Davis followed suit as he also approached and placed his hand on the jade slip while sending soul force to it.
The information appeared on his mind as if being etched into his eyes.
Davis was surprised. This certainly didn’t exist anymore in the second layer but records of it did.
These kind of jade slips were forged using spirit stones and a few other materials as a medium, so he understood why it eventually faded out of existence in the second layer.
The view in his eyes listed out the category of treasures. Using his energy, he was able to access the category of treasures he wanted.
That said, he could see that these jade slips were interconnected with each other, with the central one being refreshed beyond the golden door with the shape of the jade slip holders bonded to the wall.
So he understood that if he bought a treasure that it will be updated through the jade slip outside to the central jade slip inside.
Instead of using formations that could be potentially breached by experts, they decided to use this kind of setup which could only be compromised by internal personnel.
’Smart!’ He thought.
Davis smilingly selected the weapons category, and choose spear-type. There were also plenty of different types of weapons.
A bunch of spears appeared in his view but he suddenly frowned and went back.
He thought he had been mistaken but he saw a weapon category which piqued his interest.
"Scythe..." Davis deliberately muttered, his tone quite excited.
After obtaining Fallen Death on the Third Layer, he was more or less obsessed with this weapon known as Scythe just because of the reason that it was associated with death in many myths.
Now that he saw one, he couldn’t help but grin as an urge to purchase one infested his mind.
After he selected the Scythe option, a bunch of Scythes popped out in his view.
Looking at their design and blade edge, Davis gulped as he swallowed his drool.
He selected a Scythe and its image enlarged in his view.
It looked sleek with a sharp yet slim long curved blade at the end of a long black pole attached to a red handle.
Its design immediately caught his attention, so his eyes moved to its cost.
3700 Cloud Spring Points!
Its value was equal to thirty-seven spirit stones!
He then immediately checked its grade.
Dark Crimson Scythe, Mid-Level Sky Grade Weapon. Forged by Blacksmith Helix, Peak-Level Sky Grade Blacksmith.
Without even realizing it, he smashed the buy option with his soul force and confirmed the purchase.
A few seconds later, he saw the golden door at the corner of the hall open slowly.
A human with a stiff and built body walked out, holding a large Scythe in his hands.
’A puppet?’ Davis was astonished! It was his first time seeing one.
The puppet approached him and stood in front of him as it prompted him to take the Scythe it held in its hands.
Davis extended his hand and took the Scythe while the puppet left.
His eyes gradually lost sight of it and his gaze quietly moved on to the Dark Crimson Scythe. He couldn’t gauge the grade of the puppet but guesses that it should be at the Fourth Stage since it was delivering and not guarding. He mused that the puppet guarding deep inside the treasury must be at Fifth or Sixth Stage.
But soon, his gaze concentrated on the Scythe. Its pole was 4 feet long while the long curved blade was almost 6 feet wide.
As he swung the blade without using any power, it generated a sharp current which indicated that the creatures below its level had an enormous chance of getting severed into two.
Davis’s heart thumped!
This was the weapon he needed, not a sword or a spear. He could feel that even on an instinctual level.
Lucas and Lucia glanced at him and smiled while looking at his excited expression but they didn’t say anything.
Davis nodded his head in satisfaction as he stored the Dark Crimson Scythe and went back to access the jade slip and browse.
He saw a Peak-Level Sky Grade Scythe which had a price of a whopping 235,000 CS points.
The difference between a Mid-Level Sky Grade Weapon and a Peak-Level Sky Grade Weapon was that much?
He shut down his opened mouth and decided in his heart that he will request this weapon at once when he finished the challenge with Leader Daniuis.
Going back, he continued to browse other categories such as pills, raw materials, ingredients and so on till his curiosity was satisfied.
Most of them were at Earth Grade, and a few were at Sky Grade. He mused that a little quantity of King Grade should be in the headquarters but he doubted that he would be able to find a Scythe at the level of King Grade since the only blacksmith supplying Scythes seemed to be at Peak-Level Sky Grade.
Heck, he didn’t even know when the Scythe was made or if the blacksmith was even still alive.
Ruefully shaking his head, he parted from the jade slip.
By the time he let go of the jade slip, it was already evening.
Lucas and Lucia were nowhere to be seen, he guessed that they probably returned to their room.
He placed his hand one more time on the jade slip and bought twelve spirit stones.
The puppet came out and handed it over like a robot, and with that, he also returned to his room.
For once, he did check the Cultivation Manuals but decided to not be hasty in his decision to change the manuals he used, because to change one’s cultivation manual in the middle might cause some repercussions, especially when his Revolving Core mutated like that.
Other than that, there were these weirdly missing contexts that he couldn’t place his finger upon.
Not to be confusing, but the Manual was complete yet not the same. He felt it was quite different from the ones on the Second Layer but just couldn’t put his hand on it.
After he had arrived in his room, he sat down cross-legged and entered a state of meditation before aligning thirty spirit stones in a circle around him.
Circulating the Extinction Lightning Judgement, he started absorbing energy from all thirty stones.
By the time he finished absorbing the energy from the spirit stones, he realized it had already turned night.
But what was worse was that his revolving core only grew to what one would consider halfway to Mid-Level Revolving Core Stage.
His expression grew tired when he thought about the expenses he would have to endure when increasing his Energy Condensation Cultivation.
Useless! Thirty Spirit stones couldn’t even make his revolving core grow up to the point where he could break into the Mid-Level Revolving Core Stage.
’This is the result and consequences of having a First-Grade Revolving Core...’
Although expected, such revelation caused him to have a headache as he would need to spend more resources in the future.
