[Chapter 245] Phoenix Tears and Blood Essence
[Chapter 245] Phoenix Tears and Blood Essence
After recognizing who the other person was, Ye Yisheng's mind couldn't help but echo Nangong Chenyu's previous instructions.
"Be careful with this person. If you meet him alone, it's best not to confront him head-on."
Even though Nangong Chenyu did not explicitly state the reason for being careful with this person, this one reminder alone was enough to make Ye Yisheng be more vigilant and take this person seriously.
Through past experiences, Ye Yishen could almost guess that this person was special. To sum it up in one sentence, he couldn't kill the other person.
Now that they meet again, he will naturally remind Nangong Chenyu.
[Ah Yu, look at the male cultivator in blue robes in front of you. 】
However, when Nangong Chenyu looked in the direction Ye Yisheng was looking, the man in blue robes and his companion walked into a shop.
Therefore, Nangong Chenyu only saw the other person's back.
Moving your eyes upwards, you can see three beautiful words "Treasure Pavilion" written on the plaque.
The moment Ye Yisheng saw these three words, he inexplicably had the urge to go in and take a look.
He immediately noticed something was wrong and looked away. After not seeing the words "Treasure Pavilion", the desire to go into the store to take a look disappeared.
Nangong Chenyu’s soul is strong, and he did not end up in the same situation as Ye Yishen. Moreover, Nangong Chenyu could tell at a glance that the person who wrote "Treasure Pavilion" had cast a spell on these words.
Anyone with poor concentration and low cultivation will involuntarily walk into this store when seeing these three words.
From what we have seen so far, this underground city is bustling and prosperous, but not chaotic. It is obvious that there are powerful people above the Tribulation Crossing Stage in charge.
Being able to use the name of a shop that has been cast a spell shows that it is allowed.
Nangong Chenyu was not only curious about this underground city, but also a little curious about the things sold in the Treasure Pavilion.
"Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion and take a look at the person you asked me to see."
"Wait." Almost being deceived, Ye Yishen felt that Treasure Pavilion might be an irregular shop: "The name of Treasure Pavilion is weird, didn't you notice?" No way!
"It's okay, it's just a bewitching technique." Nangong Chenyu said lightly.
Ye Yishen who was almost tricked: “…” Just one more!
"Then let's go!"
The two walked straight towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Although the name of the Treasure Pavilion store has been hypnotized, not many people are deceived. There were only six or seven customers in the shop, and their cultivation levels were either in the Nascent Soul stage or the Spirit Transformation stage.
The reason why there are no guests with lower cultivation levels is because the lowest cultivation level required to come to the underground trading city is the Nascent Soul Stage.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen walked into the Treasure Pavilion and realized that it was a store that sold various necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hairpins and other accessories.
The accessories sold in the left display cabinet are suitable for women, and the accessories sold in the right display cabinet are suitable for men.
The accessories in the store are nice-looking, but unfortunately only a few of them have special functions. These accessories with special functions come with the materials used to make them.
Anyone with good eyesight can tell at a glance that the accessories in the Treasure Pavilion have not been made by a weapon refiner.
No wonder the shop owner has to use hypnosis to attract customers!
Nangong Chenyu took a quick look at the situation in the store and then set his sights on the male cultivator in blue robes that Ye Yisheng had mentioned.
Just by seeing the male cultivator's profile, Nangong Chenyu recognized who the other person was.
He is the protagonist of the fourth storybook - Yan Feiyu.
After a year, Yan Feiyu's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. At this moment, he was accompanying a woman to look at the ornaments in the display case on the left.
According to the plot routine in the storybook, there will most likely be good things where the protagonist appears.
"Ayi, take a look first. If you like anything, buy it. We have no shortage of spiritual stones." Nangong Chenyu whispered in Ye Yisheng's ear, and then gestured in the direction of Yan Feiyu: "I'll go over there and take a look."
As soon as Ye Yisheng entered the store, he was attracted by the beautiful accessories in the display cabinet. Hearing Nangong Chenyu's words, he waved his hand: "Go ahead!"
Then he started looking at the accessories in the display case on the right.
Nangong Chenyu who stayed where he was: “…” Why did he feel like Ye Yisheng was waiting for him to say this?
Nangong Chenyu shook his head.
This must be his illusion.
Yan Feiyu, who was not far away, felt that someone was looking at him, but he didn't care. Because for him, being stared at by all kinds of eyes is a common occurrence.
The woman traveling with him was named Kong Yingying, a descendant of the five-colored peacock. However, her bloodline is impure, and her true form is a mixed-feather peacock.
Kong Yingying put a pearl hairpin on her bun and asked Yan Feiyu: "Brother Yan, do you think I look good in this hairpin?"
Kong Yingying looked a little out of place in a bright red dress and a pearl hairpin.
The corner of Yan Feiyu's mouth twitched slightly, and just when he was about to say "beautiful" against his conscience, he caught a glimpse of red out of the corner of his eye. He glanced into the display case and pointed at a hairpin inlaid with a ruby.
"I think this hairpin is more suitable for your outfit today."
Kong Yingying subconsciously looked in the direction Yan Feiyu pointed and saw a plum blossom hairpin inlaid with rubies.
The hairpin head is decorated with six small plum blossoms, which fall on the lotus. The ruby in the middle of the lotus is the finishing touch of the whole hairpin. When people see it, they feel their eyes light up.
Such a beautiful ruby hairpin was clearly placed next to the pearl hairpin, but until Yan Feiyu brought it up, she seemed blind and didn't see it.
Something is wrong!
What's even more strange is that when she saw this hairpin, there seemed to be a voice in her heart saying: I must get it no matter what the cost.
Nangong Chenyu came over and saw the ruby plum blossom hairpin before Yan Feiyu said that. He hurriedly said to the waiter before the two of them: "I want this hairpin. How much spirit stones are there?"
On the surface, the ruby plum blossom hairpin has no special function except for being beautiful. The original price is only 2,999 medium-grade spirit stones, and now there are two customers who are interested in it.
The waiter rolled his eyes and quoted a price several times higher: "Not expensive, only nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine medium-grade spirit stones."
After quoting the price, the waiter was not in a hurry to take out the hairpin. He looked like he was waiting for Nangong Chenyu to take out the spirit stone first. In fact, he was stealing glances at Yan Feiyu and the other man out of the corner of his eye, hoping that they would raise the price.
Just as Kong Yingying was about to raise the price, she heard Nangong Chenyu say, "Please take out the hairpin. I want to take a look at it first."
After hearing this, Kong Yingying was no longer in a hurry to raise the price. She planned to get the hairpin first and then think about other things.
Without waiting for any bidding, the waiter could only take out the ruby plum blossom hairpin with regret. But he didn't expect that the next moment, two afterimages attacked the ruby plum blossom hairpin in his hand at the same time.
He saw a flash before his eyes, and the hairpin in his hand disappeared, replaced by a dry bag.
"Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones, no need to look for them."
After saying this, Nangong Chenyu walked inside while looking at the ornaments in other display cabinets. As for the ruby plum blossom hairpin, he naturally put it in his personal space.
Kong Yingying was slow and didn't get the hairpin, so she turned around and grabbed Nangong Chenyu: "Stop right there."
Nangong Chenyu naturally couldn't let Kong Yingying catch him. He easily dodged the hand that Kong Yingying stretched out and threw out two words: "Not for sale!"
He bought the things first, and he would be a fool to give them away.
Kong Yingying didn't expect Nangong Chenyu to be so disrespectful to her. Her father is the Peacock King. As the Peacock Princess, she has always been praised.
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know him, and I don't want to know him." Nangong Chenyu flicked the hem of his clothes that was almost caught by Kong Yingying, and said with an expression that said, "Don't get close to me."
The spoiled Kong Yingying exploded.
"You're looking for death!"
Suddenly, a fiery red whip appeared in her hand, and she was about to whip Nangong Chenyu. But just as she was about to throw it away, Yan Feiyu grabbed her hand.
"Yingying, don't be impulsive, leave it to me."
The touch on her hand brought Kong Yingying back to her senses, and she nodded to Yan Feiyu with a red face.
Yan Feiyu let go of Kong Yingying's hand and clasped his fists towards Nangong Chenyu: "I am the last disciple of the Shinto Sect's Yiyang Patriarch - Yan Feiyu."
"I am willing to pay ten times the spiritual stones to buy the ruby plum blossom hairpin that you just bought. I wonder if you can part with it?"
He offered his identity, hoping that Nangong Chenyu would be sensible and take the initiative to give up his things.
But before Nangong Chenyu could speak, the waiter interrupted and said, "My two guests, we still have the ruby plum blossom hairpins here. How many do you want?"
The waiter took out five identical ruby plum blossom hairpins and placed them on the display counter.
Kong Yingying looked at them one by one, and none of them gave her the same feeling as the one she saw before.
Nangong Chenyu also glanced at the five hairpins, and before Kong Yingying could speak, he said to Yan Feiyu: "Five hairpins, I can wear them in rotation for several days. Daoist friend, you don't want me to give them up, do you?"
Yan Feiyu: “…”
"Please do as you wish, fellow Taoist."
Yan Feiyu didn't notice any difference between the hairpin bought by Nangong Chenyu and the five hairpins the waiter now took out, so he naturally wouldn't stop Nangong Chenyu anymore.
"Brother Yan, I just want..."
Yan Feiyu interrupted Kong Yingying and handed a bag to the waiter: "I want all these five hairpins."
He took the five hairpins and inserted one of them into Kong Yingying's bun, and handed the remaining four to Kong Yingying.
"The clouds resemble clothes and the flowers resemble beauty; the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew on the face makes it gorgeous." He complimented her in passing, hoping that the princess would not act like a demon again.
Kong Yingying didn't want to leave a bad impression on Yan Feiyu, so even though she was unwilling, she could only watch Nangong Chenyu leave the Treasure Pavilion.
Nangong Chenyu naturally did not leave alone, he left the Treasure Pavilion with Ye Yishen.
As he walked forward, Ye Yisheng curiously asked Nangong Chenyu, "Just now I saw those two people arguing with you in the Treasure Pavilion. Did you buy something good that they took a fancy to?"
"Yes, it's a hairpin."
"What special function does that hairpin have?"
[There is a drop of phoenix tear blood in the hairpin.] 】Nangong Chenyu transmitted the message to Ye Yishen.
