Kevin sat in his makeshift office, looking through weapon listings. There were plenty of low-grade weapons available since most cultivators avoided them if they could. They preferred getting a good weapon directly from the Cultivation Association by signing up there, which provided a black knife and armor, both of which were the best that could be made in low earth-grade for just 2000 units.
He had already discarded the knife, as it couldn't keep up with his growing strength. However, he still used the armor because of its strengthening properties over time, though it wasn't perfect. Remembering how a monster-turned-guard had easily sliced through his and Keyara's armor, he muttered to himself, "I should upgrade my gear before going back."
He didn't have to discard the armor entirely. Instead, he could repair it and pass it on to someone else since it had already absorbed a significant amount of Qi, rising from low earth-grade to mid earth-grade.
