After leaving this place, Gu Chen went to the merit hall and retrieved the weapon he had previously exchanged, a long sword called Red Refinement.

This sword was about three feet long, and the blade emitted a red glow. It was forged through repeated smelting with a type of ore called Red Refinement Steel, making it a lower-grade treasure weapon.
