Accompanied by a mouthful of lunar power, the little silly landed at Zhang Yuanqing's feet.
His two short, chubby hands supported him on the ground, looking around with a questioning gaze, then obediently "grabbing" his master's trouser leg. In this unfamiliar environment, the infant spirit instinctively felt fear and relied on its master.
So foolish and cowardly, nothing like me. Ah well, it's still a child after all. Zhang Yuanqing conveyed the instruction to grab something. After receiving the master's order, the little silly turned its big, dark eyes to the stall.
It tilted its head, hesitated for a moment, and then bravely crawled towards the stall. It sniffed at the zombie body fluids, and crawled away with a look of disgust. As for the blasting stones and other non-yin materials, the little silly didn't even look at them.
Zhang Yuanqing asked a question every time the little silly looked at a material.
"What's this?"
"Blood soil from a gathering yin place in a mass burial ground."
"What's this again?"
"The umbilical cord of a ghost infant... Are you going to buy something or not?"
"Of course I'm buying. Why else would I be here?" Zhang Yuanqing saw the little silly stop in front of a nautical compass, and immediately asked, "What's this?"
This nautical compass was very old, with a brass casing and a blurry glass cover. The overall size was only the palm of a hand. The dial was engraved with English,
and twisted runes.
A compass used by pirates in the Age of Exploration.
"This one, ah, this one is amazing... I found it from a foreign Wayfarer. It's said to be a fragment of a tool, and a high-level tool fragment." The stall owner said eloquently.
"Fragment..." Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized the compass, which looked intact except for its age, and said unhappily, "Where is it broken?"
"I don't know." The stall owner shrugged.
"Can I touch it?" Zhang Yuanqing squatted down.
The stall owner's eyes lit up, "Of course."
Before, this customer only asked and didn't look, obviously not interested in buying. But now, he was clearly interested in the nautical compass.
This thing was indeed found from a foreign Wayfarer and had been in his hands for a long time without being sold.
Zhang Yuanqing picked up the compass, held it in his palm, and waited for a few seconds. No corresponding information appeared.
However, through contact, he sensed that this was an item belonging to the yin element.
"Materials and tool fragments won't have information." The stall owner knew at a glance that this was a newbie.
At this time, Guan Ya said, "What profession is the compass from in foreign countries?"
The stall owner recalled, "It seems to be the 'Void' profession. In foreign countries, this profession is also called 'Merchant'. I also think 'Merchant' is more in line with the characteristics of the profession."
Void is the name given by the Spirit Realm, and Merchant is the nickname taken by the Wayfarers.
Void? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. He suddenly remembered the Red Dancing Shoes. He remembered that Ou Xiangrong said that the Red Dancing Shoes belonged to a foreign Void profession tool.
The little silly chose this compass, so it couldn't be fake. But why would the little silly choose something from the Void profession? Wasn't it influenced by a tool from the Musician profession that it became a spirit servant?
Zhang Yuanqing began to think.
"How much?" Guan Ya asked.
"One million." The stall owner asked for a high price.
"How do we know you're not just using a piece of junk to fool us?" Guan Ya planned to bargain and signaled Zhang Yuanqing not to speak with her eyes.
Leave it to her.
"Buy it or not." The stall owner was very stubborn.
"There are plenty of materials here. We can look at another stall." Guan Ya snorted coldly.
"Whatever." The stall owner shrugged.
Guan Ya frowned immediately. To be honest, she was not good at bargaining. As a young lady, she never considered the price when buying things, only whether she liked them.
Now that the stall owner was so stubborn, she didn't know how to bargain for a while.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly handed over a business card, saying:
"Buddy, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Tai. I'm an official Wayfarer from the Second Team of Kangyang District."
Official Wayfarer? The stall owner's expression immediately straightened, putting away his casual attitude and taking the business card with both hands.
"Don't be nervous. Just making friends. Buddy, your tool fragment is a bit expensive..."
"Brother Wang, you get what you pay for." Half an hour later, Zhang Yuanqing bought the nautical compass for a price of 100,000. Because he didn't want to be noticed by Bai Long and Quan Wang, he and Guan Ya left the black market.
In the elevator, Guan Ya looked strange and said:
"You're quite good at bargaining."
"I don't bargain. I just know how to make friends." Zhang Yuanqing shrugged and said, "By the way, I'll pay you back later."
It is worth mentioning that in black market transactions, there are two ways: "chips" and "cash."
The former is similar to a casino, where cash is exchanged for chips, and after the transaction is completed, the chips are exchanged for cash with the forces that opened the black market.
This method is mostly used by those who trust the organizer but not the buyer.
Cash transactions are the opposite.
Zhang Yuanqing used chip transactions, but Guan Ya exchanged money for chips. He excused himself for not bringing a bank card.
"Let's go. Let me treat you to a meal. I've already booked a restaurant. Which hotel does Sister Guan Ya like to stay in? I'll book it for you as well."
Back at home, it was 10:30 PM. Grandma and Grandpa were already resting, and Jiang Yuer neither came to his room to play games.
Zhang Yuanqing sat at his desk, logged into the official database, and queried the "Void" profession.
[Void Profession: This profession, in the Transcendence stage, is good at stealing, sneaking, and has amazing speed, but is not good at combat.] His authority could only find information on the Transcendence stage.
"Looks pretty good. If the little silly has agile speed, it can form an assassin alliance with me. Well, the compass may not be in the Transcendence stage. What if it is in the Saint stage? That would be a big win. I don't know what abilities the Void profession has in the Saint stage..."
Zhang Yuanqing looked forward to it.
"Huh?"
He was suddenly stunned and muttered to himself, "Stealing, exchanging..." Zhang Yuanqing understood why the little silly would choose this compass, because the infant spirit's skill was exchanging, and exchanging and stealing had some degree of similarity.
"Speaking of which, why is the little silly's skill exchanging? Does the Musician profession have this ability?"
Zhang Yuanqing immediately dialed Wang Qian's phone.
The call was quickly connected, and Wang Qian's voice was respectful:
"What are your orders?"
Since Zhang Yuanqing rescued Wang Qian, Wang Qian's attitude towards him had undergone a huge change.
"When you rescued your nephew, what tools did you apply for from the organization?"
Wang Qian didn't know why he brought up the past and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I can't disclose the organization's tool information."
"Then let me ask you, does the Musician profession have abilities such as stealing, exchanging, and transferring in the Saint stage or even the Dominator stage?"
"I don't know about the Dominator stage, but the Saint stage and Transcendence stage don't have such abilities." Wang Qian answered truthfully.
"Thank you."
Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone, his brows deeply furrowed.
The little silly, who became a spirit servant under the influence of the Musician tool, awakened abilities that did not belong to the Musician profession?
"Not the Musician profession, but rather like the stealing ability of the Void profession, strange..."
He thought for a long time, but he was destined not to find an answer.
Hotel.
Xiahou Xin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the prosperous night scene with no expression, listening to his phone.
After the person on the phone finished speaking, he said in a deep voice:
"What is Elder Gou's attitude?"
"Elder Gou has been focusing all his energy on searching for Black Impermanence recently. It is estimated that the punishment for Tianyuan will be temporarily put on hold. But I think it is not necessary for the Xiahou family to operate. The evidence given by Fu Qingyang is sufficient, and the matter has become a big deal. So many official Wayfarers are watching."
Xiahou Xin "Hmm"ed, and asked without expression:
"I heard that the Five Elements Alliance will advance the general physical examination?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and said:
"This physical examination is different from the past. Elder Gou applied for the Tiger Amulet from above..."
Xiahou Xin said in a deep voice: "Do you have any confidence?"
"Heh, who dares to say they have confidence in front of rule-type tools?" The voice on the phone was not urgent, and said with a smile:
"I have already reported this matter. If we can't solve the problem, we can solve the person who caused the problem. By the way, don't touch that Yuanshi Tianzun for the time being. Wait until the storm passes."
Xiahou Xin said indifferently: "When the Lord of the Zhisha Palace is solved, and when the leader completes his affairs in Songhai, I will cut that kid into pieces."
The colder his tone, the more intense his anger.
It wasn't that Xiahou Xin had never encountered opponents, but they were all of the same level. It was the first time he had suffered heavy losses from being bitten by a small ant.
《Qing Hu Sword Immortal》
"The Lord of the Zhisha Palace won't last long. The leader is secretly looking for her."
"That's good."
At 12:00 midnight, Zhang Yuanqing, who was sound asleep, woke up, full of energy. He left the bedroom, went into the kitchen, and took out a bowl.
Then, he took out the Demon Subduing Pestle from the item bar, cut his wrist, and let the blood rich in lunar power flow into the bowl. Soon, he collected half a bowl of blood.
To engrave a spiritual seal, you must use the blood of the Night Wanderer, otherwise, the drawn formation will only have its shape and not its divinity.
At 12:00 midnight, when the yin energy is at its heaviest, it is also the time when the lunar power in the Night Wanderer's body is at its strongest.
Zhang Yuanqing dipped his finger in the blood and drew twisted runes on the floor of the bedroom. Some of these runes were shaped like tadpoles, some were circles, some were triangles, and some were similar to traditional characters. There were many types.
But when they were combined together, they gave people a sense of wholeness.
Soon, a circular formation composed of twisted runes appeared on the floor of the bedroom.
When Zhang Yuanqing finished drawing the last stroke, the formation took shape. Each rune's aura was connected, emitting a bright blood light... Zhang Yuanqing looked tired, but looked at the energy surging formation and felt a burst of joy.
Engraving such a large spiritual seal formation is a huge drain on the Night Wanderer.
The feeling of fatigue is equivalent to experiencing a big battle.
Without delay, he took out the ancient nautical compass and placed it in the center of the formation, then exhaled a mouthful of lunar power and spat out the little silly.
"Go in!"
Zhang Yuanqing sent him instructions.
The little silly waved its limbs and crawled towards the formation.
As the infant spirit entered the formation, the blood light surged like water waves. Then, the rich blood light contracted towards the inside of the formation, wrapping the infant spirit and the ancient compass.
Very comfortable. The little silly conveyed a similar feeling to its master.
At this time, the blood light that wrapped the compass left this tool and slowly floated in the air. In the blood light, there was a unique spirituality.
Zhang Yuanqing stared at the compass for a while, feeling that something seemed to be missing from this tool fragment, but he couldn't say what it was. He didn't think much about it, because at this time, the floating blood light crashed into the little silly's body.
It hurts, it hurts. The little silly conveyed a "painful" feeling to its master. Bathing in the blood light, it rolled on the ground and cried, enduring the pain that it shouldn't have had at its age.
This process lasted about ten minutes, and the blood light slowly merged into the infant spirit's body.
The little silly lay weakly on the ground, sticking up its little butt, looking like it had been drained.
It's over. What abilities did it gain? Zhang Yuanqing couldn't wait to calm his mind and enter the spirit servant. Soon, he clearly controlled and understood the little silly's changes.
These changes have three aspects: First, the little silly's initial skill, "Exchange", has been shortened. It now takes two seconds to exchange instead of three seconds of contact. And the exchange time has changed from three seconds to five seconds.
Second, the little silly's lunar power has become more profound, bringing about changes such as increased intelligence and becoming more intelligent; it can initially affect reality and move lighter objects.
Third, new skill: Treasure Hunting.
It has the talent to find treasures and has an innate sense for valuable and spiritual things.
"Treasure Hunting? Is the transcendent power contained in the compass Treasure Hunting? Oh, no wonder Void is also called Merchant in foreign countries." Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed.
Although he said he was going to fight for his father, Zhang Yuanqing knew very well that the little silly was just a low-level spirit servant. Even if it gained a killing skill, it would be at the Transcendent stage.
It was impossible to reach the Saint level, and in the Transcendent stage, Zhang Yuanqing considered himself a strong player. With so many tools, he didn't lack offensive methods.
And the ability to Treasure Hunt is too great. For example, finding treasures in instances.
The higher the difficulty of the instance, the fewer the hints, and the more the Spirit Realm Wayfarer needs to explore on their own. The little silly's Treasure Hunting ability can definitely shine in the instance.
Zhang Yuanqing left the room. A few seconds later, he returned with a mop and wiped the blood stains on the floor clean.
Then, he took back the little silly to nurture in his body. Already exhausted, he shrank into the quilt.
Before falling asleep, he habitually made plans, sorted out his thoughts, and considered what he would do next.
"The focus next is to search for Black Impermanence and deal with the general physical examination. The physical examination is mainly aimed at the Fallen. I'm not one of them, so there shouldn't be a big problem. I hope this physical examination can find the people of the Night Rose, so that the operation to search for Black Impermanence can continue.
"The past few days, the servants of the Weird Eye Judge in various places have gone crazy, causing no small impact. Fortunately, there shouldn't be many servants controlled by the Fallen Holy Grail in the Songhai area."
His thoughts became more and more sluggish, and he soon fell into a dream.
The next morning, Zhang Yuanqing was awakened by a series of "Aba Aba" sounds. Opening his eyes, he saw the little silly lying on the edge of the pillow, wearing a white lace bra on its head, looking at him with a face full of credit.
Where did the women's underwear come from? Underwear?!
Zhang Yuanqing instantly woke up, suddenly got up, stared at the white lace bra for a moment, and his expression became horrified.
This is his aunt's underwear.
"You, why did you steal my aunt's underwear?!" Zhang Yuanqing lowered his voice and questioned.
"Aba Aba"
The little silly was wearing a bra on its head, looking at him with its dark eyes, and there was a hint of smugness in its eyes, as if saying: Praise me!
After the upgrade, its micro-expressions became more and more vivid.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at his aunt's bra and fell into deep thought.
Why does it think my aunt's bra is a treasure? Is there something wrong with the Treasure Hunting skill, or is there something wrong with my education?
Is this account ruined? Should I create a new one?
"Knock knock!"
A knock on the door sounded, and Grandma called from outside the door: "Yuanzi, get up."
"Got it!" Zhang Yuanqing frantically stuffed his aunt's underwear into the quilt.
At the dining table, the family was eating breakfast. Jiang Yu took a sip of porridge, looked at her mother, and said worriedly:
"Mom, have you seen my clean underwear? The one in the bamboo basket in the bathroom."
"I haven't seen it."
"But I can't find it. Can you help me find it? I haven't washed it yet."
"Okay, okay, don't say these things while eating. You're always throwing things around." Grandma said disdainfully.
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head guiltily and drank porridge.
To respond to the call of the Section Chief Teng Yuan, Zhang Yuanqing felt that he had to skip work for half a day, otherwise he would be sorry for such an enlightened leader.
It just so happened that there was a professional class in the morning.
Going to school is a hassle. For me, studying is completely meaningless, but if I skip too many classes, I will be persuaded to drop out, and it will be difficult to explain to my family... Zhang Yuanqing suddenly envied adults who have entered society.
As soon as a class ended, he received a call from Fu Qingyang.
"Centurion Fu?"
Zhang Yuanqing was a little surprised.
"Are you not at the unit?" Fu Qingyang's cold noise came.
"Is there anything wrong?" Zhang Yuanqing said as he got up and left the classroom.
"The team transporting the Tiger Amulet had an accident on the way and was ambushed, causing heavy casualties. The elder leading the team went to hunt down the enemy. The remaining members did not dare to act alone and planned to return to their original path. The general physical examination will be postponed." There was a hint of heaviness in Fu Qingyang's voice.
Tiger Amulet? What Tiger Amulet? Zhang Yuanqing didn't react.
Fu Qingyang continued:
"The Tiger Amulet is a rule-type tool. It can help us find the members of the Night Rose organization lurking in the branch." Fu Qingyang said:
"The leader of the Night Rose wants to contact Black Impermanence and needs members lurking in the Five Elements Alliance to pass on information. At this time, the general physical examination is the biggest threat to him. I suspect they are hindering the general physical examination."
Zhang Yuanqing's tone became solemn: "Then what are you going to do?"
If he remembered correctly, Fu Qingyang originally planned to screen a group of "spies" through the general physical examination first.
Fu Qingyang said indifferently: "Adjust the plan, kill Xiahou Tianyuan, and let you ask the spirit."
Although he had a lie detection tool, distinguishing lies and making the target tell the truth were two different things.
"Are you going to take action against the Xiahou family?" Zhang Yuanqing was shocked.
"Yes, I have asked the elder, and the elder agreed."
"Okay, I'll come over immediately."
