However, even though the number of quotas for the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony had increased, it merely complicated matters for many disciples with lower cultivation levels.
Because competing meant demonstrating one’s strength, naturally those with higher cultivation levels had an advantage.
Previously, one only needed to pass certain assessments, which could potentially be achieved with luck, but now with the quotas obtainable only through competition, strength had become much more important.
Many sighed and lamented this change, such as Zhao Zhi.
Although Zhao Zhi had been diligently practicing the Martial Arts Secret Books given to him by Ling Xiao and had broken through to the peak of Transcendent Realm Second Layer,
his cultivation level was still not considered high.
It would be extremely difficult for him to make it into the top fifty.
There were approximately two hundred disciples within the Inner Sect of Moon Hua Sect, with about a hundred of them being Martial Artists of the Transcendent Realm First Layer.
The rest were not yet counted, so Zhao Zhi was unclear about his exact standing; he could only try his hardest to lift his strength to its current limit, hoping to snatch a quota if at all possible.
Dai Yuling’s cultivation level was similar to Zhao Zhi’s, but due to her unique cultivation method, she had reached the early stages of Transcendent Realm Third Layer.
Both of them were barely qualified to vie for a quota.
However, after Ling Xiao handed over Fine Treasure defensive magical treasures to them, their confidence soared tremendously.
With Magical Treasures in hand, Martial Artists of the same level were bound to be significantly stronger.
Especially defensive Magical Treasures, which could play a crucial role at critical moments.
Looking at the Fine Treasure defensive magical treasure in his hand, Zhao Zhi excitedly said, “Senior Brother Ling, no thanks are needed for such a great favor, I, Zhao Zhi, owe you, Ling Xiao, in this lifetime.
When I ascend to the throne, I will surely protect your family completely.”
That was the best he could do because, in terms of talent, he simply could not compare to Ling Xiao.
To say that he would save or assist Ling Xiao seemed somewhat hypocritical.
However, as the most favored prince in the Northern Han Kingdom, he could play some role in the secular world, and protecting the Divine Sword Sect should be relatively straightforward.
“By the way, Senior Brother Ling, did you receive this magical treasure from the Divine Weapon Hall?”
Although Ling Xiao was still technically an Outer Disciple, Zhao Zhi was well aware of his terrifying strength.
Even though Wu Yang and Qin Wu didn’t divulge much about what happened at Sanders Castle upon their return—merely informing Meng Yuan—Zhao Zhi could sense that Ling Xiao’s aura had changed.
So he now respectfully addressed Ling Xiao as Senior Brother.
In the Sect, the mighty were revered.
Apart from master-disciple relationships, the titles of senior and junior brothers and sisters were determined by cultivation levels, which also served as an incentive.
“Divine Weapon Hall?”
Ling Xiao paused for a moment, unaware that such a place existed within Moon Hua Sect.
“You can’t be serious, Senior Brother Ling; the Divine Weapon Hall has quite a few fine treasures.
You wouldn’t have exchanged all the Sect contribution points you earned last time for Martial Arts Secret Books, would you?” asked Zhao Zhi in surprise.
“No, I haven’t used them yet because I was in a hurry to leave the Sect for training,” replied Ling Xiao while stroking his chin, thinking that he really should pay a visit to the Divine Weapon Hall.
Magical Treasures weren’t limited to weapons and armor.
They also included special items that assisted in cultivation and combat, and of course, Secret Scrolls, which were considered a type of magical treasure as well.
Ling Xiao had experienced the potency of Secret Scrolls and many other supplementary and offensive Magical Treasures.
Now with ample Sect contribution points, there was no need to exchange them for Secret Manuals.
It might be better to exchange for a few Magical Treasures to have on hand.

In doing so, his combat abilities would increase substantially even among peers of the same Cultivation Level.
After all, anything could happen during the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony; the more protection one had, the greater the chance of success.
“Thank you for the reminder, Junior Brother Zhao.
I’ll go check out the Divine Weapon Hall right now.”
After parting with Zhao Zhi, Ling Xiao secretly delivered his last Fine Treasure defensive item to Shangguan Lei, making sure that no one would see him.
Then, he found out the location of the Divine Weapon Hall and hastened towards it.
The Divine Weapon Hall, just like the Array Method Hall and Pharmacy Hall, was one of the more important branches within the Moon Hua Sect.
The only difference was that the masters of both the Array Method Hall and Pharmacy Hall were martial artists at the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.
However, the Hall Master of the Divine Weapon Hall was a real Heavenly Lord.
Furthermore, this Hall Master was an old acquaintance of Ling Xiao—Golden Light Heavenly Lord, who was also Leng Hao’s mentor.
“Hahaha, little guy, it’s nice to see you again, eh?”
The Golden Light Heavenly Lord greeted Ling Xiao with great friendliness.
Although Ling Xiao had refused to become his disciple, he wasn’t the type to hold a grudge.
“So, it turns out the Heavenly Lord is actually the Hall Master of the Divine Weapon Hall!”
Ling Xiao greeted the Golden Light Heavenly Lord with a bow, holding him in high regard.
He then explained the reason for his visit.
“Looking for a support-type treasure?
Alright, that’s no problem.
You pick whatever you like.
For the first item, I can give you a 50% discount, and starting with the second item, all can be discounted by 20%!”
The Golden Light Heavenly Lord said with a smile.
“Are you sure you’ve thought this through, Heavenly Lord?
Last time I made a great contribution to the sect, and all exchanges for pills, martial arts secret manuals, and weapons were supposed to be at a 20% discount.
What you’re offering is a discount on top of that.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“Of course, I’m well aware of that.
Since the Moon Lady has taken notice of you, you are the future hope of our Moon Hua Sect.
I have only one request for you: within the limits of your abilities, help Leng Hao a bit more,” the Golden Light Heavenly Lord explained his reasons for giving Ling Xiao such favorable terms.
“If you say so, I naturally won’t refuse,” Ling Xiao responded.
Helping Leng Hao was merely a small effort for Ling Xiao, yet it gained him the powerful support of the Golden Light Heavenly Lord.
Even without the discount benefits, Ling Xiao would have agreed; he did the math very clearly.
“In that case, come with me.
Although you said you wanted to choose supportive weapons, I think you should look at everything.
In fact, even the same type of weapons can have completely different attributes and functions,
Golden Light Heavenly Lord talked while leading Ling Xiao into the Divine Weapon Hall.
“I’m aware that you have two treasured swords, which are probably at the level of Precious Treasure Artifacts, but both of your swords have ice and snow attributes.
I think it would be better if you chose some swords that match your attributes; that way, they’ll be more suited to your power.”
His words served as a reminder to Ling Xiao.
The Twelve Golden Lotus Art contained twelve powers of celestial phenomena.
However, both his Ice Dragon Sword and Floating Snow Sword had ice and snow attributes, which clearly wasn’t the best match.
He needed swords of wind, thunder, rain, and lightning attributes to more effectively harness the power of the celestial phenomena.
Of course, if he could acquire all twelve celestial phenomena powers, that would be even better.
“I understand, thank you for the advice, Heavenly Lord.”
Ling Xiao nodded, his mind already made up.
In the Divine Weapon Hall, the first area upon entering was the trading space for Divine Weapons.
On the counters lay an array of Divine Weapons with different shapes and attributes.
