Of course, fighting barehanded might still be a bit difficult.
So Qin Changqing created two lower-grade treasures for himself.
A spear and a shield.
These two lower-grade treasures were meant for him to use in close combat at crucial moments.
The reason for choosing a spear is that when it comes to body cultivators, the heavier and sharper the weapon, the better.
If it were a sword, it would have to be a very large sword.
The slender swords seen in TV shows would break with just one strike from a powerful body cultivator.
Even the magical treasures of cultivators, even swords, are rarely very long.
Like the Feixian Sword, though it's a lower-grade treasure, it's still short and extremely sharp, making it even more powerful.
Long swords are not impossible, but at this stage, being too long could bring about many disadvantages.
One can't just focus on aesthetics and ignore the drawbacks.
