Chapter 641: Grade Three Spirit Weapon
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
Earlier, when he saw Duan Ling Tian execute an ability that was difficult to perceive with his own eyes, Zhang Shou Yong was already greatly shocked.
Now Duan Ling Tian’s words seemed as if he knew a grade four Weapons Craftsman, and it caused Zhang Shou Yong to be even more shocked.
He suddenly felt that the little fellow that he had to take care of a few years ago had already truly grown up into a man.
"Perhaps, it won’t be long before he’ll be able to surpass me… Wait! He might have already surpassed me now." Zhang Shou Yong sighed to himself.
In terms of age, he was almost ten years older than Duan Ling Tian, but his natural talent and ability was something he felt inferior to Duan Ling Tian.
Not mentioning anything else, just the ability Duan Ling Tian used to deal with his second brother was something that he was unable to discern what actually was going on from beginning to end.
If it wasn’t for him noticing the composure Duan Ling Tian possessed at the time and realized that it was an ability Duan Ling Tian executed, otherwise he would really be like the surrounding crowd of spectators and think that Zhong Shou Yuan himself went mad.
Grade four Weapons Craftsman?
Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but snicker when he heard Zhang Shou Yong.
He wasn’t a grade four Weapons Craftsman now, as his cultivation had broken through to the Void Initiation Stage now, and he had already condensed a grade three Weapon Flame. So long as he possessed sufficient materials, he was completely capable of refining a grade three spirit weapon.
But he didn’t reveal it for now. "Sort of."
"Sort of?" Zhang Shou Yong was slightly unable to understand what Duan Ling Tian meant.
But, he saw the strong confidence that was contained within Duan Ling Tian’s eyes now, and it was as if Duan Ling Tian was confident in returning a completely new grade four spirit weapon wine gourd to him.
For a time, his breathing became rapid.
"Brother Ling Tian, what materials do you need? I’ll go look for it right away." Zhang Shou Yong was slightly impatient.
He’d wanted to advance the wine gourd he carried by his side to the ranks of a grade four spirit weapon even in his dreams, and now that he’d seen hope, he naturally wouldn’t let it slip by.
Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled, and with a raise of his hand, he withdrew a paper and brush from his Spatial Ring.
Duan Ling Tian swung the brush to write down dense amounts of exquisite writing on the blank paper.
If a high grade Weapons Craftsman was here and saw the materials that Duan Ling Tian wrote now, they would surely be greatly shocked.
Because the pile of materials that Duan Ling Tian wrote out now were all the materials required to refine a grade three spirit weapon.
Some of these materials were even the core material used to refine a grade three spirit weapon.
But Zhang Shou Yong didn’t know all this.
As the saying goes, technical skills required specialization.
Although his natural talent in the Martial Dao was high, he knew nothing about the Dao of Weapons Refinement.
"Just these." In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian stopped writing and put away his brush.
Besides some materials required to advance Zhang Shou Yong’s spirit weapon wine gourd’s grade, the pile of materials he wrote down also contained the materials required to raise the grade of the grade four cauldron in his possession.
He believed that with the Zhang Clan’s ability, Zhang Shou Yong would very quickly be able to gather all these materials.
"I’ll go gather it right now." Zhang Shou Yong receive the paper from Duan Ling Tian and hurriedly stood up, and he was slightly impatient.
But before he left, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Duan Ling Tian as he said, "Brother Ling Tian, why don’t you stay in my Zhang Clan Estate for a few days? After I gather all these materials, you can take along my wine gourd and leave to look for that Weapons Craftsman?"
"Alright." Duan Ling Tian nodded and agreed.
As far as he was concerned, there was no great difference between staying in the Zhang Clan Estate or the Darkstone Empire’s estate in the Capital.
Moreover, Su Li was the only friend he had there, whereas Su Li had been elusive lately and they’d rarely met.
In Zhang Clan Estate, he was instead able to drink wine and chat with Zhang Shou Yong, and it was cozy.
"Qiong, return to the courtyard and prepare a guest room for Brother Ling Tian… I’ll go gather these weapons refinement materials." In next to no time, Zhang Shou Yong instructed Wang Qiong before leaving hurriedly.
The matter was related to the grade of his wine gourd spirit weapon and he didn’t dare dally.
"Brother Ling Tian, excuse him." Wang Qiong spoke with slight embarrassment as she looked at her husband that left hastily.
"There’s no harm done. I can understand Big Brother Zhang’s feelings." Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian returned to the courtyard that Wang Qiong and Zhang Shou Yong stayed at under the lead of Wang Qiong.
The courtyard was extremely spacious, and there were many empty rooms.
Wang Qiong called over two servant girls to tidy up a room for Duan Ling Tian before allowing Duan Ling Tian to put up in it.
"Feel free to ask if you need anything." After Duan Ling Tian went in, Wang Qiong lightly smiled.
"Alright." Duan Ling Tian replied. "Sorry for troubling you, sister-in-law."
"It’s not a problem." Wang Qiong shook her head before leaving the room. "Brother Ling Tian, rest well, I’ll be leaving first."
As Wang Qiong left, she closed the door on her way out.
Duan Ling Tian instead sat cross-legged on the bed and held the Wind Concept Fragment in his hand before withdrawing a mid grade Origin Stone and starting to cultivate.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Earth Dragon Form!
Duan Ling Tian’s entire mind and body was immersed in his cultivation, and he’d forgotten the time.
After completely consuming a mid grade Origin Stone, Duan Ling Tian withdrew another and continued cultivating.
Coupled with the assistance of the Wind Concept Fragment, his cultivation and Wind Concept advanced at an extremely swift speed…
During this period of time, Duan Ling Tian would occasionally feel hungry and leave his room to eat, whereas Wang Qiong would order for delicacies to be specially prepared for him every single time.
When one had cultivated to a level like Duan Ling Tian was at now, one was able to achieve inedia[1] to a certain extent, and one was able to only eat after quite a period of time without affecting the body in the slightest.
In his cultivation, Duan Ling Tian forgot the time.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Duan Ling Tian awoke from his cultivation.
"Another mid grade Origin Stone is gone?" As he looked at the stone that had lost the origin energy of the heaven and earth to seem dim and listless in his hand, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and casually tossed the stone aside.
Subsequently, another mid grade Origin Stone appeared in his hand.
Right when Duan Ling Tian intended to continue cultivating.
"Brother Ling Tian." Duan Ling Tian heard a wave of sound come from outside his door.
This voice wasn’t unfamiliar to Duan Ling Tian, and it was precisely the voice of Zhang Shou Yong. "Big Brother Zhang, you’ve returned?"
Duan Ling Tian left his bed and opened the room door.
"Big Brother Zhang." Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled to Zhang Shou Yong.
"Brother Ling Tian, I’ve found all the materials you want… Here." With a raise of his hand, Zhang Shou Yong passed over a Spatial Ring that had already had its ownership removed.
"So fast?" Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised.
"It has already been a month, is this still fast?" Zhang Shou Yong disapproved when he heard Duan Ling Tian.
After all, during this months, besides utilizing the relationships of the Zhang Clan to find that pile of materials, he himself had gone around to look for these materials.
This also caused him to have never returned during this month.
But Duan Ling Tian didn’t know all this.
"It has already been a month?" Duan Ling Tian came to a sudden understanding, and he never imagined that so many days had passed.
He’d always been immersed in his cultivation and felt that only around 10 days had passed since he came to look for Zhang Shou Yong that day…
After receiving the Spatial Ring in Zhang Shou Yong’s hand, Duan Ling Tian looked at the wine gourd before Zhang Shou Yong’s waist. "Big Brother Zhang, give your spirit weapon wine gourd to me."
"Alright." Zhang Shou Yong nodded hurriedly before removing the wine gourd and passing it to Duan Ling Tian.
"Brother Ling Tian." Meanwhile, Zhang Shou Yong hesitated for a moment before saying, "During the process of searching for these materials, I heard a grade five Weapons Craftsman say that amongst those materials, there’s a portion that are extremely high grade and even grade four spirit weapons are unable to use them."
"What? Big Brother Zhang, are you worried I’ll cheat you of your materials?" Duan Ling Tian laughed.
"Of course not!" Zhang Shou Yong hurriedly shook his head. "I didn’t mean it in that way… I was just curious. After all, that person was only a grade five Weapons Craftsman, and in terms of experience, he’s naturally unable to compare to the grade four Weapons Craftsman that you know." As he finished speaking, Zhang Shou Yong’s tone contained slight flattery.
After all, he still had to rely on that grade four Weapons Craftsman to help him advance the grade of his spirit weapon wine gourd.
"Haha… Big Brother Zhang, actually, that grade five Weapons Craftsman is right." Duan Ling Tian laughed.
"Huh?" Zhang Shou Yong was stunned.
"But, there’s something that you’ve gotten wrong… I asked for these materials from you not for the sake of asking that person to help you advance your spirit weapon wine gourd the ranks of a grade four spirit weapon." After Duan Ling Tian restrained the smile on his face, he spoke slowly.
"Not advancing to the ranks of a grade four spirit weapon?" Duan Ling Tian’s words caused Zhang Shou Yong to be unable to react to the meaning behind it for some time.
This time, Duan Ling Tian didn’t respond to Zhang Shou Yong and instead lightly smiled as he looked at the latter while waiting for Zhang Shou Yong to react.
In next to no time, Zhang Shou Yong recovered from his shock.
"Brother… Brother Ling Tian… You… That Weapons Craftsman you’re going to see wouldn’t be a grade three Weapons Craftsman, right?" Zhang Shou Yong’s breathing became rapid, and he even breathed heavily a she spoke.
"Exactly." Duan Ling Tian nodded. "The Weapons Craftsman I’m going to see is indeed a grade three Weapons Craftsman… Big Brother Zhang, when you see this spirit weapon wine gourd of yours next, it will have undergone a tremendous change."
As Duan Ling Tian spoke, he shook the wine gourd in his hand.
Tremendous change?
Zhang Shou Yong was excited to the point his chest rose and fell continuously and was unable to calm down for a long time.
He knew what Duan Ling Tian meant by this.
"I’m going to have a grade three spirit weapon?" At this moment, Zhang Shou Yong even felt like he was dreaming.
But he quickly realized that all this wasn’t a dream, and it was completely real.
"Big Brother Zhang, I’ll be leaving first… I’ll come look for you again in a month. At that time, I’ll bring back your wine gourd for you as well." With a raise of his hand, Duan Ling Tian put away Zhang Shou Yong’s wine gourd, and then he bid his farewells to Zhang Shou Yong before leaving the room with large strides. Zhang Shou Yong, who recovered from his shock, personally sent Duan Ling Tian to leave his own courtyard and leave the Zhang Clan Estate.
"Big Brother Zhang, just wait for my return." At the entrance to the Zhang Clan Estate, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled as he looked at Zhang Shou Yong who still had excitement mixed within his eyes before turning and leaving.
Zhang Shou Yong heaved out a breath of air after he saw Duan Ling Tian’s figure vanish before his eyes, and then he turned around and returned to the Zhang Clan Estate.
