“Lord Jianwu, do you have any magical weapons or armor that are above the Half-step Nascent Soul level?” Qi Tian asked with a sneer, “If you did, you wouldn’t have thought of pushing me to the front to charge into battle for you.”

Emperor Jianwu chuckled and replied, “I have just gotten used to speaking off the cuff and I let something slip without meaning to tease Master Qi. Tell me what kind of magical weapons and armor you need, and I will prepare them for you right away.”

The Huoyang Emperor added from the side, “Whatever you need, just say the word. If we have it, we will not be stingy. If we don’t, I will definitely find a way to help you look for it.”

Qi Tian said, “I am accustomed to using staff-like magical weapons, and I don’t have any special requirements for the armor. As for their level, naturally, the higher the better.”

Both Emperor Jianwu and the Huoyang Emperor frowned simultaneously; neither of them had expected Qi Tian to use staff-like magical weapons—it was something they hadn’t anticipated.

Generally speaking, it is more common for cultivators to use sword-type magical weapons. Compared to these, staff-type magical weapons are much more niche, not to say that there are none who use them, but there are certainly fewer. However, this was not the reason that furrowed the brows of the two princes. The real reason was that although their collections included staff-type magical weapons, none of them had a high enough level, with none reaching the Half-step Nascent Soul level.

If they couldn’t meet that level, then giving them to Qi Tian to use would be of no use at all. Relying on Qi Tian to combat Yang Yongqi with weapons of such a level would be utterly unrealistic.

Emperor Jianwu looked at the Huoyang Emperor and asked, “I don’t have suitable staff weapons for Master Qi here, do you have any?”

The Huoyang Emperor shook his head and replied, “I don’t have any either. Neither of us do, so what should we do now?”

Emperor Jianwu and the Huoyang Emperor were extremely concerned. A magical weapon could be said to be a cultivator’s most important piece of equipment. Only with the right magical weapon could a cultivator be ambitious and overcome all obstacles. Especially when facing a powerful opponent like Yang Yongqi, the lack of a suitable magical weapon was simply unimaginable.

After some thought, the Huoyang Emperor suggested, “Master Qi, I don’t have suitable staff weapons for you. Could you consider changing your request to another type of magical weapon, like a flying sword, for example? I have several of those you could choose from at will.”

Before Qi Tian could even respond, Emperor Jianwu immediately vetoed, “Huoyang, what are you joking about? Can a magical weapon just be switched out on a whim? He’s used to using staffs, and suddenly switching to something like a flying sword isn’t easy. It’s not just a matter of adapting, even if one dedicates time to it, one might still not be suited to a flying sword. This involves talent and psychological adaptation. We can’t afford the slightest mistake at this critical juncture.”

Qi Tian nodded. He had used flying swords several times in the past, but every time he did, there was always a feeling of awkwardness. It wasn’t like using the Red Hoop Stick, which felt like an extension of his body, allowing him to wield it with ease and control it effortlessly.

The Huoyang Emperor understood all this; the problem was that he didn’t have it. If he did, he would definitely not be keeping it a secret and would have given it to Qi Tian to use.

Emperor Jianwu and the Huoyang Emperor wore expressions of bitterness. If they couldn’t resolve Qi Tian’s issue with a magical weapon, then whatever they said was utterly pointless. Hoping for Qi Tian to step forward was nothing more than a pipe dream, like grasping for the moon reflected in water or the flowers viewed in a mirror.

Qi Tian said, “Since neither of your collections has staff-type magical weapons, why not expand your search outside? See if you can obtain staff-type magical weapons from elsewhere.”

Emperor Jianwu nodded and said, “If we don’t have any ourselves, we truly must look elsewhere. I’ll call in the princes and ask them, to see if any of them know where we can find such magical weapons.”

Emperor Jianwu immediately sent out the order, calling Zhao Shibo and a few other trusted individuals, while the Huoyang Emperor called in Li Mijia and others.

Emperor Jianwu asked, “Do any of you know where we can obtain staff-type magical weapons? They must be at least of the Half-step Nascent Soul level. If you know any relevant information, speak up now. There will be a reward from me.”

After some thought, Zhao Shibo stood up and said, “Prince, your son has heard some news. In Xidu, someone once saw a Half-step Nascent Soul level staff-type magical weapon. However, this news is rather old, dating back several years. Whether that magical weapon is still in Xidu or whose hands it is in now, I am not clear.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianwu immediately responded, “Go to Xidu right away and try to gather some information. As long as you can confirm who holds that magical weapon, make contact with them right away. If necessary, you can use my name and have a proper discussion with them. See under what conditions they would be willing to exchange the staff-type magical weapon with us. Remember, as long as they are willing to trade, no matter how excessive the terms, you can agree to them. I can set a limit for you: as long as it does not exceed ten Half-step Nascent Soul level magical items, the trade can proceed.”
