"The first to sixth-rank odd weapons are still conventional, but to achieve a seventh-rank odd weapon, it must contain a trace of Martial Arts Realm."

"At the seventh rank, an odd weapon is no longer just a weapon; it often becomes life-linked with its user."

How does one attain a seventh-rank odd weapon?

Either at least a sixth-rank Divine General level Artifact Refiner painstakingly creates it.

Or at least a sixth-rank Divine General continuously nourishes a sixth-rank odd weapon with their life, infusing it with their comprehended Realm, ultimately allowing the sixth-rank odd weapon to ascend to the seventh-rank odd weapon or even become an eighth or ninth-rank treasure.

The latter is the path of a ’Life-bound Divine Weapon’, nurturing only one or two such weapons in a lifetime for a sixth-rank Divine General or even a seventh, eighth, ninth, or tenth rank—any more is beyond reach.

Life-bound Divine Weapon, growing together.

This is the choice of the vast majority of high-rank Divine Generals.

And nearly eighty percent of the seventh-rank odd weapons and above that circulate in the market are Life-bound Divine Weapons left by past powerful individuals after their demise. These are also referred to as ’Treasures’ or, for those older, ’Ancient Divine Weapons’.

Only a few are refined by Artifact Refiners.

This time, the seventh-rank odd weapon ’God Slaying Spear’ auctioned by Feiyu Trading House is an ’Ancient Divine Weapon’, left by a deceased tenth-rank Divine General many years ago. Although its contained Realm has worn down over time, it still remains a seventh-rank odd weapon. Its power is formidable, yet secondary; the main point is that after obtaining and refining it, one can constantly comprehend the Martial Arts Realm within the ’God Slaying Spear’. For a sixth-rank Divine General, it provides a multi-angled understanding and cultivation of the Realm, potentially adding a new Realm.

For those below sixth rank, refining the God Slaying Spear and comprehending the Realm within it is akin to constantly cultivating in a third-level Cave Mansion, with constant insight into the Realm, greatly increasing the hope of ascending to sixth-rank.

"Able to kill enemies."

"Able to comprehend."

"The price of a seventh-rank odd weapon is not low."

Yan Chuan wasn’t hopeful; he was just curious who would eventually acquire this ’God Slaying Spear’ and at what price.

A sixth-rank odd weapon is worth at least 500 Primordial Pills.

Seventh-rank?

3000?

5000?

Or 10000?

Yan Chuan anticipated.

...

Ten days until the auction.

Yan Chuan wasn’t in a hurry.

He rented a ’Divine General’s Courtyard’ in Five Blessings City as a temporary residence. Actually, it’s just moving from Golden Talisman City to Five Blessings City, while his primary focus remains in Tan Valley and in Heavenly Ladder City. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Except for Ding Xiang, who clung to him originally and now prefers to stay in Five Blessings City rather than return to Tan Valley, nothing else has changed.

Including the ’Divine General’s Courtyard’.

"So-called ’Divine General’s Courtyard’ is essentially a ’Primordial Qi Quiet Room’." Yan Chuan leased an ’Earth Level Courtyard’ in Five Blessings City, comparable to a third-tier ’Primordial Qi Quiet Room’ in the entire region of Mo Yin Continent, able to ’calm the mind’, ’regulate gravity’, and ’gather Primordial Qi.’

Releasing Essence Stone Essence.

Gathering Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

This is ’Divine General’s Courtyard’, also ’third-tier Primordial Qi Quiet Room.’

In major King Cities and major forces, there are generally similar cultivation treasure lands, such as Golden Talisman City in Hunxi Territory and Five Blessings City in Danhu Realm, each having a ’Divine General’s Courtyard’ aka ’Primordial Qi Quiet Room’, and the Genius Contract given by Wanxiang Pavilion includes the right to use a ’fourth-tier third-level Cultivation Cave Mansion.’ As for Yan Chuan’s first friend in Innate Realm Sky Ladder City, Zhang Tao, his family has everything from quiet rooms to cave mansions to Immortal Mountains.

And then look at Tan Valley—

"We have nothing!"

Yan Chuan shook his head.

Only by stepping outside does one realize one’s insignificance, realize one’s shortcomings, and know from what aspects one should catch up.

The first to catch up with is the ’Cultivation Quiet Room’!

"A ’Cultivation Quiet Room’ seems simple, but it’s not something that can be piled up only with Primordial Pills and resources; building such a cultivation treasure land requires talent—"

Talent is the most precious and lacking in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Alchemy, Artifact, Talisman, and Formation.

Tan Valley is barren.

"Perhaps, I should slightly shift some energy towards the ’Alchemy, Artifact, Talisman, and Formation’ field. I need not be deeply proficient, but just to quickly cultivate a batch of seeds in these areas."

["Mutual Teaching and Learning" (Level Three): Your explanations will enhance the Listener’s comprehension efficiency by 100%, and their comprehension and thoughts will be fed back to you, granting you corresponding ’Experience.’ You can filter the Listeners, choosing who can or cannot listen to your lecture.]

(To advance to the next level, 10 million Experience is needed.)

...

Lecture.

Listener.

Comprehension efficiency.

’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ can ’teach’ more than just Martial Arts.

However, human abilities are limited.

Yan Chuan has already invested all his energy into Martial Arts; to be greedy for everything leaves no energy to delve into the ’Alchemy, Artifact, Talisman, and Formation’ techniques, each of which requires a lifetime of study.

"Don’t bite off more than you can chew."

"The ’Alchemy, Artifact, Talisman, and Formation’ are more for generating wealth, but I have ’Treasure Rock’ and ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ I can安心习武,教学就能’生财’,不必再求其他."

"As for the talents missing in Tan Valley, I can recruit from outside; my energy is limited, and the path of Martial Arts is vast and profound, enough for me to explore my entire life."

Yan Chuan’s thoughts were clear.

...

Food must be eaten bite by bite, roads must be walked step by step.

Yan Chuan is continuously growing, always becoming stronger, never stopping, and he does not rush.

After spending a large sum in Five Blessings City to buy the ’Purple Gold Shuttle’, Yan Chuan devoted considerable energy to researching this odd weapon, even dedicating an ’Derivation Skill’ task slot to develop the ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Secret Method’—

[Task Three]

[Research Project Name: Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Secret Method (Difficulty: Geng★★★★★)]

[Inspiration: 0]

[Completing the task can earn ’Experience +250,000’, ’Spiritual +250,000’.]

...

"Geng Five Secret Method."

With the ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Shuttle’ available for reference, and the original version of the ’Fourth-Rank Purple Gold Secret Method’ as a guide, developing the ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Secret Method’ properly will not be too difficult.

But Yan Chuan’s ambition is vast—

"The ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Shuttle’ has five forms, each divided into three layers. If I only develop the secret method based on the original version and the Purple Gold Shuttle itself, it still won’t be weak, and can still unleash the power of the ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Shuttle’, but it would still be somewhat lacking."

"If I combine the ’Purple Gold Shuttle’s’ first form ’Purple Gold Sword’ with ’Dugu Nine Swords’, combine the second form ’Mountain Drilling Cone’ with ’Six Meridian Divine Sword’, combine the third form ’Heavy Mountain Shield’ with ’Dragon Elephant Wisdom’, combine the fourth form ’Purple Gold Armor’ with ’Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill’, and combine the fifth form ’Purple Gold Battle Boots’ with ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’—"

"An odd weapon."

"Combined with Five Sects Eight Realms Ultimate Skills."

"Developing such a ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Secret Method’ might not only perfectly unleash the full power of the ’Purple Gold Shuttle’s’ five major forms, but might even exceed a level, bursting with extraordinary power, allowing the ’Purple Gold Shuttle’ to exert twelve-fold or even fifteen-fold of its power!"

With ’Derivation Skill’, Yan Chuan’s ambition has never been small.

Combining the ’Purple Gold Shuttle’ with Eight Realms Ultimate Skills might create a miracle.

While others might consider how long the ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Shuttle’ can last, or whether it will be obsolete by the time the secret method is developed, Yan Chuan doesn’t have to worry at all.

"With ’Derivation Skill’, I can easily create a method without needing decades."

"I also have ’Treasure Rock’, even if my cultivation improves in the future, the ’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Shuttle’ can still be strengthened, continue to be used, and even be strengthened to accompany me all the way to the War God Realm or even Overlord Realm!"

Given this, Yan Chuan certainly plans to invest more energy and pay more attention.

"Purple Gold Shuttle—"

From this day on, Yan Chuan had another task.

...

’Fifth-Rank Purple Gold Shuttle’ consists of 365 small shuttles, divided into five major forms, with each form divided into three layers: the first layer requires using 36 small shuttles, the second layer requires 108 small shuttles, and the third layer requires 365 small shuttles.

This odd weapon is indeed forged by a genius, something most people can’t even imagine.

Hard to design!

Hard to refine!

Also hard to master.

To master the ’Purple Gold Shuttle’, one must first refine it, using their own True Qi to infuse the odd weapon, making 365 small shuttles communicate as one, combining into a single whole, to then be initially driven.

But even with the initial refinement, human energy is limited, heart power is limited, even if Chen Ze can multitask, three heads and six arms with four swords and two sabers reaching the limit, more is difficult.

But Yan Chuan needs to simultaneously control 365 small shuttles, a difficulty comparable to ascending the heavens.

However, this differs from Chen Ze’s ’One Heart Multiple Use’, driving the Purple Gold Shuttle is more akin to Gongsun Zhi’s ’Yin Yang Inverted Blade Technique’, where Gongsun Zhi holds a serrated golden knife in one hand, a black sword in the other, and when performing saber and sword skills simultaneously, he harmonizes yin and yang, softness and hardness complementing each other.

During battles using the inverted blade technique, the black sword, initially gentle, abruptly strikes aggressively, becoming an extremely fierce saber skill, while the golden knife stabs, taps, and cuts along a single sword’s nimble path, transforming saber into sword, sword into saber, with fantasy beyond bounds.

One holds a saber.

One holds a sword.

Would Gongsun Zhi also know ’Left and Right Mutual Combat’?

Of course not.

The ’Yin Yang Inverted Blade Technique’ he cultivates is fundamentally different from Little Dragon Girl and Chen Ze’s ’Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship’, purely a special case, through rigorous study and practice, eventually becoming second nature.

Chen Ze abandoned four swords and two sabers, and three heads with six arms could simultaneously display five or six different martial arts.

But Gongsun Zhi, without saber and sword, leaving the ’Yin Yang Inverted Blade Technique’, cannot perform any martial arts with both hands.

Yan Chuan driving the ’Purple Gold Shuttle’, similar to Gongsun Zhi with the ’Yin Yang Inverted Blade Technique’s situation, though the difficulty is a hundredfold greater.

"Not to mention fully driving, even just 36 small shuttles, the difficulty of just the first layer of the five major forms is already challenging."

"This odd weapon!"

"Truly insane!"

"No wonder it doesn’t sell."

After refining and attempting control, dozens of small shuttles flew uncontrollably, almost harming himself first before others, becoming a strange weapon version of Seven Injuries Fist.

"The ’Purple Gold Secret Method’ is the key to unlocking the Purple Gold Shuttle; without this secret method, I’m simply relying on brute force to control the Purple Gold Shuttle, too difficult, too foolish, too weak."

Yan Chuan hurriedly retrieved each small shuttle, pondering, observing, and thinking in his hands—
