The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 824 Zhou Sheng and Wu Hao

"Not a human?" Zhao Chen blinked. "It can't be a demon or a monster, right?"

He could only think of these two types of things that were not "human". As for other "sea creatures" or "fairies", they were even rarer... and if he had to say, they could also be classified as "evil spirits" or "demons".

"It's not a demon... but calling it a 'demon' is not accurate either... Well, to put it simply, this Master Zhou Sheng used a unique method to 'refine' his own soul into a mechanical puppet in order to prolong his life.

"The life form is similar to those 'army commanders' who were lucky enough not to be devoured by the 'treasure soldiers'.

"For the past hundred years, he has been devoted to 'life refinement', just to be able to refine a body of flesh and blood that is suitable for his own soul.

"And the great magical power of 'Light of the Dark Night' that can create life out of thin air and nurture souls is exactly what he pursues."

At this point, Zhong Ying suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhao Chen with a half-smile, and then said meaningfully, "Speaking of which, the great magical power of 'Dark Night Light' can also be of great use to your 'Ming Xue'. It is even very likely that it can make up for the deficiencies in her body and soul and make her a real 'human'."

You just refused to act according to the emperor's "script". Besides being unwilling to be manipulated, this was also the reason, right?
Although Zhong Ying didn't "say" the last sentence in his heart, Zhao Chen, who used the "mind-reading technique", would "hear" it. He didn't blush or feel nervous, but he changed the topic in his heart: "How do you want to bring Master Zhou Sheng into the game?"

"Since it's my idea, you don't need to worry about it. He will naturally show up where he should be tonight." Zhong Ying smiled confidently, "Just be the oriole."

After the two of them made a preliminary plan, the maid who went to get the actual goods also returned to the VIP room. Only then did Zhao Chen realize what he had just "bought" when he was "chatting" with Zhong Ying.

Six common magic tools, three one-time magical treasures, and a newly revised "List of the Six Sects and Twelve Famous Clans in Zhongzhou"...

Among the six magic weapons, five are wide-sleeved fairy robes of various styles. Their offensive and defensive performances are average, but their shapes are very beautiful. They should be very good gifts for female cultivators.

The other one is called "Wanxiang Fairy Cloud".

This is a flying magic weapon, but if it flies by itself, it will not only be slow, but also not flexible enough and cannot fly high.

But its greatest feature is that it can integrate other flying spells and magical powers into itself, using its shape to accommodate the monk's own flying spells and magical powers.

This may seem useless at first glance, but it is actually quite popular and is considered one of the best-selling signature products of "Wanbaolou".

Because it is equivalent to giving the monks' flying spells a "beautifying effect". It is a blessing for many monks who can only control the "black wind" or are surrounded by "yin energy" when they fly, like old devils.

Take Zhao Chen for example. He lost his "Liang Yi Taoist Robe" in the Sima family's cave. Now, apart from the "Shen Xing Zhou" which cannot fly high and the "Flying Tiger Divine Eagle" which is not flexible enough, the only flying spell that meets his requirements is the "Mysterious Ghost Fog" contained in the "Seven Techniques of Yin Demon".

But the person who cast the "Mysterious Mist" doesn't look like a good person at all... Therefore, Zhao Chen is very fond of this "Myriad Fairy Cloud", even though it costs as much as three thousand strings of cash, which is far more than the price of an ordinary magic weapon.

Anyway, I can just sign the bill and let Shopkeeper Jin, the emperor's purse, pay it back... The emperor is so calculating towards me, there's no need for me to save money for him, right?
After figuring out the current emperor's plan, Zhao Chen became quite open-minded and was no longer as cautious as before about spending money.

The emperor owes him this!
After all, no matter how much money he spent, it was not worth it for him to fight with the incarnation of the True Lord "Shengxuan".

It’s a pity that to buy items of truly magical power or above from “Wanbaolou” you need to make a reservation or go to auction, otherwise they will all be “swept away”.

After putting away the five pieces of clothing and the "Myriad Fairy Cloud", Zhao Chen took another quick look at the three disposable magical treasures and found that they were just offensive items. Their power was not even as strong as the "Dragon Flame Bombs" fired four times a day by the Youlong Gun. They were of no use to him, but they could be given to Mo Qiu and Ning Meng for self-defense.

As for the last book, "List of the Six Sects and Twelve Prominent Families in Zhongzhou"... Fei Meng wants me to study the methods of the major sects and prominent families in the nine provinces of Zhongyuan?
It seems that these families and sects will most likely participate in King Liang’s next journey to lift the seal... That’s right, there’s no telling how many of these guys are under King Liang’s command!

Although they didn't know what was inside the seal, at most they could send clansmen or disciples with magical powers, and they wouldn't be direct descendants...

Zhao Chen took out the "check" given by the shopkeeper Jin before going to Beijing, signed the bill "coolly", and then packed all the goods into the storage bag. Then, under the envious gazes of the other maids, he hugged Zhong Ying and walked out of "Wanbaolou" and entered a nearby hotel.

They had to put on a full show. They had just performed to the point of being extremely passionate in the VIP room, so they naturally couldn't "break up" right away... and Zhong Ying also needed some free time to make arrangements against Master Zhou Sheng.

So after the two of them entered the hotel room and confirmed that no one was watching them, they agreed on a time and sneaked out separately.

Not to mention Zhong Ying, Zhao Chen, whose appearance had changed, first went to the "blessed land fragments" of the "Xuannv Palace" to take a look at the "Nine Nether Divine Body" that was still "growing".

However, this time, perhaps because he knew that he would inevitably practice "dual cultivation" with this body, Zhao Chen's vision had something else in it, causing the other party's "inviolable" filter to lose its effect.

In short, Jiuyou Su Nu's image and figure are in line with Zhao Chen's aesthetic taste, which naturally makes him feel more expectant.

“I just don’t know who will eventually take charge of this body… However, Guan Si Niang is probably the least likely person to take charge.

"Ye Summons Qing Ling to show his heroism... Is this 'Qing Ling' referring to Qing Ling Xuan Nu, or Wang Qing Ling?

"When I first analyzed this prophetic poem, I felt that the phrase 'showing off one's heroic spirit' didn't seem quite right. I never thought that this might actually be the meaning..."

……

In the capital, inside the headquarters of the provincial government office.

Wu Hao, the "Golden Palace Minister" who had just returned to Beijing to report on his work, returned from a "cave heaven" with a frown on his face, muttering to himself silently:

"I still can't contact the Buddha... It seems that the Buddha has encountered trouble in the underworld...

"The current emperor has already taken the second 'Xuandu Trial' and has passed it. If he continues like this, he will sooner or later become the first choice for Lord Pingzhang. He is too compatible with the Xuandu Law Text, a treasure.

"I can find a reason to stop him from taking the third trial today, but I can't stop him forever...

"After all, I, 'Dongxuan', was forcibly promoted by the Buddha, and my potential has been exhausted. I am not as intimidating as Senior Brother 'Yuchan'.

"We still have to rescue Senior Brother Yuchan first!

"According to the investigation, he seemed to have disappeared while tracking a fleeing 'Dinglu'. He must have been trapped in a natural blessed land or cave, not too far from the capital.

"It shouldn't be difficult to find clues... but this will take at least a day or two, and I won't be able to personally monitor the action of King Liang removing the third seal...

"Fortunately, there are other spies planted by my senior brother around King Liang. They will be activated in a while."
