The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 866 Persistence
As early as ten days ago, when Prince Liang, who was tracking down the whereabouts of the "strange mailbox", was about to reach the "Tiangong Pavilion", the Emperor hinted that he could release the news that the "strange mailbox" was in his hands.

In order to make more money, Zhao Chen naturally chose the "auction" format which could raise the price higher.

However, since he was going to hold an "auction", Zhao Chen decided to make it a big one, and mix the "spooky mailbox" in it so that it would not be noticeable, so as not to make King Liang think that he was deliberately targeting him.

To this end, Zhao Chen not only searched through his own collection and took out many good things, but also made the Emperor, Concubine Ning, and even the Empress spend money. When combined with the treasures that Johnson had collected himself, it could be said to be a grand event.

Since the last three items have certain effects on "Dongxuan", I'm afraid that real people from other states will enter the country to participate at that time.

After listening to Johnson's report on the progress of the "auction", Zhao Chen asked with interest: "Among the last three items, the wisp of 'Black Phoenix Demon Fire' that I provided should be included, right? What are the other two?"

Although the seeds of the "Black Phoenix Demon Fire" were planted by Zhao Chen into the body of Hayley Phoenix, the eldest daughter of the "Phoenix" family, to assist her in nirvana and rebirth, she unexpectedly became the "Empress", but before that, Zhao Chen still intercepted a few "flowers" and collected them as fire sources.

"One of them is the mysterious 'strange object' that Concubine Ning took out. As for the last one, I will keep it a secret and cannot tell you now." Johnson smiled mysteriously.

A "strange thing" at the level of Dongxuan? Concubine Ning is indeed related to the "Strange Realm"... In other words, the moon, especially the blood moon, is closely related to the "Strange Realm".

Zhao Chen was thinking about something, and asked casually: "What is the time and location of the auction?"

"I have reserved a private room for you at Kyoto's First Theater tomorrow evening," Johnson said flatteringly.

Half a month later, the emperor's rewards to Zhao Chen's friends had all been delivered. This undoubtedly brought a huge shock to many people. Even the "Prince Zhao Chen theory" that had been dormant became popular again.

Feng Daoyun, who was promoted inexplicably, and the younger brother of the Tang family, who was admitted to Kyoto College for no reason, were a little confused and had no idea what was going on.

Johnson felt that even if this Young Master Chen was not a prince, he must be highly regarded by the Emperor and was a nobleman whom he needed to curry favor with.

"Very good." Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction. Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is there any new news about the duel between Master Yuchan and Master Yue of the Miefa Sect?"

Johnson shook his head and said, "How can it be that easy for Master Dongxuan to fight in public? From the early mediation, to the subsequent search for witnesses, selection of venues, agreement on the fight stakes, and even inviting friends to help, etc.... In the past, it took several months to prepare, but this time it was already very fast.

"So far, it has been decided that the Dharma-Extermination Sect will choose the venue, and True Man Yuchan will set the time."

I guess Master Yuchan will set the time when King Liang explores the fourth secret realm!
When he challenged Yue Guiyi to a duel, he probably wanted to get clues about the "Tianhe Goddess Map" while eliminating the Emperor's helpers, but he didn't expect to get news about the mission item for obtaining the location of the fourth secret realm so soon.

Therefore, it is very likely that Master Yuchan would think that the emperor wanted to take advantage of the situation and use Yue Guiyi to hold him back so as to seize the "chess of Yaochi".

But King Liang should have shown the "fragments" I made to Master Yuchan. The latter should be able to judge that there can be no real "Yaochi Chess" in the fourth secret realm, and will only think that the emperor is either doing useless work or has other plans.

In any case, it was a good move for him to put the day of the battle on when King Liang was exploring the fourth secret realm. It could calm him down and see what the emperor was up to, and it could also try to delay the emperor's helpers...

Because he most likely will not fight the magic himself, but will keep a close eye on the emperor.

And this is exactly what the emperor wants!

As long as the emperor still covets the "Puzzle of Yaochi Qi Chess Fragments" and even uses his men to steal the fragments brought back by the "Giant Snake Warlock" from the Yu family, then at some point after the fourth secret realm is opened, if Yuchan suddenly discovers the location of the "Heavenly River Goddess Picture" by himself, he can definitely draw away the other party's attention and buy time for him to retrieve the power of the "Enlightened Beast". It can be said that Yuchan's only blind spot is that he does not know that the emperor already has partial authority over the "Puzzle of Yaochi Qi Chess".

In addition, the emperor had destroyed most of his arrangements before. Since his body was trapped in the underworld and there was no way to replenish it quickly, the high-end combat power he could use was limited, and there were many places that needed to be blocked. Once he encountered special situations such as suddenly discovering a precious physique, he would no longer be able to focus on the emperor.

Although it is an idealized layout, it is extremely useful to "Master Yuchan", or "Master Yuantong".

Because as I said before, every being above the "Dongxuan" level must have something they are attached to if they want to anchor their "human nature" and not lose control and degenerate into evil.

The worse the condition, the more necessary this "persistence" becomes, the more deeply rooted it becomes, and even the more difficult it is to suppress.

This is something that even a True Lord cannot avoid...

This can also be considered a "weakness" that every True Person and True Lord has.

Therefore, some real people will deliberately conceal the things or beliefs they are "obsessed with", while others will pretend...

As one thought after another turned around in his mind, Zhao Chen's mentality changed from relaxed to tense again.

After all, the incarnation of the True Lord "Yuchan Zhenren" will eventually be led to his side.

Although he had found a "substitute" in advance, it was likely that he would just have to watch the show...

……

After saying goodbye to Johnson, Zhao Chen returned to his "home" with the newly acquired materials and first refined the Qi as usual. After he incorporated a "Innate White Bone Capturing Technique" into the "Eight Techniques of Bone Demon", he suddenly saw Ming Xueling walking into his retreat with a grim expression.

Zhao Chen was a little surprised, because even though Xiao Ling's expressions had become more and more varied recently thanks to his efforts, and she had even learned to be "shy", it was still rare to see her with a gloomy face.

"What's going on?" Zhao Chen asked curiously and concernedly.

"It's the Fairy Qingli who is beside Gu Changhe. She wants to see you, sir." Ming Xueling said reluctantly.

She really wanted to send Fairy Qingli away, but was worried that it would delay the young master's business, so she behaved like this.

"If she says she wants to see me, will I definitely meet her?" Zhao Chen smiled, pulled Ming Xueling to his side, tapped her nose and said, "If you are unhappy in the future, you should express it. You are a 'human', not a tool. You have the right to express your emotions."

"But... she said she could tell you the whereabouts of a 'Star God's relic.'" Ming Xueling pursed her lips. For some reason, her mood suddenly improved.

"What?" Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "Then we should meet."
