The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1033 Elixir and Cauldron

Yunzhou, Mad Bull Mountain.

Mad Bull Mountain is not a single mountain, but a mysterious mountain range stretching for thousands of miles.

This place is densely forested and crisscrossed by ravines, and is known as "Yunzhou Insect Valley".

The majestic and beautiful Crazy Bull Mountain winds and twists, resembling the most beautiful painting when viewed from the air.

At that moment, amidst the picturesque scenery, two slender figures suddenly leaped up, passed each other, and then collapsed to the ground simultaneously.

A moment later, one of them managed to sit up, revealing a pretty face with a mysterious allure—it was Fei Meng.

Her clothes were mostly destroyed, leaving only a long robe of magical artifact level to cover her body, which showed how fierce the attack had just taken.

Her opponent was in even worse shape, barely able to breathe.

Looking somewhat disheveled, Qi Feimeng poured a drop of nectar from the bottle in her hand. She drank two-thirds of it herself and fed one-third to her opponent.

The woman was a young woman whose beauty could not be concealed even though her face was covered in mud and filth.

"If I hadn't ascended to become the 'Wonderful Goddess,' I really wouldn't have been able to deal with 'her' incarnation..."

"It's a pity that although this woman is destined to be with me, she is not meant to die. She cannot become my incarnation for the time being, so I can only mark her for now."

"However, we still need to examine her relevant memories..."

With that thought in mind, she extended her fair finger and touched the other person's brow.

After a moment, Qi Feimeng frowned and muttered to herself:
"Has she once again navigated a historical mystery?"

"I'm falling behind quite a bit... Fortunately, my mission with Erlang isn't going to be over for much longer."

"Moreover, with Erlang around, the quality of my missions will be much higher, and I'll catch up sooner or later!"
"However, her previous mission was quite interesting, the 'between life and death'? I've never heard of such a place before..."

"Huh? 'She's' Guanyin power in this incarnation has been devoured?! No wonder it was so easy to deal with."

"Moreover, the original owner actually benefited from the misfortune and is regaining control of the body..."

"This can't just be a coincidence. It's not like the child in the 'between life and death' did it on purpose... Is this the reward for the reward?"

"Yes, someone used 'her' incarnation to help that world escape the fog of history."

"It seems that the investors behind 'her' also have their own agendas."

As Fei Meng was pondering, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.

This man had a face like jade, and was extremely handsome. His only flaw was that he had no hair and wore an iron band on his head. He was none other than Jin Cun'en, the traitor of the Flower Goddess Sect, known as "Flowing Light Flower Night".

As soon as he appeared, he bowed to Fei Meng and said, "My lord, the King of Qin has walked into the trap himself."

Upon hearing this, Fei Meng turned her head to look at him and nodded slightly, saying, "Well done, you deserve a reward... Today, I'll reward you by letting you hear the voice of the 'Flower Goddess' for one minute."

Jin Cun'en was both surprised and delighted, and almost choked up as he said, "Thank you for your grace, my lord."

Seeing her like this, Fei Meng's impression of the Flower Goddess worsened for some reason, but she still endured her discomfort and asked in detail about the process of deceiving the King of Qin.

……

"Demon of Knowledge"... "Vermin of Civilization"? These terms don't sound like something from Great Xia, and even the Western world doesn't have anything similar. A product from another dimension?

Moreover, this little boy was able to sense my previous spying with the "Sky-Gazing and Earth-Measuring Divine Mirror"... Is he really a being of the "Ascension" rank?
As Zhao Chen was pondering, he heard the little boy continue, "As for this place, it is a world located between the Xuan Tian and the Yin Shi, which I call the 'Gap Between Life and Death'."

"However, more strictly speaking, this place is actually a cave world that was transformed after a supreme treasure fell."

He paused briefly, then added, "Including that Hibiscus Peak outside, it's all one of them."

A narrow space between life and death? A grotto-world that emerged after the fall of a supreme treasure?
No wonder the laws governing heaven and earth here are almost identical to those of Xuan Tian…

But is Furong Peak also part of it?
While Zhao Chen was pondering all this, he suddenly remembered some "historical allusions" from his previous life, so he tentatively asked, "I heard that in ancient times, this Furong Peak was also called 'Mount Fuji' or 'Mount Immortal' by the natives of Yingzhou?"
"Yes, it got its name because a Taoist priest named Xu Fu once refined an elixir of immortality on this mountain..."

"So, is the treasure you mentioned a pill-refining furnace or a medicine cauldron?"

As he said this, Zhao Chen glanced at the top of the little boy's head.

The large cauldron he brought back, which was close to a supreme treasure, was tied in the other person's hair bun. How could he not suspect his identity?

The little boy tore off a piece of the roasted meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said with a smile, "You actually know this story? No wonder you're destined to be associated with the Star God."

"That's right, the mountains outside are formed from the fragments of the cauldron, and this is the broken cave inside the cauldron."

"The 'Eight Trigrams Cauldron' you brought back is only a part of the treasure; I lent it to a distinguished guest who visited before."

As he spoke, the little boy looked up at Zhao Chen and said with a smile, "Since you brought it back, I won't pursue the matter of you spying on me before, and I can answer three questions for you."

"Yes, what I told you before was a free gift."

Although his voice was still young, his tone carried an undeniable authority.

Even without any pressure, Zhao Chen dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Three questions? He thought for a moment, then asked, "Could you tell me more about your background?"

The little boy was slightly taken aback by what he heard, then laughed and said, "You really are a sly one, but I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you something."

He took another bite of meat, swallowed it, and then slowly said, "The story you heard is correct. Xu Fu was indeed ordered to come here to refine elixirs because this place was once the dwelling place of the Yellow Phoenix, where its essence and blood were left behind."

As the little boy spoke, he looked into Zhao Chen's eyes with a half-smile and said, "Is this your target?"

There was nothing to hide. Zhao Chen nodded slightly, saying nothing more, just nodded.

"Not bad..." The little boy smiled with satisfaction, then pointed to the boys and girls in the yard, "These 'knowledge demons' are actually just supplementary ingredients, used to adjust the nature and increase the foundation."

Then, he changed the subject and asked meaningfully, "Now, do you know my background?"

"He's even playing the riddle game now... What do I know?" Zhao Chen thought to himself, but outwardly appeared surprised and asked, "You're not Xu Fu, are you?"

Another imposter? Or perhaps a visitor from another dimension?

The little boy grinned, as if he had pulled off a prank, then suddenly straightened up and said, "No! I am a 'miracle pill' that has been refined, and I am also the Yellow Phoenix Essence Blood you want!"

"Since Xu Fu is the name of the mountain outside, it means that he is actually the medicine cauldron."

"Because not only did Xu Fu refine me, but I also refined him into a supreme treasure!"
