The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 930 The Mu Family and the Flower Goddess

The next morning, after accepting more than ten jars of "Qingping Suiyu Wine" as a thank-you gift, Zhao Chen bid farewell to Pavilion Master Lingwei and rode with "Yunxiu Qingpin" Bai Xue in a beast carriage to the dock.

Although he paid with two dragon cores, he also gained a lot from this trip. His only regret was that he didn't get to witness the charm of other famous female cultivators of Fengyin Pavilion, such as "Shuoyun Zhuifeng" Dong Caiyu and "Fuyao Palace Master" Fuman.

On the way, Bai Xue probably guessed that her master had made a private deal with Zhao Chen, but she pretended not to know anything and only asked with a smile, "Is the hospitality of my Fengyin Pavilion satisfactory, young master?"

Zhao Chen nodded, but didn't elaborate on the topic. Instead, he talked about the anecdotes of the first patriarch of Fengyin Pavilion, Fairy Bikong, and the second patriarch, Fairy Xuanqiong, hoping to indirectly find out information about Yunxiao and Hunyuan Jindou.

Unfortunately, Bai Xue didn't know much about these seniors, and Zhao Chen didn't get much useful information from her until he boarded the ship.

The only slightly valuable piece of information is that the second-generation ancestor, Fairy Xuanqiong, was not actually confirmed to have perished; she simply did not return after her last journey.

If she had achieved the "Dongxuan" level, perhaps she would still be alive...

However, the possibility of this is extremely low.

Back in his first-class cabin on the "Seeking Immortals" ship, Zhao Chen immediately activated the alert array he had set up beforehand, then took out the "chessboard" and entered the secret realm that contained the "Chess of Yaochi".

Meanwhile, Empress Danfei of Western Liang had already crafted the magical artifact and was soaking in the hot spring...

Zhao Chen did not "descend" to the "scene" where the bath was located. He stood on the platform by the lotus pond, glanced at the empress playing with the water on the "screen", and after a moment of silence, he summoned "Yao Ji" and asked her to inform the other party that he had returned.

A moment later, Danfei, dressed neatly, was "teleported" to a platform by the lotus pond. Upon seeing Zhao Chen, she did not exchange pleasantries but instead raised her hand and released two sword lights, one red and one green.

The two swords, one icy cold and the other blazing hot, circled in the air like dragons for a few moments before crossing over and transforming into a pair of scissors, interwoven with crimson and blue hues and covered with scales.

"This is the 'Crimson and Azure Dragon Scissors' that I forged. It can be disassembled into two swords, the 'Azure Dragon' and the 'Crimson Dragon,' both of which are quite good divine flying swords. When fully unleashed, the power of the sword itself is no less than that of a typical third-grade offensive divine power."

"When the two are combined into scissors, they embody the duality of heat and cold, capable of breaking through most of the 'indestructible bodies' or 'incorruptible forms' of demons and evil spirits, and possessing a certain effect of tracing back cause and effect. Substitute-type supernatural powers below the third rank are ineffective in front of it."

After briefly explaining the functions of the "Double Dragon Scissors," Danfei smiled and said, "In the future, if you encounter sea monsters or demonic offspring like the Crimson and Azure Double Dragons, you won't need to use the 'Jade Pool Chess' to solve them anymore..."

She paused, her expression turning serious, and warned, "This treasure is quite complicated. Your cultivation level is still low, so let it go this time. In the future, try not to use it if you can avoid it, lest it be discovered by someone with ulterior motives."

Zhao Chen knew that Danfei meant well. Although he was thinking to himself, "What do you mean by 'let it go this time'? So you can use it just because it's your problem?", he still humbly accepted it on the surface and thanked her after receiving the "Crimson and Azure Dragon Scissors".

After examining the newly forged magical artifact for a while, Zhao Chen put it away. Then, he took out the "Golden Bucket" he had obtained from the Wind Chant Pavilion and handed it to Dan Fei, saying, "There seems to be some secret hidden inside. Can you see anything?"

Danfei took the "Spiral Golden Cauldron," sensed it for a moment, and then frowned: "Who modified this? The technique is terrible, it's a complete waste of materials!"

"You, a mere 'Ascension' True Lord, shouldn't bother with the supernatural cultivators of some minor sect..." Zhao Chen coughed and briefly explained the origin of the "Whirling Sky Golden Bucket," concluding, "I suspect its materials are a derivative of some Flower Goddess's supernatural power... is that right?" Dan Fei nodded slightly: "Your knowledge is not lacking; it is indeed the 'Yellow Stamen Purple Gold Radiant Flower' supernatural power fruit passed down from the 'Flower Goddess'... That Cloud Fairy probably has a deep connection with the 'Flower Goddess'."

As the person destined to be with the "Spring Goddess", Danfei has a certain understanding of the four ancient goddesses.

After a moment of contemplation, she continued, "There is indeed a secret hidden inside this golden jar, which still exists even after it has been modified. But what exactly it is, I'm afraid, will only be revealed at a specific time or place."

"It could also be specific people..."

Oh well... then it seems there's no chance of Xiao Ling upgrading his body in the short term... That's fine, my skills are still pretty average right now, so I can hone them a bit more.

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen asked again, "Danfei, did you know that Fairy Yunxiao before?"

Danfei gently shook her head: "In my time, I have never heard of the name 'Fairy of the Clouds,' and I have never even heard of the myths about the 'Three Clouds' that you mentioned."

"But I know about the Mu family's 'Hun Yuan Jin Dou'. After all, more than 8,000 years ago, although the Mu family was not a prominent family, it was still quite famous in the North."

"Moreover, I suspect that the Mu family's heritage is somewhat related to the 'Flower Goddess,' at least their family obtained a part of the 'Five Planets and Constellations Sun and Moon Mixed Constant Scripture - Western White Tiger Chapter.'"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but recall the scene of Tang Miao unleashing the "White Tiger Seven Constellations Blade." Although that divine power was only of the fifth rank, its intent was indeed lofty.

Moreover, the Mu family's direct lineage cultivation technique seems to be called "Five Stars Seven Elements Mixed Constant Scripture," which is quite similar in name...

"However, I've seen Master Mu make a move, and it doesn't seem to resemble the methods of the 'Flower Goddess Sect'?" Zhao Chen asked疑惑地问道.

Danfei patiently replied, "First of all, the four techniques contained in the 'Five Stars and Constellations Sun and Moon Mixed Scripture' are only governed by the four ancient goddesses, not the path cultivated by the ancient goddesses themselves."

"For example, both the Sima family and I inherited the legacy of the 'Spring God,' and our supernatural powers are related to various 'immortal springs,' which is very different from the external manifestation of 'Eastern Azure Dragon Chapter.'"

"But the two are not entirely unrelated. In other words, a supreme method like the 'Five Planets, Constellations, Sun and Moon in Harmony' has no fixed cultivation method. Instead, it provides high-level guidance. As long as it doesn't conflict too much with one's original cultivation method, it is possible to switch to another method... That's why I was able to cultivate the 'Eastern Azure Dragon' and 'Southern Vermilion Bird' after my rebirth..."

"Secondly, the Mu family should have only obtained a small part of the Western White Tiger Chapter, but the Mu family's Ancestor Shengxuan was also a genius. He must have combined other ancient methods to create the Mu family's Five Stars and Seven Elements Chaotic Scripture."

"In the end, the inheritance that the Flower Goddess Sect received was only the 'creation' part of the 'Flower Goddess' Way."

"Therefore, it's normal for it not to look alike."

I see... But after all this talk, we still can't be sure what the relationship is between Fairy Yunxiao and the Flower Goddess!
