However, if Yu Ban really thought that not telling him could stump him, then he was greatly mistaken. He wasn’t a naive youngster who hadn’t seen the world. Even if he hadn’t studied Spirit Weapons in depth in his previous life, he could still recognize the difference between Xuan Tian treasures and spirit weapons.
So, he leisurely and unhurriedly browsed the Weapon Vault.
After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Yang Chen gradually stopped walking.
His gaze fell on a grayish silver nail made of an unremarkable material. It looked rather ordinary, but Yang Chen picked it up and held it in his hand, then asked with a smile, “Senior, is this a Damaged Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure?”
“Kid, I’m under no obligation to tell you, whether it is or isn’t; you have to judge for yourself.” Yu Ban, cunning and crafty, smiled without giving anything away.
What frustrated Yang Chen was that these old fellows were hard to read. It was extremely difficult to discern anything from their expressions.
However, since he had chosen this silver nail, he had some confidence in it.
He grinned, “Senior, I won’t choose anything else, just this silver nail.”
“Are you sure?” Yu Ban narrowed his eyes.
“Definitely, very sure.” Yang Chen was full of confidence.
Yu Ban laughed, “Hehe, kid, I like your personality. You are quite confident and not easily deceived, and you have good eyesight. This silver nail is indeed one of the few Damaged Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasures in the Weapon Vault. This nail is called the God Piercing Nail!”
“God Piercing Nail? Sounds quite domineering.” Yang Chen murmured.
“The name isn’t just for show, I don’t know what a god is, but this nail has indeed killed quite a few powerful people.” Yu Ban explained.
“Senior, you can’t just say it without explaining. What exactly is the use of this God Piercing Nail?” Yang Chen questioned.
Now that Yang Chen had confirmed that he wanted the God Piercing Nail, Yu Ban naturally wouldn’t obstruct him: “The use of the God Piercing Nail is simple: aim, use your True Qi, and it will pierce directly towards your opponent to kill. As for its effects, well… The purpose of the God Piercing Nail is to kill people. However, unlike others, the God Piercing Nail’s greatness lies in the fact that it is hard to catch once released, and its speed is as fast as lightning.”
“Even if the nail is damaged now, you can’t use its full strength. At most, you can kill an ordinary Origin Martial Realm third or fifth level master, don’t expect too much.” Yu Ban waved his hand dismissively.
Yang Chen was completely dumbfounded.
Killing an Origin Martial Realm third or fifth level master, Yu Ban seemed to still not be very satisfied with this effect.
He was only at the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm.
It seemed this Xuantian treasure was indeed extraordinary; just a damaged Xuantian treasure could allow him, with his Ling Wu Realm peak strength, to kill Origin Martial Realm powerhouses!
Yu Ban rubbed his chin, “However, it’s a pity that this is only a damaged product, with some damage. I don’t know if it could be fully repaired; its power would be greatly discounted. If it could be completely restored, its power would be much greater.”
“Senior, with this level of power, your junior is more than satisfied.” Yang Chen smiled.
The complete version of the God Piercing Nail seemed powerful, but what use was wishing for it.
“You kid, you’re easily content. Alright, you’ve already forfeited two chances, and you have one more chance. Kid, what will you choose?” Yu Ban asked.
Yang Chen didn’t rush to choose, but looked at Yu Ban with a sneaky expression.
This puzzled Yu Ban, and he said angrily, “Kid, what are you looking at me for? You have such a sly look; I know there’s no good coming. Are you not satisfied with these treasures that I have displayed?”
“Senior, your junior isn’t dissatisfied, just curious about something…” Yang Chen said.
“Curious about what?” Yu Ban inquired.
“Senior, have you ever thought about passing on your skills? Your junior is willing to exchange one opportunity for it.” Yang Chen proposed.
He had this idea since he saw Yu Ban’s abilities.
This understanding of prohibition techniques was simply unparalleled.
Yu Ban rolled his eyes, “Kid, I didn’t think you’d want to learn my prohibition skills. I appreciate that. Nowadays, these youngsters are all too obsessed with martial arts training; they should practice some side skills as well.”
“Exactly…” Yang Chen was about to flatter him.
However, before he could do so, Yu Ban said, “Kid, it’s not that I look down on you, but when you entered, I observed you. You don’t have the talent for studying prohibition techniques. Give it up; it’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but your talent… tsk tsk, it’s a bit lacking.”
“No, senior, although your junior’s talent is lacking, I’m diligent! Furthermore, my love for the Way of Forbidden Methods has been there since I was a child.” Yang Chen shouted immediately.
He knew his talent for prohibition techniques was average.
At least in Yu Ban’s eyes, this top-notch prohibition expert, his talent was indeed average.
However, he didn’t plan to study it after all. He hadn’t even fully explored the Dao of Talismans yet, so where would he get the energy to learn Yu Ban’s Way of Forbidden Methods? But he didn’t have to study it; someone else could. The Fishpeople Tribe was immensely knowledgeable; they could completely study the Way of Forbidden Methods!
Although the Fishpeople Tribe inherently had a unique understanding of the Way of Forbidden Methods, the uncontrollable nature of their inherited memory acquisition made it difficult to rely on it. Instead, it would be better to let them study while unlocking their memories. When the time came to combine these two facets of prohibition knowledge, even Yang Chen couldn’t imagine it.
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s flattery, Yu Ban tsked, “Alright, kid, stop playing tricks with me. You’re not the type. But seeing that you genuinely want to learn, I’m not opposed to giving you a chance. We’ll see when you enter the Inner Area; if you pass the Great Emperor’s assessment, it would mean the Great Emperor acknowledges you. If the Great Emperor can acknowledge you, I, as an old man, will have nothing to say. Even if my Way of Forbidden Methods humiliates you, I will still pass it on to you without hesitation.”
“This…” Yang Chen laughed, “Alright, let’s settle on that.”
Yu Ban impatiently said, “Alright, one last chance. Choose carefully, kid. By the way, there’s a little girl outside who’s almost reached the Heavenly Palace. Your strength is far inferior to hers; hehe, you better hurry.”
“What, senior, how much longer before that woman arrives?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask.
“Probably just three to five hours. It gets harder further on; she won’t reach it in an instant. Her foundation at the same level is still somewhat lacking compared to you.” Yu Ban appeared indifferent, but he secretly appreciated Yang Chen’s few flattering words.
