Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

Chapter 80 Watching the Almanac Enter the Heavenly Ladder

at this time.

Xing Tong was leisurely sipping tea on a recliner, having just closed a big deal.

"Congratulations, Teacher Xing!"

"What's the congratulations?"

"You made a fortune!"

Xing Tong crossed his legs and said, "Hey, this is hard-earned money, all earned by hammering away."

"How come you have time to come here? Shouldn't you be with Old Man Yan at this hour?"

Xiao Weiqing said, "It's over."

"I see."

Xing Tong sat up straight. "What is it? Did you need something?"

"Yes, something is indeed wrong."

Xiao Weiqing took out the three Crimson Flame Hairs given to him by Yan Zhao.

"Teacher Xing, could you fuse these three Crimson Flame Hairs into the Crimson Dragon Blade?"

Xing Tong leaped to his feet, shouting, "Crimson Flame Hair!"

"Did Yan Zhao give it to you?"

"Does Xing Tong know Senior Yan?" Xiao Weiqing asked curiously.

"Nonsense, everyone at Luojiang Academy knows that back then, Old Ghost Yan stepped in dog poop and made a pact with the Crimson Flame Spirit Monkey. He wandered around the upper, middle, and lower academies, wanting the whole world to know."

Xiao Weiqing: "..."

Let's not talk about this anymore.

"You intend to fuse the Crimson Flame Hairs into the Crimson Dragon?"

Xiao Weiqing said, "Yes, Teacher Yan said this will allow the Crimson Dragon to upgrade and advance to a level 4 spiritual weapon."

Xing Tong angrily retorted, "What a waste!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's just an alchemist, what does he know about weapon crafting?"

"Tell me, how many points is the Crimson Dragon worth?"

Xiao Weiqing replied, "1100 points."

This was the price Wang Hai offered him when he sold it to him.

"This is the selling price; the cost isn't that high."

"I'll ask you again, how many points are these three crimson flame hairs worth?"

Xiao Weiqing suddenly realized, "3 points per stick, I understand, Teacher Xing, you mean it's a bit wasteful."

Xing Tongdao: "It's such a waste. 3,000 yuan a piece, there's no market for it. If you don't want it, I can buy it for 3,500 yuan a piece."

"Then, Ms. Xing, what should I do? Should I keep it for now?"

"For most people, I would suggest they convert their points to increase their strength."

"But you are different."

Xing Tong added, "Although the three Crimson Flame Hairs are not top-tier rare treasures, they are rare because the Crimson Flame Spirit Monkey is a very common species of spirit beast in the Great Xia Dynasty."

"For you, this is a rare opportunity, especially since you are a fire-based magic user. I advise you to keep it for now."

"These three hairs can be used to forge awakened weapons in the future."

"Awakened weapon? Teacher Xing, what is an awakened weapon?" Xiao Weiqing asked hurriedly.

"It's the weapon used after awakening."

Xiao Weiqing: "..."

"Simply put, we generally divide weapons into five levels."

"Ordinary weapons, spiritual weapons, elemental weapons, awakened weapons, and companion weapons."

Xing Tong continued, "The Crimson Flame Hairs can be used as materials for you to forge awakened weapons in the future."

"What about the accompanying weapons?"

Xing Tong took a sip of tea. "Don't aim too high."

"Companion weapons are born with the awakening of extraordinary abilities and will become stronger as the owner's strength increases. They exist between reality and illusion and cannot be forged."

"It even grows?" Xiao Weiqing exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, just like a part of the body, otherwise why would it be called a companion weapon?"

"So, the awakened weapon is the best weapon I can possess?"

"No, there's also a divine artifact."

"A divine artifact?"

Xing Tong nodded solemnly, "That's right, divine artifacts, divine artifacts, born of heaven and earth, each one possesses incredible abilities."

"Actually, you've seen it before too," Xing Tong suddenly said with a smile.

"what?"

Xiao Weiqing was stunned. "I've seen you before?"

"That's right, but it's a copy."

Xiao Weiqing shook his head blankly.

"Idiot, Azure Dragon Stele."

"The Azure Dragon Stele? That's a divine artifact?"

"Of course not the one from the academy. Even the sixth-tier Azure Dragon Stele is still a replica. The real Azure Dragon Stele is a divine artifact."

"Have you seen him before?"

Xing Tong rolled his eyes. "I'd like to, but I'm not strong enough."

"You're not even capable enough?"

As far as he knew, Xing Tong's strength was also at the sixth level. Although he didn't have a combat-type extraordinary talent, he must have learned combat-type talent skills, and his strength was definitely not weak.

Is that strange?

"Most of the teachers at the university haven't seen it. Ask Zhao Jia if he's ever seen it."

"Of your instructors, only Qian Yi and Li Ding have comprehended it; the rest are not strong enough."

Xing Tong took another big gulp of tea. "Let's not talk about this anymore; it's too far removed from your life."

"What are you going to do with these three crimson flame hairs?"

"Keep it for now, thank you, Teacher Xing."

"fine."

"Go find Wang Hai, get a jade box, and keep it safe. But if you ever need points and want to sell it, remember to come find me."

Xiao Weiqing nodded.

After saying goodbye to Xing Tong, they returned to the villa and put the jade box away.

"Thinking about those things is useless. I'll follow the path of magic cultivation, and the Crimson Dragon is just fine."

After the meal, Xiao Weiqing went to the Body Tempering Tower.

An hour later.

The essence of the second fire: (247/1000) silk.

"That's really slow."

Even though Xiao Weiqing went to the body tempering room whenever he had time over the past week, the refining speed of the essence fire still didn't increase much.

Currently, a single refining process yields only 21 to 23 microns.

It should be noted that Qi and Fire can be refined to perfection in about 10 days.

Xiao Weiqing now felt some sympathy for martial arts practitioners, especially body cultivators, finding it hard to imagine the difficulty of their cultivation.

He had heard about it in the Upper Academy's group chat these past two days. Qin Tian was acting like a madman, going to the body tempering room every day for two or three hours at a time.

Other martial arts practitioners are similar; they almost treat the body-tempering room as their home.

late at night.

Xiao Weiqing entered the Heavenly Ladder System.

With only two more days left in the month, and having not played ranked matches for a few days, Xiao Weiqing's ranking has dropped to 50th again.

However, Xiao Weiqing didn't care too much; he came to the Heavenly Ladder mainly to increase his practical experience.

The ladder rewards are 3000 to 2100 points for the 1st to 10th place, and 2000 points for the 11th to 100th place, which makes no difference to him.

His ladder points are less than 6,000, while the 11th place player has almost 20,000.

It's impossible to catch up in the next couple of days, and he doesn't want to either, because everyone's strength is increasing every day, and Xiao Weiqing can no longer win consecutively so easily.

Every battle requires some effort. In the past, I could finish a fight in just a few moves, but now it takes a bit more time.

Of course, if he used his second-realm strength, he believed that apart from those 11 level 6 students, no one could defeat him in one move.

But there's no need. With so many free sparring partners, why not take them? His swordsmanship and parrying skills still have a lot of room for improvement.

Furthermore, the matchmaking time is currently very long, often starting at several minutes, and he doesn't want to waste too much time on the ranked system.

"match."

"Matching..."

......

"Match successful".

"Canglan Academy, Zhao Haizhu, extraordinary talent, level 5."

Xiao Weiqing was surprised, "You're lucky, you were matched in just two minutes."

"Huh? Zhao Haizhu?"

"Damn it! It's you again, Xiao Weiqing."

A figure appeared opposite them, wielding a long spear; it was Zhao Haizhu.

The two have faced off four times, and Zhao Haizhu has lost every single time.

"Damn it! I didn't check the almanac before entering the Heavenly Ladder today."
