Chapter 350

:

Lu Yang felt that although he wasn't exactly dashing, he wouldn't make the other party get his gender wrong.

He wanted to say he was a man, but when he thought of the other party admiring a Senior Brother, he didn't dare to say so.

He wanted to say he was a woman, but when he thought of the high price of buying a star chart, it wasn't worth it.

Anyway, buying it was just to guess the Senior Sister's Jin Dan, just for fun.

Better to leave while the going is good.

The Senior Brother wanted to slap himself twice after speaking; what kind of nonsense was that!

His two followers were even more ashamed; this was the Senior Brother's usual problem—he easily said the wrong thing when nervous.

The bad news was that the Senior Brother was often nervous.

It was said that the Palace Master suggested the Senior Brother consider practicing the Vow of Silence.

"No, I mean this Senior Brother, the star chart is something for a Senior Brother I admire to practice with, could you please part with it for me?"

He thought about it and felt it was better to start by organizing his thoughts with a self-introduction.

"I am Gu Qisheng, a disciple of the Changhong Palace, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, here to participate in the grand ceremony competition. I observe that your age is similar to mine, so you should also be here to participate in the grand ceremony competition."

Gu Qisheng was under eighteen and already at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. This cultivation speed was enough to rank in the top five in the history of the Changhong Palace.

Although it was said that one could freely change one's appearance when reaching a profound realm, based on Gu Qisheng's experience, if the other party were a Jin Dan or Nascent Soul monster, they wouldn't buy things in such a place. Those old monsters lived long and had rich experience, and had their own purchasing channels.

Lu Yang had heard of the Changhong Palace; it was a first-rate sect in Jizhou, but he didn't know any more information.

"I am indeed here to participate in the grand ceremony competition. Perhaps you and I will meet on the ring. As for this star chart, please go ahead, Junior Brother." Lu Yang took another step back.

Seeing Lu Yang retreating further and further, Gu Qisheng hurriedly explained: "Just now I spoke without thinking and mixed up the address. Actually, it's a Senior Sister of mine who needs the star chart for cultivation."

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Meng Jingzhou had been so scared just now that he almost used the Single Curse Fist.

Lu Yang smiled: "My interest in the star chart is just out of curiosity; it's not as important as Junior Brother Gu's marriage."

Gu Qisheng was overjoyed, took out fifteen hundred spirit stones, and bought the chart.

Fifteen hundred was not a small amount for him, but to please his personal disciple Senior Sister, it was worth it!

He opened the star chart with anticipation, only to see that the chart was covered in bloodstains, and almost nothing could be seen.

"What is going on!" Gu Qisheng was furious. He worked hard to buy a star chart, only to buy a piece of blood-wiping paper?

The vendor explained unhurriedly: "Didn't I tell you? The star chart was drawn by me with my heart and blood. It's normal to spit a mouthful of blood when drawing."

Lu Yang: "..."

Why are there pits everywhere in this market?

Meng Jingzhou transmitted his voice to Lu Yang: "Most of the things in the market are fake. One of the tests in our Meng family's coming-of-age ceremony is to buy something real in the market."

"So that's how it is. Wait, isn't one an adult at sixteen? Why haven't I heard of you returning to the Meng family for your coming-of-age ceremony?"

The age limit for joining the Dao Seeking Sect was before sixteen, and Lu Yang hadn't seen Meng Jingzhou return to the Meng family.

Meng Jingzhou was righteous and confident: "I ran away from home! Why would I have a coming-of-age ceremony if I ran away from home!"

Gu Qisheng was still arguing with the vendor: "In that case, why don't you redraw a star chart!"

"That's where you don't know the business, guest. Great secrets are hidden in the stars. Ask around over the past few hundred years—who has successfully drawn a star chart? Even if they finish drawing, they will all be destroyed for various reasons."

"And the person drawing cannot remember the layout of the stars. The fact that a small part of my star chart is not stained with blood is already extremely rare. Selling it to you for fifteen hundred spirit stones is cheap."

Gu Qisheng naturally didn't believe the vendor's nonsense, but he thought that his personal disciple Senior Sister had never had a star chart. Given her status, that shouldn't be the case.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had never heard of such a thing. Who would observe the stars and remember their positions for no reason? Lu Yang thought of the Senior Sister's Jin Dan and felt that what the vendor said had some credibility, so he went into the spiritual space to wake up the Fairy.

"Ah? Are you calling me?" The Decayed Fairy was sleepy and yawning.

Lu Yang repeated what the vendor said, which caught the Decayed Fairy's attention.

She temporarily borrowed Lu Yang's body and looked up at the sky. Although it was daytime, she could still see the stars obscured by the sunlight.

She returned Lu Yang's body.

"How is it? Did the Senior Sister's Jin Dan set up a barrier, making it impossible for the world to observe which star is the Senior Sister's Jin Dan?"

"Whether it was set up by that Yun girl, I'm not sure, but there is indeed a barrier that blocks cognition, making it impossible for people to remember the positions of the stars unless they go up to the sky to check for themselves."

Lu Yang was thoughtful. That was most likely a barrier set up by the Senior Sister, but he didn't know the purpose.

Was it to worry about enemies finding the location of the Jin Dan?

Or was the Senior Sister preventing the world from practicing star cultivation techniques?

As the stars were refined into the continent under their feet, the power of star cultivation techniques was no longer as good as in ancient times, after all, the power of star cultivation techniques came from the stars in the sky.

But there were still people who stubbornly believed that ancient things were good and wanted to practice star cultivation techniques.

"You've come to Qingzhou for the grand ceremony? Come, come, let this immortal show you the eyesight of an immortal!"

Lu Yang regretted waking up the Decayed Fairy. After the Fairy woke up, she was full of vitality, jumping around, and very restless.

Lu Yang passed by a stall. The stall owner had all kinds of books in front of him, all of which were historical, recording all kinds of historical secrets.

"Lu Yang, look at that book, it's called 《Ancient Secrets》. Buy one and let me see what's written in it!" the Decayed Fairy said excitedly.

"Boss, how many spirit stones for this book?"

"Three thousand spirit stones."

Lu Yang frowned, feeling it was too expensive. The boss took the opportunity to say: "Guest, don't think it's expensive. You should know how many unknown opportunities are hidden in ancient secrets. If you are lucky and discover opportunities in the book that others haven't discovered, then you can soar into the sky and be free and unfettered!"

"This copy of mine is the latest version, recording the latest research in the academic world on the ancient period!"

"Here are three thousand spirit stones."

Lu Yang paid and got the goods. Three thousand spirit stones were not much for him. Not to mention the inexplicably missing patent fee, just talking about the share the Nine Nether Sect would give him in the future, three thousand spirit stones were just a drop in the bucket.

Meng Jingzhou was also curious about ancient secrets and leaned over to look.

He saw the first chapter of the book writing: The ancient immortal Ying Tian Immortal liked beautiful women, especially married women, and made countless of them pregnant.

Lu Yang was confused and entered the spiritual space to ask: "Is the Ying Tian Immortal like this?"

The Decayed Fairy looked innocent: "Who is spreading rumors? The Ying Tian Immortal is not that kind of person."
