The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 926 The Pavilion Master's Request

I remember in the myths and legends of my past life, the friend of the Three Immortals, "Han Zhi Xian", used supernatural powers related to "wind"... Could it be that the founder of "Feng Yin Ge" unearthed the inheritance of "Han Zhi Xian"?

Well, we can't be so arbitrary. After all, there were many imposters among the ancient immortals and gods. Who knows what the so-called "Three Immortals of the Clouds" really are!
Moreover, among the information the current emperor gave me, there was a "candidate" who escaped her fate and survived, and her name was "Fairy of the Clouds"...

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen asked calmly, "The Three Immortals? What are their specific names?"

Bai Xue assumed that Zhao Chen was interested in the past of immortals and gods, and was happy to use this topic to get closer to him, so she answered without hesitation: "Our 'Fengyin Pavilion' doesn't know the specific names either, after all, the relevant information dug out from the ruins is limited. We only know that the three fairies were called 'Sanxiao' in ancient times, and all of them were True Lords."

She paused for a moment, then continued with great longing, "Our founder and successive pavilion masters all believed that the three fairies had not perished, but were perhaps trapped in some grotto-heaven in the outer sea, waiting for us, their successors, to rescue them... This is also the reason why the pavilion's ironclad warship was named 'Seeking Immortals'."

Forget about it. If those three are really trapped, with just a few supernatural cultivators in your pavilion, getting involved in this would be certain death... Zhao Chen muttered to himself, then noticed the "ruins" that Bai Xue mentioned several times, so he asked, "Isn't Fengyin Pavilion built hundreds of years ago? Has no one ever dug anything out of the ruins before?"

These ancient relics must have been visited by countless cultivators long ago.

Bai Xue smiled mysteriously and said, "That's because the Three Immortal Islands were really just 'Three County Islands' before. There were no relics on them, and even the central main peak had very little spiritual energy."

"Those ruins and relics appeared suddenly along with the current main peak of the mountain range, Qinglan Peak, hundreds of years ago."

"The patriarch happened to be on the Three Immortal Islands at that time, which is how he got the opportunity and even achieved the status of a True Person."

At this point, Bai Xue sighed, her voice somewhat dejected, "Unfortunately, we are too foolish to restore the sect's former glory."

This description... is just like the "mystery of history" returning to reality!

The sacred sites of the "Three Immortals" were shrouded in the "historical fog" in ancient times.
Zhao Chen's mind raced, but he didn't press the matter further. After all, it was a secret of their sect. It was fine to just scratch the surface and be seen as being overly curious, but if he delved too deeply, it might alert Bai Xue and ruin things.

Anyway, I'll be spending the night at Fengyin Pavilion, so there's no rush...

With that in mind, Zhao Chen subtly changed the subject and began inquiring about information about the higher-ups at Fengyin Pavilion.

Bai Xue didn't hide anything from this, after all, it wasn't a secret, and anyone well-informed on the island could get a lot of useful information from them.

The Wind Chant Pavilion currently has four cultivators with supernatural powers, all of whom are female. Among them, the Pavilion Master, Ling Wei, is the most powerful, having achieved the third-grade artifact-type supernatural power, "Heavenly Ruins Gale Tower." It is said that she has already crossed the third Heavenly Ladder and is only one step away from "Dongxuan."

The other three are all mid-grade divine abilities: Bai Xue, known as "Yunxiu Qingpin"; Dong Caiyu, known as "Shuoyun Zhuifeng"; and Fu Man, known as "Fuyao Gongzhu".

Among them, Bai Xue's "Yunxiu Gangfeng Palace" is the highest grade, while Dong Caiyu's "Fengyin Sword" is the lowest, only grade six.

Fuman's "Soaring Star Palace" is in the center, representing a fifth-rank supernatural power.

This suggests that the ancestor of Fengyin Pavilion most likely unearthed a legacy of artifact crafting.

Aside from the four powerful cultivators, the only one worth noting among the Wind Chant Pavilion's magical cultivators is Ren Lan, the youngest disciple of Pavilion Master Ling Wei. She's only eighteen years old, yet her magical power has already reached the ninth level, and she's preparing to assemble the only second-grade magical ability in the Wind Chant Pavilion's heritage, the "Azure Wind Trace Bag"!
However, due to a severe lack of the required Qi, she has not yet mastered all the prerequisite spells.

What a proud and ambitious young girl! I wish her success... Zhao Chen shook his head, clearly not optimistic. After all, the Qi required for the prerequisite spells of a second-grade divine power is extremely rare. Cultivators from small sects would need a great stroke of luck to gather it all.

Great opportunities often mean great karma and future tribulations... If you encounter them, you may not live long.

While the two were chatting, the demon beast had already pulled the carriage across the outer area of ​​the Three Immortal Islands and arrived at the central mountainous area.

With a neigh, the carriage actually drove along the pre-set "track" into the air, spiraling upwards until it finally stopped on a rather spacious platform halfway up the main peak.

After Zhao Chen got out of the car, he scanned the "road" with his divine sense and discovered that the so-called "track" was not a physical object, but a "wind track" formed by an array.

"Tsk, that's quite an ingenious idea. It makes it much easier for ordinary disciples of Fengyin Pavilion to go up and down the mountain, saving them a lot of time." After giving a very fair evaluation, Zhao Chen followed Bai Xue toward the mountain gate.

As evening approached, the platform was bustling with people, mostly women. They were quite surprised to see their Master Bai bring a man back, and various ambiguous glances were cast at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was already immune to such scrutiny. After all, when he fought in public in the capital, he was scrutinized by the audience even more. If he cared about this, he wouldn't be able to make any normal moves.

However, the curiosity and gossip in the eyes of these disciples quickly turned into shock and horror, because the Pavilion Master Ling Wei actually came out to greet them personally!

—Bai Xue had obviously informed her own sect leader beforehand.

Ling Wei was stunningly beautiful with a graceful figure, looking like a young woman in her late teens, but her long hair was completely white and casually draped over her shoulders.

"I never expected the Pavilion Master to come to greet me personally. I have been impolite!" Zhao Chen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, his words full of respect.

Because he knew that although this Pavilion Master Ling appeared young and beautiful, he was actually close to 120 years old, and without something to prolong his life, his time was probably coming to an end.

Such a respectful treatment from a cultivator who is half-buried must mean he has something important to ask for!

While he was muttering to himself, Pavilion Master Ling praised his righteous act of killing the evil dragon, and then warmly invited him into the inner hall of Fengyin Pavilion, arranging a banquet and song and dance to welcome him.

However, the more Ling Wei acted this way, the more suspicious Zhao Chen became. So, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, he asked directly, "Does the Pavilion Master need my help with something? Please speak frankly."

Ling Wei hadn't expected Zhao Chen to be so direct. She had originally planned to send two disciples to further develop their relationship before making her own suggestion...

But since she had already made it clear, she didn't bother with any more "preliminary explanations." After clapping her hands to dismiss the disciples who were about to perform, she carefully said:
"After you killed the two evil dragons, did you still have their dragon pearls?"

A dragon pearl? I see…
