Chapter 7

In the entire tavern, people were as silent as sparrows.

Their faces were complex and vivid.

The three people from the Hidden Blue Manor were completely unaware and continued to admire the "Blood Jade Cups" in their hands. After a while, the leading Two-Star Warrior patted Tang Zheng's shoulder, his eyes somewhat hazy, and said, "Good brother! If you have any trouble in Wulong Town in the future, just mention my name!"

"That's great, what should I call you, Big Brother?" Tang Zheng squinted and smiled.

"Hidden Blue Manor, Two-Star Warrior, Lan Quan." The Two-Star Warrior clearly wasn't the first time to announce the name of Hidden Blue Manor and his own strength level.

However, for some reason, he felt particularly comfortable today when he said it.

It felt especially refreshing, a kind of pleasure he had never experienced before...

"I'll thank you in advance!" Tang Zheng pretended to cover his hand and lowered his voice again, "By the way, don't show off your wealth, Big Brother, shouldn't you..."

"You're right, brother, let's take our leave!" The warrior named Lan Quan immediately put the teacup with a broken corner in his pocket and tugged at the servant beside him, "Let's go! Let's go!"

When the three of them left, they were still holding the place where they had put the teacup, walking very carefully, afraid of breaking the things in their pockets...

Thus, the gazes of everyone in the tavern became very curious.

As Lan Quan passed by, he subconsciously clutched his pocket tighter, "What are you looking at?"

All the onlookers immediately lowered their heads.

After they left, Tang Zheng hurriedly returned to the table, picked up his bag, and pulled Tian Meng with his left hand, "Let's go! Hurry up!"

Tian Meng's mind was still a mess. He was still thinking about why the broken teacup had turned into a Blood Jade Cup and why he saw moonlight in broad daylight, when he was dragged out of the tavern door by Tang Zheng.

...

The two of them ran out of the tavern and kept running.

Until they turned left and right and finally entered a small alley, Tang Zheng's pace finally slowed down.

Tian Meng, who was not a martial artist, was already dizzy from running so fast, "What... what did you do to those three people? Could it be that you... practiced the Heavenly Mechanism Transformation Technique?"

"Heavenly Mechanism Transformation Technique?" Tang Zheng blinked, "What the hell is that..."

"No, that's not right," Tian Meng negated himself, "The Heavenly Mechanism Transformation Technique requires three consecutive life palaces, with the main star being the Heavenly Mechanism Star, and you need to be at least a Three-Star Warrior, but you don't even have one star..."

Achieving three stars in a row is extremely difficult!

The difficulty of drawing the same main star for two adjacent life palaces doubles, let alone three consecutive life palaces with the same main star.

As for seven stars shining together or nine stars in a row... those are just legendary star-drawing methods.

And the common saying for challenging legends is, "Looking for death!"

Even challenging three stars in a row usually requires a relatively mild main star, such as the Heavenly Mechanism Star, Heavenly Mansion Star, Heavenly Phase Star, Heavenly Beam Star, or Heavenly Concord Star. If you insist on using a malevolent star like the Seven-Killing Star, Greedy Wolf Star,廉贞 Star, or Breaking Army Star to challenge three stars in a row...

Those two words again, "Looking for death!"

"The powder you used should be the Intoxicated Gold Powder, right?" A childish voice suddenly came from above their heads.

"Ah? Who are you..." Tian Meng looked up and saw the grandfather and grandson who were previously in the small tavern jump down from a three-story roof.

"You guys are really bold, using Intoxicated Gold Powder in public." The child approached Tang Zheng, his eyes full of interest, looking up at Tang Zheng's face.

"Adults are talking, little boy, don't interrupt." Tang Zheng patted the child's head.

"You... You..." The child, like a frightened cat, suddenly jumped back, "Do you... know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!"

"I don't know, but didn't your elders teach you to say thank you after someone helps you out?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.

"Hmph!" The child pouted, "I... I didn't need your help."

"If you didn't need it, you don't have to say thank you?"

"Hmph, it's clearly your fault that I couldn't fight!" The child turned his head, his face full of awkwardness.

While saying this, the child raised his head and sneaked a peek at Tang Zheng's hand with the corner of his eye.

Strange, it was just a normal hand.

But how did he not notice before Tang Zheng patted his head?

Tian Meng's mind was completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of these two. He was still thinking about the first thing the child said, about the Intoxicated Gold Powder...

Could it be that the thing Tang Zheng took out of his bag, which he didn't see clearly, was the Intoxicated Gold Powder?

"Intoxicated Gold Powder... Star Identification Disk..." Tian Meng used a lot of brain cells to finally connect everything.

The runes on the Star Identification Disk were all carved with purple gold, which was very expensive. No wonder the three people holding the Star Identification Disk looked so pleased and intoxicated after coming into contact with the Intoxicated Gold Powder.

As for how pleasant and enjoyable the hallucination was...

Tian Meng subconsciously glanced at Tang Zheng—only Tang Zheng, who had experienced it firsthand, would know.

And the reason Tang Zheng pulled them to a nearby empty table wasn't for those broken teacups, but because if they were too close to the flower king in his bag, the Intoxicated Gold Powder would be almost ineffective!

As for the "Blood Jade Cups," it was purely because there happened to be a few broken cups nearby. Otherwise, they would have become "Blood Jade Bowls," "Blood Jade Chopsticks," or "Blood Jade Trash Cans."

"Tang brother, I... I was rash." Tian Meng recalled his series of actions and felt a bit embarrassed.

"You're not rash, just inexperienced," Tang Zheng said, pointing at the child, "Just like this one."

"Who are you talking about!" A skeleton star pattern suddenly rose behind the child!

Two bright stars were clearly lit above the skeleton's feet.

Tian Meng's eyelids twitched, "Two stars... Blood Sea Corpse King..."

The old man, who had been silent, chuckled and lightly pressed the child's shoulder with his withered hand, "Alright, Azhi. You are indeed inexperienced..."

"Hmph!" Azhi's star pattern was reluctantly pressed down.

"By the way, why were you two following us?" Tang Zheng didn't look at Azhi but turned to the old man, staring at his face with a smile.

Although the old man's face didn't change, being scanned by Tang Zheng felt like being pierced by a master of the Heavenly Eye Technique, straight to the soul.

"I wasn't following you, but him." The old man pointed at Tian Meng.

"Ah?" Tian Meng was stunned, "Me... me?"

"What's your surname?" The old man's gaze remained on Tian Meng, "I saw you wearing a jade pendant of the Tian Qin Family."

Tian Meng quickly took two steps back, "Junior... is a descendant of the Tian family of the Frostless Blade."

The old man's face showed no surprise, but his eyes drifted far away, "The Tian family... the Tian family from the Tulun Pass battle?"

"..." Tian Meng lowered his head and nodded slightly.

"Did you just have a star burst?" The old man examined Tian Meng.

"Uh, yes..."

"Surviving a star burst is a great fortune. However, if you don't receive treatment from the Heavenly Doctor Valley within three days, your meridians will be severed inch by inch over the next ten years, and you will gradually die."

Tian Meng thought he had saved his life, but hearing this, his face turned pale again.

Dying slowly over ten years?

He might as well have died directly during the star burst!

"Did you... come to warn me, sir?" Tian Meng asked.

"I just found you two interesting, and you happen to be a descendant of the Tian family..." The old man waved his long sleeves and smiled, "Ah, young people, so passionate... a star burst is no joke!"

"In a crisis, I had no choice." Tian Meng subconsciously explained.

"I understand, who hasn't been young?" The old man's smile was a bit沧桑 (weathered), "Go, treat your injuries as soon as possible. The earlier you get treated, the fewer aftereffects you'll have..."

"But... the Heavenly Doctor Valley is in the territory of the Qian Tang Family, and it would take at least three days to cross the entire territory of the Tian Qin Family..." Tian Meng's breathing became heavy, his face ashen.

"You have a bit of destiny, child," the old man smiled and looked west, "The young valley master of the Heavenly Doctor Valley, Xiao Tanzhi, is currently in the expeditionary army at Tulun Pass."

"Ah..." Tian Meng's emotions fluctuated greatly.

"How far is Tulun Pass?" Tang Zheng interjected.

"Two days and two nights on horseback."

"Then hurry up and find a horse!" Tang Zheng urged.

"But... I promised to teach at Tang Family Fort..."

"..." Tang Zheng was speechless at Tian Meng's fussiness.

In a matter of life and death, this scholar was still fussing.

This was the stubbornness and inflexibility of a scholar.

But it was also their integrity and the value of a promise!

"Why don't you write a letter and have this young brother take it to Tang Family Fort?" The old man suggested a compromise.

"Good idea." Tang Zheng decided for Tian Meng, "Where's the paper and pen you bought?"

Tian Meng mechanically put down his bag, took out the paper and pen, and crouched down to write a letter.

Because he wrote in a hurry, he was already covered in dust when he stood up.

Tian Meng then unfastened the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Tang Zheng, "The... token!"

Tang Zheng put the letter and jade pendant in his pocket, looked at Tian Meng, and patted his shoulder, "Stay alive!"

"Uh..." Tian Meng's eyes welled up again.

"Mainly, I don't want the first person to remember my name to die so easily."

"Cough..."

"Go!" Tang Zheng watched Tian Meng turn back frequently as he walked away, and he laughed, waving and shouting, "Don't worry about not having friends on the road ahead, the world... who... doesn't know you!"

Tian Meng paused.

Don't worry about not having friends on the road ahead, the world who doesn't know you...

He looked back at Tang Zheng deeply.

Then, he clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

After his figure disappeared, Tang Zheng scratched his head, "Oops, where is Tang Family Fort?"

Azhi, who was still savoring "Don't worry about not having friends on the road ahead," almost fell over when he heard this.
