169 A Treasure!
“Forty-three, huh…”
Qin Huai looked at the number, which meant that the people in front of him were basically all martial artists above the ninth refinement.
Among the young generation of the Nine Dragons sect, there were about forty people who had gone through the ninth refinement or higher.
As expected from a top sect. Experts were as common as clouds.
“You’re forty-three, so that’s three hundred and forty-three points in total.” Elder Erlong counted and then took out three bamboo sticks that were worth 100 points.
The rest were pieced together by some scattered bamboo sticks. Even so, there were still a lot of them that made the surrounding people envious.
Elder Erlong simply gave Qin Huai a bamboo bag for him to fill. These were the hardest currency in the Nine Dragons sect.
“Next month, your points will increase.” Elder Erlong was very serious, but he couldn’t hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
“Don’t be too proud,” he warned. “This is just qi and blood. The true place to compete in combat power is still the Azure Dragon Pass. The 43rd rank in qi, blood, and power can’t represent your true combat power, nor can it represent the true combat power of the others. Only the ranking of the Azure Dragon Pass is the true ranking of our sect’s geniuses.”
Qin Huai nodded to show that he understood. “Grandmaster, what is this Azure Dragon Pass?”
Elder Erlong sorted out his thoughts and said, “This Azure Dragon Pass is a powerful treasure that the Grandmaster of the Nine Dragons sect brought. Its body is as big as your house. And the barriers in the Azure Dragon Pass are the demons and enemies that the Azure Dragon Pass conjured.”
Around them, many young people were also listening attentively. They knew some things about the Azure Dragon Pass, but they still wanted to hear the legendary Elder Erlong tell them again. There might be something they didn’t know.
“A powerful treasure?” Qin Huai felt that it was a little mysterious. “What is this treasure? I’ve heard that the pearl in the White Dragon Forest seems to be a treasured weapon.”
He finally asked. Ever since he had arrived at the Nine Dragons sect, he had been wondering about this.
“All of you can come and listen. This old man will give you an explanation,” Elder Erlong ordered.
There was a whooshing sound, and a group of people rushed over to Qin Huai like dumplings. There were even many disciples who were in a stack, like a tower.
“In layman’s terms, bejeweled weapons are items that are forged by a craftsman using high-quality iron ores and then infused with energy. And this ‘force’ can be divided into two types.
“The first is the energy that the ore itself has. I’ve told you before, kings have power, living beings have power, and so do the mountains, rivers, grass, and trees.
“A good craftsman can bring out the original energy of all living beings, and even the ultimate sublimation is possible.
“So, an artifact that possesses force is no longer an ordinary artifact. Under the blacksmith’s hammer, they have a mysterious ability. Or rather, he displayed the abilities that it should have.”
“Oh~”
Everyone suddenly understood, letting out a clear sound in front of Elder Erlong.
“The second type is much simpler. You just have to infuse the force of a bone pattern realm expert into it. Although this is easy to understand, it is very difficult to implement because there are very few people who meet the conditions.
“First of all, he must be a craftsman who can forge treasured weapons. Second, the craftsman must also be a bone pattern realm expert. Only by fulfilling these two conditions can he inject other people’s force into the object,” Elder Erlong pouted.
Li Buhu immediately brought a bowl of water from somewhere, but he stopped in front of Elder Erlong and then turned his head.
Qin Huai raised his eyes to look at this ‘love rival’ who had been so aggressive just a moment ago. At this moment, there were only four words in his heart.
He had a whole new level of respect. He took the water and handed it to Elder Erlong. “Have some water, Grandmaster.”
“Yes.” Elder Erlong nodded. “That’s why treasured weapons are hard to come by. They’re even rarer than experts in the bone pattern realm.
“The price of any one of these treasured weapons is enough to sell for a sky-high price, and a good treasured weapon can also allow ordinary martial artists to kill people who are above their cultivation level.
“After all, having power means having powerful battle strength. In short, force has many uses. There are even some high-grade medicinal pills that have force… However, these are not areas that you can come into contact with now,” Elder Erlong said meaningfully.
Qin Huai was calm, but he was thinking about the force he controlled. It was very blurry, and there was no shape or direction.
‘It turns out that I haven’t even reached the basic level of force. All I’ve obtained is a little chance to spy on this world in the future.’
Qin Huai’s original understanding of force was only to attack. Now, it seemed that he had made a big mistake. The martial Dao in this world was far more exciting than he had imagined.
A treasured weapon that had power could actually create enemies as a form of trial. It was so dreamy.
As for Qin Huai, he was thinking about his ‘memories’ of blacksmithing, but he didn’t touch on the forging of treasured weapons. It seemed that forging such weapons was beyond the advanced level, so he needed to go higher.
Elder Erlong continued, “However, the use of this treasured weapon also consumes a lot of resources. After each use, you will need to use precious treasured medicine and secret recipes to recuperate. Although my Nine Dragons sect’s treasured weapon, the Azure Dragon Pass, is strong and special, the consumption of resources each time is not particularly high. However, each person only has one chance to enter each month.”
