For Fang Zhou, what was more crucial was this: if he could successfully connect with Instructor Huang Qiuyue, take on the Blacksmith Sub-profession from her, and learn the Forging, Refinement, and Inlay Skills, it would be a classic case of "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Thinking of this, a flicker of excitement rose in Fang Zhou's heart, and his gaze toward Instructor Huang grew more fervent.
According to my speculation, the reason Refinement and Inlay consumed so much Soul Power before was that I hadn't formally taken on the Blacksmith Sub-profession and learned its series of Skills. This means I was previously just using Soul Power to simulate the Skill Effects, which naturally resulted in enormous consumption.
