What gift?
Bao'er looked at the woman warily.
This woman is strong and dangerous.
She didn't want the other person to get close to His Highness, but she was powerless to stop it.
There is a height difference between the two.
So angry.
Bao'er really wanted to bite her neck off, just like hunting an antelope on the grassland.
Unfortunately, it's impossible.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace noticed the beastman's struggle and a smile appeared on his face.
Immediately, a huge astrolabe appeared in her hand.
The center of the astrolabe is not the sun, but the North Star.
The North Star remains unchanged, standing in the center, with other stars surrounding it.
She whispered to the child, "Child, have you ever believed in the stars?"
"I don't believe it."
"Child, have you ever looked up at the stars?"
Under the patient guidance of the Palace Master of Beichen Palace, Bao'er couldn't help but nod.
She once galloped across the grasslands.
At night, nestled in her mother's arms, she would occasionally gaze at the starry sky.
Even animals find those glittering stars beautiful.
"So what do you like?"
"I like speed, the faster the better."
"Do you know which star in the cosmos symbolizes speed?"
No, I don't know.
"It is Venus, the guardian of all stars, and is known for its speed."
"How do you like it?"
Bao'er nodded vigorously: "I like it!"
She too will be like Venus, protecting the lord of all stars.
"Then let us accept the blessing of Venus."
As soon as the Palace Master of Beichen finished speaking, Venus in the sky suddenly shone brightly.
A series of dazzling starlight converged to form the Big Dipper constellation, then condensed into a golden five-pointed star, which struck Bao'er's forehead.
It's so hot!
The cool starlight seemed incredibly hot at this moment, as if it were leaving an indelible mark.
Despite not being a believer in the stars, she was able to have a special mark engraved on her with the help of the Palace Master of Beichen.
Bao'er's ears stood up, and its tail was held straight up.
She felt an endless surge of power flowing into her body.
Hurry up, run even faster.
Bao'er's heart pounded harder and harder, and finally she let out a long breath.
Venus mark.
Even if it's not a stigmata, it can still be considered a blessing.
The aura of the Palace Master of Beichen Palace immediately weakened considerably.
Grandmasters are not gods.
She can use blessings to create things similar to stigmata, but it requires using her source.
"Why did you do this?"
Bao'er's expression was somewhat complicated.
This blessing is very powerful.
She could feel that her speed would be much faster and her endurance would be better.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace smiled and said, "It's not for you."
"You must protect the son of man, and not let anyone take his life."
"His Highness the Imperial Grandson is too weak and has become a believer in gods, so he is not suitable for receiving blessings."
"And you are just right."
Bao'er gritted her teeth: "I will do it."
"I will protect Your Highness!"
She gradually bid farewell to her carefree past and longed to become stronger.
Seeing this, the Palace Master of Beichen Palace smiled and said, "Very good, then I'll send you one more thing."
"I hope you can use it as soon as possible."
Before Bao'er could react, she saw the Palace Master of Beichen Palace take out a piece of jade and hand it to her.
This piece of jade is none other than Gangyu (罡玉).
The core resources needed for a martial artist to advance to the Grandmaster level.
It's not particularly precious, but it's a treasure that ordinary wandering cultivators in the martial arts world dream of.
To advance from martial artist to Grandmaster, one needs to be baptized by the Nine Heavens Gale, refining true qi into gale qi, which is then gradually integrated into the martial arts will.
Embarrassingly, the Nine Heavens Gale is high in the sky.
Therefore, martial artists need to fly up into the sky to receive the baptism of the Nine Heavens Gale.
However, another problem is that only by being baptized by the Nine Heavens Gale can a martial artist fly into the sky.
This is incredibly frustrating.
Early martial artists could go to special mountains, reach the summit, and wait for the arrival of the Nine Heavens Gale to temper their bodies.
Later, major martial arts sects, powerful families, and even the imperial court occupied all the famous mountains and rivers.
Of course, some blessed lands will produce "罡玉" (罡玉, a type of magical jade) due to the baptism of strong winds.
Gangyu is gentler and easier to advance, but its production is still directly monopolized by major forces.
This led to the creation of stratification within the martial arts world.
Even if a rogue martial artist possesses exceptional talent and advances all the way to the half-step Grandmaster level, they can still be choked by the Gang Jade.
Yuwen Yi won people's hearts by using Gangyu, whether it was Longlou or Zhou Xiong.
This shows the importance of this thing in the hearts of independent martial artists.
It's worth risking your life for.
Resource monopolies are far easier to achieve than knowledge monopolies.
It's impossible to monopolize mid-to-lower level martial arts because copying texts is too easy; controlling resources is far more effective.
In Zhao Jing's previous life, a powerful nation controlled the manufacture of nuclear bombs through uranium mines, rather than the principles behind atomic bombs.
The Crown Prince's residence used to have them, but Zhao Jing didn't bring them, so they don't exist now.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace gave this item as both an encouragement and a hope that Zhao Jing would have a grandmaster by his side.
A Grandmaster can fight against a Great Grandmaster, at least buying time for Zhao Jing to escape.
After doing all this, the Palace Master of Beichen Palace said, "Your Highness, take care of yourself."
Zhao Jing bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Palace Master."
"No need for thanks, Beichen Palace will also benefit greatly."
Once the success rate of the Iron Pearl increases significantly, the Taoist sect will have a way to completely overwhelm the Buddhist sect.
Although there are quite a few people in the human race with potential martial spirit, the important thing is that not every member of the privileged class has martial spirit.
However, the mortality rate of Xuanzhu in the past was too high, so they had to give up.
Now, the Beichen Palace can sell these Iron Mystic Pearls for astronomical prices, making them highly sought after by countless powerful and wealthy people.
Don't be fooled by how much the Palace Master of Beichen gives; in the long run, you can earn it back.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace came and went in a hurry.
Zhao Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He remained on edge, using the Heavenly Fate Bone to probe the Northern Star Palace Master's reaction, aiming to secure the Northern Star Palace's investment in the most perfect manner.
Now that things were settled, Zhao Jing slumped into a rocking chair.
"Your Highness!"
Bao'er was somewhat unwilling and threw herself into Zhao Jing's arms.
She felt utterly useless.
Zhao Jing rubbed Bao'er's cheek and laughed, "You've only been cultivating for a few years, but you've already progressed very quickly."
"Accept this gift, cultivate diligently, surpass her in the future, and then repay her."
"She's much older than you."
Bao'er suddenly became excited: "Your Highness means that she's actually an old auntie?"
Bao'er instantly found her winning strategy and felt much better.
You mustn't say that.
Zhao Jing suddenly felt a strange murderous aura.
"Of course not."
"The Palace Mistress of Beichen Palace is no different from a beautiful young girl."
"Even though her face is not clearly visible, she must be a stunning beauty."
"Although she is a bit older than Bao'er, she is at most considered the older sister."
"You can't just say things like that."
"Do you understand?"
Bao'er had already won, so she naturally didn't care about this small difference.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Then I'll begin my cultivation now."
Zhao Jing felt the pressure on his body disappear instantly.
Indeed, no matter how high one's cultivation level or how great one's ideals are.
A woman is always a woman.
One day, I will see the true face hidden under the starlight.
Zhao Jing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shook his head, saying, "What's the rush?"
"There are still things that haven't been dealt with."
Bao'er looked confused; apart from things related to Zhao Jing, her memory wasn't very good.
"It's Zhou Xiong's body."
"He's a grandmaster, after all; he might possess some important treasure."
Originally, Zhao Jing had arranged for Instructor Lin and others to find Pan Hongxiao and then contact Tu Su to obtain information about the Eastern Palace's spy, intending to dispose of the body.
As a result, the main force of Beichen Palace came, so naturally, we had to deal with them first.
Now that the Palace Master of Beichen Palace has left, we can finally examine the spoils of war.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soon, Zhao Jing used the Sumeru Ring to retrieve Zhou Xiong's body.
Revive, Coach Zhou!
Zhao Jinggang has just been promoted to the [Early Stage of the Libationer], which is the [Divine Travel] realm, allowing him to separate his soul from his body and possess another person.
He already possessed this ability when he was a cultivator condensing a holy seal.
However, after his promotion, he became more acutely aware of information about death.
Preserving Zhou Xiong's remains until now has some advantages.
The Great Dream of the Floating Buddha - The Dream of Death!
Even after death, some consciousness remains, and this consciousness is like a dream.
The Great Dream Floating Buddha Sutra observes this kind of dream and believes that the human world is just a vast, empty dream.
The news of Zhou Xiong's death gradually surfaced in Zhao Jing's mind, accompanied by his profound energy.
"Young master, what are your orders?"
Zhou Xiong spoke with great respect, while Yuwen Yi emphasized, "Remember, you must not kill Lin Fengxue."
"Make him submit mentally, not physically."
Zhou Xiong nodded and said, "Understood."
"But Pan Hongxiao is stubborn by nature, and she probably won't give in without seeing it with her own eyes."
"Should I take her up the mountain with me?"
"madness!"
Yuwen Yi's expression immediately changed: "Remember, the two must not be allowed to meet before Lin Fengxue completely surrenders."
"Never mind, I'll arrange for someone else to protect Madam Lin."

"You should not meet in person, but communicate using secret techniques."
"After it's done, don't rush to let the two of them meet."
Zhou Xiong was taken aback: "Young master, if that's the case, why make Madam Lin rush to Sichuan and endure the hardships of the journey?"
Yuwen Yi tapped the table: "This is not something you should be concerned about."
Zhou Xiong immediately knelt down: "Your subordinate was too talkative."
Yuwen Yi's tone softened: "Chief Instructor Zhou, you flatter me. Once you've subdued the heroes of Bashan, you can use them to enter Shu."
"After all, the Tang Clan is about to fall into chaos."
"You'll understand my intention then."
"Yes, young master!"
This intelligence was so complete and clear that even Zhao Jing was somewhat surprised.
Just as he was about to examine the dream further, Zhou Xiong's dream shattered.
It seems that Bao'er's piercing through the skull ultimately came at a price.
Bao'er felt a little embarrassed when she saw the body fall down.
Zhao Jing was about to pat her head to comfort her when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Your Highness, what has happened?"
Zhao Jing smiled slightly: "Zhou Xiong plans to fight to the death, condensing all his internal energy into a piece of Qi Jade."
"Before he could even unleash his power, he was trapped and died, and was placed in the Sumeru Ring, which perfectly formed a Gang Jade with the will of martial arts."
"This is a pleasant surprise."
Upon hearing this, Bao'er quickly took out her claws and dug out a piece of Gang Jade from Zhou Xiong's heart.
If that is the case.
Ordinary Gang Jade does not contain the essence of martial arts. Only Gang Jade formed by a grandmaster who has condensed his life's will has such value.
It can even serve as a tool for passing down martial arts.
Zhao Jing was ultimately less than ten years ahead in martial arts.
Perhaps we can make up for some of the losses with this piece of jade.
Bao'er was also pleasantly surprised: "Your Highness, it seems to be alive."
Zhao Jing grinned: "Put it away, let's eat first."
Bai Yutang stood outside in the cold wind, using his inner energy to keep the food warm, having waited for a long time.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
