The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 505 Four Gifts (Two in One)

"Dark Territory..." Silently reciting this term he heard from "Treasure Crown", Zhao Chen used his spiritual consciousness to scan the rich and dangerous darkness around him, and felt palpitations arise spontaneously, as if there was some monster hidden in its depths. Generally speaking, as long as you step into it, you will never recover.

With a slight sigh, Zhao Chen suppressed his strong "curiosity" and began to walk forward on the stone steps.

And he soon discovered that this place was different from the previous ruins of "Red Gold Mountain" - as he moved forward, the gate behind him and the stone steps he walked on disappeared into the darkness!

"In other words, what I opened with the 'Key of Morning Light' phantom is a 'one-way' temporary passage, while the 'cave' that Song Wurui built in the Chijin Mountain is relatively stable...

"Does he have higher authority on the 'Key of Morning Light' than I do?

"In other words, is there any way he can borrow more power from the 'Xingcha Accessories'...

"Well, the latter is more likely...and the way he built the passage to the secret cave was not just the method of traveling through the 'Black Realm', but also the method borrowed from the original space of the 'Worry-Free Cave' .

"But no matter what, it shows that Song Wurui has extensive knowledge and his research on 'Xingcha Accessories' is far superior to mine.

"Could it be that... he is the real 'candidate'? Or is he closely related to a certain 'candidate'?

“Tsk, there are really more and more secrets about this person.

"But that's right. Being able to use his supernatural powers to plan and plot against the 'Dong Xuan' master shows how extraordinary he is!"

While thinking in his heart, Zhao Chen did not look back and walked straight forward along the stone steps.

Due to the sense of chaos in time and space in the "Black Domain", Zhao Chen was completely unable to judge how long he had been walking.

Maybe it was an hour, maybe it was two hours... In short, just when Zhao Chen couldn't help but want to go to the "Big Sun Star Cha" to confirm, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

And as he walked, the light became more and more obvious, and soon filled his field of vision.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen's spirit suddenly lifted, and then he jumped into the "light".

……

Jinzhou is located in the bitter cold land in the north of Daxia. It is bounded by the Liaozhou Snow Ridge to the east, the Zhitianshen Mountain to the north, the endless snowfields that you will get lost as soon as you enter it to the west, and the deserts and grasslands to the south, including Gan, Liang, Su and Ning. Four states.

It has a vast territory, with an area at least equivalent to ten Ganzhous, but its population is only about the same as Ganzhou. It is typically sparsely populated.

You must know that Ganzhou also has a small population. Not to mention compared with the nine states in the Central Plains, even the two states of Liang and Ning in the northwest have a population several times that of Ganzhou.

Therefore, despite the suppression of the aristocratic families in Jinzhou, the Mu family can actually only guarantee the stability of a few large cities, but cannot guarantee the stability of other small cities or more remote areas.

Therefore, all kinds of robbers, monks who committed crimes, and members of secret organizations like to hide in Jinzhou, and use this as a basis to cause trouble in several neighboring states.

And even if the Mu family has the assistance of the Six Gates and the Taoist Office, it is often beyond its reach.

After all, even if the true king of the Mu family could illuminate a state, he would not be able to keep an eye on what was going on in the territory all the time. Most of the time, he would only take action when it was absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, with the monitoring of the "Star Map of Zhoutian", it is difficult for evil spirits that are too powerful to enter the territory of Daxia...

However, it is precisely because of the lack of official manpower that in some cases in remote areas, the Jinzhou Provincial Office and Liumen will invite colleagues from other states to enter the country to assist.

Generally speaking, the principle is that if the person you want to arrest has committed a crime in any state, please invite the Taoist Office or Liumen comrades from that state to come over.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Hongxia, who was still in Anyi investigating news about the "Yuwang Sect", was transferred to Luntai, a small town in Beiting County, Jinzhou by a piece of official documents.

It is said that Luntai City was an important city in the ancient Tang Dynasty. However, with the disappearance of hundreds of kingdoms in the Western Regions, Luntai City, like Yumen, lost its original significance.

In addition, the endless snowfield environment to the west of Luntai is even worse than the endless desert to the west of Yumen, and no ruins have ever been discovered. As a result, Luntai City has long been dilapidated, and its population is even worse than some villages in Ganzhou. Until not long ago, The ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty that became a joke finally gained some popularity after it was discovered.

But with the news that Gu Feng, the owner of the tomb, recorded the stone tablet of "Killing the Enemy with a Gun of Fire", the tomb was regarded as a fake in the eyes of most people, and the popularity naturally dropped.

But there are also many professional archaeological teams and casual cultivators staying here. They think that the stone tablet may be the work of tomb robbers, and the tomb itself is still real.

As for why Yan Hongxia was sent here? That's because Li Yunfeng's maid "Dan Ju" seems to have escaped here, and the two Li family retainers who have been following her "Qi Yao Demon Banner" Yang Zicheng and "Ice Snow Cold Sword" Feng Sheng also showed up, and were make out.

——"Dan Ju" was originally Li Yunfeng's ex-wife, the dowry maid of Miss Chai's family. Later, she was exposed as a remnant of the "Xinguang Temple" because she instigated Li Yunfeng to use Ji Xin to pay for the assassination of Zhao Chen.

Because it was related to an evil organization, and she was from Ganzhou and was born in Yumen, Yan Hongxia, the top official of Yumen's "Taoist Office", was naturally seconded.

Since it was about the murderer who had assassinated Zhao Chen, she did not refuse.

On this day, Yan Hongxia was originally exploring traces of "Dan Ju" in a dilapidated manor that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years - various signs indicated that the other party had settled here.

But suddenly, she received a message from "The Lord", saying that Zhao Chen would arrive at her side soon and asked her to find a place where there was no one to stay.

Yan Hongxia was stunned at first when she heard the news, and then she was filled with joy. She had been separated from Zhao Chen for a long time, but she actually missed him a lot in her heart.

Thinking of the scene where she almost achieved that step at the end of her last dual cultivation, Yan Hongxia felt her face was so hot that even the cold wind in Beiting County could not cool her down.

After thinking wildly for a while, Yan Hongxia came back to her senses. She immediately found a relatively intact house in the backyard of the manor and walked in.

It is strange to say that the materials used in this abandoned manor are clearly better in the front yard and the main house. They even use a lot of "Zhenguo Stone" and "Ten Thousand Years Crimson Wood" that are said to be immortal, but those places are only Only an outline was left, and not even the remains of the building were left. Instead, the backyard was relatively intact.

Yan Hongxia naturally noticed the anomaly here, but with her eyesight she could not detect the special features of the houses in the backyard. She could only look forward to reading the investigation results of her predecessors when she returned to the big city.

She was thinking and waiting. After nearly an hour, a door condensed with light suddenly appeared in front of her. The "light door" flashed away, and just when Yan Hongxia thought she was dazzled, the man she had longed for appeared in her field of vision.

"Xiao Chen?" Yan Hongxia had no idea that Zhao Chen would "appear" in this way, and couldn't help but murmured, thinking that she was dreaming.

Because Zhao Chen did not hide his aura, his cultivation level at the peak of the seventh level of mana was completely revealed in front of Yan Hongxia.

"It's me." Zhao Chen nodded with a smile, and then asked, "How long did it take from the time you received the news from 'The Lord' to the time I arrived?"

The first reason for asking this was to find out how long it would take to travel through the "Black Domain Passage", and the second reason was to allow Yan Hongxia to confirm her identity.

Sure enough, when Zhao Chen mentioned "Lord", Yan Hongxia no longer had any doubts. Although she was shocked by the rapid improvement of the other party's cultivation level, considering the status of his favored person, she felt that it was not unacceptable...

She took a deep breath and replied, "About an hour and a half."

"One and a half hours... Yumen is more than 20,000 miles away from Luntai. Even if you use faster flying spells, most of them will take four or five days, and you have to fly day and night.

“Even a monk with nine levels of magic power can’t do it.

"For example, Sister Hongxia's slow 'Bi Wu Yun Tian Escape' requires flying for more than a week without eating or drinking... She probably used the official teleportation circle before coming here.

"As for the magical power of flying, some of it is actually about the same speed as magic, but it's just different. For example, the 'water and fire wings' that come with my 'two ritual robes' are no better than the magic of the artifacts that can assemble an 'airplane'" Flying Tiger Condor 'Quick...

"But Wang Daoyi's 'Transformation Divine Wind Escape' is famous for its 'fast' speed. A distance of 20,000 miles may be covered in a few hours... But even a magical monk cannot control the magical power for several hours continuously. Neither mana nor consciousness can hold it.

"But I, who used the 'Black Domain' channel, crossed the same distance in an hour and a half...'Baoguan' is right. As long as the journey is far enough, this is indeed the only way to reach the same distance in one and a half hours." , a first-class way to get on the road.

"Hey, businessmen always have some unknown 'shortcuts'... Maybe the 'Black Domain' symbolizes this kind of 'shortcuts'?"

As Zhao Chen's thoughts drifted further and further, Yan Hongxia saw that his clothes were thin and quickly took out a cold-proof coat from her storage bag.

——Since being promoted to the sixth rank "Deputy Kaozhao", Yan Hongxia also has an officially allocated storage bag.

Zhao Chen came back to his senses. Although he was already protected from the cold and heat by wearing the magic weapon "Liang Yi Taoist Robe", he still felt warm in his heart and allowed the other party to put the coat on his body.

Then, he looked at Yan Hongxia with his "Dongxu Eye" and found that the "Hongxia Sword" who "turned the golden hairpin into a sword and spit out red clouds" still had the same grace, but the cotton clothes on her body somewhat concealed her good figure. It's not as good as the previous Feiyu public server that can show her heroic appearance.

Of course, the above does not require "Dongxu Eye" observation. What he really "sees" is that Yan Hongxia's cultivation level is stuck at rank six, and the "Sword Qi" on her body is only "Red Emperor Yang Yuan", " The four paths of "Black Emperor's blood circulation", "Green Emperor's soul protection" and "White Emperor's soul protection" lack the feeling of "Yellow Emperor's master".

I don’t know if she didn’t get the point, or if she hadn’t yet collected the evil energy needed for the “Master Sword of the Yellow Emperor”.

Yan Hongxia felt a little embarrassed by Zhao Chen's gaze. She lowered her head slightly and said shyly, "What are you looking at?"

Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Zhao Chen just smiled and did not take the opportunity to talk nonsense. Instead, he patted the coat on his body and said: "Sister Hongxia really cares about me. It's not in vain that I came here to bring you a few pieces." Gift.

"Well, there's good news."

Although Yan Hongxia is thin-skinned and shy easily when it comes to matters between men and women, she has already accepted Zhao Chen's closeness and naturally will not be pretentious, so she asked curiously: "What is it?"

"There are four gifts...and two pieces of good news...Would you like to see the gifts first, or hear the good news first?" Zhao Chen deliberately let it slip and said with a smile.

Yan Hongxia thought for a while and said firmly: "Look at the gift first."

She could roughly guess the good news, so she was not in a hurry to hear it and planned to find out what gifts there were first.

She intuitively felt that the gift brought by Xiaochen would most likely help her increase her magic power.

Yan Hongxia was actually a little anxious about this, because Zhao Chen's magic power had surpassed hers, which gave her a sense of crisis. She was worried that she would not be able to keep up with him, could no longer help him, and would drift away from him. So far away that you can't even see his back.

Zhao Chen was not in a hurry to take out the gift, but said with a smile: "Sister Hongxia, you have cultivated your magic power from the fifth level to the sixth level in just one month. You really deserve to be called a genius."

Of course, let’s not mention that the other party changed from level 3 to level 5 in the past half month. That was the result of their dual cultivation.

Hearing this, Yan Hongxia couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "If I can be considered a genius from the fifth to the sixth level, then what does it mean if you go from refining the orifice to the seventh level of mana in one month?

"Even if you are the genius of a noble family and the Shangzong, that's it, right?"

In fact, it is almost the same as them. According to Qingyan, compared with some real monsters, I am actually a little slower... With this thought in his heart, Zhao Chen ostensibly took out the "Feng Yun He Ming Ring" A bright pearl, he said with a smile: "With this thing, Sister Hongxia, you can also experience the happiness of being a descendant of the 'Aristocratic Family'."

The pearl is exquisitely shaped, plump and round, and contains a huge amount of true energy, which is extremely pure.

Yan Hongxia had limited knowledge and did not recognize it for a moment, and looked at Zhao Chen with some confusion.

"This is the 'Shark Bead', which is transformed from the true energy left behind after the death of the Shark. It is enough to make your magic power reach the peak of the sixth level.

"If there wasn't a bottleneck between the sixth and seventh ranks, maybe we could all go directly to the seventh rank." With that said, Zhao Chen stuffed the shark bead into Yan Hongxia's hand, "This is the first gift for you."

"Shark Pearl... So this is the Shark Pearl!" Yan Hongxia's eyes were bright, and her eyes were full of surprise when she looked at the pearl.

Once she refines this bead, it will save her at least several months, or even a year... Of course, if she practices dual cultivation, she will only save one month.

Seeing Yan Hongxia's happy look, Zhao Chen also raised the corner of his lips, and gave him the magical artifact "Purple Jade Breaking Divine Hairpin" that Hou Shanxing gave him not long ago, and the "White Jade Thirty-Six" obtained from Wuyou Cave. "Dharma" was brought out.
