Weapons List

As Han Cai entered the third floor of the core library, he started going through the list of the vast collection of weapons that the Sky Soaring Sect had accumulated over the centuries. The weapons were listed in a large tome, and the manuals for their use were kept in separate volumes next to them. Han Cai approached the tome and began scanning through the list.

The weapons listed were a mix of refined weapons and spirit weapons, with the majority being the latter. Refined weapons were weapons that were made from special metals and were usually imbued with a small amount of spiritual energy to enhance their strength. Spirit weapons, on the other hand, were weapons that contained the spirit of a beast or a cultivator. These weapons were much stronger than refined weapons and had their own unique abilities.

There were only three earth-rank weapons in the sect's treasury, which were considered great value. The first of these weapons that piqued Han Cai's interest was a silver flute. According to the manual, this flute was the weapon of Fairy Chang, one of the founders of the sect who had come with Immortal Master Lu. The flute was said to be incredibly powerful and had its own spirit. To be allowed to use the flute, one had to either be accepted by the flute spirit or one had to forcibly make the flute submit. However, to make the flute submit, one had to have a cultivation level of immortal, just like Fairy Chang.

The manual also mentioned that the silver flute had the ability to control wind and sound and was a formidable weapon in the hands of its wielder. The only disadvantage of the flute was that it required a great deal of spiritual energy to use effectively.

The other two earth-rank weapons in the Sky Soaring sect are a set of twin daggers and a black-iron battle-axe.

The twin daggers, known as the Shadow Dance Blades, are said to be incredibly nimble and precise. They were created by a master blacksmith who infused them with his understanding of the principles of shadows and speed. When wielded together, the daggers can create illusions and allow their user to move with incredible speed and grace.

The black-iron battle-axe, called the Thunderous Strike, is a heavy weapon that is capable of causing massive damage. It was crafted from black iron that was said to have been struck by lightning, imbuing it with the power of thunder. The battle-axe is most effective when used to unleash devastating blows and can create shockwaves that can knock enemies off their feet.

Both of these weapons have been passed down through the generations and are considered highly prized possessions by the members of the Sky Soaring sect. They are not easily obtainable, and it is rumored that one must be at least of nascent soul cultivation level and have proven themselves worthy before they are allowed to wield these weapons.

Overall, Han Cai was impressed by the weapons listed in the treasury and the manuals for their use. He spent the rest of the day going through the list and studying the manuals, soaking in as much information as he could. He had already determined the right weapon for him, and now he was planning how to get his hands on it.

After going through all the listed weapons, Han Cai decided to leave the library. Han Cai was satisfied with his recent choices regarding his skills and cultivation techniques. He had spent five long days in the library researching and finally settled on the perfect combination. As he stepped outside the library, he was greeted by the same elder who had been there when he first arrived.

Han Cai respectfully bowed to the elder, who noticed the Celestial Ascension Technique manual in his hand. The elder seemed to consider saying something but ultimately decided against it, instead shaking his head in disapproval. Han Cai caught the elder's expression and understood his concern. The Celestial Ascension Technique was known to be extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring celestial energy that no one had yet been able to harness.

Despite this, Han Cai chose to proceed with the technique, as it was customary to inform the sect of any manuals taken from the library. He registered the manual and headed back to his cave abode.
