Dream Reincarnation

"Oh?!"

Jian Shang had little interest in Dongfang Shi's explanation of herself or the ancient factions. Instead, Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix and Quiet Night Thoughts piqued his curiosity.

Back when Jian Shang had risen from humble beginnings, those antique paintings had fetched a handsome price, giving him the capital to establish himself.

According to Shopkeeper Ji, two of those paintings contained mysterious cultivation techniques. Judging by their materials, the techniques dated back at least to ancient times. Jian Shang naturally remembered, but he had thought little of it then, assuming Shopkeeper Ji had merely made an offhand remark.

"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix contains a peerless spear technique, while Quiet Night Thoughts holds a mysterious, peerless manual from Primordial Antiquity!"

Seeing that she had successfully aroused Jian Shang's interest, Dongfang Shi pressed her full lips together slightly and answered calmly.

"Not interested! I use a halberd and a sword. A spear technique would be useless to me. As for peerless manuals, I have plenty..."

To her surprise, Jian Shang curled his lip and replied with little interest.

"Are you certain, Your Highness? Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix might indeed be of little use to you, but Quiet Night Thoughts contains the technique best suited to Otherworlders. It suits you even better than Cosmic Star Tribulation, the technique you received from Qin Shi Huang that is hailed as the finest in the world!"

Dongfang Shi smiled with a slight pout, watching Jian Shang confidently as she spoke.

It suits me even better than the world's finest technique, Cosmic Star Tribulation?!

Jian Shang's heart jolted at the startling thought.

Although he did not believe the technique within Quiet Night Thoughts could surpass Cosmic Star Tribulation, he also did not think Dongfang Shi would deceive him.
