Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 43

[43. Chapter 43 Danqing Sword (Please collect)]

Fang Xing shook his head: “I still have some questions about martial arts, I want to ask you a few questions…”

Thinking about the useful advice Meng Yi gave last time, Fang Xing would not be so proud as to look down on the ancients just because he came from the interstellar era.

After all, in terms of realm, the innate realm in this world is equivalent to the unpolished jade realm. Strictly speaking, Hua Feiyue is one major realm higher than him.

He immediately told about some of the difficulties he encountered in practicing the ‘Extreme Love Sword’.

The main thing is that it is difficult to get started with meditation and simulation of artistic conception!

After all, the Extreme Love Sword is different from the Ghostly Sword. It needs to stir up the deepest emotions in one’s heart, the stronger the better.

This is completely contrary to the Tranquilizing Pill that can clear the mind, so the experience of practicing the Ghost Sword is useless here and another method needs to be found.

“If I heard correctly, the reason why you can’t master your martial arts is because you can’t arouse the strongest emotions in your heart?”

Perhaps because of the benefits she received, Hua Feiyue’s way of addressing people became much more formal.

“That’s right.”

Fang Xing thought that he had a solid foundation in meditation and hypnosis for the Ghost Sword. As long as he passed this level, he should be able to get started with the ‘Extreme Love Sword’.

Once you get started and the health bar appears on the attribute panel, the rest is just a matter of hard work.

“This is a simple matter. Daoist friend, you know that among us warriors, there are some unconventional spiritual martial arts…” Hua Feiyue smiled and said, “To be honest, I have also practiced a spiritual martial art called ‘Seven Emotions Sutra’, which can arouse the emotions of other warriors…”

“Spiritual martial arts? That’s a good idea.” Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.

“In addition, if this type of spiritual martial arts still cannot be stimulated, fellow Taoist can also seek help from those immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators have many means in this regard, such as illusions and talismans that attack the mind…” Hua Feiyue continued to suggest.

“But it’s a bit dangerous to stimulate myself like this…” Fang Xing frowned slightly, thinking that it would be better not to provoke the immortal cultivators for now.

As for Hua Feiyue’s “Seven Emotions Sutra”, he could give it a try. Anyway, he had the “Calming Pill” as a backup, so even if his spirit was damaged, he could make up for it.

“How about…you try it first?”

Fang Xing put down the monster meat and became interested.

“Okay, look into my eyes…” Hua Feiyue’s eyes were a little blurry.

When Fang Xing looked over, he actually felt that the other person’s pupils were covered with a layer of glass color.

“This is the first of the seven emotions – joy!”

Along with Hua Feiyue’s voice, Fang Xing suddenly felt a sense of “great joy” coming.

“It’s a bit interesting, but it’s not enough to fully arouse my inner emotions…”

He murmured.

“It seems that fellow Daoist has a very firm mind and will. We must use other methods to achieve results…”

Hua Feiyue bit her lip and said, “This is the second move – anger!”

The next moment, Fang Xing’s eyes turned red and he felt as if his body was burning with fire.

…

A few hours later.

Fang Xing carried the monster meat and walked out of Hua Feiyue’s shed with somewhat unsteady steps.

“Hiss… This woman is really good at talking. I have decided to hire her as the female manager from now on…

“But you don’t have to buy a shop first, you can just be a female stall owner…”

After practicing the ‘Seven Emotions Sutra’ today, Fang Xing couldn’t say that he had mastered the Extreme Emotion Sword, but he had roughly figured out some of the tricks.

As long as he perseveres, he will surely reach that mysterious state and successfully enter the ‘Extreme Love Sword’!
“Ten kilograms of monster meat are exchanged for these, it’s not a loss…”

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

…

Two days later.

Zheng family auction venue.

The venue was very large, and there were various spiritual patterns on the walls, swimming like fish.

It was the day when the Zheng family auction was about to start!
The six gates of the auction hall were wide open, like a giant beast, swallowing up people from all directions.

Fang Xing was wearing a gray mask and a bamboo hat. Looking at the surging crowd, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

He walked through the gate and immediately saw a greeter.

“Does this guest want a private room? It only costs ten spirit stones. If you bid on the item you like, you can go to the private room to trade immediately. There are also several roads and secret doors, so you can leave the auction venue at any time…”

The welcoming words were spoken very quickly, and it was obvious that the same words had been said many times.

“No need!”

Fang Xing waved his hands. He had originally thought of this, but when he thought about it, he was not even a congenital, so booking a private room would be very eye-catching!
Not to mention other immortal cultivators, the two foundation-building cultivators in the market must be able to project their spiritual consciousness and see many things.

“Of course, I am just an ordinary post-natal warrior. Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator sees me, they won’t care. They might even treat me like an ant… provided they don’t jump too much.”

Fang Xing touched the laser gun in his arms.

This laser gun does not have the slightest spiritual fluctuation. Perhaps in the divine consciousness, it should be a more sophisticated secular mechanical creation?

“To be honest, with the laser gun’s characteristic of no mana fluctuation, I could have successfully ambushed a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, but I don’t want to do that… It’s more important to practice peacefully.”

He walked into the hall and found it quite spacious, with many mahogany tables on which there were tea and snacks.

This dessert is made with magical rice and other ingredients, with an exquisite shape and a fragrant tea aroma.

“The Zheng family is really attentive…”

Fang Xing randomly found an empty seat, sat down quietly, closed his eyes, and waited for the auction to begin.

Half an hour later, the entire hall was almost full of people, most of whom were cultivators, but there were also many innate and acquired warriors.

In the box, fist-sized pearls shone brightly one after another.

With the sound of three gongs, all eyes were focused on the platform.

Fang Xing looked around and saw a tall and thin old man wearing a khaki robe. His eyes were deep and seemed to have golden light. He was bowing to all directions:

“I am Zheng Yuanao, and I welcome everyone to participate in this auction. I hope everyone can find the items they like.”

Zheng Yuanao has great magical powers and his voice can be heard throughout the venue.

“It’s him, Zheng Yuanao, the ‘Golden Eyed Eagle’ of the Zheng family… a cultivator who has perfected his Qi training! No wonder he seemed to be talking to me in my ear, his magical powers are indeed profound!”

“Not only that, this person is in charge of the Zheng family’s auction and pawnshop. It is said that he has a keen eye and never misses a single deal. He has picked up many bargains…”

Listening to the discussion between the two monks next to him, Fang Xing couldn’t help but become interested.

“It seems that this person’s eyes are golden. Is he practicing a special eye technique?”

“If you run an auction or pawn shop and don’t have good business ideas, you can easily lose a lot of money…”

“The Zheng family’s ancestor’s foundation-building cultivation is enough to keep the place in check. With this person added in, no wonder he makes a fortune every day…”

He couldn’t help but feel more excited about this auction.

At this time, Zheng Yuanao also asked a maid with bright eyes and white teeth to bring the first lot of this auction to the stage:
“Top-grade magic weapon – Iron Feather Sword! It is a rare set of magic weapons. It takes the most precious life feathers of seven ‘Iron Feather Eagles’ and mixes them with iron essence and gold essence to make a set of seven flying swords. They are extremely sharp and indestructible. They can form a sword formation…”

Fang Xing looked over and saw seven palm-sized black flying swords floating in the air under the opponent’s magic power, and the sword energy broke through the air.

But he was not a cultivator anyway, and had no interest in this kind of magical weapon.

On the contrary, those great masters who are in the late stage of Qi training or even in the perfect stage of Qi training are very interested in sets of flying swords.

After all, a set of seven flying swords, if formed into a sword formation, would be quite powerful.

“Iron Feather Sword, starting price is 2,100 Spirit Stones, each bid increase must not be less than 10 Spirit Stones…”

Just as Zheng Yuanao finished speaking, an impatient voice rang out: “Two thousand two hundred spirit stones!”

“Two thousand three hundred spirit stones!”

The price of spirit stones kept going up, and finally, at the price of 3,100 spirit stones, it was acquired by a monk in a box.

After the first lot was sold out, Zheng Yuanao’s face immediately turned redder. He clapped his hands and ordered the maid to bring the second lot: “A first-level medium-grade formation – ‘Small Wind and Fire Formation’, including 7749 formation flags, formation plates, tokens, etc., with a range of three to five acres, which can release ‘Spirit Fire Technique’ and ‘Smoke Technique’, which has the effect of trapping enemies and concealing… The starting price is 1,500 spirit stones!”

…

Fang Xing couldn’t use this set of formations either, after all, he was not a cultivator.

Even immortal cultivators do not have so many spirit stones, and could only watch helplessly as the formation was taken away by the leader of a Qi training gang at the price of more than 2,000 spirit stones.

Next, there are skills, robes, elixirs, spirit pets, etc. … all of them are top-notch.

In particular, there were robes made mainly of various monster leathers, as well as items such as spirit beast eggs, which were significantly more in number and relatively cheap, attracting the monks to buy them one after another.

Some innate warriors would occasionally bid and buy things they could use.

“Blood-refined magical weapon – ‘Danqing Sword’!”

After dozens of auction items were passed, a long sword appeared in Zheng Yuanao’s hand.

The sword was more than three feet long and about an inch wide. It was glowing green and chilling all over, with blood-red lines running down the blade.

Just by looking at it, one can feel a sharp aura coming towards him.

“Looking at the amount of ingredients used, it’s indeed a blood-refined magical weapon… a wasteful thing for warriors to use!”

A cultivator next to Fang Xing complained.

Generally speaking, the magical weapons of cultivators are mostly very small, especially flying swords, which are mostly the size of a palm or even about one foot long.

This not only uses less material, but in Fang Xing’s opinion, it can also minimize air resistance and make it easier to control in the air.

Of course, when there is a special need, the magic weapon can naturally activate functions such as size and shape, which Fang Xing thinks is very unscientific.

But when talking to immortal cultivators, it seems that there is no need to talk about science.

But to be honest, the material of this “Danqing Sword” is enough to make four or five low-grade magical flying swords, which is indeed a bit of a waste.

But, that’s how warriors are.

Even if a congenital warrior possesses congenital true qi, he can only use some low-level talismans, inject a certain amount of energy into the formation flags, etc.

It is basically impossible to drive low-grade magical tools.

Therefore, there are weapon refiners who have designed a kind of “blood-refined magic weapon” specifically for innate warriors!
This kind of “blood-refined magic weapon” is at most as powerful as a low-grade magic weapon, but it can be injected with innate true qi or even blood essence to activate it, which is very convenient for warriors.

Even Fang Xing felt a little jealous.

“It’s so sharp, it must feel good to chop people with it… It can also be refined, if it’s not expensive…”
