Before long, Immortal-Smiting Iron had devoured every Great Dao material it could consume, leaving nothing behind.
Immortal-Smiting Iron shook its body, and the light of the turtle-shell patterns slowly faded. "Old Iron has truly fallen on hard times. Back in the day, not even dogs would eat this kind of rotten material!"
"How much have you improved now?"
Lu Ren asked.
"A good portion of my artifact patterns has been restored, but to recover to the level of a Great Dao True Weapon, I still need quite a few materials from Great Dao True Weapons!"
Immortal-Smiting Iron said, "However, with my current strength, I should be able to easily break a third-order Dao Formation!"
A third-order Dao Formation corresponded to the Dao Dominion Realm.
Even the manor-protecting Dao Formation of Exquisite Heaven Manor was merely a third-order Dao Formation. With Immortal-Smiting Iron's current strength, breaking it would be as easy as turning over a hand.
"Immortal-Smiting Iron, it seems you had quite a glorious past?"
Lu Ren teased.
"Of course!"
Immortal-Smiting Iron said, "But a true hero does not boast of past valor. This ancient city should have plenty of resources. Let's see whether we can find some materials for Dao Formations!"
"Alright!"
Lu Ren nodded. Without further hesitation, he waved his hand and swept away all the remaining resources.
After the two left the shop, they immediately split up.
At this time, Old Man of Ten Thousand Bones, the Black Demon Island Lord, and the others were also frantically looting materials from the shops. When they emerged, ecstatic looks appeared on their faces, clearly showing that they had gained quite a haul.
Lu Ren then entered a pill shop, where countless medicinal pills were displayed.
However, those pills had long since decayed, and their medicinal efficacy had already vanished.
