Chapter 72 The Heart-Cleansing Herb and the Bright Silver Armor

"Crimson Python Spear, Azure Scale Spear, Hundred-Refined Black Iron Spear, Hundred-Refined Dragon Pattern Spear..."

Looking at the weapons section of the dossier, Wu Ming saw that the Azure Scale Spear was a superior choice to the Crimson Python Spear. It was made of Azure Scale Wood, which was lighter and stronger. It required a full four hundred merit points to exchange for it, while in the outside world, it would cost at least three hundred taels of silver to buy it.

As for the Hundred Refined Black Iron Spear, it is completely different from the Azure Scale Spear. It is forged from Hundred Refined Black Iron, and its properties have changed. Although it also has extremely strong elasticity and toughness, it is extremely heavy. A single spear weighs nearly 100 jin!

This kind of spear is impossible for a martial artist with only two blood clottings to wield; at least a three-time blood clotting is required to control it.

Its value is, of course, extremely high, requiring a full two thousand merit points.

After looking at the exchange requirements for several types of spears, Wu Ming thought for a moment and then temporarily skipped over them, continuing to look ahead. Soon he saw what he wanted, which was a type of armor.

Bright silver light armor.

Forged from special 'silver steel', it is a type of light armor, weighing only about twenty kilograms. When worn, it is difficult to be injured by swords and blades, and can be covered by a loose robe. It requires a full thousand merit points to exchange.

For a martial artist, twenty-odd kilograms is not a very heavy weight. Wearing it might have a slight impact, but compared to its defensive effect, this impact is acceptable.

of course,

In the treasury of the Censorate, there is an even more superior inner armor called the 'Golden Silk Soft Armor'. It is made of an extremely rare metal, which is forged into silk and woven together. Its weight is almost negligible. It can be worn close to the body, and its defensive effect is even stronger than that of the Bright Silver Light Armor. However, the exchange requirement is also ridiculously high, requiring a full 20,000 merit points.

One would have to eliminate four or five ruthless bandits like He Tian, ​​the Black Cloud Thief, before having a chance to acquire such a treasure. Even if one were to spend thousands of taels of gold, it would be impossible to buy it on the market; it was a type of item that was available but priceless.

After secretly memorizing several types of inner armor, Wu Ming continued searching through the pages.

at last,

He turned to the 'rare items' category in the file, which listed various special resources that grew naturally, mostly born in unique environments and impossible to cultivate in large quantities.

This part of the treasury is extremely valuable. Wu Ming only glanced at it and found that none of the items required to be exchanged were less than five thousand merit points. The Blood Essence Fruit was among them, along with the Blood Nourishing Flower, which contains a large amount of nutrients and can help people quickly accumulate blood energy, as well as the Nourishing Essence Fruit, Blood Jade Lotus Root, and so on.

Almost at first glance, I wanted to own every single one of them.

Most of them were beyond Wu Ming's current ability to exchange for, so he could only suppress the surging thoughts in his heart and continue searching. Finally, near the end, he found something he needed.

Heart-clearing herb.

It can help people nourish their soul and cure 'soul loss syndrome'. It can also be used by martial artists when they are trying to break through the blood clotting barrier to temporarily cleanse their soul and suppress the effects of blood qi turmoil. The exchange fee is 5,000 merit points.

This is the only resource related to the soul recorded in the archives of the Censorate. However, Wu Ming was not clear about its effects. Looking at the requirement of five thousand merit points for exchange, he hesitated for a moment.

In fact, the Black Emperor Demon Subduing Diagram itself already has the effect of enhancing cultivation. As long as one can find the traces of evil spirits, suppress and refine them, one can use their power to refine one's own blood and energy to nourish one's soul. However, evil spirits are not so easy to encounter in the city, unless one goes to the desolate areas far away from Jingye City, but those places are too dangerous for him now.

"Fine, every little bit faster counts."

Wu Ming quickly made his decision. To him, the Black Emperor Demon Subduing Diagram was a treasure trove. Before the Three Refinements of the Primordial Spirit, he possessed this treasure but could not use it. Now, no matter the cost, it was worth it to complete the Three Refinements of the Primordial Spirit transformation sooner.

Although he wanted all sorts of weapons, inner armor, and other items in the archives, he thought again that once his primordial spirit had undergone three refinements, his realm had transformed, and his strength had greatly improved, he would naturally have the ability to acquire them slowly.

"Bright Silver Light Armor and Refreshing Grass?"

The inspector in charge of the treasury was slightly surprised when he heard Wu Ming's choice.

Wu Ming's choice of the Bright Silver Light Armor is normal, but the Heart-Clearing Grass is somewhat special. Generally speaking, martial artists who cultivate the Blood Coagulation Martial Path need more Blood Essence Fruits, since they not only have the effect of stabilizing blood energy but also nourishing it. Heart-Clearing Grass, on the other hand, only soothes the restlessness caused by the accumulation of blood energy, and its effect is actually not as good as that of Blood Essence Fruits.

However, since Wu Ming had decided to exchange for it, perhaps it was because the young man was impetuous and wanted to use the calming herb to calm his mind, he naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business. He immediately picked up his pen and wrote it down, then told Wu Ming to wait there, and then hurriedly left the yamen.

After a while.

He returned with the sandalwood box, opened it, and inside was a delicate, bright blue grass, which looked quite ordinary.

At the same time, a minor official followed, carrying a suit of light silver armor. This armor was made of thin plates forged from bright silver steel and spliced ​​together using a special nesting process. Each plate was less than one-fifth of an inch thick, or two-tenths of an inch thick. However, due to its hard and tough material, this thickness was enough to withstand the thrusts of weapons like the Crimson Python Spear in his hand.

It is precisely because of this bright silver steel that it is both hard and extremely tough. It will deform when hit hard. Therefore, even if you use the combined force to stab it with the spear, it is difficult to destroy it in one go. At most, it will only dent and deform it.

It cost a full six thousand merit points to acquire these two items.

In fact, Wu Ming still had enough merit points to exchange for another 'Azure Scale Spear', but after some consideration, he gave up. The main reason was that the Azure Scale Spear was not as rare as the Bright Silver Light Armor and the Heart-Cleansing Grass. These could be bought with silver outside, but the Bright Silver Light Armor was hard to buy even if you had money, not to mention the Heart-Cleansing Grass, a spiritual resource.

Moreover, for him now, replacing the Crimson Python Spear with the Azure Scale Spear would only slightly increase the weapon's strength, and the effect wouldn't be significant. It would be better to wait until he has completed three blood condensation sessions and then try using the Hundred Refined Black Iron Spear directly.

"Here are some Qingxin Grass and Bright Silver Armor. You can take them."

"Thank you for your trouble, Inspector."

Wu Ming thanked him, then took the wooden box and the bright silver light armor together, and left the yamen.

Just after Wu Ming left, Wang Wufeng appeared outside the yamen. Listening to a junior official's respectful report, he stared at Wu Ming's back, his face gradually turning gloomy.

It was rare to meet someone with no background, who was young, and had a large amount of merit. He thought he might have a chance to get some benefits, but the other party didn't buy into his scheme at all.

This matter was already beneath us to begin with, and Wu Ming completely ignored it, leaving Wang Wufeng feeling utterly humiliated and extremely displeased.

"I don't know how to praise!"

He gave a cold snort and turned to leave.
