What?
A Spiritual Artifact!
All the fellow disciples looked sidelong.
Senior Brother Lu Gang had been forging since he was young, and had crafted several Spirit Weapons, not to mention people coming from thousands of miles away just to find a good blade, so he definitely wouldn't mistake it.
The eldest disciple actually gave away a Spiritual Artifact!
That's incredibly generous!
Spirit Weapons are treasures that you can't find even if you search for them.
To make an ordinary weapon come to life, it's not enough to just take a good slice of flesh from a big demon, it has to come from a part with unique life force, like that of the Crimson Fire Bird.
Even a Spiritual Artifact made of the poorest materials, just because of its properties that allow it to grow and to be repaired, has a minimum value of a hundred gold or a thousand pieces of silver. If it's a bit better, the price can easily quadruple or quintuple, with no upper limit!
