Xiahou Aotian, standing at the door of the store, felt a little embarrassed.

Now that he was discovered, he was too lazy to worry about it anymore. He rubbed his face hard according to the character that flashed through his mind at this moment and completed the disguise.

He stepped into the store, his eyes swept across the rows of shelves and the low-grade materials scattered on the ground, and immediately confirmed Lian Sanyue's identity.

He is indeed a weapon refiner, most likely from the Zhao family.

Although he had inquired about the background of the proprietress of Wanbao House from Brother Hongji before coming, it was only after seeing her with his own eyes that he confirmed that she was an equipment refiner.

——Every equipment refiner’s studio is as messy as a processing workshop in a small machinery factory or a street hardware store.

Of course, Xiahou Aotian was not bothered by the mess. Instead, he felt like he was back home.

I moved my eyes away from the shelves and looked to the left. There was a cash register against the wall. Behind the cash register was a beautiful woman wearing a black leather jacket and a blue bra.

With a thin lady's cigarette between her fingers, her eyebrows and eyes are lazy, and her temperament is charming, just like the female boss of a gang in the movie.

"Are you Lian Sanyue?" Xiahou Aotian walked to the cashier counter.

Lian Sanyue looked at him in astonishment, forgetting to smoke for a moment, and said in amazement: "Kakarot?"

She burst into laughter: "This is the first time I've seen someone shape their face into a 2D protagonist, hahahaha..."

Have you laughed enough? The protagonist does not distinguish between dimensions... Xiahou Aotian protested in his heart, took a deep breath, and said:

"I heard that you have a good reputation and can do any business. I have a deal, I wonder if you are interested."

Lian Sanyue put away his smile, resumed his lazy posture, took a sip of his cigarette, exhaled white smoke from his flaming red lips, and said:

"Tell me about it."

Xiahou Aotian immediately grabbed a set of armor, a bronze tripod, and a string of copper coins from the inventory.

Lian Sanyue's eyes suddenly widened. "Things from the Qin Dynasty?"

The cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty are mainly bronzes and ceramics, which are very different from the antiques, calligraphy and paintings known to later generations.

She didn't look at the copper coins, but rubbed the bronze tripod and armor carefully, and evaluated:

"It's well preserved. This kind of artifact is rare even in the Overlord-level copies, and it has to be a copy related to the high officials of the Qin Dynasty. But I won't accept it."

Lian Sanyue smiled and said:

"Cultural relics are meaningless to me, and they are expensive. The customers who come to my Wanbao House are only interested in spiritual materials and props. Your target group should be the wealthy who like to collect and invest in antiques."

Xiahou Aotian seemed to have expected this. Kakarot's face was defiant and indifferent. "I hope to auction off the cultural relics through you and give you 10% commission."

Lian Sanyue nodded and said, "Okay, come and get the money in ten days."

Xiahou Aotian heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I hope you can keep today's transaction a secret. How much is the hush money?"

Lian Sanyue thought for a moment and said, "Give me two hundred thousand."

"make a deal!"

Xiahou Aotian took off his backpack, took out four stacks of bills and placed them on the cashier counter.

He knew that black market transactions were all conducted in cash.

If you don't have enough cash, you can use props as collateral and cash out from the black market owner, and then pay the money back within the specified period.

After paying the cash, Xiahou Aotian turned and left.

"Wait!" Lian Sanyue suddenly stopped and smiled, "Since we are here, why don't you take a look at the black market of Wanbao House?"

No money, no desire to see... Xiahou Aotian was about to refuse, but Lian Sanyue's words attracted his interest.

"Although there aren't many good things on the black market, you can still find bargains sometimes."

Xiahou Aotian's DNA was moved when he heard this, thinking, isn't this a scene exclusively for the protagonist?

I immediately changed my mind and said, "Okay!"

"You need a card to enter the black market, one card costs 100,000." Lian Sanyue spread out his palm, and there was a long black lacquered wooden card with the words "Making a Fortune" written on the front.

One hundred thousand? Why don't you go and rob it! Xiahou Aotian

I secretly complain in my heart.

After paying for the cards, he entered the Wanbaowu black market and saw the bustling scene.

"It's quite large..."

Xiahou Aotian went to the black market with great ambition. As a scholar with rich knowledge and with the old man of the ring by his side, he was confident that he could make money in the black market.

Half an hour later, Xiahou Aotian stood in the black market with a confused look on his face.

Are all these fakes?

It’s not that there are no props and materials, but they are all clearly priced. There is no such thing as props or materials being mistakenly thought to be worthless waste.

In short, the props and materials here are very expensive, and the waste is also very expensive, so there is no possibility of finding a bargain.

"Obviously there's something wrong with this place, not me. My opportunity isn't here." Xiahou Aotian was upset that the 100,000 yuan had gone down the drain and planned to leave.

At this time, Lian Sanyue's voice came from the side:

"Didn't buy the item you wanted? Are you interested in experiencing the feeling of refining equipment?"

Xiahou Aotian, a Taoist priest, heard this and his DNA moved again. He asked, "What do you mean?"

Lian Sanyue swayed her waist and twisted her body in a charming way: "Follow me."

With curiosity and doubt, Xiahou Aotian followed her out of the black market, across the duel arena, and arrived outside a room.

Lian Sanyue opened the door, waved away the two guards inside, pointed at the tripod, and said with a smile:

"It is the greatest weapon refiner in the world. You can touch it and check its properties."

Xiahou Aotian stepped forward, curiously stretched out his hand, and pressed it against the furnace. After a few seconds, he looked shocked:

"Actually, it's a rule-based item?"

In addition, he felt that this stove looked familiar. After a brief recollection, he remembered that there was a similar stove on the scroll of Empress Nuwa enshrined in the treasure house of the underground palace.

At this moment, he sensed a strong mental fluctuation coming from the ring.

......

Songhai International Airport.

The silvery-white Gulf Stream cut through the blue sky, slowly descended, glided along the runway for a long time, and then stopped.

Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, Zhang Yuanqing walked out of the cabin with the Palace Master of Stop Killing. They got on the shuttle bus led by the airport reception staff who had been waiting for a long time.

When they arrived at the airport parking garage, the Palace Master Zhisha said goodbye with a smile and left.

Zhang Yuanqing got on the luxury car arranged by Fu Qingyang and returned to Fujia Bay.

He took out his cell phone and turned off the airplane mode. Immediately, the phone started to ring non-stop, with dozens of unread messages and a dozen missed calls.

Three of them belong to Xie Lingxi and the Queen, and the rest all belong to Guan Ya.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the chat software and checked the message.

Guan Ya sent him more than 20 messages, half of which were text, expressing her deep regret and confusion. While trying to win him back, she also said that she might have been affected by something yesterday and that breaking up was not her original intention.

I apologize for my irrational behavior yesterday and hope to talk to him.

Seeing that he didn't respond and his phone was turned off when she called him, she probably panicked and started sending voice messages. The last few messages were filled with tears in her voice.

Xie Lingxi sent him two messages. One was that her cousin Xie Lingzhou died in Qinfeng College, and her family informed her to go back to attend the funeral, so she would have to leave Songhai for a few days.

The other one was timidly asking: Have you really broken up with Sister Guan Ya?

Because there was no breakup, the little girl woke up this morning and felt that Brother Yuanshi was her dream lover again, and forgot her coldness yesterday.

The Queen's message was that Guan Ya went to the villa next door in the morning and cried when she came back. She was emotionally unstable. She hoped that he could forgive Guan Ya and reconcile with her.

It can be seen that although the queen has always been thinking about stealing her best friend's boyfriend, she still has feelings for Guan Ya.

Next came Sun Miaomiao’s messages. The first one was sent at nine in the morning, in which she sincerely apologized for her harsh words yesterday.

The second one was at 11:00 am. After about three hours of suffering, she did not receive Yuanshi Tianzun's forgiveness.

Another post, the content is:

"Hmph, you mean bastard!"

The last message was from Yin Ji. She explained that she was a little impatient yesterday because she was helping her master capture the head of Chunyang Sect. If there was time, she hoped to have a phone call.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately dialed Yin Ji's number. After ringing for more than ten seconds, the call was finally connected.

"Yuanshi Tianzun." Yin Ji's gentle voice came from the phone.

"Call me Yuanshi." Zhang Yuanqing said in a joking tone.

There was silence for a second, and no one responded. He went straight to the point and said:

"The secrets of Taiyin and the stars are the secrets of Taiyi Sect. Before disciples learn them, they sign a contract that they will never pass them on to others. They have also received the blessing of Taiyin, so even asking spirits for help will not reveal their secrets."

Ordinary Night Wanderers certainly can’t ask spirits, but I have the Taiyin fragment, but I can’t hunt down the saints of Taiyi Sect for the secret method... Zhang Yuanqing sighed and said:

"I see."

As if she could sense the disappointment in his tone, Yin Ji lowered her voice:

"But that's not what I want to talk about..."

After a pause, she said, "Do you know why the sect leader created the secret method of cultivating the moon and the stars?"

To become stronger? Zhang Yuanqing was the first to come up with this answer.

"I heard from my master that the purpose of majoring in the moon and the stars is to make it easier to integrate the supreme power when one reaches the demigod realm in the future. Of course, for ordinary night-wandering gods, majoring in the moon and the stars only makes oneself stronger." Yin Ji said.

"Fusion of supreme power?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, and then, almost immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

The supreme power mentioned by Elder Hongying should refer to the three original powers of the sun, moon and stars.

Therefore, in order to control the three fundamental powers, one must choose one power to focus on before reaching the level of a demigod. Is this the meaning of the "Main Secret Method"?

Yin Ji continued:

"If we do not choose to major in the secret method, when we are promoted to the master, the three forces of the sun, moon and stars are balanced. And when you choose to major in one of the forces, then this force will overwhelm the other two."

"So?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

Yin Ji's gentle voice was even lower, like the soft whispers between lovers:

"So the key is not to focus on the secret method, the key is to make the three forces unbalanced. As long as you can do this, you can practice other secret methods, such as the Pure Yang Body Cleansing Record."

"However, this kind of secret technique is hard to come by, and ordinary night wandering gods simply cannot obtain it, so our Taiyi secret technique is so precious."

The Pure Yang Cleansing Record is the secret method? This answer really surprised Zhang Yuanqing. If this is the case, then the power of the sun in the Demon Refining Pot will be useful.

He can completely rely on those powers to push the Pure Yang Body Cleansing Record to the realm of minor perfection.

No, the sun power in the demon-refining pot is too strong. If I use it to practice, the result will most likely be that I will turn from a carbon-based life form into a pile of charcoal. He thought to himself.

"But I don't recommend you major in sun science," Yin Ji said.

"Is it because the progress is too slow?" Zhang Yuanqing thought of the knowledge he learned at Qin Feng Academy.

"Slowness is one thing. I've heard from Master before that the supreme power symbolizing the sun seems to have some problems." Yin Ji said slowly, "I just heard about it, I don't know the specific situation."

Is there something wrong with the sun? In that case, majoring in the sun should be considered carefully. Zhang Yuanqing frowned.

Yin Ji didn't say anything either.

The two listened to each other's breathing and were silent for half a minute. Zhang Yuanqing broke free from his contemplation and asked casually:

"How is the case of Master Chunyang going?"

Yin Ji sighed:

"Master set up a trap to lure him in a few days ago, but failed. He has a secret shelter and is not bound by moral values. Catching him will take time.

"And we found that his strength is getting stronger and stronger. He should have hunted down a lot of illusionists recently."

Zhang Yuanqing could hear her distress and helplessness, "Hunted many illusionists? Why don't you try

Nihilism. "

Yin Ji smiled bitterly:

"If it's the Military Bishop and the Psychic Society, we do have channels to contact them. The Nihilism Sect is elusive, and even the Taiyi Sect can't find their leaders."

Among the three major evil camps, the Nihilism Sect is the most bizarre.

Moreover, good and evil cannot coexist. Even with the threat of Master Chunyang, the two sides lack a solid middleman to reach cooperation.

The head of the Chunyang Sect is very cunning. She has the protection of Taiyin and is not bound by moral values. She has done too many tricks. However, if they can only cooperate with the Nihilism Sect, I can help... Zhang Yuanqing said:

"I know an illusionist who might be able to help me."

Yin Ji's thoughts came to her mind, and she pondered:

"I will report to Master first and see what she thinks."

Zhang Yuanqing hummed: "I also need to confirm whether the other party is willing to cooperate."

After ending the call, he did not contact Xiaoyuan because they were about to arrive at Fujia Bay.

After reporting the discovery of Takama-ga-hara to Fu Qingyang, I will deal with other matters.

Zhang Yuanqing clicked on Sun Miaomiao's profile picture and sent a message:

"I turned off my phone this morning because I was on a mission. Miaomiao, even though you spoke rudely to me, you are still my little baby."

Sun Miaomiao replied immediately:

"Ah~ You're so greasy."

Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, this is the correct reaction. She said it was greasy, but she must have a smile on her face now.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: I have something to ask of you. 】

【Sun Miaomiao: No need to talk about borrowing money. 】

......Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched and he sent a message:

[Yuanshi Tianzun: I don't want to lend you money. I want to ask you to help me compile a list of all the night wandering gods in Taiyi Sect from 1990 to 2000, including those who died in the line of duty. One more thing to add, from saints to masters.]

He wanted to check out the night wanderer who was one of the Shadow Twins.

【Sun Miaomiao: What are you looking for this for?】

[Yuanshi Tianzun: I can’t tell you now. There will be similar things in the future. Please help me. I will tell you when I have some clues.]

[Sun Miaomiao: Okay, I'll try. If it involves the elders, I definitely don't have enough authority, so I can only cheat my grandfather's account.]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: After the matter is completed, I will treat you to a meal. ]

Soon, the driver slowed down and drove into Fujia Bay.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't wait for him to stop the car, and snapped his fingers handsomely: "Star Escape!"

Under the driver's astonished gaze, he disappeared into the carriage.

The next second, he appeared outside the study and knocked on the tall brown wooden door.
