Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Star Empowerment Method_1

Lu Yang felt that although he might not be considered suave or handsome, he was surely not so ambiguous as to lead people to mistake his gender.

He wanted to say that he was a man, but was afraid to do so, thinking of the other party’s admiration for the senior brother.

He wanted to say that he was a woman, but the thought of having to pay such a hefty price to buy the Star Chart made him hesitate.

Anyway, buying it meant guessing Eldest Senior Sister’s Golden Core, all in good fun.

It would be better to leave.

After saying this, he wanted to slap himself twice. What nonsense was he spouting!

His two followers were extremely embarrassed. This was his persistent problem. He always ended up saying the wrong things when he got nervous.

The bad news was that he often got nervous.

It was said that the palace master suggested he consider practicing Silent Zen.

“No, what I meant to say was, dear senior brother, the Star Chart is something my admired senior brother uses for cultivation. May I have it from you?”

He thought about it and decided to start by introducing himself to organize his thoughts.

“I am Gu Qisheng, a disciple from Changhong Palace, at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment. I am here to participate in the Grand Contest. Judging by your age, I assume you are also here for the Grand Contest.”

Gu Qisheng had not yet turned eighteen, yet he was already at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment. His pace of cultivation was so rapid that it would rank in the top 5 in the history of Changhong Palace.

Although one could change their appearance after reaching an advanced realm of cultivation, Gu Qisheng judged that if the person was a Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator, they wouldn’t be shopping here. Those old cultivators who had lived long lives and had experienced a lot would have their own purchase channels.

Lu Yang had heard of Changhong Palace, a top-tier sect in Ji State, but he didn’t know much more than that.

“Indeed, I am here to participate in the Grand Contest. Perhaps we will meet on the stage. As for this Star Chart, feel free to do as you desire, junior brother.” Lu Yang took another step back.

Seeing Lu Yang continue to retreat, Gu Qisheng hurriedly corrected his mistake, saying, “I misspoke earlier and mixed up the titles. Actually, it is one of my senior sisters who needs the Star Chart for her cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, both Lu Yang and Mend Jingzhou heaved a sigh of relief. The shock had even caused Meng Jingzhou to almost concoct a singleness curse on the spot.

Lu Yang said with a smile,”I am interested in the Star Chart just out of curiosity. It is not as important as Brother Gu’s marital affairs.”

Overjoyed, Gu Qisheng pulled out 1,500 Spirit Stones and bought the Star Chart.

The cost of 1,500 was not a small sum for him, but to make his true transmission senior sister pleased, it was worth it!

He enthusiastically opened the Star Chart, only to find that it was covered in blood stains, making it impossible to see anything.

“What is going on!” Gu Qisheng was furious. Had he bought a piece of blood-soaked paper in his painstaking effort to procure the Star Chart?

The vendor calmly explained, “Didn’t I mention it earlier? I drew the Star Chart with my heart and soul. It’s normal to spit out a few instances of blood during the process.”

Lu Yang,”…”

Why were there scams everywhere in this market?

Meng Jingzhou sent a message to Lu Yang, “Most of the items in the market are fakes. One of the challenges in our Meng Family’s coming of age ceremony is to buy a genuine item in the market.”

“I see, but wait, don’t people come of age at sixteen? I don’t remember you going back to the Meng Family for the coming of age ceremony?”

The age limit for joining the Seek Dao Sect is sixteen, and Lu Yang had never seen Meng Jingzhou return to the Meng Family.

Meng Jingzhou confidently responded, “I ran away from home. Who has a coming of age ceremony after running away from home!”

Gu Qisheng was still arguing with the vendor,”In that case, why wouldn’t you redraw a Star Chart.”

“This shows that you don’t understand, dear customer. There are huge secrets hidden in the stars. Please inquire around you for the past few hundred years, who has successfully drawn a Star Chart? Even if they finish the drawing, it eventually gets destroyed due to various reasons.”

“Moreover, the drawer can’t remember the layout of the stars. I have a small part of this Star Chart that hasn’t been stained by blood, which is already extremely rare. Selling it to you for 1,500 Spirit Stones is a bargain.”

Gu Qisheng naturally didn’t believe the vendor’s words, but then he thought about the true transmission senior sister who didn’t have a Star Chart given her status, which was unusual.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had never heard of such a thing. Nobody observes the stars for leisure, let alone remembering their positions. Lu Yang thought of the Eldest Senior Sister’s Golden Core and felt that what the vendor said had some credibility. So he went to the Spiritual Space to wake up Fairy Eternity.

“Ah? You are calling me?” Fairy Eternity woke up sleepily, yawning.

Lu Yang repeated what the vendor had said, sparking Fairy Eternity’s interest.

She temporarily borrowed Lu Yang’s body, looked into the sky and saw the stars, which were normally obscured by sunlight, during the daytime.

She returned Lu Yang’s body.

“So, was it my Eldest Senior Sister who set a barrier that prevents the world from observing which stars are the Eldest Senior Sister’s Golden Cores?”

“Whether it was set by Miss Yun, I don’t know, but indeed there’s a cognitive barrier preventing people from remembering the position of the stars, except when you go to the sky to observe.”

Lu Yang pondered and almost concluded that the barrier was indeed set by the Eldest Senior Sister, just not sure what the purpose was.

Was it because she feared that the enemy would discover the location of her Golden Core?

Or did the Eldest Senior Sister want to prevent people from practicing the Star Art?

As stars have been refined into the mainland beneath their feet, the power of the Star Art is not as strong as in ancient times, as the power of the Star Art comes from the stars in the sky.

However, there are still some who insist on the idea that ancient things are superior and want to practice the Star Art.

“You are here in Qingzhou for the Grand Contest? Come, come, let me, an immortal, show you how keen my judgment is!”

Lu Yang regretted waking up Fairy Eternity. Feeling energetic upon waking up, she was bouncing around and not being calm at all.

Lu Yang passed a stall, and the stall owner displayed various kinds of books in front of him. All of them were history-oriented, recording various historical secrets.

“Lu Yang, look at that book, it’s called ‘Ancient Secrets.’ Buy it so I can find out what it’s all about!” Fairy Eternity exclaimed excitedly.

“Boss, how much is this book in Spirit Stones?”

“Three thousand Spirit Stones.”

Lu Yang frowned, thinking that it was too expensive. The boss then said,” Don’t find it too expensive. you should know how many unknown fortunes lie hidden in ‘Ancient Secrets.’ If you are lucky enough to discover a fortune that others haven’t found, you could skyrocket your status and be free to roam the world!”

“This is the latest version of my ‘Ancient Secrets,’ recording the latest research on ancient times by academic circles!”

“Here are three thousand Spirit Stones.”

Lu Yang paid and was given the book. Three thousand Spirit Stones was not much for him. Not to mention the patent fee that disappeared mysteriously, just the portion shared by Nine Nether alone was more than enough for him. Three thousand Spirit Stones were just a drop in the ocean.

Meng Jingzhou was also curious about ancient secrets and came over to watch.

The first article in the book read: The ancient immortal Yingtian loved beauties, particularly married women, and had countless offspring with them.

Lu Yang was puzzled and asked in the Spiritual Space, “Is Yingtian really like this?”

Fairy Eternity looked innocent. “Who is spreading the rumors? Yingtian is not that kind of person.”
