Chapter 187 - Golden Essence Elder of Divine Light Sect (2/2)

Zhou Donghuang’s words resounded like a clap of lightning in the ears of Ci Xuan and Tuo Ku, leaving them stunned. They took a moment to recover.

“Sir… you mean to say that you can forge weapons?” Ci Xuan recovered first and breathed in deeply. When he looked at Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were filled with shock.

This young man who looked barely twenty years of age had the ability to forge spirit weapons? In the whole Ziyun planet, not a single person could produce a spirit weapon. Even the only two spirit weapons on the planet were from sources outside of the planet, and not produced by a native adept. And now, this man was claiming that he could produce spirit weapons.

Tuo Ku looked at Zhou Donghuang as if he had seen a ghost.

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded calmly. “Search for these materials carefully… the next time that I am here, if you can produce all of these, I can produce a spirit weapon for you. If you cannot produce them by the next time that I arrive, then forget it.” With that, Zhou Donghuang turned and left without another word.

It was only after his figure had disappeared in the distance that the two of them recovered from their shock. They looked at each other in utter disbelief.

“Tuo Ku… do you think… he really can produce a spirit weapon?” asked Ci Xuan.

“Senior,” laughed Tuo Ku bitterly. “I think you must have an answer of your own?” Of course, regardless of that… I don’t think he is lying. He must be able to produce a spirit weapon himself, otherwise he would not dare to make such a claim.”

Although he had not interacted much with the young man, Tuo Ku was well aware that he was no ordinary man. Furthermore, seeing the formula for the qi-gathering elixir that the man had produced previously, he could tell that he was extremely capable. Of course, it would be no surprise if he could forge weapons.

“I shall return to the sect immediately and inform our leader of this, so that he can make the order to procure these materials as soon as possible.” Just as Tuo Ku had thought, Ci Xuan had an answer of his own.

This time, Ci Xuan had left the sect to follow Tuo Ku to the black market to not only ensure that the trade went smoothly, but also to test the young man who had produced the spirit weapon.

Although it was their first encounter, the young man had still been calm and composed, which made him realize that the young man was definitely not any ordinary person. This man was one that the Divine Light Sect ought not to offend if possible.

But what surprised him was that he had underestimated the young man. He had the ability to produce spirit weapons. He believed him, but even if he did not, as long as there was a chance for the Divine Light Sect to obtain their third spirit weapon, he had to seize the chance, and not let it slip away.

…

“Big Gold, back to the Valley of Medicine Masters!” After getting the fifty thousand spirit stones, Zhou Donghuang did not linger any longer in the Divine Light Empire, and he ordered the Big Gold to return straight away.

After returning to the Valley, he would shut himself away for a long period of time. The fifty thousand spirit stones were enough to lay out a massive formation for him to gather spirit energy. Its effect would be far stronger than those created by a thousand spirit stones.

“After this round… it’ll be about time for me to leave Ziyun planet.” To Zhou Donghuang, Ziyun planet was like Earth in his previous life—too small. It could only serve as his starting point, but was too small for him… he could only showcase himself entirely in the vast universe beyond.

May 25, 1231 of the Ziyun Era, Zhou Donghuang returned to the Valley of Medicine Masters and set up a huge formation to gather spirit energy within the small, beautifully adorned valley for him and those around him to practice.

“What strong energy!”

“My goodness! What is this? Young Master, you are really like a god!”

“Practicing here… before long, I will be able to reach the Connate stage and become a Connate adept!”

…

After laying out the energy-gathering formation, the environment in the Valley was transformed. Fu, Freezing Wind and the rest all felt it, and even the oldest, Lu Qinghu, seemed to turn into a child, screaming with glee.

But Zhou Donghuang had already walked into the wooden cabin that Su Mo had personally built for him and had begun to practice in silence, unconcerned by all that was happening outside the window.
