A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 318 Swallowing Source

Ximen Kankan took a torch and walked into a cave with Duan Rong.

After passing through the not-too-long passage at the entrance of the cave, one suddenly entered a space with considerable depth.

I saw several torches lit deep in the cave. There were several figures piling broken weapons onto a cart. When the cart was full, one of them pulled it into a deep passage in the stone wall. Not long after, another empty cart was pushed over...

When Duan Rong and Ximen Kankan walked in with torches, the people over there noticed them, but they just glanced over and then buried their heads in their work...

The broken weapons in this cave are just some scrap metal and are not important things.

Duan Rong looked at the broken weapons piled up into more than ten small hills in front of him, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he murmured, "This is too spectacular!?"

"Spectacular? It's just a pile of scrap copper and iron. What's so spectacular about it?" Ximen Kankan looked at Duan Rong in confusion.

Duan Rong smiled, the excitement on his face having faded. He looked at the cave in front of him with deep eyes and said, "It's nothing spectacular. I've just never seen so many broken weapons."

Duan Rong said this as he slowly walked to the nearest pile of broken weapons. He picked up a knife with a broken blade and gripped the hilt tightly with his right hand. His eyes flickered as he said to himself, "Read the weapon spirit."

In the dark cave, a set of data floated before Duan Rong's eyes.

Object: Dragon Sparrow Knife
Spirit Level: Level 4

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 4 (satisfied)
Devouring Effect: Whisk Mountain Blade Level 1

Duan Rong looked at the data before his eyes, his eyes jumped, and he thought to himself, "Swallow it."

It is a fourth-level weapon spirit, but its martial arts is only at the first level, which means that this whisk-splitting mountain knife must be a martial art at the true qi realm.

As the data panel in front of him collapsed and disappeared, Duan Rong threw back the broken weapon in his hand.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he suddenly picked up a black object at his feet. The shape of the object was a bit strange, and Duan Rong couldn't figure out what it was used for.

With the help of the torch light, Duan Rong looked carefully at the black thing in his hand. It looked like a black hoop. No one knew how long it had been thrown here. The surface was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Duan Rong wiped off the dust and felt it was cold to the touch.

Duan Rong clutched the cold object and said to himself, "Read the spirit of the weapon."

Then, another set of data appeared in front of Duan Rong.

Object: Black iron kneepads

Spirit Level: Level 7

Devouring requirements: Host's spiritual power level 7 (not met)

Devouring Effect: The fourth level of the Cloud Cliff Step

Duan Rong looked at the data in front of him with a stunned expression.

This thing turns out to be a knee pad!

Moreover, such an inconspicuous black thing is actually a seventh-level spirit weapon.

Cloud Cliff Step?! This is obviously a light skill at the True Qi level!

It’s a pity that it’s already the fourth level and I can’t devour it myself!

Duan Rong clutched the black kneepad in his hand, turned his head to look at Ximen Kankan, and asked, "Where did these broken and discarded weapons come from?"

Ximen Kankan scratched his head and replied uncertainly, "Some were eliminated by fellow disciples. Others were looted from the enemy, who tossed them here because they felt they were useless."

Duan Rong nodded, his eyes deep.

He really needs a Qi-level light skill now.

Light Kung Fu skills are very helpful whether in escaping or fighting.

He has already entered the Qi realm, and right in front of him is a huge source of devouring. As long as he looks for it, he will definitely find a weapon that can devour Qi with the lightness of Qi realm!
When Duan Rong thought of this, he suddenly started searching through the mountain of discarded weapons.

Ximen Kankan looked at Duan Rong, who was rummaging through the pile of broken weapons, and said, "Why are you looking through these junk? If you don't have a weapon, I'll give you one when I've mastered my blacksmithing skills!"

Duan Rong looked at Ximen Kankan, smiled slightly, and said, "Kankan, come here too and help me look for it!"

"What are you looking for?"

Duan Rong frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Look for something on the legs or feet..."

Ximen Kankan couldn't help clicking his lips when he heard this. He looked at Duan Rong with a strange look in his eyes and said, "The thing on your feet?! Tsk, tsk, tsk... What kind of fetish do you have? How come I don't understand that you like this?"

Duan Rong looked at Ximen Kankan's eyes and knew what he was thinking about.

Duan Rong frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Go over there and help me find it. Oh, right! The thing on your waist might be fine too..."

"Waist?" Ximen Kankan blinked and said, "This tastes quite normal..."

Ximen Kankan muttered as he walked diagonally across from Duan Rong and started rummaging through the pile of broken weapons.

Duan Rong glanced at Ximen Kankan's back and shook his head secretly.

Duan Rong saw that he had been searching for a long time but still couldn't find it, and he suddenly became anxious. He raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he released his spiritual consciousness.

Duan Rong only released his spiritual sense for a moment before retracting it, but at that moment, Duan Rong had already spotted something.

He took two steps to the right, picked up a few broken weapons at his feet, and suddenly saw a brass carved anklet lying on the ground.

Just as Duan Rong picked up the anklet, he heard a loud noise coming from Ximen Kankan's side.

"what happened?"

Duan Rong was startled and immediately dodged to the side of Ximen Kankan. He looked carefully and saw Ximen Kankan holding a large copper hammer in his hand and standing in front of the pile of broken weapons. The head of the copper hammer was as big as a human head.

However, a big hole appeared on the pile of weapons in front of Ximen Kankan, and many broken weapons rolled to his feet.

Ximen Kankan turned his head and looked at Duan Rong behind him, grinning and said, "It's okay, I just pulled this thing up from the bottom."

Duan Rong secretly sighed and said, "This kid will make a fuss wherever he goes!"

Seeing that Ximen Kankan was fine, Duan Rong looked at the brass carved anklet in his hand in the light of the fire. The anklet was polished and round with exquisite patterns, and was obviously a good thing.

"The sect is truly magnanimous. They treat this kind of stuff like garbage as trash..."

In fact, these things may be considered top-notch products in the secular world.

But in the eyes of the Taiyi Sect's top leaders, these mundane things are nothing but a burden.

What's more, this sect, which has been around for thousands of years, has a bloated organization and redundant staff. Many things have become rotten inside and out.

Duan Rong held the brass carved anklet and said to himself, "Read the spirit of the instrument."

In the dark cave, a set of data appeared in front of Duan Rong.

Object: Brass carved foot ring

Spirit Level: Level 4 Devouring Requirements: Host Spirit Level 4 (Satisfied)
Devouring Effect: First Level of Baihua Cuo Shen Bu

Duan Rong looked at the data appearing in front of him and his heart moved.

It was indeed a lightness skill, and it was the first level of lightness skill in the Qi realm.

"Hundred Flowers Wrong Body Step?!"

This name seems a bit girly?
Duan Rong hesitated for a moment, but secretly said, "Swallow!"

As the data panel in front of him collapsed and disappeared, Duan Rong stared at the brass carved anklet in his hand. This thing was exquisitely made and very beautiful. Even though he was a man, he liked it very much.

He will go to see Xiao Yu later. Xiao Yu will definitely be happy when she sees this thing.

However, this thing is just a second-hand item found in the garbage dump. If Xiao Yu knew about it, would he be angry?
Just as Duan Rong was thinking about it, Ximen Kankan, who was not far away from him, suddenly exclaimed, and pulled out a boot from the bottom of the big pit in front of him.

Ximen Kankan was overjoyed. He took the boots and ran to Duan Rong with joy. "Look! How about this? Boots! Something for your feet..."

Duan Rong's face was immediately filled with disgust. "Where did you get this thing? Take it away!"

Ximen Kankan said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you want something on your feet?"

Duan Rong shook the black iron kneepad in his hand and said, "It's something worn on the feet. It's just a weapon! Made of iron! Are your boots weapons?"

Ximen Kankan was stunned by Duan Rong's words, but he suddenly saw a bright yellow light flashing at the toe of the boot. When he took a closer look, he found that it was covered with a brass tiger-head stirrup.

Ximen Kankan suddenly became proud. He held up his boots in front of Duan Rong, shaking them and shouting, "How can this not be a weapon? Don't you see it's covered with a tiger-head stirrup?"

Duan Rong had already seen the golden object in the light of the fire. He reached out to take the boots and took off the golden object. It turned out to be a tiger-head-shaped object that could be put on the toes.

Duan Rong rubbed it in his hand and murmured, "Is this a weapon?"

He has never seen this thing before!
Seeing Duan Rong's confused look, Ximen Kankan suddenly became excited and grabbed the tiger's head kick. He said, "Why? Have you never seen it before? I'll let you open your eyes today!"

Ximen Kankan suddenly moved and put the tiger-head kick on the toe of his right foot. He then flashed and started to perform.

Ximen Kankan used a set of grappling techniques, such as the bone-breaking hand. After performing a few moves, he suddenly hooked his right leg and kicked the ground.

There was a loud bang, and a large pit appeared on the ground amidst a cloud of dust.

Ximen Kankan raised his leg and said, "This weapon is for people who practice leg skills. If you meet an expert, it will be very powerful!"

Duan Rong's eyes flashed. After Ximen Kankan's demonstration, he had completely understood how to use this weapon.

Duan Rong held the dusty tiger-head pedal, and an idea came to his mind. He said to himself, "Read the spirit of the weapon!"

As Duan Rong's thoughts passed, another set of data appeared before his eyes.

Object: Brass tiger head stirrup
Spirit Level: Level 4

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 4 (satisfied)
Devouring effect: the first level of Broken Monument Leg.

"Broken Monument Kick?! It's indeed a leg skill!" Duan Rong's eyes were filled with surprise. He had never practiced leg skills before. After all, Xiangu County was remote and isolated, and not all martial arts were available there.

"Swallow!"

Duan Rong cried out inwardly. As the data panel before him disintegrated and disappeared, he looked at the tiger stirrup in his hand. The stirrup was crudely made, but its texture was solid. Who knows how long it had been buried in this dark cave, the tiger's mouth was already covered with verdigris.

At this time, Duan Rong already had three items in his hands: black iron knee pads, brass carved foot rings and tiger stirrups.

Duan Rong looked at Ximen Kankan and asked, "Kankan, can I take these things with me?"

Ximen Kankan said, "No one cares about these rags. Just hide them in your clothes and don't let the old man see them when you go out."

Duan Rong said, "I'll throw the things out of the wooden fence first. I'll go get them after I get out."

"Cunning!" Ximen Kankan praised with a smile, "This is the safest way."

The two walked out of the cave and sat in the corner to chat for a while.

Duan Rong saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Kankan, come with me to see Xiao Yu."

Ximen Kankan's eyes darkened and he said, "I haven't completed my mission for today yet. If I run out like this, I'll get scolded."

Duan Rong said: "It's okay, you'll have time when you become proficient."

As Duan Rong spoke, he put his arm around Ximen Kankan's shoulders.

The two men stood up from the large bluestone they were sitting on.

Ximen Kankan said, "Go ahead. When you see Xiao Yu, bring her back for me."

Duan Rong nodded, turned and walked out.

As Duan Rong turned around, Ximen Kankan suddenly kicked him on the butt.

Duan Rong was immersed in the sadness of parting when he was kicked unexpectedly. He staggered and almost fell down.

"I told you that if you come over here, I'm going to kick your ass. Just one kick, that's easy for you!"

Duan Rong turned around and saw Ximen Kankan running away yelling and cursing. He flashed to the entrance of the cave, turned around and grinned at Duan Rong, then disappeared.

"Your uncle's!"

Duan Rong brushed off the dust on his butt and walked out of the wooden fence. When he left, the old man guarding the gate just glanced at him.

Duan Rong walked out and went around to the corner where he and Ximen Kankan had just sat and chatted. He took the three items he had dug out of the cave from under the wooden fence.

When Duan Rong came here, he passed by a stream in the dense forest. He came to the stream again and washed the three objects in his hands.

Especially the brass carved anklet, Duan Rong cleaned it carefully for a long time, then wiped it dry on the lining of his clothes before putting it close to his body.

The tiger kick was the smallest, so Duan Rong just put it in his sleeves.

Duan Rong only had the black iron kneepad in his hand, stroking it as he walked...

This knee pad is a seventh-level spirit weapon, and it also has the ability to perform light skills... It's a pity that he can't devour it yet.

At Ximen Kankan, Duan Rong discovered the cave filled with broken weapons, which was an inexhaustible source of food for him.

This solved one of his problems.

People like Ximen Kankan and Xiao Yu, if they want to practice the sect's martial arts, they need to go to the Sutra Repository and exchange them with contribution points.

But Duan Rong had this devouring source, and the management here was so lax, he didn't need to go to the Sutra Repository at all. He could directly gain the realm of martial arts through devouring.

Then, by stacking pills, he could nourish his inner energy.

Duan Rong first achieved a certain level of martial arts and then cultivated his internal strength. His method of cultivation was exactly the opposite of normal cultivation.

It's like an open-book exam, no need to fumble or try. Just pile up the pills, build up your inner strength, and you'll achieve the realm!
