Chapter 76: Another Shortcut!

  "Shortcut, shortcut, haha..."

  Qin Zheng burst out laughing excitedly.

  Always unable to exert the strongest combat power normally, it has always been Qin Zheng's greatest regret. Especially when being forced by circumstances, he might be compelled to reveal his strongest combat power just to survive, and as a result, become the target of pursuit for everyone on the Divine Martial Continent due to practicing the demonic arts.

  So the distress of Qin's politics is something outsiders can't empathize with.

  "I will unleash my strongest power and release a demonic aura. But what if the object I'm holding is itself emitting a demonic aura?"

  "For example, if I have the demon tribe's treasure, the Soul Capturing Demon Pearl in my hand, this treasure itself is a surge of demonic energy. If I hold it in my hand and release its strongest power, which also contains demonic energy, how can others know that it's coming from me? They would probably think it's being released by the demon tribe's treasure itself."

  "This isn't enough to cover up my demonic aura, is it?"

  "The treasures of the demon clan are hard to find, even the East Sea King's palace doesn't have them. What I want to get is indeed very difficult, but it's much easier than creating a way to cover up the demonic aura."

  "Moreover, I can also choose the demon tribe's divine soldier."

  "There are many divine weapons unique to the demon clan that also emit astonishing demonic energy on their own, and some are even powerful enough to fill an area of ten miles around them with demonic energy. To say nothing of my strongest combat power emitting demonic energy, even the demonic energy unique to the demon clan people can't be distinguished from it. This type of divine weapon can also help me conceal my demonic energy."

  Qin Zheng took out the beast bone of Tu Ri Shen Yuan.

  Animal bones are one of the main materials for making pen-like weapons.

  And his Bone Forging level is undoubtedly high, there's no need to mention it. When Yan Wuyue was refining the Divine Soldier Furnace, he deliberately stimulated the demonic energy, and afterwards carried the demonic energy on himself, can't that cover it up?

  Qin Zheng left his own room and went to find Yan Tingyu.

  The pen-like weapon can help him exert his divine law, and later it will also help him play the strongest combat power, how can he not be excited.

  As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw the butler standing guard outside.

  This time, the butler came to inform Qin Zheng that during his closed-door cultivation for nearly a month, the gains from auctioning off the Seven-Colored Demon Beast Egg and other matters were not of much concern to him. He simply told the butler that all such matters should be handled by Song Qianshan.

  After the housekeeper left, he entered Yan Tingyu's room.

  Yan Tingyu was still sitting in the Shenbing Furnace cultivating.

  This is not just because she wants to penetrate the mysteries of the Divine Furnace, but also because she doesn't want to be a burden to Qin Zheng. Although she can control the Divine Furnance, the help it provides to Qin Zheng is still too small in her eyes. She wants to thoroughly master the Divine Furnace as soon as possible, and this mastery is from the very foundation. Once she has completely mastered it and unleashed the mysteries within the Divine Furnace, Yan Lian Yu's combat strength will also undergo a qualitative transformation.

  And in these days, Yan Tingyu also successfully borrowed the subtlety of the Divine Furnace, melting it into his body, just like Qin Zheng's Divine Domain, except that he wouldn't possess the abilities of the Divine Domain.

  Qin Zheng had not disturbed Yan Tingyu, and after waiting for about half an hour, Yan Tingyu opened her eyes, only then did she take out the beast bone.

  "What a beast bone." Yan heard the rain and saw the beast bone, his eyes immediately shone with excitement.

  "Your eyesight is getting stronger." Qin Zheng knew that Yan Tingyu's observation of the beast bone was not about its origin, but rather from the perspective of forging divine weapons. She could see at a glance that it was extraordinary, and her smelting technique had made rapid progress.

  "So many days of hard work, wouldn't it be a waste if the Divine Furnace wasn't used?" Yan Tingyu's eyes gleamed with pride, clearly having gained a lot. "In my opinion, just this beast bone alone should be enough to forge a divine artifact."

  Qin Zheng handed the animal bones over to her and also shared his thoughts with Yan Tingyu.

  "En, I had thought of it long ago. It's just that obtaining this kind of scattered evil energy is too difficult and the refining requirements are extremely high, so I didn't mention it to you."

  "Are you implying that I'm stupid and don't know how to turn around, only knowing one way to walk until it's dark?" Qin Zheng's face turned black.

  Yan listened to the rain and stretched out her hand to stroke Qin Zheng's cheek, "Good boy, you're not going to turn around, are you? Besides, I'm also worried that you'll take risks to find treasures in the demon tribe."

  Qin Zheng curled his lip and said, "I'm afraid of death, I cherish my life, I'm not that stupid." He glanced at Yan Tingyu with a slanted eye, "Is it every time I study the method to conceal demonic energy, you're secretly laughing at me?"

  "I guarantee, absolutely no... hehe...", Yan Tingyu hadn't even finished speaking when she burst out laughing.

  Qin Zhengye directly jumped into the Divine Furnace of Godly Soldiers, wanting to go and take revenge.

  They were both a bit disheveled from their playful tussle.

  Especially on Yan Tingyu's chest, there were signs of being taken advantage of, making Yan Tingyu's pretty face blush, exceptionally enticing, and she said with a mix of shyness and annoyance: "Qin Lede, you're taking advantage of me."

  "Hmph, I'll take advantage of you then. Who let you not tell me?" Qin Zheng said with a smile, reaching out to grab a handful from Yan Tingyu's chest before jumping out of the Divine Soldier Furnace and running off laughing.

  Yan Tingyu angrily shouted: "Qin lacks virtue!"

  This roar echoed throughout half of the Tiger Garden Manor.

  As a result, many people in Huayuan Mountain Villa knew that Qin Zheng had another name, called Qin Que De.

  Every time he hears the title Qin Que De, Qin Zheng thinks of the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra obtained by San Huang. Even if he is in a precarious situation, it's all about having a strong desire to survive. He wants to live on, even if it's just to see what happens to San Huang.

  The following days were much more stable.

  Song Qianshan also collected a large amount of materials.

  It's just a matter of dragon whiskers and phoenix feathers, and Yan Tingyu's requirements must be dragon whiskers and phoenix feathers, all others are not considered, because this is the pen tip, it's the most critical place, if the material is poor, naturally the overall pen-type weapon will be greatly discounted.

  Of course, the dragon whisker and phoenix feather are not referring to the real five-clawed golden dragon's whiskers and phoenix feathers. That would be too difficult, at least these dragons and phoenixes only exist in legends, and very few people have actually seen them, they are said to be the supreme mythical creatures of the divine realm.

  However, there were not a few demon beasts with dragon and phoenix bloodlines.

  The whiskers of the Longxu beast among the dragon blood vessels can meet the conditions, because after all the dragon blood vessels in the body of the Longxu beast are activated and awakened, they will form whiskers and become their attacking sharp weapons.

  As for the Phoenix Bloodline, it's the Phoenix Tail Beast. This demon beast is similar to the Dragon Whisker Beast, with a thin Phoenix bloodline in its body. Once activated, it possesses a phoenix tail, but once this demon beast activates the Phoenix bloodline and becomes a Phoenix Tail Beast, its strength becomes extremely terrifying, even having the qualifications to break through the shackles of humanity and divinity, too powerful, naturally not Qin Zheng's target.

  Qin Zheng then let Song Qianshan start collecting the dragon whisker and phoenix feather, mainly the dragon whisker.

  In two days, Song Qianshan collected over a dozen dragon whiskers. After Yan Tingyu examined them, the essence was extracted from these whiskers, which was about one percent of what she needed.

  A few days passed and Song Qianshan came to inform Qin Zheng of a piece of news.

  The Divine Alliance's monthly trading festival in the Dragon Elephant Mountains' Trading Post has begun. This trading post is open every day, but only once a month, and it is open to all people who can pay some gold coins to buy a stall and sell their own items.

  According to Song Qianshan, the possibility of Longxu Beast appearing at this grand gathering is extremely high. Moreover, Shunfeng'er, who claims to be all-knowing, has also spread the news that he will go to the Trading Post on that day. Song Qianshan was completely helpless against Shunfeng'er and could only hope that Qin Zheng would help him obtain the information about Tianyang's liquid from Shunfeng'er's mouth, which Mo Gongzhu wanted.

  The Qin government will naturally not miss it.

  He set out at dawn on the day when the Trade Fair began, before the sky was bright.

  Dragon Elephant Boxing Arena, Martial Arts Arena

  Before dawn, Guan Chen was already in bitter practice.

  These days, the Longxiang Daochang has once again confirmed through various means that there is indeed a Tianwu Realm demonic tiger within the Tiger Garden, and one of them has even entered a closed-door state to impact the initial stage of the Tianwu Realm. Even if it fails, this demonic tiger will still be half a Tianwu Realm expert, stronger than the Great Completion of the Yiwu Realm. Such strength makes the Longxiang Daochang dare not choose a tough attitude again, which makes Guan Chen extremely angry.

  Will his dragon horn be given away for nothing?

  Guan Chen could not accept it.

  So he went crazy with his practice to vent the discontent in his heart.

  Lin Yuan rushed over while he was cultivating.

  "Big brother, Qin Zheng has left Huayuan Manor." Lin Yuan had long been arranged by Guan Chen to secretly monitor Huayuan.

  "It's finally out." Guan Chen's eyes burst with light, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, scaring Lin Yuan so much that his legs trembled and he almost knelt down.

  Lin Yuan still doesn't know what kind of special martial pulse Guan Chen is.

  Because his martial arts skills have not yet fully matured.

  The unique martial vein's divine ability is not entirely based on the boundary, different martial veins have different requirements, some may require a high boundary, some do not have any boundary requirements, some may require abundant qi and blood, and some even need external force to trigger it. Guan Chen's unique martial vein is the biggest secret of Long Xiang Dao field.

  "Big brother really wants to take action against Qin Zheng, won't it be disadvantageous for us on the Tiger Garden's side." Lin Yuan worriedly said.

  "Tiger Garden may be strong, but they haven't reached the point of ignoring us. If that were the case, why wouldn't we take back the benefits we took from them? As long as I don't kill Qin Zheng, Tiger Garden won't have any strong reaction." Guan Chen said with a sneer, "But he actually dared to snatch my Dragon Horn! I won't rest until I've had my revenge. I want to fight him fairly and beat him so badly that even his mother won't recognize him."

  Lin Yuan heard that it wasn't about killing Qin Zheng, and let out a sigh of relief. He could hear the intention to have a fair duel. Thinking of his own experiences, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Big brother shouldn't be careless, this Qin Zheng is not easy to deal with, and he has divine weapons in his hands."

  Guan Chen sneered, "You overestimate him too much. In my opinion, he's far from it. He's just a beginner in the Wu Realm. Last time I gave him the Dragon Horn, I said I used 70% of my power, but actually, I only used 60%. He barely managed to catch it. With my high-level Wu Realm and the possibility of entering the Great Completion at any time, teaching him is just a matter of lifting my hand." He paused slightly and asked, "Where did Qin Zheng go?"

  "Judging from his direction, he should be heading to Longxiang Peak's Trading Plaza. Today just so happens to be the monthly Open Day." Lin Yuan said.

  Guan Chen rushed to Longxiang Peak at dawn, and his mind had already begun to emerge, thinking of how to humiliate Qin Zheng.
