Gu xing shan's
Chapter 4: Stigma Star Harvest
Young Miss Fen Wei froze to see the slave necklace Gu Xing Shan found by the workers. Who did this? Who helped Gu Xing Shan? More importantly, who could take off the slave necklace?!
Senior cowhide craftsman saw it all. The 5 bandits attack and Gu Xing Shan's fight against the Highland bandits. Miss Fen Wei was sitting limp on her throne.
The fear towards Gu Xing Shan began to grow within him. Holding his head he told the waiter to bring wine.
Sipping a sip of liquor Fen Wei muttered, "God-blessed son."
One important thing that Miss Fen Wei did not know was Artemis' involvement. From the start the senior who saw the incident did not see Artemis near Gu Xing Shan.
"Are there any news from the guards I ordered looking for Gu Xing Shan?"
"No Miss." Answer waiter.
Hearing his unsatisfactory reply spontaneously Fen Wei threw the wine glass into the servant's face.
After injuring his servant Fen Wei is approached by his younger brother, Heng Wei, the young master of the 3rd branch of the Wei family.
Heng Wei talked to his older sister. Discussing about the runaway slave, Gu Xing Shan. According to Heng Wei this was a very serious matter that could threaten the peace of the 3rd branch of the Wei family.
"Don't you know why we attacked the Shan family?"
"Not knowing." Fen Wei replied coldly.
Heng Wei let out a long sigh looking at his elder sister's attitude. Obviously he underestimated the real problem very seriously. Thought Heng Wei.
"You can't behave like this, brother. If Grandpa knew the 3rd branch could be removed from the family." Heng Wei tried to resuscitate Fen Wei. But the woman was too stubborn and selfish to understand the circumstances.
Instead of understanding Fen Wei instead yelled at his sister, "Be quiet Heng Wei! that kid will be caught soon! stop acting smart like that!"
Fen Wei disliked his younger brother Heng Wei. Because his brother is more genius in the academic field. Heng Wei's academic achievement was so good that he was once offered to become a permanent disciple of the sacred altar of Jinlian. The problem was that Fen Wei had dreamed of studying in that place a long time ago.
Heng Wei also explained the Wei family's plan to launch an attack on the Zhao family palace. Fen Wei was confused as to why he had arrived to discuss the plan of the attack on Zhao castle.
"Grandfather intended to take advantage of the Shan family's special style, namely the transfer of stars to the Zhao palace. However since Longhu Shan managed to escape, Grandfather wanted to use cousin Gu Xing Shan and An Long Shan to threaten Longhu Shan."
Fen Wei froze hearing that. He had no idea that Longhu Shan had managed to escape from the Shadow Wolf clan.
"Don't worry, brother. I'll help you find Gu Xing Shan." Heng Wei offered.
"I'll find him in a day's time. So get Brother's bodyguards ready to catch him."
"alright. But I don't owe you!"
Heng Wei started tracking Gu Xing Shan down with an earth level cultivation base.
...**********...
I've been given a second chance by the gods. This time it will not be wrong again. I will destroy the Wei family with my own hands.
Gu Xing Shan repeated those words inside his head. While Artemis was asleep on Gu Xing Shan's shoulder.
Gu Xing Shan secluded himself to the far reaches of the forest with Artemis. When he was tired enough he found a deep abyss, a place he thought was suitable for hiding. Once at the bottom of the ravine there is a small cave that can be entered. Gu Xing Shan decided to stay there for a while.
Artemis woke up, looking around, "Is there no better hiding place?" Artemis.
Gu Xing Shan sighed ".there's nothing to believe out there. A few days ago I had asked for protection to the Suiryu sect, but they refused out of fear of the Shadow Wolf clan's threat."
"Ohh so." Artemis seemed to understand their current state.
Gu Xing Shan left Artemis to hunt. He easily climbed up the cliff and looked around. He wanted to quickly catch something to eat, then practice cultivation in order to immediately rise to the mountain level.
After seeing the forest it was a forest of red clouds. Habitat of 3-headed lizard species.
Knowing that, Gu Xing Shan hurried back. He only took a few leaves that could be used as a spice for cooking.
Leaping over the slippery rocks Gu Xing Shan reached the bottom of the ravine smoothly.
"Goddess Artemis I know what the dinner menu is in-"
Gu Xing Shan was startled when he saw Artemis was stroking the nose of a 3-headed lizard. Plus the size of the lizard was as big as Gu Xing Shan, which signified he was a level 4 lizard species.
"Keep your hands from that reptile Goddess!!!" Shouted Gu Xing Shan. The shocked Lizard then became aggressive and tried to bite Artemis' hand.
Realizing that his hand would be in the mukbang, Artemis also activated her Stigma. He moved his finger violently and the blue light restrained the lizard's leg.
Artemis turned her wrist slowly, followed by the lizard's front body being turned slowly as well.
The lizard was killed by Artemis in a terrible way. Gu Xing Shan was both amazed and horrified at Artemis' action, spontaneously clapping.
"Good work of Goddess Artemis. Tonight we're gonna eat big." (Gu Xing Shan)
The rain is falling. Gu Xing Shan was busy preparing the fireplace with stones. Then he lit a fire with his Qi.
"Your power is very practical." Artemis praised cultivation.
"Not really. I'm not very good at controlling fire, the last time I practiced fire control I burned half my family's vineyards."
Artemis laughed at Gu Xing Shan's story.
The first time Gu Xing Shan saw Artemis laughing. I guess he would only smile when praised. Thought Gu Xing Shan.
Gu Xing Shan and Artemis also devoured the flesh of the head lizard 3 Artemis catches. Artemis ate voraciously, while Gu Xing Shan had trouble swallowing the meat.
It doesn't taste very good! even after being given a seasoning flavoring bitter taste still dominates. Somehow the star girl was able to swallow this bitter flesh.
His lizard flesh Artemis spent by herself without thinking about Gu Xing Shan's feelings of being completely unable to eat. Finally Artemis lay on a satiety.
"After eating go see the stars. The more stigma I have, the easier it will be to live our escape." Artemis's Order.
Gu Xing Shan left his food and went outside through the torrent of rain.
Rainwater cannot cover the lens of a telescope, nor can rain clouds.
Gu Xing Shan turned the telescope violently, due to his impatience. Finally he found. one more Stigma star.
Artemis came and started meditating to absorb star energy, while Gu Xing Shan made an iron tent for Artemis.
A strong wind shot out from Artemis' body, sending Gu Xing Shan into a thump.
"Uhh, what was that?" Gu Xing Shan asked curiously.
As the Stigma star energy entered into his body, Gu Xing Shan could see the Stigma star realm stars that were in the sky, with the naked eye.
Artemis explained the way to activate the power of Stigma, which was to imagine what Stigma Gu Xing Shan wanted to expel.
The 3 stigmas Artemis shared with Gu Xing Shan were the twin Stigmas of Reconstruction and Destruction, and Gravity Zero.
Gu Xing Shan closed his eyes then imagined himself flying. He really did fly. Upon opening his eyes he was surprised to find himself already flying past the horizon.
So powerful was the power of a Stigma made Gu Xing Shan happy not to be a bitch. Revenge to the Wei family would be much easier.
"Let's find another star Goddess!!" Gu Xing Shan's interest was diverted to the Stigma quest.
...**********...
3 Days have passed. Gu Xing worked hard day and night. During the day he was practicing cultivation last night looking for stars.
His hard work has paid off. In his cultivation practice he had broken through to the Mountain level. It was not like when fighting bandits who only touched that level for a moment.
And he managed to find 7 Stigma stars that were all already absorbed by Artemis. Still accompanied by rain, Artemis distributed the power to 7 new Stigma.
The name of the 7 Stigma is :
Full Moon
Hoglins
Black Quasar
Plunderers
The Tear New Year
Castellans
Tankers
Plus the 3 Stigmas that have been obtained are Reconstruction and Destruction, and Gravity Zero, in total they have 10 Stigma.
The ability of each Stigma is explained by a blue board floating in the air.
"The "floating board is called the System. Only we can see it and touch it." Artemis.
"The system will help you control the Stigma. Since Stigma can be activated with the mind, a System is created that can regulate Stigma activation."
"Can't you find it any simpler." Gu Xing Shan's mouth advanced the lips.
"Before activating Stigma call the word System one time. I'll exemplify."
"System! Full Moon!"
The glint of light blinded Gu Xing Shan's eyes. It was the power of the Full Moon Stigma.
"Do you understand, right? The system was created to limit the use of Stigma in order to inadvertently deactivate."
Gu Xing Shan understood, he who was blinded fumbled around, then accidentally touched something tender.
Artemis slapped Gu Xing Shan. It turned out that what Gu Xing Shan had just touched was...
Feeling very tired Gu Xing Shan decided to take a break. He has not slept for 4 days. Artemis looked at the sleeping Gu Xing Shan deeply. Slowly bring her lips closer.
Don't misunderstand me. Artemis did not kiss Gu Xing Shan. He whispered a spell that carved a tattoo under Gu Xing Shan's earlobe.
...**********...
It had been 4 days that Gu Xing Shan had disappeared. Fen Wei came to the slave auction house.
There he asked the owner of the auction house for answer coverage, for his valuable slaves who managed to escape.
Fen Wei was furious that she felt she had been deceived. The slave necklace that should be indestructible was instead found lying around like trash.
Hearing that the moderator of the auction house, the glasses were shocked. He represented the auction house promising to recapture the runaway slave.
While Gu Xing Shan had returned to Yuan city. The first target of his revenge was Lang Wei, the young master of the second branch. He was determined to kill Lang Wei as well as save his younger brother An Long Shan from the grasp of the depraved man.
Gu Xing Shan's arrival was followed by a storm cloud.
