Chapter 430: Hei Gou's Pride

Hei Gou looked out the window and saw the many experts exchanging their things, which were needed for armaments, for the Two-Colored Rainbow Pills.

Hei Gou felt warm at heart when he saw that Xue Wei was getting the things he needed for armament mastery in exchange for the Two-Colored rainbow pills.

He knew that Xue Wei had some doubts, but he was not ready to tell the whole situation to Xue Wei just yet.

Hei Gou was a Primordial Beast who had mutated. The claws he used during battle might seem like any other weapon, but they were claws that had been created by his own flesh and blood, and they would grow alongside him. They would also repair themselves when broken, as long as Hei Gou was healing his body.

Normally he would use these claws when fighting and they were, in general, the most beneficial weapons for him, so why would he suddenly want to practice armament mastery?

Armament mastery was not a very illustrious profession either. Most people used a weapon of some sort; that could be a sword, a knife, a staff, a club, and so on.

All these weapons were made by armament masters. Normal blacksmiths could only forge weapons from normal steel, but armament masters used various treasured ores and minerals to create weapons that could withstand being imbued with Qi and Spiritual Energy.

Some armament masters were also able to imbue special skills into the weapons and armor that they created, but that required both impressive skills and rare materials.

Hei Gou was aware that Xue Wei wanted to save resources for their sake. He was aware that Xue Wei was under much pressure and wanted to help them, to shoulder all the trouble, and to not let them worry, but he wanted to share Xue Wei's worries.

He did not have a powerful spiritual energy; he only had his physical strength, so the only way to be able to assist Xue Wei in the future would be to become an armament master.

Although it was a tough job, Hei Gou was not against it. If he could help procure resources, then he would be proud.

Also, their group did not have an armament master. In the Ascended's Realm, they had gotten their hands on numerous weapons and armors, but these were old and not custom tailored for them, so Hei Gou knew that they were not ideal for them to use.

The best purpose for those armors and weapons would be to smelt them down and remake them into new weapons, or sell them at an auction.

Now they were going to the battlefield, and while Xue Wei had a contract with Bai Tianyi, he could not very well use the annoying child as a sword.

He was used to using the Inner Might: Qi Sword Style to fight, but Hei Gou wanted to craft him a special sword that could withstand his Qi and Spiritual Energy, one that would be able to stay by his side throughout the many breakthroughs he would have in the future.

But Hei Gou knew that if he told this to Xue Wei, then Xue Wei would not let him become an armament master. He would not let him spend his time, which could be used for cultivation, towards creating weapons.

But Hei Gou was certain in his own power. He was sure that he could do both without suffering a bit.

As Hei Gou looked out the window again, he saw that Xue Wei had finished trading the pills for the fees, and then he returned, walking towards his direction.

Straightening out his thoughts, a smile erupted on Hei Gou's lips. Although Xue Wei doubted Hei Gou's purpose, he acted fast and had already gotten his hands on some things needed to become an armament master.

Xue Wei came to the door, and Hei Gou opened it excitedly. Xue Wei wanted to say something, but upon seeing the happiness and excitement in Hei Gou's eyes, he just shook his head and handed over a storage treasure.

"I have gotten you some things," he said, "read the books first and then give it a try. If it is too hard, just leave it be."

Hei Gou smiled wryly, but he quickly accepted the storage treasure. "Thank you," he said and hurried into the room to take the books out of the storage treasure to read.

Xue Wei could see how eager he was and shook his head with a smile. He said nothing else, just shook his head with a smile, and walked away.

Although Xue Wei did not know exactly why Hei Gou had suddenly decided upon becoming an armament master, he had a good idea.

Hei Gou was one of the few of them who had no profession. Lin Xiao could tame beasts; Bai Tianyi was a master of formations and inscriptions, Xue Wei was an alchemist, a formation, and inscription master.

The only ones with no professions were Hei Gou and Luoluo, and Luoluo was slowly unlocking her inherited knowledge. No one knew if she would actually have a profession when she had grown enough.

As such, when it came to earning money, the only one who could do nothing but spend them was Hei Gou.

Xue Wei was aware of how proud this Celestial Dog was, and he was not going to try and dissuade him from something he had decided upon. He was just going to support him with all that he had.

The group around Xue Wei were not just friends. They had become like a family. Those five individuals had come together with strange reasons, but now they would never leave each other again. They had a goal that could only be achieved when they were together.
