Zhang Yi didn't have high expectations because he knew that although Tier 1 Energy Crystals were valuable, they could at most forge 2-star equipment. There was only a very slim chance of forging 3-star quality. So, Zhang Yi was content if Ili could craft a slightly higher-level 2-star staff for him.
Unexpectedly, what he received in the end was a 3-star quality staff!
[Glowing Staff]:
Quality: 3-star
