The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1029 Qiongniang and Peiniang

Ningzhou, Xingqing Prefecture, a detached house in the southern part of the city.

After successfully "tricking" Feng Qing with the secret realm, Zhao Chen, Gong Yun, and Qiong Niang spent several days living a secluded life there.

After all, the Feng family's ancestral home had been burglarized, resulting in significant losses. In their anger, they searched everywhere for the thieves, causing a great uproar throughout the city.

The fact that the Bai family remained steadfast in their defense, and that the Guo family chose to back down at this critical juncture, only emboldened the Feng family.

This led to increasing chaos in the city, and even resulted in the massacre of several minor monk families.

It wasn't until Guo Jingyuan, the "Hua Xuan Zhenren" from the Guo family, returned this morning that the city finally regained some order.

In the lobby on the first floor, Zhao Chen's "Mu Zirong" clone was demonstrating the cultivation method of "The Three Evil Blades of the Azure Sky" to Qiong Niang.

Although the most crucial aspect of cultivating magic is refining the corresponding elemental energy, if one cannot master the techniques associated with the magic, understand the optimal characteristics of magical power to wield the magic, and make appropriate adjustments, it is still possible to cultivate a magic but find it difficult to use.

After all, the quality of the true qi in the main cultivation method of a small sect like Qiongniang is generally not high. She cannot suppress it with an absolutely strong foundation or directly cover up the conflict between cultivation methods and spells like the disciples of the upper sects and aristocratic families.

For example, the "Five Immortals' True Qi" can encompass all laws, and even demons and magic can be approached without any obstruction.

This is also why disciples of major sects can choose from a wide range of spells, while independent cultivators often can't even produce a single supernatural power... The latter don't have a good solution for spells with serious conflicts, and once they master them, they end up wasting their spell slots.

"The Three Evil Blades, namely Dragon Fang, Tiger Wing, and Dog God, are fierce, vicious, and even entangled with various curses, but the intention of this method itself is extremely 'righteous'."

"It is a divine power that uses a fair and just heart to wield an evil and vicious blade to fight evil with evil and kill evildoers."

“I observe that your magic contains the aura of lightning. Although it lacks profoundness and is of low quality, lightning itself is extremely righteous and yang. As long as you do not have evil thoughts when casting spells, you can barely control these three evil blades.”

As Zhao Chen explained, he used his "Thousand Character Classic" supernatural power to summon the physical "Evil Dog Blade" for Qiong Niang to examine closely.

Speaking of which, when Zhao Chen offered to teach Qiong Niang a cultivation method of a fourth-grade supernatural power a few days ago, the latter was both eager and hesitant.

How could a pie fall from the sky for no reason? If Madam Zhao hadn't been there, Qiongniang would have almost thought this person was coveting her beauty.

It wasn't until Zhao Chen spoke frankly with her, saying he wanted to use this opportunity to study the "treasure" in her inner world, that Qiong Niang, whose "secret" had been exposed, agreed with some shame.

After all, she initially stood up for Manager Xin, but in the blink of an eye, she took possession of the man's "family heirloom"—although it wasn't intentional on her part, that's how it appeared to others.

And she kept it a secret...

Being called out to her face is certainly shameful for a young girl who hasn't been through much inexperience.

If it were the "little black cat," who had long been trained by the "spirit of the blessed land" to be shameless, it would probably be able to say with a clear conscience, "The treasure will be obtained by the destined one."

After these few days of interaction, although Zhao Chen hadn't been able to figure out the details of the thing inside her inner world, he made an unexpected discovery—

That is, this girl named Qiongniang mainly cultivates the same technique as her own "Flower Fairy" Fang Peiniang, namely "Thunder Extreme Arc Light". However, Fang Peiniang's magic power has been greatly enhanced under the blessing of "Hundred Flowers Manual", and its quality is far superior to Qiongniang's.

After some questioning, it was learned that Qiongniang was actually Fang Peiniang's "third sister." Her main purpose in traveling this time, besides searching for suitable magic spells, was to find Fang Peiniang's whereabouts. However, Zhao Chen did not reveal Fang Peiniang's matter to Qiongniang for the time being. After all, the "Hundred Flowers Manual" had been "upgraded" because of his "enlightenment," and the "flower fairies" were currently in seclusion, so it was impossible to arrange for them to meet.

"These Fang sisters seem to have a special connection with the 'Flower Goddess'... Pei Niang was captured by the Flower Goddess Sect's supernatural powers, and although the details of what's inside Qiong Niang's inner world are still unknown, just by looking at its effects, we know it's inextricably linked to the 'Flower Goddess'!"

"Hmm... they aren't really sisters. They're actually just orphans adopted by that eldest sister, 'Huan Niang'... some kind of fateful union?"

"However, why are they all gathered around me again? Although I also have a special connection with the 'Flower Goddess'... after all, one tends to approach 'flowers'."

While Zhao Chen was muttering to himself, Qiong Niang was studying quite diligently.

It's rare to have a cultivator with supernatural powers perform a ritual, which is a great opportunity for a "rogue cultivator" like her, so of course she has to seize it!

It's worth mentioning that this little girl has good comprehension skills; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to forcefully use the "Sunset Surging Waves Sword" without having mastered its innate technique.

How long had it been since she received the "translation" from the "Taoist Master Xuantan"? She had already grasped some of the true meaning of magic; calling her a genius wouldn't be an exaggeration.

It was because her cultivation technique was too ordinary, and she had never had a suitable spell, that she was almost captured by a group of Qi Refining martial artists.

Fang Peiniang was similar. Even though she obtained a part of a star raft by chance, it was still amazing that she could perfect a technique that directly leads to supernatural powers from scratch.

As the two taught and learned, time flew by, and it was already evening. Gong Yun, who had gone out to gather information, returned to the small building at this time.

Upon her return, Zhao Chen took the opportunity to end the lesson. Qiong Niang, with her keen insight, stepped forward to take the various ingredients from Gong Yun's hands and went to the kitchen to cook by herself.

"Any new news?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.

Gong Yun nodded: "The news was personally released by the Guo family's master, saying that Feng Qing obtained the greatest benefit in the secret realm, while he only brought back a withered divine tree."

"Most of the formations I set up in the secret realm have been cleared away by Master Guo. He announced that the secret realm will be open to the public starting tomorrow. Anyone can enter to seek opportunities as long as they pay the entrance fee..."

"In addition, rumors are spreading throughout the city that the Guo family is going to join forces with the Bai family to hold the Feng family accountable for the chaos that occurred in Xingqing Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Guo Jingyuan is still not giving up and is planning to force Feng Qing to show herself..."

"Is he really that interested in that secret realm?"

Gong Yun looked puzzled and said, "I only just found out that the secret realm is connected to the Guo family..."

Seeing her expression, Zhao Chen thought for a moment and then realized, "You asked your 'master' a question again?"

Although her master is actually Zhao Chen, the "Spirit of Blessed Land" of Tianhe Blessed Land is currently acting as her intermediary...

No wonder she'd been gone for so long; it seems the spirit of that blessed land had given her another "task" to test her shamelessness.
