(You can also look for spiritual treasures to make up for the lack of Spirit stones as both contains Qi.)
[Good news,I totally have a spiritual treasure on me now.]Luke sarcastically retorted to provoke Gaia.
(In fact,you do.It is outside your house contained in a treasure chest.Within it lies a 1st grade Bronze spiritual treasure.)Gaia replied,unaffected by Luke's meager attempt at provocation.
[How did you even know there was a treasure there?]Luke unconvincingly asked.
(Since i can absorb Qi to purify it,shouldn't it be obvious?I can sense Qi and due to the Qi around that area being slightly more denser then the other areas surrounding it,it can be thus concluded as such.)
[Great.]Luke knew he lost in this "word war" between himself and Gaia.[Where is the treasure located?]Luke seriously inquired.
(Get a shovel and start digging out that small hill outside.)Gaia replied with a commanding tone.[Yes.]Luke gave up and started to do as told.
Luke thus found a shovel to dig out that treasure in the hill.He went up to the little hill which peak was barely reaching 15 meters in height.
Around the lush yet desolate hill were flowers around it.Like then went up the hill to the point where Gaia had specified and started to dig out a hole.
Whilst digging,Luke ask Gaia [Gaia,after gaining the (Training) function by using this treasure,what other functions should be bought with the High-grade spirit stones?]
Luke was very confident that he could obtain 1st place easily due to the system and his cultivation speed along with his battle experience.
(The (Training) function would be enough for now although other functions such as the (Storage),(Map) and (Teleport) functions would be great for the long run.)
(I would suggest getting the (Storage) then (Teleport) and finally (Map) in this order as due to the practicality and usefulness of these skills for the user.)
After Luke dug up the treasure,he noticed a small shard,a piece of something hidden away in a corner.
(I advice user to hold onto that.It will be useful in the future.)Gaia interrupted Luke's thoughts. Luke tucked that shard into his pockets as he begun observing the bronze treasure he dug up.
It looked to be a sword,although due to the vestiges of time,it became blunt.[Gaia,what will happened to the sword when you absorb its Qi? Will it turn to ashes?]
(No.It will,however,become a normal weapon.Although it will lose the Qi inside,it will actually be beneficial as the process would accidentally sharpen the weapon and since you would at most be in the Adept Step at the time of the tournament,it will do more good as you would not need to use the Qi inside.)
Luke felt that it was reasonable due to Bronze weapons being restricted to Adept Step cultivators and above before being use able.The boost would be negligible due to the weapon being blunt.If not,it would not have been worth it.
Treasures are ranked from: Bronze,Copper,Iron,Steel,Gold,Diamond,Platinum and God/Devil weapons. From Bronze rank to Gold rank,there are 3 grades.Diamond and Platinum have 6 ranks and God/Devil have 12 ranks.
There are rumors about a rank that is as powerful or even more powerful then God/Devil Treasures.There are different types of other treasures too that are special and different in the way that they work too.
