The Utensil Pavilion is also a very important place in the Wind Sword Sect. All weapons are produced here, from low-grade iron weapons to high-grade iron weapons, everything is available. Even if you have enough contribution points, you can exchange for treasure-grade weapons here. However, the required contribution points are often in the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Even the top ten disciples in the overall rankings find it extremely difficult to exchange for a treasure-grade weapon. After all, even the weapons used by the inner sect elders are only low-grade treasures.
Therefore, obtaining a high-grade treasure is already quite good. For inner sect disciples, the only way to obtain a treasure-grade weapon is usually by achieving a high ranking in the sect's grand competition and receiving it as a reward.
Lu Xuan found the location of the Utensil Pavilion on his badge and went there alone.
He moved quickly, and soon a building much grander than the Martial Arts Pavilion came into view. This was the Utensil Pavilion. Inside the Utensil Pavilion, it contains all kinds of weapons, from common weapons to exotic blades, almost everything is available, so it occupies a vast area.
Standing in front of the Utensil Pavilion, Lu Xuan looked up. The entire Utensil Pavilion is divided into five floors, shaped like a tower, with each floor smaller than the one below it. However, the higher up you go, the more luxurious the decorations become. Compared to the Utensil Pavilion of the Wind Sword Sect, the Treasure Pavilion in Lincheng, where Uncle Jiu is in charge, seems rather petty.
It was early morning, and the Utensil Pavilion was not very crowded. A few disciples were coming and going. Without delay, Lu Xuan stepped into the Utensil Pavilion.
Upon entering, a young martial artist dressed as an attendant quickly came forward.
"Is this junior brother here to exchange for a weapon?" the attendant asked with a smile.
The attendants of the Wind Sword Sect are usually former disciples who have served for five years but have not entered the core. They either choose to return home or become attendants, so it is appropriate for him to call Lu Xuan "junior brother."
After becoming an attendant, one can still earn contribution points and use the Wind Sword Sect's resources for cultivation. Over time, if one has enough connections or strength, they can gradually be promoted to a manager, or even become an inner sect elder.
Lu Xuan sized up the attendant. His strength was only at the fourth level of Body Tempering, lower than his own. He must have been an outer sect disciple turned attendant. If he were an inner sect disciple, after five years of cultivation, he would not be just at the fourth level of Body Tempering.
"Yes, I want to pick a suitable weapon. Could Senior Brother Attendant introduce me to the options?" Lu Xuan did not look down on him because of his position and remained courteous.
Seeing Lu Xuan's politeness, the attendant's smile grew even wider. No one likes to be looked down upon.
"Hehe, my surname is Zhou. You can just call me Senior Brother Zhou. From what you said, it seems like this is your first time at the Utensil Pavilion. You must be a newly admitted disciple?"
Lu Xuan nodded in response, "My name is Lu Xuan, and I have just entered the sect."
Seeing Lu Xuan nod, the attendant's eyes flashed with surprise and he couldn't help but ask, "Could you be the absolute genius, Lu Xuan of the Sword Sect, who ranked first in the admission test and entered the top three hundred in the first test?"
When the attendant said this, Lu Xuan was somewhat embarrassed. The news had spread so quickly? The admission test was only two days ago, and the attendants of the Utensil Pavilion already knew about it.
"Senior Brother, you flatter me. I can hardly be called an absolute genius, but yes, I am Lu Xuan of the Sword Sect."
Lu Xuan didn't know that the attendants of the Wind Sword Sect were usually very idle and extremely enthusiastic about the sect's gossip. His name had already spread throughout the inner sect. If he were to go to the Martial Arts Pavilion again, even if he didn't show any strength, the middle-aged martial artist would not dare to extort him.
Seeing that the person in front of him was indeed Lu Xuan, the attendant named Zhou laughed heartily, "I wondered why my eyelids were twitching all day. It turns out I met a distinguished person. Junior brother, to have such cultivation upon entering the sect, you must have boundless potential!"
The Deputy Sect Leader Jin had personally promised to send Lu Xuan to the core after a year, and everyone knew about it, including the attendant named Zhou. In his eyes, Lu Xuan was a real distinguished person. Building a good relationship now might help him in the future, as an attendant with neither strength nor talent could only rely on connections to advance.
Since he knew the person in front of him was Lu Xuan, the attendant named Zhou became even more enthusiastic. Without much ado, he directly introduced the situation of the Utensil Pavilion to Lu Xuan. He knew that to build a good relationship with Lu Xuan, it was better to do things well rather than flatter him with words.
"Let me first introduce the general situation of the Utensil Pavilion to Junior Brother Lu. The Utensil Pavilion is divided into five floors, each representing a different grade of weapon. The first floor houses ordinary weapons or some failed iron weapons, which we call pseudo-iron weapons. They are stronger than ordinary weapons but not as good as iron weapons. They are mainly used by the numerous outer sect disciples."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. The number of outer sect disciples is huge, and it is much harder for them to earn contribution points compared to inner sect disciples. Most of them can only afford ordinary weapons.
The attendant named Zhou continued, "The higher you go, the higher the grade of the weapons. The second floor houses low-grade iron weapons, the third floor has mid-grade iron weapons, the fourth floor has high-grade iron weapons, and the top fifth floor houses treasure-grade weapons. We attendants have no access to it, and I don't know what it looks like inside."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be amazed. So, the Utensil Pavilion really has treasure-grade weapons. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but look up at the ceiling, as if trying to see through the floors to the fifth floor. He wondered when he would be able to obtain a treasure-grade weapon, which would greatly enhance his combat power.
Seemingly seeing through Lu Xuan's thoughts, the attendant named Zhou laughed, "With Junior Brother Lu's talent, you will surely obtain a treasure-grade weapon in the future. What level of weapon do you want now? I can give you some advice."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, "How many contribution points are needed for different levels of weapons?"
"Low-grade iron weapons require between 500 to 1,000 contribution points, mid-grade iron weapons require between 1,000 to 10,000 contribution points, high-grade iron weapons have a wide range, from 10,000 to 100,000 contribution points, and treasure-grade weapons start at 100,000 contribution points. Hehe, I've been in the Utensil Pavilion for a long time, but I've never seen anyone exchange for a treasure-grade weapon. The contribution points required are too high."
Hearing the attendant named Zhou, Lu Xuan couldn't help but nod in agreement. The requirement for contribution points is indeed quite high. Now he only has 10,000 contribution points left, which means he can only exchange for the lowest-grade high-grade iron weapon. However, in reality, Lu Xuan cannot spend all his contribution points. After obtaining the weapon, he still needs to use the Wind Sword Sect's cultivation resources to practice martial arts.
