Tao and Heaven

Chapter 59: Xuanzhong Spear

Murong Suyue noticed Gu Wen's gaze, smiled shyly, and explained: "Qianlong Villa is famous for forging magic weapons, so it requires body training. I was not born like this. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Gu Wen came back to his senses, bowed and said in return: "I am rude, everyone has their own face, but the difference in appearance is not worth mentioning."

He Huan also stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Brother Hongchen's reaction is normal. After all, Daoist Fellow Murong is beautiful."

This was also the reason why Gu Wen was stunned. It was not that he had never seen a beauty before. After seeing Yu Hua's face, he went to Qianfeng Tower without any reaction. His threshold was too high, and he had no reaction at all to ordinary beauty.

Murong Suyue is actually beautiful if you only look at her face, but not to the point of being otherworldly. However, with a body that is at least 2.3 meters tall and made of copper and iron, it is a different story.

This is more eye-catching than any thin branch with fruits hanging on it.

The atmosphere relaxed, and Gu Wen got straight to the point and said, "I need a handy long weapon, preferably a gun that can be stored freely."

Murong Suyue said: "One high-grade Dragon-Tiger Pill is required for an ordinary weapon, and at least five high-grade Dragon-Tiger Pills are required for a magic weapon. Spiritual weapons are hard to come by. I have only refined three with the help of the resources of the Immortal Realm, and they are of the highest mid-grade."

According to the Imperial Treasure Book passed down by Yu Hua, artifacts are divided into three levels: ordinary, magical, and spiritual. Each level is further divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower, for a total of nine grades.

Ordinary weapons are not ordinary iron weapons, but can be infused with magic power to enhance their power. They are generally used by cultivators who have just started to practice Qi. The remaining magic weapons and spiritual treasures have greater power, and the only difference is whether they have spirituality.

After all, objects are just objects. The key lies in what they are used for and who uses them.

Of course, there are ultimate objects in any path, and the ultimate objects are Dao weapons, immortal tools, and supreme treasures. Such treasures can no longer be described by grades, so there is no upper, middle, or lower grade.

"As for long weapons, there are ten common weapons, three magic weapons, and one spiritual treasure. To store them, you need at least a magic weapon, and the price will be 50% more expensive while the power remains the same."

Murong Suyue reached for the cloth bag at her waist, a flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she took out a few small items from it.

A silver bracelet and a jade pendant, and then transformed into a silver spear and a halberd respectively.

Gu Wendu took it and tried it, while Murong Suyue introduced its efficacy and price. The silver spear was a low-grade magic weapon, which required six high-grade dragon and tiger pills. The halberd was a high-grade magic weapon, which required one Ningdao pill.

He was satisfied with both weapons, but when choosing goods he always wanted better ones.

Gu Wen asked, "Does Lingbao have any long weapons?"

"Yes." Murong Suyue nodded and said, "But I don't think you can afford it, and you probably won't buy it because it's made of Xuanzhong iron."

She then took out a finger-long iron pestle from the cloth bag at her waist, and then injected magic power into it to transform it into a pitch-black "gun".

The texture of the gun is gray and the surface of the gun barrel is a little bumpy, and only the pointed tip makes people feel that it is a weapon.

The thing Gu Wen received was extremely heavy, probably weighing around two hundred kilograms, almost as heavy as an adult.

The weapon weighs one pound, and the hand needs ten pounds of strength to hold it. With Gu Wen's current strength, it is a bit difficult to hold it.

"too heavy."

"This is Xuanzhong Iron. I got it by chance. It could have been nurtured in a treasure land and turned into a top-grade spiritual treasure. But because the earth dragon turned over, the nurturing process was interrupted, and it became a low-grade spiritual treasure."

Murong Suyue looked regretful. Seeing that Gu Wen was somewhat tempted, she dissuaded him, saying, "The Xuanzhong iron is extremely hard. I can only do some simple polishing. It is more like a piece of iron than a gun. It does not have any additional blessing."

Gu Wen grasped the key point and asked, "Can it reach the level of a spiritual treasure just by relying on hardness?"

"Heavy black iron is an excellent material for the formation base, but have you ever seen someone use a city gate to hit someone?"

"I want it, how much?"

He Huan wanted to say something, but he had to hold it in because of the rules. As a middleman, he could only remain silent. Both parties made the deal based on their own abilities. If he made a mistake and suffered a loss, it would be his own fault.

Seeing that the other party was so determined, Murong Suyue couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Xuanzhong Gun. Perhaps there was something special about this gun.

But she didn't intend to raise the price. If she couldn't see it, then she had no chance. She said:
"Two Condensing Dao Pills, but I want to make friends with Brother Dao, so one will do."

A genius who possesses the martial arts skills, ranked fifth on the Earth List and tenth on the Human List, is worthy of her taking the initiative to make friends with him.

"Deal." Gu Wen readily took out a Ning Dao Pill. This high-level pill was of little use to him and he just used it as money.

The weapon is the Xuanzhong spear, and the remaining high-level elixirs are two Ningdao pills, ten top-grade dragon and tiger pills, and five mid-grade dragon and tiger pills.

The reason why Gu Wen chose the Xuanzhong Spear was simple. He didn't think it was some hidden peerless weapon, but it suited him. The Zhaolie Spear was extremely wear and tearful. The ordinary spear he used last time was completely scrapped. It could even be said that it was Gu Wen who prevented it from falling apart.

It is hard enough to withstand the power of Zhaolie Spear, and its heaviness can cause huge destructive power when swung.

Since the spiritual power of the Xuanzhong Spear was extremely weak, Gu Wen only needed to circulate his magic power for a few breaths to refine it. It was undoubtedly much more pleasing to the eye than the naturally rebellious Green-Eyed Water Wave Pearl.

Gu Wen put away the Xuanzhong Gun and said, "Do you have any extra cloth bags on your waist? I want to exchange them for Ningdao Pills and Longhu Pills."

"Brother Hongchen still has Ning Dao Dan?"

He Huan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. When he confirmed that Gu Wen had taken out two Ning Dao Dan, he secretly clicked his tongue.

He broke through the third level without relying on Ning Dao Dan?
Murong Suyue's eyes lit up when she saw the Ning Dao Pill, and she said, "I have another Qian Kun bag, but since I need to put some materials in it, the capacity may be a bit large. If you want to buy it, you need two Ning Dao Pills. I wonder if you can accept it?"

The Immortal Realm suppresses all Taoist methods, especially objects involving space such as Qiankun Bags. Therefore, their Qiankun Bags are specially made, and the consumption of the same capacity is a hundred times that of the outside world.

Most people would not consider a large-capacity Qiankun bag.

"can."

Gu Wen received a light yellow palm-sized bag, and Murong Suyue received two Ning Dao Pills. Both parties were extremely satisfied.

Gu Wen didn't feel bad at all for using up all the Condensing Dao Pills at once, since he didn't need to rely on drugs to condense his Dao foundation. Gu Wen also didn't worry that the other party would lower the price, as the market price was transparent, and the other party who contacted him was a genius ranked fifth on the Earth Ranking.

People always subconsciously look up to a strong person and ignore the fact that no one is perfect.

He played with the Qiankun bag as if he had a mobile phone for the first time in his previous life. He probed inside with his mind and saw a two-cubic-meter space, which was probably equivalent to a two-meter-long fish tank.

Gu Wen retracted his mind, turned to He Huan and said, "If we had such a Qiankun bag at the beginning, we wouldn't have to take so few things."

He Huan curled his lips and said, "There are restrictions on the places where you can become an immortal. Not everyone has a bag as big as Fellow Daoist Murong's. I do have one, but I usually only put some talismans and elixirs in it. Unfortunately, there is an old eunuch who stays with me at the Imperial Household Department, so I can't go there anymore."

Gu Wen glanced in the direction of Taifusi. He would be able to use up all the medicinal fruits in three days. His magic power had doubled as well.

"Then the old eunuch will not be my opponent, but I have to find out when the next batch of tribute will be delivered."

At this time, He Huan suddenly said: "Have you heard about the incident with the Nine Sons of the Zhao Family? Because of the commotion caused by Brother Hongchen and I at Dragon Bridge, that guy was assassinated, and now he has been rescued by Emperor Daojun."

Gu Wen pretended to be out of the matter and asked casually, "Why would you assassinate a loser who can't even build a road? Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know, but there are so many people in the world who want the Zhao family dead. I don't know how many sects are ready to take action, openly or secretly." He Huan shook his head and said, "The reason is very simple. Zhao Feng is the only living prince at present."

only?!
Gu Wen's eyes moved slightly. He remembered that except for the Crown Prince, the other princes had all been sent to their fiefdoms.

Are they all killed now?
Although it is absurd to completely annihilate the vassal kings, if the immortal sects outside the world get involved, then everything will seem normal.

Murong Suyue interrupted, “I heard that Emperor Daojun integrated the Dharma into the dragon vein of the dynasty, so the major sects could not shake him. Now Daqian is being dismantled by the major sects.”

"It's only a matter of time. Otherwise, why do you think the Dao Emperor has been so anxious to collect elixirs in recent years? Isn't it just to try to refine the so-called elixir of immortality before being dismembered? But this is not the point. That is the business of the True Lords."

He Huan paused for a moment, pretending to be mysterious, which aroused the anticipation of the two people.

"Zhao Feng shouldered a part of the national destiny and helped Emperor Daojun resist some of the backlash. So Emperor Daojun will not let him be deposed. He will probably find an unlucky guy to support Zhao Feng."

A cool breeze blew over, ruffling Gu Wen's hair slightly, and the pair of dark eyes under the bamboo hat stirred up waves.

But it was just a slight ripple. Things are different now than in the past. Those with strong strength can always remain calm.

Not to mention that Gu Wen will soon break through to the perfect Tao foundation, the current Emperor Bian Jing Daojun cannot leave the palace, and the old eunuch cannot kill him. He can now find any city wall and use his body skills to climb over it.
