Chapter 63

In the past, there was no choice, so whatever was available was used, and he had never deeply pondered this issue.

But now, with the opportunity right before him, he hesitated.

An Eighth Rank Common weapon was a treasure worth at least several thousand gray stone coins, far from being an ordinary item.

Actually, from the Sixth Rank Common and above, they were known as "minor famous weapons."

Therefore, whether it was the black-scaled short knife on "Snake Blade" Chen Xingxiu's waist or the "Fire Dragon Spring Gun" on "Ancient Spear" Chen Hun's back, both were types of minor famous weapons.

This kind of choice did not allow for a second chance, so he had to be cautious.

How to select the most suitable weapon from the myriad of weapons and unique arms in the world was a significant challenge.

"Never mind, I'll just go in and take a look first. Perhaps just one glance will tell me what I want..."

The more he thought, the more his head ached. Tang Gu looked up and realized that the figures of the people in front were almost disappearing into the ancient tower. He shook his head and quickly caught up, no longer thinking.

Entering the armory.

"Lingdie" Fang Jiujiu, "Blue Fox" Yi Yuer, "Mad Demon" Chai Qixing... the five of them stopped at the first floor of the armory, the secret manual section, and then, under the guidance of the inner courtyard's white-robed steward, each chose their own manual.

However, Tang Gu and the other three were led directly to the second floor by the inner courtyard's green-robed elder, to the second level of the inner courtyard armory.

—The Weapon Armory!

Instantly, various weapons with different appearances and conditions were displayed on the counters, catching their eyes, and the four of them were completely stunned.

This was the first time the four of them had come to the inner courtyard's weapon armory.

They saw knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks, whips, flails, hammers, claws... silver shields, ancient mirrors, snake heart chains... and so on, all kinds of weapons, complete and abundant.

Each one shimmered with a radiant light, clearly not ordinary.

A thick wave of spiritual energy fluctuated around these weapons, making the spiritual energy in the weapon armory stronger than in other places.

Sharp and intimidating.

Tang Gu and the other three approached a counter and carefully examined it.

These weapons had different auras, some simple, some sharp, some heavy, some agile... a dazzling array of weapons, the lowest being Sixth Rank Common.

The highest even reached Ninth Rank Common, just one step away from being a famous weapon.

Tang Gu extended his hand and picked up a green, shiny flying dagger from the counter in front of him.

The flying dagger was palm-sized, with an ancient silver pattern on it, like a bird totem, no larger than a thumb, mysterious and ancient.

Tang Gu leaned forward to read the label next to the flying dagger: "Flying Dagger: Moonbird, Sixth Rank Common, worth 1,200 contribution points."

Tang Gu then looked at a four-foot-long, wooden yellow long sword next to it.

Yellow light flickered, and a peculiar sharp aura pierced his eyes, causing a pain in his brow.

"Long Sword: Hundred Ancients, Seventh Rank Common, worth 1,500 contribution points."

"Choose a sword?"

Tang Gu frowned and pondered.

If it were normal, he would naturally choose a sword... Moreover, his strongest offensive technique was a mysterious sword art he had learned from the green stone stele.

Unfortunately, he already had a Dark Cloud Iron Sword, and although this sword had a few nicks, its sharpness had not diminished much and could still be used for some time.

After hesitating, he put down the wooden yellow long sword and decided to look around more.

He went to another counter, where there were also seven or eight weapons of different sizes and types.

A treasure-blue long bow, a green-black iron strange hook, a two-inch-long peculiar silver dart...

"Mountain Breaker Bow, Sixth Rank Common, worth 1,120 contribution points."

"Goose Feather Hook, Seventh Rank Common, worth 1,650 contribution points."

"Sun and Moon Flowing Light Dart, Eighth Rank Common, worth 2,300 contribution points."

...

Tang Gu's heart stirred, and he reached out to pick up the treasure-blue long bow.

The bow's sides were curved like bird wings, and the center was filled with countless silver dots, like flowing water, giving a sense of flesh and blood when held.

He gently pulled the bowstring, which responded with a crisp sound, and a silver light arrow automatically formed and rested on it.

Tang Gu silently pondered.

To be honest, besides the sword, the only other weapon Tang Gu had used in this world was the bow.

Bows and swords were different: bows were for long-range, while swords were for close combat.

In this world, there were countless flying beasts... but humans who could fly were extremely rare.

—Even if you were a cultivator.

Therefore, humans could not fly before breaking through to the Earth Venerable realm, and could only rely on some magical flying techniques or special flying equipment to achieve short-term flight or temporary suspension in the air.

Therefore, when facing flying beasts, humans often suffered, being at a natural disadvantage, and the role of close-combat weapons was quite limited.

Sometimes, they were even completely useless.

This was also why, when facing the "Phantom Flame Copper Eagle," Tang Gu was at a loss, but later, seeing the purple bow, he was inspired, bought a "Lingyue Bow," and used a clever plan to kill it.

Therefore, besides the sword, the bow was actually a good choice...

However, after hesitating, Tang Gu finally put it down.

After seeing the mysterious and unpredictable power of the purple bow, Tang Gu had no interest in ordinary treasure bows.

—People compare to people until they die, and goods compare to goods until they are discarded. Compared to the purple bow, any treasure bow in front of Tang Gu was not worth a second glance.

This was the aftereffect of owning the purple bow.

So, unless absolutely necessary, Tang Gu did not want to waste this extremely precious and rare opportunity on a bow.

Time passed minute by minute, and Tang Gu casually looked around, half an hour passing in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the green-robed elder walked over, looked at Tang Gu, and smiled, "Still haven't chosen? Do you want me to give you some advice? Look, they have almost finished choosing."

Tang Gu was taken aback, raised his head slightly, and indeed saw that the other three had already chosen their weapons.

A bright silver curved knife, a blood-red long fan, and a small coiled dragon-shaped silver wheel.

These three weapons clearly did not match their cultivation needs, and they must have chosen randomly. Tang Gu glanced at them and instantly understood.

These three were not choosing weapons but prices... to them, there was no most suitable weapon, only the most suitable price.

As long as the price was high, they would choose it, and when exchanged for contribution points, it would naturally be more valuable.

Even among weapons of the same rank, there was definitely a significant fluctuation in value.

"I..."

Tang Gu said, somewhat troubled.

"Haha, I knew you would be like this..."

The green-robed elder laughed heartily and then waved his hand, "You are the only one among the four who truly wants to choose a weapon. Since that's the case, I'll help you. Follow me."

Saying that, he took large steps toward a corner.

Seeing this, Tang Gu hesitated for a moment but quickly followed.

The two arrived at the farthest corner of the weapon armory, where there was a crystal counter covered with red silk and locked tightly.

The green-robed elder lifted the red silk and opened the counter, stepping aside.

"Take a look. These few items are the true treasures of the weapon armory, usually not shown to people. This time, I see you have a connection, so I'll help you. Choose one for yourself!"

"Ah!"

Tang Gu was stunned, then overjoyed. He had never expected that there was such a hidden counter in the weapon armory. He approached and saw that inside the counter, five items were lying quietly.

A small dragon-shaped short knife only two feet long, a fiery red long sword emitting a blazing aura, a delicate blue short crossbow, a black, ancient-looking triangular iron fork, and a small, inconspicuous scorpion tail wrist clasp.
