Dao Equaling the Heavens-Chapter 67 - 59 Profound Heavy Spear

67: Chapter 59 Profound Heavy Spear

67 -59 Profound Heavy Spear

Murong Suyue noticed Gu Wen’s gaze, shyly smiled, and explained, “Qianlong Manor is famous for forging divine weapons; hence the need for body refinement.

It’s not my natural disposition.

I apologize if I’ve appeared unsightly to Fellow Daoist.”

Gu Wen snapped out of it and returned the bow, saying, “It was rude of me.

A thousand people have a thousand faces; appearances are trivial and not worth fussing over.”

Hee Huan stepped up to mediate, saying, “Brother Hongchen’s reaction is normal, given that Daoist Murong is indeed beautiful.”

This was indeed the reason Gu Wen was startled.

He was no stranger to beautiful faces; after seeing Yu Hua, he wouldn’t even react when visiting Qianfeng Tower.

His threshold was set too high, making him impervious to ordinary beauty.

Murong Suyue’s face was indeed beautiful, but not transcendently so.

However, paired with a body that started at two meters three, cast from bronze and iron, it was a different story.

This was more striking than any branch laden with heavy fruit.

With the atmosphere relaxed, Gu Wen got straight to the point: “I need a handy polearm, preferably a spear, that can be easily stored.”

Murong Suyue said, “For mortal weapons, one top-grade Dragon Tiger Pill.

For magic artifacts, at least five top-grade Dragon Tiger Pills to start.

Spiritual weapons are rare; even with the resources of Immortal Land, I’ve only forged three, the highest being middle-grade.”

According to the records in the Treasure of Magic Weapon that Yu Hua transmitted, items are divided into mortal, magical, and spiritual levels, each with three grades—low, middle, and top—making a total of nine grades.

Mortal weapons are not ordinary iron tools, but can be infused with mana to augment their power, typically used by cultivators just starting Qi cultivation.

Magic tools and spiritual treasures are far more powerful, distinguished only by whether they possess a spirit or not.

An item is ultimately just an item; the key lies in what it’s used for and who uses it.

Of course, every path has its pinnacle; the ultimate in items are Taoist soldiers, immortal artifacts, and supreme treasures.

These kinds of treasures cannot be described by grades, which is why there are no low, middle, or top grades for them.

“For polearms, ten mortal weapons, three magic artifacts, and one spiritual treasure.

Storing them requires at least a magic artifact, and the price will be 50% higher under the condition that the power remains unchanged.”

Murong Suyue reached toward the cloth bag at her waist, a flicker of spirit light passing, and pulled out several small items.

A silver bracelet, a Jade Pendant; then they transformed into a silver spear and a large halberd.

Gu Wen tried both, as Murong Suyue provided details about their effects and prices; the silver spear was a low-quality magic tool needing six top-grade Dragon Tiger Pills.

The large halberd was a top-grade magic tool needing one Condensing Dao Pill.

He was satisfied with both weapons but always sought something better when choosing goods.

Gu Wen asked, “Do you have any spiritual treasure polearms?”

“Yes,” Murong Suyue nodded, “but I think you might not be able to afford it.

It’s unlikely you’ll buy it because it’s made from Mysterious Heavy Iron.”

She then pulled a finger-length iron pestle from her waist bag, which, upon the infusion of mana, morphed into a pitch-black ‘Great Spear’.

The rough texture, the uneven surface of the spear shaft, and only the sharp spear tip made it seem like a weapon.

Gu Wen found it extremely heavy when he took it, probably weighing two hundred kilograms, nearly the weight of a grown man.

A weapon a kilogram heavy requires ten kilograms of strength to handle, and even with Gu Wen’s strength, it was somewhat burdensome.

“Too heavy.”

“This is Mysterious Heavy Iron.

I got it by chance; it could have been nurtured into a top-grade spiritual treasure in a sacred land.

However, due to the earth dragon turning over, the nurturing process was interrupted, turning it into a low-grade spiritual treasure instead.”

Murong Suyue looked regretful.

Seeing Gu Wen slightly interested, she instead discouraged him, “Mysterious Heavy Iron is extremely hard.

I can only polish it a bit; it’s more like a lump of iron than a spear, without any additional enhancements.”

Gu Wen picked up on a key point and asked, “Just by its hardness, it reaches the level of a spiritual treasure?”

“Mysterious Heavy Iron is excellent as a material for array foundations, but have you ever seen anyone fight with a city gate?”

“I’ll take it, how much?”

Hee Huan wanted to say something, but due to the rules, he had to withhold comment.

As a mediator, he had to stay silent; both parties to the transaction relied on their own skills, and being short-changed was their own oversight.

Seeing the other party so determined, Murong Suyue gave the Mysterious Heavy Spear a few more glances, perhaps there was something special about this spear.

But she wasn’t intending to raise the price; believing that her failure to see its value indicated it was not meant for her, she said,

“Two Condensing Dao Pills, but I’d like to make a friend, one will suffice.”

A genius with a martial dharma form, ranked fifth on the earth board and tenth on the people’s board, was worth her making the first move.

“It’s a deal.”

Gu Wen fluidly produced a Condensing Dao Pill, as such high-level pills were of minor use to him, originally regarded as mere currency.

With the Heavy Spear acquired, he still had two Condensing Dao Pills remaining, ten top-grade Dragon Tiger Pills, and five middle-grade Dragon Tiger Pills.

Gu Wen chose the Heavy Spear for a simple reason, not because he saw it as some hidden peerless weapon, but because it suited him.

The Flame Spear Skill greatly wore down weapons, and the ordinary spear used last time had been completely scrapped, so much so that it could be said by the end Gu Wen was the one keeping it from falling apart.

Its hardness was sufficient to withstand the dharma form of the Flame Spear Skill, and its weight, when swung, could cause tremendous destructive force.

Due to the Heavy Spear’s extremely weak spirit, Gu Wen circulated his mana a few breaths and quickly refined it, which was undoubtedly much more pleasing than the naturally rebellious Jade-eyed Water Wave Pearl.

Gu Wen put away the Heavy Spear and then said, “Fellow Daoist, do you still have extra bags on your waist?

I would like to exchange Condensing Dao Pills and Dragon Tiger Pills for them.”

“Do Brother Red Dust still have Condensing Dao Pills?”

Hee Huan, who had been silent up until now, suddenly spoke, secretly smacking his lips when he saw Gu Wen produce two Condensing Dao Pills.

He broke through to the Third Level without relying on a Condensing Dao Pill?

Murong Suyue, seeing the Condensing Dao Pills, her eyes slightly lit up, said, “I still have one Qiankun Bag, but since I need to store materials, the capacity might be a bit large.

If you wish to buy it, it’ll cost two Condensing Dao Pills, I wonder if you can accept that?”

Immortal Land suppresses all Daoist Skills, and Qiankun Bags that involve spatial artifacts are no exception.

Therefore, their Qiankun Bags are specially made, with the same capacity costing a hundred times more than in the outside world.

Ordinary people would not consider a large-capacity Qiankun Bag.

“That’s fine.”

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

Gu Wen didn’t mind using up all the Condensing Dao Pills at once, since he didn’t rely on taking pills to condense his Dao foundation.

Gu Wen also wasn’t worried about the other party offering a low price, as market prices were transparent, and the identity the other party contacted was a talent ranked fifth on the land list.

People always subconsciously overestimate a strong person, while ignoring that no one is perfect.

He played with the Qiankun Bag, as though he was handling a mobile phone for the first time in his previous life.

Upon probing with Divine Thought, he saw that inside was a space two cubic meters in size, roughly equivalent to a two-meter-long large fish tank.

Gu Wen withdrew his Divine Thought and turned to Hee Huan, saying, “If we had such a Qiankun Bag back then, we wouldn’t have missed out on taking so many things.”

Hee Huan pulled a wry smile and said, “Immortal Land has limitations; not everyone has a Qiankun Bag as large as Murong’s.

I do have one, but usually at most it holds some talismans and pills.

It’s a pity that there is an old eunuch from the Grand Treasury Department constantly shadowing us now, so there’s no way to shop there anymore.”

Gu Wen glanced in the direction of the Grand Treasury Department, and in three more days he would be able to completely use up his medicinal fruits, with his mana having already expanded more than twice from before.

‘By then, that old eunuch won’t be a match for me, but I need to first find out the schedule for the next batch of tributes.’

At that moment, Hee Huan suddenly said, “Have you heard about the ninth son of the Zhao family?

Because of the disturbance Brother Red Dust and I caused on Dragon Bridge, that guy was assassinated, and now he has been saved by the Lord Emperor.”

Gu Wen pretended to be detached, casually asking, “Why assassinate a wastrel who hasn’t even established his foundation?

Do you know who did it?”

“I don’t know, but there are many in the world who would want the Zhao family dead, countless sects are eagerly waiting both openly and secretly.” Hee Huan shook his head and said, “As for the reason, it’s very simple; Zhao Feng is currently the only living Prince.”

Only?!

Gu Wen’s eyes flickered slightly, recalling that aside from the Crown Prince’s death, the other princes had gone to their fiefdoms.

Could it be that they were all killed now? freewebnoveℓ.com

Although the annihilation of all the vassal kings seemed absurd, if the external Immortal Sects were involved, everything seemed quite reasonable.

Murong Suyue interjected, “I heard the Lord Emperor merged the dharma form into the royal Dragon Vein, so the major sects can’t shake him, and now Daqian is being dismantled by the Major Sect.”

“It’s bound to happen eventually.

Otherwise, why do you think the Lord Emperor has been so hastily collecting Spiritual Medicine these past few years?

Isn’t it to try to create the so-called Longevity Pill before being dismembered?

But this is not the point; that’s a matter for the True Monarchs.”

Hee Huan paused deliberately, pulling enough anticipation from the two.

“Zhao Feng took on a part of the national fortune to help the Lord Emperor withstand some of the backlash.

Thus, the Lord Emperor will not let him be disposed of; he’s likely to find an unfortunate soul to support Zhao Feng.”

A cool breeze wafted by, gently stirring Gu Wen’s hair under his hat, his pearl-black eyes undulating slightly.

Yet, it was just a slight ripple; the times had changed, and those with great power always managed to stay composed.

Gu Wen was soon to breakthrough a fulfilled Dao foundation, and currently, the Lord Emperor of Bianjing couldn’t leave the imperial palace, and the old eunuch couldn’t kill him.

Now, he could use his movement technique to hurdle over any city walls he encountered.
