The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1054 Unexpected Twists and Turns?

"Rain Erodes the Heart of the Crabapple Tree," a fifth-grade supernatural power of the curse category.

Spring rain erodes the soul, and crabapple blossoms devour the heart. They amplify the desires of others, gradually driving them mad and insane until their souls, like withered crabapple blossoms, are completely consumed by their desires and transformed into monsters.

"Tears of the Tang Dynasty Return to Spring" restores a fifth-grade supernatural power.

It does not heal the physical body or cure the bones and blood; it only heals the wounds of the spirit, resolving the desires caused by the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. However, those who accept this supernatural healing must have a firm resolve; otherwise, they will be eroded by the attachments contained within, consumed by lust, as if falling into the fire of karma.

"Begonia in Spring Slumber," a sixth-grade supernatural power of the hallucinatory type.

This supernatural power can induce a state of intoxication and illusion. It can be used in conjunction with "Flower Blooming Moment". If the user drinks "Seven Emotions Illusion Wine", the effect will be even greater.

……

Even Dong Caiyu was able to comprehend two supernatural techniques in one night, so how could Zhao Chen, who has even better "talent," not have gained anything?

So he recorded all the erotic and sexual supernatural powers he had learned into the "Myriad Manifestations of the Universe" Great Supernatural Power, for future use.

Although one can use the profound principles of communication, it is similar to the need to "accumulate momentum" to activate sword-type supernatural powers. Even if one learns a non-innate supernatural power due to high talent, it is impossible to activate it instantly. It always requires a little "brewing" time, and sometimes even requires the coordination of incantations, gestures, etc.

However, recording "All Things in the Universe" is different. Although its power may be slightly reduced, it can be activated instantly like a natal divine power.

After sorting through the night's gains, Zhao Chen, feeling refreshed, dressed, removed the array, and leisurely walked out of the room toward the main hall of Fengyin Pavilion.

—As a descendant of the "Joyful" lineage, I believe that dual cultivation is far more effective in restoring energy and spirit than simply resting.

On the way, Zhao Chen encountered Yu Huai, another "witness" designated by Ling Wei. He was accompanied by two young men, both of whom were supernatural cultivators, but judging from the strength of their spiritual sense, neither of them were of the highest rank.

Yu Huai's injuries had healed. Upon seeing Zhao Chen, he immediately stepped forward to greet him and said cheerfully, "Young Master, you look quite well today. It's obvious that something good has happened to you."

It's a good thing, after all, the taste of "the Way of Desire" is not bad... Zhao Chen joked in his heart, but smiled and said on the surface: "Old Yu, your spirits are also very good, it seems that your vitality has been restored."

As he said this, he glanced at the two young men beside Old Yu, vaguely sensing that they seemed to be somewhat hostile towards him, so he asked, "May I ask who these two friends are?"

"I forgot to introduce you, young master." Yu Huai feigned annoyance, then pointed to one of the long-haired men dressed in a dark blue outfit and classical attire, saying, "This is Chen Jiulang, the 'Nine-Bend Spirit Deer' of the Kashima Chen family."

As he spoke, he pointed to another stylishly dressed man with a buzz cut, "And this one is the young master of the Giant Whale Sect, 'Whale Tooth Armor' Mai Xikong."

“Their fathers were all formal members of the ‘Fuhai Chamber of Commerce’ and were good friends of mine.”

The Kashima Tatsumi family? Hmm, they seem to be a local powerful clan in Kashima. There are about seven or eight cultivators with supernatural powers in the clan, the strongest of whom is Chen Fan, known as "Wan Yu Lang Xing," who possesses the third-grade supernatural power "Lu Hai Zheng Ming."

Chen Fan has more than twenty children, and Chen Jiulang is one of them. I remember he has a low-grade divine power... If his nickname is "Nine-Bend Spirit Deer", could it be that he used a movement technique for "escape"... no, for "traveling"?

The "Whale Faction" is much larger, with members on many coastal islands. However, this faction is loosely organized and, despite its large number of members, lacks cohesion.

The Mai family has controlled the headquarters of the Giant Whale Sect for over a hundred years, but this young sect leader, Mai Xikong, seems to be only a mid-level cultivator. After all, "Whale Transformation Tooth Armor" isn't actually a nickname, but rather a fifth-grade divine ability from the Giant Whale Sect's true teaching technique, "Sea Inscription Whale Transformation Technique." The lack of a nickname suggests he hasn't yet made a name for himself in the martial world, so he can only rely on his divine abilities to maintain appearances?
Ha, whether it's the Giant Whale Sect or the Kashima Chen family, their apparent power is much stronger than the Wind Chant Pavilion, but their foundation is far inferior! After all, neither of these families has ever produced a "Dongxuan" True Person.

I'm afraid they've already set their sights on Fengyin Pavilion's most prized treasure... Are they planning to gradually take over Fengyin Pavilion by forming a marriage alliance with Dong Caiyu, Bai Xue, and Fu Man? No wonder they seem somewhat hostile towards me; they're treating me as a potential enemy.

Before last night, I wouldn't have bothered, but now...

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and greeted the two men politely: "I have long admired your reputation. I am honored to meet you."

"Young Master Wang, you are too kind. It is our honor to meet you here..." Chen Jiulang and Mai Xikong did not dare to be negligent and greeted him.

Even if they were wary of the person in front of them, they dared not, and were unwilling to, antagonize a superior-level divine power capable of fighting giant beasts.

Moreover, this superior divine ability comes from a top-tier noble family.

The scenario of provoking a love rival, a plot from a classic novel, is unlikely to happen in reality. After all, someone who can cultivate supernatural powers wouldn't be a fool...

After exchanging a few more polite words, the group entered the "Azure Cloud Palace" together.

As soon as Mai and Chen stepped into this seemingly boundless ancient building, their eyes lit up because their beloved "Shuoyun Zhuifeng" Dong Caiyu took the initiative to greet them.

The two immediately stepped forward to fawn over her, but Dong Caiyu merely nodded coldly at them before walking past them to Zhao Chen. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Young Master, you've arrived? Please, you and Senior Yu, take your seats."

After saying that, she turned her reluctant gaze to Yu Huai.

Yu Huai was a shrewd old man, how could he not see through the trick? But he pretended not to know and said cheerfully, "Then please lead the way, Dong girl."

However, Mai Xikong and Chen Jiulang immediately put away their disappointed expressions and regained their anticipation, saying that Dong Caiyu was just doing her duty and was not deliberately ignoring them.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen felt a little sorry for the two of them. After all, this woman who had been so indifferent to them had been with him last night...

Well, to be honest, Dong Caiyu's skills are just so-so, not even close to the "socialites" Zhao Chen had seen in his previous life who cultivated a persona.

But these two men's parents probably never imagined that their children's "level" would be in the sewers.
Perhaps they think that this kind of "pure" person is more likely to gain trust? Anyway, when they want to seize the foundation of Fengyin Pavilion in the future, all they need is a pretext.

Looking back now, the moves made by these mid-level forces are actually quite interesting and worth studying.

As Zhao Chen pondered, he followed Dong Caiyu to the VIP seats, where an unfamiliar elderly man was already seated.

Upon seeing him, Zhao Chen immediately sensed a slight change in the "aura" of the entire palace.

"It seems that the matter of the 'palace master's' succession may encounter unexpected complications..."

When Ling Wei asked me to be her witness, did she already know this?
"The divine weapons of the Wind Whisper Pavilion are really hard to obtain!"
