Upon seeing Elder Gu walking over, the two guards in front of the Divine Armament Tower hurriedly walked over and bowed.
"Greetings to Elder Gu, greetings to Senior Zhao." The two attendants greeted Elder Gu and Zhao Bing`er. Zhao Bing`er's fame wasn't inferior to any of the elders.
However, when they looked at Lu Xuan, they were slightly hesitant. They didn't know who this person was. For Elder Gu and Zhao Bing`er to personally accompany him, he shouldn't be an ordinary person.
Elder Gu smiled and introduced Lu Xuan to the two of them. "This is Elder Zhao Ying's new disciple, Lu Xuan. He is also the champion of this personal disciple battle. I brought Lu Xuan here to choose a weapon. There's no need to be so polite."
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's name, the two of them revealed a look of understanding. After that, they curiously sized up Lu Xuan. Although they had never met Lu Xuan before, they had long heard of this name. Not only did he win Zhao Bing`er's heart, he even dared to make things difficult for Leng Qingqiu. From Elder Gu's words, he actually obtained the champion of this personal disciple battle. This was truly incredible.
"Greetings to Senior Lu." The two of them bowed to Lu Xuan. Although Lu Xuan entered the sect much later than them, his status was much higher than theirs. Not to mention, as Zhao Ying's disciple and Zhao Bing`er's sweetheart, Lu Xuan's future achievements would definitely be extraordinary.
"Two attendants, there's no need to be so polite." Lu Xuan smiled and cupped his hands in return. Although it was just a simple action, it caused the two of them to have a good impression of Lu Xuan. Usually, when ordinary personal disciples saw them, their eyes would be on top of their heads. It was already good enough for them to nod their heads. Why would they even bother to return the greeting?
"Senior Lu is too polite. We will open the Divine Armament Tower now." The two of them quickly controlled the mechanism and the door of the Divine Armament Tower opened.
The weapons in the Divine Armament Tower were all extremely precious. Although there were only two people guarding it, there were many layers of array formations, and if one were to enter without permission, all kinds of killing arrays would immediately be activated. Even if one entered, one was not allowed to touch the weapons protected by the array formation, or else one would be regarded as an intruder.
"Let's go." Elder Gu walked in first.
As soon as he entered the Divine Armament Tower, Lu Xuan felt a murderous aura. It was not only the aura released by the formation, but also formed by the countless weapons in the tower. Not all of the weapons were new. Most of them were obtained from the outside world by the elders and disciples of the Xuan Ice Pavilion. Some of the weapons had been through countless bloody battles, and their blades were stained with blood. They carried an extremely strong murderous aura.
Just like the Armament Tower of the Wind Sword School, the weapons in the Divine Armament Tower were also arranged according to categories. Moreover, there was a long distance between each weapon and there was a special formation protecting them. This was to maintain the sharpness of the weapons.
Since they knew that Lu Xuan was a swordsman, Elder Gu directly brought Lu Xuan into the Sword Pavilion. All kinds of swords immediately appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
Long swords, short swords, heavy swords, double swords. Lu Xuan even saw Tang Yi's Sleeve Sword. However, the grade was definitely higher than the ones in Tang Yi's hands.
These swords were either directly inserted into the ground, placed in the sword sheath, or placed horizontally on the sword platform. The only thing they had in common was that all the swords were separated by formations. If one wanted to forcefully break the formation and take out the swords, it would immediately activate the formations that covered the entire Divine Armament Tower. There was no way to escape in the sky or on the ground.
"The Divine Armament has a spirit and chooses its own master." Elder Gu stood in front of the Sword Pavilion with his hands behind his back and said to Lu Xuan, "Among so many swords, there are low-grade and mid-grade Earth-rank weapons. Even if they are all low-grade Earth-rank weapons, there are quality and sub-quality ones. You cannot break these formations to test the power of the chosen sword. You can only choose your weapon based on your own feelings. If you want to choose a good weapon, it will depend on your foresight and fate."
Elder Gu glanced at Zhao Bing`er and said, "If you are not sure, why not let Martial Niece Bing`er choose for you."
Zhao Bing`er had already spread out her divine sense and used all her strength to feel the aura of these swords. Just as Elder Gu had said, the Divine Armament had a spirit. Although these swords could not be called Divine Armaments, they also had their own aura. Generally speaking, the stronger the aura of a weapon, the higher its grade would be. Just like how the higher the realm of a martial artist, the stronger their aura would be.
Lu Xuan saw that Zhao Bing`er had closed her eyes and was immediately interested. He wanted to see if the sword he picked would be the same as Zhao Bing`er's.
Immediately, Lu Xuan also released his perception, trying to feel the aura of these swords. But very quickly, he discovered that this was not an easy task. There were too many weapons in the Divine Armament Building, and they were filled with a strong killing intent. His perception was unable to accurately grasp them. More importantly, each sword was protected by a formation, almost completely blocking the aura of the swords. Whether or not Zhao Bing`er could sense them, Lu Xuan wasn't sure, but he knew that he couldn't sense them at all.
Lu Xuan steeled his heart and used all his strength to penetrate into one of the formations, trying to forcefully break through the barrier of the formation to investigate the swords. But just as he was about to break through, the formation suddenly sent out a counterattack, heavily bombarding onto Lu Xuan's perception.
Unprepared for this attack, Lu Xuan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Not only was he unable to break through the defense, but he also suffered a small loss.
Elder Gu couldn't help but laugh, "Lu Xuan, you can't choose a weapon in the Divine Armament Building. You can only rely on your eyesight and perception. With your current strength, it is absolutely impossible for you to break through the barrier of the formation."
Lu Xuan was a little depressed. Although he had the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, he didn't care too much about what kind of weapon he could pick. But knowing that there were mid-grade Earth-step artifacts, he naturally wouldn't want to pick low-grade ones.
At this time, Zhao Bing`er finally used her divine sense to sweep through all the weapons and opened her eyes.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhao Bing`er and asked, "Bing`er, how is it? Which ones are mid-grade Earth-step artifacts?"
Zhao Bing`er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I don't have the ability to see through the barrier of the formation. I can only barely feel their aura, and it's very fleeting, so I can't be sure."
"Then tell me first. In any case, I won't blame you if you pick low-grade ones." Lu Xuan waved his hand.
Zhao Bing`er hesitated for a moment, then pointed at a few swords and said, "These are the swords that I feel are the strongest. Maybe you can choose from them."
Lu Xuan looked at the swords that Zhao Bing`er pointed at. Among them, there were three longswords, one heavy sword, and one short sword. Although he had trained with a heavy sword for a period of time, it was for the sake of improving his speed, so he naturally gave up on the heavy sword. As for a short sword, Lu Xuan wasn't good at it. He preferred a more conventional longsword, so his target was naturally those three longswords.
These three swords all looked quite sharp. No matter which one of them, if taken to the outside world, they would be called a true treasure sword. After all, they were all Earth-step artifacts, and they were stronger than Lu Xuan's Broken Ice Sword.
One of the swords was brand new. It should have been forged after it was forged and had yet to experience battle. The other two swords were slightly old. It was obvious that they had experienced battle. If one looked closely, they could even see some battle scars on the swords.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but frown. Swords that could be left with traces might not be good. He didn't see the broken Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword and Leng Qingqiu's Earth-step artifact, but there was no doubt that it was unfair to compare these swords with the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword. The two weren't even on the same level. As for the new swords, they weren't reliable either. Who knew if they were forged defective?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Is there a sword that has experienced a fierce battle, but doesn't leave any traces?"
Elder Gu smiled. Lu Xuan's choice of swords was ingenious, but there was a certain logic to it. If it had experienced countless battles and was still brand new, then it naturally wouldn't be bad.
Zhao Bing`er glanced again and pointed to another sword, "That sword meets your requirements, but when I probed it with my divine sense, I couldn't feel the slightest aura. I'm afraid it's not of a high grade."
Lu Xuan's gaze shifted over. This was a very ordinary sword. The body of the sword wasn't as bright as the other swords. Instead, it gave off a feeling of being covered in a layer of dust. Among so many mighty swords, it was easy to overlook it. Even if someone noticed it, they probably wouldn't choose it. A truly good sword could cut through hair and cut through iron like mud. It could kill people without staining them with blood, so how could it be stained with dust?
Lu Xuan was also a little hesitant. Although he liked to go unusual, and he liked to choose martial skills that were broken, this sword really didn't have anything special about it.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xuan finally shook his head. Forget it, if this sword didn't have anything special, and was instead a weapon that was about to be scrapped, then wouldn't that be a loss? He came to choose a sword to take advantage of the Profound Ice Pavilion, not to let the Profound Ice Pavilion take advantage of him.
"Lu Xuan, do you have a choice?" Elder Gu asked.
Lu Xuan nodded. Just as he was about to choose the new sword that Zhao Bing`er had mentioned, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He recalled the scene when his Mystic Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword was unleashed, and the tens of thousands of swords of his disciples resonated in unison. Perhaps he could test it out this way? The array could isolate the aura of the swords, but it couldn't isolate their own spirituality.
If he wanted to do it, then he would do it. Under the curious gaze of Elder Gu and Zhao Bing`er, Lu Xuan decisively took out the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, injected a trace of spirit energy, and suddenly stabbed the tip of the sword into the ground!
In an instant, the countless swords in the sword pavilion gently trembled!
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded. So many swords had a reaction, then what should he choose?
After thinking about it, Lu Xuan felt that something was wrong. If there was a reaction, then it meant that these swords were all worshipping the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword. Although the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword was a spirit weapon, it was currently greatly damaged. Since it was worshipping it, then presumably these swords that had a reaction wouldn't do anything. Most of the swords used by the disciples in the personal disciple battles were human-grade artifacts, so they would worship the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword. Then, he should choose one that didn't worship the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword.
Lu Xuan quickly glanced at the swords and suddenly found that among the many swords, there were only two swords that didn't have a reaction. One was the new sword that Zhao Bing`er pointed out, and the other was the dust-covered sword.
