After one had mastered the skills, the amount of refined gold and Mithril needed to refine high-level spiritual weapons far exceeded the amount of spiritual herbs needed to refine high-level spiritual pills. Moreover, the failure rate was higher. Sometimes, in order to increase the success rate, other natural treasures might be needed. It was said that in the ancient times, two top blacksmiths even threw themselves into the furnace and used their lives as the price to forge an unparalleled Supreme grade divine weapon.
It was true that the value of a superior-grade spirit tool was also above that of a superior-grade spirit pill. If he succeeded, he could become rich overnight. However, if he failed, he could very likely go bankrupt.
Just like what Xu Changyun had said, the refining families in the small realm heaven had their ups and downs. Success and failure often happened in the blink of an eye.
