With new money, Fengyu had new plans.

What should he do with all the surplus now? Naturally it was to prepare for the Beast Tide!

After just a few months he scraped together the money to pay back the totem, and after doing so, he also asked for the contact information of the weapon refiner who crafted his flute.

He hadn’t seen a weapon like this even after looking over the many weapons in various shops - clearly, weapons of this calibre could only be purchased through private connections. So, how could such a weapon end up in the hands of the steward?

It can be said that the refiner simply didn’t care as it was an attempt at a product, a training object. Yet when Fengyu looked at it, he felt that there was a subtle aura of a Spiritual Inspiration.

This meant that even over twenty years ago, the refiner had already started forming their inspiration - earlier than him!

In consideration of this, he wanted to first check this refiner’s products and consider purchasing something from them rather than use the connections he had to contact a different refiner, not that he was confident he could easily find one.

The letter he sent soon returned to him, with details about the refiner’s address as well as some information about them.

Information about this refiner was scarce, with little to no knowledge of her background. All it stated was that this refiner was a weapon refiner and cloth sewer, who could create various items and sell them at exorbitant prices.

And indeed, the item Fengyu bought was an earlier item, but the information stated that the refiner had a liking for auxiliary weapons, each of them being extremely unique and strong, yet they were also troubled with selling them compared to when they sold other items.

Fengyu took this as an opportunity, considering that there might be some items for him!

Today, he walked out alone, not taking Zimu with him, as he was busy studying the dozens of scriptures sent over last time. Compared to rare materials, these scriptures were easy to find as they were recorded in their database. It’s just that gaining them would be extremely difficult.

If the hall asked to purchase copies of scriptures, no one would reject and consider it a small favour. But if a private person wished to obtain them, there would be various difficulties.

When Fengyu asked Shanqing when meeting him in the city again about this out of curiosity, he was told that there were indeed buddhist and taoist sects outside, and that some old families in the city also had a few inheritances regarding them. But such families would regard these inheritances as face and would never give them away except if the other person’s face was equally great.

Fengyu’s face...

Chuckling, Fengyu simply chose to throw these things out. Now that he had made arrangements, there was no need to consider things too much. Since everything played out in the end, he had an idea and feeling that this path chosen by Zimu was definitely the most fitting for him, and... the resulting inspiration would be interesting!

The refiner’s courtyard was in the eastern gate, in an inconspicuous spot where many crafters rented courtyards. It was a half-open courtyard with a side gate open, a storefront somewhat visible there.

From outside it really looked a bit boring, as if even the items were of mediocre quality. Coming closer would reveal that each of the items was of superb quality but the price tags were even higher, so even the few that observed the situation left. Especially since each item was clearly covered by a glass cover, the covers also being weapons that were connected with the formation.

Fengyu approached the courtyard according to the address he had in mind, checking several times to ensure it was the correct place, and then stepped in.

Ding Ding Ding

The moment he entered, a small bell sounded. Instantly, a female cultivator walked in front of a door on the side, looking at Fengyu. She didn’t care for his attire nor his cultivation, only nodding slightly then gestured for him to look around.

Fengyu nodded back and entered the store, occasionally glancing over to the female cultivator.

He had seen many beauties, especially when he once passed by a certain district in the northern part of the city. What made him glance over was the radiant light of inspiration, as if this person’s inspiration had become so strong that it couldn’t be locked in their dantian.

Only other cultivators who had inspirations could feel it, so it was normal for few people to recognise this cultivator... but for her to have such strong aura, did she actually have two inspirations?

Fengyu was quite surprised, as this was the first time he met someone with more than one inspiration besides himself!

Even Shanqing was still in the state of awakening a second one, and it was one based on his cultivation technique.

This situation seemed a bit common among inner citizens. Even if they had two or three inspirations, he wouldn’t know since they were hidden. The cultivator here... had she reached the semi-formed stage?!

After a moment’s contemplation, he calmed down and focused on the items on the shelves. Glaring so much, he might seem rude.

There were three shelves on each side, with each shelf representing different items -

Offensive, Defensive, Movement, Auxiliary: Effect Enhancement, Auxiliary: Pendants, Auxiliary: All Rounder.

The left shelf was where the former three could be found, the right shelf contained the latter three.

Looking at the left shelf, he saw a few rather common offensive items, such as Water Whip, Fire Sword, Wind Fan, Earth Cone, Wood Needle... there were no special or unique pieces. The defensive shelf was also a bit poor, containing barely anything of interest. Among the movement items, there were some boats and simpler items like cranes and plates, but also nothing interesting.

It was as if everything here was just done for the purpose of completeness..

But when he looked over to the right shelf -
