Chapter 361: Who forged these arrows?
Elder Baili was shocked by what he saw.
It wasn't that these dead monsters were particularly powerful, but rather the way they were killed. With a wave of his hand, all the arrows on the monster corpses were drawn out by his Dao power, extremely slowly.
Then, he picked up one of them and examined it closely, his eyes shining, but he remained silent, lost in thought.
Or perhaps Elder Baili was simply wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him and he was seeing things.
It's understandable that he would have such self-doubting thoughts.
Because what I saw was indeed too bizarre.
It should be said that Elder Baili's reaction was not unexpected for Qiu Qinglu. He reacted just as she had.
Elder Baili was naturally shocked by the archer's strength and his extravagance.
But Qiu Qinglu actually saw this scene again.
While the shock she felt wasn't as immense as Elder Baili's, it was certainly not insignificant either. The difference between seeing a single demon beast die with a sacred arrow stuck in its forehead and seeing a dozen demon beasts die in the same way was completely different.
what does this mean?
Those who killed these monsters really treated arrows, which were considered sacred treasures, as disposable consumables!
More than a dozen holy-grade arrows!
Dispose of after use.
While sacred-grade magical artifacts and weapons might not be scarce for extraordinary forces, they certainly weren't so plentiful as to be used and discarded. If they were to forge any sacred-grade weapon, they would never create arrows like these. "Just who is this person..."
Elder Baili examined the sacred arrow in his hand, which was stained with the brains and blood of a demon beast, his voice trembling slightly.
As a figure of some standing, considerable strength, and broad knowledge within the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, Elder Baili understood better than Qiu Qinglu that while the dozen or so Saint-grade arrows were indeed unbelievable, what was truly astonishing was the strength of the person wielding them.
Practicing archery is considered an extremely unorthodox path.
Aside from the scarcity of lineages and the diverse methods of cultivation, one important reason lies precisely in the "bow" and the "arrow".
For ordinary cultivators, one weapon is enough to focus on, whether it is a sword, axe, or halberd.
However, those who practice archery need two things: a bow and an arrow. The most important thing is that the quality of the arrows must be high.
If a cultivator simply uses a bow and condenses the arrows with Dao power, then he cannot unleash his full power.
Therefore, practicing archery is considered one of the most unorthodox paths.
While archery is generally easy for mortals, for cultivators, achieving enlightenment through archery is far more challenging than mastering music.
Of course, there are some archery masters in the world, but they are few in number, and Elder Baili knows some of them.
However, the arrows they used were at most only of the "lower four grades," specifically the yellow or black grade.
Those who can afford to use earth-grade materials are considered extremely wealthy, and must at least be at the Mahayana stage.
Elder Baili had a close friend, a Mahayana-stage archer, who possessed five Heavenly-grade arrows and treated them like his own sons.
So, what about these dozen or so holy-grade arrows...?
Elder Baili didn't even notice that a large group of people had followed behind him and witnessed the scene.
Of course, the young prodigies with low cultivation levels naturally didn't know why Elder Baili's expression was so solemn.
Only the Holy Son of the Holy Forging Divine Palace and the elders of the Holy Forging Divine Palace noticed something amiss.
"What... what's with these sacred arrows?!"
The Holy Son of the Holy Forging Divine Palace, Xiaoyao Jun, was dumbfounded.
"Just as Young Master Xiaoyao witnessed with his own eyes."
Elder Baili turned around, shook his head with a wry smile: "There was a master who attained enlightenment through archery, who used sacred-grade arrows to kill these demons."
As he spoke, he casually tossed the arrow to Xiaoyao Jun, who quickly reached out and caught it.
Then I almost fell to the ground.
Good weight!
This arrow seemed to weigh a ton!
"How is this possible? To forge sacred-grade arrows and then discard them after use?" "Isn't that just too... a waste of resources?"
"Is this a waste of resources? I think it's either because they're too wealthy or they've gone completely mad. They can even discard sacred items. I don't think anyone here would waste sacred items like this."
Many people in the group exclaimed in surprise.
Those who could act alongside the Central Plains Dynasty and the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect were all from extraordinary forces. They weren't unfamiliar with treasures, but they had never seen anyone use arrows of such value as supreme treasures to kill these demonic spirits.
And they don't even recycle them.
"It's bizarre and unbelievable, but that's exactly how it is."
Elder Baili said calmly.
"Wait, a dozen or so Saint-grade arrows?"
Xuanyuan Sheng, as if he had discovered a blind spot, turned to look at Xiaoyao Jun and the elders of the Holy Forging Palace. "Brother Xiaoyao, in this world, besides the Holy Forging Palace, I don't think there's anyone else capable of forging Saint-grade magic weapons, right?"
"If there are truly skilled individuals who need these arrows, shouldn't they be asking you for help in forging them?"
This statement came out.
Everyone around looked at Xiaoyao Jun.
It's difficult to determine which of the two is superior, the Holy Forging Divine Palace or the Inclined Healing Divine Palace.
One of us specializes in forging, and the other in alchemy. Forging is not unimportant; on the contrary, some people crave high-quality weapons and magical artifacts just as much as they crave top-grade elixirs.
If seventh- or eighth-grade pills can give a person a firm advantage in battle and make them invincible, then the same is true for heavenly-grade, saintly-grade, and even emperor-grade magical treasures and divine weapons. However, in terms of quantity, pills are still superior.
If there is any force in the world capable of forging divine weapons and magical treasures of the Saint or even Emperor grade.
That is the Holy Forging Divine Palace.
The vast majority of the top spirit craftsmen are in the Holy Forging Palace. Apart from the demon race, the ancient dragons and phoenixes have their own spirit craftsmen. As for human cultivators, it can be said that the Holy Forging Palace has a monopoly on the forging of top-level divine weapons and magical artifacts.
Because no one else can find such a skilled master blacksmith.
Even if there are a few forging masters scattered outside, who have no connection with the Holy Forging Palace, the sheer number of holy-grade arrows...
If someone comes to us seeking forging services, only the Holy Forging Palace can handle such a large order.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Xiaoyao Jun looked troubled.
In the end, it was Xiaoyao Jun's guardian elder who stepped forward to clarify.
"Gentlemen, my Holy Forging Palace has never forged such a sacred-grade arrow." (Just kidding.)
Forging over a dozen sacred arrows in one go?
The time required to forge a sacred item, even just one, is calculated in units of ten years. Just like alchemy, the forging of a sacred item can also fail, and once it fails, the loss is simply incalculable!
A dozen or so sacred arrows... This is quite outrageous for the Holy Forging Palace.
Rather than who is using these arrows.
They were more concerned with which master craftsman had forged these arrows.
Because this arrow is so exquisite!
