The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
23. Chapter 23: Who's of No Use? (4)
However, as soon as Gu Ruoyun stared at that spiritual weapon, she understood why it remained untouched within the Weapon Refining Sect's formation.
How should this be explained? The sword is a spiritual weapon. But unfortunately, the spiritual weapon was completely worn out. Its surface was covered in rust and stains, like a great cultivator who lost his spiritual energy and was now no different from the average person.
Of course, observations like this only apply to the average person.
But is this for Gu Ruoyun? A genius from the Eastern Peak Lands, and the Ancient Divine Pagoda Lord. Saving this once great spiritual weapon was not a problem, all he needed was time.
"Zixie, incidentally, I don't have a gun. This spiritual weapon might have lost its spiritual energy, but it was still stronger than ordinary weapons. Moreover, the powerful spiritual energy I felt must have come from the spiritual energy he absorbed during my cultivation. That's what brought me here!"
The voice in his soul became calm. After a long pause, Zixie's voice finally reached Gu Ruoyun's ears.
"Then you have to take it first. We will find higher grade weapons for you in the future. Although this might be a spiritual weapon, this one was the lowest grade. It doesn't match your status."
Gu Ruoyun could not help it. His mouth twitched, and he rubbed his head desperately.
"Does this person think spiritual weapons are as common as cabbages?" He asked himself, "One low-grade spiritual weapon is enough to start a fight among many expert cultivators, what else is a high-grade spiritual weapon?"
"Let's go. I'm almost done with my cultivation. It's time we left."
Many people had gathered outside the cave. Upon seeing Gu Ruoyun walking out of the cave, the crowd fell silent before asking a question.
"Gu Ruoyun, what is as useless as you do in a place like this? I felt a strange fluctuation from the cave a while ago. Some precious treasures must have appeared in this cave. Hand over the treasure and maybe I'll even save your life!"
Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows and matched the voice that spoke to a green-clothed young man among the crowd. His lips curled wryly.
The young man smirked, "Who else can I talk about? Aren't you useless as everyone knows? Gu Ruoyun, be careful and hand over the treasure. Otherwise, I will make you kneel down and bow before me. After all, your brother won't even know if you die here, ha..."
Ha...
Before the final laugh could be heard, the crowd heard a loud boom and the young man's body turned into a beam of light and was thrown into the sky with a roar before being thrown back to the ground violently.
The other crowd's thoughts became empty. They slowly turned their heads towards Gu Ruoyun's weak-looking body.
Gu Ruoyun swung her hand as if nothing had happened, not even bothering to glance at the young man on the ground.
"He's pretty strong. This slap really hurt my hand."
The young man might be little master Ling's bachelor, but his strength was still comparable to that little master. He was also level five in the Qi Collection ranks. Gu Ruoyun was only a useless person at level three, yet a single slap from her could make her fly through the air?
Although he said that he was strong enough and that he had actually injured his hand, the crowd wondered if this woman knew that he insulted her and did not praise her.
"Ah right," Gu Ruoyun's gaze turned as she smiled at the audience, "Is there anyone else calling me useless? Do you dare to go out?"
In fact, once he signed a contract with the Ancient Divine Pagoda, Gu Ruoyun's body and soul underwent a cleansing process. Not only did it increase his soul power, but it also increased his body's abilities in every aspect. Unless one suddenly broke through the Qi Collection level and reached the rank of Martial Soldier, none of them were a match for him.
Seeing Gu Ruoyun in her current state, the people in the crowd just looked at each other. None of them dared to step out the entire time.
