The two of them walked towards the Weaponry Pavilion.

“You can enter to choose a weapon. I’ll wait for you outside.” Gong Liang Yuan stood outside the door.

“Alright.” Xue Ying entered.

Similar to the Qi Technique Pavilion from before, this large, weapon-filled pavilion did not have any protectors within. As for the reason why… it was simply because the entire Water Daoist Temple was a Demigod-grade treasure. The spirits within, ‘Ancestor Dragon’ and ‘Ancestor Sparrow,’ were able to completely control this entire place. Thus, they couldn’t steal any treasures or take one by force.

“Weapons are essentially an extension of one’s limbs. They are the most important partner one could have in a battle.” Xue Ying understood that a good weapon could increase one’s combat power tremendously.

Xue Ying walked forward at a fast pace.

Soon, he reached the area where spears were placed.

“Racing Thunder Spear, Human low-grade, requires an exchange of 0.5 kilograms of Origin Stones.”

Xue Ying looked towards the azure spear stabbed onto the ground. A metal plate beside it gave a simple description. Plucking the spear from its resting place, he casually swung it. Hu Chi! The spear cleaved space as it moved. Yet, even when followed by a single-handed stab with rippling energy rotating around its length, the slightest damage could not be seen on the walls of the seemingly ordinary pavilion.

“Low grade human rank is one of the worst ranks of Transcendent weapons. The power it transmits isn’t as excellent as my Flying Snow God Spear, and despite being made with Transcendent materials, its refinement is atrocious.” Xue Ying silently shook his head. This spear was most likely the failed refining experiment of some Transcendent.

Not every Transcendent weapon had to be better than a mortal weapon.

Among mortals, a third rank refiner weapon could cost more than a million gold. When comparing the value, it does not lose out to this Human low-grade Transcendent weapon. But to mortals, a third-order refined mortal weapon would be far more useful than a Transcendent weapon!

Except, even a recently ascended Transcendent would scorn a low-grade Human weapon. After all, those weapons could only be called the failures of Refiners. Most Transcendents would try their best to obtain a high-grade Human weapon! As for a top-grade Human weapon, that would certainly be highly expensive.

As Xue Ying walked by, he would occasionally choose a spear to experiment with.

“Mn, the transmission of power through this spear is perfect, but its body is too soft.” With Xue Ying’s physical strength reaching the middle stage of the Sky Realm, even his Flying Snow God Spear felt too soft for him.

“This spear, tut tut, is a bit too long for me.”

Xue Ying had spent more than twenty years training with spears. Naturally, his excitement and fastidiousness in his selection was akin to certain females choosing jewelry. He could feel the uniqueness in every single spear. This was the first time he ever had so much fun testing spears.

As the half hour mark passed, he had already spent most of his attention examining the Human top-grade spears.

Human top-grade spears usually cost between five to ten kilograms of Origin Stones.

“The Water Daoist Faction gave me the freedom to choose any treasures and weapons up to a total value of forty kilograms of Origin Stones, which could allow me to gather an entire set of top-grade Human equipment.” Xue Ying thought to himself. Forty kilograms of Origin Stones was more than enough to obtain a set comprising of an inner vest, armour, boots, weapon, and storage wristband, etc.

“However, if I were to procure them, I’d definitely want to get the best I can.”

Xue Ying turned towards the Saint rank weapons.

With most of them priced around fifty kilograms of Origin Stone, low-grade Saint weapons had an explosive increase in price! Although, this explosive increase could easily be reasonable when considering the gap between a Human grade and a Saint grade Transcendent weapon. A low-grade Saint weapon could offer an increase of combat power of three to four times when compared to a top-grade Human weapon!

“For an upcoming Transcendent like me, a low-grade Saint weapon would be more than enough.” Xue Ying decided then and there.

He already had a storage wristband.

As for his protective inner vest, it was a top-grade Saint inner vest left behind by Elder Lei Zhen, which was extremely suitable for him after he comprehended the Profound Mystery of the Water of Myriad Existences.

Thus-

He could randomly select any Human grade clothing and rely on his excellent protective inner vest.

That left only a spear and a pair of boots, so Xue Ying definitely needed to select the best ones for himself.

…

After a while, Xue Ying finally arrived at the decision of choosing his spear.

“Hong.” The black body of the spear was seemingly made of some special Transcendent wood. A faint crimson line traced along the surface of the wood, emitting a dragon roar when he tried sensing it. With just a casual flick, the spear would generate that roar.

“Black Dragon Spear, crafted with Dragon’s Blood?” Xue Ying smiled, “It weighs approximately six hundred kilograms. Definitely suitable with my spear techniques.”

Some spears seemed foggy when looked upon by the naked eye. Wielding those spears allowed attacks to become ghostly and ephemeral.
