Dyon’s fatigue seemed to be wiped away in an instant, filling him with brimming amounts of mental energy.
‘This…’ It should have been impossible. A mental energy recovery pill was within the dao of array alchemy, but it was classified as a Moon Level pill. For it to be ranked so highly even within the pages of the that book, it could only be imagined how difficult the materials were to procure, not to mention the difficulty of concocting it.
But, his master had just weaved together some simple common level plants that were completely and chemically unstable. Yet, a single drop of blood had stabilized it, causing heaven defying effects.
The 25th White Mother giggled. ‘Your master is amazing, no?’
Dyon’s eyes glowed. ‘Absolutely!’ He said sincerely.
Hearing this, Dyon’s master smiled so sweetly that honey seemed to drip from her lips. She was truly happy.
‘Go fight to your heart’s content, my precious disciple. Don’t worry about how I did this, I’ll explain it to you in time. When you feel you mental energy running out, I will concoct another pill for you. Treat this as training.’
Dyon nodded, eager to slip back into his selfless state. The last thing he heard were a few more words from his master.
‘You cannot defeat him easily without the help of a weapon. However, I do not want you to use the Dragon King either. You once forewent the Dragon King for a common level weapon, but you switched too quickly. Until your weapon’s master will breaks into the 2nd intent level, you’re only allowed to use common level weapons.
‘I’ll only allow you to break these rules I’ve set for you if you’re facing someone too far beyond your cultivation level. Other than that, don’t come pouting to me.’
Dyon groaned slightly, but still acquiesced to his master’s commands. The 2nd intent level didn’t seem to bad, but one had to remember that his weapon’s master will was at the 1st will level right now. Yet, he could learn any weapon he picked up to the 9th will level, and with a little practice, the 1st intent level.
What did that mean? It meant that the weapon’s master will allowed him an entire large cultivation realm advantage. Meaning if he reached the 2nd intent stage, any weapon he picked up would enter the 1st dao stage immediately, and the 2nd with practice. Knowing this, it was obvious how difficult it was to reach that level.
The 25th White Mother giggled. ‘Good. The techniques I’ve chosen for you are [3 Forms Blade], [Piercing Through the Earth], and [Chaotic Halberd].’
As Dyon’s master spoke, three arrays whirled behind Dyon’s back, forming three weapons. A sword, a spear and a halberd. Knowing that Dyon didn’t have his life ring, and thus didn’t have access to the Celestial Deer Sect’s weapon’s room, this was the best choice.
The weapons were incredibly simple, however they were very sturdy. There was nothing flashy about them, even their color was a dull grey.
However, when Dyon grabbed for the halberd, flashing the other two weapons into his spatial ring, he realized just how heavy it was. His broad sword was 700 000 jin, but this halberd was more than double that!
Dyon could no longer remain in the skies by circulating his movement technique. He immediately crashed into the ground, conveniently dodging yet another sweep of techniques.
‘Is this what it’s like to have a master?’ Dyon felt another headache incoming. How could a common level weapon be so heavy?
At this point, it wasn’t just his master laughing, but also the other spirits. They seemed to be enjoying watching a future genius struggle so much.
‘This material is known as ‘Training Iron’. Despite being at the common level, it has incredible density and very high durability comparable to that of a material of the transcendent level, and even supreme level.’
Dyon frowned, lifting the halberd up with all of his strength and diving to one side to dodge Elder Bowa once again.
The ground he stepped on creaked and cracked. Even his bones seemed to want to collapse, but he straightened himself to block a palm from Elder Bowa with the shaft of the Halberd.
He slid backward roughly, not because he had the power to block Elder Bowa, but because the weapon was so heavy that Elder Bowa had trouble pushing it back.
A million jin was the threshold for celestials, very few saints could match it. It was no wonder a mere fifth grade celestial had trouble with it.
Seeing Dyon struggle, the spirits continued to laugh, mostly because they knew his life wasn’t in danger.
‘The reason this material is so great yet still of the common level is because it isn’t suitable for making weapons.
‘The material is too tough to inscribe intricate arrays into. And, even if you did, the material is not good for conducting energy of any kind. Usually, if a material is bad at conducting conventional energy, for instance, it might be good at conducting runic flames or soul strength and could thus be used as a weapon of that category. However, this material is unable to conduct anything.
‘Therefore, it’s colloquially known as ‘Training Iron’, but officially known as ‘Dwarf’s Diamond’. As for the story behind why that it’s official name, you should probably focus on not dying first. Go on, master believes in you!’
