Traversing the path of life and death

Chapter Twenty-One: Nameless

Looking at the three weapons in front of him, Lin Yu was filled with mixed feelings. He was about to get his hands on the ancient artifacts, but he dared not pick them up, fearing that they might not be what he was looking for.

"Take it, I can sense an ancient artifact inside," came the old shaman's voice.

Thick rust covered the three weapons. When Lin Yu picked up the first weapon, it was a stone hammer. He thought the stone hammer wasn't very heavy, so he tried to pick it up with one hand. But as soon as he picked it up, he was surprised by the weight. Lin Yu quickly reached out his hand from behind his back and grabbed it tightly. His two trembling hands gripped the weapon tightly, and his legs seemed to bend because of the weight of the weapon, using the force to push off.

"Teacher, why is this weapon so heavy? Please take a look and see if this is the right weapon!" Lin Yu said, trembling.

The old shaman's illusory figure slowly floated out, and a surge of soul power invaded it. He then shook his head and said, "No, but the material used to forge this item is extraordinary. The main material is Heavenly Profound Iron. Heavenly Profound Iron is extremely important in the eyes of weapon refiners. Often, a small piece of Heavenly Profound Iron can upgrade a weapon by one level. Even if you don't get a suitable weapon from the Weapon Pavilion, you're still considered lucky to have obtained such a large piece of Heavenly Profound Iron."

Lin Yu listened carefully to his teacher's explanation. The stone hammer was not an ancient artifact, but it was a rare and precious material. Lin Yu was very happy and casually put it into his storage ring.

Since each person can only take one weapon from the armory, and since he had already taken the gauntlets, he obviously couldn't let the old man see him take the stone hammer. So Lin Yu put it into his storage ring as quickly as possible.

For the last two items, Lin Yu casually picked up a weapon, a fan. Its surface was clearly damaged, and the entire stand was scattered haphazardly. Lin Yu picked it up, and a series of metallic sounds rang out as the stand shattered on the ground. A weapon so badly damaged, and without anything special about it, was clearly not an ancient artifact. Since it wasn't, then the ancient artifact must be the last weapon he had ever owned.

At this moment, the last weapon lay quietly on the ground. When Lin Yu first looked at the weapon, he felt that it was very ordinary. Like other weapons, it was covered with a layer of rust and had nothing special about it. This feeling was very profound. Even other ordinary weapons did not give Lin Yu the same feeling.

It's about ten feet long and two fingers wide, with a spiral handle. If Lin Yu were to use this weapon, his demeanor would completely change. This knife is truly...

Seeing the massive sword lying peacefully on the ground, Lin Yu was helpless. The huge blade was right in front of him. "Teacher, this sword is the last weapon we have. Why do I feel that it is so ordinary? And it is a broken sword. Do you think it is the ancient artifact we are looking for?" Lin Yu said.

The illusory figure of the old shaman reappeared, and as soon as he appeared, he blew away the rust on the broken sword, and the blade clearly appeared in front of Lin Yu. The bright blade light shone in Lin Yu's eyes. Lin Yu had tried to wipe the rust clean just now, but he couldn't get it off no matter what he did. The rust seemed to be grown on the blade, showing no sign of disappearing.

The rust was easily removed by the old witch, restoring it to its original state, but the huge break was still so obvious.

The old shaman also looked at the bright broadsword on the ground. He had just used his own soul energy to blow away the rust. It seemed simple, but it had taken a lot of effort.

However, in Elder Wu's view, everything he had just done was worthwhile. Every ancient divine artifact has its own extraordinary qualities. If the missing half of the greatsword could be found and restored, then the greatsword's power would be truly unleashed. Although the greatsword is currently damaged, if its ancient power could be activated, it could be considered a divine weapon.

"This is the ancient artifact we are looking for, but it has not yet activated its ancient power. It is very ordinary now. If we want to activate its ancient power, we will have to wait for the right opportunity." After saying this, the old shaman returned to the ring.

Lin Yu picked up the large sword. The blade still shone brightly. Lin Yu gently ran his hand across the blade. Where his hand touched, there was a slight indentation, and the word 'Nameless' was faintly written on it.

The words 'Nameless' were engraved on the blade. "Indeed, the blade lives up to its name. It was originally an ancient divine artifact. After it was damaged, it hid itself. If you hadn't come here to find a weapon, you probably would have stayed here for a long time," Lin Yu thought to himself.

He then placed 'Nameless' into his storage space, carried the package with boxing gloves on his back, and went down to the first floor.

"Can Lin Yu obtain a complete and undamaged weapon?" An aged voice entered Lin Yu's ears. Lin Yu knew it was the old man guarding the weapon pavilion.

"I have successfully completed my mission and found a complete divine weapon," Lin Yu replied.

The old man had watched Lin Yu stay inside for five whole days. When he saw Lin Yu come out this time, he assumed that Lin Yu had left because he could not find a suitable weapon, so he casually asked him a question. Unexpectedly, Lin Yu said something that surprised the old man: he had actually found a complete and undamaged weapon, something that had not happened in many years.

Then, the old man appeared in front of Lin Yu and hurriedly said, "May I take a look at the weapon you have found?"

Seeing the old man's urgency, Lin Yu couldn't refuse. He put the package he was carrying on his back in front of him, took out the boxing gloves inside, and handed them to the old man.

The old man took the boxing gloves and carefully stroked them as if he hadn't seen them for many years. Indeed, since the old man first came here, he had been troubled by the piles of weapons inside. Although there were many weapons, very few were truly intact. Over the years, members of the Lin family had come here to hunt for treasures in an endless stream, but no one had ever found a complete weapon.

Seeing an eight or nine-year-old boy find a complete weapon here is incredibly lucky. Moreover, the gauntlet is exceptionally sturdy, indicating that the material used to forge it must be extraordinary. For someone who spends all his time dealing with broken weapons, this is truly astonishing.

Afterwards, the old man returned the gauntlets to Lin Yu. He had long heard that Lin Yu had shone brightly on the day of the cultivation test and was extremely curious about him. Now that he saw him and witnessed him obtaining weapons in the armory, he was truly shocked.

Lin Yu took the boxing gloves, said a brief goodbye to the old man, and turned to leave.

Watching Lin Yu leave, the old man quickly rushed up to the second floor. What came into view was the weapons that Lin Yu had neatly arranged, each weapon marked. A strange thought appeared in the old man's mind, "Could it be that he has seen all the weapons here? But how much perseverance must that take?"
