However, even though the number of spots to participate in the pagoda ascension ceremony had increased, for many disciples with weaker cultivations, it was more troublesome.
Because if they wanted to compete, they would have to compete with their strength. Of course, those with higher cultivation would have an advantage.
In the past, they could only pass a certain test by luck. But now, the spots could only be obtained through competition. Naturally, strength was more important.
Many people sighed at this, such as Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi had been diligently cultivating ever since Ling Xiao gave him the Martial Arts manual. Now, his cultivation had broken through to the peak of the Second Layer Transcendent Realm.
However, this cultivation level was truly not that high.
It would be very difficult for him to enter the top fifty.
The Yuehua School's Inner Sect currently had about two hundred disciples. About a hundred of them were in the First Layer Transcendent Realm.
The others hadn't been counted yet, so Zhao Zhi didn't know his exact position. He could only desperately raise his strength to the limit. If he could snatch a spot, that would be the best.
Dai Yuling's cultivation was about the same as Zhao Zhi's. But because her cultivation method was more unique, she had already reached the early Third Layer Transcendent Realm.
These two were just barely qualified to obtain a spot.
However, when Ling Xiao handed them a Fine Grade Artifact defensive artifact, their confidence suddenly increased.
Once a cultivator of the same level had a magic artifact, they would be much stronger.
Especially a defensive artifact, it could play a big role in a critical moment.
Looking at the Fine Grade Artifact defensive artifact in his hand, Zhao Zhi said excitedly, "Senior Brother Ling, I can't thank you enough. I, Zhao Zhi, owe you, Ling Xiao. When I inherit the throne, I will definitely protect your family."
This was all he could do. After all, in terms of talent, he couldn't compare to Ling Xiao. Saying that he would save Ling Xiao and help Ling Xiao was a bit hypocritical. However, as the most valued prince of Northern Han, he could play a role in the secular world. Protecting the Divine Sword Sect was relatively simple.
"By the way, Senior Brother Ling, did you get this transcendent artifact from the Divine Weapon Hall?"
Even though Ling Xiao was still an outer court disciple, how could Zhao Zhi not know how terrifying his strength was?
Although Wu Yang and Qin Wu did not spread the news of what had happened at the Sha Family Castle to the public and only told Meng Yuan about it, Zhao Zhi could feel that Ling Xiao's aura had changed.
Therefore, he had already changed the name of Ling Xiao to Senior Brother.
In the sect, the strong were respected.
Other than the fact that the title of master and disciple would not change, the titles of senior and junior brothers, senior and junior sisters, and so on, were all determined based on their cultivation. This was also a kind of incentive measure.
"Divine Weapon Hall?"
Ling Xiao was stunned. He did not know that there was such a place in Yuehua School.
"It can't be, right? Senior Brother Ling, there are many good treasures in the Divine Weapon Hall. You obtained so many sect points last time, could it be that you exchanged them all for martial arts secret manuals?"
Zhao Zhi asked in surprise.
"No, I didn't. I was in a hurry to leave the sect to train, so I didn't use them."
Ling Xiao touched his chin. He felt that he really had to make a trip to the Divine Weapon Hall.
Transcendent artifacts were not just weapons and defensive equipment.
It also included some special items that aided in cultivation and battle. Of course, it also included secret scrolls, which were also considered a type of transcendent artifact.
In this period of time, Ling Xiao had seen the power of secret scrolls, as well as the power of many auxiliary and offensive transcendent artifacts.
Since he had a lot of points now, there was no need to exchange them for martial arts secret manuals. He might as well exchange them for transcendent artifacts.
In this way, his combat power would increase by a lot under the same cultivation level.
After all, anything could happen during the pagoda ascension ceremony. With more assurance, there would be more chances of success.
"Thank you for the reminder, Junior Brother Zhao. I'll go take a look at the Divine Weapon Hall now."
After bidding farewell to Zhao Zhi, Ling Xiao gave the last high-quality defensive artifact to Shangguan Lei.
Of course, he did this secretly and was sure that no one would see it.
After that, he asked for the location of the Divine Weapon Hall and quickly went there.
The Divine Weapon Hall was the same as the Array Hall and the Medicine Hall. It was one of the more important halls in the Yuehua School.
The Hall Masters of the Array Hall and the Medicine Hall were peak Transcendent Realm Level 9 martial artists.
The Hall Master of the Divine Weapon Hall was a true Heavenly Venerable.
Moreover, this Hall Master was an old acquaintance of Ling Xiao's — Heavenly Venerable Golden Light, who was also Leng Hao's master.
"Hahaha, little guy, we meet again?"
Heavenly Venerable Golden Light was very friendly when he saw Ling Xiao. Although Ling Xiao had refused to be his disciple, he was not a narrow-minded person.
"Heavenly Venerable is actually the Hall Master of the Divine Weapon Hall!"
Ling Xiao bowed to Heavenly Venerable Golden Light. He had a very good impression of Heavenly Venerable Golden Light.
Then, he explained his purpose of coming here.
"You want a support-type artifact? Sure, no problem. Take your pick. No matter what grade the artifact is, I'll give you a 50% discount for the first item, and a 20% discount for the second and subsequent items! "
Heavenly Venerable Golden Light said with a smile.
"Sky Sovereign, you have to think carefully. Last time, I made a great contribution to the sect. All the pills, martial arts manuals, and armaments were originally calculated according to a 20% discount. The discount you mentioned is calculated on the basis of a 20% discount."
Ling Xiao smiled.
"Of course, this Heavenly Venerable knows. However, since the Moon Maiden has chosen you, you are the future hope of the Yuehua School. This Heavenly Venerable only has one request for you, and that is to help Leng Hao as much as you can."
Heavenly Venerable Golden Light explained the reason why he was treating Ling Xiao so well.
"Since Heavenly Venerable Golden Light has said so, this junior will naturally not refuse."
Helping Leng Hao was just a small matter, but he could obtain the powerful help of Heavenly Venerable Golden Light. Even if there was no discount, Ling Xiao would definitely agree. Ling Xiao was very clear about this debt.
"Since that's the case, follow me in. Although you said that you want to choose a support-type weapon, this Heavenly Venerable feels that you should take a look. In fact, even the same weapon will have completely different attributes and uses."
As Heavenly Venerable Golden Light led Ling Xiao into the Divine Weapon Hall, he said, "This Heavenly Venerable knows that you have two treasured swords in your hands. They might have reached the level of a treasured artifact, but your two treasured swords are of the ice and snow attribute. This Heavenly Venerable feels that you can choose some treasured swords that are compatible with your attributes.
His words reminded Ling Xiao.
The Twelve Golden Lotus Arts had the power of twelve celestial bodies.
However, his Ice Dragon Sword and Floating Snow Sword were both of the ice and snow attribute. This was obviously not compatible enough.
What he needed now were four swords of the wind, thunder, rain, and lightning attributes. Only then would it be more suitable for him to display the power of the celestial bodies.
Of course, it would be even better if he could gather the power of twelve celestial bodies.
"Junior understands. Thank you for your reminder, Heavenly Venerable."
Ling Xiao nodded. He already had a plan in mind.
