Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1562 - 5: Star Shifting, Chronicle Dao, and Tomb Realm Biographies! (15,000) (Part 3)

"No wonder you stayed back then."

Zhao Xing's Giant Sun avatar is practically a nimble chubby fellow.

At the Origin stage, typically 20 times the speed of light is the limit, unless you're a prodigy like Du Yun who can continue to enhance, but each enhancement comes at a huge cost.

In the face of such speed and power, all the fancy stuff can be easily overturned.

"Do you want me to continue showing off?" Zhao Xing asked.

"That's enough, that's enough. Put away your divine skills." Jing Yan was green with envy.

This divine skill of Zhao Xing is definitely sufficient.

It just so happens that he is a Mechanical Master, forming a group with Zhao Xing's Giant Sun avatar greatly enhances his security.

Whoosh, Zhao Xing controlled the Giant Sun avatar to return to normal size, adjusting size at will is basic for the Giant Sun avatar.

"When do we leave?" Zhao Xing asked.

"At most a year," Jing Yan replied.

"Are you still looking to hire someone?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes." Jing Yan nodded. "But I just plan to hire two people; too many people make it hard to split the spoils."

"Do you have someone suitable?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Do you?" Jing Yan glanced at Zhao Xing. "Let's be clear, I don't want anyone from Great Zhou—this is serious business."

Great Zhou now also has several in the Second Realm, Liu Tianning and Xia Jing are both already in the Second Realm.

However, their combat power in the Second Realm is still somewhat weak; Jing Yan doesn't believe they can join him in an adventure.

"No, not from Great Zhou." Zhao Xing thought of Yu Tianqing. This venture carries risk and isn't something that can be joined with personal resources. He certainly wouldn't joke about Jing Yan and his own assets.

"He's a Mechanical Warrior in the Third Realm."

"How's his combat power? How do you know him?" Jing Yan asked two key questions.

"It's a long story, I'll call him over for you to see." Zhao Xing said.

"How long do we have to wait?"

"He can come right now."

...

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~"

The target star trembled ceaselessly as Yu Tianqing's silhouette returned to stand before Jing Yan and Zhao Xing.

His final combat power showed Yu Tianqing at 38125, based on multiples of First Realm's standard combat strength.

Typically, the standard for the Second Realm is 100 times that of the First Realm, and the Third Realm is 100 times that of the Second Realm.

The limit value is '85425', this is an explosive type move because Yu Tianqing also mastered a Small Divine Power.

"His combat tactics are decent, but his equipment is lacking." Jing Yan commented.

Yu Tianqing demonstrated a stable combat power that reached 3.8 times the standard of the Third Realm.

This is rather good; those top-tier fighters who can defeat ten or even a hundred peers of the same rank aren't common and definitely not easy to find.

An explosive move reaching close to over 80,000 is already quite impressive.

Additionally, Yu Tianqing's equipment isn't luxurious; he's earned a lot over the past few centuries but hasn't been willing to spend much.

Zhao Xing was also puzzled: "Brother, Hua Zi and Le Yao have earned quite a bit, but your equipment is still like this."

Jing Yan looked over too, noticing Yu Tianqing doesn't have any Taiyin Daoist Soldier gear. The exoskeleton he wears is merely top-grade Boundary Star level, which honestly, is a bit shabby for the Third Realm.

"I see little chance of entering Yueluo Cemetery again, so I haven't bought more expensive equipment." Yu Tianqing replied.

"Your 108 mechanical bones, what level are they?" Jing Yan asked.

"Top-grade Boundary Star Daoist Soldiers."

"Are they a complete set?"

"No, the leg bones are part of the Yulong set, the spine is 'Heaven Platinum', the upper body and hand bones are parts of the 'Yuan Li' set." Yu Tianqing explained.

Jing Yan looked somewhat bewildered at Zhao Xing: "Heaven Platinum, Yuan Li, Yulong... What brands are these, have you heard of them?"

Both he and Zhao Xing are wealthy and willing to spend, and dubious brands are generally ignored.

What Yu Tianqing mentioned, they had indeed never heard of.

Zhao Xing gave Jing Yan a look, signaling him to stop asking.

There's no need to ask further; the exoskeleton aside, the core mechanical war body still hasn't been assembled into a set of top-quality Boundary Star Dao Soldiers.

Yu Tianqing felt somewhat humbled by Jing Yan's questioning.

Zhao Xing now realized, Yu Tianqing actually has the money to exchange for a good set.

The reason he hasn't is primarily due to being deeply afraid of poverty.

In the past, having suffered and rotted in jail due to lack of money, such experiences have left Yu Tianqing with some psychological shadows.

Zhao Xing guessed that Yu Tianqing probably intended to save some money for the development of his hometown, the Pang Ze Dynasty.

He's quite similar to Liu Tianning, likely keeping a portion of the money for his family.

Continuing to ask would be impolite.

"Old Yu." Zhao Xing pulled Yu Tianqing aside to talk, "This task isn't easy. If you want to take it on, you'll need to change to a better set of equipment."

Yu Tianqing spoke softly: "I still have 2.9 billion Sea Coins, is that enough?"

Indeed, this brother now has only several hundred million Sea Coins left.

Zhao Xing didn't need to ask where the other money went.

It was either sent back home or where else?

"Zhao Xing, have I embarrassed you..." Yu Tianqing felt somewhat awkward.

"Don't say that." Zhao Xing waved his hand, "I'll loan you some, you don't need to worry about paying it back, nor about interest."

He didn't dare discuss money with Yu Tianqing further, as after cultivating Will Divine Power, he could already sense the fluctuations in Yu Tianqing's Daoist heart.

If they continue on this topic, he's afraid Yu Tianqing might suffer a Daoist heart collapse due to poverty.

Yu Tianqing nodded; this task might not yield much money, but he's willing to take it on because it carries clear benefits for his hometown dynasty.

The Pang Ze Dynasty is still hiding in a corner of a star system with low Spiritual Energy Index, barely surviving, so he certainly won't abandon the Star Fire mission.

"Alright, don't worry too much about other things." Zhao Xing patted Yu Tianqing on the shoulder, "Go with Jing Yan to purchase what you need, don't worry about how much money you spend, he's someone I trust and you can trust him too."
