The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 563 Ginseng Fruit

Although the demon girl's voice was a little hoarse, it sounded itchy, and her almost perfect body was very arousing.

Even Zhen Fan, whose heart was already filled with hatred, couldn't take his eyes away. The other demons sitting in the hall were drooling.

But this kind of temptation was not enough for Zhao Chen, who even commented with interest:
"This voice is similar to Qin Sheng's... But they are both demon girls, but Qin Sheng knows much more than this demon. You know, exposing too much is not the best choice..."

Seeing that Zhao Chen's attention was all on the female demon, Ming Xueling, who was still leaning on his arms, seemed to have some inexplicable emotions rising up, and unconsciously said:
"This demon used some magical power to speak just now, just like the demons I encountered before...

"Huh? It seems like she is mixing the abilities of more than one demon together!

"After receiving gifts from different demons, you didn't go completely crazy or turn into a monster?"

She was trying to find fault at first, but as she spoke she revealed a genuine look of surprise.

"Perhaps... this is the secret of why they are 'demons'."

Ming Xueling's words aroused Zhao Chen's interest, so he wanted to walk forward to get a closer look and explore the secret of the female demon. However, considering that this was a dream, the reaction was only superficial, and once in contact, it would be difficult to maintain the current "bystander" status, so he had to give up with regret.

At this moment, it seemed as if an unknown force brushed across Zhen Fan's cheek, making him wake up instantly. He then broke out in a cold sweat, and his eyes revealed anger and fear when he looked at the female demon.

The female demon with two horns on her head now glared at the slovenly old man who attacked her, and snorted:
"Rotten Gut Ghost, I want you to be the good guy!"

The slovenly old man, whose clothes were torn and whose abdomen was completely exposed, with maggots crawling all over, shook the broken palm-leaf fan in his hand and sighed, "Fairy Lan, this young man was introduced by His Highness the 'Red Snake Demon Star'!
"Although his fate is peculiar, his bloodline is probably also quite remarkable, which is why he was able to breed such a unique fruit of 'desire' in his spirit.

"But you can't take advantage of it and break the rules."

The female demon did not refute immediately, but once again looked at Zhen Fan with unscrupulous eyes, and said disdainfully: "Without this 'Desire' fruit, what good things can he, a cultivator who has just set up a spiritual platform and has not even drawn the vitality of heaven and earth into his body, come up with?

"Even if he is willing to sacrifice his flesh and blood, he cannot take away even a tiny bit of 'rationality'.

"Although Lord Red Snake Demon Star is powerful, comparable to Great Xia's Master Dong Xuan, don't try to force us into an unfair transaction.

"We demons are the best at preserving our lives, otherwise we would have been killed by those wizards in Taixi long ago... Even if a real 'Dongxuan' Master attacks, I am sure I will not be completely killed, not to mention..."

She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was self-evident. Although she was wary of the so-called "Red Snake Demon Star", she was not afraid of him.

At this time, as the protagonist being talked about by the demons, Zhen Fan could no longer hold back and shouted: "I will not sell my 'hatred', that is the meaning of my survival!

"However, I also brought a treasure to exchange for 'reason'... an important person said that I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Big shot... The demons who had roughly guessed the origin of the white-clothed scholar looked at each other, and finally the slovenly old man who played the "red face" asked:
"What treasures do you have? Why don't you take them out and let us see them, little brother?"

Yes, in Zhao Chen's eyes, the verbal conflict between the female demon and the sloppy old man just now was purely a tacit performance. One of them played the good cop and the other played the bad cop. Their purpose was to warn the young man not to rely on the support of "Dongxuan" to arbitrarily lower the price and to extract more information.

Maybe the female demon could really escape from "Dongxuan", but that would inevitably come at a huge price. She must have eaten too much to challenge such a high difficulty for a so-called "desire" fruit.

However, this method is still a bit crude. It may not be a big problem to deceive a youngster like Zhen Fan, but it is not good enough in the eyes of Zhao Chen, an "old man" who traveled around the world in his previous life.

Shaking his head, Zhao Chen looked at Zhen Fan, who had fallen into the rhythm of the demons, and took out three boxes from his storage bag.

The box was made of gold, jade and wood, all of which were engraved with intricate runes. Just by looking at the appearance, one could tell that there were valuable treasures hidden inside.

The female demon with two horns on her head, the sloppy old man with rotten intestines, and many demons present all stretched their necks in anticipation.

In particular, one of the humanoid demons whose neck could extend infinitely almost put his face on the long table where the boxes were placed. As a result, he was chopped off by another demon dressed as a butcher with a green face and fangs. After he grew a new head, he muttered and restrained himself a lot.

Zhen Fan took a deep breath and opened the first golden box. Inside was a fat, snow-white worm as thick as a baby's arm. It kept squirming and making wailing sounds in an unknown language.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear a curse in the voice.

"Ginseng fruit?" The sloppy old man stood up suddenly, staring directly at the fat white worm, his excitement evident on his face.

The other demons also stood up and looked greedily at the fat worm in the box, wishing they could take it for themselves.

Ginseng fruit? This creepy thing is a ginseng fruit? Zhao Chen was a little stunned after hearing what the sloppy old man said. He couldn't believe that the ginseng fruit described in the previous life's "Journey to the West" that blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen. If you smell it, you will live to be 360 ​​years old. If you eat one, you will live for 47,000 years. How could it look like this?

If ginseng fruit really looks like this, it is normal for Tang Seng not to want to eat it!
After mumbling inwardly, Zhao Chen lowered his head to Ming Xueling's ear and asked as if to confirm, "Is this really the 'Ginseng Fruit'?"

Ming Xueling frowned and said hesitantly, "It's very similar to what's described in the classics, but I'm not sure...

"After all, the ginseng fruit tree belongs only to the Flower God Sect. It matures only once every hundred years. There are not many of them left outside, and most of them are refined into longevity pills."

It matures once every hundred years... This is not the same as the ginseng fruit I know... Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking that this thing might be the same as those Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Buddhism, just a false name.

At this time, Ming Xueling added hesitantly: "However, Ming Xue's father once warned Ming Xue that except for the elixirs from the Dan Ding Xian Sect, all other longevity items are unreliable. There is a high probability that they contain serious hidden dangers. The example he cited included the ginseng fruit from the Hua Shen Sect.

"Even though one of these fruits can extend your life by six decades, if you eat it, your ultimate fate is to be 'eaten' by others."

Sure enough, this thing is not a real fairy fruit... But this world is full of weirdness, and the "Ginseng Fruit" is not a big deal.

As Zhao Chen felt relieved, he saw the female demon with two horns wave her hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Look at how little you have achieved. This young man hasn't even opened the other two boxes yet."

She is still young and has a lot of life ahead of her, so she is not so greedy for the "Ginseng Fruit".

The sloppy old man and the other demons calmed down immediately after hearing this and returned to their seats, but their eyes towards Zhen Fan became completely different.

Seeing this, Zhen Fan took a deep breath and continued to open the second "jade" box. A "fruit" covered with dark blue veins and constantly shrinking and expanding appeared in front of everyone. It was incomplete, with many missing parts, and the smell was foul...

It was a rotten heart that was still beating. "What is this?" Although the demons could sense that the heart was extraordinary, they did not recognize it.

However, Zhao Chen's eyes widened, and a light flashed in his pupils.

Because he recognized what this heart was...it was one of the "Star Raft Accessories" he had seen in the "Jade Book", the "Heart of Mars"!
I didn't expect it to be in Zhen Fan's hands? No...it might have been traded to these monsters now!
“This is a treasure equivalent to a ‘magic weapon’. As long as it is provided with enough of one’s own blood, it can unconditionally ‘regenerate’ from a fatal attack.

“Remember, there is no limit to the lethal attacks it can withstand. Even if it is hit by the True Lord Shengxuan, it can still be ‘reborn’.

"And it can be reused, but each time it's 'reborn', it needs about a week to be fed with blood." While Zhen Fan was introducing it, he looked at the heart with eager eyes.

If this heart was not given to him by a high-ranking member of the "Star Society" in exchange for "rationality", he really wanted to keep it for himself.

Compared to the ginseng fruit that can increase lifespan, he, who is still very young, needs this treasure that can "resurrect" him more to complete his revenge.

Sure enough, after hearing about the effect of this treasure, even Fairy Lan couldn't hold back. After all, although these monsters seemed powerful, they had always been living in precarious conditions. A treasure that could "resurrect" them was naturally tempting enough.

However, Zhao Chen on the other side scoffed at what Zhen Fan said: Feeding blood can "resurrect" infinitely? You are dreaming!

Based on my understanding of "Star Chariot Accessories", this thing is definitely looking for a person's "fate" or "existence", but the appearance is "blood-sucking".

People with strong destiny may be able to "resurrect" several times, but those with bad destiny will die before they can even recharge their energy for "resurrection".

The so-called "infinite" resurrection is a joke!

No, maybe I should be able to do it... After all, I can use "star coins" instead of "destiny" to pay.

"How do I know that what you said is true?" At this time, the fairy Lan with two horns on her head asked.

Zhen Fan was prepared for this, and took out a jade slip and said, "I have a video of the testing process of this treasure, you will know it once you see it."

As he said this, he handed the jade slips to the demons present and let them read them one by one.

After a moment, Fairy Na Lan nodded first and said, "You are indeed a member of the 'All Stars Society'... Well, we believe that the 'Great Evil' of the 'All Stars Society' will not joke with little people like us."

Her hoarse voice trembled a little, because what was displayed in the jade slip was actually a scene of a "very evil" level demon launching an attack.

Fortunately, even though the jade slip was made of extremely fine material, it could only record the surface, otherwise they would have either died or completely degenerated into demons.

After the jade slip, the proactive posture created by the demons in the hall disappeared completely. It was a pity that Zhen Fan lacked experience and did not take the opportunity to use the power of the great evil to suppress their momentum, otherwise he would have been able to gain an advantage in subsequent transactions.

So what was Zhen Fan doing at this time? He was opening the third wooden box.

There was no sudden flash of precious light, no raging demonic energy, and inside the box there was only a palm-sized "little man" lying quietly there.

The little person looked like a plump adult woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a green dress and had a pair of butterfly-like wings on her back.

At this moment, the little guy was snoring, as if he was sleeping very soundly.

"So they are the 'little fairies' from Taixi. They are often the wizards' assistants... Could it be that the Star Society has robbed a wizard tower?" The sloppy old man took a quick look and then looked away. He was obviously more interested in the ginseng fruit and the magic weapon heart.

The demons and wizards are mortal enemies and are very familiar with those practitioners in Taixi.

"This 'fairy' came from a wizard tower built by a 'Sunrise' level wizard. That wizard has passed away, but the wizard tower is still there. It contains all of that wizard's knowledge, including his cultivation methods!
"And this goblin is the manager of the wizard tower and can lead people into there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the demons that had been careless focused their attention on him again.

"You demons are only at the level of magical powers. If you want to advance, you must either get forgiven by the Taoist Master and learn the authentic methods of Daxia, or turn into demons and go completely crazy, or become wizards!
"You probably won't have a chance to succeed on the first path, and you'll lose yourself on the second path... so only the third path is suitable for you.

"But the cultivation methods of wizards are hard to come by, especially those that can become 'Brilliant Moon' or 'Sunny Sun', which are equivalent to the 'Dongxuan' realm. It is even more difficult...

"You can imagine the value of this 'goblin'."

Zhen Fan paused here, looked at the demons present, and continued: "So, does anyone want to exchange 'rationality' with me?"

As soon as he asked the question, the scene around him turned gray again, and the dream was paused again.

At the same time, a line of text appeared in front of Zhao Chen:

"Which treasure did Zhen Fan finally exchange for 'rationality'?
"You have three chances to answer."

Which treasure should be exchanged for "rationality"? Zhao Chen smiled, but did not answer immediately. He only lowered his head and asked Ming Xueling: "What do you think?"

Ming Xueling thought for a moment and replied, "It depends on who the 'rationality' belongs to.

"That sloppy old man obviously prefers the ginseng fruit, and the female demon will probably choose between the heart and the goblin.

"As for the other demons, their strength is inferior to these two and they have no say."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Zhao Chen, as if hoping to get his approval.

But Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "That's a good analysis, but you are looking at the problem from the perspective of fair trade... and they are demons!
“Now that these three things have appeared in their eyes, how could they let them go so easily!

"Combined with the fact that Zhen Fan is not dead and his strength has greatly increased...there are only two answers. Either Zhen Fan used all of his treasures to exchange, or he used none of them!"
