Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 389

Chapter 389: 389
As an organization established before the regeneration of Spirit Qi, the Golden Foundation had a rich history of magical weapon collection and the corresponding research on their repair .
But none seemed to have mastered the techniques of weapon restoration and very few were able to even create primary weapons .
Currently, like the Heavenly Network, most organizations had adopted a tactical measure by building standard magical weapons infused with Spirit Qi-conducting metals .
However, the scientific means were incomparable to the ancient techniques, which produced weapons of much purer Spirit Qi concentration .
After the long, dark ages of Spirit Qi exhaustion, those smelting techniques devised by ancestors had almost gone extinct . As a result, people were maniacally obsessed with remains, in which numerous magical weapons were kept intact, as though sealed from the outside world .
Trading his extra resources for weapon scraps was a worthy deal for Lu Shu . The two standard swords from inexplicable sources had already been fed to the divine water, but their sub-standard forging measures failed to bring about much increase in the size of the water .
On the other hand, Li Xianyi had sent Lu Shu a total of fifty weapons scraps from the Golden Foundation and all were determined to be beyond use or repair .
As soon as Li Xianyi stepped into the safety house, Li Yixiao excused himself, saving Lu Shu the effort of hiding the matter from him…
Then, Li Xianyi frowned in concern, “Nowadays, only Practitioners keen in weapon forging are interested in these things . Why do you want them? Do you want to study forging techniques too? Of course, you don’t have to answer me . I’m just asking . “
“Just a while ago, Nie Ting killed a Class B water-type Metahuman . Are you aware of that?” Lu Shu asked in reply . Judging from the severity of the matter, the Golden Foundation had no reason to be ignorant .

Li Xianyi froze, “You have that Metahuman’s killer weapon?”
Not only was Li Xianyi aware of the matter, he also knew that the person’s killer weapon was both money and weapon consuming .
Precisely due to its expensive nature, the Class B expert had committed countless unforgivable crimes and taken too many lives, just for money and magical weapons .
But Li Xianyi was uncertain about one thing, “I heard that he fed it with first-class weapons, gained through legal or illegal means . Will it still work if you give it so many weapon scraps? That’s a killer weapon! Who knows what may happen?”
“Doesn’t matter . It’s not particular about its diet,” Lu Shu grinned . While others were concerned about affecting its growth with defective items, Lu Shu did not care at all . After all, weapon scraps were still edible .
Otherwise, he was unwilling to give away fine weapons, except for things such as the standard swords which were unsuitable to be seen in his possession .
Lu Shu did not have the guts to mention that he was planning to feed the divine water with chives…
In the old man’s presence, he gave all the scraps to the water in one shot . Every piece slowly dissolved upon contact with the all accepting divine water, until the latter regained its clarity and golden glow .
In this process, the water had doubled its size . Then, Lu Shu controlled the water to form an armor around his entire body, “It may save my life in the remains . “
Li Xianyi raised his brows in surprise . Other people’s armor was a thin shell over the body, but Lu Shu’s seemed more impressive, like a full-length down jacket… with golden light all over!
“How scared are you?!” Li Xianyi could not stand him any longer, “Are you preparing for a moon landing in your spacesuit?”

“Wouldn’t it be wasteful if I don’t use it?” Lu Shu was in high spirits, “Please think about it . The moment other people try to attack me, their magical weapons will get worn away on my divine water . Therefore, can I call myself the weapon killer?!”
Personally Lu Shu thought it was a good name…
There were side effects as well . Before long, two footprints were corroded out on the floor . Had he stood still for a while longer, he might have been able to drill a well…
Speechless, Li Xianyi left . Before that, he reminded, “Although the Golden Foundation has loads of weapon scraps, I do not own them all . However, we will give them to you at the lowest price possible if you have other things for exchange . You have my word . “
Suddenly Lu Shu felt sorry for himself . If he had known earlier, he should have gone straight to the old man the day before! Now, there was no way for a refund as both the magical weapons and the statue were gone…
Speaking of which, he took out his purple golden gourd for another look, shaking it so violently that the flying dagger was about to vomit inside!
Truth be told, Li Xianyi was curious about Lu Shu’s remaining trump cards . Despite coming from a humble background, the siblings seemed to always have luck on their side .
He was well aware that Lu Shu’s membership at the Heavenly Network would never bring him such luxurious welfare . Moreover, those petals certainly did not belong to the Network .
So, what else did he have?
This was out of pure curiosity, or even a sort of expectation . Li Xianyi had a hunch that the kid would become a great surprise to the entire world .
It was a strange but inexplicably firm feeling .
Lu Shu raised another question before Li Xianyi left, “Why is the Foundation so persistent in protecting mankind? As we all know, generally speaking, it’s a peaceful era now . No one would intentionally destroy our common home should there be a fight . That’s an agreement . “
Li Xianyi shook his head, “We are protecting our future . Humans should have the capacity to defend against disasters when they befall us one day . The Golden Foundation is not in control of Practitioners from across the world, but neither can we watch and do nothing as they undermine the future of cultivation . Mankind must aim to be more prosperous, which justifies acts of violence, a bridge to a better world . “
Lu Shu suddenly realized that it was not people that the Foundation was wary of!
As for what were the so-called disasters, Li Xianyi remained tight-lipped, the same as Chen Baili’s reaction .
But it was not of much concern for Lu Shu . To him, in times of tragedies, his only duty was to protect Lu Xiaoyu and others who had been kind to him from harm .
At this moment, a giant wave of Spirit Qi rolled towards them from the Pattaya coastline, much stronger than ever before!
Looking out at the streets through the window, Lu Shu saw Practitioners running in that direction . Many low-level Practitioners had to seize this opportunity for final training before entering the remains for leftovers!
Finally, the opening of the Pattaya remains was just around the corner, right over on the island!
