Hang Chen's group of three was walking on a tree-lined path back to Pine Courtyard.
Hang Chen walked in front with Yin Feiyang and Ran Donglai following behind him. Their expressions were somewhat gloomy.
Ran Donglai frowned and couldn't help but complain, "Ai, I already said that we would definitely incur the wrath of the crowd if we brazenly ran to the plaza to practice the sword."
"I don't know what Deacon Qi is thinking. He clearly knows that we will become the target of public criticism, yet he still wants us to do this?"
Although Yin Feiyang didn't understand, he still smiled and advised, "Junior Brother Ran, Lord Deacon definitely has his reasons for wanting us to do this. Don't complain."
Hang Chen also said in a low voice, "For countless years, our sect has never sent a disciple to the Sky Pillar Sect. In this year's Dragon Mountain Tournament, the Sect Master sent us to the Sky Pillar Sect to exchange knowledge. "
"What do we have to exchange knowledge with those trash from the Tempest Courtyard?"
"The Sect Master must have a deeper meaning for making such an arrangement. We don't need to delve into it. We just need to follow orders."
"Wait until the Dragon Mountain Tournament. We will beat up those trash from the Tempest Courtyard and complete our mission!"
Ran Donglai and Yin Feiyang both nodded with sneers on their faces.
… …
After everyone from the Tempest Courtyard returned, they all returned to their rooms.
Not long after Ji Tianxing entered his room, there was a knock on the door.
He quickly opened the door and saw that the person knocking was Han Qiusheng.
"Deacon Han? Why have you come? "
Under normal circumstances, if Han Qiusheng had something to do, he would ring the bell and gather everyone in the main hall.
Ji Tianxing didn't expect that Han Qiusheng would personally come to find him.
Han Qiusheng didn't enter the room and nodded. "Ji Tianxing, come with me. Elder Chu wants to see you."
"Elder Chu wants to see us?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows. He immediately guessed that the Outer Sect Elder wanted to see him and Lu Mingyang. It was most likely because of the Dragon Mountain Tournament.
Thus, he followed Han Qiusheng out of the Tempest Courtyard.
Lu Mingyang was already waiting at the entrance. The two followed Han Qiusheng to the palace behind the Tempest Courtyard.
That palace was the Outer Sect's exclusive treasury, used to store all kinds of weapons, equipment, refining materials, medicinal herbs, and so on.
That treasury was a forbidden area, and there were many guards guarding it. Normally, no one dared to approach it.
Han Qiaosheng led the two of them to the entrance of the treasury. The two of them saw the outer sect elder, Chu Huaishan, standing there waiting for them.
"Elder Chu, the two disciples have arrived. This subordinate will take his leave!"
Han Qiaosheng saluted Chu Huaishan, then turned and left.
Chu Huaishan looked at Ji Tianxing and Lu Mingyang with a kind smile.
"You two are not bad!"
"Even though you knew that the Tian Jian Sect's disciples were powerful, you were still willing to step forward and fight for the Tian Jian Sect.
Ji Tianxing and Lu Mingyang quickly saluted and said a few modest words.
Chu Huaishan nodded and said in a serious tone, "As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. If a martial artist wants to display his strongest combat strength, he must be equipped with good weapons.
"The reason I called you here today is to let you choose two suitable weapons and equipment from the treasury. Only then will you be able to make a name for the Tian Jian Sect in the Large Competition."
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's reaction was flat, but Lu Mingyang was full of joy and excitement. His eyes were shining.
Previously, he had planned to drag Ji Tianxing along with him to ask Elder Chu for treasures and weapons.
Who would have known that Elder Chu had already planned to do this and had even taken the initiative to bring it up?
How could Lu Mingyang not be excited?
Afterwards, Chu Huaishan led Ji Tianxing and Lu Mingyang into the treasury.
The first floor was a spacious hall filled with cabinets for medicinal herbs and refining materials.
The weapons and equipment were stored on the second floor. They were arranged in rows on shelves and even hung on the walls.
After entering the armory on the second floor, Chu Huaishan stopped at the door and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll give you an hour to choose two suitable weapons and equipment."
Ji Tianxing and Lu Mingyang bowed and thanked Chu Huaishan, then walked into the treasury.
The two of them shuttled through the rows of shelves, their eyes constantly scanning the various weapons and equipment as they carefully selected.
The weapons and equipment in this treasury included knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, bows, hooks, and tridents.
In addition to the various weapons, there were all kinds of defensive equipment such as heavy armor, light armor, chain armor, leather armor, and soft armor.
There were even hidden weapons such as throwing knives, poison needles, darts, and so on.
Although most of the weapons and equipment were of the Black Level, they were for the use of ordinary disciples.
However, there were also some Black Level, mid-grade, and a few Black Level, upper grade weapons and equipment, which were only used to reward disciples who had made great contributions.
Chu Huaishan personally brought Ji Tianxing and Lu Mingyang to choose the equipment. With such special privileges, of course they could choose whatever they wanted. The higher the quality, the better.
Ji Tianxing was relatively calm. He didn't look at the swords and weapons, only choosing the appropriate armor.
After all, the Ice Hornless Armor he wore before had been damaged in the process of fighting with the witch.
Lu Mingyang, on the other hand, was flushed with excitement. Looking at the dazzling array of weapons and equipment, he was already dazzled.
One moment, he saw that the sword was good, the next moment, he saw that the spear was very strong, and after a while, he saw a set of armor.
In short, tens of thousands of weapons and equipment dazzled him. As long as it was of the Black Level, he wanted it!
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
Ji Tianxing walked out of the treasury first and returned to the door. He bowed to Chu Huaishan and said, "Elder Chu, this disciple has finished choosing."
Chu Huaishan saw that he was holding a set of dark golden soft armor in his hand and couldn't help but nod. "Well, you have a good eye."
"This set of Golden Sun Soft Armor is of the Black Level, high-grade. It contains the Qi of Geng Metal. Not only is its defense strong, but it can also refine the warrior's True Essence."
"However, Ji Tianxing, are you sure you only want a set of soft armor and not a sword?"
Ji Tianxing smiled and explained, "No need. This disciple already has a sword and is used to it."
Chu Huaishan nodded and didn't try to persuade him again.
At this time, Lu Mingyang walked out and just happened to hear Ji Tianxing's words. He couldn't help but curl his lips and say, "Ji Tianxing, the three disciples of the Tian Jian Sect are very strong. If you don't choose a high-grade sword, how can you defeat them?"
"Hehe, or is it because you're certain that we'll lose without a doubt, so you've decided not to pick a weapon?"
Hearing Lu Mingyang's voice, Ji Tianxing and Chu Huaishan both turned to look at him.
Seeing Lu Mingyang's appearance, the two of them suddenly became a little strange.
They saw that Lu Mingyang had a sword on his back, a bow at his waist, a set of armor in his left hand, a golden helmet in his right, and even a pair of combat boots on his feet!
These few pieces of equipment, without exception, were all Black Grade Upper Grade, the best equipment in the treasury.
Chu Huaishan's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily, "You little brat … Are you trying to empty the treasury?"
Ji Tianxing saw Lu Mingyang's funny appearance and couldn't help but want to laugh. He said in a mocking tone, "Lu Mingyang, you chose so many pieces of equipment. Are you trying to wrap yourself up like a dumpling?"
"Are you nervous and guilty? Are you so scared that you want to back out?"
Lu Mingyang glared at him angrily and said in a low voice, "How can I back out? I am actively preparing for the war and striving to win honor for the sect! "
