Chapter 20: Even if you can throw it accurately, it's not as good as having built-in GPS naviga
"Teacher, you have a really good eye for people!" Jing Tianming really wanted to say.
"You can't see me, you can't see me..." Flander tensed up again, praying incessantly in his mind. "Sir, this place doesn't have what you're looking for. You'd better go somewhere else." He was genuinely afraid that this big shot would become increasingly displeased and smash up his shop on the spot.
He even beat him up.
Then a clear, young voice came from behind, "Teacher, this citrine seems a little different from the ones I've seen before."
"This is just an ordinary citrine, but it has too many impurities, which is why it looks like this," Chrysanthemum Douluo said irritably.
"Just a worthless piece of junk!"
Jing Tianming smiled and said, "With some polishing on the outside, it could make a nice decoration. The imperfections inside are quite unique to me. Sometimes, imperfection is a kind of charm. Since we're already here, it wouldn't be bad to buy it as a souvenir."
"Since it's a common citrine with a lot of impurities, it shouldn't be expensive."
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't think much of it, nodded slightly, and casually said, "Since you like it, then take it with you."
As Jing Tianming took the crystal off, he looked around and asked, "Teacher, Professor Ji, Zhu Qing, is there anything you like?"
"A pile of junk, what's so interesting about it?" Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head.
Mr. Ji and Zhu Zhuqing shook their heads slightly to show their attitude.
"In that case, let's go explore some other places," Jing Tianming said, turning to look at Flander, his voice quite loud.
"Boss, how much is this crystal?"
Upon hearing this, Flander's body tensed instinctively, then he straightened up with remarkable ease, a smile on his face. However, this smile appeared somewhat strange on his distinctive face, with its broad forehead, hooked nose, and slightly harsh features.
"Young man, if you like it, how about one gold soul coin?"
"To be honest, the money I make from the things in this shop is hard-earned and delivery fees. The purchase price is about the same. I make a living by earning a little difference in prices." He didn't want to anger the unknown titled expert next to him, but he also felt a little heartbroken that he wasn't making any money.
That would also be a disservice to his professional ethics!
Caught between being cowardly and not being cowardly, he was forced to choose the latter.
"Okay." Jing Tianming replied decisively, and at the same time, he guessed that Flander must have recognized them.
Otherwise, given the author's personality, he was certain that the author would definitely try to rip him off.
Pay the money, leave, and the transaction is completed quickly.
Without any hesitation or fuss.
Flander watched the four disappear from sight, first letting out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he had finally sent those powerful figures he couldn't afford to offend away. Then, he suddenly straightened his chest, a smug glint in his eyes. "No matter what, today I, Flander, did earn a gold soul coin from a Title Douluo. I've gotten my revenge. Hmph, no one can get away with anything from me, Flander!"
I felt incredibly relieved!
He felt like he'd hit the jackpot!
Meanwhile, Jing Tianming was also in a good mood, feeling that he had made a fortune this time.
Although he hadn't learned any hidden weapon techniques, he had been practicing how to control the Moon Gold Wheel. Next, he planned to try applying this ability to objects other than his martial soul, starting with small objects. This crystal was perfect for his needs.
If he can achieve this, then his attack methods will be expanded, and made even more covert.
After all, the size of the Moon Wheel is considerable and easily visible to the naked eye. Rutilated quartz, on the other hand, is extremely small and difficult to detect.
Most importantly, controlling objects with your mind and spirit is completely different from throwing them as projectiles!
Tang San's hidden weapon technique, in essence, merely involves using special force exertion techniques to temporarily change the direction of the thrown weapon. However, if he could control the hidden weapon like he controls his martial soul, he could change its direction anytime, anywhere, however he wanted.
Isn't this much more practical than Tang San's so-called hidden weapon techniques?
Even if you can accurately lose your way, nothing beats a built-in GPS navigation system!
……
After shopping, the four returned to their respective hotel rooms, waiting for nightfall before heading to the Great Soul Arena.
Taking advantage of this opening, Jing Tianming took out the yellow crystal to examine it. He then summoned his martial soul and used the second soul skill of the Moon Golden Wheel to ram and cut it, quickly producing a pile of golden particles. He swiftly picked them up and tried to wrap them with his soul power. As described in the original work, the rutilated quartz visibly extended into a thin, hair-like golden thread. However, this was limited to holding it in his palm and then flicking it out with his will.
Remote control is not possible.
"It seems my mental strength is not strong enough," Jing Tianming guessed, before a new idea popped into his head.
"Perhaps I can try to establish some kind of deep connection with it, just like with a martial spirit."
I tried it right away.
As a result, they were never able to find the right method.
"It seems that there is still a fundamental difference between martial spirits and physical objects."
Helpless, he had no choice but to give up. At least for the moment, Jing Tianming had to admit that he was not yet capable of doing it.
He shook his head and stood up straight.
The room was very soundproof, and the force used when hitting the crystal wasn't too great; it was mostly the Moon Gold Wheel's cutting ability that made it disappear. Therefore, he decided to go and meet with him to explain the situation.
"Teacher, when I was observing that crystal just now, I noticed that the impurities inside were as fine as hair, which is quite unusual."
"Then they broke them open and took them out..."
After meeting, Jing Tianming explained his testing process and results, and then took out a large handful of [something].
"I feel that this thing might have unexpected effects in combat."
He planned to give some to the teacher, just in case.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, intrigued, picked up one and immediately infused it with his soul power to test it. A short while later, his eyes widened in surprise.
"This thing certainly has some merit in combat. My disciple, you've struck gold!"
Jing Tianming smiled and said, "Teacher, since they're useful, you can keep these. I've kept quite a few for myself."
"Alright." Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded. "I'll study it further. If it works well, I'll have someone look for where to buy it."
Upon hearing this, Jing Tianming pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "Perhaps Gengxin City in the Star Luo Empire has it."
"That's the headquarters of the blacksmiths' guild. It's said that they sell all sorts of rare metals there, and they also hold auctions."
"This place definitely presents an opportunity," Chrysanthemum Douluo said decisively after a moment's thought. "I'll send someone to take a look!"
"..."
After finishing his business, Jing Tianming returned to his room and began his cultivation.
As the sun sets and night falls, the afterglow outside the window gradually changes from orange-white to orange-yellow, and the air begins to cool.
South of Soto City, Shrek Academy.
With his shoulders and right arm wrapped in bandages, Dai Mubai sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the setting sun in the distance, looking dejected and with lifeless eyes.
As the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, with a noble status and possessing the White Tiger, a top-tier beast spirit on the continent, and with considerable cultivation—he had broken through to level 32 at the young age of 13—he simply couldn't understand why he couldn't even defeat a level 23 Great Soul Master.
Was I just too bad, or was that kid too strong?
He just couldn't understand it!
As for his so-called fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, he didn't care much. As a seasoned veteran of the dating scene, he always believed that women were like clothes; new styles would always appear. If the old one was discarded, he could simply get a new one—why bother?
I was just thinking about it.
"Boss Dai!" Ma Hongjun rushed in, his voice booming.
