Chapter 23: Pointing and Killing

  Cloud-patterned crown, top-grade ghost equipment, cloud-patterned ban carved with divine technique, has a good protective effect.

  Flowing Cloud Armor, top-grade ghost equipment, has a flowing cloud pattern engraved on the surface of the armor. It is forged from Flowing Cloud Iron that has been tempered thousands of times and refined hundreds of times, combined with the techniques of an equipment refiner, making it extremely lightweight while amplifying its power, with excellent defensive capabilities.

  Xiangyun boots, made from the silk of Xiangyun Tiancan, are further carved with special techniques by the refiner to create the Xiangyun Forbidden Pattern, which has a good protective effect. More importantly, even when climbing cliffs, it can be as flat as walking on flat ground. Whether chasing and killing enemies or escaping, it can play an important role.

  Clear Heart Jade Pendant, taken from the Clear Heart Sacred Mountain Stone, this piece of Clear Heart Jade Pendant allows the wearer to possess a clear mind and sharp brain, not being bewildered by illusions.

  The Yuehua Chamber of Commerce actually has even higher-grade elixirs and equipment, but for Xuan Yuan, the current ones are already enough to meet his needs.

  These four pieces of equipment made Xuan Yuan very satisfied. Now he just wanted to arm himself fully, after all, one's life was only once, and what use was money if it was put in multiple places?

  After putting on the Cloud Pattern Crown, Flowing Cloud Armor, Soaring Cloud Boots and Clear Heart Jade Pendant, Xuan Yuan walked out. Originally, Xuan Yuan had long hair, but now it was tied up by the Cloud Pattern Crown, giving a completely different impression. The Flowing Cloud Armor was light and agile, and Xuan Yuan still wore the white robe with a round moon emblem on the outside, which made him feel an indescribable lightness all over his body. The Clear Heart Jade Pendant was close to his chest, making Xuan Yuan feel cool all over his body. At this moment, Xuan Yuan gave people a feeling of being warm, elegant and harmless.

  "Hmm, not bad, how much does this set cost?" Xuan Yuan smiled and asked.

  The merchant association's host looked at Yan Ziyun and smiled:

  "Considering Miss Yan's sake, I'll accept 100,000 Dou Shi coins from you!"

  Xuanyuan nodded, roughly as he had expected. Apparently, the Moon Flower Gate was still quite useful in Moon Flower City. The other surrounding Moon Flower Guilds' hospitality saw that this man had actually done such a large transaction, and everyone was somewhat envious and jealous.

  In this world, there are alchemists, artifact refiners, coin temperers, and gamblers.

  Every profession is crucial, the Alchemist is responsible for refining Dan medicine, while the Artifact Refiner refines magical equipment. The Currency Refiner ensures the circulation of currency in the vast world of Dou Qi, and although low-level currency has little use, if refined to an extremely high level, it can also be used to refine artifacts and other wonders. The Gambler, on the other hand, uses their own abilities to judge whether certain stones contain Dou Shi, Dou Yu, Dou Jing, and other mysterious existences.

  These four professions, each with different magical means, are not to be underestimated. For example, alchemists and artifact refiners can control the fierce flames between heaven and earth, which is extremely formidable and cannot be resisted by ordinary people.

  Alchemists and craftsmen have lower production costs, so they want to sell their pills and artifacts at a higher price. However, the main sales channel is through the Chamber of Commerce, which allows for a partial price reduction. After selling, half of the reduced price will be deducted from the profit earned by the Chamber of Commerce.

  So in some cities with powerful cultivation sects, there will be business associations that provide for the needs of countless cultivators, forming a cycle.

  Xuan Yuan took out a bag of coins from inside his ring and smiled at Yan Ziyun:

  "Let's go, Big Sister!"

  Yan Ziyun was taken aback for a moment, but still moved forward with her lotus steps. The man's face immediately turned pale and he hastily said:

  "Sir, this money of yours, I'm afraid it's not enough."

  Xuanyuan's sword eyebrow raised, saying:

  "Then you settle accounts."

  The man hastily opened his purse, and suddenly a violent gust of air almost knocked him over, only to see the man's eyeballs nearly popping out:

  "It's actually Doukang coin!"

  The people present were in an uproar, unexpectedly Xuan Yuan actually had Dou Kuang coins. In a city like Yue Hua Men, which couldn't even be considered third-rate, the mainstream currency was mainly based on Dou Shi and Dou Zhe. Even Dou Shifu coins could only be taken out by disciples of Yue Hua Men-like sects. Often, some people would exchange Dou Zhe coins for Dou Shi coins or Dou Shi coins for Dou Shifu coins, giving a 10% profit margin. For example, exchanging 110 Dou Zhe coins for 10 Dou Shi coins was like that.

  So, this Xuan Yuan's thousand pieces of Dou Kuang coin are worth at least 1.2 million pieces of Dou Shi coin.

  Yan Ziyun didn't expect it either, and involuntarily rolled her eyes, but unfortunately said:

  "If you have Dou Kuang coins, directly exchange them for Dou Shi coins at Yue Hua Gate, and you can get at least 1.2 million pieces, why didn't you say so earlier?"

  As soon as this man heard the invitation, his body shook violently and he hastily said:

  "Of course, we will return 20,000 Dou Shi coins to the young master."

  Xuanyuan shook his head and said calmly:

  "No need, give me Eldest Senior Sister instead. Eldest Senior Sister, see what you need and exchange the magical artifacts on your body."

  Yan Ziyun's beautiful eyes sparkled with a smile, and in front of everyone, she kissed Xuan Yuan once:

  "Master didn't spoil you for nothing."

  This move directly stunned Xuan Yuan, causing the cold and aloof aura he had built up to collapse instantly.

  An hour later, Yan Ziyun was overjoyed to bring Xuan Yuan to the Moon Flower Gate. Xuan Yuan knew that Yan Ziyun had used her savings and the 20,000 Dou Shi coins she had just obtained to exchange for a top-grade ghost equipment, greatly increasing her strength. Now that he was following Yan Ziyun, her increase in strength was equivalent to his own increase in strength.

  Yan Ziyun is a straightforward and honest person, not like Yue Teng who would exploit ordinary people. Naturally, she didn't become as wealthy as Yue Teng did after entering the Moon Flower Gate, and she still had to guard against Yue Teng's many schemes.

  In fact, the wealth on Xuan Yuan's body is not just that. In Wu Dong's Dou Ring, there are also many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, at least with prices that are not lowly. There are also elixirs, but their grades are at least fifth or sixth grade. Xuan Yuan, following his principle of not being wasteful, naturally had to buy some himself.

  Moon Gate

  Leaning against the mountain and beside the water, the scenery is beautiful and lush. The green mountains are verdant and seem to drip with dew, while the lake's waters are clear and visible to the bottom. Above the moderately-sized Moon Flower Gate, a dense and rich moonlight gathers.

  The stairs had over a thousand steps, and originally, riding was prohibited within the Moon Flower Gate. However, seeing two people sitting on top of this wolf, chatting and laughing together, directly stunned all the disciples of the Moon Flower Gate, who respectfully called out "Master Sister". In their hearts, they wondered how Master Sister could be so infatuated with someone younger.

  It's clear that Shi Cong and Liu Piaopiao have already spread the news.

  After reaching the strength of sixty-six oxen, his speed increased several times. The over one thousand steps were like flat ground and he arrived at the Moon Flower Gate Plaza in an instant.

  Along the way, many of the Moon Flower Gate's inner disciples had their eyes wide with wonder, as if they couldn't believe that Yan Ziyu was actually just a small man, and yet he seemed so joyful!

  Yan Ziyun jumped down from Guxing's body with a smile as bright as a flower and said:

  "This is the Moon Flower Gate's square, Xuan Yuan junior brother, welcome you to join the Moon Flower Gate."

  But just then, a cold voice rang out:

  "Big sister, I didn't expect you to be so intimate with such a young boy, this is not like you at all."

  Yan Ziyun's mood was good, she turned around and looked at the person who came, saying:

  "What does Hongwen have to do with you?"

  "Nature doesn't concern me, but this kid killed my clan brother, so it concerns me. Hong Zhi is dead, and I'll take his life as revenge." Hong Wen, with a gentle appearance similar to Hong Zhi's, didn't say another word before throwing a punch at Xuan Yuan's chest. Behind him, a flying dragon rose up, symbolizing that he had entered the Dou Ling realm and possessed the power of a flying dragon!

  Yan Ziyun was just about to make a move when Xuan Yuan suddenly shouted:

  "Welcome."

  Xuanyuan didn't dodge or evade, and with one punch he struck the man's eye socket. From Xuanyuan's fist, a white wave of energy rolled out, surging with the strength of seventy-two oxen.

  As for Xuan Yuan's punch, Hong Wen didn't take it seriously. He thought that with one punch, he could definitely shatter Xuan Yuan's sternum and shock his heart meridian.

  Pure power collision.

  Xuanyuan was about to hit Hongwen when he transformed his fist into a finger, unleashing the "Tianlong Finger Kill" from the "Five Claw Heavenly Dragon Fist". The punching power was great, and the killing intent was concentrated in one point. Holding his fist, there was a distance between using his fingers to kill, even Yan Ziyun didn't think that Xuanyuan could use this kind of mysterious hand technique to fight.

  At the moment when Hong Wen's fist was about to hit Xuan Yuan's chest, Xuan Yuan directly raised two fingers and poked them into his right eye. The powerful force directly burst Hong Wen's eyeball, bursting out a ball of blood, Hong Wen let out a miserable howl, the power in his fist weakened by three points, hitting Xuan Yuan's chest.

  Xuanyuan only felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, the blood and energy beneath his skin churning. He was forced back several steps but wasn't seriously injured. After all, under Xuanyuan's long robe as an inner sect disciple, he wore the Flowing Cloud Armor, which could neutralize some of the force. A high-quality ghost artifact wasn't bought for nothing.

  "Little brat, I'm going to kill you." Hong Wen didn't expect this little brat to be so daring, his anger burning in his heart. As the third-ranked inner disciple, he had already entered the Dou Ling realm and started cultivating his Qi, able to perform some external Qi release techniques. But he never expected that against a Dou Shi realm cultivator like himself, he would suffer such a huge loss, how could he swallow this?

  On the square, there were not a few inner disciples, and everyone looked at this scene, feeling extremely surprised. How did Xuan Yuan do it? The gap between each realm was very large, and Xuan Yuan's move just now was completely based on skill. It seems that there will be a good show next.

  Just then, a cold voice came over:

  "That's enough."

  Hong Wen's body shook and he didn't dare to make another move.
