After using the method Ying sent her, although the glowing plate behind her head disappeared, in its place, her entire body began to radiate light.
The brightest star wherever you go.
"Ahem, of course, a normal person would not become like this, so what exactly is going on?"
Jing Yuan didn't laugh anymore, but his expression was like that of a powerful king, as if he was about to burst out laughing.
"It's just a matter of strength. What I need now is something that is hard enough and made of superior material."
Bai Zhi didn't elaborate on the matter of the power of vows.
Jing Yuan didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has their own secrets, and asking too many questions is not the act of a smart person.
He thought for a while and said:
"Something hard enough and of superior material? If we're talking about what can be found on the Immortal Ship, then it's naturally this knife in my hand."
Jing Yuan summoned his array blade and gently stroked it: "This array blade is called Stonefire Dream Body. It was forged from the embers of the light arrow that the Emperor Bow Master used to destroy stars."
"I don't know what you need something so hard and made of such excellent material for, but if you need it, you can take this knife."
Jing Yuan generously handed the Stone Fire Dream Body to Bai Zhi.
"General, are you serious?"
Bai Zhi retorted, "This thing has been with you for hundreds of years. Aren't you going to regret giving it to me like this?"
Jing Yuan smiled and gently stroked the blade. "No, because I've always understood what's more important to do. Although this blade carries many of my memories, in the end, it's just a blade."
"If it can generate greater profits for you than I can, why not?"
"As long as you don't bury its reputation, it's fine."
"Well... thank you very much, General!"
Without saying a word, Bai Zhi grasped Shi Huo Meng Shen. Seeing this, Jing Yuan's eyes also flashed with a hint of reluctance.
But he still waved his hand and turned his head away.
"Take it with you, I have a lot of official business to attend to here."
"Just kidding, General. This is your weapon. How can I take what someone else loves? I'd better go find some other materials."
Bai Zhi laughed out loud, "General, the reluctance in your eyes is almost overflowing. You should take this knife instead."
Jing Yuan, who had turned his head away, turned back around.
"You really don't need it?"
"While the general's sword is indeed excellent, what I need is not so great that it would make you part with your weapon."
"Phew... thank goodness, I thought my beloved knife was really going to leave me."
Jing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gripped the Stone Fire Dream Body in his hand. He had been prepared to lose this weapon.
Now that I've gotten it back, I'm actually quite moved.
Jing Yuan thought for a moment and gave Bai Zhi a suggestion: "If you want some rare items, you can go find that fox-girl, I think her name is... Ting Yun, that's right, Ting Yun. She is the ferryman of the merchant group, and she may be more capable than me in this regard."
"Tingyun...that's fine too."
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Lady Baizhi, has something you need? I will do my utmost to help you."
Inside the Tianbo Company, Tingyun's emerald green eyes curved into a smile that instantly won people's favor.
No one could detect the thoughts hidden in those seemingly clear eyes.
"This little dragon smells so good."
She kept yearning for it; it had only been a short time since she last saw Bai Zhi, and she found that she seemed to be becoming more and more attractive.
This kind of energy and spirit is so strong, it's like it's about to burst forth, it's simply... the best material for forging a new body.
"Lady Baizhi is looking for something hard and of excellent quality? That's easy. The merchant group has a huge warehouse. Perhaps you can find something suitable there."
After Bai Zhi finished explaining her needs, Ting Yun enthusiastically pulled her towards a certain place.
Of course, she didn't directly attack Bai Zhi, but instead took Bai Zhi to the merchant group's warehouse.
She's no fool. Tingyun, the ferryman of the merchant group, has a position that's neither too high nor too low, just right, so she can play the role quite well.
But if it were a future dragon lord like Bai Zhi, she wouldn't know much about her.
So young, yet destined to be crowned Dragon Lord, and his condition clearly indicates many extraordinary qualities.
If she were to kidnap it, she might not be able to replicate it.
If Jing Yuan discovers the truth, then everything will be in vain.
She's not the kind of person who would ruin a big deal out of a small matter.
"But it's alright. Once I achieve that goal, little guy, you will also be an important component of my new body!"
While thinking this to herself, her outward expression remained warm as she pointed to a shelf and said, "These are the materials that the merchant group has collected from various planets. Please take a look and see if there's anything suitable."
"This is a Redwood Stone obtained from Redwood Star, filled with powerful fire energy. This is a Shadow Stone from Atcard Star; it has peculiar properties, becoming extremely hard in the shadows but incredibly soft in sunlight. This is..."
Tingyun pointed to the stones on the shelf and introduced them to Baizhi one by one.
Bai Zhi looked at the ores and frowned. "These things are all quite good, but they are probably far from meeting my requirements."
After all, these ores are objects that carry the power of wishes. Although they are magical, they can only be used to make some decent custom weapons at best.
Some of Yanqing's flying swords were made using these materials.
But this is far from enough.
An item capable of carrying the power of wishes must at least be similar to the general's weapon.
"Aren't you satisfied with any of these? No problem, Lady Baizhi. Besides these, there is something else that will definitely meet your requirements."
Tingyun showed no sign of anger, but patiently said, "I think you might want to try... a rare item."
"Hey, right, a rare item!!"
Only after Tingyun reminded her did Baizhi remember this.
In the Star Iron Universe, besides things like the Stonefire Dream Body, there are even more wondrous artifacts.
These things, imbued with various strange powers, are usually extremely difficult to destroy and can be used as tools to bear the weight of willpower.
214 The Day the Broken Sword Was Reforged
"However, if Lady Baizhi wishes to obtain rare items, I am afraid I cannot help you. But you can try asking at the Black Tower Space Station, which houses a large number of rare items."
Tingyun shrugged.
"That's enough. I'll go find the Black Tower Space Station. Thank you, Miss Tingyun. I hope we can cooperate again next time."
"Hehe, this humble woman always looks forward to Lady Baizhi's visit. I only hope that Lady Baizhi can lend me a hand sometimes~"
"Of course, you can tell me if you need any help."
"Then thank you in advance, Lady Baizhi."
Tingyun covered half her face with her fan, her tone coquettish.
That's exactly what she wanted to hear: if she used this favor at the right time, she could achieve even greater success.
"However, Lady Baizhi, aren't you about to be crowned Dragon Lord? Many people from the Immortal Ships and other forces are curious about you. Why don't you go out and meet them?"
"Or... have you discovered some amazing miracle drug?"
Bai Zhi glanced at Ting Yun thoughtfully.
Although it's still unclear whether this guy is Huanlong or not, it's worth a try.
"A miracle drug has indeed been developed. As for its effects, it can reverse aging."
Upon hearing this, Tingyun's eyes lit up. "Rejuvenation? This miraculous medicine, could it be made from Jianmu wood...? Ah, I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
"The ingredients of such a miraculous medicine cannot be guessed at will."
"Miss Tingyun seems to have a particular interest in the Jianmu tree."
Instead of explaining the ingredients, Bai Zhi changed the subject.
"Oh dear, to be honest, I am indeed somewhat interested. After all, on this immortal ship, although our fox-people have a longer lifespan than most non-human beings, our lifespan is still limited compared to the immortal ship's inhabitants and the Vidyadharas."
"It would be a lie to say I don't yearn for that immortality."
"However, Lady Baizhi, rest assured, I have no intention of committing such a heinous crime. I simply... wish to admire the magnificence of the Jianmu tree up close and see what this divine object that created the immortal ship looks like."
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. Through these words, she was certain that the Tingyun in front of her was Huanlong.
In the original storyline, Huanlong wanted to get close to Jianmu, rely on its divine power, and finally combine the power of destruction and abundance to create a new and powerful body.
But she didn't intend to alert the enemy.
Because Huanlong is a Commander, and a Destruction Commander at that, his power is extremely strong, and he is also good at infiltration and disguise, so he can probably escape very quickly.
After all, in the original storyline, she was able to survive and escape even after being beaten up by the God and a group of people, which shows that her escape skills are maxed out.
That makes sense. Anyone who can be a spy must have some escape skills.
So if her disguise is exposed now, and she's not careful, the other person might escape and then sneak in, pretending to be someone else, and she really won't be able to find them.
"We need to think of a way to kill her there, or at least give her a good beating."
"Lady Baizhi, do you have any thoughts? Why are you staring at me so intently? It's making me a little shy."
Tingyun felt a chill run down her spine. She sensed that Bai Zhi's eyes were strange and held a hidden murderous intent.
But then she shook her head. She must have been mistaken. She hadn't done anything wrong, so how could the other party have any murderous intent?
It must be because I'm in a state of infiltration that I'm a little nervous.
After all, this is a celestial vessel, completely different from those small planets of the past.
There are indeed envoy-level combatants here.
If you're not careful, you might not die in a rollover, but you're almost guaranteed to get injured.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something. I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Tingyun. I will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future."
Bai Zhi calmly suppressed her emotions and said with a smile.
"You're too kind. It's my duty. Since Lady Baizhi already has her own ideas, I won't bother you any longer."
Seeing the change in Bai Zhi's expression, Ting Yun confirmed his guess. Sure enough, he was a little nervous and had a hallucination.
It's impossible that a dragon so young could have discovered his true identity.
Even Jing Yuan, as the hunting envoy, couldn't see it, let alone this little dragon man.
"Yes, Miss Tingyun, see you next time."
After saying goodbye to Tingyun, Bai Zhi returned to the clinic, took out her phone, and found Heita's contact information.
Bai Zhi: [Miss Black Tower, are you there?]
Black Tower: [I am currently offline. Please leave a message if you need anything (automatic reply)]
Black Tower: [It's you, Little Dragon Man. What's up?]
Little Dragon Man?
Upon seeing this title, Bai Zhi's face darkened. What a terrible title!
Bai Zhi: [Miss Black Tower, um... do you sell gadgets on your space station? I'd like to buy a sturdy enough one to do some experiments.]
Black Tower: [My artifacts are all non-saleable, but if you want one, I can give you one. However, there's no such thing as a free lunch, you understand?]
Bai Zhi: [What does Miss Black Tower need me to do?]
Black Tower: [Little Dragon is quite clever. I heard from March 7th that you often go to other worlds, right? My request isn't high; just collect some interesting little gadgets for me when you go.]
"March 7th, that big mouth... really has no self-control."
