Li Xiao gazed at the longbow named Riftwind, his eyes burning with desire, but ultimately withdrew his hand in disappointment.
He knew the elder was right. With his current standing and cultivation, he was not yet qualified to wield a divine weapon.
A high-grade treasure weapon and a divine weapon seemed only a hair's breadth apart, but the true gulf between them was as vast as that between clouds and mud.
A divine weapon nurtured an artifact spirit within it. With an artifact spirit, a weapon was no longer an inanimate object, but practically a living being. It could cultivate on its own and protect its master of its own accord, offering a boost to strength far beyond anything a high-grade treasure weapon could provide.
If he could obtain Riftwind, the power of his Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow Method would rise several notches at least. Unfortunately, he was not yet qualified to lay a finger on it.
As for a divine weapon of an even higher grade, such as the Sun-Shooting Bow, he could not even gather all its materials. Though he possessed the forging method, it remained nothing more than a distant, unattainable blueprint.
He looked away from the bow and made another circuit of the treasury, finally stopping before a pair of dark brown boots.
The boots were supple and lightweight, with intricate runes inscribed on their soles. Wind seemed to circulate faintly within them. They were clearly high-grade treasure weapons designed specifically to enhance movement speed.
He tried them on. They fit his feet as though tailor-made. With a single light step, he felt a buoyant force rise from the soles, as though every stride landed upon the wind.
Though he had failed to obtain a divine weapon, acquiring these boots was still a decent haul.
