Chapter 88: Nine Yang Art

However, there were also two famous Emei Sect disciples with the surname Zhou.

Furthermore, theoretically, none of them should descend at the Extraordinary stage!

Ji Ye was puzzled.

This was because the Emei Sect disciple, whose surname was Zhou and was worthy of the gum-chewing girl’s praise would be none other than Zhou Qingyun, the “Three Yins and Two Yuns” from the “Legend of Mount Shu’s Swordsman” or Zhou Zhiruo, the Sect Master of the Emei Sect, who was later known as the “number one martial arts practitioner in the world”!

However, these two people were very powerful in their older age. In addition, they were also very popular.

Theoretically, there was only one explanation for being summoned to a settlement at the current stage. It was to descend through “demotion”!

According to the information he obtained from the Confederation Office, some heroes would choose to forcefully descend to the settlement of their loved ones when they were in an “urgent” situation, such as when their loved ones were facing the threat of aliens.

However, if they did that, they would be punished like Ninth Uncle.

For one, they would lose a large portion of their memories, such as higher-level techniques and skills.

Secondly, because the Soul of Civilization that allowed for the descent was insufficient, it would affect one’s strength and even potential.

As a result, such situations rarely occurred.

But now, Ji Ye guessed that he had encountered an example.

“Sister Zhou, what do we exchange?”

The yellow-clothed girl who introduced herself as “Ning Ling” looked at the resources produced by Twin Dragon Mount on the table and asked the green-shirted woman curiously.

“Red Pip fruit, Spirit Milk, Soul Fluid!”

The Emei Sect disciple called “Sister Zhou” spoke.

“All three?”

Ji Ye looked at the green-shirted woman.

Each of the three resources of Twin Dragon Mount enhanced one particular aspect. Ordinary people, even heroes, would only focus on one. Only top heroes with great ambitions would want to consider all three.

“If you want all three, that’s fine. What do you have in exchange?” Ji Ye asked.

“This should be enough!”

A blue-covered book was thrown on the table.

[Nine Yang Art]

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: An internal energy cultivation method of the Emei Sect. It was comprehended by the founder from an Extraordinary Perfect martial technique. It can allow the internal energy cultivated to obtain the Yang attribute. This book only contains the Extraordinary stage, but it contains the author’s notes.]

As expected, it’s Zhou Zhiruo!

Upon seeing this, Ji Ye was undoubtedly certain of the woman’s identity.

After all, the only person who could directly throw out the Emei Sect’s internal energy cultivation technique was the Emei Sect’s “Heavenly” Sister Zhou.

This was because cultivation techniques in the Land of Inheritance could not be casually imparted.

According to Ninth Uncle, if he did not fulfill a certain condition, imparting cultivation techniques to others would actually cost him a certain amount of EXP and even the cultivation technique’s progress.

Furthermore, his understanding of the cultivation technique had to reach a certain level before he could write a cultivation technique that was recognized by the Land of Inheritance.

“Sure!”

“How about a Red Pip fruit, a bottle of Stone Milk, and a bottle of Soul Fluid?”

Ji Ye nodded at the green-shirted lady’s extremely ordinary face.

Ji Ye was inevitably curious about the other party’s true appearance.

After all, in the original work, this person was described as “as fresh as a fairy, otherworldly like snow—a fairy that had descended to the mortal world while remaining cold and aloof”.

Apart from that, Ji Ye felt that it was a pity.

The martial arts technique mastered by the “number one martial arts master” in the later stages of “Heavenly Sword” was extremely famous in martial arts novels. It was very likely that she could not remember it due to the “demotion”.

Otherwise, he might be able to obtain the first part of a Perfect-grade cultivation technique through trading!

“It’s insufficient!”

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head.

Extraordinary cultivation techniques were extremely rare to begin with. This cultivation technique even contained a portion of her insights. The items from Twin Dragon Mount were not worth the exchange.

“Then let’s use this while the rest will be exchanged using something else. Agreed?”

Ji Ye took out a Red Pip fruit that was even redder than the Red Pip fruit on the table. It also emitted a rejuvenating smell that refreshed anyone who smelled it.

[Vermilion Fruit (Pseudo)]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]

[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]

[Description: A fruit condensed from the essence of the Red Pip Tree. It has part of a Vermilion Fruit’s characteristics. After consumption, the user will permanently be immune to some toxins.]

After consuming the Centenarian Bloodsoul Vine Tree Crystal, the Red Pip fruit tree had already leveled up. After its advancement, apart from the original Red Pip fruit, it also produced a small number of Vermillion Fruits (Pseudo) of a higher level. After eating them, one could permanently obtain a certain toxic immunity.

“Sure!”

Zhou Zhiruo’s expression changed as she nodded.

After trading with Ning Ling and Zhou Zhiruo, there was nothing left on Twin Dragon Mount’s table.

This was because Fatty Zhu had already come over and represented Katarina to agree to Ji Ye’s previous conditions. He took away a large portion of the resources.

“By the way, Brother Ji, can we add each other as friends?”

After the transaction was completed, the yellow-clothed Ning Ling thought of something and smiled at Ji Ye.

“Friends?”

Ji Ye was stunned.

“It’s this City of Humans card!

“Both parties can register each other through the Card. Record each other. As long as you are in the City of Humans, you will be able to obtain the ability to communicate with the other party by spending Civilization Coins!

“Furthermore, the next time we enter the City of Humans, it’s very likely that we will be assigned to the same area.”

Ning Ling waved the silver “card” in her hand smugly!

“Alright!”

There was naturally no need for Ji Ye to reject this.

This was because with the existence of Zhou Zhiruo, a hero who came earlier than expected, even if the yellow-clothed girl, Ning Ling, didn’t seem too reliable, the chances of their settlement winning in the Ten-Species Competition was very high.

It was entirely possible for the two parties to continue working together in the future.

“Wow, it’s a Golden Card just like Sister Zhou!”

“Mine is just a Silver Card!”

Ning Ling said enviously when she saw Ji Ye’s card.

Even Zhou Zhiruo’s hidden expression changed.

She naturally understood the significance of a Golden Card.

Especially when it was a Golden Card in the hands of a Chosen One!

However, speaking of which, the settings of the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Cards in the City of Humans seemed to have deliberately created a “difference in class” that stirred up the competitiveness in people.

After all, it did not mean that those who had not obtained a Golden Card did not have the ability to obtain one in the future!

“Right!

“Brother Ji, we just saw a very fun battlefield of providence over there.

“You’ve already exchanged all your resources. Why don’t we take a look?”

After both parties added each other as “friends”, Ning Ling suddenly thought of something and cheekily grinned at Ji Ye.
