Chapter 10 Star Crystal
After winning the battle with Yuan Lian, Tang Jie returned to the cave.
The cave is on the mountain in the east district city. Tang Jie finally understood why there is such a mountain in the city. It was prepared for cultivators from the beginning.
This mountain is called Tianfu Mountain. There is a spiritual spring inside, which is full of spiritual energy. The entire mountain is blocked by a large formation surrounding the mountain to prevent spiritual energy from leaking out, and the caves are divided according to different locations. Anyone who wants to get a good place to practice must pay a high amount of money.
It can be said that the cultivators fight life and death in the arena, just for the sake of taking a further step on the path of cultivating immortality.
After playing more than 20 games in the Free City, Tang Jie already had enough money to rent a cave.
As soon as he returned to the cave, Tang Jie immediately went into seclusion.
Tang Jie benefited greatly from the battle with Yuan Lian. The fierce attack methods of the demonic strongman made Tang Jie see his own shortcomings, and in the process of fighting Yuan Lian, Tang Jie gained a deeper understanding of the way of killing. He must allow himself to digest these understandings as quickly as possible in order to improve himself.
This retreat lasted another half month.
Tang Jie didn't stop retreating until he had completely digested the accumulation of battles during this period. Only then did he remember that there was one thing he had not done, which was to collect the trophies obtained from Yuan Lian.
Everything belonging to the deceased in the arena belongs to the victor, but generally speaking, no one will bring anything more to Tang Jie except the magic weapons they use. In addition, he was not able to kill his opponent every time, so after more than twenty battles, Tang Jie failed to make any dead money. Occasionally he got one or two magic weapons, but they were all low-level. Tang Jie was too lazy to sell them. It was smashed directly into gold sand.
But Yuan Lian is an exception.
This man probably thought that he was sure to win, so he didn't place any other belongings and just brought the mustard bag to the battlefield. As a result, Tang Jie stole everything. When he opened it at this moment, he saw that there were more than 30,000 black stone coins alone. Tang Jie felt extremely happy.
In addition to a large amount of money, all that is left is some medicine for combat healing, a book of magic skills and the black boxing gloves.
Tang Jie took a look at the technique and gave up after seeing that it wasn't suitable for him. As for the black glove, it is a good thing, but it is a high-grade magic weapon. Unfortunately, it is also a magic weapon and is not suitable for Tang Jie, but it can be worth at least 70,000 to 80,000 black stone coins if sold.
With money in hand, Tang Jie could buy materials. Without hesitation, he went directly to Tianma Street.
If the Free City is the trade center of the Blood River Realm,
Then the Southern District is the trade center of the Free City, and Tianma Street is the trade center of the Southern District.
The market on Tianma Street is always lively. Here you can find the most precious elixirs, the best magic weapons, the best talismans, and the rarest materials in the Blood River Realm. As long as you have enough money, you can find them here. Everything you need.
Tang Jie had come here more than once to look for the materials he needed. In fact, some of the eleven materials he had yet to buy had appeared on Tianma Street, but the high price put him off.
Although he could certainly afford some of the treasures and materials he had for sale, most of them that Tang Jie could keep with him were things he could use. Many of these materials are not even available in the Blood River Realm. Once sold, it will be difficult to buy them back.
It wasn't until the battle with Yuan Lian that his financial problem was solved, giving him the capital to enter Tianma Street.
Nuanxinfang is the largest market run by humans on Tianma Street. When I brought Yiyi and Tang Jie here, the waiters stepped forward to entertain them.
Tang Jie was not polite and said directly: "I want to see the star crystals you have here."
Star crystal is the most important material for making teleportation arrays, and can also be used to practice space spells. This object can only be found in the void outside the world. It is an extremely precious space material and contains the power of space. The teleportation array's air-breaking teleportation relies first on the power of space, and star crystal is the core material. Its properties are quite similar to Yujing, but it is far different in terms of power.
Because of this, when Tang Jie took out Yujing for teleportation, the space in the Sheji Diagram was imbalanced. The star crystals that were originally responsible for teleportation replaced Yujing and played a role in stabilizing the space at that moment. As a result, the star crystals in the teleportation array were overwhelmed and began to collapse. Broken, half of it was broken in one breath.
For Tang Jie, if he wants to repair the teleportation array, the most important thing is to replenish the star crystals. Not only that, Tang Jie hopes to get more star crystals. The use of Yu Jing made Tang Jie realize that he might have to take out Yu Jing in the future, which would require enough star crystals to replace the universe to maintain the balance of the country.
Hearing that Tang Jie wanted the Star Crystal, the manager knew that he had met a big buyer and hurriedly led Tang Jie up to the second floor.
"I wonder how many star crystals Master Tang needs?" the steward asked after the introduction.
"Twelve." Tang Jie replied.
One of the waiters held up a jade box, which contained exactly the star crystal Tang Jie needed.
These little things look as shiny as diamonds. Each one is about the size of a walnut, which is the standard standard for star crystals in the Star Luo world. All impurities have been removed from the processed star crystal, leaving only the space energy contained in it.
Tang Jie gently picked up one, and the star crystal divided into thirty-two prism faces reflected all kinds of brilliance. Tang Jie could see countless of himself shuttled through it, forming a long straight line in parallel, and finally winding again. It meandered back and fell back into my own eyes. At that moment, my sight felt infinitely stretched, as if the speed of light had slowed down.
"Crystal clear, pure and flawless, very good!" Even Tang Jie couldn't help but admired. Nuanxinfang is worthy of being a top-notch one. The star crystals they cut almost retain their original power to the greatest extent. .
The steward smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Fifteen thousand black stone coins each."
Tang Jie's hand froze: "So expensive?"
Fifteen thousand black stone coins are seventy-five thousand spiritual coins, and twelve are nearly one million. Although star crystal is the most expensive material among all materials, Tang Jie was still sore at the store's appetite.
The manager said: "This thing only exists in the void outside the world. Isn't it a place where ordinary people can go? It's hard to get. The shop doesn't have much now. These are the last items in the shop. If you sell them, they will be gone."
Tang Jie shook his head: "Eight thousand!"
"I can't do it, I can't do it." The steward shook his head repeatedly: "The minimum is 14,000."
The two sides kept arguing with each other, and Tang Jie tried hard to lower the price to less than 10,000, but the manager refused to let go.
Tang Jie calculated, even if he took over Yuan Lian's property, plus the money he earned before, it would still not be enough to buy these star crystals. He thought for a while and could only say: "Ten thousand or fourteen, but I only have one hundred thousand in hand now. How about placing a deposit first? Please keep it for me for twenty days."
In twenty days, Tang Jie was confident that he could earn the rest no matter what.
The steward touched the beard on his chin and replied: "Of course this is okay..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice: "Fifteen thousand, I bought all the star crystals in your store."
Looking up in surprise, he saw a man striding over.
It was an unusually tall Vampire man, half-naked, with bulging muscles showing his majestic physique, and carrying a huge double-edged battle ax on his back.
Although it is said that the three races of humans, demons and demons can trade with each other in the Free City, in fact, due to race differences, most of the time, everyone trades with their own race. Vampires rarely go to shops opened by humans to buy things, just like humans don't go to shops owned by demons to buy things.
Of course, if it does come, usually nothing will happen.
At this moment, the vampire man came straight to the old steward and said loudly: "Fifteen thousand pieces, I want them all!"
Tang Jie's face darkened: "Brother, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?"
The vampire man replied: "The same applies to the one with the highest price!"
"This is not an auction house."
"As long as the store is willing."
As he said that, the vampire man looked at the steward.
The steward looked embarrassed.
Although stores focus on profits, they also focus on credibility. Although he also wanted to sell the star crystal to a vampire man, he also knew that doing so would easily affect his reputation and offend others. So after thinking about it, he finally said: "Since I have agreed on the price with Master Tang, I can't go back on it easily. But there is no reason for a small store to push door-to-door sales. I don't think it's better to do this. The reservation can be avoided. The real person can buy as much as he can with the money he has. If the real person doesn't have enough money and has treasures for sale, our store will also take them. How about selling the rest to this friend?"
Before Tang Jie could answer, the big vampire man said, "I don't think so. What's the point of a shop selling things like this? Treasures in the world belong to those who are rich! You only have twenty-four star crystals in total here, and I have five." One hundred thousand, I want them all."
With a wave of his hand, a bag filled with black stone coins landed in front of the steward.
Five hundred thousand black stone coins was really a lot, and it made a clanging sound when it fell on the floor, which shocked the steward's heart.
He also wanted to preserve the reputation of the seller, so the vampire man pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "My name is Nashan!"
Hearing this name, the steward didn't dare to speak anymore, and even Tang Jie was slightly shocked.
The name of Nashan is too loud. The beloved son of heaven in the arena, with the title of Shura, is said to be the most promising strongman to be promoted to the God of Killing.
The God of Death has not appeared in Skyfire Arena for many years.
Thousands of victories are never easy to come by.
Faced with someone who hopes to become a god of death, the store owner does not dare to offend.
Nashan had already picked up the jade box and glanced at Tang Jie, his eyes full of provocation: "Don't come here to buy anything if you don't have money."
Tang Jie just smiled, stood up without saying a word, and walked outside.
Seeing that Tang Jie didn't refute or get angry, and just left like that, Nashan couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at Tang Jie's back, Nashan suddenly shouted: "Trash!"
Tang Jie's body paused.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Nashan, his eyes cold.
Nashan said proudly: "What? Not convinced? You humans are all trash."
Tang Jie suddenly laughed.
He said, "Let me guess what you're going to say next."
"Huh?" Na Shan was stunned.
Tang Jie said: "Next, you should say: Hey, boy, if you have the guts, fight me. As long as you beat me, these star crystals will be yours... something like that, right?"
Nashan was stunned. It was obvious that Tang Jie's words had reached his heart.
Tang Jie continued: "Use star crystals as bait, use verbal insults as stimulation, and motivate me and you to fight... You didn't happen to come here to buy star crystals, right?"
Nashan's face darkened.
Then he burst out laughing: "It's interesting. No wonder King Xitian thinks so highly of you."
"King of the West?" Tang Jie was slightly stunned: "What King of the West?"
"Even the King of the West doesn't know." Nashan curled his lips, suddenly flicked the star crystal in his hand, and gave it all to Tang Jie.
Tang Jie was slightly stunned, and Nashanji said: "It's just a small thing, just think of it as compensation for being rude just now."
The star crystals worth half a million black stone coins were given away as promised, and the generosity of the mountain was shocking.
However, Tang Jie frowned and pushed Xingjing back to Nashan: "It's too expensive and I can't bear it."
Nashan raised his eyebrows: "What? I don't like it?"
"No, I just feel that there is no free lunch in the world. Sometimes the more free something is, the more expensive it is. So if you, or the King of the West behind you, has something to do, you can just say it."
"The more free something is, the more expensive it is..." Nashan chewed on these words, and suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Okay! Okay! Well said! Don't act out of whim, don't be greedy for petty profits, brother Tang is really He is a man with a firm mind and a clear mind. Although his strength is not yet clear, his character is rare. The king of Xitian has a good eye, so it is no wonder that he would want me to test you. It's a pity that I am useless. He even invited Brother Tang to live with me. I can’t do it with both hands, but I’ve been a villain for nothing, it’s really ridiculous!”
After saying that, he gave the star crystal to the steward again, took back the black stone coin, and said, "I won't buy this star crystal."
He had previously pretended to be generous and bought the star crystal for just over 20,000 yuan. After Tang Jie exposed his purpose, he went back on his words and stopped doing the deal and took his own money back. It was really shameless.
However, the steward was afraid of his reputation and did not dare to say anything. He could only lower his head in agreement, then turned to look at Tang Jie pitifully, wondering if he still wanted to buy it.
Before Tang Jie could speak, Nashan said impatiently: "Fifteen thousand star crystals are too expensive. I think nine thousand will be enough."
The steward was so frightened that he was about to say something. When he heard that the sale was for 9,000 yuan, Nashan glared at him. The steward did not dare to speak anymore.
Nashanji added: "Brother Tang, don't you have one hundred thousand? Just buy it. This can't be considered a free lunch, right?"
The manager is in a hurry. Nine thousand times twelve is one hundred and eight thousand, okay? I can't say it's just right!
However, he was wise enough not to say this out loud.
Tang Jie took out the money with a smile: "Then thank you Brother Nashan for your righteousness. But what do you want me to do next?"
Nashan said: "It's nothing. It's just that you hide your clumsiness too deeply. Someone wants to see your true strength and let me compete with you."
"So that's it." Tang Jie said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I'm hiding my clumsiness or not. I don't care about keeping a low profile. I just want to live longer, so I have to have some back-ups. If I encounter Tang Ran will never hold back those who need to deal with them with all his strength."
Tang Jie did not lie on this matter.
The reason why he hides his clumsiness is not to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, nor to make a big splash, but just for safety. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the arena. There are many strong players. Those who can reach the back are mediocre.
Tang Jie never believed that he could sweep the arena with his own strength. In this case, it was necessary to hide his clumsiness and reserve some trump cards for himself.
The reason why the trump card is the trump card is because it is most powerful when it is not noticed. If it is discovered early, the effect will be greatly reduced - but Tang Jie has too many hidden trump cards, including Sword Intent, Emperor Blade, Chaos. Wind Step, Soul Refining Pearl, Flesh Millstone, Insight, etc., he was reluctant to even use the Yuncong Heavenly Sword.
"But you will admit defeat, right?" Nashan laughed.
At this point he no longer looked like the boring and provocative idiot.
Tang Jie rubbed the back of his head: "It's just that I haven't met a target worthy of revealing my secrets."
Nashan laughed loudly: "It is indeed the case. Okay, Brother Tang is quick to talk to others. If that's the case, I will also open the sky and speak frankly..."
Having said this, he suddenly glared at the steward and said, "What are you still doing here? Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
The manager screamed in his heart, "Please, are you talking on my territory?"
However, he did not dare to be wordy, so he had to go downstairs with the remaining star crystals. After walking a few steps, he heard Tang Jie say: "Keep the remaining twelve for me. I will come back to buy them in a few days. One hundred thousand."
The steward almost fell down.
Here, Tang Jie and Nashan have sat down, drinking the unfinished tea. Tang Jie said: "If my guess is correct, please ask Brother Nashan to weigh me. It should be the King of the West, right? I don’t know who the King of the West is, who can actually command and mobilize Xiongtai Nashan.”
Nashan chuckled: "It's really hard for you. After fighting in the Tianhuo Arena for so long, you don't even know about the King of the West. King of the West, you don't know, but the Four Heavenly Kings should know, right? The Four Heavenly Kings don't know, but the Four Holy Envoys should know, right? "
Upon hearing the names of the Four Holy Envoys, Tang Jie suddenly realized: "Could this King of the West be one of the Four Holy Envoys of the Sky Fire Tower?"
Although the Tianhuo Arena was founded by Huo Tianzun, Huo Tianzun has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. Legend has it that this person has long been on the Immortal Platform, and he has been free from all walks of life all year round, and will never return easily. The Sky Fire Tower is actually run by four of his disciples, the so-called Four Holy Envoys of Sky Fire.
Because they are in charge of the four directions, they are also called the Four Heavenly Kings.
It is said that the Four Heavenly Kings are all powerful men in the Purple Mansion Realm and are the actual managers of the Skyfire Arena. It is no wonder that they can command characters like Dong Nashan.
However, Tang Jie was still quite curious as to why King Xitian was interested in him.
In this regard, Nashan told the truth in one sentence.
"A person who can read through the original text of the Wuji Huntian Sutra and can cultivate to the first level within forty days should not be limited to the skills you have shown."
Sure enough, you can still see it?
Tang Jie thought.
In the battle with Yuan Lian, he used the two qi of yin and yang when controlling the Fenghuo Yunlong Sword and the Snow-Burning Chi Sword. Although it was very cleverly hidden, it was still seen by someone with an intention. In addition, there was a maid beside him when he read through the original scripture, so it is not unusual for word to spread.
Taking a sip of tea slowly, Tang Jie said: "No wonder Tianhuo Tower has set up a condition where you can learn all the scriptures if you can read the original scripture. Is it really for a purpose? I just don't know why the King of the West is so interested in this kind of people."
Nashan chuckled: "Why do you think the Skyfire Arena exists?"
Tang Jie was stunned: "Isn't it for money?"
"Of course we need money. But the more important thing is always people!" Nashan said: "Skyfire Arena has always acted with the purpose of selecting talents from the beginning of its existence. Combat is just a way of selection, and reading the principles is another way."
Tang Jie asked: "What kind of talents are selected? What are they doing?"
"Want to know?" Nashan chuckled.
He took out a double-edged ax from his back and said in a long voice:
"Fight with me. Being able to survive ten moves proves that you are qualified to join us."
