Old Li's bun shop was facing the street. The room was not big and there were only four tables.
The two windows were open and one could see the view from the street. It also made the cramped room more spacious and bright.
Gao Zhengyang kept looking out of the window. His eyes were distant and it was unknown whether he was in a daze or thinking.
Yue Qingyu, who was sitting opposite him, tried her best to maintain her composure, but her bright eyes showed some unnaturalness, as if she was a little nervous.
Gao Zhengyang did not believe Yue Qingyu, nor did he believe the expression on her face.
Yue Qingyu was sharp and opinionated. She looked cheerful and lively, but she was firm and resolute. In terms of character, Yue Qingyu was far stronger than Yue Qingxue.
In some ways, Yue Qingyu was very similar to him. She had a clear goal, a firm will, and would not be shaken by external forces.
Therefore, although he did not believe Yue Qingyu, Gao Zhengyang admired her very much. Most people in this world did not know what they wanted, what they could do, and what they should do.
Yue Qingxue looked cold and heartless, but her heart was much weaker than her twin sister.
Yue Qingyu would not lie about such a big matter like the 7 Nation Alliance. Gao Zhengyang believed that she must have someone in the upper echelons of Yue Nation. After all, her aunt was the Sword Monarch Protector.
Yue Qingyu definitely wanted to make use of him and Yue Qingxue. But this was also his chance.
Gao Zhengyang thought for a while and said, "How do you want to make use of each other?"
Yue Qingyu thought that it was hopeless. She did not expect that when she was disappointed, Gao Zhengyang would agree. She was pleasantly surprised and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so nice."
She paused and hurriedly corrected, "It is to help each other."
"It is the same." Gao Zhengyang said, "Then tell me in detail how to help each other."
"In the 7 Nation Alliance, each country will bring a few treasures. Once the marriage contract is formed, they will exchange gifts to express their sincerity. I have inquired about it. The prince of Wind Nation, Feng Yin, went to the Moon God Capital once and met my sister. He is quite in love with her. This time, Feng Yin had brought the Magnetite Flying Star as a betrothal gift. As long as we snatch the Magnetite Flying Star, Fengyin will no longer have the face to propose … "
Yue Qingyu shook her head as she spoke. Her face was filled with pride as if she was talking about some unparalleled brilliant plan.
"That's it?" Gao Zhengyang said snappily, "The marriage is not a game. If there's no betrothal gift, then there's no need to do it!"
"A marriage alliance is not a game. The betrothal gifts are the most important."
Yue Qingyu emphasized, "The Magnetite Flying Star is an extraordinary treasure that came from outer space. It is a star-shaped core formed by the condensation of the Magnetite Divine Light for billions of years. As long as you hold the Magnetic Flying Star, you'll be able to control the deepest and most profound magnetic energy in the world. "
"What's the point?"
Gao Zhengyang had come from an unorthodox background after all. He only knew that magnetic energy was a type of vital energy, and its power was very special. As for the rest, he was not too clear.
"What's the point!" Yue Qingyu's eyes widened as if she was looking at an idiot. She sighed deeply before saying helplessly, "Simply put, if you're willing, you can immediately refine the Magnetite Flying Star into a Rank Nine Divine Soldier."
"Oh." Gao Zhengyang nodded his head and did not pay much attention to it.
The Dragon King's Halberd in his hand was a Rank Nine Divine Soldier. The Blood God Flag was a Rank Nine Divine Weapon. The Magnetite Flying Star was merely a material to refine a Divine Soldier. Naturally, he did not care about it.
"Brother-in-law, you're really …" Yue Qingyu shook her head repeatedly. "The Magnetite Divine Light is the most subtle yet the sharpest. When it is activated, it is silent and traceless. It can restrain many types of vital energy. It's extremely mysterious. It's definitely not an ordinary Divine Soldier. "
Gao Zhengyang was a little doubtful. "Why would such a good thing be used as a betrothal gift?"
"Although the Magnetite Flying Star is good, the Magnetite Divine Light is too sharp. No one can cultivate this kind of vital energy. Therefore, even if it was refined into a Divine Soldier, it would be difficult to display its power. However, in the Flying Immortal Sword Technique of the royal family, there is an Innate Invisible Sword that can control the Magnetite Divine Light. "
Before Yue Qingyu could finish speaking, Gao Zhengyang suddenly understood. "So you want the Magnetite Flying Star to cultivate this Innate Invisible Sword!"
Yue Qingyu blushed slightly. "We agreed to help each other. I'll help you and sister solve the problem. I'll take the Magnetite Flying Star. "
Gao Zhengyang rubbed his smooth chin and said doubtfully, "What benefits do we get? Even if we settle Feng Yin, there will still be other princes looking for your sister. The problem is not solved. Both inside and out, it will only benefit you. "
"Brother-in-law, you're doubting me. I'm so sad."
Yue Qingyu pouted and looked like she was about to cry. She explained, "The seven nations have a tacit understanding and will not act recklessly. Feng Yin has suffered a setback. If the other princes come out, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? No matter what happens in the future, at least this time, no one from the seven nations will propose to sister. "
"Let me consider this problem carefully …"
Gao Zhengyang did not dare to believe Yue Qingyu's words. He still had to find someone to ask about this and think things through before making a decision.
"Hmph, as if I would lie to you." Yue Qingyu gently slammed the table and said unhappily, "From today onwards, I will stay in the Heavenly Horse Temple until Brother-in-law gives me a definite answer."
"Up to you," Gao Zhengyang said generously. "No matter what, we are relatives. You can stay for as long as you want."
Yue Qingyu really did what she said. Yue Qingyu stayed in Gao Zhengyang's room for an entire day.
During the day, the pilgrims in the Heavenly Horse Temple were like a surging river, flowing endlessly. After a day, even though Gao Zhengyang did not speak much, he still felt somewhat tired. Naturally, he did not have time to bother with Yue Qingyu.
Yuan Zhen was in an even worse state. He was so tired that he could not even straighten his back. Although he liked Yue Qingyu, he did not have the strength to speak.
Dinner was only cold steamed buns and cold porridge. Yue Qingyu not only ate with him, but she also ate with relish. This somewhat surprised Gao Zhengyang.
Yue Qingyu was a Heaven Ranked cultivator. It was fine even if she did not eat for a few days. By eating with him, she was expressing her closeness.
After dinner, Gao Zhengyang left some instructions for Yuan Zhen. Then, he ignored Yue Qingyu and got up to leave. Yue Qingyu quickly followed.
"Brother-in-law, where are you going? The sky is dark, and it is cold outside. Are you going to see Liu Qingge? That woman is vicious. Don't fall for her tricks. Furthermore, you already have my sister. It is not good for you to be intimate with other women … "
As Yue Qingyu followed behind Gao Zhengyang, she chattered endlessly.
As she chattered enthusiastically, Gao Zhengyang waved his sleeves and flew up to a roof. He executed his Movement Technique and sped away.
In the dark night, Gao Zhengyang kept increasing his speed, moving as fast as an arrow. However, no matter how fast he moved, Yue Qingyu was like a shadow that he could not shake off.
Her smiling expression made Gao Zhengyang somewhat depressed.
Gao Zhengyang also knew that his Essence Qi cultivation was too weak. In terms of Movement Technique, he was far inferior to Yue Qingyu. Trying to shake her off with Movement Technique was pure wishful thinking.
Fortunately, he already had a plan. He sped all the way to the Greenwater Canal.
Standing by the canal, Yue Qingyu looked around and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing here? The plum blossoms have already withered. Could it be that you want to cause trouble for the Pure Sun Sect? Alright, I will definitely help. This fellow's backer is the Ninth Prince. Yet, that fellow pretended to be your friend. How hateful! "
Gao Zhengyang suddenly smiled mysteriously at Yue Qingyu. "Actually, this poor monk is here to take a bath."
After saying that, Gao Zhengyang flew straight into the Greenwater Canal. He took dozens of steps on the water and sank into the center of the canal.
This part of the Greenwater Canal was a few hundred meters wide. The water was vast and mighty like a river. The deepest part was a few hundred meters deep.
Yue Qingyu flew into the water unwillingly. She was like a water dragonfly. With a light tap of her toes on the water, she flew far away. Her body was graceful and graceful.
Although there was a city protection array, the water surface was like a main road to Yue Qingyu.
Although she was good at swimming, the current was too turbulent. It was almost impossible to find Gao Zhengyang who was focused on hiding. It was useless no matter how good her Movement Technique was.
After circling two rounds on the water surface, Yue Qingyu had to admit that she had lost him.
Returning to the shore, Yue Qingyu stomped her feet angrily. "Damn you, Brother-in-law. We are not done yet."
Gao Zhengyang got rid of Yue Qingyu, his little tail. He took a detour and arrived at the Dragon Gate Teahouse. He entered through the back door and went straight to the underground martial arts arena.
Lian Jinghong was refining a weapon. When he saw Gao Zhengyang, he greeted him excitedly, "Sir, you came at the right time. I have a new discovery."
He raised the Dark Gold Armor Plate in his hand and said, "I looked through the Divine Martial Arena's rewards several times and found a few good things inside. Purple Essence Crystal Stone, Heavenly Yang True Water … "
Lian Jinghong explained a lot of principles of refining to Gao Zhengyang. Gao Zhengyang didn't understand anything about the technique. He only understood one thing. He only lacked one good thing. His heavy armor could be refined into a Rank Nine Godly Armor.
Gao Zhengyang heard this and felt his heart heat up. Rank Nine Godly Armor! It could at least raise his defense by two levels.
In the last battle, Tyrant Bear's attack almost killed him. This also allowed Gao Zhengyang to see his true level.
Compared to a true expert, his titanium alloy was still far from being able to rely on. As for the Dragon King Halberd and Blood God Flag, they couldn't make up for the huge gap between him and an expert.
Rank Nine Godly Armor could be refined and placed in the Divine Palace. When he wanted to wear it, he could wear it with a thought. Just in terms of convenience, there was an indescribable superiority.
If it was a Rank Eight heavy armor, it wouldn't be easy for him to wear it well. Encountering a sudden battle, a Rank Eight heavy armor would become a decoration.
"What's still missing? I'll go exchange for it."
For the Rank Nine Godly Armor, Gao Zhengyang was extremely heroic. He still had two level two rewards that could be used. Presumably, they could be used.
"Uh, it's a Vajra Bodhi." Lian Jinghong said somewhat awkwardly, "This is a level three reward."
Gao Zhengyang looked helplessly at Lian Jinghong. This old man was also over two hundred years old. Why was he as unreliable as Yue Qingyu?
"Milord, the Vajra Bodhi is the fruit borne by the Vajra Tree. It's said that the Vajra Tree only bears fruit once every ten thousand years. Only nine fruits each time. The Vajra Bodhi is one of the hardest things in the world. It also has a special spirituality. It's very important to Buddhist cultivators. And only by using it as the core of a heavy armor can the heavy armor's quality be raised to Rank Nine. "
Lian Jinghong said, "I heard that the Buddhist Ancestral Court has ten Vajra Trees. Over a hundred years ago, there was once a Vajra Bodhi that circulated and caused many people to fight over it. "
The Vajra Bodhi was so precious. Even if you had money, you probably couldn't buy it.
Gao Zhengyang thought of Formless. With Formless's identity, he might have a Vajra Bodhi. But Formless was enough for him to take care of it. He really couldn't bring himself to ask for Formless for such a thing.
"Level three reward. Let me see how to get it."
Gao Zhengyang felt that the level three reward was not too high. He should be able to think of a way.
Activating the Divine Martial Seal, his consciousness connected to the Divine Martial Arena. His question was quickly answered.
With the Divine Martial Seal, everything became much more convenient. This kind of matter that involved the rules of the Divine Martial Arena, he could get the answer with his consciousness.
Level three reward could only be exchanged with a level three title. And there were two ways for a level two title to advance to level three. One was to participate in fifty matches. The second was to obtain five consecutive victories.
Tyrant Bear's twenty matches were also counted as Gao Zhengyang's accumulated battle record. In other words, he had to participate in another thirty matches before he could obtain a level three title.
The Divine Martial Arena's matches were very random. The opponents were not strictly divided according to their ranks.
A level one title holder might meet a level five or level six title holder in a match.
Under such circumstances, the participant could voluntarily give up and admit defeat. But without a battle, the match could not be counted as a battle record.
Thirty matches meant that he had to go through thirty battles.
In comparison, five consecutive victories was more attractive. Gao Zhengyang's victory over Tyrant Bear was tacitly recognized as a victory. It could be counted as a winning streak.
In other words, Gao Zhengyang only needed to obtain four consecutive victories to advance.
It was not that Gao Zhengyang was hot-headed, but he had considered the pros and cons. Five consecutive victories was undoubtedly the easiest way to advance.
Of course, if he met a rank nine powerhouse that he could not defeat, Gao Zhengyang would not really fight to his death!
Seeing Lian Jinghong's look of anticipation, Gao Zhengyang told him the rules.
"Sir, this is a little too dangerous. There is no need to risk your life just to forge a divine armor."
Although Lian Jinghong desperately wanted to forge a set of rank nine divine armor, he did not want Gao Zhengyang to take the risk.
No matter how good the Divine Soldier was, it was useless if one did not have the life to enjoy it.
Gao Zhengyang had long discovered that Lian Jinghong's character was very cautious. He did things meticulously, but he was easily overcautious.
Just like Lian Jinghong, who clearly had rank eight strength, had to use the Divine Martial Arena to deal with him. This kind of character was destined to not be able to accomplish great things.
No matter what, it was impossible to give one a hundred percent assurance.
Gao Zhengyang comforted him, "If you do not want to give up on the Divine Martial Arena, you must upgrade your title. Relax, I know what I'm doing. Five consecutive victories is just a goal. "
Lian Jinghong knew that Gao Zhengyang was bold and resolute. This was not something he could change. He could only sigh in his heart. He was too meddlesome! Now he had to be on tenterhooks again.
"Oh right, Master Lian, do you know about the Magnetite Meteor?"
This was the reason why Gao Zhengyang came over this time. He could not just listen to Yue Qingyu.
"The Magnetite Meteor?" Lian Jinghong said with some surprise, "It was formed by the condensation of the Magnetite Divine Light over billions of years. It is extremely precious. It fell from the sky a few hundred years ago and was snatched by the Wind Nation's powerhouses. It is now one of the Wind Nation's national treasures. "
Gao Zhengyang asked again, "What is the use of the Magnetite Meteor?"
"It has many uses. Whether it is used to refine magic tools or to refine the Divine Soldier, it has great power. Although the Vajra Bodhi is precious, it is far from the Magnetite Meteor. "
"Then why did the Wind Nation not refine it into magic tools or Divine Soldier?"
"Although the Magnetite Meteor is precious, the Magnetite Divine Light is too fierce and incomparably sharp. No one can use their body to contain the Magnetite Divine Light. Refining it into magic tools or Divine Soldier is also difficult to control. Even if you manage to control it, you will be injured by the Magnetite Divine Light. "
Lian Jinghong shook his head and said, "There is no need to refine the Magnetite Meteor before we find a solution to the side effects of the Magnetite Divine Light."
Gao Zhengyang asked tentatively, "Is there any secret technique that can resolve the side effects of the Magnetite Divine Light?"
"How is that possible?" Lian Jinghong said without hesitation, "No matter what secret technique it is, the Magnetite Divine Light must be absorbed into the body in order to circulate it. No one's body can withstand the erosion of the Magnetite Divine Light. "
"But I heard that there is a Connate Invisible Sword in the Flying Immortal Secret Technique that can circulate the Magnetite Divine Light."
Gao Zhengyang repeated Yue Qingyu's words.
Lian Jinghong still shook his head. "The Flying Immortal Sword Technique is a secret technique passed down by the Yue Nation's royal family. Of course it has its own uniqueness. I am also not sure about the profoundness of the Connate Invisible Sword. But logically speaking, no secret technique can resolve the problem of the Magnetite Divine Light. "
Gao Zhengyang nodded. He knew that Yue Qingyu would not tell the truth. Unfortunately, there was too little information and it was hard to determine her true intentions.
But after saying so much, he was quite interested in the Magnetite Flying Star. He continued to ask, "Master Lian, what is so special about the Magnetite Flying Star? Can you explain it to me?"
"The Magnetite Flying Star is formed from the Magnetite Divine Light, and it can naturally control the Magnetite Divine Light. The vital energy of the Magnetite Divine Light is extremely fine and condensed, just like tiny, sharp needles. The vital energy that we breathe in and absorb into our body will be transformed by our acupoints, which in turn nourishes our consciousness and body. The Magnetite Divine Light cannot be transformed. Absorbing it into the body is like absorbing billions of sharp needles. "
Lian Jinghong sighed and said, "You can imagine. If one really circulates the Magnetite Divine Light, the person will be pierced by billions of sharp needles and turned into dust. It is the same when it is absorbed into other magic tools. The Magnetite Divine Light will continuously destroy the magic tool's formations and runes, and very soon, the magic tool will become useless. "
"The Magnetite Divine Light is so domineering!" Gao Zhengyang asked doubtfully, "Then why are there still people interested in this thing?"
"The Magnetite Divine Light also has its benefits. It can penetrate all kinds of vital energy barriers. If one can really use the Magnetite Divine Light to fight against enemies, then most protective auras and magic tools will be easily penetrated. Moreover, when flying on the Magnetite Divine Light, one's speed will be inconceivably fast, and the consumption will be low. "
Lian Jinghong said, "According to ancient records, ten thousand years ago, there was an expert who could control the Magnetite Divine Light and killed countless strange races. In the end, he even founded a sect and left behind his legacy. Unfortunately, the legacy has long been severed, and only a few methods to control the Magnetite Divine Light were left behind. However, the most important secret technique is gone … "
After understanding the characteristics of the Magnetite Flying Star, Gao Zhengyang also had an idea in his heart. This thing was both precious and useless, so it was really suitable as a betrothal gift.
"I wonder if the Magnetite Divine Light can break the titanium alloy. If it can withstand the destructive power of the Magnetite Divine Light, the Magnetite Flying Star will be a good thing …"
These were still a little far in the future. Gao Zhengyang collected his thoughts and said to Lian Jinghong, "There is a time limit for five consecutive victories. It must be achieved within a month. I can't wait any longer. I'll go up and try my luck now … "
The vital qi that we breathe in and absorb into our body will be converted by our acupoints, and in turn, it will nourish our consciousness and body. The Magnetite Divine Light just can't be converted. Absorbing it into the body is like absorbing billions of sharp needles. "
Lian Jinghong sighed and said, "You can imagine. If one were to really use the Magnetite Divine Light, the person would be pierced into powder by billions of sharp needles. It's the same with other magic weapons. The Magnetite Divine Light will continuously destroy the magic weapons' formations and runes, and very soon, the magic weapons will become useless. "
"The Magnetite Divine Light is so domineering!" Gao Zhengyang said doubtfully, "Then why are there still people interested in this thing?"
"The Magnetite Divine Light also has its advantages. It can penetrate all kinds of vital qi barriers. If one can really use the Magnetite Divine Light to fight, then most protective aura and magic weapons will be easily penetrated. Moreover, flying on the Magnetite Divine Light will be unbelievably fast, and the consumption will be low. "
Lian Jinghong said, "According to ancient records, ten thousand years ago, there was an expert who could control the Magnetite Divine Light and killed countless strange races. In the end, he even founded a sect and left behind his legacy. It's a pity that the legacy has long been severed, and only a few techniques to control the Magnetite Divine Light were left behind. However, the most important secret technique is gone … "
After understanding the characteristics of the Magnetite Flying Star, Gao Zhengyang also had a rough idea. This thing was both precious and useless, so it was really suitable as a betrothal gift.
"I wonder if the Magnetite Divine Light can break the titanium alloy. If it can withstand the destructive power of the Magnetite Divine Light, then the Magnetite Flying Star will be a good thing …"
