Chapter 429: 429
Most professions relied on one's spiritual energy, such as formations, inscriptions, and alchemy . However, armament mastery was different .
Armament mastery depended on one's physical body and Qi . It was easiest to compare it to the mortal occupation of a blacksmith, but because the resources were imbued with energy, the treasures the armament masters made were spiritual treasures .
Having an armament master as a friend was a beneficial thing, so Xue Wei was not against him beginning to train the profession . However, he was confused by the reason given .
The claws that Hei Gou had used were different from standard weapons . They were condensed from his own body, and would grow alongside him, so why would he need to replace them, or change them?
But this was Hei Gou's own thing; if he did not feel like telling Xue Wei, then Xue Wei would not try to pressure him . He knew Hei Gou well . He would never harm him, and at some point, he would tell him what was going on .
"Do you know anything about armament mastery?" Xue Wei asked with a frown . "Although I support your idea, you need some books about armament mastery to begin learning the craft . I have the materials necessary to start practicing armament mastery, so I will give you some when you have the required books to start . Also, I guess you need a furnace of some sort? I am not sure you can use a cauldron, so I think it is a necessity to buy a furnace .
"Maybe we should go to town and find the auction house; they should have the books and the furnace we need . "
Hei Gou's eyes shone brightly when he heard Xue Wei's words . But right now they had joined the army camp, were they allowed to leave it already? There had to be some rules about who and when one could leave .
Xue Wei was not too informed about the rules of the army camp, as they had just arrived recently .
They had been here a few days, but it was as if all of them had been thrown to the army camp and forgotten by everyone else . There were no leaders around, and this was a real dog eat dog world . Even when Xue Wei crippled the Fire Horse, no army representative came to step forward .
As to whether or not there were any Generals or Captains, or other higher-ranked military officials, Xue Wei did not know .
Even when the whole entourage of Fire Horses appeared, no one tried to come and solve the problem .
But Xue Wei had a nagging feeling that they were being observed . It was all a trial, to see if the soldiers were ready for the battlefield .
But as to how long they had to be there to show their worth, he truly had no idea .
Although Xue Wei was confident about joining the battlefield, he was not sure how long it would take before he could enter it .
Hei Gou saw that Xue Wei was deep in thought . He smiled slightly as he knew that his friend was always busy and shook his head .
He was not in a hurry to learn armament mastery, so he just left the room silently, allowing Xue Wei to continue thinking in peace .
It did not take long for Xue Wei to return to his senses, but he did not go to find Hei Gou right away . Instead, he began cultivating, but before he had the time to enter a focused cultivation stance, he heard someone outside the doors yelling his name .
Feeling unhappy, Xue Wei flashed in the air and arrived next to the barrier . Although the barrier could block attacks, it did not block sounds or visuals, so when he looked towards the courtyard entrance, he saw that a group of soldiers had gathered outside .
These soldiers were looking at him with reverence, and their eyes glistened with excitement .
"Sir Xue, we have gotten our hands on the resources you asked for, and we would like to hear what exactly could be used as a fee?"
Xue Wei thought for a moment . "My friend wants to become an armament master, so I would like books on armament mastery . I would like resources that can be used by an armament master, and also a furnace . It does not have to be overly expensive or rare; just normal items will do . "
Hearing this, all of them were shocked . This was too simple, wasn't it? One of the men stumped forwards, and then he waved his hand, and two storage treasures appeared in his hand .
"I am an armament master," the man said . "This storage treasure contains some books on armament mastery and some basic resources . It also has a beginner furnace . Would this do?"
Xue Wei smiled and nodded his head . He accepted the two storage treasures and found materials for two two-colored Rainbow Pills inside them .
Seeing this, he withdrew two jade vials and handed them to the man who gave him the things . "I concocted some pills some time ago," he said, "here are two two-colored Rainbow Pills . I will keep the materials . If you find anything wrong with the pill, come find me . "
The armament master was shocked, and his eyes bulged when he hugged the two pills to his bosom . These two pills would change his life, and he knew that he could not allow anyone to take them from him .
Thinking like this, he sat down on the ground, placed the first jade vial into his storage treasure, and then ate the first pill .
Suddenly a lot of energy erupted in the surrounding air, and everyone could sense how his Qi levels were rising drastically . The might of the two-colored Rainbow Pills were not to be looked down upon .
