AST 2207 - 16th-grade Divine Weapons Are Actually Powerful?

The peaceful days passed just like that and in a flash, it was already three months later . At this moment, Qing Shui was in his Violet Jade Immortal Realm and awaiting the third level of the hundred treasure chest to open . There were still two hours before it would open and Qing Shui was filled with anticipation .

Right now, he needed many divine crystals and divine square cauldrons to upgrade his divine weapon . He also didn’t know how many treasures he would get, once the third level of the treasure chest opened . He could only hope that there would be sufficient materials for him to upgrade it twice . The time needed to open the treasure chest took longer and longer . He was worried that the next opening might need a year’s worth of time, and the next might even need ten years or a few decades . The main point was, the passage of time was counted in the real world .

Hence, after the fifth-level, Qing Shui felt that it wouldn’t be so easy to open the hundred treasure chest anymore . Qing Shui felt that he would at most, open it up till the fifth-level . Hopefully, from the third to the fifth level, he would be able to gain many divine weapon crystals and square cauldrons .

Unknowingly, the two hours had passed by . Qing Shui stared at the hundred treasure chest, feeling very excited in his heart . There were many treasures that came out .

There were a total of one hundred and twenty aptitude pills, a hundred and twenty potential pills, and a hundred and twenty growth pills . There were also three hundred square cauldrons, three divine weapon crystals, three hundred cultivation pills, one 4th-grade attacking talisman stone, one defense talisman stone, a recovery talisman stone, an endurance talisman stone, a power talisman stone, a tenacity talisman stone, and one 4th-grade evasion talisman stone .

Right now, Qing Shui was most worried about the square cauldrons and divine weapon crystals . He just gained three hundred of them . He didn’t take them out but directly placed them inside the treasure chest . This would enable it to increase its capabilities once . You could upgrade any item by doing so . The effect was just like the treasure basin . However, the treasure basin couldn’t be placed inside the hundred treasure chest and vice versa, or one might devour the other . In the worst case, they might both disappear .

In any case, he needed some time before he could upgrade his flying sword . He then turned his attention to the time needed before the fourth level of the treasure chest could be opened .

Half a year later!

Qing Shui heaved a sigh of relief . The time needed was still acceptable . In this case, to open the fifth-level, around a year of time should be required or even longer . Qing Shui was actually somewhat depressed when he thought of this . It seemed like he would still need to collect more square cauldrons and crystals from other sources .

The upgrade time of the hundred treasure chest wasn’t considered too long but to Qing Shui, because it needed roughly a month’s worth of time, it felt arduously long . This would be considered quite fast by others .

After upgrading his flying sword, he decided to upgrade his other treasures as well . Because now, the capabilities of the upgrade were up by 1x . His three hundred crystals and square cauldrons could be considered as six hundred .

To upgrade to the 14th-grade, he needed two hundred square cauldrons and fifty divine weapon crystals .

To upgrade to the 15th-grade, he needed two hundred square cauldrons and a hundred divine weapon crystals .

To upgrade to the 16th-grade he needed, two hundred square cauldrons and one hundred and fifty divine weapon crystals .

Qing Shui discovered that the number of square cauldrons needed didn’t change after each grade . In that case, he might as well use them all up .

The number of divine weapon crystals needed kept increasing as the level upgrade increased . He wondered if the increase would remain at a constant of 50 or not…

Qing Shui stopped thinking about these things . After using up all the materials, he felt extremely happy . After that, he equipped all the 4th-graded talisman stones . Although the boost to his strength wasn’t that significant, it was still better than nothing .

After that, he happily looked at the upgraded flying sword .

Big Dipper Sword, a flying sword-type divine weapon 

16th-grade!

The user would take 10% less damage in combat . It also increased 16% recovery speed of the user; the damage dealt by 3 . 2 billion Dao, increased Dao defense by 3 . 2 billion, as well as minimizing injuries by 3 . 2 billion Dao .

Divine Weapon Seal: When activated, it can embed a talisman stone .

Attack, defense, evasion, recovery, endurance, speed, tenacity, and power were all increased by a factor of 6% .

Qing Shui’s current strength ranged from 6 billion Dao to 60 billion Dao .

Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of Defense . Increased defense by 20% . This had made Qing Shui’s defense reach 72 billion dao .

Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of Violence . It increased 6 billion Dao in blocking effect, giving Qing Shui roughly around 78 billion Dao in defense .

With the additional effect of his flying sword, he could resist another 3 . 2 billion Dao of injury and increase his defense . All in all, his defense reached roughly around 85 billion Dao . That, in addition to the defensive attribute that was already primary on his weapon, it could resist up to another 2 . 6 billion Dao with his Emperor’s Qi, providing another 2 billion dao in defense . In any case, he could almost negate the strength of his opponent’s attacks by half .

Unknowingly, Qing Shui had reached an unprecedented peak . Those twice as strong than Qing Shui might not even be able to defeat him . There were many factors to consider in combat . For example, speed and endurance were all included, as well as special techniques and methods . Hence, one couldn’t compare just by pure strength alone .

Also, Qing Shui had a Nine Yang Body . His bones were sturdy, his tenacity was immensely high, along with his extremely quick recovery power . He even had the Nine Yang Dragon Soul, boosting his soul power . Right now, Qing Shui could be considered a powerful body refinement cultivator . There were truly not many who could defeat Qing Shui .

After exiting the Violet Jade Immortal Realm, Qing Shui had a satisfied look on his face . Time had gone by too fast . The Imperial Cuisine Hall had expanded during these three months, as they had purchased the feudal land it was on and opened it again .

Also, they invited many doctors and physicians . Those people all had a connection with either the Divine Palace or the Taiyi Immortal Palace and were extremely dependable . As of now, he had no plans to accept any disciples but he wouldn’t be stingy with his medical techniques . He would share his skills with the doctors as long as they could learn it . It would belong to them alone .

Those people were all at least middle-aged and had a very powerful cultivation base . Naturally, there were also some who had no cultivation base at all, but all of them still respectfully referred to Qing Shui as ‘teacher’ when they were there .

Referring to him as ‘teacher’ was a term of respect . If they referred to him as ‘master’, it would mean that he would pass down inheritances to them . Many of these people naturally wanted to have him as their master but they didn’t have the fortune for it to be so .

Right now, Zhang Yue was completely in charge of the Imperial Cuisine Hall . He was a disciple of Qing Shui . Qing Shui would not interfere if nothing major happened in the Imperial Cuisine Hall; unless, of course, there were people coming here to find trouble or patients Zhang Yue wasn’t able to treat .

“Qing Shui, that Tai Dashao came here to look for you . ” Beihuang Fan came to his courtyard and spoke .

Beihuang Fan coincidentally met Tai Dashao when she went out . Tai Dashao was extremely respectful and clearly stated his intentions for coming . This was why Beihuang Fan was willing to help him relay his message .

“Tai Dashao?” Qing Shui was bewildered . He then spent a few moments recalling that it was a person whom he had cured a few months ago . He wondered what Tai Dashao had come here for .
