After leaving Gong Suxin's room, Jiang Yuan sat down sheepishly under the scrutinizing gazes of the two women.
Because the replacement of celestial talent is an extremely private matter, he had to personally help Gong Suxin with the replacement, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Liu Zhaodi and the other person. Who knows what they did in the room.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Yuan felt a cold sweat break out on his back from being stared at.
"It took an hour and seven minutes. Didn't it usually only take you three minutes to change your talent?" An Xiaoyu muttered, but her muttering revealed her suspicions.
"I just asked Sister Suxin about her, so it took me a little longer," Jiang Yuan explained.
"It's been so long, who knows what you've been doing?" An Xiaoyu was very wary of Gong Suxin, who had an aura of a mature woman. He would be suspicious even if she stayed for three minutes, let alone more than an hour.
"No, if I stay for three minutes, you'll say I'm short-time," Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
Liu Zhaodi chuckled upon hearing this and said, "It's alright, we won't laugh at a man who can complete the task of human reproduction in a very short time."
Jiang Yuan fell silent instantly. This girl seemed humorous, but if he took her humor as a joke, then he would truly be a joke himself.
"Zhao Di, Sister Su Xin really treats me like her own brother, so don't overthink it. Otherwise, it's disrespectful to both me and Sister Su Xin," Jiang Yuan said earnestly, putting his arm around Liu Zhao Di's shoulder.
"Okay, I was just joking with you. I didn't really blame you." Liu Zhaodi nodded to indicate that she wouldn't say anything more.
"Husband, did you find out where Sister Yanlan is?" An Xiaoyu asked. She knew before she came that the purpose of this trip was to find the Companion God and ask for the Heaven-Mending Stone Sword in her possession, so she blurted out Ning Yanlan's name.
Liu Zhaodi glared at An Xiaoyu, who then realized her slip of the tongue and quickly corrected herself, "No, her whereabouts should be confirmed by now, right?"
Jiang Yuan didn't pursue the matter further, explaining, "That's right. After merging with the Heavenly Knowledge Body, Sister Su Xin's divination skills surpassed Zhong Litong's astrology skills, and she has now located the whereabouts of the Companion God."
Where?
The two women asked in unison.
“Since our parting after the last cycle of reincarnation, she has withdrawn all her forces from China. This is why China struggled so much when facing the invasion of alien races recently. She guessed that I was using the Battle Soul to control the fortune of the Imperial Star, so she has been collecting fortune in the four overseas continents.”
Jiang Yuan paused after speaking, and said thoughtfully, "For some reason, she is currently located on Penglai Island in Dongsheng Shenzhou."
"Penglai Island?"
An Xiaoyu frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this the place where we entered the Tomb of the War Lord last time? How come she's there!"
"I suspect she already guessed that I was looking for her, so she was waiting for me there." Jiang Yuan expressed his concerns. Although his current power was not much less than that of a companion god, the methods possessed by such a god who had lived for countless years were unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Maybe we should just forget about it. Anyway, this is a very risky business. We..." Liu Zhaodi stopped halfway through her sentence. She definitely wanted the divine position, but that had to be based on ensuring Jiang Yuan's safety.
"Don't worry, get some rest these next couple of days, and check if the shipwreck report from Haicheng is accurate." Jiang Yuan still needed more definitive information from Gong Suxin. The Heavenly Knowledge Body hadn't fully fused yet, so he could wait.
"By the way, the black market is open again today, and a lot of the things they sell are targeted at us. It must be a trap set for us!" Liu Zhaodi opened her smart brain and logged into her black market key to enter the black market network.
"Tsk tsk, it's rare for the black market to be willing to unveil its mysterious veil in front of the public. It seems they've got us cornered this time!"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the treasures displayed on the black market's website. Many of them were things he needed, and he wondered where the black market had obtained this information.
"Wait a minute, why didn't the black market choose a location in an underground shopping mall or private club this time?" An Xiaoyu also found it strange, because the location of the black market this time was made public, and it was set up in Yu Garden.
"The black market starts at midnight tonight, which is not the usual practice of the black market." Liu Zhaodi shook her head, indicating that there was something fishy going on.
"They must have gone to great lengths to get me to participate."
Jiang Yuan's finger landed on several treasures on the webpage, and he said calmly, "Since the black market is so generous, then even if it's a trap, I, Jiang Yuan, have to go."
“No, the black market operates on extremes. They don’t fear our power and might resort to underhanded tactics.” Liu Zhaodi stopped Jiang Yuan from taking the risk, as it was clearly unnecessary.
"What if we had it!"
Jiang Yuan's finger landed on an item being auctioned. The item was just an old parchment book, and there was nothing particularly special about it.
"This is?"
As Jiang Yuan's eyes continued to scan the ancient texts, a golden sheet of paper appeared in his pupils. He said, "The Nine Arts of Humanity - The Secret of Life!"
"How is that possible? I've never heard of the black market possessing the Nine Arts of Humanity! Moreover, the Nine Arts of Humanity are basically controlled by powerful families, so how could they appear here?" Liu Zhaodi had previously conducted some research on the Nine Arts of Humanity, so she naturally knew much more.
"Go and see for yourself!"
On a dark and windy night, people in Yu Garden were filled with unease.
This black market was exceptionally generous, not only by not restricting outsiders from participating, but also by choosing the Yu Garden, a place with a very high flow of people. The auction was grand, but it concealed a strong sense of danger.
Jiang Yuan came to Haicheng, and at this time only the black market dared to go against him, since holding an auction at this time would definitely attract countless people who coveted the divine position.
