"The old master plan has officially launched. Excellent!"In the inn, Li Yu lay half-reclined on the bed, legs crossed, sipping a small cup of wine while watching the show through the system connection."However, this host is still quite weak! With only the first stage of Dou Qi, he's practically cannon fodder for leveling up. After all, the real world doesn't have beginner villages."Li Yu frowned slightly. "I need to make sure the host grows quickly, which means I'll need to give him some beginner equipment."With that in mind, Li Yu opened the resource pool."Damn. Only saint-level weapons are left?"Li Yu realized that he had put all the low-level equipment into the mall space. The mall space was connected to his mind, allowing him to draw on its power anytime, but transmitting physical items consumed more energy than the items themselves were worth."What a blunder."Li Yu shook his head with a smile. "I might as well make a weapon!"Scanning the resource pool, Li Yu selected a broken vajra pestle and a fragment of a bronze incense burner."These broken Buddhist artifacts are just wasting space. Might as well put them to good use. Kid, you're getting a bargain."Smiling, Li Yu took out the vajra pestle and the incense burner and commanded the system, "System, repair the vajra pestle using the incense burner as material."Radiant light enveloped the items, lifting them into the air.Colorful rays intertwined, and the vajra pestle and incense burner fused together. In an instant, a four-foot vajra pestle fell into Li Yu's hand as the light dissipated."Truly exquisite, looks like a piece of art."The vajra pestle, now four feet long and bronze in color, was covered in intricate, beautiful patterns.Despite its refined appearance, it was undeniably a weapon.The pestle's head was shaped like a twelve-petaled lotus bud, with a three-sided blade at the tip. The grip was about a foot long, with four wrathful vajra guardians at the handguard and a small lotus bud at the end.This weapon could be used as a blunt instrument for smashing or for piercing with its sharp tip, making it incredibly formidable."A vajra pestle for subduing demons?"Seeing the system's name for the weapon, Li Yu understood. A Buddhist weapon with such a menacing spike seemed unusual, but it made sense for a vajra pestle meant to subdue demons.Buddha's wrathful form and thunderous demon-subduing methods were well-known. Vajra guardians, Buddhist protectors, naturally wielded fierce weapons."This weapon as a beginner's equipment is practically cheating. Xiao Feng, you're in luck."Li Yu chuckled, placing the vajra pestle back into the resource pool. Through the system connection, he transferred it to the "Taishang Danjing" system's small resource pool.Although the broken Buddhist artifacts had lost much of their power, their materials had transformed after years of exposure to Buddhist energy. They had become extraordinary. In this world, they would be powerful weapons."With this, you should have no trouble leveling up."Leaving the rest to the "Taishang Danling" to manage and guide Xiao Feng, Li Yu lay back on the bed, half-closed his eyes, and enjoyed his wine.At the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Feng peeked out from a bush, cautiously observing ahead.There was a herd of one-horned azure rhinoceroses."Young man, do you intend to hunt these azure rhinoceroses? With your current strength, are you sure you won't be the one getting hunted?"Just as Xiao Feng was about to move, "Taishang Danling's" voice echoed in his mind."Although the azure rhinoceroses have thick hides and great strength, they aren't without weaknesses. If I find the right opportunity, it's possible to take them down."Xiao Feng looked at the herd, smiling. "It's risky, but the risk is worth it.""Brave and thoughtful, not reckless, and not overly cautious. A promising talent."Taishang Danling praised him, then added, "Since you have the courage, I'll lend you a hand. Here's a weapon for you."With that, the ring on Xiao Feng's hand moved slightly, and a fierce-looking four-foot vajra pestle appeared before him."A weapon?"Xiao Feng was overjoyed, immediately grabbing the vajra pestle.Feeling its weight, he realized it was no ordinary weapon."What is this?"Xiao Feng didn't recognize the weapon from another world."A vajra pestle for subduing demons, from a world beyond. Though its divine power has faded, it once swept through demons and caused all evil to flee. It still holds great power. I hope you can bring out its former glory.""I won't let this treasure gather dust."Gripping the vajra pestle tightly, Xiao Feng felt his fighting spirit surge.A divine weapon from another world, once capable of sweeping through demons and causing all evil to flee. With such a treasure entrusted to him by Taishang Danling, Xiao Feng was determined not to disappoint.Feeling the remaining majestic power within the vajra pestle, Xiao Feng took a deep breath."Vajra pestle, let's show your power together!"With a fierce roar, Xiao Feng leapt out of the bush, holding the vajra pestle high as he charged towards the azure rhinoceroses."Seriously, so hot-blooded?"Li Yu, sipping his wine, nearly choked at the sight."Whatever. With the vajra pestle and Taishang Danling watching over him, he won't die. I'll leave him be."Cutting the system connection, Li Yu continued to enjoy his leisure time."Roar... Roar...!"The azure rhinoceroses, startled by Xiao Feng, began to react.The largest, strongest leader of the herd, feeling its authority challenged, glared at Xiao Feng with blood-red eyes, charging at him with a furious roar.Heavy hooves thundered on the ground, kicking up rocks. The massive beast, exuding an overwhelming presence, charged with its sharp horn gleaming menacingly."Come on!"Xiao Feng stood tall, roaring back. With a stomp, he leapt into the air, raising the heavy vajra pestle high before bringing it down on the charging beast."Boom!"A flash of golden light erupted from the vajra pestle as the heavy twelve-petaled lotus head smashed into the beast's skull with a thunderous impact."Thud!"The charging azure rhinoceros leader stumbled, crashing to the ground, dead silent."Hahaha!"Leaning on the vajra pestle, Xiao Feng stood tall, laughing heartily, as if venting all his past frustrations and humiliation in that triumphant moment.
