Chapter 244 - 244 241 Divine Weapon Pavilion
Chapter 244: Chapter 241 Divine Weapon Pavilion Chapter 244: Chapter 241 Divine Weapon Pavilion Qin Feng and Liu Wuxiang agreed to support each other during the expedition against the Otherworld, and then they started discussing this expedition, talking about the cultivators from various sects that had formed alliances outside the Mountain Gate.
“Since I plan to go to the Market to buy a suitable Divine Weapon, why doesn’t Junior Brother Liu come along with me?
We could see what the disciples from various sects look like as well.”
Qin Feng said with a smile, “We’ve only been cultivating for a few years, and to speak the truth, we haven’t seen many cultivators from other sects.”
“That sounds good.”
Liu Wuxiang nodded, “I had heard that millions of cultivators had gathered outside the Mountain Gate, but recently I was so tormented by the poison that I wished for death and had no energy to witness such a grand sight.
Now that I’ve just managed to make some progress in the Bone-Eroding Soul-Destroying Heavenly Evil Technique, I finally have some spare time.
Why not accompany Senior Brother to see the grandeur of millions of cultivators gathered together?”
Right away, the two of them got up one after the other and walked out of the bamboo hut.
Releasing their Riding Tools, they soared into the air and flew away from Heavenly Snake Ridge toward the Mountain Gate.
Along the way, they frequently saw many disciples appearing in various places, commanding countless large and small Spiritual Beasts that ran back and forth, coordinating with each other, gradually forming small teams.
…
Once they reached the Outer Sect, the sounds of fighting and killing reverberated through the heavens.
A large number of Outer Disciples, whether in the Qi Refining Realm or those with Foundation Establishment Cultivation, were all practicing large War Formations under the guidance of Elder Peak leaders.
Although many disciples in the sect would still stay behind to guard the Mountain Gate and tend to various daily affairs, some of these disciples would also regularly participate in the training of War Formations.
Even if they did not join the sect’s expedition, guarding the Mountain Gate was equally important.
Should they be attacked by rival sects, their tasks would become extremely arduous.
Therefore, while training the disciples in coordinated combat, the sect would also involve these disciples in the drills.
Even if this caused delays in many of the sect’s affairs, and various Spiritual Resources would definitely suffer losses, at such a critical moment, there was no room for consideration of that.
Now, everything was premised on ensuring the success of the expedition and primarily on defending the Mountain Gate.
As long as the Mountain Gate remained and the expedition was victorious, the resources acquired would far exceed the current losses.
For the sake of a long-term strategy, the sect did not pay too close attention to the current minor losses.
Qin Feng and Liu Wuxiang flew from the Inner Sect all the way through the Outer Sect, and everything they saw along the way made their hearts surge with emotion.
Such a powerful sect, with so many disciples and such a majestic momentum, truly stirred the hearts of the youth.
And when they flew out of the Mountain Gate on their Spiritual Birds and came outside, they were even more shocked.
Outside the Mountain Gate, around the cities of twelve markets, lay densely packed encampments of multiple sects’ cultivators.
Among the various sects, some wealthy ones directly summoned palaces outside the markets; some rode on Tower Ships, others raised tall towers, and Qin Feng and they even saw several castles.
However, the most grandiose displays belonged to the Five Poisons Sect and the Ghost Controlling Sect.
Both were Major Sects that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Beast Taming Sect, not only because each sect had a Golden Immortal Ancestor sitting in power, but also because their forces were extremely vast.
What was even more striking was the nature of these two sects’ encampments.
One was teeming with Poison Insects everywhere, the other rampant with ghosts.
Even the Flying Escape Treasures that carried their disciples were of all kinds of bizarre shapes, either with various strange Poison Insects patterns or directly refined from a variety of human and animal bones, dark and terrifying, with an atmosphere that shocked the soul.
Black mists overshadowed the skies, faintly carrying the sounds of ghosts howling and wolves crying, spreading in all directions.
On the grand land outside the Mountain Gate, countless Magical Treasures were scattered about, some for living in, others for traveling.
Among them, various types of large Flying Escape Treasures were dominant.
After all, the main purpose of this journey was for the battle in the Otherworld, so the presence of large Flying Escape Treasures was inevitable.
Any sect that came to join without preparing large Flying Escape Treasures would simply not be qualified to follow behind the Beast Taming Sect and pick up the leftovers.
Above the various structures, countless cultivators were coming and going; some were practicing War Formations, while others flew around in chaos, making connections with Daoist Fellows from other sects.
Once they reached the Otherworld, knowing a few additional people might play a key role at critical moments.
Perhaps even a casual piece of information could bring them more benefits or avoid greater losses.
Therefore, many Elders and disciples with broad connections were leveraging their best skills, making as many friends as possible.
On the peripheries of each sect’s territory, one could often see some cultivators standing there, pointing and discussing.
These were cultivators who had come from other places.
They didn’t belong to the affiliated forces of the Beast Taming Sect, nor were they allies of the Beast Taming Sect; they had simply heard of the Beast Taming Sect’s affairs and came to have a look.
Still, many of them had envious expressions on their faces.
Many cultivators were not afraid of battle and slaughter; otherwise, the Cultivation World wouldn’t be so chaotic, nor would there be an endless stream of Bandit Cultivators.
The real reason was the lack of resources, which forced many cultivators to take other paths, using all possible means to seek more Cultivation Resources for themselves, hoping to achieve higher Realms and longer Lifespans.
Therefore, many cultivators of humble origins envied those who could join the Beast Taming Sect’s expedition against the Otherworld.
They believed that once these cultivators went to the Otherworld, they could openly plunder the cultivation resources there.
Many ambitious cultivators also wanted to partake in the venture, hoping to follow the Beast Taming Sect and divide up the resources of the Otherworld.
Unfortunately, when they asked the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect, all of them were rejected without exception.
The mighty Beast Taming Sect of the Southern Domain, as one of the grand sects, had not yet fallen to the extent that they needed a bunch of bandit cultivators to help in battle.
The countless flying escape treasures and silhouettes of cultivators covering the sky outside the market were enough to awe and shake the soul.
However, upon entering the market, the bustle was simply astonishing.
At that time, the market was teeming with people.
Countless cultivators dressed in various strange garments weaved through the streets, occasionally entering shops on both sides of the road.
During this period, the smiles on the faces of all the shop owners never faded.
They were open for business twelve hours a day, every day, without ever closing their doors.
After all, so many cultivators had gathered all at once, especially those preparing to fight in the Otherworld.
Their demand for spiritual objects was terrifying.
As a result, every shop was making a fortune.
Especially those shops selling spiritual elixirs, divine weapons, and magical treasures.
Treasures of every level were being sold out as if they were being snatched up.
Even prized possessions that had been tucked away for many years were being sold one after another during this period.
Although the market would inevitably experience a downturn once the expedition army departed, it didn’t matter.
As long as the Beast Taming Sect could win this battle, the market outside the Beast Taming Sect’s mountain gate would definitely become one of the busiest in the Southern Domain.
By then, even more cultivators would come to this place, whether it was to purchase rare spiritual objects from the Otherworld or to use the Beast Taming Sect as a gateway for an excursion into the Otherworld.
They would leave behind a great deal of spirit stones.
And at the right time, the Beast Taming Sect would surely be willing to open up the Otherworld for all cultivators to travel to, but those who wished to use the sect’s teleportation array would need to leave enough spirit stones behind.
Otherwise, the sect would not allow them to pass for nothing.
Qin Feng and Liu Wuxiang walked amidst the endless stream of cultivators, feeling exhausted in addition to marveling at the sheer number of cultivators.
The journey that would normally be an easy stroll now took them five times as long as usual to traverse, which made them feel sincerely weary.
What frightened them even more was that many items in the market had already doubled or tripled in price and were still facing a supply shortage.
Qin Feng and Liu Wuxiang both had sour expressions on their faces as they walked out of a shop selling spiritual artifacts.
“These greedy bastards.”
Liu Wuxiang cursed in a low voice, “Have they gone mad, asking for twenty thousand spirit stones for a mere top-level spiritual artifact?
With that many spirit stones, one could buy a magical treasure!”
“These guys are just taking this opportunity to make more spirit stones.
If there wasn’t such a high demand from the cultivators here, they wouldn’t dare to charge such exorbitant prices,” Qin Feng sighed lightly, “You’ve seen it too, there are simply too many cultivators about to go on the expedition.
Many prefer to spend their spirit stones now to equip themselves rather than keeping them.
Otherwise, it would be extremely frustrating to be killed in the Otherworld due to poor preparation.”
Although Qin Feng disapproved of the traders’ sky-high prices, he understood it was the nature of many businesspeople.
These people, seeing a chance, did not care about the timing.
As long as it could bring them more profit, there was nothing they wouldn’t sell.
This was still with the understanding that the Beast Taming Sect had decreed a halt to price increases; otherwise, these traders would certainly have raised their prices to death.
As they passed some stalls, they had heard about someone daring to sell an ordinary spirit talisman for thousands of spirit stones in recent days.
Although those unfortunate traders were quickly dealt with by the Beast Taming Sect’s enforcement team for their outrageous pricing, many traders still pushed their prices to the maximum limit set by the sect, causing many cultivators preparing for the big battle to grit their teeth in hatred towards them.
“Let’s go, let’s check out the Divine Weapon Pavilion.”
Qin Feng pointed to the Divine Weapon Pavilion not far away and said, “The divine weapons in the previous few shops were both expensive and unsatisfactory.
It seems we can only go to the Divine Weapon Pavilion and see if there’s a suitable divine weapon for me.”
Liu Wuxiang nodded, “I’ve long heard of the Divine Weapon Family’s reputation, but I’ve never really come to the Divine Weapon Pavilion before due to a lack of funds.”
“The Divine Weapon Pavilion is owned by the Divine Weapon Family.
Although the Divine Weapon Family does refine various magical treasures and spiritual treasures, and even immortal artifacts are not uncommon, their strongest skill still lies in refining divine weapons.”
Qin Feng smiled, “Given that this clan is named after divine weapons, it clearly shows their high level of achievement in forging divine weapons.”
“Let’s go and take a look.
I just hope their prices are not as outrageous as the others and that they’ve not tarnished the Divine Weapon Pavilion’s reputation.”
“We’re all in business, they won’t maintain their original prices at this time.”
Qin Feng clearly harbored no hope, “Those with qualifications in the Divine Weapon Family focus on forging divine weapons, while those with less talent handle the family’s livelihood.
These people will not care too much about reputation; they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to bring in a large amount of divine weapons and magical treasures from the Divine Weapon Family and sell them at high prices to earn a substantial amount of spirit stones.”
