"Thank you so much!"
Actually, Xie Haikun was very concerned about Xiao Chengjiang's safety. After all, they had been good friends for many years. However, he had a mission and couldn't leave Stony Plain City.
Du Feng was different. Although he had just been appointed as the captain of the city defense team, it was just an empty position. He didn't have any subordinates or specific missions. It was just an additional identity. With his income, he didn't need the salary from the City Lord's office. Of course, if he wanted to do anything, he didn't need to be under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's office.
With Du Feng going to the border defense, not only could he save Xiao Chengjiang's life, but many border guards would also benefit from it. Xie Haikun silently remembered this favor in his heart, and had an even higher opinion of Brother Du's character.
After saying goodbye to Xie Haikun and leaving the Premium Residence, Du Feng went straight to Jiuqiao Pavilion. As expected, Situ Weiwei didn't go anywhere. She just stayed in the store.
"Hey, what brings our Master Du here?"
This woman spoke sourly as soon as they met. She didn't call him brother-in-law, but Master Du instead. She was very unhappy that Du Feng left without saying goodbye. So what if you offended an inner city family? As long as you were willing to rely on the Situ family, you could settle everything in minutes. However, Du Feng liked to rely on himself. Even if he wanted to borrow the Geng Gold Needles, he came with a condition.
"What? You want to make True Origin Cannons?"
After hearing Du Feng's suggestion, Situ Weiwei quickly dragged him to the fourth floor. What a joke. True Origin Cannons were national weapons. Only a Rank 4 Empire would have the qualifications to possess such a thing. Although Stony Plain City was just a city, its scale had already reached the standard of a level-4 empire. However, the rules of the Southern Continent were special. Cities directly under the Fist Emperor didn't have to be named after empires.
"Yes, I have a general understanding. Unfortunately, the Geng Silver Needles are a little …"
Du Feng wanted to say something but stopped. He pretended to be mysterious. The more humble he was, the more Situ Weiwei felt that something was up. Last time, Du Feng had also said that he knew a thing or two about Inscription Spirits, but in the end, the thing he created was extremely powerful.
"You don't have enough Geng Silver Needles? Sure, I'll lend you the Geng Gold Needles."
As expected, Situ Weiwei fell for it. What was a True Essence Cannon? Even if the Situ family wanted to obtain one, they would have to pay a huge price. It wasn't just a matter of money. In order to restrict the development of other forces, many large forces simply didn't allow the True Essence Cannons to flow into the market.
In fact, Du Feng's words were not completely a lie, because he really was interested in studying the True Essence Cannon. Last time in East Port City, he had memorized the runes on the True Essence Cannon. If it were someone else, just looking at the runes would be useless. However, he himself had talent in Talisman Taoism and had relevant knowledge. After seeing it, he actually had the idea of imitating it.
If they could get close to the True Origin Cannon, it would be even more useful to the research society. Du Feng had already thought about it. He would take advantage of his newly acquired captain's position to come into contact with the True Essence Cannons on the city wall. Of course, if he wanted to get close to the True Essence Cannon, he still had to have some achievements. Just providing the City Lord Mansion with the news of the beast tide might not be enough. He had to show some bravery in the process of killing the demonic beasts.
Situ Weiwei didn't know that Du Feng had so many thoughts in his mind. She just moved her face closer and stared at him. This man was too mysterious. Alchemy, array formation, inscription, there was simply nothing that could stump him. Now that he even dared to study the True Essence Cannon, what else was there that he didn't dare to do?
"Many thanks, Sister Weiwei. I'll go back to work now."
Situ Weiwei was too close to him. Her hot breath was blowing on his face. This woman still didn't let him be at ease. Du Feng took the Geng Silver Needles and returned them to her. He then took the Geng Gold Needles and quickly left. The newly made sword was still waiting for the inscription. He didn't know what effect a King Tier Medium Grade sword would have after he ordered it.
Whether it was a weapon or armor, the higher the grade, the harder it was to upgrade. A low-grade Profound Ranked Armor could easily be upgraded to a low-grade or even mid-grade Earth Ranked Armor by inscribing a ghost rune. However, if one wanted to upgrade a mid-grade Earth Ranked Armor to Heaven Ranked, they would have to inscribe at least two ghost runes.
In this way, it would be even more difficult for a Heaven Ranked Armor to be upgraded to the King Tier. That Red Ghost Armor was already a special case. It had advanced from the middle grade of Heaven Ranked to the high grade of the King Tier in one go. In addition to the mysterious power of the ghost head pattern, it had already reached the level of the top grade of the King Tier. Its effect was comparable to an Emperor Tier armor. An Emperor Tier item was something that only a Heaven Seizing Realm senior supreme expert would have. Only a rich and powerful person like City Lord Xie Haikun would be able to possess two or three Void Sea Realm martial artists.
Tsk tsk tsk … It was better to keep a low profile. Du Feng had already thought it through. He wouldn't easily wear the Red Ghost Armor. When fighting against the beast tide, he could first wear the first set of ghost head armor. In addition to the invisible soft armor inside, the defense and damage reflection effects were not weak.
"Master, you're too good to me."
The Red Ghost Armor was first worn by the ghost servant, which moved him quite a bit. In any case, he was usually hidden in the small world of the necklace, so no one could see what he was wearing.
"Cut the crap and get ready."
Du Feng was going to inscribe a new treasure sword's spirit. This time, he was going to use the Geng Gold Needle. The treasured sword had already reached the middle grade of the King Tier, so it would be extremely difficult to inscribe ghost runes on it.
Fortunately, it was worthy of being called the famous Geng Gold Needle. After the first stroke, Du Feng knew that his choice was correct. If he still used the Geng Silver Needle, he definitely wouldn't be able to connect to the second Ghost Talisman. To be able to last until the sixth stroke of the first Ghost Talisman, he would be half-dead from exhaustion.
Now that he had the Geng Gold Needle, everything became much smoother. The first Ghost Talisman's six strokes were successfully completed, and then the second Ghost Talisman's inscription, followed by the third, and then the fourth. After the fourth Ghost Talisman was completed, Du Feng was out of strength. After all, this was a mid-grade King Tier treasure sword. Not only was it hard and resistant, it also consumed a lot of energy.
"Hai!"
Seeing this, the ghost servant shouted and hurriedly infused ghost energy into the treasure sword. Du Feng, on the other hand, quickly sat down cross-legged. After consuming an elixir, he held the blue crystal in his hand and began to recover his energy. The treasure sword had already turned red, so red that it looked like blood could drip from it.
"Continue!"
By the time the ghost servant was about to be drained dry, Du Feng had already recovered. He placed his hand on the ghost servant's back and continued to infuse his Yin elemental energy. The red treasure sword let out a cry again, as if a giant dragon was about to charge out of the abyss. The dazzling red light was so blinding that it hurt their eyes, but both Du Feng and the ghost servant were doing their best to persevere.
