Chapter 1389: Repairing the Weapon
Li Qingshan shivered and suddenly gazed in the direction of the Dragon’s Pool dwelling. He furrowed his brows and thought, Don’t tell me something has actually happened? Surely we’re not this unfortunate!
He felt an urge to draw back the Heaven Climbing Vine, but he held back in the end. He was still not cruel enough to disregard the lives of millions over this slight sense of danger. Otherwise, it would have been completely impossible for him to practise the Qilin’s Conventions of Longevity.
He was busy with his thoughts and failed to notice the eyes of the black rabbit in his eyes were growing redder and redder. Its almost non-existent aura became even more withdrawn, like a great big swirl. A terrifying eruption would follow once it withdrew to the limit.
“Heh, my rabbit sure has a terrifying temper, especially after drinking. Looks like I don’t have to do anything.”
In a certain place within Myriad city, blood and fire flashed through the eyes of a certain first senior sister. She whispered, “Oi, rabbit, you better not destroy the city too much, or I’ll have to deduct it from your drinking money!”
Li Qingshan shook his head. What was lost was already lost. There was no point in fuming over a rabbit. That would only make him seem petty.
“Look at you, you don’t even have any meat on you. You won’t even amount to a bite. Since I invited you to a drink, I can only call that my bad luck. You should go!”
As soon as he tossed the black rabbit on the ground, it leapt back with a swish, crouching rudely on his head. The redness in its eyes faded slightly.
“Heh, you sure know how to take advantage of things. Get down here!”
Li Qingshan reached out for it. The black rabbit leapt around on his head, making him miss every single time before landing firmly on his head.
“Hmm? You really are a spiritual beast after all!”
Li Qingshan was surprised. He had not gotten serious, but it could actually dodge his hands, which was very impressive in general. He developed some admiration.
“So be it, so be it. We’ve drunk from the same gourd, so we’re technically drinking buddies. If you stay in Myriad city and get captured by the Spiritual Beast garden again, you’ll end up as a mount for someone. Hmph, what shitty love? Letting the beasts run free without any tethers is what you call great liberty and great joy. Even if you are hunted down and eaten, that’s still a life worth living. Since you want freedom and liberty, then I’ll do my job as a good person all the way and take you away from here!”
When he reached out again, sure enough, it stopped jumping around, letting him grab it. It blinked its red eyes, which had recovered their original hue.
He placed it in his large, wide sleeve and strode off. Little did he know that he had been in extremely great danger just then. Facing a Daemon Sovereign black-furred heaven-gazing hou was no easier than facing a golden-eyed black dragon.
The woman refused to accept this. “Hmph, what kind of temper is that? When I touch your ears, you throw a horrible tantrum, yet you’ve been bought over just by being referred to as a drinking buddy?” She took out a red gourd that was more than ten times the size of Li Qingshan’s metal gourd and drank away heartily. She exhaled in satisfaction and wiped her mouth. “Though, it does seem a little inappropriate to turn your drinking buddy into a dish!”
Soon after Li Qingshan had left, Shen Yushu slowly emerged from behind the tree. He sneered. “Sure enough, you’re audacious. How dare you steal a spiritual beast from the Spiritual Beast garden. You’ve only just joined the sect, and you’ve revealed your true colours as a thief. Senior sister Ruan has gotta be blind to use someone like you.”
He circulated the Heavenly Tome of Nature, and his aura blended into the surroundings. From afar, he saw Li Qingshan arrive before the Spiritual Treasure workshop. As he vanished inside, he already realised what he was doing. He was claiming the various benefits that came with being a formal disciple.
He went to the Spiritual Beast garden for a mount first before going to the Spiritual Treasure workshop for an arcane treasure. The Department of Heavenly Dwellings must be next!
He immediately came up with a plan. Even without taking action personally, he could make Li Qingshan suffer. Coupled with the fact that he had stolen a spiritual beast from the Spiritual Beast garden, he could forget about remaining in the Hundred Herbs garden. Even Ruan Yaozhu would have nothing to say.
Li Qingshan arrived in the Spiritual Treasure workshop, but it was not just to claim his benefits.
Like before, he looked through everything first. The Spiritual Treasure workshop was like a museum. Various kinds of arcane treasures and weapons were exhibited in display cases, and the signs beside them offered a simple introduction.
There were plenty of powerful arcane treasures among them, but the benefits he could claim as a formal disciple were only on the same level or worse than regular arcane treasures from the nine provinces. However, they were free anyway, so it was not like he could be picky. Even with the stronger arcane treasures, he did not really care about that. As a practitioner of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, he never really relied on external objects, so he directly converted them into bookmarks and pocketed them.
“Can you repair weapons?”
The attendant smiled. “Of course. May I ask what weapon you would like repaired, senior brother?”
Li Qingshan casually drew the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End, and a sharp aura filled the hall, making the attendant’s hairs stand on end. However, he took a step closer as his eyes shone brightly like he had just seen something wonderful.
“It’s actually an asura armament! Hmm? Don’t tell me there’s a weapon spirit as well?”
The blade was covered in cracks, but that only gave off a violent aura like it had gone through countless battles.
It immediately drew over everyone’s gazes in the surroundings. Asura armaments did not come with as many functions as human arcane treasures, but they had always been renowned for their toughness and sharpness. Just how intense of a battle had he gone through for it to become so damaged?
Li Qingshan asked with concern, “Can you repair it?”
“Don’t tell me that is the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End?”
A square-faced male cultivator with flaring ears and a booming voice strode over. The badge on his chest indicated that he was an inner disciple.
Li Qingshan said, “It is. How did you know that, senior brother?”
“I can basically recite all the weapons in the Armoury of War and Chaos of the Asura realm backwards. I knew the answer already, but I still had to ask. Is it for sale?”
“It’s not for sale.” Li Qingshan shook his head.
“Sure enough. Kid, you’re just a Soul Nascence cultivator, yet you can actually obtain the recognition of an asura armament spirit. That’s not an easy feat. With how damaged it is, we’ll definitely need an Asura Altar of Armaments to repair it. It won’t be cheap.”
“How many bookmarks?”
“I’ll make it a round number. Eight Green Jade bookmarks.”
Li Qingshan said without hesitation, “I’ll repair it!”
Sure enough, the Asura Altar of Armaments were wondrous. Li Qingshan only waited for half a day before receiving a brand-new Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End.
The blade thrummed. The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower said, “Kid, you’ve finally entered the six realms of saṃsāra. You didn’t actually go to the Asura realm. How disappointing of you!”
“I’ll definitely go in the future!”
“Talk is just talk. You better just stick to your word! Also… thanks.”
Li Qingshan smiled. “You’re welcome.”
A certain first senior sister smiled. “Interesting. He’s been recognised by an asura armament spirit. No wonder Shen Yushu isn’t his opponent. With just that blade in hand, he can probably challenge most inner disciples!”
She touched her waist. A similar huge, blood-red blade hung there. She was extremely certain that anyone who could earn the recognition of an asura armament spirit could never be useless.
“Then why does he remain in the Hundred Herbs garden? With such a powerful weapon, isn’t it better for him to go out, adventure around, and fight? Don’t tell me he’s actually after my Bamboo? Alright then, for the sake of the asura armament spirit, that’s another reason why I shouldn’t eliminate you. I just need another nine hundred and ninety eight more!”
At the same time, the Dragon’s Pool dwelling had already transformed into a sea of lightning. The violet tribulation lightning illuminated the surroundings.
