As for why I added points this way, it’s naturally because the equipment requirement for "Seven Steps to Buddha" is 10 Qi Blood. Although 5 Qi Blood only meets half the requirement, the Longsword is a one-handed weapon. If dual-wielding a one-handed weapon, the weapon attribute requirement drops by half. Even if the character initially doesn’t master Swordsmanship, leading to reduced weapon damage, at least it’s usable.

Actually, even if the attributes aren’t enough, it’s still usable, but the attack speed would be unbearably slow.

When it came to the least important naming phase, Yan Qing instead fell into deep thought.

According to the zodiac order, this character should be a combination of Ox and profession. Yan Qing is sure about the profession; a girl with a sword who wants to fight her way into Shu Dao Mountain must indeed be a Female Knight!

But "Ox Female Knight" sounds weird, while "Rabbit Heroine" seems more fitting. Yan Qing remembers his cousin’s family also keeps a rabbit that, given the chance, always escapes its cage and leaves chocolate everywhere in a nervous and startled manner—thinking carefully, it’s somewhat similar to his cousin... So that’s it, "Rabbit Heroine"!

After arriving at the "Chang’an Affiliated Newbie Village," Yan Qing couldn’t wait to equip Rabbit Heroine with two tokens.

The first is a Second-Turned Rare Token "Seven Steps to Buddha" that doesn’t require Spiritual Power.

The second is the Second-Turned Legendary Token "Hand of Melting Hundred Phases!"

"Hand of Melting Hundred Phases"

"Grade: Second-Turned Legendary"

"Durability: 150/150"

"Equip Effect: +5 Soul, -1 Dexterity"

"Material: Great Sun True Gold, Dark Moon Essence, Mountainous Deep Copper, ???, ???"

"Weakening: You attempted to repair this token using Refined Gold Furnace Liquid, resulting in a level drop of 20, maximum durability reduced by 50%, and due to incompatibility between Refined Gold Furnace Liquid and token material, the repair was a failure, significantly weakening the token, durability consumption +300%, durability repair effect -33%, breaking again will turn it to dust."

"Effect · Strike (Weakening): When wielding any melee weapon or bare-handed, you can activate Wrath Strike. You will launch an attack at 200% attack speed. If the enemy attempts to block, it will cause at least 5 durability damage to the blocking item; activating Strike will consume 2 durability points of the melee weapon. Due to the failed repair of this token, activating Strike might consume 1 durability point of Hand of Melting Hundred Phases."

"Effect · Block (Weakening): When you use a weapon or bare hands to block an attack, you will definitely succeed in blocking, but will consume 5 durability points of the weapon and 3 durability points of the Hand of Melting Hundred Phases. Because this token was subjected to a failed repair, blocking damage from items above Fourth-Turn will result in additional 200% durability consumption."

"Effect · Melting Hundred Phases (Weakening): Melting Hundred Phases, insight into all weapons!

When the enemy launches a melee attack, you can attempt a perfect block. A successful perfect block won’t consume durability and will return the enemy’s attack back to them, with 80% of the enemy’s attack as counter damage, which can be blocked by defensive tokens; it will also deal 10 counter-shock damage, affecting the enemy’s armed parts and can’t be blocked by defensive tokens.

Successive perfect blocks will cause increasing durability damage to enemy weapons.

If the perfect block fails, it’s considered a regular block.

The more tokens of this entry you have equipped, the wider the perfect block judgment range.

Due to the failed repair on this token, the judgment range of perfect block against attacks from items above Fourth-Turn is only half the original."

"Evaluation: We melt Hundred Phases into one weapon, refine a weapon as Hundred Phases."

Yes, Yan Qing successfully sent the repaired Hand of Melting Hundred Phases to the character’s hand, using only one item: Treasure Hunting Order.

The method is very simple; the character uses the Treasure Hunting Order to post an order at midnight, requesting to trade Hand of Melting Hundred Phases with no specific item parameters. Then Yan Qing uses the Treasure Hunting Order to fulfill the order, taking only five seconds, and Hand of Melting Hundred Phases is now cleared as an account-bound item.

Although sellers need to know item information to list items, buyers fulfilling the order don’t have this limitation, they only need to actually own the relevant item.

Previously in the Secret Vault, Yan Qing used the Heart-Protecting Mirror to trade mundane items. How could ordinary people know their item’s details? But they could directly click the trading board to complete the transaction.

Yan Qing then shifted his thinking and found that as long as he was the buyer, he could use Treasure Hunting Order to pass any item to other characters.

The operation seems simple, but there’s a critical prerequisite: the name "Hand of Melting Hundred Phases" must be genuine.

In this world, if people don’t have channels to know a token’s true name, they can only randomly name it according to the effect.

For instance, the "Water-Stepping Boots" and "Soul Refining Armor" that Yan Qing brought back from the Secret Vault—he tried and couldn’t find corresponding items in the system, as local people gave them fake names that can’t be uploaded as orders nor passed on to characters.

The name "Hand of Melting Hundred Phases" doesn’t seem like it randomly named by locals, and Yan Qing succeeded in clearing it in one try.

...

...

"This was given to me by my brother," Rabbit Heroine said.

"Who is your brother? Rabbit Hero?" Pharmacist’s Wish asked curiously.

"Who would have such a name," Rabbit Heroine retorted disdainfully, "Big sister, you’re so childish."

Pharmacist’s Wish’s fists tightened, but in front of a little girl, a girl who saved them from disaster, she could only endure her anger—this is exactly the scenario Yan Qing wanted to see, oh hey.

Originally, Yan Qing didn’t have much idea about "Rabbit Heroine’s" character design, or rather, most of his characters had personalities similar to his own—silent and unskilled in speech.
