The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1014 Bird Catching
Of course, the latter two functions can only be used when wearing the "Cloud Crow Crown"... Zhao Chen sensed the various wonderful uses of the "Glassy Star Lamp" and couldn't help but ponder:
This "star lamp" is most likely used to guide the "star raft" when it is "navigating" in the starry sky or the boundary sea. So the first one is the basic function, while the latter two are extended functions that can only be "unlocked" when you have a special "identity"... For example, smuggling?
Tsk, is this starship... a legitimate merchant ship?

Zhao Chen smacked his lips, then picked up the "jade book" and turned to the last page.

And because he brought back a "Star Chariot Accessory," the name of the next stage of the rank has been revealed.

"World Inspector? What kind of name is that... The names of the ranks are as incomprehensible as ever!" Zhao Chen muttered, then turned his attention to the simpler and easier-to-understand "sequence" names that followed.

"Sequence 4, Starship Admiral"

Admiral... or rather, an admiral with ships... So, the so-called "inspector" is someone who sails ships to various worlds to "inspect" and, incidentally, open up markets and do business?

So, can the role-playing style at this stage be divided into two types: "Zheng He's voyages to the West" and "East India Company"?
While Zhao Chen was internally complaining, he didn't see the introduction to the next stage of abilities that he could "experience" in advance.

This is not surprising. Even at the supernatural power stage, one cannot "experience" it in advance, let alone at the "Dongxuan" stage, which is a fundamental improvement. Even if it were willing to give it to him, Zhao Chen might not dare to use it.

After all, "Dongxuan" involves directly confronting the laws of heaven and earth, which is not as gentle as indirectly contacting them through "supernatural powers".

To put it jokingly, most of the evil god's followers would likely be corrupted if they faced Xuan Tian's laws of heaven and earth directly!
"In general, having the 'Glass Star Lamp' will provide some safety when exploring higher-level 'other-dimensional worlds'... but it's best not to go there unless absolutely necessary..."

"However, the current 'Star River Transporter' stage is fine, but the subsequent 'World Inspector' stage will obviously require me to 'inspect' other worlds!"
"Hmm... perhaps it's time to start cultivating the 'Mysterious Heart Avatar Seal' that I obtained from the Zheng family..."

"Judging from the effect of Qingling using it to control the 'Nine Nether Divine Body', this supernatural power is still very practical, especially since I can obtain other people's 'fate' and 'identity'. The biggest difficulty of this supernatural power is not a problem for me."

"Also, perhaps it can be improved..."

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen thought of his "mother" and "elder brother," who shared the same origin as the original owner of the body, and could even be considered one entity. This gave him a glimmer of inspiration.

He didn't want to follow his cheap "grandfather's" advice to complete himself, since the original body had already disappeared from the moment he was born.

He is who he is, and he needs nothing else to complete him!
However, this "connection" can be utilized.

After leaving the "Star Chariot" and returning to reality, Zhao Chen once again buried himself in studying the various supernatural abilities, secret techniques, and moves that he hadn't had time to master before—his attention in the past few days had been entirely focused on creating moves, leaving limited energy for other aspects.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun sets and night falls.

Wearing increasingly revealing clothes, Ming Hongyue entered the manor's bath area and walked straight through the array into the lounge where she had spent several nights.

Meanwhile, Zhao Chen finished his full day of cultivation and began making final preparations to deal with the "birdman" while maintaining a relaxed exterior.

Now on the fourth night, Zhao Chen had not only figured out the exact location of that "birdman" through several nights of in-depth contact with the princess, but also used his daily dose of "sky-peeping and earth-measuring" to confirm that the other party was unprepared tonight. Since that was the case, Zhao Chen naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by!
"First of all, for the safety of Red Moon, the recovery techniques from the three major demonic sects, namely 'Blood Painting Sacrifice Palace,' 'Hundred Refinements Strengthening Soul Palace,' and 'White Jade Misty Pavilion,' must be prepared in advance to ensure that any backlash from the 'Birdman' in terms of essence, energy, or spirit can be remedied in time."

"Secondly, the only first-grade divine ability that 'Heavenly Demon Formless' can use, 'Demon Cloud Light,' must also be kept on standby at all times... I haven't truly mastered this divine ability yet, so I can't use it at will... It can only rewind one second, so I have to make the most of the timing."

"Finally, we must take precautions against contamination in advance, lest the 'birdman' become desperate and forcibly reveal his Dharma form... I can fight this hard even with a single Dharma, there's no reason why a Dao Lord can't—even if the 'birdman' is just a wisp of the Dao Lord's false divine thought, at a level no higher than a supernatural power!"

Shortly after completing these preparations, Zhao Chen returned to the bedside and saw the princess rush into his arms as she had done in the previous days.

Even before reaching the final step, this girl was already somewhat engrossed in it.

The beauty of the Great Dao of "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" is unparalleled in its allure to Hongyue.

Zhao Chen patted her back and skillfully unbuttoned her clothes. Then, he easily pulled her down and kissed her.

But these are just appearances. In reality, his magic has silently infiltrated every corner of the inner world of the Red Moon, completing the encirclement of the "birdman" deep within its spirit.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Chen did not hesitate at all. With a thought, he launched the long-prepared surprise attack.

The next moment, the "Binding Ring of Law" was activated, prohibiting the "Birdman" from communicating with the laws and preparing to distort its response at any time.

Immediately afterwards, the "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" supernatural power was attached to Ming Hongyue's inner world. The beauty of the Great Dao filled the nine orifices, suppressing the pollution originating from the evil god, so that even if they suddenly erupted, they could not easily break through, becoming an aid to the "Birdman".

Then, relying on the results of several days of "investigation," the "Demon King Binding" supernatural power accurately located the "birdman" who claimed to be Emperor Shaohao, instantly imprisoned him, and captured him.

Only when it came to this point did the "birdman" seem to realize what was happening and try to manipulate the laws to resist, but it was too late!

Because Zhao Chenlu's inherent "forced transaction" ability had already been activated, it tyrannically altered its causal, fate, and other attributes until it "bought" all of its ownership.

This is his real trump card, and also the core ability of a "trade officer"!

However, based on the principle of reciprocity, as a bargaining chip in the forced transaction, Zhao Chen would permanently lose a superior divine ability he had learned.

Therefore, after feeling the knowledge and experience related to the second-grade divine power "Heavenly Demon Finger" completely disappear from his soul, Zhao Chen knew that he had succeeded.

At this moment, Ming Hongyue, whose inner world was filled with the "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" effect, murmured somewhat confusedly:
"So this is what 'Jade Maiden Pouring Five Fragrances' means..."
