With the bounty of resources gathered over the past three days, Lucian knew it was time to put them to good use. Every resource was valuable, and holding onto them too long could hinder his growth.
Standing before the Forging Workshop, Lucian wasted no time upgrading it to Level 5, unlocking new capabilities for crafting.
He immediately began forging specialized equipment for the Lunar Palace practitioners.

Unlike the Great Qin Warriors' equipment, the Lunar Palace set prioritized refinement and spiritual enhancement over brute force.
Each set cost 50 Void Crystals to craft, totaling 200 Void Crystals for a full set. Outfitting the 50 practitioners cost Lucian 10,000 Void Crystals in total.
The forging process hummed to life, and soon, a new batch of beautifully crafted equipment emerged.
Lucian distributed the gear to the practitioners, who excitedly donned their new attire. Their delighted chatter filled the air as they admired their reflection in the Moonlit Mirror, adjusted their Jade Hairpins, and secured their Jade Belts.
"Are you ready for battle?" Lucian asked with a smile.
"Young Master, your praise flatters us!"
"Please grant us your blessings, Young Master!"
"For Young Master, we are fearless!"
The practitioners, now clad in their radiant Moonlit gear, replied enthusiastically. Their combination of elegance and ethereal power was captivating.
However, some struggled to integrate the hairpins with their hairstyles. While some quickly tied their hair into elegant buns, others clumsily clipped the pins to their existing styles, creating a somewhat humorous sight.
Lucian chuckled at their antics. "They need some practical combat experience," he thought.
After a brief discussion, Lucian led the practitioners to the Wall, giving them a crash course in defense tactics.
The practitioners, quick learners as always, took their positions. Their faces turned serious, and they clutched their Lunar Mirrors tightly, ready to defend the territory.
Satisfied, Lucian left them to their duties and moved on to oversee the Qin Warriors' preparations.
After a busy morning, Lucian returned to the Pavilion, where Qin Keqing was enjoying a quiet cup of tea.
"Young Master, you look tired. Let me pour you some tea," she said gently, offering him a freshly brewed cup.
Lucian smiled and shook his head. "I'm fine. By the way, I want you to open this."
He handed her a Destiny Reward Box—a special treasure from the previous day's spoils.
Quality: Unknown
Description: A mysterious gift from fate itself. It could contain anything—from a trivial trinket to a world-changing artifact.
Qin Keqing's eyes widened in curiosity. "A gift from fate? Young Master, is this safe to open?"
Lucian laughed. "Safe or not, we'll find out. Open it and see what happens!"
A system prompt appeared in Lucian's mind.
[Destiny's Gift: Choose Your Tier]
Free Option: No cost. Low chance of obtaining rare items.
1000 Void Crystals: Higher chance of rare items, with a slim chance for legendary items.
10,000 Void Crystals: High chance of rare items and a decent chance of legendary items.
Lucian hesitated for a moment, weighing the options. "Fate always demands a price," he mused.
He turned to Qin Keqing and said, "What tier should we choose? Do you feel lucky?"
