Buliwyf Stonehand kept looking over Lu Li's shoulder as he worked on his weapon at his work station .
He hated to admit it, but the adventurer was doing a good job . He wasn't making any silly mistakes like beginners usually would . He even took out a blacksmithing hammer that caught Buliwyf's eye . A player wielding such a high-quality hammer would be a decent blacksmith for sure .
"You're not using the Disintegration Liquid correctly because you're using it on a light weapon, which means you should dilute by half first," Buliwyf Stonehand said, finally finding a mistake that Lu Li had made .
"Like this?" Lu Li was confused .
He trusted in Buliwyf Stonehand because he knew that he had no intention of tricking him .
Lu Li carefully diluted the Disintegration Liquid and soaked his dagger in there . The goal here was to remove the outer protective layers on the dagger so that the materials could be incorporated into it .
Upgrading a dagger was much more complicated and difficult than crafting one .

Fortunately, Buliwyf Stonehand the weapon Grandmaster was here to guide Lu Li and correct his mistakes . After he finished upgrading the dagger, he realized how ridiculous it was for him to attempt it when he had never done something like this before .
System: You have succeeded in upgrading Shard of the Defiler to +3 .
Shard of the Defiler was a Dark Gold weapon and though it was quite overpowered when he first got it, the rest of his gear eventually caught up and surpassed it .
Shard of the Defiler (Dark Gold): Damage 42-56 . Agility+20, Strength+12 . Slot 1 . Special Effect 1: Attack Speed+30% . Special Effect 2: Deep Contamination . Upon activation, reduces 25% of target's armor and movement speed . Cooldown 360 seconds . Special Effect 3: Fatal Blow . When the target health drops below 20%, there is a certain chance to execute the target . Level Requirement 40, Durability 120/120 .
With the upgrade, his weapon had transformed into a Legendary Weapon
Shard of the Defiler (Legendary): Damage 82-96 . Agility +80, Strength +60, Attack Speed +45%, 2 Slots . Special Effect 1: Deep Contamination . Upon activation, reduces 30% of target's armor and movement speed, cooldown 120 seconds .

Special Effects 3: Echo of Archimonde: Activate to transform into a demon, allowing the user to cast demonic skills . Lasts for 30 seconds, useable once per day . Level Requirement 60, Durability 240/240 .
Though the damage and stats may not be as good as his other weapon, the upgrade had caused it to vastly improve . The damage was also very consistent as the minimum damage is only 14 points less than the maximum . This was very rare for weapons that are above level 30 .
If the damage was consistent, then Lu Li can be more confident in his attack .

Lu Li was most pleased with the attack speed increase, which had gone from 30% to 45% .
The dagger kept the first two special effects and added a new active – Echo of Archimonde .
Lu Li had never heard of this skill before .
Archimonde the Defiler was the second commander of the Burning Legion and considered one of Sargeras' right hand men . If the special effect was named after Archimonde, then it was definitely going to be overpowered .
Lu Li did not go and try out his new weapon, but instead decided to upgrade Water Fairy's weapon as well in one go .
Buliwyf Stonehand was even more impressed with Lu Li the second time around . He hadn't seen such a calm and talented young man . Not only did he successfully upgraded the weapon, but the mistakes that he made from the previous upgrade were all corrected .
He only corrected Lu Li once!

Despite it being the same weapon, same upgrade scroll, same materials and same blacksmith, Water Fairy's Shard of the Defiler was a tad better than Lu Li's, but the difference was minimal .
Water Fairy was pleased with the stats of her new weapon . Since Lu Li was the one that upgraded it, his name was engraved onto it, but Water Fairy couldn't care less .
"Hey kid, is this really your first time upgrading a weapon?" Buliwyf Stonehand asked .
"Yeah, I thought the upgrade was 100% chance success with the upgrade scroll?"
Lu Li had never upgraded anything in his past life and never thought that there was a chance of failing the upgrade .
"Stupid!" Buliwyf Stonehand roared as he pointed towards the metal scrap on the floor . "If there wasn't a fail rate, then tell me what are these things on the floor?"
"I'm sorry Grandmaster . Forgive my ignorance," Lu Li quickly apologised .
Lu Li thought that the dramatic bearded Dwarf was very cute and he had also gave him a lot of pointers while he was upgrading .
Buliwyf was pleased with Lu Li's attitude, and stroked his beard, saying, "Upgrading Weapons is one of the easier crafts in blacksmithing . The nature of each material in how they are ordered as well as the structure of each material determines the outcome of the weapon . Why?"
"No idea," Lu Li answered truthfully .
"Why are you so stupid? Answer this, how come the same material can be used to craft a big longsword, yet it can also be used to craft a small dagger?" Buliwyf was frustrated .
"Because of the recipes," Lu Li said without hesitation .
"No, forget that . Forget all of that . If you only think about the recipes, then your mind is limited by those recipes . You must forget about all that nonsense and really think about the nature of each and every piece of material .
"Maybe you should go first, I'll stay and listen to this guy's crazy theory," Lu Li private messaged Water Fairy and looked at her . Since Water Fairy wasn't a blacksmith, it would be a waste of time for her to listen to this crazy old guy .
"Don't worry, he seems to know what he's talking about . Maybe this is a good chance for you to learn something . "
