Chapter 401: Chapter 229: Thousand Hui City, The Palace Master of Yiye Palace_2
[This item has two functions.]
[Firstly, carrying it allows you to adjust the size of a weapon according to the size of the user.]
[Secondly, incorporating it into the forging process, there will be a certain probability to improve the quality of the weapon, up to the Legendary Grade.]
"Sss...this item is awesome."
This item can adjust the size of a weapon when carried, which is particularly beneficial for creatures like the Earth Giants and Little Dragons, who are restricted by their transformed size and can only custom order weapons specific to them.
With this item, even the standard weapons gained in the game can be used in transformed states.
Take the newly acquired Epic+ Level weapon ’Tachi-Demon Cleaver of Unohana’ for example; it can be used without any hindrance by an Earth Giant in its normal state.
But under a transformed state, this deadly weapon turns into a toothpick...
The first use can also be effective on other Apostles. However, transformation skills are extremely rare and highly valuable.
Lin Xun has seen a wide variety of ensemble and defensive skill books in the library, but never a transformation skill book.
Not to mention that this legendary item can be incorporated in the forging process to enhance the quality of weapons.
The only restriction might be that the two effects of this item can only apply to weapons and are ineffective on armor.
Time passed unconsciously. The group traveled on horseback at a slow pace, and it was evening by the time they reached the ridge city ’Thousand Hui’.
[The city in front is much more lively than ’Fugang’. The tall city walls stand strong and multitude of warriors guard the city gates and the walls.]
[The flow of people entering and leaving the city forms a long queue. People need to pay spiritual taxes according to the quantity of the goods they are carrying to enter the city.]
[’Fire Worshiping’ Senior Yin Yang Master led you to the front of the queue in the envious gazes of the crowd.]
[The lower-ranking warriors at the city gate bow to you. Normally, your peculiar appearance would definitely provoke scrutiny and trouble, perhaps even branding you as a ’remnant of demons’ due to insufficient payment of spirit taxes...]
[However, because of the presence of the Yin Yang Master representing the ’Yiye Palace’, the city guards dared not say much. They took note of your appearance to avoid not recognizing you, a distinguished guest from ’Yiye Palace’, in the future and thereby causing unnecessary trouble.]
[’Fire Worshiping’ Senior Yin Yang Master led you into ’Thousand Hui City,’ and explained the situation of this unfamiliar city to you...]
[There are many interesting places in the city, such as the only preserved temple ’Dharma Temple’ and the ’Five-tiered Tower’ which used to enshrine the Demon God.]
[After the divine power of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ descended upon the world, hundreds of temples were torn down and shrines for the True God were built in their places.]
[The preserved ’Dharma Temple’ and ’Five-tiered Tower’ have unique functions that you will understand when you visit them with the foreign priest.]
[There are also the grand shrine ’Wuzhi Shrine’ and the ’Castle Tower’ where the local lord resides in the city...]
[Upon hearing the news of ’Wuzhi Shrine,’ your heart is moved.]
[The long-sought ’Wuzhi Shrine’ is actually within ’Thousand Hui City’!]
[You ask the ’Fire Worshiping’ Yin Yang Master’ about the ’Wuzhi Shrine’, claiming that since you came to a foreign land, it has been a long time since you prayed before the statue of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’...]
[The Yin Yang Master laughed loudly, explaining that although ’Wuzhi Shrine’ is flourishing, it is only a step away from being a grand shrine, and it is estimated that it will not be publicly enshrining the statue of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ until next year or the year after...]
[There’s no rush for foreign priests. Although the shrine could not publicly worship the image of the True God, the act of secretly worshipping small statues has been repeatedly banned. Confiding in you, he revealed that even within the ’Yiye Palace,’ there is a statue of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’.]
[However, because the general adheres to the ancient system of worshiping the gods, the act of worship and incense offering can only be done privately...]
[Upon hearing this, you frown and ask why the prayer and worship in Sakura fall need to be divided so strictly. Wouldn’t it be better to let the divine grace of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ spread to all people indiscriminately?]
[The ’Fire Worshiping’ Senior Yin Yang Master shakes his head and claims that indeed, in ancient times, the worship of the gods did not distinguish between shrines and even every household had an altar with a small statue on it, just as foreign priests said.]
[But somehow, the idea of worshipped hierarchy came into being. It is a serious crime to worship the statue privately at home; to worship the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden,’ one must go to a grand shrine or a great palace...]
Lin Xun squints his eyes.
Thinking of the true appearance of the ’Tiansui Blooming Rice’ statue.
He can’t help but raise a chilling assumption in his heart. Maybe the real statue of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ is also like ’Tiansui Blooming Rice’, which is why it is not allowed to be worshipped by the world...
[Seeing that you are still missing the ’Wuzhi Shrine’, the ’Fire Worshiping’ Senior Yin Yang Master gladly told you the specific location of the ’Wuzhi Shrine’...]
[You have learned the specific location of ’Wuzhi Shrine’!]
[He pledged to you that since you are interested in ’Wuzhi Shrine,’ after you go to ’Yiye Palace’ for further discussion, he will be your tour guide and lead you to visit the city. All your expenses for dining, housing, and travelling will be borne by ’Yiye Palace’...]
[...]
[Walking through lively streets, you come to a small palace city.]
[There are many warriors guarding the outside of the palace, and the passersby bow their heads and walk quickly, dare not take a second look at that grand building.]
