1421 Grotto-Heaven Divine Weapon, Weapon Upgrade (3)
Shi Songtao had enough of being in the limelight. He didn’t want to drag on any further. “The Overlord Spear, Abyss Rainbow Sword, Spring Embroidered Saber…”

Zhou Shu had reforged everyone’s connate divine weapons.

They were all reforged into grotto-heaven divine weapons!

While everyone was excited, they were also a little hesitant.

How many forging materials had it taken to forge more than ten grotto-heaven divine weapons in a row?

Even if they weren’t forgers, they knew that this wasn’t easy.

Mi Ziwen said in a low voice, “Deputy Pavilion Master Shi, these grotto-heaven divine weapons cost too much to forge. Does the Huaxia Pavilion still have so many forging materials? We can’t take them just like that. We’ll pay for the forging materials needed to forge them ourselves.

“Perhaps we can’t afford it now, but even if we pay back bit by bit, we still have to do it. We can’t let the Huaxia Pavilion suffer a loss!”

Everyone nodded when Mi Ziwen said this.

Shi Songtao smiled again. “At least you have a conscience!

“The cost of forging a grotto-heaven divine weapon is comparable to ten connate divine weapons! In the past, even if the Huaxia Pavilion emptied our wealth, none of you would be able to own a grotto-heaven divine weapon each!

“But now, the pavilion master has brought back a batch of forging materials. It’s more than enough to forge your grotto-heaven divine weapons.”

Mi Ziwen shook his head. “His Highness’s things belong to His Highness. We can’t accept it like that.

“I know that His Highness has already paid an unimaginable price to hire the ten-thousand-strong army from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Although we might not be able to produce the forging materials needed to forge grotto-heaven divine weapons now, we can pay in installments.”

Mi Ziwen was Zhou Shu’s sworn brother. Mi Ziwen knew very well about the installment payment method that Zhou Shu had spoken about back then.

Mi Ziwen’s family was rich enough to rival a country back then. Although times had changed, the Mi family was still one of the top few families in the world. If they really wanted to take out the forging materials needed for a grotto-heaven divine weapon, they could still do it.

But Mi Ziwen wasn’t the only one present. He had to give others face.

Shi Songtao didn’t accept it and shook his head. “It’s enough that you have this intention. To be honest, our Huaxia Pavilion is not interested in what you’re offering.

“His Highness said that if you have the heart, you can use forging materials to repay the cost of these grotto-heaven divine weapons after we’ve completely resolved the crisis of the human race in the future.”

“This…”

Mi Ziwen still wanted to say more, but Shi Songtao had already spoken again. “General Mi, although the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has temporarily retreated, His Highness said that we have yet to resolve the crisis of our human race. The crisis we might face in the future will be even greater than before.

“So, everyone, don’t stand on ceremony. To put it bluntly, we owe His Highness so much that we will probably never be able to repay him. Do you think there’s any difference between having one more grotto-heaven divine weapon and one less?”

Shi Songtao said with a serious expression, “Everyone, just die for His Highness.”

…

Several days passed. Since Meng Bai, Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, Sun Gongping, and Xiao Jianghe took away their grotto-heaven divine weapons, there had been no other activity in the Huaxia Pavilion.

Until today, Lin Kedi came to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

Mu Letian of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom came with him.

“Mu Letian, you’re too thick-skinned. Why did you follow me here? What business do you have here?” Lin Kedi said unhappily.

If not for the fact that Mu Letian was also from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, he would have chased him away long ago.

But then again, if they really fought, he might not be able to win. After all, Mu Letian was not an ordinary person.

“Lin Kedi, we are comrades from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you treat me like this? I just want to see if the Huaxia Pavilion has successfully upgraded your Sky-Breaking Spear. I’ll be on your side if anything happens. Why are you so dissatisfied?” Mu Letian said with an aggrieved expression. “If they bully you, at least I’ll be by your side, right?”

Lin Kedi scoffed. “What do you know? The human race and I have a friendship of life and death. How can they bully me?

“Besides, I, Lin Kedi, am not so easily bullied. If I can’t defeat them, what makes you think you will make a difference?”

While the two of them bickered, Shi Songtao had already walked through the door of the palace.

“General Lin, you’re indeed punctual.” Shi Songtao laughed.

“Of course.” Lin Kedi cupped his hands. “As soon as I received Deputy Pavilion Master Shi’s message, I immediately came over.
“Deputy Pavilion Master Shi, did you ask me to come because my Sky-Breaking Spear has been repaired?”

Shi Songtao nodded with a smile on his face. “Fortunately, the Huaxia Pavilion didn’t disappoint you. General Lin, try this new Sky-Breaking Spear. If you’re not satisfied, our Huaxia Pavilion won’t take a single cent.”

Shi Songtao threw the spear to Lin Kedi.

Lin Kedi reached out and caught the spear.

The moment he held the spear with both hands, he felt as if they connected.

The Sky-Breaking Spear was his intrinsic divine weapon. As soon as he held it, he could already feel that it had been completely repaired!

Buzz—

Lin Kedi’s arm trembled slightly, and the tip of the Sky-Breaking Spear emitted a light.

Boom!

A monstrous aura soared into the sky.

Lin Kedi was pleasantly surprised.

Lin Kedi looked at Shi Songtao and said solemnly, “Eighteen-heaven divine weapon?”

Mu Letian also looked surprised. Eighteen-heaven divine weapon?

As far as he knew, Lin Kedi’s Sky-Breaking Spear had been a fifteen-heaven divine weapon. Even so, it was still a famous weapon in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.

The Huaxia Pavilion was really able to increase the power of the Sky-Breaking Spear?

From a fifteen-heaven divine weapon to an eighteen-heaven divine weapon?

“That’s right. Our pavilion master said that the material of your Sky-Breaking Spear can only withstand eighteen heavens. Otherwise, he could have upgraded it even more,” Shi Songtao said

“If you want to continue to upgrade it, you must first improve the material of the Sky-Breaking Spear itself. In this case, a huge amount of forging materials will be consumed. Without your consent, General Lin, we will not be able to make the decision.”

“Upgrade!” Lin Kedi said in a deep voice. “No matter how many forging materials are consumed, I’ll have to trouble King Zhou to help me upgrade it. I want to upgrade it to as high a level as possible! Forging materials is not a problem! I will send a message to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom now and ask my elder brother to send forging materials over!”
