Chapter 67

Unknowingly.

A faint light rose on the Prayer Jade, surging with bursts of cool aura.

Jiang Jian felt his mind calm down.

The slight irritability was almost swept away.

"This Prayer Jade actually has this kind of use."

Jiang Jian turned his palm and grabbed the jade pendant in his hand.

The touch was cold and hard, making one's mind clear and bright.

In contrast.

The Qi-Gathering Bracelet he wore on his hand, although it could gather spiritual energy, its actual use was not very obvious.

"Compared to Divine Gift weapons."

"These technological equipments are indeed inferior."

Jiang Jian put away the Prayer Jade and walked out of the bedroom.

The robot butler came to greet him, the holographic screen in front of it flashing, showing tonight's menu.

"I'm going out for something; you can go back to the machine room."

Jiang Jian walked past it.

The sky was getting dark, but the school district was still brightly lit.

Below the dormitory building, Shi Xuan carried the Moon-Chasing Blade, his expression ambiguous: "Jiang Jian, we've been waiting for you; hurry up and get in the car."

Jiang Jian boarded the air shuttle and said: "Played some Heavenly Ladder ranking matches."

The next second.

Jiang Jian held the ramp and stopped.

In the seat in front, sat the young girl wearing the school skirt.

She sat upright, originally with a cold face, but when she saw Jiang Jian, she gritted her teeth slightly, her eyes showing resentment.

Clearly, she was still holding a grudge about the sneak attack just now.

Behind the cabin, Shan Ye's voice came through: "Jiang Jian, what do you think of Yinyin?"

Jiang Jian didn't pay any attention to her at all and sat down directly in a seat.

The girl called "Yinyin" also turned her head away: "Stop talking nonsense."

Shan Ye's smile was mischievous: "But I think you two are a really good match. Yinyin, haven't you always told me that you have high standards and want to find someone good-looking? Jiang Jian is so good-looking, doesn't he meet your requirements?"

Yinyin supported her forehead with her hand, her black hair hanging down, her tone quite helpless: "Don't play matchmaker blindly."

She had just taken a shower, and the fragrance of shower gel was soaked between her slender white fingers, accompanied by the pleasant scent of a young girl's hair, drifting into his nose.

Shi Xuan boarded the air shuttle last, glanced at Yinyin, then winked at Jiang Jian, his smile strange.

Jiang Jian also ignored him, sat in the window seat, and asked Liu Tiezhu: "What's the difference between the pet shop in Haicheng and the pet market in Tier 2 Jiangcheng?"

Liu Tiezhu sat down beside Jiang Jian: "Do you want to buy a pet?"

Jiang Jian said: "I'm going to Haicheng to buy a batch of pets."

Liu Tiezhu thought for a moment and said: "The pet market in Tier 2 Jiangcheng is mostly based on novelty and curiosity, with a wide variety and expensive prices."

"The pets sold in the Haicheng pet shop are basically more practical and much cheaper."

While speaking.

The air shuttle started, and in just over ten minutes, it drove out of the Mount Tianzhu track and left Tier 5 River City.

Sea City stood on the edge of the Mount Tianzhu range.

On the edge of the sea, the Glazed Sea Curtain was endless, reaching up to the giant Mount Tianzhu and touching the edge of Sea City below.

Magnificent and majestic, extremely spectacular.

"Jiang Jian, raising pets is very troublesome."

Liu Tiezhu said, "We practice every day; I'm afraid we don't have time to take care of pets."

Jiang Jian said: "I'm buying pets for another purpose."

Liu Tiezhu didn't ask any more questions and took out his identity device, clicking a few times.

The next second.

A semi-transparent particle light screen appeared, solidifying around the two, isolating all sound.

"I got a piece of news through a special channel."

Liu Tiezhu's expression was slightly solemn, "Jiang Jian, do you know about the Two Prefectures Dao Discussion?"

Jiang Jian was silent.

Liu Tiezhu raised his identity device, sent a communication to Jiang Jian, and said: "The Two Prefectures Dao Discussion is very important for us freshmen!"

"In a month."

"Linjiang Prefecture, Hanjiang Prefecture."

"All Divine Gift universities in the two major prefecture territories will have an academic exchange."

"Among them, what is closely related to us is the Two Prefectures Martial Discussion, which covers dozens of Divine Gift universities and 100,000 freshmen."

"100,000 freshmen, discussing the Dao with martial arts!"

"The one who takes first place not only gets incredible, rich resources."

"But can also get the glorious title jointly conferred by the two prefecture government offices and the two prefecture Prayer Temples."

"Two Prefectures Student Leader!"

Liu Tiezhu's eyes brightened, "Jiang Jian, don't you want to compete for it!"

The world is bustling, chasing fame and fortune.

Very few people can resist the temptation of fame and fortune.

Jiang Jian pondered slightly and asked: "What are the resource rewards?"

Liu Tiezhu was disappointed that he didn't live up to expectations: "Isn't the title of Two Prefectures Student Leader enough? This is an honor that can be recorded on the identity device, bringing glory to one's ancestors, and passed down for hundreds of years!"

Jiang Jian was noncommittal.

Liu Tiezhu pointed to the identity device and said: "Although I don't know the specific resource rewards, I can tell you that it's definitely enough to support a freshman to practice to the Spring Realm."

The particle light screen emitted a faint light, isolating all sound.

"Then let's give it a try."

Jiang Jian raised his head and looked at the front of the cabin, "Is that Yinyin going to join the study team?"

"Yes, her talent is very powerful; although it's Body, it's very rare."

Liu Tiezhu looked in the direction of his gaze, "If you think she's not qualified enough, I can ignore Shan Ye's face and change to someone else."

Jiang Jian said: "When I was playing the Heavenly Ladder ranking tournament just now, I encountered her; her talent is indeed very strong, and her strength is decent among freshmen, but her combat awareness is too weak."

Liu Tiezhu said: "Next weekend, we will go on a learning mission together, while grinding and testing her level. If it doesn't work, we'll replace her."

Jiang Jian nodded: "Hmm."

"Regarding the Two Prefectures Martial Discussion, when you have time, take a good look at the email I sent you."

Liu Tiezhu turned off his identity device and removed the sound-isolating particle light screen, "If we confirm participation, our five-person study team will be temporarily set."

Jiang Jian replied: "Okay."

While speaking.

The air shuttle flew out of Mount Tianzhu and fell toward Sea City.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening.

At the end of the sky, the azure sea curtain hung down.

Forming a semi-transparent, massive vortex, suspended in the sky, rotating slowly.

"Every time I see the Glazed Sea Curtain of Haicheng, I feel very shocked."

Shan Ye stood by the porthole, looking out.

The Glazed Sea Curtain blocked the sea, emitting a beautiful blue light, illuminating Haicheng like daylight.

"That's the pet shop."

Liu Tiezhu spoke suddenly.

Jiang Jian stood up and followed his gaze.

On the edge of the sea curtain.

A building was majestic and luxurious, built suspended in the air.

Countless streams of light streaked across the night sky, circling the building back and forth.

"Shi Xuan, I'm going to the pet shop."

Jiang Jian said, "You don't have to wait for me; I'll find you later."

This large air shuttle was called by Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan was a bit surprised but didn't ask much.

While inputting commands into the identity device, he said: "Then I'll go with you."

Liu Tiezhu said from the side: "I won't go."

The air shuttle landed at the ship field.

Jiang Jian walked off the air shuttle, and Shi Xuan jumped down behind him.

"What are you buying pets for?"

The cabin door behind them closed, and Shi Xuan looked confused.

"Naturally, to use them."

After speaking, Jiang Jian walked straight toward the pet market.

Pets refer to spirits and ghosts that have just been born.

Back in Guangling City, Jiang Jian accepted a commission in the black market, and the ghosts he killed all belonged to this category.

Not every ghost can receive an identity device and become a non-formal citizen.

Newly born spirits and ghosts need to apply to the local city government and go through layers of review before they can get their own identity devices.

Before that, they are not protected by law.

But most of the time.

These newly born spirits and ghosts are slaughtered clean.

They have no chance to go to the city government to receive an identity device.

The female ghost "Miao Miao" that Jiang Jian killed back then was just born and couldn't leave the cloakroom at all.

This kind of ghost is weak in power and doesn't even know what an identity device is.

Killing them doesn't violate any laws at all.

Many people catch these unprotected spirits and ghosts and sell them.

Over time, a "pet market" was formed.
