Chapter 240 – Spiritual Tools Upgrade
Chapter 240 – Spirit Weapon Upgrade
“Chun Niang hasn’t heard from you for a long time, do you want to refine artifacts, then you’re looking for me to find the right person, even though I’m just a registered disciple, but my few senior brothers and sisters kinda take care of me.”
After learning that Xu Chuniang was at the main peak, Huo Chunyan even told her to wait where she was, saying that she would arrive soon.
It didn’t take long for Huo Chunyan to find her, only her appearance was a bit strange, looking left and right as if she was hiding from someone.
After rounding with Xu Chunniang, Huo Chunyan leaps onto her flying sword and then urges her to hurry up and follow.
“Hurry up and go, you won’t be able to leave if you’re discovered later.”
Xu Chunniang cries and laughs, “Why are you in such a hurry, could it be that you have done something unseemly?”
“Alas, nothing, just skipped a class.”
Huo Chunyan then spills her guts.
“Our Peak Master is really …… strict in his enforcement, requiring all the disciples of Weaponry Peak to go to the classes he assigns. Some of the lecturers are okay, making the Dao of Weapon Refining lively and interesting, but some of them are just …… hard to explain, it’s better for me to read a book by myself.”
Huo Chunyan gave her a “you know” look and sighed.
“Obviously my master didn’t even ask for anything, favoring the Peak Master so screwed up, and had to go to the class. I was just getting distracted, and it just so happened that the senior brother who was attending the class wasn’t there, so I slipped away after receiving your voice transmission.”
Xu Chuniang instantly realized, no wonder Huo Chunyan had that look on her face, she was really hiding from someone.
“Then would it not be too good for you to skip class like this?”
“Doesn’t matter, it’s not the first time anyway, as long as I don’t get caught live.”
Huo Chunyan is unimpressed, “Let’s not talk about this, talk about your refining.”
Xu Chunyan thought for a moment and roughly stated the thoughts in her mind.
Hearing that she wanted to raise the grade of the spirit weapon at hand, Huo Chunyan nodded with a face of recognition.
“That would save the need to break in with a new spirit weapon, like the one I’m using now, which is also the one I’ve been using previously.
It’s just that upgrading the grade of a spirit weapon is expensive, especially if you don’t even have the raw materials, and with all the costs iterated over and over, it’s not far off from buying a new spirit weapon.”
The two of them chatted while heading towards the Weaponry Peak, and after half an hour they successfully entered the Weaponry Peak’s range.
While on the road, Huo Chunyan had already sent messages to several senior brothers and sisters separately, and one senior sister happened to be available and was willing to help out with this favor as well.
On the way to this senior sister’s cave, Xu Chunyan hesitates and asks about the doubts in her heart.
“Among the spirit weapons I showed you just now, that green-colored cauldron is called the Green Stripe Cauldron, which was refined by Weaponry Peak’s Du Nanke, would it have an effect if someone else refined it?”
“Du Nanke’s reputation as a refiner is not false, but in fact, amongst the Weaponry Peak, there is a sea of people whose refining attainments are better than his, and this senior sister of mine is one such person.
Just now you said to me that the Green Stripe Tripod was a failure of Du Nanke’s refining before it was reduced to a Grade 1 Spiritual Artifact, and you’re asking someone to raise the grade of the failed product, isn’t that difficult for people?”
Xu Chuniang heard this and realized that it made sense, just like the strongest formations were only ever found in the Thousand Chance Peak, and the best pills were only found in the Dan Peak, the ones that could be passed on were not the best ones.
Huo Chunyan leads the way in front of her while carefully admonishing.
“This senior sister of mine is surnamed Gan, just follow me and call her Senior Sister Gan later. Senior Sister Gan is over a hundred years old and has already stepped into the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and her artifact refining attainments are one of the best amongst a group of senior brothers and sisters.”
Xu Chuniang nodded with a cautious expression, she herself made a move, whether or not she could invite this Senior Sister Gan is left aside, Huo Chunyan helped her with this favor, she remembered.
The two of them landed in front of a cave, Huo Chunyan took out a sound transmission note and said something.
Not long after, a woman wearing a goose-yellow dress with a cool and beautiful face walked out of the cave. Huo Chunyan hurriedly smiles and walks forward, “Senior Sister Gan, this is the friend I told you about. She wants to commission your help in refining and upgrading the grade of her spirit weapon.”
Senior Sister Gan swept Xu Chunyan a glance, “Show me the spirit weapon first.”
Xu Chuniang hurriedly handed over the spirit weapons she had prepared long ago, “Good day, Senior Sister Gan, it’s a total of these three spirit weapons.”
Senior Sister Gan swept over the Green Tattooed Cauldron, White Rod Gun, and Small Round Shield, letting out a light eep as she took the somewhat broken Small Round Shield.
“This spirit artifact was previously a grade two extreme spirit artifact, but it has suffered several heavy injuries, which caused it to fall in grade.”
Xu Chuniang was a bit surprised, when she got her hands on this small round shield, she knew that it had fallen in grade due to the damage, and originally thought that it was at most a second grade lower grade, but never thought that it was a second grade extreme grade.
The same level of spiritual weapons, between inferior and excellent, the difference is not a little half a point.
She looked at Senior Sister Gan with some fervor, “Then can it be restored to what it was before?”
Senior Sister Gan shook her head, “The damage is too severe, to completely restore it to its former grade is almost impossible.”
Xu Chuniang inwardly said that it was a pity, then she heard Senior Sister Gan’s words change.
“Although it is impossible to restore it to a Grade 2 Extreme Grade, it is not difficult to raise the grade to a Grade 2 Medium Grade.”
Grade two mid-grade was not bad, Xu Chunniang felt slightly comforted in her heart.
Senior Sister Gan put the small round shield away, her gaze falling onto the Green Stripe Cauldron, her eyes smirking.
“This refining technique reminds me of a senior brother.”
Huo Chunyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes and interject.
“Isn’t it from that Du Nanke ‘Master Du’? After luckily refining a Grade 2 Extreme Spiritual Artifact, he boasts every day that he’s a Weaponry Peak Genius Weaponry Refining Master, truly disgracing Weaponry Peak.”
A smile appeared in Senior Sister Gan’s eyes as she shook her head.
“Chun Yan, you shall not casually talk about others behind their backs. The practices of others have their own heavenly chakras to look after, just mind your own business.”
Huo Chunyan nods, “I know, I’m just talking casually.”
Only then did Xu Chunyan realize that this so-called master refiner’s popularity in Weaponry Peak was not considered much better.
It seems that there are things that are not what they seem.
Sister Gan ignored Huo Chunyan, and surrounded the Green Stripe Tripod, sweeping her divine sense back and forth several times before slowly opening her mouth.
“The materials of this Green Stripe Tripod aren’t bad, it’s just that that senior brother’s forging techniques are still a bit poor, and that’s why it didn’t become a second-grade Spiritual Artifact. Wanting to upgrade its grade, on the contrary, is the easiest. Just to what extent it can be upgraded, I can only say that I can do my best.”
Xu Chuniang cupped her fists and saluted, “I’m already grateful if Senior Sister Gan is willing to make a move, but please just let go of it, I’ll accept whatever the result is.”
Senior Sister Gan nodded with satisfaction, this one that Senior Sister Huo had brought over was an understanding person.
After storing away the Green Stripe Tripod, she finally looked at the White Rod Gun, lifting it up and weighing it for a few moments.
“This White Rod Gun is moderate, but there’s no weaknesses in the points out picks, it’s not as if the sect issued it to you, is it?”
