Chapter 38: Huaiyang City_1

After leaving the place, Gu Chen arrived at the Hall of Merit and took possession of the weapon he had previously exchanged for. It was a longsword named Red Refinement.

This sword was about three feet long, with its blade emitting a red glow throughout. It was made from a type of ore known as Red Refinement Steel, forged and refined through thousands of hammerings, forming a low-grade treasure weapon.

Treasure weapons stood above ordinary martial weapons, divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. Gu Chen's previous sword could only be considered a sharp weapon, made from common iron, vastly inferior to a treasure weapon.

Even an ordinary person wielding a treasure weapon could easily slay a martial artist at the peak of the Body Refining Stage, and even a martial artist at the second realm, the Blood Refining Stage, wouldn't dare to face it head on—such was the power of a treasure weapon.
