My Endless Life.

Chapter 644 Fairy
The fairy threw down the spiritual essence.

But the vendor dared not accept it.

While the Great Cang Dynasty appears to have good public order, some unspoken problems still exist at the grassroots level.

The vendor dared to accept low-grade spirit stones and mid-grade spirit stones, but once he had a high-grade spirit stone in his hand, he wouldn't dare to touch it at all.

Not to mention that what the fairy left behind was spiritual essence!
A priceless spiritual essence!

The vendor was worried that if he accepted this spiritual marrow today, his own corpse would appear outside the city tomorrow!
Seeing that the fairy was about to leave with the spiritual essence, the vendor became anxious and called out to her:
"My fairy, please take the spirit marrow back. Consider that other thing a gift from me!"

What he made wasn't anything particularly sophisticated.

It's a little magical device that can lift your spirits, automatically ward off dust, and keep your body at a constant temperature.

This thing would be an extraordinary treasure among ordinary people, but here, a single low-grade spirit stone can buy a whole bunch of them.

The fairy could casually take out spiritual essence, which meant she was obviously not short of money. Moreover, since she possessed spiritual essence herself and dared to take it out at will, she was obviously extremely powerful.

She might have connections and be very capable herself; even a seasoned veteran like her wouldn't dare to actually take her money.

However, that fairy was a bit stubborn.

She said calmly, "It's common sense to pay for things, I know that. I've given you that thing, if you don't want it, just throw it away."

She spoke in a flat tone and turned to leave.

The vendor dared not throw it away, nor did he dare leave. He hurriedly called out to the fairy, and the two of them struggled in front of the vendor's stall.

Li Qi watched from the side, his gaze lingering briefly on the red-clad fairy before turning to Ate and saying:
"...Let's go first."

"!"

Upon hearing Li Qi's words, a hint of wariness flashed in Yate's eyes.

This vigilance wasn't directed at Li Qi, but at everyone around him. Having served Li Qi for so many years, Art knew Li Qi's personality well. If Li Qi hadn't discovered something, his tone certainly wouldn't have been so serious.

Thinking of this, Ate's gaze lingered for a moment on the fairy not far away before quickly looking away.

The master and servant left in haste and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The reason Li Qi was in such a hurry to leave was because he couldn't see through the red-clad fairy.

His current cultivation level is at the seventh level, which is the level of a True Immortal in the Cangxuan Realm. He also possesses power, so in theory, he should be able to discern the cultivation level of even someone who is one level higher than him.

Now, however, he has suddenly encountered someone he cannot understand.

Either the other party is a master of the ninth rank, or the other party possesses a treasure that can shield them from detection by anyone below the ninth rank.

Regardless of the type, both represent trouble.

Li Qi just wants to relax and doesn't want to cause trouble, so the red-clad fairy, who is likely a synonym for 'trouble,' is someone Li Qi keeps at a distance.

However, Li Qi didn't think too much about it.

He considered it just a coincidence.

After all, he had just left the sect, so there was no reason why someone would be able to track him down so quickly and deliberately put on such a show in front of him.

Besides, there's no point in performing these things. Li Qi won't get involved; he's not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business.

That was what Li Qi originally thought.

It wasn't until he and Atreus met the fairy in red again in the next city.

Unlike last time, this time the fairy in red is surrounded by a group of thugs who clearly have ill intentions, and she desperately needs someone to "rescue her as a hero".

Li Qi didn't want to be the hero. He took a deep look at the red-clad fairy in the encirclement, then turned and left without saying a word, taking At with him.

Once could be a coincidence, but twice is definitely not.

The fairy in red set her sights on him.

Silently preparing to summon the Heartfelt Mech at any moment, Li Qi's powers were also poised to be unleashed as he and Ate once again left the city.

Having ignored the fairy twice in a row, Li Qi figured she would come looking for him herself.

Unless her target is not herself.

Li Qi also hoped that she wasn't targeting him; he really didn't want to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, on his way to the next city, Li Qi encountered the fairy in red again.

This time, she was all alone, sitting on a tree trunk along Li Qi's route, swinging her bare feet while eating an unknown spiritual fruit.

Upon seeing Li Qi approach, she turned to look in their direction and said:

"It's strange, I thought the men of your Myriad Star Realm were all very compassionate."

"Then this senior has probably misunderstood something. Even if all men in the Myriad Star Realm are compassionate, I am not one of them."

Li Qi responded softly, but the red-clad fairy's next words left him speechless:
"You're not a man?"

"..."

Looking into the pure yet confused eyes of the fairy in red, Li Qi couldn't tell for a moment whether she was being intentional or just speaking without thinking.

Too lazy to argue with the fairy in red about this, Li Qi sighed and asked:

"Senior, why are you stopping me? Is it because I'm from the Myriad Star Realm?"

"On one hand, it's out of curiosity, and on the other hand... I also want to see what kind of person the White Emperor's son really is."

…Baidi?
Li Qi was stunned for a moment.

It took him a moment to realize who the other person was referring to—his mother, Zelia.

He was just a little taken aback because it was the first time he had heard of the title Zelia.

"Now that you've seen it, are you satisfied, senior?"

Li Qi's attitude was fairly polite.

Judging mainly from the words of the fairy in red, the other party should be of the same generation as his mother, or perhaps even at the same or higher level.

Zelia is at the initial stage of the ninth rank, so conservatively speaking... this fairy in front of him is at least at the middle or even high stage of the Dao Integration realm, which is not someone Li Qi can afford to provoke right now.

It's not shameful to back down when you should. However, Li Qi's politeness was like flirting with a blind man; he had barely finished asking when the red-clad fairy said:
"Not satisfied."

"..."

“You… look too…颓废? That’s more like it. I thought a True Immortal at this age would be more spirited.”

The fairy in red looked puzzled again as she spoke: "Was it someone who hurt you?"

Li Qi's current state seemed to be no secret to the fairy in red; she could see at a glance the almost desperate calm within him.
She didn't quite understand Li Qi's current feelings.

According to the standards of the Cangxuan Realm, Li Qi is a True Immortal who is less than twenty years old, which is rare even among cultivation families.

He should be proud, and he has the right to be proud.

Instead of the current attitude of seemingly indifferent to everything.

The fairy in red became curious about Li Qi. She suddenly moved closer to him, as if in a frame-by-frame motion, she was still on the tree one moment and standing next to him the next.

The fairy in red looked at Li Qi and asked:
Can you tell me about it?

"Knowing all this, will it help you in any way?" Li Qi's eyes, hidden behind his mask, remained fixed on the red-clad fairy as he softly asked her.

The fairy in red shook her head: "No, I just wanted to know."

She seems to be curious about everything.

"May I ask, senior, what is your level of attainment?"

"In harmony with the Dao".

"It won't be long before you find out the reason, senior."

Li Qi gazed intently at the red-clad fairy before him.

He was also curious at this moment: if other Dao Integration Realm and Ninth Rank cultivators also knew what Li Qi knew, would they become like Li Qi?

"Why don't you tell me now?" the fairy in red asked, like a curious child.

Li Qi sighed softly. He was about to answer when the fairy in red interrupted him.

The fairy's hand landed on Li Qi's shoulder, and she whispered:

"Hmm, never mind, you can talk about it later. Now... come with me to a place."

"Where to go?"

"Attend a party."

The fairy in red said succinctly.

Seeing that she was about to take him away, Li Qi quickly said, "My servants must come with me too!"

"I know."

As the fairy in red spoke, she placed her other hand on At's shoulder, and then with a flash, the group disappeared from the spot.

……

In an unknown celestial palace.

The Azure Emperor and the old Taoist Xuanhe sat in their respective seats, their expressions not very pleasant.

The two exchanged a glance, and finally, the old Taoist Xuanhe asked:

"Your great general... hasn't returned either?"

The Azure Emperor simply shook his head and then asked the old Taoist Xuanhe, "Where is your Grand Elder?"

"Heh, he did come back, but only a wisp of his primordial spirit returned; he can't be saved."

The method of primordial spirit differentiation is a talent-based secret technique that cultivators can use at the Nascent Soul stage. Since it was used by a Golden Immortal, it should theoretically be even more effective.

In fact, those who reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal level are already considered immortal in the eyes of ordinary people. Even if their physical body is destroyed and their soul is shattered, they can still revive in the Cangxuan Realm by relying on the Dao.

Even if a portion of the soul of the elder sent out by the old Taoist Xuanhe escaped, it was impossible to save him.

The only good news now is that the elder has also hidden the message he wanted to convey in his soul. Although he himself cannot be saved, the message he left behind is undamaged.

This also made the Azure Emperor and Xuanhe Daoist aware of what was happening in the Soul Realm.

"nothingness……"

The Azure Emperor slowly revealed the contents of the message, or rather, a part of it.

A void where nothing can be seen.

A void that is swallowing the world sea.

This is the disaster they are facing now.

"Oh, it seems you two have also heard the news?"

As the two were discussing, Zhao Changge walked in from outside the main hall and casually sat down in an empty seat. He smiled and said:

"In that case, I don't need to waste my breath explaining."

"You found out? The men you sent out escaped?"

The Azure Emperor countered with a question.

Zhao Changge shook his head: "No, although I sent a mechanic, unfortunately, once the Void captures its 'prey,' it won't let it escape, so..."

"Then how did you know?" Old Taoist Xuanhe asked in return.

Zhao Changge didn't waste any words, directly throwing out a mechanical sphere, which automatically hovered in the air. Then he said:

"Although the void prevented him from escaping, he left behind a part of the machinery on the outer edge of the void's engulfment. Before being swallowed by the void, he transmitted all the images and information about the void to this machinery."

"So now, I have a complete recording of the void... Do you want to see it?"

Zhao Changge asked with a light laugh.
