The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 928 Three Treasures
"This is... the 'Primordial Golden Cauldron'?"

Seeing this magical artifact, Zhao Chen was somewhat surprised, because the "Hun Yuan Golden Cauldron" was not an unclaimed object in Xuan Tian, ​​but a second-grade artifact-type divine power possessed by one of the aristocratic families, the Mu family of Jinzhou. It was said that after the ancient Jia Shen Heavenly Change, a certain powerful being was inspired by myths and legends to develop it.

If this artifact-type supernatural power is used in conjunction with the "Nine-Bend Heavenly River Formation" which also belongs to the Mu family, it can even unleash the power of a first-grade great supernatural power.

When Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan first encountered the heroine Tang Miao, she had set up the "Nine-Bend Heavenly River Formation." Qingyan was even glad that Tang Miao didn't have the "Mixed Yuan Golden Bucket" magic weapon on hand.

To be honest, Zhao Chen had previously suspected that the "Fairy of Clouds" who had escaped the fate of being a "candidate" might have some connection with the Mu family. He even sought confirmation from Tang Miao, but unfortunately, he did not obtain any valuable information.

However, the "golden cauldron" in the "Wind Whisper Pavilion," which seems out of place among the surrounding magical artifacts, is actually quite similar in style to the Mu family's magical abilities, and may very well share the same origin...

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes, then picked up the "jade slip" corresponding to the magic artifact and began to read the introduction given by "Fengyin Pavilion".

— Each treasure in the "Azure Cloud Riding Wind Tower" has its own "jade slip" with an introduction, which not only contains text but also "video" demonstrations.

"This golden goblet was dug out of the ruins by Ancestor Bikong. It was originally a 'magic weapon', but due to severe damage, the power of the laws it contained was almost entirely lost, and it had fallen in rank. In the end, it was reforged into a supernatural magic weapon by the second-generation ancestor, Fairy Xuanqiong."

"To avoid using the name of the Mu family's supernatural abilities, it was named 'Spinning Heaven Golden Bucket'."

The written description of this golden magic weapon was not extensive, but it was accompanied by a large number of videos demonstrating its power. Zhao Chen glanced at them briefly and couldn't help but frown.

Because after this golden cauldron was reforged, although it gained some spatial applications, allowing it to trap enemies inside even without the "Nine-Bend Heavenly River Formation," the "Primordial Golden Cauldron" itself was much weaker in its ability to diminish cultivation and seal the soul, thus losing its essence...

Clearly, "Fengyin Pavilion" did not inherit the relevant knowledge of "Hunyuan Golden Bucket".

After putting down the jade slip, Zhao Chen shook his head in disappointment. He had intended to leave the magic artifact area on the fourth floor, but his subconscious "appraisal" ability on the golden bucket made him stop in his tracks.

The description provided by the "collector" included the following sentence: "Made by the Fairy of Clouds herself, it is suspected to contain a secret."

Huh? Zhao Chen turned around and picked up the golden bucket from the stone platform. After studying it repeatedly with his "Vision Eye", he was somewhat surprised to find that the material used for its main body was remarkably similar to the so-called "extraterrestrial meteorite iron" in his hand!
In other words, this "Mixed Origin Golden Bucket" was crafted from the fruit of the supernatural powers of a certain True Person or True Lord of the "Flower God Sect".

It certainly wouldn't be the fruit of the "Langyuan Qingqiong Yaohua" outside the "Liuli Xingdeng"... It's either the "Bishi Huangjin Yanhua" or the "Huangshi Zijin Yaohua"?
Furthermore, could Fairy Yunxiao have some connection with the "Flower Goddess"?
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Chen put the "Spiral Dome Golden Bucket" into his storage bag, intending to take it as one of the three treasures he was allowed to take with him.

After all, this is equivalent to a complete fruit produced by the divine power of a true master of the Flower God Sect. Once the secrets within are deciphered, it can be used to upgrade Ming Xueling's body.

Then, he left the magical artifact area and headed towards the pill and material area.

These two areas were quite large, but there weren't many items. Zhao Chen didn't even glance at the medicine bottles heavily guarded by the array, and instead looked directly at the materials displayed on the other side.

"Most of them are tissues and organs from sea monsters. They're not of much use to me except for selling them for money..." Zhao Chen looked around and used his ability to "appraise" each item. After confirming that there were no "ruins products" that he had missed, he turned to the stairs and went down to the third floor.

This floor contains numerous ancient texts, including fundamental Taoist teachings, methods for cultivating supernatural powers, and various secret documents.

Zhao Chen wasn't interested in the cultivation techniques of "Wind Whisper Pavilion," since only copies were kept there; the original texts unearthed weren't actually there. What he wanted to know were the other discoveries made by the "Azure Sky Fairy" in the ruins.

Thanks to the "advanced" indexing system in the "Azure Sky Riding Wind Tower," Zhao Chen easily found a book called "Azure Sky Collection," which recorded the life and experiences of "Azure Sky Fairy." It was written by her in her later years and included what she saw and heard in the ruins of the Three Immortal Islands.

However, this book contains serious spiritual pollution and has a very high reading threshold; only those cultivators with supernatural powers who have crossed the third heavenly ladder are qualified to read it.

"The heavier the pollution, the higher the value of the contents!"

Zhao Chen, who could even decipher the Great Dao script, naturally didn't need to worry about the "reading threshold." However, just to be on the safe side, he didn't look at it on the spot and planned to take it back to study it slowly in the "Star Raft."

Thus, the second item was determined.

Next, Zhao Chen followed the "index" and moved back and forth between different areas on the third floor, occasionally picking up the "introduction jade slip" to look at it, and using the "penetrating eye" to "investigate" and "appraise" it.

Two hours passed, and as the long night drew to a close, Zhao Chen still hadn't been able to pick out a third treasure.

"If there really are still things left behind by 'Fairy Yunxiao' in this building that I can't find, then why not release the 'Crown' and see what happens..."

"After all, the 'Golden Crow Crown of the Clouds' is most likely a 'characteristic' that Fairy Clouds separated to bear the fate of the 'candidates,' and it may also be connected to the 'candidates' themselves."

"And the 'crown' is the newly born spirit of the 'Golden Crow Crown of the Clouds'..."

After weighing the options for a moment, Zhao Chen made up his mind and focused his attention on the "Great Sun Star Raft," bringing the illusory image of the "Crown" girl into reality.

Since he had no physical form, he wasn't worried that Pavilion Master Lingwei would notice.

"Baoguan" had been sleeping for a long time inside the Starship and was still somewhat groggy, but as soon as she entered reality, she jumped up with a start, pointed to a bookshelf in a corner on the third floor, and said in a tearful voice:
"There...there...is something terrifying!"

Why such a big reaction? Zhao Chen looked at her in surprise. Even if it was an item left behind by "Fairy Yunxiao", it shouldn't pose any threat to the "Crown", right?

The little girl with the "crown" was crouching on the ground, her face filled with terror.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood and could not explain why, Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment before carefully approaching the bookshelf in the corner where "Baoguan" was pointing.

There weren't any important classics on the bookshelf; they were mostly tales of supernatural masters and mysterious immortals. Zhao Chen had glanced at them briefly before and hadn't noticed anything special.

But since "Baoguan" is so afraid, there must be some secret hidden here.
