Zhang Chen held the long whip in his hand and found the restrictions upon it somewhat familiar. Upon closer examination, he realized, Isn't this somewhat similar to the God Smashing Whip? It was less than a tenth as formidable as the God Smashing Whip, but even so, it could still be called a rare treasure.
"The materials used to refine this whip are quite peculiar. Innate Qi circulates within it; it is neither gold nor wood, neither iron nor copper." As countless thoughts swirled through Zhang Chen's mind, Empress Biyun spoke from beside him.
"This is the exclusive treasure of a Golden Armored General, used to manage the warriors under his command. Queen Mother of the West took innate iron essence, combined it with the spinal bones and life souls of innate deities, and refined it in a medicinal furnace for ten thousand years before this treasure could be made. It is extremely precious. You must not lose it, or Queen Mother of the West will surely hold you accountable."
Zhang Chen hurriedly coiled the long whip into a bundle like a rope and held it in his hand. Then he said to Empress Biyun, "Though I have obtained this treasure, I do not know how to use it. I hope, Sister, that you will show me mercy and grant me a whip technique."
Empress Biyun nodded and drew a sheet of silvery-white paper from her sleeve. "There is a whip technique here. Take it and practice it. In three years, whether you have mastered it or not, you must return this paper to me so that I may return it to the Library Pavilion. As for the book Queen Mother of the West previously bestowed upon you, once you have finished reading it, you must return it as well.
