I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Immediately afterwards, he felt a lightness on his waist. It turned out that a jade pendant he had just bought was missing.

Zhao Qi frowned and immediately chased after him. The black shadow was agile and almost escaped Zhao Qi's pursuit several times. But Zhao Qi was not one to give up easily. He used the power of the star core to greatly increase his speed and quickly approached the black shadow.

"Thief, where are you running!" Zhao Qi shouted and reached out to grab the black shadow.

Black Shadow didn't seem to expect that Zhao Qi would pursue him so closely. In desperation, he turned around and slapped him with his palm. A powerful wave of energy struck Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi sneered and resisted the palm without dodging or dodging. There was a loud "bang" sound, and the black figure was shaken and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

Zhao Qi stepped forward and was stunned after taking a look. It turned out that the black figure turned out to be a young man who looked to be no more than a teenager. His clothes were ragged, his face was covered with dust, but his eyes were bright.

"Why did you steal my things?" Zhao Qi asked in a deep voice.

The young man struggled to stand up and looked at Zhao Qi with wide eyes, "I...I'm just too hungry and want to change some money to buy food."

Zhao Qi frowned, looking at the young man's thin body and firm eyes, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

He sighed, took out some coins from his pocket and handed them to the boy, "Take them, and don't steal anything again."

The young man took the coin, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, "Thank you, big brother. I will definitely return it to you in the future."

Zhao Qi smiled and said nothing. He turned around and left the market, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

The market is bustling with people, and there are a variety of strange products. Merchants and adventurers from all star regions meet here, looking for their favorite treasures.

He heard that rare and exotic treasures often appeared in the market, so he decided to try his luck here to see if he could find something that would be helpful to his practice.

As soon as he entered the market, he was blocked by an enthusiastic businessman. This businessman is dressed in rich clothes and has a professional smile on his face. He is Yun Miao, a businessman from the Magic Night Star Territory.

"Hey, this young hero, you are someone who knows the goods right away. Come on, come on, I have a good thing here, I guarantee that you will be satisfied." Yun Miao said mysteriously, while leading Zhao Qi towards his stall .

Zhao Qi followed curiously and saw an exquisite small box placed on the stall.

Yun Miao carefully opened the box, revealing a magic weapon that shone with a faint light.

"This is the legendary luminous pearl, which can illuminate the front in the dark, and contains mysterious power. Look at the luster and texture, it is definitely a rare treasure." Yun Miao introduced eloquently.

Zhao Qi observed Ye Mingzhu carefully, but was secretly wary in his heart. He has practiced a special induction method that allows him to discern the essence of objects.

In his perception, although this luminous pearl did contain a certain amount of energy, it was far from the mysterious level that Yun Miao said.

"How much?" Zhao Qi asked casually, his face expressionless.

"Hey, this is a rare treasure, so the price is naturally high. But seeing that you are a knowledgeable person, I will give you an affordable price. How about 10,000 interstellar coins?" Yun Miao said with a smile.

Zhao Qi secretly smiled in his heart, this price was obviously a big deal. He shook his head: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

Seeing this, Yun Miao hurriedly said: "Young hero, don't leave in a hurry, the price is negotiable. How about you make an offer?"

Zhao Qi stopped and turned to look at Yun Miao: "One hundred interstellar coins."

"What?!" Yun Miao exclaimed, "You are joking."

"I'm not kidding." Zhao Qi said lightly, "Although your Night Pearl has some value, it is far from the price you asked. One hundred interstellar coins is already the highest price I can give."

Yun Miao's expression changed, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, since the young hero is so knowledgeable, I will be a favor and sell you one hundred interstellar coins."

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, took out one hundred interstellar coins and handed it to Yun Miao, then picked up the Night Pearl and turned around to leave.

He knew in his heart that although this luminous pearl had some value, it was not high, and he bought it just to satisfy his curiosity.

After walking out of the market, Zhao Qi was playing with the night pearl and suddenly frowned.

Because he sensed a weak breath fluctuation coming from the night pearl, this feeling made him a little surprised and curious.

"Could it be that this Night Pearl really has some secret?" Zhao Qi thought to himself while observing the Night Pearl carefully.

Under careful observation, he found that there were some subtle lines on the surface of the luminous pearl, which formed a complex pattern that looked like an ancient formation.

"Is this... a teleportation array?" A look of surprise flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary night pearl would actually hide such a secret.

This discovery made Zhao Qi have a strong interest in this luminous pearl.

He decided to go back and study the teleportation array carefully to see if he could find any new clues or secrets.

Yun Miao, who was in the market, was looking at Zhao Qi with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hmph, boy, do you think you have found a treasure? This night pearl is not that simple..." Yun Miao said to himself with a strange smile on his lips.

Zhao Qi didn't know what Yun Miao was thinking. He was already immersed in the study of Night Pearl and couldn't extricate himself.

Yun Miao picked up a crystal ball that shone with colorful light and said mysteriously: "Young hero, this is the legendary Magic Night Crystal. It can predict the future and is a treasure that practitioners dream of."

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows slightly. He used the power of the star core to sense it slightly, but found that the energy fluctuations in the crystal ball were extremely weak, completely inconsistent with its gorgeous appearance. He smiled secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Oh? So magical? I wonder how this precious crystal can predict the future?" Zhao Qi asked deliberately.

Yun Miao's eyes lit up, thinking she had met a big customer, and quickly explained: "Just put your hand on this crystal, close your eyes and sense it calmly, and you can see fragments of the future."

Zhao Qi thought to himself: This Yun Miao is really a veteran, and he can even make up such lies. He smiled slightly and said, "Since it's so magical, I'd like to try it."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch the crystal ball. However, just when his hand was about to touch the crystal ball, he suddenly changed direction and grabbed Yun Miao's wrist.

"Oh, young hero, what do you mean?" Yun Miao asked in surprise.

Zhao Qi smiled coldly: "Boss Yunmiao, is there something wrong with your precious crystal? The energy fluctuations I sensed are not strong, but rather weak. Are you lying to me?" Yunmiao's face changed, but He quickly regained his composure: "Young hero, you are joking, my crystal is genuine. If you don't believe me, check it out!"

Zhao Qi let go of his hand, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to waste my money. Are there any other good things in your stall?"

Seeing this, Yun Miao knew that Zhao Qi was not someone who was easy to fool, so he changed his face and said, "Young hero really has good eyesight. Since you are not interested in this crystal, I have a more precious treasure."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from under the stall and opened it carefully. There is a black bead lying in the box. The surface of the bead is shining with a faint light, which looks quite mysterious.

"This is it?" Zhao Qi asked curiously.

"This is the Shadow Bead. It can hide your body at critical moments and evade the enemy's tracking." Yun Miao said mysteriously, "This is my treasure at the bottom of the box. Most people don't take it out."

Zhao Qi's heart moved, and the function of this shadow bead was indeed of some use to him. But he was not in a hurry to express his position, but once again used the star core power to sense.

This time, he sensed that the beads did contain powerful energy, and that this energy was subtly connected to the star core power in his body.

"How to sell this thing?" Zhao Qi asked.

A sly light flashed in Yun Miao's eyes: "Young hero, if you are interested, you can take it away with one thousand interstellar coins."

Zhao Qi secretly smiled in his heart: Yun Miao really dared to speak. One thousand interstellar coins is obviously a bit expensive for this treasure. However, he also knew that the Shadow Bead was indeed worth the price, but he didn't want Yun Miao to find it too easy to obtain.

"Isn't it too expensive?" Zhao Qi frowned deliberately and said, "How about five hundred interstellar coins?"

Yun Miao pretended to be embarrassed: "Young hero, your price is too low..."

After some haggling, Zhao Qi finally bought the Shadow Bead for 800 interstellar coins.

He was secretly happy: with this shadow bead, he had another guarantee during interstellar travel. And Yun Miao was also happy from ear to ear: Although it didn't sell for the expected high price, it was still a profit.

In the secret base of the Dark Star Alliance, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Demon Lord Heisha and Xueying'er were sitting at a huge round table. There was an interstellar map in front of them, with various complicated trajectories and marks on it.

The Black Demon Lord was dressed in black robes, with a gloomy face and cunning and ruthlessness in his eyes.

He rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "That boy Zhao Qi's reputation among the stars is getting higher and higher. If this continues, the status of our Dark Star Alliance may be affected."

Xue Ying'er, dressed in red like fire, has a charming face, but with a hint of coldness that is not easy to detect.

She chuckled softly and said, "The Demon Lord has overthought himself. Isn't this fire trial a good opportunity for us to get rid of him?"

The Black Demon Lord nodded, but then shook his head and said: "This boy is extraordinary. He has the power of the star core and the support of so many interstellar forces. It is not easy to get rid of him."

"That boy Zhao Qi actually dares to accept the flame test of Yan Ji. He really doesn't know whether to live or die." Demon Lord Heisha said coldly, with a strong murderous intention in his voice.

The little demons standing below lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound. They know that the Black Demon Lord has zero tolerance for any potential threats.

"Send the order and have our people ambush near the trial site. Once Zhao Qi appears, we will take action immediately." Demon Lord Heisha continued to give the order.

At this moment, a demon cultivator in gray robes hurriedly walked in, "Demon Lord, there is intelligence that Zhao Qi will go to the Green Field Planet to practice before going to the trial field."

Hearing this, Demon Lord Black Evil flashed a hint of cunning in his eyes, "Oh? This is a good opportunity. Pojun Star Thief, you lead a team of men to intercept him on the Green Field Planet."

A hint of cunning flashed in Xue Ying'er's eyes, and he said softly: "I have a plan to ensure that he cannot escape during the fire trial."

Demon Lord Heisha raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

Xueying'er continued: "We can set up multiple traps in the trial field, and then secretly send our people to sneak into the trialists and wait for opportunities. As long as Zhao Qi is not careful, he can be taken down in one fell swoop. "

After hearing this, Demon Lord Heisha showed a gloomy smile on his face: "Haha, what a good strategy! However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we still need more preparations."

The two immediately fell into an in-depth discussion, focusing on every detail. They not only have to consider Zhao Qi's strength, but also deal with possible unexpected situations.

At the same time, Zhao Qi, who was far away in the Star Territory, did not know all this. He was still making final preparations for training with Qing Feng and Lan Che.

The three of them sat around an ancient magic circle. Qing Feng and Lan Che continued to teach Zhao Qi profound cultivation methods and combat skills.

Zhao Qi listened with fascination. He knew that this fire trial was a huge challenge for him, but he also believed that with the help of his friends, he would be able to win.

In the training ground of Star Territory, the sun shines through the treetops and dapples on the soft grass.

Zhao Qi stood in the center of the field with a solemn expression. He was making final preparations for the upcoming fire trial.

Qing Feng and Lan Che stood aside. They were both close friends of Zhao Qi. At this moment, they were observing Zhao Qi's every move with concentration.

"Zhao Qi, your swordsmanship has improved a lot, but what you need now is inner peace." Qing Feng spoke slowly, his voice gentle and full of power.

Zhao Qi nodded, took a deep breath, and the long sword in his hand danced more smoothly, as if it was one with the wind.

Lan Che made suggestions from time to time on the side: "Zhao Qi, you can try to integrate the star core power into the swordsmanship. This can not only increase the attack power, but also increase the defense power."

When Zhao Qi heard this, his heart moved, and he tried to follow Lan Che's suggestion.

Sure enough, when the star core power slowly flowed into the sword body, the power of his sword technique increased greatly, and the whistling sound of the sword blade cutting through the airflow could even be heard in the air.

However, cultivation is not always smooth sailing. When Zhao Qi tried to inject more star core power into his sword technique, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost his sword.

Upon seeing this, Qing Feng and Lan Che immediately stepped forward to support him. Qing Feng frowned: "Zhao Qi, you are too impatient. Although the star core power is powerful, it needs to be done step by step."

Lan Che also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the way to practice is to persevere and not to rush."

Zhao Qi took a deep breath, and a warm current surged in his heart. (End of chapter)
