Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan's heart moved slightly. This new sword was one of the more powerful ones that Zhao Bing`er sensed. At this moment, under the pressure of the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, there was not the slightest movement, so it was probably not ordinary.
However, the dusty sword did not move at all, which was somewhat out of Lu Xuan's expectations. This sword had obviously experienced a battle, and there was not the slightest scar on the sword. Logically speaking, it should be relatively strong, but Zhao Bing`er did not sense the slightest aura from it. It was really puzzling. Lu Xuan could not help but secretly guess that the sword had been damaged from the inside, so there was no aura coming from it, nor was there a sharp enough aura to remove the dust on the sword.
After a slight hesitation, Lu Xuan did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he poured increasingly vigorous Yuan Power into the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, increasing its power.
The Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword was a spirit weapon, but at this moment, it could at most display the power of a high-grade earth-rank treasure weapon. As Lu Xuan poured in Yuan Power, its power gradually increased.
When Lu Xuan pushed its power to the maximum, the new sword finally began to tremble slightly. Elder Gu and Zhao Bing`er both noticed this phenomenon. Elder Gu could not help but secretly marvel in his heart. Lu Xuan's choice of sword was really ingenious, but the effect was excellent. He did not know what grade the broken sword in Lu Xuan's hand was, to be able to cause all the swords to cry in unison. Even the high-grade earth-rank Profound Ice Sword in the sect did not seem to have this effect.
Moreover, Elder Gu was clear that this new sword was the latest mid-grade earth-rank weapon forged by the Profound Ice Pavilion. It seemed that Lu Xuan had hit the jackpot, picking a mid-grade earth-rank weapon all at once.
However, after Lu Xuan's eyes swept over the new sword, he looked at the dusty sword. At this moment, the dusty sword did not have any reaction! It was still lying quietly on a sword platform.
Could it be that the dusty sword had already reached the high-grade earth-rank? Perhaps, as he had guessed, the Dusty Sword had already been destroyed from the inside?
Now, Lu Xuan had to make a choice. Was he going to choose a new sword, or was he going to choose this dusty sword?
According to the principle of safety, Lu Xuan should choose the new sword. It was obvious that through the double inspection of Zhao Binger and him, it was basically confirmed that it was a mid-grade earth-step treasure. If he chose it, Lu Xuan wouldn't suffer a loss.
However, Lu Xuan was someone who liked new things. He was already interested in this dusty sword. His intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with this sword.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan finally made a decision. He turned to Elder Gu and said, "Elder Gu, I have chosen."
Elder Gu shook his head with a smile and said, "Kid, your luck is really good. This sword took a year to forge, and it was only a month ago that it was successfully forged. I had just moved into the Divine Armament Tower when you picked it."
Lu Xuan was stunned, but immediately understood. Elder Gu was not talking about the dusty sword, but the new sword. From Elder Gu's words, it was obvious that this new sword was undoubtedly a mid-grade earth-step treasure. Zhao Binger was also happy for Lu Xuan. It was not convenient for a divine object like the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword to appear often. If he could obtain a mid-grade earth-step treasure as a regular weapon, Lu Xuan's strength would also be greatly improved. Before, if Lu Xuan used this sword to fight against Leng Qingqiu, it would not have been destroyed by him.
Just as Elder Gu was about to remove the array on the new sword, Lu Xuan stopped Elder Gu's actions and said, "Elder Gu, I did not choose this new sword, but that one."
Following the direction of Lu Xuan's finger, Elder Gu was surprised. Lu Xuan actually chose the dusty sword!
"Are you sure?" Elder Gu could not help but ask again. He had made it very clear just now that the new sword was undoubtedly the one with the highest grade among all the swords. He did not expect Lu Xuan to have no choice but to choose it.
"That's right. I'll take it," Lu Xuan answered with certainty.
Elder Gu hesitated slightly, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll give you another chance. You can choose again."
As the head butler of the Profound Ice Pavilion, Elder Gu could be said to know the weapons in the Divine Armament Building like the back of his hand. His words could be said to be quite clear. It was almost as if he was telling Lu Xuan that he had chosen the wrong sword. If it was not for Lu Xuan's outstanding performance, Elder Gu would not have done such a thing that went against his principles.
Zhao Binger also anxiously said, "Lu Xuan, don't be willful. Just choose this new sword."
Lu Xuan was a very stubborn person. The more Elder Gu and Zhao Binger persuaded him, the more he wanted the dusty sword.
"This is it. I'll have to trouble Elder Gu to help me take it out." Lu Xuan still pointed at the dusty sword.
Seeing Lu Xuan so persistent, Elder Gu was really helpless. He lightly sighed and lifted his hand. With a wave of his hand, he removed the formation on the dusty sword. With a slight bend of his finger, the dusty sword was sucked into Elder Gu's hand. He then handed it to Lu Xuan.
"I've already given you a chance. You can't blame me for not grasping it. Since you've chosen this sword, I might as well tell you that this sword is a useless sword." Elder Gu calmly said.
"It's really a useless sword?" Lu Xuan could not help but ask doubtfully.
Zhao Binger also asked, "Elder Gu, since it's a useless sword, how is it qualified to be placed in the Divine Armament Building?"
She originally thought that a weapon that could be placed in the Divine Armament Building, at the very least, would be of the finest quality among the high-grade Human Tier treasures. She did not expect that a useless sword would appear. If that was the case, then Lu Xuan's choice this time would be completely wasted.
Elder Gu explained, "Other than the high-grade weapons in the Divine Armament Building, there are also some weapons with a certain history. This broken sword is one of them."
"This sword was obtained by a pavilion master in the history of the Profound Ice Pavilion from a dangerous place. At first, the pavilion master thought that he had obtained a treasure, but after studying it in every possible way, he helplessly discovered that this sword could not be used at all. It is not that the sword is broken, but because its structure is very strange, we cannot use it at all. Perhaps its grade is very high, but in our hands, it is no different from an ordinary weapon. It is precisely because of this that we call it a useless sword."
After Elder Gu's explanation, Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger finally understood what was going on. Lu Xuan looked at the dusty sword in his hand and could not help but bitterly smile. His intuition was not wrong, and the result of using the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword was also correct. This sword's grade was indeed not ordinary, which was why it did not react to the power of the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword. But if it could not be used, no matter how high the grade was, it would be useless.
However, Lu Xuan was still unwilling in his heart. He had finally obtained a chance to choose an Earth-step treasure, but he had actually picked a useless sword?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan could not help but infuse his Taiyi energy into the dusty sword. He wanted to see how strange this sword was, for it to actually be unable to be used with spirit energy.
But at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred!
With the infusion of Lu Xuan's Taiyi energy, the dusty sword suddenly released a beautiful sword light. It was like a dry riverbed had suddenly been moistened by the rain, and the entire sword began to violently tremble!
Holding the sword in his hand, Lu Xuan had a strange feeling. He could feel the dusty sword cheering and being excited. It was like a vagabond who had suddenly found his home after drifting away from home.
This was the first time that Lu Xuan had felt this kind of connection with the sword in his hand. This feeling was like this sword should have belonged to him. Even when he used the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword, Lu Xuan did not feel this way. After all, the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword was the Ice Phoenix's sword, not Lu Xuan's.
In front of Zhao Binger and Elder Gu's surprised eyes, the dust that had accumulated on the dusty sword for who knows how many years was instantly washed away by the sword light, revealing a new luster. Compared to this dusty sword, the new sword that had just been forged by the Profound Ice Pavilion seemed to be overshadowed!
The sword light began to gradually converge, and the dusty sword once again returned to its previous calm state. But a sharp aura came from its body, and there was no trace of dispiritedness. It did not look like the "useless sword" that Elder Gu had mentioned.
"This, this, what is going on?" Elder Gu couldn't help but feel a little confused. He had just sworn that this was a useless sword, and that no one could use it. Why did it suddenly shine with such vitality in Lu Xuan's hands?
Zhao Binger was surprised and happy. She asked, "Lu Xuan, you can use it?"
Lu Xuan lovingly wiped the dusty sword that no longer had a single speck of dust on it. He smiled and nodded, "It seems to listen to my commands."
"This is unbelievable. Ever since this sword came to the Profound Ice Pavilion, who knows how many people have tried to use it, including Nangong Shuo, Su Chuanan, and your master Zhao Ying. They have all tried, but they all failed. I didn't think that it would actually shine in Lu Xuan's hands. How did you do it?" Elder Gu quickly asked.
Lu Xuan also didn't understand. He had only poured his Origin Energy into the dusty sword, and the dusty sword had become excited. Lu Xuan himself didn't know the reason behind this, so he could only answer, "Perhaps it is as Elder Gu said. The godly weapon has a spirit, and it chooses its own master. Perhaps it thinks that I can make it shine."
However, Elder Gu did not believe it. Divine weapons had spirits and could choose their own masters. This was just a pretense. Those truly powerful weapons, such as the legendary Spirit Weapons, might be able to choose their own masters. However, those below Spirit Weapons, not to mention Precious Weapons, even Sacred Weapons, which were a level higher than Precious Weapons, might not be able to do this. Elder Gu believed that there must be something special about Lu Xuan's body that allowed him to successfully activate this "wasted sword" that had been lying in the Mysterious Ice Pavilion for countless years.
