Chapter 442 Flower Fairy
Chapter 442 Flower Fairy
Master He Zhidao and his disciple stayed in Yunshan Sect for a month. After helping Fu Lingchen refine the Guihun Pill, they went to Xichuan Island with Pei Yun. Before leaving, the three of them first went to Tiandan City to purchase a batch of alchemy materials.
The Qidu Sect is located in Wufang City in Xichuanzhou. After waiting in line for half a day and paying an entrance fee, they finally entered the city.
Upon entering Wufang City, Pei Yun's first impression was that it was messy and chaotic. The stalls along the street were arranged in a disorderly manner, blocking most of the streets on both sides. Walking on the street, one could see quarrels and scolding from time to time, and even fights and spells would break out on the spot. Even so, there were no city guards to maintain order.
"Don't make a fuss! This is not the Beiqi Continent controlled by the sect. There are countless forces, big and small, in Xichuan Continent. I may occupy this territory today, and you may take it back tomorrow. Those forces have no intention of operating a city. Wufang City is already pretty good. After all, the Qidu Sect is also a dominant force in the area and has controlled Wufang City for more than two hundred years..." He Zhidao explained to Pei Yun.
Pei Yun looked around and asked, "If someone uses magic to kill someone in public, won't the Qidu Sect do anything? What if someone hurts innocent people..."
"The Qidu Sect is only responsible for collecting taxes and city gate fees. They don't care whether the people in the city are dead or injured. But don't worry, they have disciples patrolling every night to collect the bodies and burn them, so you won't see any stinking corpses..."
Hearing this, Pei Yun frowned and asked, "Is Xichuanzhou so chaotic?"
"Senior Sister Pei, Wufang City is a big city in Xichuanzhou, so its management is pretty good. If you go to those small cities or remote places in Xichuanzhou, you will know how chaotic Xichuanzhou is..." He Jing said.
The three of them chatted as they came to the largest inn in the city. He Zhidao was just about to take out his spirit stones when Pei Yun came to the counter and put a storage bag down. He said to the innkeeper, "We need a quiet and independent guest house. Let's rent it for half a year first."
There is still more than a month before the poison tasting conference, and the conference will last for three months. Since Pei Yun has to stay here for at least a few months, he naturally wants to live more comfortably and does not want to be disturbed by outsiders.
Seeing Pei Yun being so generous, He Zhidao immediately smiled, came to Pei Yun, patted the counter, and said, "Boss, why don't you make arrangements quickly?"
The innkeeper took a look at the spiritual stones in the storage bag, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his shrewd face. He bent over and said respectfully: "Dear guests, please come in. I will let the waiter take you to the backyard."
After arranging the accommodation, Pei Yun originally planned to take out the Atlas of Hundred Poisons given to her by He Zhidao and study it carefully.
The above content says that all things are interdependent and mutually restraining, and each spiritual medicine has different medicinal properties. Some spiritual medicines can be used as both poison and antidote. Pei Yun is very interested in this atlas.
She had always thought that her talent for alchemy was pretty good, but when she refined pills, she always followed existing recipes. She collected a lot of recipes, but never thought of compiling one herself.
The appearance of Master He Zhidao and his apprentice this time gave her new insights. What she lacked was not the alchemy technique, but the understanding of the medicinal properties of elixirs.
I had just been looking for a while when there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Uncle Master, Junior Brother." He Zhidao and He Jing were standing outside the door.
He Zhidao pulled Pei Yun out and muttered, "Don't just focus on practicing! Let's go outside and get some information."
The three of them came to the front hall of the inn, which was the largest inn in the entire Wufang City. The first and second floors of the hall were full of people. The three of them finally found an empty seat in the corner and ordered some ordinary food and drinks.
He Zhidao drank a sip of wine comfortably and said to the two of them, "There are all kinds of people here. Look at the people around. I guarantee that most of them are here to participate in the poison testing conference. It's a good opportunity for us to get some information..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came in aggressively. There were more than ten people, led by two young men and women. The others seemed to be their subordinates, and they walked in surrounded by them.
"Who is the innkeeper? Hurry up and arrange a private room for our Wanhua Valley..." A woman stood up and said in an arrogant tone.
"Dear fellow Taoists from Wanhua Valley, I'm really sorry, this private room is full. How about you sit in the lobby?" The shopkeeper stepped forward quickly and said apologetically.
"How can the daughter of the master of Wanhua Valley sit in such a vulgar place?! Hurry up and ask someone to vacate the private room..."
The woman looked back at the woman in the lead and saw that she frowned and looked disgusted. She immediately understood what she meant.
"The daughter of the master of Wanhua Valley? Isn't that the Fairy of Flowers?!"
"So this is the Fairy of Flowers. She is indeed very beautiful and has inherited the looks of her parents..."
"Look! The five-colored robe she is wearing is made from the skin and fur of a Lingxu-level (God-transforming) five-colored beast that the leader of the Golden Sword Sect killed. When she wears this robe, even a God-transforming cultivator can hardly hurt her..."
Pei Yun listened to the whispers of the people around him and couldn't help asking Xiang He Zhidao and the others, "Who is the Fairy of Flowers? The daughter of the master of the Wanhua Valley?"
"Both the Wanhua Valley and the Jindao Sect are relatively large forces in Xichuanzhou. They are not much different from the Qidu Sect. This Baihua Fairy is the daughter of the Wanhua Valley Master and the Jindao Sect Master. The Wanhua Valley Master has only this one daughter. Although the Jindao Sect Master has concubines, she is the only legitimate daughter. Naturally, the two dote on her..."
"...Uncle-master, how do you know so much?" Pei Yun marveled at He Zhidao's gossip skills.
He Jing couldn't help but say something for his master: "Senior Sister, this Fairy of Flowers is very famous in Xichuanzhou, because..."
He was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted by a mocking voice not far away: "I was wondering who came to the territory of the Qidu Sect. It turns out that the person who was chasing after Venerable Lingxi is here!"
This sentence immediately ignited the atmosphere at the scene. Some people in the lobby couldn't help but laugh out loud. The sarcasm was self-evident.
"Shut up!" the woman who had been speaking on behalf of the Fairy of Flowers shouted.
The Fairy of Flowers, who was wearing a colorful dress, had a look of exasperation on her face. She looked at the person who was speaking with shame and anger, and gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it!"
As he spoke, a peony flower appeared out of thin air in his hand, and the petals flew towards the man like a hidden weapon.
The petals seemed harmless, but when they passed in front of people, anyone who got close could feel a hint of sharpness.
A few petals accidentally touched the table and chairs nearby, which were immediately cut into several pieces. The innocent people affected were frightened and stood up to avoid it.
The sarcastic woman sneered and raised her hand. There was a spider mark on her palm, and the mark was faintly glowing red. The next moment, a dense spider web appeared in front of her like a barrier, resisting the attack of the Fairy of Flowers.
"Senior Sister Zhao, it looks like someone is angry out of shame!"
The woman who made the sarcastic remarks was accompanied by three other people. The four of them sat around a table, with undisguised mockery on their faces, and confronted the group of people led by the Fairy of Flowers.
"She's a disciple of the Qidu Sect!" As soon as Senior Sister Zhao made a move, the people present immediately recognized her identity.
The originally silent scene became lively again, and everyone present gossiped in low voices about the feud between the Qi Du Sect and the Fairy of Flowers, mainly the feud between the Qi Du Sect's Grand Elder Yue Ji and the Fairy of Flowers.
After all, one is the fourth wife of Venerable Lingxi, and the other is the admirer of Venerable Lingxi who he desires but cannot get.
Pei Yun never expected to see such a love-hate relationship involving Chen Lingxi here. She couldn't help but be speechless.
