Chapter 360: Upgrading from a Bird Gun to a Cannon

~9 min read 1,704 words

The silence in the small grove lasted for a long time before Li Luo and Qin Qin Zhulu gradually came to their senses, swallowing hard.

"This is... a Golden-Threaded White Eye?!"

Li Luo stared at Lu Qing'er and sighed, "You are truly impressive, Qing'er; you actually managed to bring a treasure weapon in from the outside."

The Golden Dragon Dojo is quite special; it seems no one entering can bring outside treasures, so what Li Luo and the others brought upon entry were merely ordinary image tools, with no one possessing a treasure weapon.

Yet now Lu Qing'er suddenly pulled out two Golden-Threaded White Eye treasure weapons, and no one knows how she managed to bring them in.

Lu Qing'er rolled her eyes at Li Luo and said, "I don't have that kind of ability; I just exchanged these from the Treasure Pool a moment ago."

Li Luo shook his head and said, "Qing'er, you are treating us as outsiders too much; even if we knew you violated the rules by bringing treasure weapons in, we would never expose you."

Exchanged from the Treasure Pool? What a joke; he had just entered it himself not long ago, searched for a long time, and barely saw even high-grade White Eyes, let alone Golden-Threaded White Eye treasure weapons; moreover, the exchange price for a single ordinary high-grade White Eye already exceeds five hundred Dao Jin, and these two combined must be at least a thousand, yet how much Dao Jin does Lu Qing'er have? They all know that.

How could this possibly be exchanged?

Qin Qin Zhulu, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lu Qing'er helplessly said, "I am telling the truth; these two treasure weapons were all exchanged from the Treasure Pool, and besides these two, there is also this one... their exchange price is two hundred Dao Jin each, so I spent a total of only six hundred Dao Jin."

She extended her other hand, a frosty ice pearl resting in her palm; cold qi rose, causing the nearby temperature to begin dropping.

Li Luo and Qin Qin Zhulu exchanged glances; Lu Qing'er's expression was far too serious, making them realize that, given her personality, she might truly not be lying.

But... a Golden-Threaded White Eye for two hundred Dao Jin each?

Is this a wholesale price for cabbages?

"What is going on?" Li Luo frowned and asked, also feeling that something was off.

"I don't know either... anyway, I accidentally saw a reef mountain inside the Treasure Pool and found these three treasure weapons there," Lu Qing'er said.

"Could it be because of the remaining half of your Golden Dragon Qi?" Qin Qin Zhulu also asked.

Lu Qing'er shook her head, indicating she didn't know either.

Li Luo sighed and said, "The trials in this Golden Dragon Dojo are truly making it hard for me to understand."

This service of delivering treasures right to one's doorstep is simply too considerate.

"But regardless of the reason, since it has been delivered to our mouths, there is no logic in spitting it out," Li Luo said, no longer suspicious; whatever the situation, since it was delivered, they would take it, as they were about to face a great battle and needed these treasure weapons to boost their combat power.

"I think the same," Lu Qing'er agreed, then handed the Falcon Bow to Li Luo and gave the Black Obsidian Battle Armor to Qin Qin Zhulu.

"Try them and see if they fit."

Li Luo eagerly took the Falcon Bow; the bow body appeared crafted from white crystal, adorned with peculiar patterns; as the bow body extended, it resembled a falcon spreading its wings, the white bowstring taut; when his finger lightly brushed it, energy began to condense faintly, accompanied by a faint falcon cry.

"What a bow!"

Li Luo couldn't help but exclaim; merely holding the Falcon Bow, he could feel the astonishing power within the bow body, and wielding it, he sensed the Light Image Power of heaven and earth flowing toward him.

The Light Image Power within his body also became much more active.

Just from this first touch, he could clearly feel the obvious gap between his previous Blue-Silver Bow, formed by combining two blades, and this one.

Indeed, there is an abyss-like distance between image tools and treasure weapons.

While Li Luo tried his newly acquired "Falcon Bow," Qin Qin Zhulu also donned the Black Obsidian Battle Armor; instantly, his already burly figure became like an iron tower, the black armor shifting with his body, dark light swirling upon it, giving an impression of being indestructible.

Holding the black battle spear he had previously exchanged, and combined with this set of black battle armor, Qin Qin Zhulu suddenly exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"Excellent stuff!"

Qin Qin Zhulu praised it endlessly; although the Black Obsidian Battle Armor was heavy, he excelled in strength, so this item suited him perfectly, and with the protection of the Black Obsidian Battle Armor, even if Lin Suo possessed the strength of the third transformation of the Image Transformation stage, Qin Qin Zhulu believed the opponent could not easily kill him.

When the time came to fight life for life, he would be able to act even more recklessly.

Lu Qing'er also smiled as she gently embedded the Thousand-Year Dark Crystal Pearl into the right-hand Ice Silkworm Silk glove, the supple silk firmly covering it.

Buzz!

In that instant, deep blue cold qi ripples spread across the glove; that cold qi made even Li Luo glance sideways; although Lu Qing'er currently only possessed the strength of the first pattern of the Pattern Generation stage, the cold qi condensed in that palm, if it struck him, would likely cause severe frostbite.

It seemed the "Thousand-Year Dark Crystal Pearl" significantly amplified her cold qi.

"I think you should get a few more of these kinds of 'Ice Pearls' to embed in the future; that way, I've already thought of a nickname for you: you can be called... 'Cold Tyrant'," Li Luo said.

Lu Qing'er glared at him indignantly: "That sounds terrible."

"Or 'Ice Pop Maker'!" Li Luo suggested again.

Lu Qing'er ignored his teasing and asked, "Are the items comfortable to use?"

Li Luo played with the Falcon Bow, nodded with a smile, and said, "Very good; thank you, Qing'er; when we return to Great Xia, I will calculate how much Tianliang Jin the Falcon Bow is worth and make it up to you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'er's pretty face immediately stiffened, and she said, "Li Luo, if you talk nonsense again, I will get angry."

Li Luo helplessly said, "The value of Golden-Threaded White Eye treasure weapons is simply too high."

If these two Golden-Threaded treasure weapons he and Qin Qin Zhulu held were placed in the Golden Dragon Treasure Hall, their total value would be at least five million Tianliang Jin; this was indeed no small sum.

"Isn't the ultimate purpose of you taking these treasure weapons for me?"

Lu Qing'er directly refuted Li Luo, then glared at Qin Qin Zhulu, who was about to speak but stopped, and commanded, "You shut up too!"

Qin Qin Zhulu was speechless; Li Luo started this, I haven't said anything yet, so why scold me and not him?

After speaking, Lu Qing'er ignored them, turned, and walked out of the small grove.

Li Luo watched the slender and delicate figure of the young girl, helplessly smiling; Qin Qin Zhulu asked in a muffled voice, "Do we keep the items?"

Li Luo thought for a moment and said, "Since this is Qing'er's goodwill, we can only accept them; later, we will do our utmost to help her snatch a Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Invitation as a return gift... of course, if you still feel uneasy, you can make it up to me later, and I will use that money to treat Qing'er to meals and outings and such."

Qin Qin Zhulu looked at him and said, "Li Luo, can you at least act like a decent person?"

Li Luo sighed regretfully, then put away the Falcon Bow; Qin Qin Zhulu also removed the Black Obsidian Battle Armor and hid it inside the Space Pearl; these treasures must be reserved for the great battle to achieve the effect of surprise.

Afterwards, the two followed her out of the small grove and suddenly heard a thunderous sound coming from the direction of the distant mountain range.

The boiling crowd noise outside the Treasure Pool was interrupted by this; shocked gazes turned toward the direction where the thunderous sound came from, which was precisely where the Golden Dragon Mountain Range lay.

At this moment, above the Golden Dragon Peak, the highest peak of the mountain range, the energy of heaven and earth had formed a massive vortex; the vortex rotated slowly, truly magnificent.

"This is the omen that the Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Invitation is about to appear!" Lu Qing'er exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.

Li Luo and Qin Qin Zhulu also looked over curiously.

Outside the Duobao Pool, everyone in the area stopped in their tracks, their gazes burning as they stared at the energy vortex in the distant sky. The energy there kept condensing, as if something was being nurtured within.

This nurturing lasted for about half an incense stick's time.

Suddenly someone cried out in shock, and everyone's gaze locked on. Then they saw five beams of golden light suddenly descend from the heavens within the energy vortex, finally plunging toward the peak of the towering Golden Dragon Peak.

"The Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Tokens have appeared!"

"Looks like there are five of them this time!"

"Go, go!"

"..."

Outside the Duobao Pool, the atmosphere instantly boiled over. In the next instant, one figure after another directly set off, speeding toward the Golden Dragon Mountain Range.

"Five Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Tokens."

Li Luo also gazed at this scene, then let out a heavy breath, his gaze turning to Lv Qing'er and Qin Qin Zhulu.

"The good show has finally begun. Let's get ready to move too."

"This time there's only one goal—blow apart that dog head of Lin Suo's, and snatch one of the Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Tokens!"
