Ang expressed his thoughts, Aira Laphia was also unsure, so she suggested they go and take a look first. The two then discussed the hidden origins of the Decaying Weapons.

After arriving at the Adventure Area, the group twisted and turned until they finally entered a small alley.

This place was not secluded, but rather an assembly of high-end stores.

At the entrance of the alley was a boutique potion store, owned by a middle-aged man with glasses. Li Ang casually glanced over and saw through the system that he was a tier 7 Alchemist and a tier 6 Mage.

Just another example of how the Holy City is a place rife with hidden talents.

Li Ang knew before that this owner wasn't an ordinary person, but had never seen him in action, yet the system saw clearly.

Alchemist is also a very unique profession; they combine different materials to craft potions with miraculous effects or items with powerful functions, and even create alchemical creations for protection.

Nebis is reputed to be a Legendary Alchemist capable of Life Refining.

The combat prowess of this profession itself might be lacking, but no one dares to provoke a high-tier Alchemist. One reason is their social connections with many strong individuals, and another is perhaps due to the special nature of their professional abilities, they can easily enhance the tier of certain caster professions.
