They ate and drank. After a while, Jin Yao could not bear it anymore. He swallowed a peanut and said to Zhou Bao, "Brother Jia, I see that you are so young. What worries you? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you!"
"Haha, it's nothing. It's just some trifles in my family. I can't think straight, so I just sighed. Sorry for making you laugh!" Zhou Bao shook his head helplessly and pretended to be embarrassed. "Unlike you, Brother Jin, you've come from thousands of miles away. You must have a big plan!"
"Haha, it's not a big plan. I'm born to work hard!" Jin Yao smiled bitterly. "This time, I came to the Remote Red Star to look for someone, but I didn't find him. Now, I have to go home with my tail between my legs!"
"Looking for someone? I don't know who you're looking for. Although I'm not very talented, I know some people on the Remote Red Star. It's not difficult to find someone!"
"Haha, thank you, Brother Jia. But I've found out that the person I'm looking for has left the Remote Red Star. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I'm afraid I won't be able to find him!" Jin Yao laughed. "But it's a pleasant surprise to meet you here!"
"A pleasant surprise to meet me?" Zhou Bao's heart skipped a beat, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. "Why do you say that, Brother Jin?"
"To tell you the truth, I've found a Hidden Treasure. But because of my lack of strength, I came to the Remote Red Star to look for a friend. Unfortunately, my friend has left the Remote Red Star to travel around, so I was delayed. I didn't expect to meet Brother Jia here. I can see that Brother Jia is young and has a high cultivation, so you must be an extraordinary person. And looking at your worried face, it seems that you've encountered some difficulties. That's why I'm disturbing you. I want to invite Brother Jia to search for the Hidden Treasure with me. On one hand, we can get some benefits, and on the other hand, we can relax. What do you think?"
Zhou Bao blinked his eyes, and his expression was one of astonishment!
He knew that Jin Yao must have come to him for something, but he didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing. How could such a thing happen in this world?
After discovering a treasure trove, because he couldn't find any friends, he pulled a random cultivator on the street and invited him to join his group. Was that even possible? Do you think this is a mercenary from a western fantasy novel? Randomly pulling people into the group and asking them to accept missions?
Looking at Zhou Bao's stunned and puzzled expression, Jin Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I know it's a bit reckless of me to do this, but I have my reasons!"
Indeed, there should be a reason. If there wasn't, it would be too ridiculous.
"I would like to hear the reason!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the genius of the Jia Clan's younger generation, Jia Qingping. I'm not mistaken, am I?"
"You're not mistaken. I'm indeed Jia Qingping of the Jia Clan, but I'm not a genius!" It was true that he had used the identity of Jia Qingping in the Infinite Star Sea, but he had never thought that this identity would be recognized by someone.
Could it be that Jia Huaiyu told him?
That's not right. Jia Huaiyu isn't that stupid, right?
"I've never been in the Infinite Star Sea. How did Brother Jin hear of my humble name?"
"Hehe, it's just a coincidence!" Jin Yao smiled bitterly and said, "As you know, the Cumulus Star is a large trading planet in the Infinite Star Sea. It has some trade with other planets in the Infinite Star Sea, including the Jia Clan. In fact, the Jia Clan is quite influential on the Cumulus Star. I have some contacts with them. More than 10 years ago, we heard that a genius practitioner named Jia Qingping emerged from the collateral branch of the Jia Clan. He was only in his twenties, but with his own practice, his cultivation had reached Level Two of the Individual Immortal Realm, which aroused the admiration and envy of many people. At that time, the supervisor of the Jia Clan on the Cumulus Star was called Jia Kou. He once showed us Brother Jia's picture!"
"I see!"
Zhou Bao realized that when he traveled in the Infinite Star Sea with the identity of Jia Qingping, Jia Huaiyu did send his picture to the Jia Clan for convenience. But he did not expect that the Jia Clan would send his picture to all the branches of the Jia Clan in the Infinite Star Sea. Therefore, his appearance was spread and he was recognized on the Remote Red Star.
Although he was a little depressed about this, he could do nothing about it. "Brother Jin, you've known me for a long time, but you were so muddle-headed in the middle of the night. Come on, drink as punishment!" Zhou Bao laughed.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll drink, I'll drink!" Seeing that Zhou Bao was not angry, Jin Yao answered repeatedly. He drank three big cups of wine in one breath and said, "Little Brother Jia, you're a young hero. Of course, I'll remember you well!"
"Hehe, Brother Jin, you don't have to be so polite. Little Brother Jia, just call me Qingping from now on. I think I'm not as old as you!"
"Okay, okay, Little Brother Jia, no, Qingping, you're a straightforward person. I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
Zhou Bao nodded with a smile. "Well, Brother Jin, we don't have to be so formal. But what does the Hidden Treasure you mentioned have to do with me?"
"It's a little troublesome!" Jin Yao said with a wry smile. "It has something to do with the Jia Clan!"
"It has something to do with the Jia Clan. Hehe, Brother Jin, don't worry. Although I'm a member of the Jia Clan, I'm just a collateral disciple. I grew up on the Remote Red Star, so I don't have much to do with the Jia Clan. So …"
"Hehe, I know. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you!" Jin Yao said with a smile, "Here's the thing. I opened a shop on the Cumulus Star. It's not big, but it's enough for me to make a living and meet my cultivation needs. But half a month ago, I made a business deal with one of my clerks. Several practitioners found a Hidden Treasure and got some low-level celestial devices from it. They came to my shop to sell them. Although they offered a high price, they were all celestial devices, and I couldn't make a loss by selling them. Moreover, there was a celestial device that I liked, so I bought it. But I didn't expect that I would get into trouble …!"
Of course, at that time, Jin Yao did not know that among the celestial devices he had collected, one of them had caught his attention. On the surface, this celestial device looked like a low-level celestial device, but who was this Jin Yao? How many people who did business on the Cumulus Star were easy to deal with? Very soon, he realized that something was wrong, because the celestial device that looked like a low-grade celestial device was actually a Pure Yang Celestial Device, a very famous Pure Yang Celestial Device, the Psychic Jade Talisman of the Jia Family. This Psychic Jade Talisman looked very ordinary, but after the Dharma power of a high-level practitioner was injected into it, it could activate a protective cover. If it was an ordinary protective cover, it would be fine. However, because of the material of the Psychic Jade Talisman, the Dharma power that was injected into it would produce a wonderful mutation, and the protective cover formed would be immune to Dharma power attacks. It was said that the protective cover of the Psychic Jade Talisman could withstand the full blow of an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven three times at a time, and the full blow of an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven three times at a time. The most important thing was that after the potential inside was consumed, it could recover very quickly with the help of a high-level practitioner. Of course, such a celestial device was extremely precious.
Of course, such a celestial device was extremely precious. Because of this, only the lineal descendant of the Jia Family, who was going to be trained as the next Family Head, was qualified to carry this Psychic Jade Talisman. Moreover, the talisman was enchanted by several big shots of the Jia Family. No matter where it was, it could be sensed to ensure the safety of the holder of the talisman.
The Jia Family had such a treasure, which was quite famous in the Infinite Star Sea. Therefore, after a careful examination, Jin Yao quickly confirmed that this seemingly ordinary jade talisman was the Psychic Jade Talisman of the Jia Family, a Pure Yang Celestial Device with pure defense.
When he discovered this, he was overjoyed at first. However, his joy did not last long. Soon, his joy was followed by great sorrow. That was because he discovered that the First Elder of the Jia Family had left more than one inhibition on this Pure Yang Celestial Device. That was to say, there was more than one Elder paying attention to this Psychic Jade Talisman. Jin Yao was scared out of his wits.
He did have some properties in the Cumulus Star, but they could not be compared with the Jia Family. After the initial joy, he found himself in trouble.
This Psychic Jade Talisman belonged to the most important disciple of the Jia Family, but now it was in his hands. Then, where was the owner of the Jade Talisman? Why did this Pure Yang Celestial Device become a commercial device and was even sold as a low-level celestial device? What did this mean?
In the cultivation world, even a fool would know what it meant when something like this happened. It must be that the things of the disciple of the Jia Clan were snatched away. If it was snatched away, it would be fine. However, if he lost his life, then he would be in big trouble.
In the world of practitioners, strength always spoke louder than words. In order to get the truth, the Jia Family would never listen to his explanation. For such a big family, what they liked to do most was to search one's soul and read the information they wanted from one's spirit. As for whether Jin Yao was dead or alive, it was none of their business.
Under such circumstances, Jin Yao's best choice was to throw the Psychic Jade Talisman away. But soon, he found that doing so could not change his current situation, because the Psychic Jade Talisman had left a mark on him. Although he could cover up the spirit of the Psychic Jade Talisman in a short time with his strength, he could not hide it forever. Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to leave the Cumulus Star and escape.
For an Independent Cultivator like him, this was indeed the best choice. He could escape and avoid being tracked. Then he could find a way to remove the mark on the Psychic Jade Talisman, and he could get a Pure Yang Celestial Device for free. Why wouldn't he do it?
