Chapter 168 - Primal Core Spirit Weapon (1/2)

In the history of Ziyun planet, the youngest Primal Core adept had been at least 35 years old. The young man in front of him looked as if he was not more than 20 years of age. Could he already be a Primal Core adept?

In the hall of the Yang family, the Yang family members watched a young man dressed in a flowing white robe lead the middle-aged man away. Their eyes filled with shock. The look of disbelief remained for a long while.

After leaving the Yang family, Zhou Donghuang found a weaponry and bought a Core furnace, as well as some rare metals that he needed.

“Master, I can understand why you bought the Core furnace, to produce the Core drugs, but why did you get all of these metals?” Su Mo asked Zhou Donghuang curiously, looking at the heap of precious metals in his hands.

“To produce spirit weapons,” answered Zhou Donghuang flatly.

“Primal Core weapons?!” Hearing the words that had just left Zhou Donghuang’s mouth, Su Mo’s eyes narrowed rapidly. “Master, you … you know how to make spirit weapons?”

Martial artists beyond the Primal Core stage could make use of their inner Yuan to crystallize a Samadhi fire that could not only be used to produce Core drugs but could also be used to produce weapons. The weapons that were forged in the Samadhi fire were called “spirit weapons.” The space ring was one such spirit weapon. Spirit weapons were special not because of the methods used to forge them. Instead, they required a special material to be used in the forging: the space stone.

However, his master had not purchased a space stone among the rare metals that he had just bought. This meant that his master was about to produce another spirit weapon besides the space ring.

“Very rare?” asked Zhou Donghuang. In his past life, he had been most proficient in producing Core drugs, but he could also easily forge spirit weapons beneath the heavenly spirit weapon tier without any effort.

While purchasing the Core furnace, the rare metals that he had bought together were the materials that he was planning to use to forge inferior Primal Core spirit weapons.

Hearing this, Su Mo laughed as he said, “Master, it is extremely difficult to forge a spirit weapon, and it is much harder than what is needed to produce most other Core drugs. I have heard that among the ten premier sects of the Ziyun planet, two sects each have one spirit weapon. Furthermore, these weapons were obtained by one of the sects a few centuries ago, when they were bought from a Dharma Laws adept who had arrived on Ziyun by accident. They paid a huge sum of money for the weapon. It was only an inferior Primal Core spirit weapon, but even so, it allowed the user to increase the power of inner Yuan by a tenth!”

As he spoke, Su Mo’s eyes seemed to glint with a burning flame.

“Just as I thought … in Ziyun planet, the spirit weapon is indeed a rare item.” Zhou Donghuang’s eyes flashed as he thought this.

“We will return to the guest inn first. Tomorrow I want to make a trip to the black market and get some spirit stones, ” said Zhou Donghuang to Su Mo.

The two of them made their way back to Yuntai Inn. Their journey was smooth. It seemed like the seventeenth elder of the Divine Light sect, Liu Xuanyu, had not sent anyone to stop them, as if he had simply disappeared into thin air. Of course, Zhou Donghuang was well aware that the fact that Liu Xuanyu was in no hurry to make any move did not mean that he had given up, and most likely was just observing Zhou Donghuang’s actions.

Just as Zhou Donghuang had predicted, not long after he and Su Mo returned to Yuntai Inn, Liu Xuanyu, the seventeenth elder of the Divine Light sect, who was waiting in the black market, received the information report from his men.

“Seventeenth elder, the two people not only killed the men we had sent to Yuntai inn, but were even brought to the Yang family household by the Yang people.” The old man stood respectfully in front of Liu Xuanyu, as he continued seriously, “However, they left the Yang family household in one piece. Our plan clearly failed.”

“The Yang family did not try to stop them?” Liu Xuanyu was surprised. “Isn’t that man just a late Connate-stage adept? Even if the two late Connate-stage adepts in the Yang family did not make a move, the Yang family would have had no problem stopping him.”

“Seventeenth elder, ” said the old man with a bitter smile. “At the start, I had the same doubt. But I asked around and found out some news which I am unsure about. The son of one of the Yang elders personally released the news that both the man who had killed the Yang eighth elder, Yang Wei, and the young man alongside him were Primal Core adepts! In fact, the older man even calls the young man ‘Master.’ The young man looks to be not more than twenty years of age.” As he spoke, the old man’s eyes could not help but seem extremely suspicious. “A Primal Core adept who is not even twenty years old? Even though this news has been circulating, I don’t really believe it.”

“A Primal Core adept who is less than twenty years of age?” Liu Xuanyu was first taken aback, then could not help but chuckle. “In the history of Ziyun planet, the youngest Primal Core adept achieved the Primal Core stage when he was thirty-six years old. And that man is none other than the ancestor of our Divine Light sect, one of the only two Dharma Laws adept in the history of Ziyun planet. A Primal Core adept who is not even twenty years old … maybe in those planets which have more training resources … but, here in Ziyun planet, such an occurrence is simply impossible!” As the seventeenth elder of the Divine Light sect, Liu Xuanyu had the authority to say this.

“My thoughts exactly,” agreed the old man with a nod of his head.

“As for that middle-aged man, it is possible that he may really be a Primal Core adept, ” continued Liu Xuanyu. He turned to look at the old man. “Has he returned to Yuntai inn? If not, you keep a close eye on him, then send someone to call me over. I will meet him for myself!”

As he spoke, Liu Xuanyu’s eyes shone with greed. “We must not wait any longer. If he really is a Primal Core adept, within half a year, of those thousand pieces of spirit stone he will have used more than a hundred!”
