Chapter 198: Dharma Spirit Weapon?

The Ziyun grand banquet was a huge event for everyone from across the Ziyun planet and was definitely not something to be missed. Many of the people who had come had even arrived early in the city for the event. In the waiting time before the banquet began, the free market of Xuanyan City became where everybody spent their time.

Some people possessed special treasures and would be able to take this opportunity to fetch a high price for the treasure from buyers from all over the Ziyun planet.

“Brother, is this nice?”

“Brother, I want this.”

“Brother, does this look good too?”

…

In the free market in Xuanyan City, a small girl who looked just eight or nine years old threaded through the maze of stalls. As long as something caught her eye, the young man in white behind her would buy it all for her without a second thought. This scene made many people shake their head in disapproval, thinking that this brother was irresponsible and would spoil his sister rotten. As for the stall owners, they wished that the little girl would take a fancy to something from their stall.

Along the way, the young man was spending so lavishly that he had attracted the attention of many people who had their eyes on his wealth. But nobody dared to do anything, because there were guards from Xuanyin Sect maintaining order in the city. Unless they headed out of the city, they would be powerless to do anything no matter how much they envied the young man’s wealth.

“Hi! Old man, this broken dagger looks like an antique, and is quite intricate… how much is it?” A voice rang out in the distance, stopping Yun Lu in her tracks out of curiosity. Zhou Donghuang standing behind her also stopped and looked in the direction that Yun Lu was staring at.

With just a glance, he saw an old man in a grey robe sitting cross-legged behind a stall, with a broken dagger placed horizontally at his stall. The dagger was only one-foot-long, but although its scabbard was intact, the blade was broken. The broken dagger was not rusty, but it looked extremely ancient, and on closer inspection, there were many fine carvings on its surface.

“A hundred spirit stones.” The old man was originally resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard someone asking about his dagger, he suddenly opened both his eyes and glanced at the man in front of his stall.

What he said not only shocked the man, but even the group of people who had been observing the commotion were all shocked.

A hundred spirit stones?

Even the late Primal Core adepts of the five main sects did not earn that amount in a year.

“This old man must be insane?”

“This broken dagger, selling for a hundred spirit stones?”

“He’s gone crazy for spirit stones!”

…

Before the man could respond, many people had crowded around as they reprimanded the old man.

“Hmph!” Faced with all the criticism, the old man’s eyes turned stone cold as a faint white glow suddenly radiated from his body and lifted him into the air. He floated cross-legged in mid-air.

Seeing this, the crowd which had been criticizing him immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to make another noise.

My goodness! This old man was a Primal Core adept?

The man standing in front of the stall, who had been about to make a snide remark, turned quiet as his expression changed upon seeing the old man demonstrate his ability as a Primal Core adept.

Whoosh!

As everyone watched on, the old man lifted his hand, and inner Yuan shot out of it and lifted the broken dagger into the air, as it floated in the air beside him.

“This broken dagger was an unexpected find for me. It can withstand Samadhi fire of the third level.” As the man spoke, his inner Yuan transformed into Samadhi fire that encircled the broken dagger. As time passed, the broken dagger not only showed no signs of melting, but even maintained its original dark green color, as if it had not been burnt at all.

“Not only is it able to withstand Samadhi fire, but even if I use Samadhi fire of the third level to burn it for three days and nights, its blade and scabbard would still be cold to the touch, as if it was not affected by the heat at all,” continued the old man.

As he spoke, the old man closed its eyes once again and kept the Samadhi fire that had been produced by his inner Yuan. His body slowly lowered itself to the ground. The broken dagger also returned to its original spot on the stall.

“Withstand Samadhi fire of the third level?” Even if it was a spirit weapon, it would be melted by Samadhi fire! What exactly was this broken dagger?

“The spirit weapons used by Primal Core adepts are all Primal Core spirit weapons… but even ultimate Primal Core spirit weapons will be melted by the Samadhi fire of an early Primal Core adept. This broken dagger, could it be a Dharma spirit weapon?”

“Dharma spirit weapon?”

“Dharma spirit weapons are used by Dharma adepts, and only the Samadhi fire of the fourth level of a Dharma adept will be able to melt it.”

…

The crowd consisted of people from all over the planet who all had much knowledge about martial arts. They seemed to suspect that this was a Dharma spirit weapon.Visit web novel. live If You like manga , comics

“If it really is a Dharma spirit weapon, even if it not fully intact, a hundred spirit stones would not expensive.”

“Indeed.”

Although many of them suspected that it was a Dharma spirit weapon, which would be a steal for just a hundred spirit stones, but none of them stepped forward to buy the broken dagger. The first reason was that most of them did not have a hundred spirit stones to spare. Secondly, it was all a hypothesis if the dagger was actually a Dharma spirit weapon or not, so even if they could afford that many spirit stones, they would not have the guts to actually buy the dagger.

“I want this dagger.” Just as more people started to crowd around, a young man in white appeared in front of the stall and attracted the attention of everybody present.

The old man opened his eyes again and looked at Zhou Donghuang as he said flatly, “One hundred spirit stones.”

Zhou Donghuang did not say a word. In front of the crowd, he simply retrieved a hundred spirit stones from his space ring and sent it with a wave of his hand to the old man. The milky white inner Yuan that appeared not only shocked everyone’s eyes but also… their hearts.

Just now, seeing this young man who looked not more than twenty years of age step forward and claim to want to buy the broken dagger, the crowd had thought that he was just kidding.

A hundred spirit stones, how could this man produce that?

However, when he really did take out a hundred spirit stones and send it to the old man using his milky white inner Yuan, their doubts were all shattered.

“A mid Primal Core adept?”

“Gosh! If he really is the age that he looks… his level of talent is simply unnatural!”

…

As the crowd watched on, the old man hesitated for a moment before he regained his senses and took the hundred spirit stones and collected them.

“Thank you, sir.” The old man stood up and bowed to the young man.

In Ziyun planet, where strength was power, even though the young man looked no more than twenty years old, the level of skill that he demonstrated was sufficient to make this old early Primal Core adept bow in respect.

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded slightly. With a flick of his hands, his inner Yuan circled around the broken dagger and brought it to his hands and sent it straight into his space ring.

The broken dagger was a Dharma spirit weapon, just as the rest had guessed. But it was not just any Dharma spirit weapon. It was an ultimate Dharma spirit weapon. Even if the spell that had been cast on it was somewhat imperfect, based on Zhou Donghuang’s analysis, it would still be able to display the power of a mid-quality Dharma spirit weapon.

“Once I enter the Dharma stage and use my Samadhi fire of the fourth level to forge it once again, and recast the spell… it will once again be able to display the power of an ultimate spirit weapon!” said Zhou Donghuang to himself.

As the crowd watched on quietly, the young man in white walked away slowly into the distance, the little girl beside him jumping alongside him.

Watching them leave, many of those present were still filled with shock.

“He… he… is a Primal Core adept?”

“Gosh! He looked like he was spending so carelessly on things for the little girl, I even got greedy. If not for the guards from the Xuanyin Sect here, I would have robbed him right there and then.”

“Me too. Now that we think about it, we almost lost our lives there.”

…

Zhu Liancheng was a disciple of Xuanyin Sect and an early Primal Core adept. But because he was not even fifty years old, his treatment in the sect was no less than any elder. Most importantly, his teacher was the second elder of Xuanyin Sect, a late Primal Core adept. His senior teacher was one of the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect.

Hence, in the Xuanyin Sect, Zhu Liancheng was considered as one of those in the sect whom the elders, no matter if they were middle or late Primal Core, did not dare to offend.

“Dharma spirit weapon? Mid Primal Core adept?”

Zhu Liancheng had seen everything that had just unfolded. His eyes flashed excitedly as he followed the young man in white quietly.

Although he thought that he was being stealthy, he had been discovered by Zhou Donghuang long ago. But Zhou Donghuang paid no attention to him because he was lazy, but also because he could not be bothered.

It was only after he personally witnessed the young man bring the girl back to the guest inn did Zhu Liancheng finally stop and turn to leave Xuanyan City for the Xuanyin Sect base camp.

“Senior, I saw a young man spend a hundred spirit stones to buy a suspected Dharma spirit weapon at Xuanyan City market just now.” Upon returning to the Xuanyin Sect, Zhu Liancheng looked for his senior, Li Pingzhi, the second elder of Xuanyin Sect.

“Dharma spirit weapon?” Li Pingzhi was dressed in a loose black robe. He was aged, his face covered with wrinkles and emanated a ghostly aura. However, upon hearing Zhu Liancheng’s words, his eyes lit up as he asked, “Are you sure it was a Dharma spirit weapon?”

“I’m not sure,” replied Zhu Liancheng as he shook his head. “But the man selling the broken dagger was an early Primal Core adept. And the man buying it was a mid Primal Core adept. And… the mid Primal Core adept looked at most twenty years old. His appearance must be young for his true age, so he must have maintained his appearance well to be able to look so young despite his age.”
