Chapter 114: Chapter 109 Seven-Star Sword Heart

The intimate behavior between Gao Xuan and Bai Yutang caught the attention of Jiang Xuejun.

Jiang Xuejun’s face obviously darkened a bit, how could Gao Xuan be so careless!

Even more irritating was that Bai Yutang was also whispering intimately with Gao Xuan. The two behaved naturally, without any hesitation.

Qingyi Fei Niao glanced secretly but didn’t dare to speak. She had a bad feeling about Bai Yutang, but felt embarrassed to say anything.

Yun Qingshang, on the other hand, was completely nonchalant.

This only made Jiang Xuejun more upset; she had no right to control Bai Yutang, nor could she control Gao Xuan.

Because of her father, she felt especially embarrassed.

Bai Yutang noticed Jiang Xuejun’s reaction but didn’t care. She was fishing for Jiang Haoran because she saw potential in him.

However, Jiang Haoran was not worth too much investment at the moment. She wasn’t afraid of Jiang Xuejun tattling either.

With Jiang Haoran’s temper, he’d likely scold Jiang Xuejun if he heard about it.

Bai Yutang was more interested in Gao Xuan. Honestly, she was surprised that Gao Xuan would ask her to help buy the Seven-Star Treasure Pearl.

The starting bid for the Seven-Star Treasure Pearl was twenty million; regardless of its use, it looked nice at least. Very mysterious. It wouldn’t be surprising if the price doubled.

This was actually the first time she’d met Gao Xuan, and they had only known each other for a few hours, strictly speaking.

No normal person would borrow tens of millions from someone they had just met a few hours ago.

Gao Xuan himself had no money and was currently staying with Xu Yin. His only valuable possession was his sports car. What would he use to pay back the tens of millions?

In this regard, it matched his origins–a wild boy, inherently rebellious. He didn’t have a clear concept of money.

If it were anyone else, even if Bai Yutang wanted to lend such an amount, she would pretend to hesitate and repeatedly probe to confirm.

She dared not test Gao Xuan, fearing that if she showed any sign of refusal, Gao Xuan wouldn’t borrow it.

Bai Yutang had always found this young man hard to read.

Bai Yutang pondered briefly before agreeing cheerfully, “Sure, I’ll help you buy it.”

“Sister Tang truly differs from ordinary folks, so straightforward.”

Gao Xuan said confidently, “Don’t worry, Sister Tang, I won’t let you work for nothing.”

Bai Yutang laughed inwardly; she liked Gao Xuan’s youthful ignorance and arrogance.

Having lent her so much money, it was only natural for Gao Xuan to do something for her.

“Thirty million, thirty-one million… forty-eight million once, forty-eight million twice, forty-eight million three times!”

The auctioneer tapped the gavel lightly, “Congratulations to President Bai on acquiring the Seven-Star Treasure Pearl.”

Everyone present basically knew each other; there was no need for the auctioneer to say anything. They all knew Bai Yutang wanted to buy the Seven-Star Treasure Pearl.

No one would be tactless enough to oppose Bai Yutang. Those interested participated for a few rounds before giving up.

After all, no one knew what this thing was for–treating it as a slightly special piece of jewelry made sense.

Though the millions were exorbitant, it was nothing to Bai Yutang. It’s perfectly reasonable for a woman to like beautiful jewelry.

Jiang Xuejun, however, looked skeptical. She thought Bai Yutang’s purchase of the Seven-Star Treasure Pearl was related to Gao Xuan.

But Gao Xuan and Bai Yutang had just met; could he be that shameless?

As the auction ended, the group headed to their cars to go home.

Jiang Xuejun saw clearly Bai Yutang handing the Seven-Star Treasure Pearl to Gao Xuan.

She felt particularly bitter, fearing her father might be getting cuckolded.

On the other hand, she was a bit disappointed in Gao Xuan. He could flirt, but why with someone like Bai Yutang, an older woman?

It would be better if he were to pursue Qingyi Fei Niao.

In theory, she seemed like she should sever ties with Gao Xuan, but Gao Xuan treated her quite well. She couldn’t bear to cut ties.

Besides, Gao Xuan and Bai Yutang seemed not to be in that kind of relationship. Even if they were, it would be a good thing if it meant her dad could stay away from Bai Yutang.

With that thought, Jiang Xuejun felt she could accept it. It wouldn’t affect her friendship with Gao Xuan.

Jiang Xuejun left with extremely complex emotions.

Gao Xuan took Yun Qingshang and Qingyi Fei Niao into the car to take her home first as she had no car.

Yan Gui Sword Hall was also in a prime location, very prestigious. The Sword Hall itself was impressive.

Regardless of how much the Sword Hall earned, merely occupying such land was valuable.

Gao Xuan stopped at the Sword Hall’s entrance and teased, “Who would’ve thought, Little Bird, you’re a rich family’s daughter. You’ll need to treat us more from now on.”

Qingyi Fei Niao’s round face blushed slightly. After getting out, she bowed deeply to Gao Xuan, “Thank you, Gao Monarch, for bringing me home.”

She softly added, “My father is wealthy, but I’m quite poor.”

“Hahaha…”

Gao Xuan laughed heartily and waved his hand, “No need to worry, with rich friends like us, you won’t have to pay.”

Mentioning this, Qingyi Fei Niao couldn’t help but say, “Gao Monarch, I feel President Bai is very mature, unlike us.”

Qingyi Fei Niao felt embarrassed to speak ill of Bai Yutang; she had no proof. Yet, her intuition told her Bai Yutang wasn’t a good person.

“I understand what you mean.”

Gao Xuan reached out and gently patted Qingyi Fei Niao’s forehead, “Focus on practicing your swordsmanship. Don’t overthink. See you, Little Bird.”

Without waiting for Qingyi Fei Niao to respond, Gao Xuan started the Flying Leopard sports car and sped away.

Qingyi Fei Niao watched the sports car’s cool taillights disappear before sighing softly. Her delicate round face now showed deep concern.

But she couldn’t persuade Gao Xuan, so worrying was pointless.

Clutching the Sword Box, she felt the restrained yet chilling aura of the two Sword Artifacts. Her heart gradually found peace.

Human relations are indeed too complicated for her; only the Sword Dao can bring her peace.

“As expected of the Yin Yang Sword Saint, truly formidable.”

As Gao Xuan drove, he sensed the change in Qingyi Fei Niao’s aura and couldn’t help but praise.

Only a teenage girl, yet as long as she holds the sword, she can abandon all other distractions and soon immerse herself in it.

This focus makes even him feel a bit ashamed.

Of course, Yun Qingshang is equally focused and pure. But she lacks the unparalleled Sword Dao talent of Qingyi Fei Niao.

As the level of power increases, focus and purity become less important. At least, they cannot play a decisive role.

Fortunately, fortunately, she was lucky. At the perfect time, she obtained this Seven-Star Sword Heart.

The Seven-Star Sword Heart is incredibly rare. In Gao Xuan’s past life over a century, he only saw one.

Gao Xuan had Wei Yue help buy some important resources, various obscure yet precious marvels, which included the Seven-Star Sword Heart.

He didn’t have high hopes, just utilized Wei Yue’s resources as much as possible.

Items like the Seven-Star Sword Heart are almost indistinguishable from ordinary gemstones. The only special aspect is that they have a slight reaction to Source Power. But in the vast cosmos, there are too many similar gemstones.

Even the most skilled experts cannot see the true purpose of the Seven-Star Sword Heart.

In fact, the Seven-Star Sword Heart is the fruit of the Seven-Star Vine Tree.

The Seven-Star Vine Tree is a powerful lifeform capable of surviving for billions of years. Even if a planet is destroyed, the Seven-Star Vine Tree can survive.

Every million years, the Seven-Star Vine Tree forms a fruit, which wanders the universe until it finds a suitable environment to take root and sprout.

This Seven-Star Fruit clearly did not encounter a suitable environment and became a human collectible.

The Seven-Star Fruit can be integrated into a Sword Artifact, becoming its core and bestowing it with spirituality.

Of course, this requires extremely special methods to achieve.

Gao Xuan found relevant records in the Book of All-Knowing, learning the usage of the Seven-Star Fruit.

For Gao Xuan, these were all useless pieces of knowledge brushed from the Book of All-Knowing. However, unexpectedly, in his rebirth, he had the chance to use this esoteric knowledge.

Although Qiqu Pavilion has many experts, including a Golden Powerhouse in residence.

A unique marvel like the Seven-Star Fruit is beyond the scope of human knowledge. Even a Golden Powerhouse can do nothing with it.

The Seven-Star Fruit can grant a Sword Artifact spirituality, allowing it to progress along with its master. With proper cultivation, it can elevate the Sword Artifact to the Golden Level.

The Sword Master can upgrade alongside the Sword Artifact, obtaining the powerful Golden Level power.

Thus, the preciousness of the Seven-Star Fruit is evident.

However, this growth power is only suitable for low-level cultivators. It has no effect on those beyond the Bronze level.

Yun Qingshang’s current situation is perfectly suited for the Seven-Star Fruit. She also happens to have a top-grade Po Jun Sword in hand.

Of course, Gao Xuan could also use the Seven-Star Fruit himself. But the Godslaying Sword is not compatible with other marvels, giving the Seven-Star Fruit to it would be a waste.

Gao Xuan also does not have the energy to cultivate other Sword Artifacts.

Most importantly, Yun Qingshang is his comrade, his most reliable brother. He is willing to give the Seven-Star Fruit to Yun Qingshang.

It has nothing to do with human destiny, nor is there any utilitarian purpose; it’s simply a wish for Yun Qingshang to be better. That’s all.

Upon returning to the villa, Gao Xuan took Yun Qingshang to the underground training room.

“Do you see these runes? Use your own blood to draw them on the Po Jun Sword, and then place this orb on it.”

Gao Xuan said, “Consider the orb as a seed, and the sword as the soil. During this process, you need to continuously input Source Power and Spirit to cultivate the seed’s growth, which will take several days to initially complete.”

Yun Qingshang trusts Gao Xuan unconditionally; she asks nothing and directly follows Gao Xuan’s instructions.

The runes drawn by Gao Xuan are extremely complex, not belonging to any human language. They are a manifestation of the Source Power Law.

This is also knowledge Gao Xuan acquired from the Book of All-Knowing.

The Book of All-Knowing is a powerful marvel; as long as you meet its conditions, you can obtain all the information you want to know.

An important premise is to first meet the Book of All-Knowing’s requirements. The more important the information you inquire about, the higher the demands of the Book of All-Knowing.

This is a directly proportional relationship.

For example, if someone asked the Book of All-Knowing for the real identity of the Seventh Sage, the Book of All-Knowing would conflict with the laws of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Godslaying Sword, and Celestial Dragon Eye, three top-grade powerful marvels.

The Book of All-Knowing might know the answer, but no one can afford the corresponding price to make it answer.

Gao Xuan had once inquired about the true identity of the Blood God President; the demands made by the Book of All-Knowing left him in despair.

Even so, the Book of All-Knowing remains one of the known most powerful marvels.

With Gao Xuan’s current abilities, he is not qualified to use the Book of All-Knowing, and he does not covet it.

The Book of All-Knowing is useful but does not play a decisive role. Using it often becomes addictive, causing considerable trouble.

The Seven-Star Fruit has spirituality and instinct but lacks wisdom. Therefore, it can be cultivated as the most reliable Sword Spirit, growing alongside its master.

Gao Xuan watched from the side, and after the Seven-Star Fruit integrated into the Po Jun Sword, he quietly left.

In the following days, Gao Xuan continued his regular streaming and would, when available, infuse Yun Qingshang with some Source Power.

(Morning’s first update, requesting subscriptions and monthly tickets~)

He also had Silver Source Power Crystals, which can be converted into the purest form of Source Power.

The Seven-Star Fruit continuously absorbs Source Power; without Gao Xuan’s support, Yun Qingshang would have been drained dry long ago.

This kind of training state greatly tempered Yun Qingshang’s control over Source Power.

On the seventh day, although the Seven-Star Fruit had not been completely refined, Yun Qingshang experienced Source Power fluctuations all over her body, opening six more Source Power nodes, reaching Level 10.

Gao Xuan sensed the change in Yun Qingshang’s aura and couldn’t help but slightly frown; upgrading at this time is not a good thing!
