[Hidden Poison Blade]
[Added with the fangs of a Poisonous Flying Serpent, its light scales and the hard beak of a Sandstone Spiral Turtle make it light yet sturdy. The slight defensive capability it provides during combat can tip the scales of victory, and the opponent cannot even bear the cost of a scratch.]

Upon receiving the finished product, Li Ang directly gained 36 experience points.
With the blessing of 3 types of Demon materials, the fine short dagger he crafted was of quite good quality, considered a fine piece in the Mortal Realm.
When the weapon took shape, it also drew the sidelong glances of some bystanders. In the Weapon House, especially those willing to rent out workbenches, there were always onlookers.
Among these people were enthusiasts, picky customers, industry insiders, and some rough young people who believed they could secretly learn a few skills.
"Nice weapon." A voice praised from beside him.
Li Ang looked up, and the speaker was a young member of the Beast-Earkin.
This person wore a mask covering half of their face, appearing to be a youth with handsome features. Their eyes were an unusual gold, and they had a short, fine crop of white hair. Two erect, fluffy white beast ears twitched slightly, keeping vigilant of the surroundings at all times.
He was clad in a black and white motorbike outfit, with the back of his shirt opened to expose a smooth and muscular back, typical of Beast-Earkin cooling attire. It seemed he had also used some kind of men’s cologne, giving off a faint, rugged scent.
"That’s ’Platinum Ace.’" Someone murmured softly.
Platinum Ace, was he the airship racer for the Platinum King? Li Ang vaguely heard of this name.
Platinum Racing was a grand event of the Flashing Field, and every leader cultivated their ace competitors. Much like cricket fighting, it was a pastime for those in high positions.
They also specially trained warriors for the Flowing Silver Arena.
"Are you selling it? This dagger?" The youth asked.
"Of course, I’m selling it."
Li Ang had nothing to be reluctant about. No one in his team suited this weapon; he made it just for the skill. It was cumbersome to carry around, better to sell it.
He estimated this weapon to be worth around a hundred thousand Adventurer Coins.
As for the purchasing power of Adventurer Coins, in developed cities like Thousand Tower City in Nebis, the annual rent was about thirty thousand, adding living expenses between sixty and seventy thousand.
And upon reaching the Transcendent Realm, from Tier 4 onwards, equipment costs would multiply several times over.
"Do you accept Sandman Gold Coins?" The youth asked.
This was a collective term for various currencies circulated locally within the Salem Sky Realm. After the arrival of the guild, Adventurer Coins became more widely accepted, but many of The sandland merchants still used this currency.
"No Adventurer Coins?"
The Beast-Earkin youth was silent for a few moments, then said, "I don’t have that much cash on me."
"I’ll be at the black market these days, you can gather the funds and come find me."
The youth said nothing, but he seemed somewhat troubled.
His golden eyes fell on the dagger intently, clearly showing his desire for it, yet there was no room for bargaining here.
Everyone around had witnessed Li Ang crafting the weapon; if he tried to lower the price, not only would he face mockery, someone might even be prompted to bid, making it very difficult for him to secure the weapon.
Did the Platinum King’s ace racer have no money to spend?
Li Ang found it a bit strange and glanced at the person’s profile panel.

Yunxiang Race?
In the Flashing Field, he was considered quite strong, notably due to his "Airship Master," solidly proving his status as an ace in airship racing.
With his strength, rallying some people to hunt Demons was doable. His equipment also showed that there’s a lack of skilled artisans here, being fully armed with Tier 2 gear was already quite decent.
Li Ang inquired, "If you have Demon materials, you can use them for exchange."
Using some materials to directly push Equipment Creation upwards was beneficial, to avoid falling short of the required level when something needed using.
"Really?" The youth seemed incredulous, as if this was an unexpected delight.
Materials and the weapons crafted by artisans differed vastly in value.
Anyone could find a way to kill Demons, but the processing and usage of materials in equipment crafting were almost the untold secrets of various artisans.
With the aid of the system, Li Ang appeared to have it easy, but during processing, it was the knowledge provided by the system and repeatedly treating the materials with Magic Power, rather than mere assembling, that resulted in equipment with quality.
"How much material do you need?" The Platinum Ace inquired.
"That depends on how much you have."
"Oh, right."
Perhaps due to unexpected joy, the Beast-Earkin youth forgot that he was the one making the offer.
"I’ve accumulated quite a bit over the years. With your skills, you could make a lot of equipment. I’ll bring them over, and you can have a look."
The Platinum Ace finished speaking and quickly dashed off, the graceful line of his white tail dancing in the wind.
"Materials for equipment?" Someone beside him commented, "Master, are you really willing? If so, I can gather a pile!"
"I can too, I’ll double whatever anyone else offers!"
The youth’s transaction with Li Ang had been overheard by others, who were all eager to join in.
