Above all spirits

Chapter 156 The Eve of the Auction

"It's rarely used in the Upper Realm anymore. It's not as convenient or as strong as the Soul Essence. It's just as that fat guy said. Even among gods and demons, not many can directly use the power of the stars; they all use it indirectly."

"They are basically used in buildings, formations, barriers and the like. They are not really controlled. If you really try to control them, the Star Moon Demon Clan will be the first to go berserk and beat you to a pulp."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. In your lower realm, the power of stars is indeed a top-tier power, so it's no wonder you control it so much."

"Eh, no."

"Are you kidding me? Are you trying to wake me up so I can go back to sleep?"

"The Star-Moon Demon can directly wield the power of the stars. He's one of the few demons who knows the power of the stars and is quite skilled at it. Can't you assimilate into that Star-Moon Demon?"

Gu Yun gave an awkward laugh.

“I am not a native Star Moon Demon. Most of the time, I fight by following my ‘muscle memory’. Unfortunately, the Star Moon Demons in the Upper Realm don’t seem to be so bored. They even replenish their Star Power with the Star Stones they have already used up.”

Werner paused for a moment before speaking.

"Um... how could I possibly know how other races directly use the power of stars? However, I suggest you get used to the body of the Star Moon Demon more."

"After all, this is as easy as eating and drinking for them. Although it's starting from scratch, eating and drinking shouldn't be too difficult. Give it a try. I don't have any other methods here."

Okay, goodnight.

Good night.

...

Looking at Shang Wenqing's expectant face, Gu Yun rubbed his temples helplessly.

He also knew what it would mean in the lower realm if he could infuse the Star Stone with the power of stars.

That would be a huge profit.

However, there's really no way to guarantee success.

Secondly, even if he mastered it, he couldn't stay here indefinitely to help him with the conversion.

He answered truthfully.

"I'll keep these two star coins and give it a try."

"If it's not needed for a short period of time, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Upon hearing this, not only Shang Wenqing, but everyone present except Bai Qing'er was shocked.

It's safe to say that anyone with even a basic understanding of the pentacles was visibly astonished.

Four people, eight eyeballs, almost all of them popped out.

An unusual silence fell over the field.

Gu Yun felt ashamed.

"Don't look at me like that."

"Even if I could, I couldn't keep doing this kind of work for you, which is like working in an electronics factory. If I can master it before I leave, I can only do it for you once or twice at most."

Indeed, as Werner said, the lower realm holds very little interest for gods and demons, aside from the souls from which they can extract soul matter.

Charging the starstones was as easy as carrying bricks to them.

Unless the benefits are huge enough, don't expect an upper-class person to be doing manual labor.

If this were to reach the upper realms, it would be extremely embarrassing.

And the key point is that not everyone can move these bricks.

Especially for the Star Moon Demon.

A noble demon royal family from the upper realm.

A dominant force.

There are even rumors that there is more than one Demon King.

They are practically royalty among royalty.

It's no exaggeration to say that if word got out from here that the Star Moon Demon Clan was doing this kind of thing in the lower realm...

That identity and that face can no longer be used.

Killing a few birdmen might even earn you praise from your own kind.

This is a different matter.

It will be banned.

"Enough is enough."

Shang Wenqing said with a fawning expression.

His lips began to tremble violently.

It's really impossible to suppress!

What the hell!

What the hell!

What the hell!

I told you I bet right!

I'll send a message back to the merchants and see who dares to question my decision now!

Even if Gu Moshi makes a slight move, it can increase the merchant's current asset strength by at least 30%!

Thank goodness I've been saving up my Star Coins and haven't exchanged them yet!

Isn't this what we've been working towards?

TunTun Mouse wins big!

"I see."

"How can we take up Master Gu's precious time? Once is enough, just once is enough."

"Hehehe, let's go!"

"Let's go eat first, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Shang Wenqing clasped his hands and stepped out the door first, greeting everyone.

Ji Ning hesitated, thinking that it wouldn't be appropriate to discuss this matter with her elder brother given her status. She decided to go back and discuss it with her father later.

After all, the Ji family and Gu Yun only had a cooperative relationship. I heard that they were exchanging information and exchanging resources from the upper realm, as well as some other plans that my father hadn't told me.

However, it should not involve Star Coins.

Unlike businesses that directly bring their assets under Gu Yun's name and follow his lead, Ji Xiao lacks that kind of boldness, and the Ji family would not allow it.

With a change of heart, he pulled Bai Qing'er along and followed Shang Wenqing out the door.

Su Xiaoqian naturally wouldn't ask Gu Yun for help either; she couldn't represent anything, so she just listened and that was enough.

In the end, only Xiao Li remained.

Gu Yun put away the star coins, played with them, and said.

"Tell me, you've looked preoccupied since earlier, it must be related to me, and I also wanted to ask you something."

Xiao Li said frankly.

"Big brother, are you considered a demon now?"

Gu Yun suddenly realized that this was what it was all about.

It seems Xiao Li must have checked it again, since from the beginning until now, apart from the Shadow Guard who noticed something was wrong, no one else had sensed anything.

If it weren't for the identification system, Xiao Li would never have noticed it.

In other words, without using one's powers, at most, people below the ninth level of the Holy Body cannot detect that they are of the Demon race.

Hey.

It seems you need to use a different guise when going to places like auction houses.

"Hmm, I went to the stronghold of the Heavenly Demon Clan and took advantage of the situation to become a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan. Come to think of it, if you want to obtain the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will, how can you obtain it without first transforming into a demon?"

"By the way, you used Deep Authentication again?"

The weight on Xiao Li's heart quietly lifted.

It sounds like the eldest brother should be able to control his inner demons.

Previously, the main concern was that Gu Yun would be affected by inner demons after transforming into a demon, he shook his head and said.

"No, it was just a routine check. I'm sorry, brother, I couldn't help myself."

“When you re-apply identification to an object that has already undergone deep identification, although some of the new information may not be visible, some of the status descriptions will still be apparent.”

"It's a minor system vulnerability, because its status description and name appear together. If the name is a question mark, the status description will naturally also be a question mark. But since I've already used it on you once, these records are saved, just not updated."

"When you use the identification again, the page will refresh. Since your name has been recorded, the status description will also be refreshed, and there will be an additional description of (becomes demonic)."

Gu Yun couldn't help but laugh. There's always a loophole to exploit.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal. I was just about to ask you something, do you know about the Seven Sin Envoys under the Heavenly Demon?"

Xiao Li tried hard to recall and said.

"I know a little about it, but not much. I heard it only appeared recently. What happened?"
