Through Icesmith, and by combining its effects with Crafting, I can more or less create stupendous Ice Weapons and Equipment, which is what Benladann is carrying as of now.
Aside from her leather clothes which she likes to wear, she also has metallic ice dragon scales plate armor which I made through Icesmith and also using Ice Thread.
Her boots were also crafted by me and enhanced with my ice, and she also has a large metallic ice dragon scale shield which holds some of my defensive power and it is also resistant to the elements I resist, alongside the scale armor.
Lastly, there is her Ice Axe, which she used to hunt prey with and also fight against me.
After the axe took enough lives and was bathed in enough blood (mine included which I poured willingly), it evolved through its self-evolution Trait.
It seems that most anything I deem as equipment becomes an Item in the System, and anyone that wears it receive special effects.
Checking on Benladann's equipment makes System windows emerge, it seems that the equipment itself has its own status.
[Tyrannical Ice Dragon's Freezing Axe (C-Grade+++)]
[Durability: 2500/2500]
[Magic Conductivity: 1500]
[Traits: [Evolving Weapon (C)], [Freezing Slash (C)], [Dragon Strength (C)], [Auto-Repair (C)]
Her weapon has fewer traits because it doesn't possess the defensive Traits of my Scales, as it is purely made of ice. I had thought about using my scales to enhance it though, albeit I don't know how… maybe by just wrapping ice thread around them and the axe? I don't know if that will work.
This axe is pretty strong, and it not only helps Benladann have great physical options, but she can also use it as a staff and conjure mold with it.
The Dragon Strength Trait gives a temporal boost of power to Benladann in exchange for mana, which is like a lesser Berserk Mode in simple terms.
Auto Repair showed up when the weapon evolved, most likely giving it the ability to auto repair itself through the absorption of Mana.
[Ice Dragon's Metallic Scale Armor Plate (C-Grade)]
[Durability: 3000/3000]
[Physical Defense: 2000]
[Magical Defense: 1500]
[Traits: [Evolving Equipment (C)], [Ice Resistance (C)], [Fire Resistance (C)], [Thunder Resistance (C)], [Wind Resistance (C)], [Lesser Physical Damage Resistance (C)], [Ice Dragon's Protection (C)]
And here it is, her plate armor. I made it big because Benladann has a rather big chest… After she ate enough and got healthy… well, her breasts got very big, so I had to modify this so her chest could fit in properly.
I think I did great work with this one, using my scales helped the armor acquire a lesser resistance to elements and also the physical damage.
[Ice Dragon's Metallic Scales Shield (C-Grade)]
[Durability: 4000/4000]
[Physical Defense: 3000]
[Magical Defense: 2000]
[Traits: [Evolving Equipment (C)], [Freezing Shield (C)], [Ice Resistance (C)], [Fire Resistance (C)], [Thunder Resistance (C)], [Wind Resistance (C)], [Lesser Physical Damage Resistance (C)], [Ice Dragon's Protection (C)]
And lastly, here it is the beautiful shield! This one was a bit more of a pain to make as I had to carefully stick the scales into the ice, but at the end, thanks to Icesmith and Crafting, it came out pretty well, and it has the same effects as the armor, but with an extra Trait, Freezing Shield, which gives her the ability to cover the shield in hard ice by using Mana, giving her an extra layer of protection.
Lastly, let's check Benladann's stats, which had increased quite a bit this last week. Her talent in physical development and cultivation is outstanding.

Benladann's stats have been increasing steadily, unlike she had just recently hit the progression wall, but through most of the week, she was increasing her stats quite well.
Her Health is yet to reach 3k, but over 2k is not bad at all. Her Strength and Magic are surprisingly even, this is because she relies on her Mana Veins a lot to get her strength, so both stats usually grow at the same pace.
Her dexterity is slowly improving, and she should certainly be capable of surpassing my own one day, as her body is slimmer and smaller than my mega dragon body which makes me a walking tank of heavyweight.
She also developed some new Abilities, which derived from others, such as Acrobatics granting Enhanced Dexterity, or Magic Genius giving her Hastened Mana Recovery, and so on.
Also, when she reached Peak Stage, she suddenly learned Mold Magic, just like any other Magic, such as Ice Magic or Wind Magic, she can create spells using Mold and make everything more complex yet swifter.
She has yet to develop this one properly, but maybe if she slowly loses her fears she could become capable of creating a Mold Parasite spell or something, so we can make an army of mold zombies!
Or maybe parasite some cultivators and make them our loyal lackeys.
Hmm, certainly, the potential that Mold has is amazing, she could quite literally play around with the mind of an infected, and if she uses it well enough, she could control the infected from far away to do things for us too…
But seeing how there are all types of magic here, I don't think it will be so easy to infect whoever we want to…
