The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 927 Golden Bucket
As descendants of the "Dragon King," the Azure and Crimson Dragons cannot be classified as "demons," but they do possess the most basic attribute of "demons"—"immortality"—making them difficult to kill using ordinary means.

That is why Zhao Chen specially prepared corresponding "dragon-slaying" weapons or "dragon-slaying" characters in the scene where he made the "Jade Pool Chess" materialize, with the aim of restraining or even breaking this attribute.

The Azure and Crimson Dragons are somewhat similar in form to the demons created by Western wizards. After their "fall," a large part of their power is concentrated in a certain "organ," which can actually serve as the main ingredient in some "potions."

It is just far more dangerous than the so-called "extraordinary traits" extracted from the demons raised by wizards.

The dragon pearls of the Azure and Crimson Dragons are similar items, but it's clear that Pavilion Master Lingwei's request for them wasn't for concocting the "Morning Star" potion. After all, she's already a cultivator with supernatural powers, so there's absolutely no need for her to...

So, the intention is to use the "immortality" property to refine "life-extending" pills? Such life-extending pills would inevitably have extremely severe side effects, and the probability of them spiraling out of control and turning into Daoist essences would be very high...

Indeed, "death is the only hardship of all time"!

Zhao Chen gave Ling Wei a deep look, but did not refuse. Instead, he calmly said, "The Flood Dragon Pearl is still here..."

Seeing the joy on Ling Wei's girlish face, he added, "However, if Pavilion Master Ling wants to make an exchange, she must first show sincerity."

“Of course.” Ling Wei agreed without hesitation. Then she took out her token and touched it to a wall in the inner hall. The next moment, a hazy, dreamlike passage appeared in that area, as if a breeze was blowing and leaves were spiraling.

Judging by its design alone, it does bear some resemblance to the "Wind God Illusionary Realm" of the Qingling family.

"This passage leads directly to the 'Azure Sky Riding the Wind Pavilion,' where our treasures are stored. Please follow me, young master." With that, Ling Wei stepped into the passage first.

Why would a good person enter their own treasure vault through a "secret passage"? This Pavilion Master Ling probably knew that it was against the rules for her to exchange the sect's treasures for something to prolong her life, so she didn't intend to follow the proper procedures, right?
Zhao Chen touched the "cowlick" on his head, and seeing that the little monkey did not warn him, he thought for a moment and followed it inside.

Seeing Zhao Chen enter the secret passage, Ling Wei's smile became even more sincere, and she took the initiative to introduce: "'Azure Sky Riding the Wind Tower' has five floors. The first two floors contain items corresponding to the Refining Aperture and Gang Sha realms. The third and fourth floors contain treasures and books of the supernatural power level. The fifth floor is not only my daily seclusion place, but also enshrines the magic treasure 'Azure Sky Divine Wind Bag' left by the ancestor."

“Besides the ‘Azure Sky Divine Wind Bag,’ you may choose any three items from the ‘Azure Sky Riding Wind Pavilion.’”

The founder of Fengyin Pavilion was known as "Azure Sky Fairy," and this magical artifact was formed from her foundational supernatural powers after her death. Ling Wei specifically pointed this out, which also implied a sense of intimidation.

After all, the protector of "Young Master Wang" is very powerful. What if he really disregards his reputation and tries to seize the inheritance of their small sect?

Although Ling Wei felt that a top-tier aristocratic family like the Wang family of Jianye wouldn't care about her meager assets, she believed that if some things could be avoided, she shouldn't test "human nature."

Zhao Chen saw through Ling Pavilion Master's little scheme, but he just smiled. If he really had evil intentions, the entire "Wind Chant Pavilion" would belong to the "Zhao" family, and no magic weapon could deter him.

After all, magical artifacts are just inanimate objects, and the Wind Chant Pavilion does not have a "commander of weapons"!
The passage wasn't long, and the two walked quickly. In just a dozen breaths, they arrived one after the other on the fifth floor of the "Azure Cloud Riding Wind Tower," in Ling Wei's secluded room.

Unlike the stereotypical image of a place of asceticism, this room was quite luxuriously furnished, complete with all kinds of furniture, delicious food and wine, and even several bookshelves full of novels and magazines...

It's clear that Pavilion Master Lingwei knows how to enjoy life; no wonder she's willing to go to great lengths to prolong her life.

Facing Zhao Chen's meaningful gaze, the thick-skinned Pavilion Master Ling Wei remained unmoved. She simply tidied up the messy area and led him out of the secluded cultivation place to the hall on the fifth floor. The hall was extremely spacious, with only tangible vortexes of energy extending from the four corners like ropes and converging at the top center.

Zhao Chen guessed that the "convergence" focal point contained the Fengyin Pavilion's magical treasure, the "Azure Sky Divine Wind Bag," but it was simply unobservable.

Ling Wei led Zhao Chen to a staircase and pointed, saying, "From here you can go down to the fourth and third floors. There will be no one else in the 'Azure Cloud Riding the Wind Tower' tonight. You can choose freely, young master. Just pick out three treasures before dawn and you'll be fine."

Actually, the first and second floors were also accessible, but Ling Wei figured "Young Master Wang" wouldn't be interested in the Refining Aperture and罡煞 levels, so she didn't mention them.

"Then thank you very much for your generosity, Pavilion Master." Zhao Chen was indeed quite interested in the inheritance of Fengyin Pavilion, so he readily handed Ling Wei a dragon pearl as a deposit, and would give her the other one after she had chosen something.

Ling Wei happily accepted the dragon pearl from the red dragon, only to find that it was severely damaged, and most of the original power from the "Dragon King" had been lost.

Upon seeing this, Pavilion Master Ling first frowned, then relaxed, thinking that this was more reasonable.

The protector of "Young Master Wang" must have fought a fierce battle with the two dragons before barely succeeding, so he couldn't be concerned about whether the spoils of war were damaged.

Perhaps the protector herself was also seriously injured and was currently healing, which is why she and Bai Xue failed to notice each other.

……

On the fourth floor of Bixiao Chengfeng Tower, Zhao Chen had no time to pay attention to Ling Wei's little thoughts. He was currently "investigating" and "gathering inspiration" in front of each stone platform with restrictions, carefully studying each magical artifact. Even if he didn't choose one in the end, he would "memorize" it first so that he could conjure it up later when using "invisible demonic weapons".

It must be said that Fengyin Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as a sect that has inherited the "Way of Weapons". It possesses more than twenty magical artifacts, although nearly half of them are remnants of magical cultivators from the sect over the past few hundred years. However, this number alone is already the sum of the three demonic sects in "Worry-Free Cave Heaven" plus the royal family.

This is not surprising. After all, the laws of heaven and earth of "Worry-Free Cave Heaven" are flawed, so there are not many proper masters of supernatural powers. Naturally, there would be no remnants. Moreover, there are very few who use "artifact-based supernatural powers" as their foundation. In addition, materials are scarce, so it is normal that it cannot compare with a small sect of Xuantian.

However, all of the magical artifacts in the Wind Whisper Pavilion contain laws related to "wind." Many of them have similar styles, but each has its own emphasis and a variety of functions...

For example, the "Yunxiu Gangfeng Hall" which is the same as Bai Xue's foundational supernatural power has three types. Some of them focus on "defense", with the gale descending and all kinds of magic cannot penetrate it.

Some preferred "suppression," trapping the enemy inside the Gangfeng Hall.

Some are better at "attacking," with the entire palace resembling a flying, mobile artillery platform, unleashing fierce gusts of wind to attack the enemy...

This clearly bears the characteristics of the owner of the ritual object during his lifetime.

Zhao Chen only studied them but didn't find any particularly appealing until he reached the end of the magical artifact area, where his gaze was drawn to a uniquely shaped magical artifact.

Because it was completely different from the surrounding "wind" type magical artifacts; it was a large, golden bucket!
