Improving one's strength is the most exhilarating thing, and when a team works together to enhance their abilities, it becomes a testament to their growth. Everyone rode on flying dragons, swiftly heading towards the center of Luoyang City, directly aiming for Zhou Tianshi.
Meanwhile, the Martial Arts Tournament was in full swing, with many participants still competing. Most were merely there to serve as support, willing to go down in flames, especially the players from the Tianshan Sect. At the start of the Duel, they would go invisible and remain so for ten minutes until the competition ended. If one encountered such players without Roaring Baby to force them out of hiding, it would be quite troublesome.
Currently, only Lufeng possessed Roar's Sunglasses Cat, so anyone facing Tianshan players in the Martial Arts Tournament could only consider themselves unlucky.
Soon, the first round concluded, and around a hundred teams advanced to the next round. Who would ultimately emerge as the winner remained uncertain. Lufeng and his companions were too lazy to pay attention; regarding these competitions, they could easily catch up on everything after logging off at night by visiting the Wen Tian Official Website.
At this moment, what Lufeng felt most pressed for was time. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that his Vital Energy Control Technique wasn't proficient enough; otherwise, he might have participated in the Martial Arts Tournament and wasted an entire afternoon.
For newcomers, the clothes and gems gifted by Zhou Tianshi were undoubtedly top-notch. However, for Lufeng and his companions, they were just ordinary equipment. Getting straight to the point without unnecessary chatter, after greeting Zhou Tianshi briefly, they shifted their focus to the gems.
"Tianshi, I've encountered increasingly stronger opponents while traversing the martial world lately. I really want to enhance my combat power quickly. I wonder if you have any quick strategies?" Lufeng subtly hinted at his question.
Zhou Tianshi looked at Lufeng and thought for a moment. This kid is quite clever; he even knows what I’m planning. I hope he doesn’t cause trouble in the martial world and instead benefits the common people; otherwise, my sins will be great.
"I see. Luoyang's Peng Huaiyu just invited me to visit his gem workshop. If you go there, that old fellow is hospitable and will surely offer you gifts!"
Lufeng quickly clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Tianshi!"
With Zhou Tianshi as his guide, Lufeng boldly headed towards Peng Huaiyu's gem workshop. He mounted his flying dragon and soon arrived at Peng Huaiyu's location.
At that moment, Peng Huaiyu was busy serving other players. Upon seeing Lufeng approach, he smiled broadly, thinking more business was coming: "Hero, how can I assist you? You can combine several identical gems into a higher-level gem or create sockets in your equipment for gem embedding. You can also remove gems..."
"I was introduced by Zhou Tianshi!" Lufeng quickly interrupted.
Peng Huaiyu paused for a moment before regaining his composure and said cheerfully: "So it's Zhou Tianshi who sent you! I've heard about your extraordinary presence; seeing you today truly lives up to the reputation! Here are a Level 2 Ruby, Purple Bamboo Arrow, and Brilliant Garment as gifts for you!"
Lufeng graciously accepted Peng Huaiyu's gifts and checked his inventory; indeed, three new items had been added. The Level 2 Ruby could increase 25 points of Stamina when embedded into equipment. The Purple Bamboo Arrow was a Level 40 Drilling Material; gems could only be embedded into equipment that had been socketed first, and Level 40 Purple Bamboo Arrows couldn't be used on equipment above Level 40.
Lufeng understood this was part of a Chain Quest. Before he could start socketing his equipment, Peng Huaiyu began explaining: "The items I gave you earlier are just a courtesy gift. In this martial world, what matters most is enhancing personal strength. Embedding gems into your equipment can quickly boost your combat ability, but you need to create sockets first. The material for creating sockets is that Purple Bamboo Arrow. Now you just need to use the socketing function here with an item no higher than Level 40 along with Drilling Material."
After finishing his explanation, many options appeared in Lufeng's mind: socketing, embedding, gem synthesis, etc. Lufeng intentionally selected the socketing function and moved the Brilliant Garment and Purple Bamboo Arrow onto it. After deducting 1 gold coin, the Purple Bamboo Arrow disappeared while a small square hole appeared on the Brilliant Garment. At the same time, a System notification confirmed that socketing was successful.
Lufeng felt very Understood. The chance of successfully drilling the first hole was 100%, but for the second, third, and fourth holes, the success rate was not guaranteed. When luck was not on his side, even using several Drilling Materials could lead to failure.
"The hole is done!" Lufeng said calmly, without any hint of joy.
Peng Huaiyu nodded silently and continued to explain, "Once an equipment has holes, we can inlay gems into them. Inlaying gems requires a Gem Inlay Symbol. Please accept this Advanced Gem Inlay Symbol!"
"Thank you!" Lufeng happily accepted it. It was worth noting that an Advanced Gem Inlay Symbol currently cost 98j. Once Reality Currency could be exchanged for in-game currency, he could directly use gold coins to purchase various items from the Tongbao Store.
Next, Peng Huaiyu instructed Lufeng to inlay the equipped item with the gifted level 2 ruby. After completing this task, he could freely choose a level 2 gem from the four attributes: Ice, Fire, Mysterious, and Poison.
Inlaying gems was different from drilling holes; there were two options. One was to use the Advanced Gem Inlay Symbol, which did not require an Extreme Probability Pearl and had a 100% success rate. The other option was to use a low-level gem inlay symbol, which required an Extreme Probability Pearl and only had a 75% success rate.
The Extreme Probability Pearl was used to increase the chances of successfully inlaying stones. However, there was a downside: if a low-level gem inlay symbol was used along with an Extreme Probability Pearl, the success rate remained at 75%. If it failed, the stone's level would drop by one (a level 3 stone would downgrade to a level 2 stone, and a level 2 stone would drop one level; generally, no one would risk using a level 4 gem for such a gamble). Therefore, using a high-level inlay symbol guaranteed a 100% success rate without needing an Extreme Probability Pearl. In simple terms, for inlaying: Equipment + Stone + Low-level Gem Inlay Symbol + Extreme Probability Pearl = 75% success rate; Equipment + Stone + Advanced Gem Inlay Symbol = 100% success rate.
With the advanced inlay symbol gifted by Peng Huaiyu, Lufeng felt empowered. He placed the Brilliant Garment, level 2 ruby, and Advanced Gem Inlay Symbol into the gem inlay function and confirmed his choice. After deducting 1 gold and 56 silver coins from his account, a level 2 gem appeared on the square icon of the Brilliant Garment, significantly enhancing its attributes:
【Brilliant Garment】 (Clothing★★★★)
Level: 40
Durability: 147/147
Base Internal Attack +369
Basic External Attack+369
Health Limit +1297
Qi Limit +669

Introduction: A very rare garment made from special fabric, equipping it increases (Health Cap, Qi Cap, External Skill Attack, Internal Attack, Stamina, Composure, Critical Hit). It is a necessary item for the Gem series quest.
In Lufeng's impression, among all the equipment given by NPCs, this Brilliant Garment is the most valuable in terms of usability. The attributes it adds are quite numerous, rivaling those of Handmade. If we consider that the level 40+ equipment of Handmade is still quite difficult to surpass in terms of attributes compared to this Brilliant Garment, it is indeed impressive.
After embedding the gems, Lufeng chose the level 2 Red Crystal reward, casually opting for either the Fire Attack or Poison Attack route. For Lufeng, both Fire Poison options are acceptable. After receiving the reward, Lufeng did not attempt to embed it further; using a level 2 stone would be a waste of advanced embedding symbols. Generally, Lufeng does not embed anything lower than a level 3 stone. For now, he will just embed it temporarily and wait to replace it with higher-level stones in the future.
