The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 931 Inexplicable
"But no matter what the specific relationship is between 'Fairy of the Clouds' and 'Goddess of Flowers', as long as there is a connection between the two, it is reasonable to suspect that she is one of the powerful forces behind the manipulation of my and Fei Meng's fate."

"It could even be the one that Tantai Zhugong is backing!"
"Because everything is too coincidental... so coincidental that I even suspect that the three items I obtained at 'Fengyin Pavilion' were also the so-called 'chance' promised by Tantai Zhugong."

"Of course, there's also the possibility that Fairy Yunxiao was 'arranged' for the same reason..."

As various thoughts raced through his mind, Zhao Chen took out the biography stained with tears again and asked Danfei for advice on how to deal with it.

After briefly sensing the object, the Empress revealed a look of surprise: "That 'Cloud Fairy' has a cultivation level far exceeding mine at my peak. I judge that she has already touched upon the 'concept'."

"This tear must have been shed when she first grasped the concept of 'reincarnation,' still carrying a faint echo of the Great Dao..."

"The solution is simple; there are two options."

"First, isolate this book in a separate world, so that it cannot come into contact with any person or thing that has a 'spirit'. Once the tears have completely 'contaminated' the book, you will be able to obtain a 'strange object'."

"At that time, there will most likely be a 'mysterious realm' related to the story of that Fairy Qingli, and the level will not be low. Ordinary cultivators with supernatural powers will also be trapped in the 'cycle' of the story if they enter."

"Secondly, we need to find a genuine 'Primordial Golden Cauldron' to extract that tear and remove the spiritual imprint of its original owner. After that, we can process it however we want."

The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron... That's right. The Golden Cauldron itself symbolizes the place where all living beings are born. "All beings, whether immortals or mortals, princes or emperors, noble or lowly, wise or foolish, are born and first undergo reincarnation through the Golden Cauldron, and none can bypass it." It is also the final step in completing the concept of "reincarnation." It is indeed most suitable to use it to bear the tears that echo the lingering echoes of the "reincarnation" path.

Hey, no wonder that real people can "reincarnate" so casually these days, because this concept hasn't been mastered by anyone yet!

Zhao Chen suddenly understood, but he had no idea where to find the real "Hun Yuan Golden Cauldron". After all, it was a magical artifact that only the core members of the Mu family could master, and even Tang Miao, who was from a collateral branch of the family, was not qualified to obtain it.

He dismissed the first option without even thinking about it, since the uncontrollable "mysterious domain" was a ticking time bomb that might end up getting him killed as well.

After frowning and pondering for a while, Zhao Chen suddenly turned his gaze to the so-called "Whirling Sky Golden Cauldron" that Fengyin Pavilion had reforged, and asked cautiously, "Can this golden cauldron be restored?"

Even if it is restored to its original, unusable, broken state, it is still the essence of the "Primordial Golden Cauldron" and should be able to be used as a container to hold that tear.

Moreover, the secret hidden in that golden goblet might not be about a specific time, place, or person, but rather about waiting for something specific?

Danfei had obviously thought of this as well. She stretched out her fingers and did some calculations, then looked at Zhao Chen deeply before saying, "It's not impossible to restore it, but we need the support of the 'Flower Goddess's' divine power."

"In other words, it can only be done by being close enough to the body of the 'Flower Goddess'."

Hey! Here we are at the designated location, aren't we? Zhao Chen, who was frequently "arranged" for this purpose, immediately recognized the familiar "feeling." While inwardly scoffing at the somewhat "crude" method, he also recalled the Empress's prophecy:

"Enter whenever you see a flower..."

Zhao Chen pondered for a few seconds, then asked again, "How long until this book transforms into a 'strange object'?"

"Unless something particularly exciting happens, it'll take a year or two," Danfei replied simply, then sighed. Through her calculations, she suddenly realized that she had unknowingly fallen into someone else's scheme and been used...

A year or two? That should be enough. After all, I'll be heading to the southwest once I've dealt with things in Yingzhou!
Close enough? Heh... Looks like I have another reason to go to that "Chiyou Cave"!

Zhao Chen gave a self-deprecating laugh, but in his heart, he made another "remark" about the people behind him.

As a "businessman," once you lend money, you'll eventually get it back with interest!
……

Inside the cargo hold of the "Seeking Immortals," a young girl of about seventeen or eighteen was peeking out from behind a shelf filled with magical artifacts. She was Ren Lan, the youngest disciple of Pavilion Master Ling Wei, who had already reached the ninth level of magical power.

As her name suggests, the little girl wore a blue dress that made her face look even whiter and more delicate. She had a straight nose and distinct eyebrows and eyes. Although she had not yet fully grown up, she could already be called a "beauty".

Ren Lan had wanted to travel alone to find the "gangsha" energy she lacked, but her master had always disagreed, which is why she took advantage of the situation yesterday to leave a note and run away.

Moreover, she was not unprepared. For example, the invisible veil draped over her dress was a magical artifact that could isolate the divine sense of cultivators with supernatural powers to a certain extent.

Ren Lan also used this opportunity to infiltrate the "Seeking Immortals" and hide in the cargo hold, which was protected by an array and rarely visited by outsiders.

"If I just endure a few more hours, I'll reach Deer Island. Then, whether I go to Yingzhou's main island or take another sect's ship back to Qizhou, no one will be able to restrain me."

"Once I complete my innate spells, I will also go to the fighting arena in Kyushu to earn the title of 'Young Master'!"

"Isn't this more promising than trying to curry favor with a spoiled brat from a powerful family?"

As Ren Lan looked forward to a bright "future," she turned to a new page in her copy of "The Biography of the Young Master."

This page prominently records the deeds of Zhao Chen, the "Moon Thief Prince".

"Even if you want to please a man, it has to be a hero like Young Master Zhao!"

……

In the captain's cabin, Bai Xue scanned her junior apprentice with her divine sense over the boy who was clutching a book and grinning foolishly, and couldn't help but shake her head:

"He couldn't even pass the simulation training in the pavilion, yet he thought he could go out and gain experience on his own. He really doesn't know his own limitations."

"If the Pavilion Master hadn't instructed me to ignore you, I would have already dragged you back and given you a beating."

"But it's good, let her learn her lesson after suffering a little loss! Anyway, with Junior Sister Dong looking after her on Kashima Island, nothing serious will happen."

……

Sanxian Island is not far from Lu Island. The "Xunxian" ship arrived at this island, which belongs to Yingzhou, in just two hours after lunch.

Everything went smoothly, and they didn't encounter any more sea monsters, which surprised Danfei. She felt that she had gotten through this ordeal too easily, and her gaze towards Zhao Chen became increasingly complicated and indescribable...

Due to the booming trade, there were many ships waiting to enter the port at sea, and it took nearly half an hour for the "Seeking Immortals" to finally dock.

Zhao Chen led Danfei down the gangway and was about to ask how to buy tickets to Yingzhou Island when a little girl walked straight up to him.

The girl in blue sized him up several times, muttered to herself, "This is 'Young Master Wang'? He's quite ordinary-looking," and then turned and ran away.

Completely baffled... Zhao Chen was utterly confused, having no idea who the other person was or what they wanted.
