Looking at Audrey's expression, Fang Xingjian did not say anything more. It was because he knew that facts spoke louder than words.
"We'll know tonight whether or not I'll be able to fend off the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon. You just have to prepare the Star of Brilliance."
Audrey smiled and shook her head. "You want the Star of Brilliance that much? Then I'll give it to you. In any case, I have no use for it anymore. If you need it, just take it. "With that, she stood up and headed for her bedroom.
Fang Xingjian looked at Audrey in astonishment, as if he had not expected this woman to be so carefree.
Along the way, Fang Xingjian moved through the spatial gaps, following Audrey through many pavilions and buildings, and then arrived at Audrey's dressing room.
The dressing room was over 100 square meters in size, and it was filled with all sorts of clothes, jewelry, shoes, and many other things. It showed how wealthy the Pop Clan was.
Audrey walked up to the jewelry cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out a gemstone necklace from the corner. She said to the air, "Weird guy, are you still there?"
Fang Xingjian appeared from the spatial gaps in a flash and looked at the Star of Brilliance in Audrey's hand. One of the red gemstones was what he suspected to be an Origin Essence Stone.
Audrey handed the Star of Brilliance to Fang Xingjian and said, "Take it. This is what you wanted, right? Take it and leave. The Eight Directional Crimson Dragon isn't that easy to deal with. Don't lose your life in a moment of rashness. "
Fang Xingjian was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected that he would be able to get his hands on the Star of Brilliance so easily. He took a look at Audrey's beautiful face, took the Star of Brilliance, and started studying it.
Scanning it with waves of Heaven's Perception, Fang Xingjian tried to channel his deathly sword intents into it. At the start, there was nothing much. However, as more and more deathly sword intents were channeled in, Fang Xingjian's sharp senses allowed him to discover something very quickly. The deathly sword intents that were channeled into the Origin Essence Stone were not depleted at all.
They would even absorb an indescribable energy to replenish the depleted sword intents.
"Consciousness exists within. Not only can it be preserved for a very, very long time, but it can also be constantly nurtured."
"However, such minute differences require an extremely high level of cultivation and an extremely sensitive mind to notice."
Looking at the Origin Essence Stone in his hand, Fang Xingjian lifted his head to look at Audrey. His emotions were a little complicated. He did not expect her to give the stone to him so easily.
Even though the other party didn't know that this was a priceless Origin Stone, just the gemstone necklace itself was worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
Seeing the strange look in Fang Xingjian's eyes, Audrey playfully smiled and said, "What do you think? Could it be that you want something else? That won't do. If my father finds out, he will definitely scold me to death. "
"A drop of water should be returned with a spring of water." Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Don't worry. I'm a person who distinguishes between gratitude and grudges. If there's a grudge, there's an eye for an eye. Since you've given me the Star of Brilliance, I naturally won't let you do it for nothing. I'll help you take on the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon."
Audrey looked at Fang Xingjian, feeling both amused and infuriated. "Why don't you listen to what others say..."
She still wanted to say something, but the strange man before her had already disappeared completely.
She let out a bitter laugh but did not take it to heart. In her opinion, the other party was merely putting up a front and saying some pleasantries.
As the top beauty in the Northern Ice Region, she had seen too many men like this.
"I was wondering if you'd be able to help me escape. In the end, you left just like that."
Fang Xingjian retreated and once again appeared next to Lilia. Lilia asked, "How is it? Master? "
Fang Xingjian nodded. "I got it." Fang Xingjian opened up his hand, and the Star of Brilliance laid on top of it.
Lilia said excitedly, "It's that simple? Master, you're really amazing. Are we going back now? " As she said the latter half of her words, she seemed a little disappointed. It was as if she had not expected that the two of them would have to return not long after coming out.
Fang Xingjian shook his head. "There's no hurry. Let's stay here for tonight. I'll go back tomorrow to cultivate the tenth level of the mystical prints."
Therefore, for the next few hours, Fang Xingjian brought Lilia along to find an empty house to sit down and cultivate. It was only when the sky turned dark that Fang Xingjian pulled Lilia along and performed the Infiltrating Void sword technique.
Fang Xingjian immediately felt that it was very difficult to perform the Infiltrating Void sword technique while bringing along another person. He calculated in his heart that even with his cultivation, he would probably be unable to perform the Infiltrating Void sword technique while bringing along three or four people at most.
The two of them passed through many layers of spatial gaps, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at an uninhabited courtyard in the Pop Clan's territory. Then with a flash, they once again appeared in the physical world.
Right now, the Pop Clan's manor was brightly lit, and there was a hubbub of voices in the distance. There were endless sounds of wine glasses clinking against each other, and the laughter of men and women could be heard. It was clear that some kind of banquet was being held.
"Let's go and take a look."
Fang Xingjian's gaze flickered slightly, and he headed for the lawn where the banquet was being held.
The two of them walked slowly to a lawn and saw that there were many guests passing by. Most of them were dressed in formal attire. The men's clothes were well-ironed, while the women's jewelry was expensive. It was clear that they were all reputable characters in the Northern Ice Region.
Waiters walked on the lawn with cocktails and snacks in their hands.
Groups of men stood together in groups of three to five, occasionally bursting into laughter.
However, Fang Xingjian and Lilia were not wearing formal attire. They were wearing ordinary training clothes, appearing a little out of place in the banquet.
Lilia instinctively hated such gatherings. She was the daughter of Kirst's City Lord, but when she was in Kirst, she had never attended such banquets. It was because she felt that it was a waste of time and boring.
She could not help but ask Fang Xingjian, "Master, how long are we going to stay here for?"
Fang Xingjian walked to a corner with her, closed his eyes, and quietly cultivated his ether organs. Hearing this, he replied, "We're waiting for the people from the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon to come."
Just as Lilia was feeling a little impatient, a man's surprised voice rang out, "Lilia, why are you here?"
Lilia lifted her head and frowned. "Kite?"
The young man who walked over was dressed in a well-ironed suit. He had oily hair, and the treasured sword hanging at his waist was clearly of extraordinary value. He exuded an air of nobility.
It was Lilia's classmate from the Great Western City's Knight Academy, Kite, who had once courted her.
"Lilia, where on earth have you been during this period of time?" Kite looked at Lilia in pleasant surprise, then looked at Fang Xingjian warily. However, Fang Xingjian had concealed his aura and adjusted his appearance slightly, so Kite was unable to recognize him.
Looking at Kite's appearance, Lilia frowned and said, "Why have you become like this? You have the air of a woman. Didn't you cultivate your martial arts properly? "
Kite was stunned for a moment, and he appeared a little embarrassed. A man with a feminine appearance stood next to Kite, seeming to be his friend. Hearing this, he said in amusement, "Young lady, you look pretty, but you're quite fierce when you speak."
