The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 737 Power, Money and Fame

The Dongtian world is a small world that depends on the existence of Xuantian. It has two main sources: one is the natural creation of Xuantian, and the other is the opening up of the True Lord "Shengxuan".

Needless to say, the latter is either occupied by the True Lord alone, or becomes the foundation of an aristocratic family or a senior sect, which no one else can interfere with.

But the former is different. Since it was conceived naturally, all kinds of rare treasures left over from the "creation of the world" are almost all intact in the cave. It has to be said that Wang Qingling was really lucky to be able to discover the entrance to this cave.

Unfortunately, when she entered, that small world had already been polluted by an unknown terror, and there was no place for intelligent creatures such as humans in this vast world.

"However, the human race in that cave world has not been extinct. They are huddled together in mobile cities based on 'divine weapons' and are struggling to survive, trying to avoid the increasingly dangerous and terrifying evil.

"Not long after I entered the cave, I encountered a mobile city called 'Xingyao City' and blended into it.

"It was fine at first, but I soon discovered that there were undercurrents in 'Xingyao City', and people's emotions gradually became unstable... After careful investigation, I found out that there were rumors that the 'divine weapons' of other mobile cities turned into evil spirits, which then polluted the entire city and no one survived.

"People are becoming more and more panicked, and some even suggest abandoning the magic weapons altogether and simply using 'steam' as the power to drive the city.

"As the rumors spread, I realized that someone might be behind it. For my own safety, I secretly investigated and found that a sect that believed in the so-called 'Lord of Greed' was spreading the news, making people increasingly distrustful of the 'divine soldiers' that protected the city.

"Just when I was about to secretly submit the results of my investigation to the top management of Xingyao City, I didn't expect that the 'divine weapon' would actually degenerate into an 'evil spirit', and in just a moment it completely polluted the entire city.

“No matter whether they are ordinary people or cultivators, they all seem extremely insignificant in front of the power of the divine weapon that has transformed into the appearance of the ‘Zhongtian Ziwei Emperor’.

“Even the city lord, the real person ‘Dong Xuan’, could not resist it, and could only rely on the ‘Secret Treasure of Samsara’ to escape the contamination through reincarnation.

“I couldn’t escape the disaster in the first place. Even when he looked at me, my face changed!

“But my grandfather happened to come here with his magic soldiers at this time… It turned out that Wu Minde might have felt guilty, but he finally found his conscience and immediately notified my family as soon as he escaped back.

“Grandfather loved my brother and me the most, so he risked the loss of the clan’s sacred weapon and came to the outer sea in person. He used blood as a guide to find my location and rescue me.

"And Mingxue should have told you what happened next, right? I won't go into details..."

After hearing what Wang Qingling said, Zhao Chen frowned, because logically speaking, even if the "Star Raft Accessories" had a "spirit", they should not be transformed into "evil spirits" so easily.

The fact that the "Yunxiao Golden Crow Crown" has been infected by evil forces in the Wuyou Cave for so many years but has remained fine is proof of this.

After all, the status of the "Great Sun Star Raft" is definitely not low, and it may even be at the level of a Taoist master. How could it allow its "accessories" to be branded with traces of other existences?
Therefore, there must be other unknown secrets here... For example, the sect that believes in the so-called "Lord of Greed" is very suspicious!
Once you are strong enough, you have to go and explore it yourself.

I just don't know if that cave world has been destroyed... It shouldn't have been destroyed, right? Even though the Imperial Concubine said it was "on the verge of destruction", the vitality of the cave world was still extremely tenacious, and it was not so easy to destroy it. It might take hundreds or thousands of years for it to be "on the verge of destruction"...

As Zhao Chen's thoughts turned, he met Wang Qingling's expectant and anxious gaze, smiled and shook his head, saying, "I still have many doubts after listening to the description. I'm afraid I have to see the person in person."

"Is that so..." Wang Qingling was a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted her mood and continued to introduce the situation of the cave. "The entrance to the 'Urban Fortress' cave... Well, I named it. It was fixed on the sunken ship of the Wu family and was sealed by my grandfather himself. It is not easy to get in again. "And the ship sank in the East China Sea. Although it is very close to the first island chain defense line, it is also very dangerous to reach there."

Although Daxia nominally built several island chain defense lines, in reality most of its strength was placed on the first island chain constructed by large islands such as Fangzhang. The rest only served as a warning to avoid being informed of a large-scale attack in advance.

Wang Qingling took the initiative to talk about these dangers and difficulties because he was worried that Zhao Chen would go rashly and follow in his footsteps.

Knowing that the Imperial Concubine was tactfully persuading him not to commit suicide, Zhao Chen had a better impression of her, so he smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, although I like adventure, I always plan before I act, and I will only act when I am sure.

"And according to your description just now, I will never go near that place before I am promoted to 'Dongxuan'."

If someone else said that it was so easy to be promoted to "Dongxuan", Wang Qingling would definitely think that they were arrogant. After all, she was not even sure about it when she was approaching the third ladder of supernatural powers.

But when these words came from Zhao Chen, she didn't know why and just felt it was natural.

It was as if what Mr. Chen said was the truth.

"Perhaps it was the visions that manifested in him that gave me confidence?" Wang Qingling thought for a moment, then said, "When you plan to go to the 'Urban Fortress' cave in the future, you might as well ask me to come with you so that I can be your guide."

"I will definitely not forget you by then... and before that, we will probably have to meet every few months to deal with the pollution that has accumulated on your face." Zhao Chen pointed at Wang Qingling's pretty face and said with a smile, "You don't want to go back to your previous 'Ancient God' appearance, do you?"

The Imperial Concubine's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then she thought that even if the other party had the ability to solve the "pollution" that she had transferred away, it would not be without a price. A verbal promise was still too thin, and she had to find a way to give real compensation.

For young practitioners, apart from the progress of their own cultivation, what they care about are nothing more than the four words "power, money, fame and sex".

But judging from the intelligence we have gathered, this "Blood Sword Man" currently lacks nothing.

In terms of power, he is valued by the legitimate daughter of Zheng family and has the backing of a noble family. In fact, his words are more effective than those empty-headed princes in the capital.

Speaking of money, this man's ordinary clothes are worth hundreds of strings of coins. Now that he has won the favor of the queen, he may be short of big money, but he will never be short of small money.

But Wang Qingling couldn't afford the big money herself.

As for fame, Master Chen doesn't seem to be keen on it, otherwise, with the strength he showed today, he would have become famous long ago.

They are definitely much stronger than the "Six Young Masters of the Central Plains" or "Thirteen Famous Swordsmen of Kyushu" that are promoted by those prominent families and major sects.

Finally, there is “color”…
