The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 925 Three Immortal Islands

"Thanks to your help, young master, everyone on the ship was spared from disaster. I thank you very much." Bai Xue bowed solemnly to Zhao Chen and expressed her gratitude.

They were now in the captain's cabin, and Bai Xue even took out a jar of spirit wine that had been treasured for hundreds of years to entertain Zhao Chen.

In the cultivation world, most of the spiritual wines worth mentioning can absorb the spiritual energy in the air and gather a certain artistic conception. Therefore, similar to wines brewed by mortals, the older they are, the better their quality becomes.

Some spirit wines that have been stored in special environments for hundreds or thousands of years can even be used as "罡煞" (a type of magical energy).

The "Qingping Shattered Jade Brew" that Bai Xue is currently presenting may not be comparable to top-tier wines, but it is rich in spiritual energy, has an excellent taste, and can also help cultivators comprehend the artistic conception related to "wind".

If a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage were to drink this wine, they might very well be able to cultivate a powerful technique with magical abilities.

Of course, for Zhao Chen now, this was just something to satisfy his appetite. After taking a sip, he put down the cup and said modestly:

"Fairy Bai, you're too kind. I can only say that I'm trying to save myself."

Bai Xue shook her head and said, "Young master is too modest. If it weren't for your help, I might have been able to protect myself, but the others on the ship would have been in grave danger..."

Most importantly, if the "Seeking Immortals" were to capsize, it would be a devastating loss for their "Wind Chant Pavilion"!
Leaving aside whether anyone will trust the route occupied by "Fengyin Pavilion" in the future, "Fengyin Pavilion" will find it difficult to bear the loss of the supplies transported to "Three Immortal Islands".

Therefore, for this reason alone, Bai Xue felt a great liking for Zhao Chen. Moreover, she wanted to use her gratitude to establish a good relationship with this young master from the prestigious Wang family of Jianye, and she would certainly not let this matter pass easily.

Bai Xue paused for a moment, then sincerely invited, "'The Immortal Seeker' will stop at Three Immortal Islands for one night. Please do us the honor of visiting our 'Wind Chant Pavilion'. Our Pavilion Master will certainly thank you in person then."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen glanced at the other person with some surprise.

He had done some research on "Fengyin Pavilion" because he had bought a ticket for the "Xunxian" ship. He knew that the sect was dominated by female cultivators. Although there were male disciples, they could not enter the core. Most of them were actually the Daoist partners of the sect's disciples.

Such sects would naturally not easily invite male cultivators to be their guests, because some established customs mean that "being a guest" often carries other connotations.

As far as Zhao Chen knew, the Grandmaster Bai Xue, whose title was "Yunxiu Qingpin", also had a Daoist partner. However, after she achieved supernatural powers, her Daoist partner left the Three Immortal Islands to travel the world and has not returned to this day.

Seeing Zhao Chen hesitate, Bai Xue realized that her invitation might be inappropriate and quickly added, "Young master, you can bring your female companion with you. This invitation is only to thank you for your kindness, and has no other meaning."

Although she said that, Bai Xue actually hoped that this young master Wang could have a beautiful relationship with one of the disciples in the pavilion, especially the young disciple of the pavilion master. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old and had reached the ninth level of magic power, just like the young master from the noble family in front of her. However, he was lacking in his innate magic and his progress in finding souls and gathering spirits was far behind.

Danfei might not be willing to go... Zhao Chen thought to himself, but on the surface, he pretended to hesitate for a while before agreeing. After all, he was also very curious about "Fengyin Pavilion" and wanted to learn more about it.

Of course, this curiosity wasn't directed at the female cultivators in the pavilion, but rather at the tradition itself. "Three Immortal Islands"... the name alone is worth exploring.

……

The "Seeking Immortals" continued sailing for several more hours until 3:45 PM, when it finally arrived near an island shaped like the Chinese character "品" (pin), resembling plum blossom petals. This was the Three Immortals Island where the Wind Chant Pavilion was located.

During this period, the "Seeking Immortals" was attacked by sea monsters three more times. However, due to their weak strength, they were lured into the "Jade Pool Chess" secret realm by Zhao Chen and killed before Bai Xue discovered them, thus preventing further disturbances.

As the "Seeking Immortals" slowly entered the dock and lowered its "Magic Anchor," Zhao Chen followed Bai Xue and disembarked first, boarding a carriage pulled by a demon beast.

"Young master, are your companions not traveling together?" Bai Xue asked after scanning the surroundings with her divine sense.

She suspected that the woman in name was actually the young master Wang's protector, and that she might be hiding in the shadows right now, but she hadn't noticed her.

"She has things to do, so she won't come with me to bother her," Zhao Chen replied somewhat vaguely.

In fact, the Empress was focused on forging a magical artifact. Zhao Chen didn't even see her face when he entered the secret realm; he only checked her activity records within the "Chess of the Jade Pool," for which he was met with disdain from "Yao Ji"...

Zhao Chen decided that once his strength and realm improved, he would definitely train the true spirit of the "Jade Pool Chessboard" properly, so that it would learn to respect its master.

Bai Xue didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she drove the demon beast to pull the carriage towards the mountain peak in the center of the island, while acting as a tour guide, introducing the scenery and scenic spots of the Three Immortal Islands to Zhao Chen.

Speaking of which, Sanxian Island is not small in size, as it is also located in three counties, and it is comparable to Lushi Island, the final destination of the "Xunxian" ship.

However, resources on the island are relatively scarce, and the spiritual energy is only slightly denser in the central mountain range, which is why sects like "Fengyin Pavilion," which only have supernatural powers to guard the island, are allowed to occupy it.

"There are three large cities on the island, with a total population of around 300,000. They have all kinds of entertainment facilities, which are not much worse than those in Kyushu. In addition, many overseas independent cultivators like to trade goods and information here. If you are interested, young master, we can take a stroll around before dark," Bai Xue introduced with a smile.

The development positioning is an entertainment island, a money pit... Zhao Chen nodded thoughtfully, but had no intention of shopping at all. Instead, he asked casually, "Why is Sanxian Island called 'Sanxian Island'? I heard a story when I was in Yeyi that it was originally called 'Sanxian Island' because the island had the land of three counties. But over time, it was mistakenly passed down as 'Sanxian Island'... Is that true?"

“If someone else asked, I would say ‘yes’…” Bai Xue blinked and smiled, “But since it’s you, young master, I certainly can’t be so perfunctory.”

"Oh? Is there some secret hidden here?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.

Bai Xue nodded and replied, "The reason why Sanxian Island is called 'Sanxian Island' is because it was once owned by three fairies collectively known as the 'Three Immortals of the Clouds'... This is information that my 'Fengyin Pavilion' founder obtained when he excavated the heritage from the ruins on the island."

The Three Immortals...?
