The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 653 Chaos
After transforming into "Hu Shan", Zhao Chen summoned the wings of ice and fire and flew to the "body" of "Moon Ghost" Qian Hua, who had been burned into vitality by him using the "Red Emperor Nourishing Essence".

Although only a trace of his "human form" remained, the storage bag he carried with him was not damaged at all.

After a careful inspection, Zhao Chen found the practice notes left by the "Moon Ghost". A look of surprise appeared on his face: "This 'Moon Ghost' is also practicing the "True Explanation of the Moonlight Demon Slaying", but compared to Hu Shan's practice, it is much more evil, and it seems to have been tampered with, causing defects in its inner world, making it easier for people to control it.

"This doesn't seem like the work of the evil spirits from Xinguang Temple... They are a bunch of mind-teasing people, so controlling people doesn't have to be this complicated.

"It seems that the 'insider' in the cave may only be in a cooperative relationship with 'Xinguang Temple' rather than being its subordinate.

"Or is it intentional to confuse people?"

Zhao Chen put down the practice notebook and started to check other things. In the end, he obtained several volumes of practice books and some high-quality materials.

Although the quality of those skills was average, they were created by the cultivators in the cave and were unique. Therefore, Zhao Chen sold half of them to the Star Chariot to earn "star coins" and put the other half into his own "collection space" as his own "collection".

As a “collector”, when I encounter something that interests me, I will try my best to buy it no matter how valuable it is.

Although Zhao Chen has not yet summed up the specific "acting" method at this stage, he is actively making various attempts.

After dealing with the storage bag of "Moon Ghost", Zhao Chen simply took out the apology gift from Hu Shan and inspected it - he had not opened it on the spot before because he wanted to maintain his "class".

However, the results of the inspection made Zhao Chen overjoyed.

Because there is a piece of "Tai Chi Xuan Gang" in this storage bag!
This is the prerequisite spell for practicing the complete "Senluo Wanxiang" magical power, the last bit of energy he lacks.

He had sent so many friends and men to investigate but got no news, yet he got it here.

"Hmm... Riquan Country and Yuequan Country seem to be adjacent to each other. With this special 'cave heaven', it is not impossible that the 'Taiji Xuan Gang' was born at the intersection of the water sources on the border of the two countries..."

After excitedly hiding the energy, Zhao Chen calmed down his excitement and went to the beheaded corpse. He "sold" it to the Xingcha, "redeemed" it, and then buried it under a nearby slope.

——If Zhao Chen currently wants the "ownership" of a person or thing and wants it to become a "commodity", he still has to rely on the power of "Xingcha", either to obtain it under its "notarization" or through the "sell-redeem" method.

The former is generally used on living things that can communicate, while the latter is applicable to "dead things".

The reason why he turned this refined corpse into a "commodity" was to leave a "positioning".

"I've been here for so long, but I haven't seen any of Yuequan Country's other evil 'insiders' or their subordinates come over to check. Does that mean they don't really care about leaks anymore?
"That's right, their plans have already been successful in a sense, so there's no need to hide it anymore.

"What they need to do now is to create chaos and make the Sima family monks who are left behind in the cave distracted, so that they can achieve their goals more easily.

"Leaving this corpse here, if it is recovered, it can just be used to 'locate' their base... When I get the 'Great Sun Lamp', if there is still time left, I can help the Sima family and reduce their losses.

"Although this is their own 'calamity', I am here to take advantage of them after all, so I still have to do something to repay the 'karma'.

"I guess the other disciples from the noble families and upper sects who come here to seek opportunities will do the same - and this is also the result that the Sima family's 'Shengxuan' ancestor wants to see."

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen did not delay any longer, and separated his spirit to enter the "Great Sun Star Raft", wearing the "Cloud Sky Golden Crow Crown", and let the shadow of the "Key of Morning Light" appear in reality. The next moment, a dark door in the void opened, revealing the dark passage behind it.

Under normal circumstances, if I opened a "black domain channel" in someone else's cave, it would be discovered immediately. But now, because there is no "Dongxuan" real person to control the cave center, and all the "military commanders" are dealing with external enemies, no one cares about my little thing.

Seeing that the "Black Domain Channel" was opened normally, Zhao Chen was relieved. After all, this meant that he could escape at any time before the "Shengxuan" ancestor of the Sima family returned.

……

Yuequan Country, Tianhu Palace.

Bai Nongmei, who was disguised as a maid, originally wanted to find an opportunity to leave the palace of the "Dongxuan" master and meet up with her own son, so as to avoid being unable to leave after the "Fox Fairy" came back...

But who would have thought that this palace was so loose on the outside but tight on the inside, and all the exits were guarded by powerful monks, making it extremely difficult to get out.

It was as if some great secret was hidden here, so that anyone who wanted to go out had to undergo strict inspection.

This time Bai Nongmei didn't dare to test it rashly, and began to play the role of a maid diligently and responsibly, waiting for the young master to finish his business before doing anything else.

She was very confident in Zhao Chen. After all, he was a man who could gain benefits from several incarnations of "Shengxuan".

Just as Bai Nongmei was thinking about her own son, the female official next to the "Fairy of the Sky Fox" came to the room where the maids lived, clapped her hands and said, "The king has come to our Sky Fox Palace. Put down your work and go to the main hall to serve."

The ruler? The ruler of Yuequan?
Bai Nongmei, who had just received news from the young master that the king was very likely controlled by the evil spirit of "Xinguang Temple", was startled and felt that the King of Yuequan coming to Tianhu Palace at this critical juncture might be very problematic.

But the female official's urging left Bai Nongmei no time to think, so she had to blend in with the maids and walk towards the main hall.

……

The capital of Xingquan Kingdom, Xinghe City.

Feng Wuxian looked towards the royal city in the distance, and saw a huge hand reaching down from the sky. It directly pulled up the entire pool of clear spring water with scattered starlight in the city, and then poured it into a gourd that looked only the size of a palm.

Seeing this, Sima Jinglan, the ruler of Xingquan Country, shouted in a timid tone, "Senior, you entered my cave and took my treasure spring. Aren't you afraid that my ancestor will come back for revenge?"

The rulers of the seven countries in Dongtian are generally those descendants of the Sima family who have only cultivated middle and low-level magical powers and whose spiritual paths have been cut off. It is commendable that Sima Jinglan can speak in front of the real person "Dongxuan".

The owner of the sky-covering hand laughed and said, "Hey, don't use your ancestor to pressure me. I only want this spring water, and I don't plan to take the 'treasure' that created this spring water.

"If your ancestors knew about this, they would probably thank me for showing mercy!"

As he spoke, he threw the almost dried-up "pond" back into the distance, then grabbed the gourd and shook it, saying:
"I've been drooling over this 'Starlight Treasure Spring' for a long time. Normally, when I exchanged it with your Sima family, you were stingy and only gave me a little. This time, I'm going to get as much as I can!"

After he finished speaking, the big hand disappeared, but the chaos in Xinghe City began.
