Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

“Why would I go?”


“This prince from the imperial family of the Dragon province cannot be compared with Jiang Fu. You should consider it!” Gu Yanying finished speaking and flew down.

Li Qingshan considered it for a moment before flying down too. “I might as well then.”

No matter who became the Marquis of Ruyi, he would definitely be the greatest thorn in their backside. Knowing thyself and knowing thy enemy makes you undefeatable in battle.





Chapter 590: Five Arcane Artifacts | Legend of the Great Sage




The two of them arrived before a building that stood over a hundred meters tall. Li Qingshan raised his head and followed the building up, only to see it shaped like a sword, pointing straight at the sky. A silvery-blue light flowed through the entire building, displaying three large words, the Arsenal of Arms.

Gu Yanying walked in, and Li Qingshan followed closely behind. As soon as he stepped through the door, before he could even look around, an attendant received them. The attendant was surprised at first when he first saw Gu Yanying before showing respect.

“Ma’am, you’ve come to check on us!”

Loud greetings immediately rang out from all the floors. Almost a hundred cultivators made their way down, all saying, “Greetings from your subordinates, ma’am!”

Originally, Li Qingshan thought this was because of Gu Yanying’s identity as the White Hawk commander, but he noticed something was amiss as soon as he heard how they referred to themselves. They were not Hawkwolf guards, so why did they call themselves “subordinates”? And, this did not seem like they were receiving an esteemed guest.

Gu Yanying relieved him of his confusion. “Don’t you know that the Arsenal of Arms is my business? If you want any arcane artifact, pick away. There’s nowhere in the Ruyi commandery with more arcane artifacts than here.”

“You really do know how to make money, and you sure are extravagant.”

Li Qingshan could not help but remember how Hua Chengzan would always call her “boss Gu” whenever he mentioned her. Now, he finally understood the reason why.

“You can all go back to what you’re doing. Old Wu, take commander Li to the storeroom above for a look!”

Gu Yanying dismissed everyone with a wave of her hand before giving an order to an honest-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator who seemed to be in his forties or fifties. He was the shopkeeper of this Arsenal of Arms store, and he was in charge of receiving guests.

Old Wu could not help but study Li Qingshan. How could he let an outsider into an important place like the store room? Even if he received important guests, he would only invite them to a private room.

However, since the order came directly from Gu Yanying, he refused to defy her. “Yes, ma’am!”

Under old Wu’s lead, they arrived on the top floor. They passed through who knew how many alarm systems and formations and opened several gates before reaching the treasury of the Arsenal of Arms.

With what I’m capable of, getting through these formations on the outside is nothing difficult, but who knows what those gates are made of. They’ve been imbued with great power. I’d probably struggle to get through them even with the Traitorous Demon sword in hand.

Suddenly, there was a flash right before his eyes. A wave of light surged into his face, almost dazzling his eyes. He squinted, only to see countless spiritual artifacts glowing brightly. They varied in size, forming a dazzling array that filled his eyes, occupying the entire store room.

Shopkeeper Wu closed the gate and stood straight. “Ma’am, we’re here.”

Gu Yanying said, “Let’s take a look at the arcane artifacts inside.”

“That… might not be appropriate.” Shopkeeper Wu hesitated and glanced at Li Qingshan.

“Stop faltering around! Go!”

Gu Yanying urged with a smile. Her voice was very gentle, like he was an old friend and not a subordinate.

“Yes.”

With no other choice, shopkeeper Wu arrived before the eastern wall. He formed a seal and muttered a chant. Another gate opened on the clean, smooth wall, and he turned around. “Please!”

Finally, Li Qingshan arrived in the true treasury of the Arsenal of Arms. Looking around, there were almost a hundred different items, placed in individual display cases. There were common blades, swords, and armour among them, as well as various wondrous items hidden behind films of light, obscuring their glow.

However, Li Qingshan knew that every single one of them was an extremely precious arcane artifact, and they were worth far more than the countless spiritual artifacts outside combined.



Old Wu offered up a jade slip, and Li Qingshan sent his soul sense into it. Inside the jade slip was information regarding all of these arcane artifacts. Regular customers probably could only purchase these arcane artifacts through this jade slip and could not directly enter this room to pick and choose among the actual items.

Gu Yanying glanced around. She made her way over to a display case and extended her hand in. Her fair hand passed through the film of light slowly. By the time she drew them out again, she was already holding a set of almost-transparent gloves. They shone with lacy rings of light. They were a low grade arcane artifact.

“Come, try this on.”

“That’s a fantastic choice, ma’am. The ‘Gentle Wave gloves’ don’t require any special introduction. All they do is make water element techniques and battle skills a lot faster and a lot stronger when used. They’re perfect for this fellow to use,” shopkeeper Wu introduced with great expertise.

In a battle to the death, being even a split second faster might be the difference between life and death, let alone “a lot”.

Li Qingshan put on the gloves, and their glow became withdrawn. He discovered that the gloves were so light that he felt like he was wearing nothing. He could even make out his fingerprints clearly. They were like the blue waves of a lake, coloured when looked at from afar, but colourless when scooped up in the hands.

He held his hands. Even his sense of touch had not been affected at all. Just how functional would something so light and handy be?

He parted his hands again and silently circulated his spiritual qi. The moment the thought occurred to him, a tiny water swirl had appeared. The entire process had been free and smooth as if it had not taken him any additional effort at all.

Li Qingshan beamed with joy inside. If he possessed this, then he could definitely multiply the strength of Ocean Wielding. It suited him even more than the Heavy Water sword. If he had been wearing these gloves when he clashed with Eternal Faith, he was rather confident he could smash through his robes with a single punch.

Old Wu was secretly amazed too. The water swirl was only the size of a thumb, but it whistled like a tornado. The power it contained could probably pierce through rock, and he was merely testing it out. If he used the technique seriously, just how powerful would that be?

“Alright, this’ll be one!”

Li Qingshan said firmly before simply keeping the gloves on his hand, without taking them off. He continued choosing.

He was constantly amazed. He felt every single arcane artifact was so special and powerful, and basically the introduction for every single one of them was very long, providing various kinds of information regarding the arcane artifact.

He had always liked fighting and been skilled at fighting. Whenever he got to an arcane artifact, he would basically imagine the battle skill that could unleash the greatest strength of the arcane artifact automatically, so he took even longer.

“You’re too slow. If you continue like this, you’ll miss out on the banquet. You better just leave it to me!” Gu Yanying waited for a while before stowing her folding fan away and extending her hand.
