Chapter 91

The weapons used by cultivators are not called weapons; the better ones are called magical treasures, and the poorer ones are called magical tools.

Although Ding Ning now possesses earth fire, he still lacks the strength to refine magical treasures. However, refining some low-level magical tools should be manageable.

After inheriting the Wealth Deity’s legacy, Ding Ning had no interest in ordinary magical tools. He even doubted whether he could activate them.

On the contrary, he had a strong affinity for gold, silver, and jewels. Now that he owned ten kilograms of silver, he felt a strong urge to refine a magical tool.

Weapon, I need a weapon!

Recently, when facing enemies, Ding Ning relied on close combat with his fists and feet, long-range attacks with coins, or talismans. However, these methods were not very powerful or convenient. If he had a suitable weapon, his combat strength would significantly increase.

When Ding Ning was young, he once listened to a storytelling session. He particularly admired the generals who used large hammers, imagining how majestic they looked riding horses and swinging hammers, charging through thousands of soldiers.

So, Ding Ning also fantasized about one day wielding a large hammer, smashing down on enemies with the force of a mountain, which would surely make them feel overwhelmed and invincible.

However, Ding Ning now understood that a large hammer was not something just anyone could use. His current arm strength was insufficient. He would need to wait until he could refine body-strengthening pills and build up his body before he could even consider it. Moreover, the amount of silver required to forge a large hammer was too much, and his current financial resources could not afford it.

Apart from the large hammer, the weapon Ding Ning liked second best was the spear.

Not a machine gun or a pistol, but a long spear!

White-robed, silver-spear young generals were typically the main characters, at least very impressive and attractive to women. Ding Ning had always been fat and never thought he would become a main character.

But now things were different. He had lost a lot of weight and could continue to lose more. His thoughts began to wander, and the image of a white-robed, silver-spear general gradually took shape in his mind.

Wearing a white robe and wielding a silver spear, shouting, "I am Ding Ning from Green Mountain Village," in a crisis should have the same effect as "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan."

If he were still the fat guy, it would probably only have the effect of "I am Zhang Fei from Yan."

Now that he had a storage ring, carrying things was very convenient, and carrying a long spear was no longer a problem.

Ding Ning was a man of action. Once he had an idea, he acted on it immediately. After having this thought, he directly went to an internet cafe.

He turned on a computer and began searching for suitable steel in the vicinity of Haibin.

This spear had to be a combination of steel and silver. Pure steel or other materials would not work for Ding Ning. He needed to add precious metals like gold and silver to make it suitable.

Ding Ning did not dare to think about a gold weapon yet, but with the silver he had, he could forge a bright silver spear.

After a while, Ding Ning found two places: one was the construction materials market in Haibin, and the other was a steel plant in Zhaoyang City.

Zhaoyang was 200 kilometers away from Haibin, a bit too far. Ding Ning decided to go to the construction materials market in Haibin.

He left the internet cafe and took a taxi directly to the construction materials market.

Upon arriving, he saw construction and decoration materials everywhere. Ding Ning was not interested in anything else; he was only looking for steel.

However, after searching for a while, Ding Ning was disappointed. The steel here was mainly for construction, suitable for building houses and bridges, but far from suitable for refining weapons.

Reluctantly, Ding Ning returned to the compound. Going to Zhaoyang would take more than a day, and he could not leave immediately as he still had unfinished business here.

Upon returning to the compound, Ding Ning noticed that the people in the yard were looking at him strangely.

It felt like they were looking at a criminal. People used to greet him actively, but today no one approached him. Guangzi even quickly retreated into the house when he saw Ding Ning, as if trying to avoid him.

Something was up.

Ding Ning slowly walked to his room and did not immediately enter. Instead, he extended his divine sense.

With a radius of 3.6 meters, he could see a large part of the room. His divine sense swept through and discovered three people inside!

One of them was Old Wang from the lottery station, who was nervously hiding in the inner room. On either side of the door, two men were lying in wait, ready to pounce as soon as he entered.

Ding Ning detected a police-issued gun on one of the men and immediately identified them as police officers.

"These guys actually called the police. They are here to arrest me."

The two police officers had rough faces and were dressed in plain clothes, but their luck in wealth was extremely good.

Ding Ning focused his left eye and suddenly noticed that their wealth luck was somewhat dark.

This was a phenomenon he had never seen before. After entering the second stage of Qi Induction, his ability to observe wealth had changed. The dark wealth luck clearly indicated ill-gotten gains.

"As police officers, they are enriching themselves through ill-gotten gains. Such people are even more harmful to society than some criminals."

Ding Ning's face showed a cold smile. Since these police officers were in plain clothes, he would not blame himself for acting confused.

Thinking this, Ding Ning took out his phone, turned on the camera, and quietly placed it on the door frame to record the situation inside. After setting it up, he stepped into the room.

"Grab him!"

The police officer on the left shouted as soon as Ding Ning entered.

After Old Wang reported the incident, they had been lying in wait here. Now that Ding Ning had returned, they naturally intended to apprehend him first.

The two strong plainclothes officers pounced from either side. Ding Ning was prepared and suddenly lunged to the left, lowering his body and delivering a powerful elbow strike to the police officer's stomach!

This officer was armed, so Ding Ning had to neutralize him first.

The blow almost made the officer vomit, his eyes turned white, and he could not speak, collapsing to the ground.

Ding Ning's strike was successful. He dodged a punch from the other officer, grabbed his hair, and forcefully pressed his head down, forcing the officer to bend over.

"You dare to—"

The officer on the ground, seeing the situation was bad, tried to accuse Ding Ning of assaulting a police officer. Ding Ning would not give him the chance, delivering a powerful knee strike that made the officer bleed and lose his ability to resist. The words were forced back into his stomach.

The officer who had been struck by the elbow was still trying to reach for his gun. Ding Ning walked over, stepped on his wrist, and twisted it forcefully.

"A few ignorant scoundrels, daring to plot against me. Let me tell you, you picked the wrong person!"

Ding Ning's foot was not small, and the sound of the officer's hand cracking was audible. The officer screamed in pain, trying to say something, but Ding Ning kicked him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

After knocking out the two police officers, Ding Ning smiled and approached the terrified Old Wang. "Old Wang, you actually brought these scoundrels to plot against me. I will now take you to the police station and let the law deal with you."

Old Wang was almost wetting his pants. This young man was too fierce.

Hearing about the police station, Old Wang was shocked. "They are police officers. You actually dared to assault police officers. You are dead."

"Phew! These scoundrels are also called police? Don't try to fool me. Since you dared to plot against me, you must bear the consequences!"

Ding Ning slapped Old Wang, knocking him to the ground, then took out a rope and tied up all three of them. He used a stinky sock to gag them, then splashed them with cold water to wake them up and led them out of the room.

The armed police officer tried to struggle, but Ding Ning slapped him twice, making him give up.

The people in the compound looked at Ding Ning with fear. They knew the police had come to arrest him and had already concluded that he was not only a charlatan but also a criminal.

They did not expect this young man to be so fierce. After a commotion in the room, he actually brought out the police officers tied up.

Guangzi approached cautiously. "Brother Ding, you tied them up. Do you know who they are?"

"Knowing that scoundrels were plotting against me, you didn't warn me. Get lost!"

Ding Ning had never liked this mother and son, and now he did not want to show them any kindness.

Guangzi, scolded, did not dare to speak and retreated.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the police station!"

Ding Ning pulled hard, and the three stumbled behind him. Old Wang was better off, but the two police officers felt utterly humiliated. If they were taken back to the police station in this state, their careers would likely be over. It was unprecedented for criminals to treat police officers like this.

Police officers on duty being beaten up by criminals and then taken back to the police station was a great disgrace to the police force!
