Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Two New Seven Stars Knives

Lin Zhen spent another full day cultivating the power of the flame.
After he absorbed all the A-level variant crystals, the flame within him was completely resonated.
Once the resonance was complete, Lin Zhen snapped his fingers, and a bright red flame jumped in his palm.
“The temperature of this bright red flame has exceeded 700 degrees. It is almost enough for basic infusion, but its competitiveness in the market is still not strong. Next, I have to absorb the S-level crystals and further enhance the power of both ice and fire.”
This time, Lin Zhen invested a lot, spending a whopping 50 billion in just two days. He has already taken out another 50 billion, after all, S-level crystals are not common goods.
After three more consecutive days, Lin Zhen absorbed a large number of S-level crystals, almost clearing the market of its crystals. His ice-fire power finally made significant progress.
With regards to ice, he had already mastered temperatures down to negative 100 degrees.
As for fire, he had learned to control temperatures up to 1500 degrees and the color of flames had finally advanced to deep orange.
At this level, if Lin Zhen wanted to continue improving, he would need at least quasi-SS level mutant crystals. However, he could not find those in the first layer of the Ancient God City. They were only available in the second layer. Currently, the exploration of the second layer was incomplete, and there was nothing for sale on the market
“It’s almost enough for now. I can only reach this level with the Dark Star as a carrier. Others can only dream of resonantly cultivating the power of frost and fire at the same time.”
“Next, I should try infusion.”
Lin Zhen took a seven-star sword from his space ring.
He had seven seven-star swords, with gold, lightning, and light elemental powers already infused into three of them. Now, he was about to start infusing the fourth and fifth one.”
First was the Frost Seven Star Blade.
The white meteorite iron was a non-attribute material. It was heavy in his hands, but no extraordinary sensations occurred.
With a thought from Lin Zhen, ice crystals began entering the seven-star sword.
As soon as the ice crystals appeared, the temperature inside the tent began to drop rapidly.
White mist appeared quickly on the surface of the tent’s fabric, then frost formed. The frost layer quickly thickened and froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Thin ice on the ground and top of the tent began to thicken. When Lin Zhen exhaled, his breath was white.
The seven-star sword in hand also became fast cold, turning white and shiny.
A white mist swirled around it, making it difficult to see the body of the sword.
If a thermometer were placed on the seven-star sword at this time, the temperature would have been seen to rapidly decline, down to negative thirty degrees, fifty degrees, eighty degrees…
Until it reached minus one hundred degrees, which was the lowest temperature Lin Zhen could currently control.
“Buzz!”
The Seven Star Blade emitted a humming sound, the infusion of the frost
power was complete!
Lin Zhen withdrew the frost power. The frost energy inside the Seven Star Blade was full and had formed its own circulation. The quality had also reached the peak of a top-quality star artifact.
With a flicker of Lin Zhen’s spiritual power, the Seven Star Blade flew a circle around the tent and almost completely froze the tent. There was a thick layer of hard ice everywhere, it was even colder than the South Pole.
“That should do it. With such a blade, even a Star Realm expert could be affected. As for non-Star Realm individuals, most of them would probably be instantly frozen by its chill.”
After infusing the Frost Seven Star Blade, Lin Zhen started to infuse the Fierce Fire Seven Star Sword.
The reason for infusing the ice power was to freeze the tent first, and then infuse the fire power. This was to only melt the ice, instead of immediately burning the tent.
He held the Seven Star Sword in the center of his hand and with a thought, the firepower began to swarm in.
The white attribute-free blade immediately turned a light red color, and then steadily darkened.
From light red to deep red, deep red to cherry red, cherry red to bright red, bright red to light orange…
Finally, when it reached deep orange, the Fire Seven Star Blade was fully infused.
By that time, all the hard ice inside the tent had just melted, and the tent was baked dry. If the temperature increased a bit more, it might start to burn.
Lin Zhen couldn’t put down the Fierce Fire Seven Star Sword. Although the top quality star artifact wasn’t sharp enough, it was its fire power that was most potent. Without special skills or abilities, it would likely be challenging to defend against.
Just as he finished with these two Seven Star Swords, Zhang Yue walked in from outside
“Phew, Idol, I’m back.”
“Did you buy everything I asked you to?”
“Everything is gathered, all in here.” Zhang Yue handed a space ring to Lin Zhen, who opened it to find a huge pile of equipment inside, from lower grade star artifacts to top-quality star artifacts, with the lower grades being more numerous, of course.
These star artifacts all have one thing in common, they do not have any properties, they are just purely weapons or armors.
“Good, these things can be used right now, I’ll start infusing them, and then you can sell them.”
Zhang Yue nodded, but then hesitated: “Idol, recently on the internet… The sentiment online is really against you.”
“Oh, how so?”
“It’s all about Yan Huang’s incident. Many people have posted videos online and you’ve stirred up public anger this time. It feels like people all over the world are cursing at you. There’s all sorts of talk.. Even being with you, I’ve received hundreds of millions of insults. But compared to you, I am nothing.” “Oh! Are there that many people, how about in Hua Xia?”
“Compared to other countries, Hua Xia has fewer, and among all the base cities, Ice City has the fewest.”
Lin Zhen nodded slightly, just as long as his own country and hometown hasn’t gotten out of control, let the foreigners do their thing.
Seeing that Lin Zhen didn’t seem to care, Zhang Yue relaxed a bit: “However, many people are standing up for you, especially those in Ice City and Hua Xia. Many of them have benefited from you, and some simply dislike the Star Sky Divine Teaching. They are all supporting you. The online word wars are now fierce, do you want to check it out?”
Lin Zhen shook his head slightly: “There’s no need. This first time may be difficult to accept, but I estimate the reaction won’t be as strong when I criticize the Star Sky Divine Teaching again.
“Ah! There’s a next time? Idol, aren’t you afraid Su Saintess might be upset?
She is the Saintess of the Gods Clan.”
Lin Zhen smiled: “Yue’er won’t be upset. In fact, Yue’er might be the most awake person in the whole Gods Clan right now. It’s just that her status means she can’t speak up for me, but I’ve told her this beforehand.”
A few days ago, Lin Zhen had a call with Su Mingyue and informed her of his decision. He didn’t want Su Mingyue to feel torn because of this. Su Mingyue has had deep-seated doubts about the True God of the Stars, she stayed in the Gods Clan out of habit, and because she hadn’t made up her mind to leave yet, unless she had to choose between Lin Zhen and the Gods Clan.
Su Mingyue also respected Lin Zhen’s decision and later told Lin Zhen that Holy Son had already arrived in Hua Xia, and had the three major base city churches in the Northwest, the Heavenly Mansion, and the South, express their obedience to the Holy Son’s leadership, rejoining the Constantinople Divine Power Church under the European Union’s management.
Currently, Holy Son Yan Huang is in the Demon Capital Base City. If he regains control of the Demon Capital Church, then only Capital’s God’s Grace Cathedral would remain in Hua Xia. After all, the Sofia Cathedral in Ice City led by Allen of the Great Divine Sect has long been on Holy Son’s team.
In these past few days, Gongsun Du has also been considering this issue. He knew Yan Huang would definitely return, and in Su Mingyue’s eyes, Gongsun Du wouldn’t turn down Yan Huang’s offer, given that Gongsun Du is a true believer. He would be expected to obey Holy Son’s leadership.
After ending the call with Su Mingyue, Lin Zhen knew that Holy Son would once again, just like in his previous life, unify the Star Sky Divine Teaching of the whole world.
Once the Star Sky Divine Teaching is unified, it would become a force that can compete with nations, making it the eighth largest force in the world.
This process is something Lin Zhen currently cannot stop. What he can do now is to slap Holy Son in the face hard in the Ancient God City.
Only in this way would people no longer believe that Lin Zhen simply can’t compare to Holy Son. This will allow future plans to continue to proceed, and cast a shadow over his grand unifying achievement.
The videos circulating online are nothing more than showing how impressive Yan Huang is, how approachable he is, how he medically treated a Sand Russia girl, and casually left a word which suppressed Lin Zhen’s ability to do business.
What Lin Zhen has said has undoubtedly become an object of criticism, which Lin Zhen has long understood.
He took out a lower-grade star artifact armor from the collection of artifacts, and then said to Zhang Yue: “You go and prepare now. Prepare a big stall, set the prices as I instructed, we start in three days. I’ll focus on infusing the Ice and Fire equipment these three days, try to finish all the infusing.”
“Alright Idol, I’ve got this. Hehe, it’s great to be with Idol, I used to be a secondary trader, now suddenly I’ve become a producer, this could make a huge fortune.”
Zhang Yue added tentatively, “Idol, the market conditions are getting better and better. For example, at the Flame Polar Region, armor that can reach minus fifty degrees after triggering Dantian qi can sell for a decent price. If it’s seventy degrees then it’s a best seller. If we could pull off eighty degrees…whew!”
“Alright, stop probing. Seventy degrees is nothing big, the highest being minus hundred degrees. Go and get it done.”
“One hundred degrees! My God! That will definitely make those little guys drool. The highest I have ever seen was minus eighty-two degrees and it sold for eight hundred and twenty million. Starting from fifty degrees, one degree is one hundred million.”
“Hmm, that’s the deal, besides, there’s also the fire, up to fifteen hundred degrees. Go and publicize it.”
Once infused, these temperatures are emitted. Only when Dantian qi is activated can it be revealed. It doesn’t mean that the weapon or armor itself has reached this temperature. The emitted temperature will resist incoming cold or heat waves and won’t harm the martial artist themselves.
Zhang Yue agreed and left. But only when he got outside did he suddenly realize, how can Lin Zhen infuse both ice and fire power at the same time?
Won’t he be killed by the conflicting energies? Zhang Yue was puzzled.
But Zhang Yue had his own way of doing things. If he didn’t understand something, he wouldn’t think about it. The only explanation was that Lin Zhen is a genius, and the world of a genius is different from that of an ordinary person.
After three days of intensive preparation, Lin Zhen’s stall finally opened for business..
