Zi Xianxian frowned. It would have been suspicious if she'd agreed too readily, but she had no choice but to trust him. "According to our best guess, God's Hand, Lance, seems to have been trying to master some kind of Battle Skill Cultivation Method. No one knows exactly what it is, though."
"That's as good as saying nothing," Lu Yin said irritably.
Zi Xianxian's eyes widened. "Don't underestimate this information. It means Lance hasn't mastered that Battle Skill Cultivation Method yet, which also means that if you have time, you can grow stronger. Give him time, and he might grow even faster. You can analyze a lot from just one piece of information."
Lu Yin considered this. She had a point.
"Tell me, does Lance often go into seclusion, disappearing for about a month at a time? Is it frequent?" Lu Yin asked.
Zi Xianxian shook her head. "I can't tell you anything else. Anyway, none of the Ten Decisions are ordinary. I'm not very optimistic about your duel with him. But if you're allowed to use outside resources, I do like your chances. God's Hand may have the Falling Star Sea and Cangmang Continent behind him, but when it comes to outside resources, he can't compare to you."
Lu Yin didn't stay long at the Purple Jade Chamber of Commerce. After returning to Purple Mountain King's Mansion, he spent a day there before heading to the Purple Jade Chamber of Commerce headquarters—Tianmao Star—with Zi Xianxian and Cai Jianqiang.
Tianmao Star was a commercial planet—or, more accurately, a commercial fortress. It was mobile, like an enormous shopping mall. The Purple Jade Chamber of Commerce locations across the Outer Universe were all modeled after Tianmao Star, though they were many times smaller.
Tianmao Star brought together every brand you could name
