Tianyue City was the capital of the Mountain Kingdom. It was the center of the Mountain Kingdom, where billions of citizens lived. There were naturally no powerful demonic beasts in Tianyue City.
Gao Zhengyang muttered. He knew that it was impossible to find a suitable demonic beast in Tianyue. He could only wait for an opportunity in the future.
Lian Jinghong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, Tianyue City also sells demonic beasts, but the price is more expensive."
"If there are any suitable demonic beasts, we can also buy them."
Gao Zhengyang did not really care about the price. One tael of Black Cloud Gold was worth two hundred thousand taels of gold.
Just a few catties of Black Dawn Gold and he would have everything he needed.
There were countless demon beasts in the mountains of the East Barren. However, truly high-level demon beasts were not easy to find. At the very least, Gao Zhengyang hadn't run into any Heaven Ranked Demonic Beasts after wandering around the Eastern Wilderness for so long.
To refine the Iron Armor Profound Weapon, he needed a living demonic beast that was still intact. This made it even harder to capture.
Moreover, even if he caught a demonic beast. It would be extremely troublesome to transport them over a long distance. In comparison, it was more convenient to buy it directly.
"The three cities' Ten Thousand Longevity Tower specializes in buying and selling all kinds of demon beasts. There was also an arena inside, where the demonic beasts could kill each other for fun. It was said that the Heavenly Scripture would even allow people to enter the battlefield to fight against the demonic beasts. There are also many rich and powerful people gathered there … "
Lian Jinghong had stayed in Tianyue City for a few decades and was quite familiar with the situation there. His teahouse had all kinds of customers, so he could always hear some secret news.
"What qualifications do I need to enter the Ten Thousand Longevity Tower?" Although Gao Zhengyang was famous throughout Tianyue City, he had no foundation and knew nothing about such things.
"With Miao Seng's reputation, it's not difficult to go there. But if I want to buy a Heaven Stage Demonic Beast, there will be some problems. "
Lian Jinghong was, after all, experienced. Even if he had never been to Wanshou Tower, he knew the situation inside and pointed out that Gao Zhengyang's plan would not work.
Heaven Ranked Demonic Beasts were all extremely ferocious. Once something went wrong, it would lead to a disaster. Goku's identity was only a rank 5 warrior, and he was a Buddhist monk. What did he want a Heaven Ranked Demon Beast for? Where would he get the money to buy demonic beasts?
If the Ten Thousand Longevity Tower did not investigate clearly, how would they dare to casually sell a Heaven Stage demonic beast?
Gao Zhengyang also immediately came to a realization. Yes, he couldn't use Goku's identity to buy a Heaven Ranked Demonic Beast.
He had worked hard for the past two months to build up Wukong's reputation. Naturally, he would not give himself away for such a small matter as purchasing a demonic beast and arouse suspicion.
"This is a little difficult …" Gao Zhengyang sighed. His foundation in Tianyue City was still too shallow.
Lian Jinghong comforted, "The strength of the demonic beast is directly related to the quality of the Profound Armaments. This matter could not be rushed. I'll think of a way to get an invitation to Ten Thousand Longevity Tower and go in to see what's going on … "
"Mm, then there's no need to rush," Gao Zhengyang said. "First, help me forge a set of heavy armor for self-defense."
There was enough Black Cloud Gold, and it would be a waste to keep it. It would be better to forge a set of heavy armor first.
"I don't have many precious materials here, it's not enough to refine an Iron Armor Profound Weapon. If you want to forge the heavy armor first, why don't you make it simpler so as not to waste it … "
Lian Jinghong had been squatting here for decades, and his wealth was limited. He felt that there was no need for Gao Zhengyang to waste too much.
The Black Cloud Gold could be forged repeatedly, but the other precious materials could not.
Gao Zhengyang thought for a while, then took out a ring from the Heart Buddha Realm and passed it to Lian Jinghong, saying, "Right, there's a seal on this Earth Spirit Ring. Help me open it. There should be many good things inside. "
The earth-yellow square Earth Spirit Ring had a simple and elegant design. It looked more like a finger ring, but it was more exquisite than a finger ring. Looking closely, there were mottled spots of light inside, and it had an ancient aura.
Lian Jinghong took it and studied it carefully, his expression becoming more and more serious.
The aura of the divine sense inside the Earth Spirit Ring was as vast as the earth. Only a Rank Nine expert who had comprehended the true meaning of Yuan Qi could have such a powerful divine sense.
Moreover, the Earth Spirit Ring's appearance was very ancient, and the runes inside were things he had never seen before. He did not know where Gao Zhengyang had gotten it from.
"This is the seal of a Rank Nine expert?" Lian Jinghong could not help but ask.
"Yeah, I killed a Rank Nine expert in the Demonic World, this was left behind by him."
This ring belonged to Tu Li. After Gao Zhengyang killed Tu Li, he could not open the seal inside, so he had been throwing it in the Heart Buddha Realm.
Lian Jinghong said he did not have the materials, only then did he remember he had this ring.
Tu Li was a Rank Nine expert, and had lived for who knew how many years, and held great power. Who knew how many good things were inside.
Gao Zhengyang said it casually, but it was like thunder in Lian Jinghong's ears.
This ring was actually taken from the hands of a Rank Nine expert!
Lian Jinghong might be Rank Eight middle grade, only one level away from Rank Nine. But there was an insurmountable gap between him and a Rank Nine expert.
Rank Nine experts had an absolute advantage over those below Rank Nine. This advantage was on a fundamental level. It was hard to make up for it with numbers.
Entering Rank Seven, one would have the qualifications to be called an expert. But only by becoming a Rank Nine expert would one be recognized as an expert by all the races.
Invincible among Rank Nine experts, only those of the same rank or higher could kill Rank Nine experts.
For ten thousand years, no one had ever been able to break this limit.
Not only did Gao Zhengyang kill a Rank Nine expert, he even snatched the magic artifact of the Rank Nine expert. That was too savage. Lian Jinghong could not imagine how Gao Zhengyang did it.
Losing to Gao Zhengyang, Lian Jinghong indeed felt very sullen. This was not something a god rank Balancing Scale Contract could resolve.
But seeing Gao Zhengyang reveal his wealth bit by bit, Lian Jinghong discovered that there was a huge gap between him and Gao Zhengyang.
A Rank Eight Artifact Crafting Grandmaster, compared to Gao Zhengyang, did not seem to have much to show off.
Even a Rank Nine expert fell at the hands of Gao Zhengyang, it was normal for him to lose to Gao Zhengyang.
Thinking of this, Lian Jinghong could not help feeling balanced in his heart.
The human mind was just this strange. Lian Jinghong's situation did not change at all, but seeing an even more unlucky guy, his mood became better.
"Since the original owner is dead, the Divine Sense Seal he left behind is very easy to break."
Lian Jinghong said confidently, "Two hours at most."
Gao Zhengyang also wanted to see what surprises there were inside. He waited patiently on the side while looking through the things inside the Heart Buddha Realm.
In the Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range, he had killed a lot, especially the experts of the Mountain Kingdom. Among them, there were a few Heaven Rankers. Coupled with the many experts of the Demon Realm. There were so many that he could not even count them.
After killing so many people, Gao Zhengyang also plundered a lot of things. The Heart Buddha Realm was big enough, and he had been too lazy to fiddle with it. Today was a good opportunity to tidy it up.
He found two Rank Six weapons. One was the Shadow Bearing Sword, the other was the Rank Six Stone Slashing Sword.
The Shadow Bearing Sword belonged to the experts of the Blood Lotus Guards and could not be used in Tianyue City.
The Stone Slashing Sword, on the other hand, was snatched from the Moon Kingdom trial. Probably no one recognized it, so it could be used casually.
There was nothing else good, just a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. There were also all kinds of crude weapons and strange materials from the Demon Realm.
Gao Zhengyang found a bag with more than thirty gold primordial stones inside. He suddenly remembered that this was also left behind by a Heaven Ranker Blood Lotus Guard.
At that time, Gao Zhengyang did not understand, but now he could see that the primordial stones were of high quality, at least Rank Seven primordial stones.
Lian Jinghong boasted just now, but when he opened the seal, he found that the Divine Sense inside was as thick as soil, and he would not be able to open it in a short period of time.
Just as he was hesitating whether or not to tell Gao Zhengyang, he saw the gold primordial stone in his hand. He could not help but be pleasantly surprised: "This is a Rank Eight primordial stone, the quality is really good!"
An intact Rank Eight primordial stone could be exchanged for at least ten Rank Seven primordial stones.
Primordial stones were also divided into different grades. The primordial stone in Gao Zhengyang's hand was pure gold, which was the manifestation of the purest essence of the Essence Qi. Its quality could be said to be the highest among the Rank Eight primordial stones.
Gao Zhengyang smiled, this thing was snatched from someone, there was nothing to show off. Thinking about it, the Heaven Ranker must have used many methods to get these things, he got lucky.
Lian Jinghong shamelessly said: "Sir, this seal is a little complicated, lend me a few primordial stones to set up a formation …"
"You can use them all." Gao Zhengyang did not have any use for these primordial stones, so he generously gave them to Lian Jinghong.
Lian Jinghong hesitated for a while, then took out three primordial stones and gave them to Gao Zhengyang: "Sir, keep these primordial stones for your own protection."
Lian Jinghong was still very concerned about Gao Zhengyang's life. These primordial stones could be used at a critical moment.
Gao Zhengyang did not reject it, it was better to be prepared than not.
With the Rank Eight primordial stones, Lian Jinghong quickly set up the formation. Spiritual light shot into the sky, and the layers of Spiritual Light on the Earth Spirit Ring silently shattered.
"Hualala …" The restriction on the Earth Spirit Ring was opened, and all kinds of things inside came out.
Armors, weapons, primordial stones, demonic beast bones, and other things suddenly filled the room. Gao Zhengyang and Lian Jinghong were both buried.
"Six Eyed Monkey Eyes, Blood Jade Stone Heart, Soul Stealing Demon Horn …"
Gao Zhengyang could not see Lian Jinghong, but he could hear Lian Jinghong's surprised voice.
The sudden appearance of these things clearly made Lian Jinghong very surprised, and he even lost his composure.
This was not Lian Jinghong's fault, as a Weapon Forging Master, he had a paranoid love for all kinds of precious materials.
The materials here were Tu Li's treasures, and most of them were extremely rare in the Demon Realm. They could not even be seen in the Human Realm.
Lian Jinghong had only seen them in records, and now that he saw the real thing, he was naturally ecstatic.
Before dawn, Gao Zhengyang returned to the Pegasus Temple. He did not avoid the surrounding spies and spies. With his Rank Five cultivation, it was easy to be suspicious if he appeared and disappeared unpredictably.
In the next few days, Gao Zhengyang returned to his normal life. He stayed in the temple during the day, and would occasionally go out at night to attend banquets.
Lian Jinghong was cunning, so he did not need to worry. Forging armor was said to be easy, but it still took two to three months to complete.
In the short term, Gao Zhengyang did not want to go out anymore. His frequent disappearances at night had already attracted the attention of many people. For now, it was better to be a quiet and handsome man.
Quiet and leisurely days always passed especially quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and it was already March.
In March, the spring wind was cold, the ice and snow melted, and the grass and trees began to grow. It was the time when all living things were revived, and life was full of vitality.
People who had been stifled for an entire winter also came out of their houses. Not only did the streets become much livelier, but the number of visitors to the Pegasus Temple also increased by more than ten times.
Gao Zhengyang did not hate visitors, but he hated those who specifically came to discuss poetry with him.
There were always many young people who thought they were talented, and wanted to surpass him in poetry, so that they could become famous overnight.
Gao Zhengyang only smiled and did not say anything, but he cursed in his heart, I'm just a poet, what's there to discuss with you?
If the other party continued to pester him, Gao Zhengyang would say, "Your Excellency is talented, and I am ashamed of my inferiority."
When he said that, the surrounding people would always praise him loudly, saying that he had the demeanor of an eminent monk, and that he was a master.
This made those challengers blush, and in the end, they had no choice but to leave.
Over time, everyone praised Wonderful Monk Wukong for being open-minded, humble, and not competing. Instead, his reputation became more and more prosperous.
Gao Zhengyang also understood that the so-called famous scholars were like this. No matter what they did, there would be people to help them explain, whitewash, and brag for them.
Gao Zhengyang did not like to be famous, but as the Sect Master of the Heart Buddha Sect, he had to have a great reputation.
During this period, chanting Amitabha had also become popular.
Gao Zhengyang's horizons were broad, and he knew many famous Buddhist allusions. He was also good at all kinds of chicken soup for the soul.
With the title of an eminent monk, it was really successful to fool the believers.
Tianyue City had always been anti-Buddhist. Although the number of believers was pious, the number was still limited.
Gao Zhengyang targeted this point and thought of a ruthless scheme: Pyramid selling.
What was pyramid selling? It was the online bringing the offline. Why did the online bring the offline? It was because the offline could continue to spread and accumulate, giving rich feedback to the online.
The spread of Amitabha was not wide enough because the believers did not have the intention to develop the offline.
Therefore, Gao Zhengyang held a public dharma meeting. He explained the essence of the dharma in public.
Every time the dharma imparter passed on the dharma, he would get a blessing. The good deeds done by the imparter could also share some of the blessings.
Therefore, the more dharma imparters, the more blessings they could accumulate.
With this motivation, the believers who liked to chant the name of Buddha were full of motivation to spread this to everyone they knew.
Because of this move, the number of people chanting Amitabha had increased by dozens of times in the past month. Moreover, it was still spreading and expanding.
This situation also caused some Dao sects to feel uneasy.
For example, the Pure Yang Sect, the Tianmen Sect, and the True Yang Sect, these Dao sects located in the five cities were all affected.
Dao sects worshiped gods and needed a large number of believers and pilgrims. With this foundation, they could establish sects and recruit disciples.
Gao Zhengyang's evil scheme made many people convert to Amitabha. Of course, most people believed in gods and did not feel that there was any conflict.
But for Dao sects, this was intolerable.
Dao sects like the Pure Yang Sect belonged to the Celestial Master Mansion in name. But in reality, they were all independent sects. When they encountered problems, they tried to solve them themselves.
Because there were too many sects, Dao sects were always in a state of disunity. Because of this, although Dao sects were ten times stronger than Buddhism, they did not have much of an advantage against Buddhism.
The Pure Yang Sect's Sect Master Lu Jun, the True Yang Sect's Sect Master Xu Qing, and the Tianmen Sect's Sect Master Ma Jixing discussed and took advantage of the warm spring to go to the Pegasus Temple together.
It was noon when the few sect masters arrived at the Pegasus Temple.
The sun was warm and bright, and the cold spring breeze was a little more gentle.
In front of the Pegasus Temple, there were two long lines of people, all the way to the outside of the long alley.
These pilgrims were carrying baskets, carrying boxes, or holding incense and candles in their hands. It was like a market, extremely lively.
When the few sect masters saw this, their expressions were a little ugly. In such a shabby place, there were much more pilgrims and believers than in their sects.
"Is the wonderful monk Goku here? I, Lu Jun, would like to see you," Lu Jun said politely.
In front of so many ordinary pilgrims, even if Lu Jun did not like Gao Zhengyang, he had to maintain his identity as the sect master.
Lu Jun's voice was full of energy, and as soon as he spoke, he suppressed the noise of thousands of pilgrims.
In this area, for a moment, only Lu Jun's voice echoed endlessly.
Many worshippers were startled and looked around, not knowing what had happened.
There were also knowledgeable people who whispered to the people around them, "Lu Jun is the sect master of the Pure Yang Sect. He's an amazing big shot. "
"Big shots still have to take the initiative to greet Master Wukong!" someone said disdainfully.
That person shook his head and said, "Buddhism and Daoism have always been incompatible. This time, Lu Jun came here with bad intentions … "
"Dao sects can be unreasonable and bully people!"
"What do they want to do? There's no law …"
When they heard this, the surrounding people could not take it anymore. All of them were filled with righteous indignation.
Lu Jun did not care about these comments. The disciples beside Lu Jun, such as Shi Xuantong and the others, were full of displeasure. They stared at the pilgrims around them with a fierce aura.
The pilgrims were all ordinary people. Shi Xuantong and the others were skilled in martial arts. They just released their martial spirit aura, and it was like a bone-chilling wind in the deep winter, suppressing all the restlessness.
Although the surrounding people were very dissatisfied, no one dared to look at Shi Xuantong.
In the courtyard of the Heavenly Horse Temple, Gao Zhengyang heard the voice and said, "Sect Master Lu has arrived, please come in."
Gao Zhengyang had already expected that the people of Dao sects would not be able to bear it and would come to find trouble sooner or later.
Hearing Gao Zhengyang's voice, Lu Jun snorted, waved his horsetail whisk and walked out first, saying, "Did you hear that? He invited us in."
The other two sect masters were also unhappy. They were also sect masters, but the monk Wukong did not come to greet them. It was really rude.
However, they took the initiative to come to find trouble. Although the other party was rude, they could not just leave. They could only follow behind Lu Jun and enter the long alley together.
Lu Jun's martial arts were so good that he swaggered straight in. The long line of people in front of him was pushed to the sides by the primordial qi.
Wherever Lu Jun passed, it was like splitting water and breaking waves. The dense crowd abruptly opened a passage.
Although many pilgrims were angry, seeing Lu Jun's extraordinary aura, no one dared to make a sound.
After all, no matter how much they believed in Buddha, their lives were more important. Making a sound now was completely courting death. Perhaps even Amitabha could not protect him.
Several Dao sects' sect masters and a group of disciples swaggered through the crowd and entered the Heavenly Horse Temple.
The Heavenly Horse Temple was extremely small, but the people of Dao sects occupied the courtyard. Together with other pilgrims, there was almost no place to stay in the courtyard.
Lu Jun and the others looked serious and aggressive.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and calmly asked, "Sect Master Lu, I wonder if you came to worship Buddha or do you have any advice?"
Lu Jun's face sank again. He was an old Daoist, but Goku actually asked him if he came to worship Buddha.
"Goku, I heard that your Dharma is excellent. This old Daoist came this time to discuss the Dao with you …"
Gao Zhengyang said modestly, "Sect Master Lu is overpraising me. This poor monk is just a beginner, how can it be excellent? I am ashamed. "
Lv Jun sized up Gao Zhengyang, and a dim light flashed in his old eyes. He was thinking about how to convince this monk.
The ninth prince once told him not to provoke Goku. However, this time, the ninth prince changed his mind and let him come forward to be the villain. Then, find an opportunity to subdue Goku.
The ninth prince changed his mind because he saw that Goku's method of teaching was strange and special, it had a strange magic power to control people's nature. He was extremely shocked and admired Goku's wisdom.
He didn't care at first because Goku was just a poet monk. Reciting poetry, this kind of elegant thing was enough for him to play. There was no need to be serious.
But Goku's wisdom was so brilliant that it aroused the ninth prince's love for talent.
He didn't lack martial arts experts, but he lacked this kind of wise man who could grasp people's hearts.
The best way to subdue Goku was to suppress him first and let him suffer a big loss.
No matter how smart a wise man was, it was useless without the corresponding strength.
After Lu Jun received the task, he encouraged the other two sect masters to come and find trouble together.
The other two sect masters originally had an extremely bad opinion of Goku, so they naturally hit it off. Shi Xuantong and the others were skilled in martial arts. As soon as they released their martial spirit, it was like a bone-chilling wind in the deep winter, suppressing all the restlessness.
Although the people around were very dissatisfied, no one dared to look at Shi Xuantong.
In the courtyard of the Heavenly Horse Temple, Gao Zhengyang heard the voice and said, "Sect Master Lu is here, please come in."
Gao Zhengyang had long expected that the people of the Dao Sect couldn't help but come to find trouble sooner or later.
Hearing Gao Zhengyang's voice, Lu Jun snorted, waved his horsetail whisk and walked out first, saying, "Did you hear that? He invited us in."
The other two sect masters were also unhappy. They were also sect masters, but the monk Goku actually didn't come up to greet them. It was really rude.
But they took the initiative to find trouble. Although the other party was rude, they couldn't just brush their sleeves and leave. They could only follow behind Lu Jun and enter the long alley together.
Lu Jun's martial arts were so brilliant that he swaggered straight in. The long line of people in front of him was pushed to the sides by the yuan qi.
Everywhere Lu Jun passed, it was like splitting water and breaking waves. The dense crowd abruptly opened a path.
Although many pilgrims were angry, seeing Lu Jun's extraordinary momentum, no one dared to make a sound.
After all, no matter how much they believed in Buddha, their lives were still more important. Making a sound now was completely courting death. Perhaps even Amitabha couldn't protect him.
Several Dao Sect sect masters and a group of disciples swaggered through the crowd and entered the Heavenly Horse Temple.
The Heavenly Horse Temple was very small, but the people from the Daoist sects occupied the entire courtyard. Together with other pilgrims, there was almost no place to stay in the courtyard.
Lu Jun and the others looked serious and aggressive.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and calmly asked, "Sect Master Lu, I don't know if you are here to pay respect to Buddha or do you have any advice?"
Lu Jun's face sank again. He was an old Taoist, but Goku actually asked him if he was here to pay respect to Buddha. He really cursed people without spitting out any dirty words.
"Goku, I heard that you are an expert in Buddhism. This old Taoist came this time to discuss the Dao with you …"
Gao Zhengyang modestly said, "Sect Master Lu is overpraising me. This poor monk has just entered the sect, how can I be an expert? I'm ashamed. "
Lv Jun sized up Gao Zhengyang, and a dim light flashed in his old eyes. He was thinking about how to convince this monk.
The ninth prince once told him not to provoke Goku. However, this time the ninth prince changed his mind and let him come forward to be the villain. Then, find an opportunity to subdue Goku.
The ninth prince changed his mind because he saw that Goku's method of teaching was strange and special, it had a strange magic power to control people's nature. He was extremely shocked and admired Goku's wisdom.
Originally, he didn't care because Goku was just a poet monk. Reciting poems and writing songs, this kind of elegant thing was good to play. There was no need to be serious.
But Goku's wisdom was so brilliant that it made the ninth prince love his talent.
He didn't lack martial arts experts, but he lacked this kind of wise man who could grasp people's mind.
The best way to subdue Goku was to suppress him first and let him suffer a big loss.
