This is not what he wanted.
After chatting with Gu Xuejian, he roughly understood: after reaching the Fifth Grade, weapons had become secondary equipment, while the main equipment had become spiritual artifacts.
The main forging materials for spiritual artifacts are two: one is top-quality Blood Gold Crystal, and the other is the Source Blood of a Fifth Grade Martial Artist...
The rest is up to the weapon forger's skill.
Therefore, each spiritual artifact is "bound" from the moment it's forged, its owner already destined, and it cannot be changed.
Then, a very troublesome matter came for Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had reached the Fifth Grade, so he definitely needed a spiritual artifact.
To obtain a spiritual artifact, he definitely needed a weapon forger to create it.
Weapon forgers often rely on major forces.
Seeking a weapon forger to create a spiritual artifact would be equivalent to exposing his secret of being a Fifth Grade Martial Artist.
