The next morning, Grandmaster Wu sent a carriage and a few people to the academy to escort Yang to the alchemy meeting. Yang’s purpose was not to go sightseeing but to find a defensive treasure to protect himself. Attack-type treasures mostly depended on the user’s spiritual power, meaning the stronger the user, the more powerful the attack treasure. Defensive treasures, on the contrary, depended on the creator’s spiritual power and the materials used to create them. Meaning the stronger the creator’s spiritual power and the better the materials used, the more effective the defensive treasure would be.
That doesn’t mean a kid wearing a defensive Divine Treasure can defy the heavens, because activating a defensive Treasure still requires a large amount of spiritual power. For example, a level 6 Spirit Warrior with a large soul like Duong can only activate a high-level defensive Divine Treasure once to withstand a blow from a high-level Spirit Assistant.
Arriving at the alchemy meeting, Duong was welcomed by Grandmaster Vu and given a tour, introducing several high-level alchemists in the meeting. Although he was only a grandmaster, being a grandmaster at the age of 13, Duong could be said to have a limitless future, even having the potential to become a Divine Master in the future, so none of the grandmasters dared to consider themselves superior and always warmly welcomed Duong.
Master Vu led Duong into a carefully guarded room.
“This is the Mysterious Treasure Research Room, only Grandmasters and above and those with great contributions can enter, but I asked the guild master to make an exception to let you enter once to broaden your horizons.”
Inside the room, there was an old man about the same age as Master Vu holding a piece of rusty iron.
“Hello, Grandmaster Lam!” Grandmaster Vu led Duong to greet.
“Grandmaster A Vu, taking your grandson sightseeing, be careful or you’ll be punished!”
“Nonsense, this is the 13 year old grandmaster Vo Phi Duong!” Grandmaster Vu solemnly introduced.
“Is that so? Hello little genius!” Grandmaster Lam’s attitude changed completely.
“Hello, Grandmaster Lam.” Duong politely greeted back.
“How are you doing with that piece of rusty iron?” Master Vu picked up the palm-sized piece of rusty iron and asked.
Grandmaster Lam shook his head: “I don’t know, it seems to be a piece of some kind of armor, but it’s probably useless.”
Another fragment, Duong couldn’t help but remember the fragment of the Nghich Thien sword, so he asked Google: “What is that?”
Google replied indifferently: “A fragment of one of the 12 divine objects, the Phù Đổng Thiên Vương armor.”
Phu Dong Thien Vuong, also known as Thanh Giong, one of the Four Immortals of Vietnam.
According to legend, during the reign of the sixth Hung King, in Phu Dong village there was a woman who was 12 months pregnant. Her baby named Gióng was born and at the age of 3 still could not speak. Then, the enemy invaded from nowhere. Hung King was told by the Dragon King in a dream, announcing the recruitment of talented people to save the country.
Hearing the news, the child suddenly spoke and told his mother to call the messenger in and say: “Please give me a sword, a suit of iron armor and a horse, the king has nothing to worry about.”
The king gave him a sword, armor and a horse. The child suddenly grew up very quickly. He put on his armor and rode his horse to the battlefield, defeated the enemy, and then rode his horse back to heaven.
Although there are exaggerated details, the hero named Giong was real, and the clearest proof is the Phu Dong Thien Vuong armor, one of the 12 divine treasures.
Grandmaster Lam examined the piece of iron for a while and then said dejectedly: “It’s probably just a piece of rusty iron. Let’s use it as raw material for smelting…”
“Grandmaster Lam, can you give me that piece of iron?” Duong quickly said, Google had shown him a method to restore the armor piece.
“Do you know what it does?”
“No, I’m just curious about antiques and want to learn more.”
“Okay, here you go!”
Duong hid his joy, tried to act curious, received it and thanked Master Lam.
Then Duong asked Master Vu to help buy some ingredients and returned to school.
