The Holy Son Is Nothing

Zhang Yue has been very busy these past few days, making his stall quite large. Although there are quite a few stalls in the Ancient God City, they are not very large in scale because the martial artists don't have much to sell.

The most popular thing here right now is to mix the necessary equipment and medicine on the Second Layer.

The purpose of the medicine is to prepare for the moment of reaching the limit, but most martial artists do not want to go to the third level because the Mutated Beast on the Second Layer are strong enough. It is already difficult enough to survive there, and going to the third level is not much different from courting death.

To survive on the Second Layer, the most important thing is equipment, either cold resistance or fire resistance, just those two.

For many martial artists, imbuing equipment is not an easy task, because their elemental power is limited. Unlike Lin Zhen, who possesses the Dark Star, whose power is inexhaustible and can be used freely, Lin Zhen needs to rest for a long time after imbuing a piece of equipment and needs to crystallize to replenish the consumed elemental power, so the output is very low.

Furthermore, crystals also require money to purchase, and how many people can be like Lin Zhen, taking out hundreds of billions without batting an eye?

Therefore, there are not many good equipment options on the market, and they are extremely expensive.

Therefore, when Zhang Yue set up his stall selling ice and fire equipment, many martial artists scoffed at him.

"Zhang Yue, why are you setting up such a big stall? Do you even have that many counterfeit goods to sell?"

"Exactly, ice and fire equipment? Where did you get your equipment? To get to the Second Layer, you need real equipment, not your fake stuff. That won't work at all."

Zhang Yue looked at the martial artists and merchants who had gathered around and clapped his hands, saying, "You don't need to worry about that. My idol, Lin Zhen, will take care of the supply problem. Just wait and see."

"Lin Zhen? What kind of equipment could he possibly create? I know he's a genius, capable of resonating with both light and electricity, but what we need is ice and fire. How could he possibly obtain that?"

"That's right. Even if he manages to produce some equipment, do you think we'd risk offending the Holy Son for a mere piece of junk? I would never buy anything from him, and he shouldn't expect to get anything from me either."

"Me too. Although I don't really like that Holy Son either, I'll save my money for a few bucks."

Zhang Yue looked around and said, "You can say whatever you want now, but when the equipment arrives, just don't come begging me to buy it. Otherwise, I might not sell it to you."

"Tch, keep pretending. We'd like to see what you and Lin Zhen can pull off."

"Where did Lin Zhen go? She hasn't appeared for many days. Could she have been defeated by the online criticism?"

"It's very likely that he offended the Holy Son, and his days are numbered now."

"Lin Zhen is also being stupid. Why did he go against the Holy Son? Although he won the God of War Arena Champion, how can he compare to a Stellar Realm expert? A small person doesn't have the self-awareness of a small person. That's stupid."

While these people were discussing amongst themselves, the curtain of Lin Zhen's tent was finally lifted.

These days of cultivation have allowed Lin Zhen to absorb a lot of crystals, and his power has improved again. He has not only stabilized his Level Nine Peak realm, but he has even stepped into the threshold of the Quasi-Star Realm.

Although Lin Zhen offended the Holy Son and the Divine Cult, in the eyes of these War God or Quasi-Star Realm, his strength was still incomparably powerful. No one dared to say anything unpleasant to Lin Zhen's face; they all watched coldly from the sidelines.

Arriving at the stall, Lin Zhen looked around and said, "Great job, Zhang Yue, it's basically all set up."

"That's about it. We can start once the goods are laid out."

"Okay, let's begin."

Lin Zhen began taking things out of his Space Ring one by one and placing them on the stall.

When the first piece of equipment was displayed, it immediately attracted people's attention.

It was a Low-Grade Star Weapon arm guard, with a faint blue-green light emanating from it, indicating it was of the cold attribute.

"Wow! This arm guard is pretty good."

A martial artist walked over, picked up a thermometer, and began to test the temperature of the arm guard.

He activated a bit of his Dantian Qi, allowing some of the cold energy within the arm guard to escape. After testing it, he was immediately stunned. "Wow! This arm guard can release temperatures as low as minus seventy degrees Celsius. That's enough to travel halfway across the Flame River."

Many martial artists around were immediately tempted. Star Artifact that could withstand temperatures as low as minus seventy degrees Celsius were not easy to find. Should they consider buying one?

However, people did not act immediately, after all, it was not worth offending the Holy Son for this arm guard.

What followed was a dazzling display: armor made of frost, helmets made of frost, shields made of frost, longswords made of flame, leg guards made of flame, Skirt Armor made of flame—one after another, Low-Grade Star Weapon were laid out.

The martial artists over there were following behind, taking tests, and they kept getting startled.

"Wow! Leggings for minus 72 degrees Celsius! This is a real gem! A pair of leggings is crucial for traversing the Flame River. With these, you can walk through fire anywhere."

"Hey, look at this. This is a helmet with a range of 900 degrees Celsius. With this, the cold air from South Pole will almost never freeze a person's ears or nose. This is even more useful than medicine."

"This is great, this is great! This is a shield of firepower. With a temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius, having something like this would basically guarantee survival in South Pole. I want this."

"Don't rush, let's take another look. These are all Low-Grade Star Weapon. We'll consider making a move if we find any Mid-Grade Star Artifact."

Lin Zhen displayed over fifty Low-Grade Star Weapon, followed by Mid-Grade Star Artifact.

There are also more than thirty Mid-Grade Star Artifact, mainly armor, covering various body parts, and each containing different levels of cold and fire energy.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Mid-Grade Star Artifact, these martial artists couldn't stand it any longer. Several of them gathered around Lin Zhen and said, "Lin, our African Union and Huaxia have always been friendly. I am also a loyal fan of yours. Could you give me priority to buy two pieces of equipment? I want that shield and those boots."

"Lin, although some martial artists in Tsarist Russia may have offended you, I haven't. Besides, most of the people of Tsarist Russia like you quite a bit. I'm willing to be your lifelong friend and partner. I'll take that Long Sword and helmet. Could you also give me a Low-Grade Star Weapon Skirt Armor as a gift?"

"Lin Zhen, we are all Huaxia. A lot of people have been criticizing you online these past few days, and I even spoke up for you. If you have anything good, you should give priority to our compatriots."

"Forget it. With global air travel now, the concept of national borders is gradually becoming blurred. I believe Lin is definitely not a narrow-minded nationalist. We European Union warriors are willing to be friends with Lin Zhen. An Ning is Lin Zhen's girlfriend and has been in our European Union for a long time."

"Don't try to get close to him. An Ning was almost killed by the European Union, and you still have the audacity to say you're friends with Lin. Have you forgotten that the Holy Son is also in the European Union? Be careful he doesn't cause you trouble."

"If Lin Neng were to sell me a Top-Grade Star Artifact with fire elemental properties, I wouldn't be afraid!"

Lin Zhen ignored these people and, after arranging the Mid-Grade Star Artifact, began to arrange the Top-Grade Star Artifact. There were nearly twenty Top-Grade Star Artifact, and of course, they were all quite expensive, but they attracted even more people to come and watch.

Amidst gasps of amazement, Lin Zhen finally displayed seven or eight more Top-Grade Star Artifact.

"My God! Armor that's -100 degrees Celsius! With this and some medication, I could reach near the North Pole Point! I want this! I'll offer 10 billion!"

"Give me a break. You think you can buy top-tier elemental armor for 10 billion? Dream on! I'll offer 2 billion!"

"You idiot! I'm a huge fan of Su Mingyue. In my heart, Saintess Su is like my sister. Brother-in-law, sell her to me!"

"Get lost! You're almost sixty years old, what are you doing taking on younger sisters? If you're going to take on a sister, it should be someone like me, young and promising, under fifty."

At first, many believers of the Divine Cult watched coldly. They all knew about the conflict between Lin Zhen and the Holy Son and were determined not to support Lin Zhen. However, after those Top-Grade Star Artifact were brought out, they couldn't stay still any longer.

Should we go and buy it? Should we go against the will of the Holy Son?

Faith and reality began to clash fiercely in their hearts, making it difficult for them to make a decision for a while.

After everything was arranged, the EU War God at the front immediately came to the stall. "Lin, I want to buy a sword and a pair of boots. Name your price."

As he spoke, the War God pointed to two pieces of equipment.

Lin Zhen glanced at the Mid-Grade Star Artifact boots and sword, and said calmly, "Are you a follower of the Divine Cult?"

"Yeah, so what? I pay for what I buy too," said the EU War God."

"Hehe, you see there are quite a few people filming, right? These videos will all be uploaded to the internet, which means they will all be seen by the Holy Son. You all know about the conflict between the Holy Son and me. Wouldn't it be a slap in his face if you were to do business with me? Have you thought about the consequences? Be careful he doesn't expel you from the Divine Cult."

The European Union's War God was stunned and somewhat at a loss.

Lin Zhen waved his hand. "You can leave now. I'm not selling you my equipment."

He was somewhat unwilling to give up and paced anxiously in circles, not knowing what to do.

A Quasi-Star Realm from the African Union walked up to Lin Zhen: "Lin, I want to buy an armor and a shield, that one and that one."

Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, "That wouldn't be good. I have to think about your safety. What if the Holy Son causes you trouble? Wouldn't I become a sinner?"

The African Union's War God laughed heartily, "Lin, thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to worry about me. I'm not a follower of the Divine Cult, and I'm not bound by his Holy Son. Besides, what business is it of his that I buy things? The Holy Son is nothing! I can buy whatever I want with my money; he's not going to bite my bird, is he?"

Hearing the words of the African Union War God, Lin Zhen finally smiled, "Alright then, but the things here are a bit expensive, and I mainly focus on trade. You can talk to my assistant Zhang Yue about the specifics."

The negotiation process was quick. The African Union War God exchanged five crystals, two Dark Energy Stone, and three billion gold coins for two pieces of equipment worth nearly ten billion. Lin Zhen not only sells, but also buys a lot of things. Some good items can be exchanged for cash.

So that's how it is. Seeing that the African Union's War God had actually gotten the equipment after cursing the Holy Son, everyone around them lit up.
