Chapter 255 Weapons
There is no moon tonight, only a few scattered stars are shining, which makes the pink hammer look even more dazzling and beautiful.
Tao Zi stared silently at the pink bow on it, unable to speak for a long time.
Cheng Wuchou smiled, his expression gentle and elegant. He said, "We were unable to contact Miss Tao when we were making the weapons, so we had to act on our own."
She reluctantly averted her gaze and asked, "You started doing it early?"
Cheng Wuchou explained gently: "Well, we received news about the elixir in advance, but we are not sure what kind of elixir it is."
She glanced at the hammer again, but couldn't help looking away: "Why this?"
"We think that physical cultivators should be accustomed to using hammers, and the pink color is taken into consideration of Miss Tao's gender." He said as a matter of course, "I don't think girls will dislike this color."
Tao Zi closed her eyes weakly, wanting to refuse, but the weapon cultivator standing beside her said, "This spiritual weapon is made of black crystal and weighs a thousand pounds. Just inject a small amount of spiritual energy into it and it can be transformed into any shape of blade at will."
The words of refusal reached her throat, but she swallowed them back down.
The weapon cultivator continued, "If it's a sword, it will be extremely sharp. The degree of sharpness depends on how well the girl controls her spiritual energy. The shape of the blade must be shaped by spiritual energy."
Cheng Wuchou explained thoughtfully: "It was made into a hammer to obscure other people's sight, so as not to attract others' covetousness."
Who would have thought that the black crystal, famous for its sharpness and toughness, would turn into a hammer?
Hearing this, Tao Zi was silent for a moment, then carefully examined the hammer and figured out something: "The inside is black crystal, but the outside is made of another material?"
"Yes." The weapon cultivator reminded, "Once spiritual energy is input, the true nature of the black crystal will be exposed, so you must be cautious."
Tao Zi understood what he meant and nodded to the two of them, thanking them: "This is a valuable item. Thank you very much."
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "No need, I'm also after that pill."
Tao Zi stepped forward and picked up the hammer, but suddenly felt something was wrong and said, "This doesn't weigh a thousand pounds."
The weapon cultivator pointed at the bow and said casually, "This bow is to prevent you from accidentally inputting spiritual energy and exposing the Xuanjing. If you untie the bow, it will be a thousand pounds, but it will greatly affect your movement."
Tao Zi was silent for a moment and tried to untie the knot. For a moment, her walking became a little slow.
At this time, the ribbon was still wrapped around the hammer. Upon closer inspection, the ribbon extended from the inside of the hammer.
She suddenly felt uneasy.
Qi Xiu smiled and said, "This ribbon is inseparable from the hammer, so I specially picked a beautiful pink color to match the hammer."
Tao Zi: "...Thank you."
Cheng Wuchou pointed to a basement and said, "Miss Tao can practice using weapons there in preparation for the competition."
She went downstairs and saw various training rooms inside - for practicing the accuracy of aura control, for practicing physical strength, for practicing speed... everything you could think of.
Cheng Wuchou followed her and said with a smile: "Yue Shan and others can also come over."
Tao Zi responded without hesitation: "Thank you, Senior Cheng."
“No need.”
She sent someone to inform Yueshan and the others, while she began to figure out how to use the hammer.
She tried to turn the hammer into a sword and then tie a bow on it - a pink sword would always be more discreet than a pink hammer, but it didn't work. As soon as the bow was tied on, the sword turned directly into a hammer.
What is even more frustrating is that once the sword leaves your hand, the input of spiritual energy will be interrupted.
The weapon cultivator watched from the side. She asked how to solve this flaw, and he said, "It can be solved by refining the Hammer of Life."
Tao Zi was silent for a moment. She could only have one natal weapon, and it was extremely difficult to replace it. This was just a spiritual weapon, so she needed to think about it.
Not long after, Yue Shan and the others came over. As the monk walked over, he asked, "You're back again... Daoist Fellow Tao?"
He looked in shock at Tao Zi, who was carrying a pink hammer tied with a pink bow.
She asked expressionlessly, "What's wrong?"
"without……"
Han Yueshan's laughter interrupted Hua Seng's words. That night, he happily received a gift package of comprehensive teaching from his senior sister.
A few days before the competition, Tao Zi relaxed his training and prepared to face the competition in the best condition.
Li Xiu was different. He read through ancient books and made all kinds of strange medicines. Xi Jing was also working hard to develop talismans. The competition allowed medical practitioners, instrument practitioners, talisman practitioners and other cultivators to use talismans and instruments that exceeded their realm. Others were prohibited from using certain instruments according to their own realm, except for their own natal instruments.
After all, there have been precedents of Foundation Establishment disciples from large sects carrying three or four spiritual weapons, dozens of formations, and hundreds of talismans to compete on stage.
There was a bustling atmosphere at the foot of Jianshan Mountain - the order of the competition would be announced today.
Tao Zi stood on the outskirts of the crowd, while Xi Jing prayed desperately, "Please don't run into the brothers, please don't!"
Under normal circumstances, disciples from the same sect would be intentionally separated to avoid infighting within the sect, but they are now independent cultivators.
A steady voice sounded, "Everyone, please listen carefully. In the first round, sects, independent cultivators, and physical cultivators will compete simultaneously. In the second round, only sects and independent cultivators will participate to determine the top three in their respective realms. In the third round, physical cultivators will also participate. As a reminder, the victory or loss of physical cultivators will not affect the ranking of Taoist and Buddhist cultivators."
Tao Zi stood there quietly listening, not surprised by this arrangement.
"The competition will begin at the Sword Sect competition arena in three days. The list of contestants for the first day has been announced."
A huge light curtain rose from the bottom of Jianshan Mountain. The characters were so large that even the embroiderer whose eyes were injured from embroidery every day could see them clearly.
The man's voice still echoed in everyone's ears: "Each realm is divided into ten groups. The group list is shown above. Winning a game will earn you one point, and losing a game will deduct one point. At the end of the competition, the top ten cultivators in each group will enter the second round of competition."
Tao Zi took a quick look and found that only Han Yueshan and Xi Jing were competing on the first day. Then she looked at the list and found that they were in different groups. It was really a blessing.
She heard someone wailing, "How can we compete? Xu Qianjia is in my group, and so is Jian Zong's second senior brother!"
"Stop howling, brother, aren't there just two of us?"
The person trying to comfort her took another look and laughed, then changed his words: "Oh, the senior sister of the Spring and Autumn Sect is also in your group. That's tragic, really tragic. At least three points will be deducted."
Similar complaints were heard at the bottom of the mountain, and some people took a quick look to make sure they had no competition on the first day and then left.
Han Yueshan noted down his and Xi Jing's opponents and said, "We have fewer independent cultivators, so the competition should be over soon. Senior Sister, you have even fewer physical cultivators, so it should be your turn soon."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Just wait patiently."
By the time they returned to Jiancheng, someone had already started a gambling game, and some noble families had taken out huge photo balls, ready to broadcast the battle scenes in real time. Some people even started selling news about cultivators, whether true or false.
Tao Zi glanced at the word "Cheng" on the photo ball and secretly clicked her tongue.
Jiancheng became completely lively.
