book of troubled times

Chapter 890: Stones from other mountains can attack jade

Zhao Changhe happily accepted the materials for his gigolo job and examined them more carefully.

It can be vaguely perceived that although similar effects exist in the Heavenly Book World, the rules for the two are not completely consistent, which is based on the different origins of the world. If you want to be more intuitive, it will be more obvious to compare it in the magic world. The magic fireball and the immortal fireball both result in fire, but the rules are different.

The things in the world of heavenly book were born and defined by the way of heaven, so they basically have no effect on him. He can just jump out of the rules of this world.

If you want to reforge the Dragon Bird, you don't need to change all the materials, you just need to add some core materials.

Zhao Changhe swept his bright eyes across the counter, secretly analyzing which ones were suitable for Longque.

As a result, Ye Wuming spoke first: "These materials are very ordinary, let's go into the cabinet and take a look."

She was really afraid that Zhao Changhe would bring some gifts to others and waste her money. She didn't have many spirit stones...

The shop owner smiled and said, "Follow me, my dear husband and wife."

Ye Wuming couldn't hold back and angrily asked, "Who told you that we are husband and wife?"

The shop owner was stunned. Just now, the man brought the girl in, they were very affectionate, and you were willing to pay the man. If they were not a family of three, could it be that the man and the girl were a couple, and you were the mother-in-law?

Fortunately, the owner didn't dare to ask this question out loud, so he could only nod and lead the three of them into the inner hall.

Zhao Changhe would not help Ye Wuming explain... In fact, appearing in front of outsiders with Ye Wuming as equals was already a feeling that made Zhao Changhe sigh, not to mention the couple. His eyes were mainly on the goods on display in the inner hall, and he frowned slightly.

The things inside are indeed better than those outside, and there are also some suitable for Longque, but how to say it... Compared with the level of wanting to split the sky, it is obviously not good enough. If you give Longque just ordinary ones, Longque will rebel.

Having said that, things that can really match the level of Dragon Bird would not be sold in any store. If any store really has this level, it means that the world is several levels higher, which is not a good thing.

Zhao Changhe looked at it calmly and said casually: "It's good... Is there anything better?"

The shop owner said: "If customers have any specific needs, they can list them. We still have some channels and can help raise funds."

Zhao Changhe asked: "Is there any special auction or something like that?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "Of course we do, and this kind of auction in our city is usually hosted by our shop... but we haven't had any recently. If you need it, you can leave your contact information and we will notify you when the time comes."

You guys are hosting... Zhao Changhe glanced at Ye Wuming and knew that she had chosen the location with care. Since this store has a backstage and is representative, this city is probably not just a random small city, but should be a high-end map with more events in this world.

Since this is already an advanced map, we can roughly determine the strength of the world. From the current experience, the strength of this world is roughly the same as that of the Heavenly Book World, and may be slightly weaker.

You are still a stubborn person, you don't say anything, just let me observe and judge. Virtue, am I still a newbie under your observation and scrutiny?
Be careful or you might get knocked over.

Zhao Changhe broke off a small corner of the Blood-Drinking Stone he had just obtained and held it in his hand. When he opened his hand again, it had changed from a material that was neither stone nor stone to a small piece of white jade: "Keep this jade. When the time comes, call me and I will respond."

In fact, Zhao Changhe was just randomly taking advantage of the situation. It was more likely that he had already returned to the Heavenly Book Realm when the auction was held, and he would not be able to sense any communication through the realm. But when the shop owner saw this, his expression changed.

I just noticed that this family of three was extraordinary, and I thought they were not ordinary people, so I left them with a good relationship. But I didn't expect that they could turn stone into gold and iron into jade. This level of changing the composition of objects is something that few people in the world can do. Where did this dragon from across the river come from?
The shop owner's mind raced, and his tone became even more cautious: "What is your name?"

Zhao Changhe's eyes rolled around: "Disperse at night."

Ye Wuming: “?”

Ling Ruoyu turned her head away.

The shop owner had no idea what these three people were thinking, so he complimented them, "What a good name. It sneaks into the night like the wind, moistening things silently."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. It's just an ordinary name. My wife's name sounds better..."

"Stop." Ye Wuming said expressionlessly, "Let's talk about your business."

The shopkeeper coughed dryly: "What kind of materials do you want?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I only want the purest indestructible power to forge the blade."

The shop owner knew that for people of this level, the more ordinary the request sounded, the more rare the material was. This was a true return to the essence of simplicity. It meant that the so-called indestructible was no longer an adjective, but a reality.

He thought about it, then suddenly smiled and said, "If this is the kind of need, I do have a suggestion."

Zhao Changhe nodded and said, "Please go ahead."

"Less than 300 miles east of the city is the dojo of Venerable Tianjian. Venerable Tianjian has a piece of Void-Breaking Star Iron in his hand, which may meet your needs. As for how you negotiate with Venerable Tianjian and whether you can obtain it, it has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "Do you have a grudge against this venerable?"

"Let's be frank. Our family does have some problems with Heavenly Sword Reverend, so we are happy to cause him some trouble." The shop owner smiled and said, "But I can swear on my soul that the news is true... You decide what to do."

Zhao Changhe nodded: "Okay, I'll discuss it with my wife."

Ye Wuming: “?”

Zhao Changhe pulled her and Ling Ruoyu away and whispered, "I have something else to discuss with you, not this kind of thing."

Ye Wuming said angrily: "I don't care what you have to do. You're still taking advantage of me, right?"

"What's the point of saying it's a good deal? Besides, aren't you the child's mother?"

Ling Ruoyu: "..."

Ye Wuming held his forehead with his hand: "What do you want to discuss?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I suddenly thought that there might be something similar to the Heavenly Dao in the other world. Why don't you consider inviting external help? Or will the Heavenly Dao bring in other friends to mess with us together..."

Ye Wuming shook his head: "The existence of the Heavenly Book, which can generate a world of living beings, is a treasure among treasures. Who doesn't want to monopolize it? Who would go out of their way to find an outsider to compete with him for it? He is not crazy. Similarly, we dare not let the wolf into the house casually. Don't drive away Yuan Tiandao with great difficulty, but a more troublesome one comes."

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and said, "That's right... So it's better to keep this matter as an internal matter and not make it bigger?"

"Well, the consequences are unpredictable. We dare not gamble with the lives of all living beings in the world." Ye Wuming asked back: "How about, do you want to go to the Tianjian Dojo to take a look?"

"For the sake of the dragon bird, I must go and see it."

The dragon bird trembled and felt very refreshed.

Ling Ruoyu glanced at it and gritted his teeth.

Zhao Changhe asked again: "But we should know ourselves and the enemy before we go... Since you are familiar with this place, do you know the level of this Heavenly Sword Master?"

Ye Wuming shook his head: "I haven't fought him, but I have watched him fight with others. He is slightly weaker than you, but not much weaker."

"Didn't you fight them and experience the battle in another world for yourself?"

"I have never taken action easily in other realms, mainly because I am worried that exposing myself as a Heavenly Dao of a realm will cause rejection by the Heavenly Dao of this realm..." Ye Wuming glanced at him and said, "It's mainly because I know it after seeing it, and I don't need combat experience like some rookies do."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Ling Ruoyu raised her hand and asked, "Can I fight?"

Seeing the little girl eager to try, Ye Wuming immediately put on a kind face: "You two can do it, it's no problem."

Zhao Changhe said: "No hurry, let me learn about other things first."

As he spoke, he stopped a passerby and said, "Brother, we want to visit Venerable Tianjian. Do you know if the Venerable has any taboos? Would it be presumptuous to go directly to him?"

"From outside?" The passerby laughed, "You know the rules well. If you go straight into Tianjian Mountain, you will definitely be seen as a provocation. Tianjian Zun has a Hero Pavilion in the city, accepting challenges one by one. Those who can challenge and break the pavilion will be treated as guests of honor. Everyone in the city knows it."

Zhao Changhe smiled and bowed: "Thank you."

Ling Ruoyu looked at Zhao Changhe with admiration, her eyes sparkling. Ye Wuming pouted unhappily, Zhao Changhe seemed reckless but was actually steady, she knew him too well, not pretending to be a king was already very unrefined... Oh, that was because when he asked him to pass on his name, he used the opportunity to enter the night... It could be regarded as a lesson for Ling Ruoyu.

The three of them arrived at the so-called Hero Pavilion with different thoughts. There was someone guarding the pavilion. When they saw the three people coming, they all asked solemnly, "Who are you..."

Zhao Changhe bowed and smiled, "It is said that if you want to see Tianjian Zhenren, you must first challenge the Hero Pavilion. We are here for this purpose. I wonder if there are any rules for the challenge?"

The guard said, "This is a one-person challenge only. Your companions can enter together, but they cannot be replaced."

"Can I use magic weapons?"

"Yes, we who are guarding the gate also have magic weapons."

"That's fine."

"Who is the challenger?"

Zhao Changhe and Ye Wuming pushed Ling Ruoyu forward in sync: "She."

Ling Ruoyu: “???”

Why don't you ask me to just chop down Tian Dao?
Zhao Changhe took out the Dragon Bird and hung it on Ling Ruoyu's back, smiling and saying, "You have two stages of transformation. If you can't beat him, use the Dragon Bird. If you still can't beat him with the Dragon Bird, use the Galaxy. Go ahead, girl. This is your test."

Ling Ruoyu then remembered that her father had once planned to let her travel to the ancient sword to test gods and demons, and later he said he had some other ideas... It turned out that Zhao Changhe had actually thought about visiting the other world at that time. The so-called need to confirm his ideas was to see how the conversation with his ex-wife went?

Ling Ruoyu suddenly felt that all of her mother's reactions were within her father's predictions... In terms of the overall situation, her mother had always been the world's ceiling, but in terms of the male and female ranks, it seemed that someone was being crushed...

The girl stepped into the pavilion with thoughts about the relationship between her parents in her mind.

When I went in, I found that it looked like a simple building from the outside, but it was filled with various magic arrays and prohibitions inside. It was obviously used to absorb energy to prevent internal fighting from destroying the building.

A middle-aged female Taoist priest sat cross-legged in the center, refining an elixir.

Zhao Changhe followed Ling Ruoyu, stroking his chin and looking at the fire in the furnace. He was thinking that compared with the world of immortal cultivation, alchemy was much less important in the world of heavenly books. Medicines were mainly used for healing, strengthening the body or improving physical fitness. They were called elixirs, but in fact they were all pharmacology, which was quite different from the various magical uses of elixirs in the world of immortal cultivation.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the middle-aged Taoist nun open her eyes and look at Ling Ruoyu.

Ling Ruoyu took a step forward and bowed, saying, "Junior Ling Ruoyu, please teach me, Senior."

The Taoist nun looked at Ling Ruoyu for a while and frowned: "Strange bone age, strange soul, strange sword intent... Are you a demon who has taken over a human body?"

Ling Ruoyu: "..."

It seems that it is not wrong to understand it this way. Longque was even called a demon sword... But according to this person, do such "monsters" really exist here? I have never seen one since I came from the countryside.

"Forget it, no matter what it is." The Taoist nun flicked her fingers, and a pill flew out of the furnace: "If you can break my skill, you will ascend to the next level."

"Swoosh!" The pill rushed towards Ling Ruoyu, and when it got close, it suddenly turned into smoke and exploded.

Ling Ruoyu retreated and held his breath, and the long sword in his hand suddenly burst into a ball of sword flowers.

Layers of sword shadows blocked the smoke outside, and at the same time a wisp of sword energy was separated and attacked the Taoist nun's side.

The Taoist nun's expression changed slightly. What a strange sword energy. Is this what sword cultivation does?

She casually diverted the sword energy, and the fire in the alchemy furnace spread forward and rose up with a roar.

Ling Ruoyu was holding back her face. She had never seen such a fighting style in her life. Isn't this cheating? It is said that Suzaku Auntie's flames were released at the third level of the secret treasure. The Taoist nun in front of her was about the same strength as Ling Ruoyu. How could she set fire so easily?
She didn't know that with this Taoist nun's system, she could probably release fireballs in the Qi Refining Stage... The current battle situation didn't allow her to think too much, so she quickly stabbed the floor tiles with her sword, and the sword energy burst out, cutting off the source of the underground fire.

At the same time, he took out a small dart with his left hand and threw it at the nun.

Zhao Changhe stroked his chin and said, "Good sense of smell."

Ye Wuming glanced at him sideways and wanted to say that of course, no matter whose daughter she was... But he swallowed the words back. This guy had taken advantage of this relationship to tease her enough today, so he couldn't let him continue to climb up the pole.

With a clang, the Taoist nun stretched out her hand and flicked the dart, which hit the alchemy furnace. A sword flashed before her eyes, and Ling Ruoyu and the sword merged into one, passing through the alchemy furnace like a rainbow, rushing towards her firmly.

With the fire all over the floor, the girl looked like she was flying into hell, the picture was very beautiful.

Just as she was about to succeed, the nun suddenly threw the whisk in her hand.

Ling Ruoyu: "?"

Others use whisks as a whip-like weapon, which can wrap around the sword and is very difficult to wrap around. Why are you throwing your whisk up?

A thought flashed through his mind, and the whisk suddenly expanded in size, "whoosh" and rolled towards her waist.

Ling Ruoyu was shocked and tried to avoid it by twisting her body in mid-air, but the whisk kept chasing her and sweeping her away, as if it could extend infinitely.

Zhao Changhe pursed his lips and watched in silence.

Magical weapons... The reason we come to observe these is to find out what is different between us and the way of heaven, right?

Such a low-level battle has already revealed clues in all aspects.

"Bang!" Ling Ruoyu, who was chased by the whisk and had no way to go up or down, suddenly kicked the central alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace was kicked over, and flames rose up, just in time to burn the whisk in the air into ashes.

Ling Ruoyu's sword was already on the Taoist nun's neck, and she gasped violently: "Thank you."

The Taoist nun looked at her strangely: "Why do you seem to have never fought before? You are so unfamiliar with various spells and treasures?"

Ling Ruoyu: "..."

I've been in a lot of fights, but none of them are as shameless as you.

"Forget it." The Taoist nun was very impressed: "You are so unfamiliar, but you can use the environment to win. With such a swordsmanship, I'm afraid the Venerable will like it very much. Go up."

Ling Ruoyu asked: "How many more floors are there?"

"Not much, nine floors."

Ling Ruoyu's eyes sparkled with excitement. As expected, the battle over there had little significance to him, and these strange trials were more tempting.

"Violent maniac, I don't know whose temperament she inherited from." Ye Wuming looked helplessly at Ling Ruoyu's energetic expression. The girl's face was like a cat, and her breath was a little messy. It was obvious that the previous battle was not easy. There were still eight battles to go, and it was obvious that each battle was more difficult than the last. The little girl was actually excited.

Zhao Changhe tilted his head and didn't answer. Whose temper could this be? Of course it was a certain bloodthirsty Shura...

"Queque, let's go." Ling Ruoyu patted the door behind him excitedly: "Maybe I'll need your help in the next battle!"

Watching his daughter walk up quickly, Ye Wuming walked over with his hands behind his back to catch up, and asked without looking away: "What are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"

Zhao Changhe followed, looking inward, and replied casually: "I'm upgrading."

Ye Wuming: “?”

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "Some of these insights are not only for Ruoyu... They are also a revelation to me."

"…What did you realize?"

"At least I can think of how I should use the Heavenly Book if it were placed in front of me again." Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked at Ye Wuming: "Ms. Shu Ling, would you consider... letting me use it?"
