Chapter 88

Yang Zhui asked Gu Chen to stay behind to fulfill his promise.

Hearing that the Merit Market had free secret manuals, the other three left in high spirits.

Only Qian Jue Granny glanced at Gu Chen before she left. She seemed to still be brooding over the fact that she was the first in the examination.

After everyone left, Yang Zhui looked at Qian Jue Granny and teased Gu Chen.

"You got my reward but offended that old witch. I wonder if you are lucky or unlucky."

"That would depend on whether senior's reward is good enough."

Gu Chen said calmly. He had seen Qian Jue Granny's expression and knew that there would be trouble in the future.

But now, he was more looking forward to the so-called reward.

Seeing that Gu Chen was not afraid, Yang Zhui felt that this kid was not ordinary.

"Can you tell me why you chose the black cauldron when everyone else was eyeing the most valuable items?"

Gu Chen's expression did not change. "Of course it's because I have good taste."

Yang Zhui smiled without saying a word. His instincts told him that this kid had ulterior motives, but he did not want to ask too much.

In the Celestial Court, everyone had their own secrets.

"What kind of reward do you want?" He asked.

"I can choose?" Gu Chen was quite surprised. "This is too generous."

"You can tell me anything. Of course, it has to be reasonable. Don't be greedy."

Gu Chen fell into deep thought.

This was good news. Yang Zhui was letting him choose. Yang Zhui was obviously trying to help the younger generation. Hence, he did not stand on ceremony.

Should he ask for secret manuals, elixirs or treasures?

Many thoughts flashed through Gu Chen's mind.

As for elixirs, he had just obtained a mystic low-grade Revival Elixir. Even if he could not use it, he could sell it for a lot of yellow-grade high-grade elixirs.

Coupled with the Huang Family's gifts, he did not lack elixirs.

In this case, secret manuals and treasures were the most practical.

"Senior, may I know what the three secret manuals in the Merit Market are like?"

Yang Zhui's eyes were filled with admiration. This kid was indeed meticulous.

"There are three secret manuals that all assassins of the Celestial Court would cultivate. They are the Guangxi Movement Technique, the Essence Sealing Technique, and the Tiangang Twenty-Seven Dispersing Technique. From their names, you should be able to figure out their specific uses. "

Gu Chen nodded and recalled the night when Huang Pingzhang launched a sneak attack on him.

Back then, his powerful movement technique must have been Guangxi's movement technique. The reason he was able to secretly spy on him without being discovered was because he had relied on the Essence Locking Technique.

These two secret manuals were essential for assassins. They were similar to the Netherworld Body Movement Technique and Breath Control Technique of the Nether God Palace. They were a major characteristic of the assassins of the Celestial Court.

As for the Big Dipper Twenty-Seven Dispersing Hands, it sounded like a martial technique.

In that case, after obtaining the three secret manuals, there was no need for more secret manuals for the time being.

Moreover, no matter how good the secret manual that Yang Zhui could take out, could it be better than the Thirty-Three Levels of Heaven Secret Technique?

After careful consideration, Gu Chen decided to ask for a magic treasure, a defensive type magic treasure.

He had just offended the Thousand Despair Granny who was at Transcendent Realm, so it would be best to ask for a good magic treasure to defend himself.

He stated his needs.

"You want a defensive magic treasure? This is quite practical. "

Yang Zhui said with a smile. After thinking for a moment, he flipped his hand and took out a silver-white bracelet with an earthen-yellow crystal embedded on it.

"This is the Dust Shield Bracelet. I obtained it by chance when I was doing a mission. It is considered a rare premium among the yellow magic treasures. I will give it to you."

"This bracelet can be controlled with divine sense. It can mobilize the earth elemental energy within a hundred feet to form a shield. It is very flexible."

"If you use it well, you might be able to block a strike from a grand cultivator. You should study it yourself."

He handed the Dust Shield Bracelet to Gu Chen. Gu Chen took it happily and couldn't bear to part with it.

"There are two Heavenly Gates in the Mystic Realm that lead to the outside world. That Thousand Despair might block you at the entrance. It is best for you to enter from the other entrance."

Before Gu Chen left, he kindly reminded him.

"Thank you senior, junior understands."

Gu Chen said gratefully and then headed towards the Merit Lane.

Watching him leave, Yang Zhui thought to himself. "What a pity."

"What's a pity?"

Another killer wearing a golden mask appeared out of nowhere and came to Yang Zhui's side. He put his arm around Yang Zhui's shoulder and said intimately.

"Brother, you are in charge of the assessment today. Have you found anyone worthy of being recommended to the Heaven Palace?"

It was a female voice. She was Yang Zhui's biological sister, Yang Zhen.

"I found a young lady. She is only twelve years old, but her cultivation has already reached Transcendent Realm Middle Stage. Although she has not been tested yet, there is an 35% chance that she has a special constitution. "

Yang Zhui replied and looked at his sister with a doting gaze.

"Huh? I was just asking casually. Are you really that lucky to find a jade in the rough? "

Yang Zhen was shocked. "She can pass the Celestial Court's assessment at the age of twelve. It seems that she is another Daoist candidate. How enviable."

"That's not right. Since the Heaven Palace has found such a talent, it should be something to be happy about. Brother, why did you say it's a pity?"

She asked in confusion.

"I'm not pitying her, but the other one," Yang Zhui explained.

"There's another one? Oh my god, how many people have you assessed this time? How can there be so many geniuses? "Yang Zhen was stunned.

The reason why the Celestial Court appointed high-level golden killers as examiners for the assassin assessment was to indirectly help the Heaven Palace select candidates with the potential to become Daoists.

However, the Celestial Court recruited so many assassins from all over the continent every year. The chances of finding suitable talents were very low.

Yang Zhui just happened to be an examiner for a small assessment and found two candidates with the potential to become Daoists. His luck was too amazing.

"How old is the other genius? How is her cultivation? Is she also a special constitution? "

Yang Zhen asked impatiently.

Yang Zhui hesitated for a moment before answering. "Sixteen years old. Her cultivation is in the middle stage of Divine Power. She should not be far from breaking through. As for special constitutions, according to him, she doesn't have any. "

Yang Zhen was disappointed when she heard this. "That sounds not bad. It's still far from the standard of a Daoist, right? Without a special constitution, unless one makes a special contribution to the Celestial Court, it is impossible to become a Daoist. "

"Brother, when you report to the Heaven Palace, just report that little girl. Don't report the other one. Otherwise, you will be blamed by the higher-ups."

Yang Zhen reminded.

"I know that. After all, the standard for selecting a Daoist is too strict. That's why I feel pity. That kid is smart, not impatient, not servile, far better than his peers. If he had a special constitution, he would really be a True Dragon. "

Yang Zhui said regretfully.

"Unfortunately, he is not. There are many ordinary talents in this world. They are destined to be green leaves and can only be used to set off the true geniuses. "

"Being born in the same era as the true geniuses is their greatest sorrow."

Yang Zhen retorted.
