Chapter 223 Ancient Black Hand Huang Doudou

"Fairy, you at least gave me two fairy fruits at that time?" Lu Yang could probably imagine the turmoil caused by this fairy fruit.

The longer Lu Yang was in contact with the Immortal Fairy, the less he knew why she was killed - there were too many reasons and Lu Yang didn't know which one to choose.

"I've already told you that I want to give it to the 'most beautiful' demon. Don't you know that there can only be one 'most'?" The Immortal Fairy earnestly taught Lu Yang some basic grammar knowledge.

Lu Yang was silent for a long time before he said, "...what you said makes sense."

"Right." The Immortal Fairy put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

"Who did you give that fairy fruit to?"

"Afterwards, I heard from the Immortal of Time that at the wedding, the Dragon Clan's and Phoenix Clan's prodigies were arguing over the ownership of the immortal fruit and wanted to compete with each other."

"Speaking of which, Qilin Immortal is really stingy. He has immortal fruit himself, why not just give one to each of his wives? Why are they fighting?"

The Immortal Fairy shook her head. Compared with the Qilin Fairy, she was very generous to be able to take out a fairy fruit as a gift.

"And then?"

"Later, Qilin Immortal said that fighting at a wedding was not elegant after all, so it would be better to try a different method. It happened that three immortal guests came to the scene, so Yingtian Immortal, Jiuchong Immortal, and Suiyue Immortal were asked to be judges, but he declined to do so, in order to avoid a 2-2 situation."

"Look, if Qilin Immortal had invited me, wouldn't the five of us be judges? And you know me, I'm fair and impartial, so I can be the judge alone."

"If you think I'm beautiful and worry that I'll overshadow the geniuses of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, can I wear a veil?" As one of the ten most beautiful women in ancient times, the Immortal Fairy is very confident about her appearance.

Lu Yang thought to himself, Fairy, you should be more careful. It was obvious that the Qilin Fairy didn't want to be a judge and that's why he removed himself.

"What is the competition between the Dragon Clan's and Phoenix Clan's prodigies?"

"Cooking skills."

The Immortal Fairy shook her head regretfully, "The other four of Kirin Fairy don't know that I taught the Dragon Clan's and Phoenix Clan's culinary skills to them. Although we are not master and apprentice in name, we are master and apprentice in reality. They are not very skilled and have only learned one tenth or one twelfth of my culinary skills. Even so, it is hard to find a rival for them in the Tribulation Crossing Stage."

"During the competition, they were both taught by the same master, so neither could break the other's moves. It was natural that it was hard to tell which dish was better."

“The Fairy of Time told me that when the three of them tasted the food made by the Dragon Clan’s and Phoenix Clan’s geniuses, they were astonished. They felt as if the food contained the power of time, which made the three of them quickly review their entire lives.”

"I modestly say that I taught them, but they only learned the basics."

"The Immortal of Time was silent for a while before he said that the three of them had attacked the Immortal of Kirin too early and that he was not the culprit. I asked him what he meant by that, but he didn't say anything."

Lu Yang bowed to the Immortal Fairy to show his respect.

If others did not know the Immortal Fairy's character and only heard this story, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Immortal Fairy was the ancient black hand: without showing up in person, but with just an immortal fruit, he caused the geniuses of the Dragon and Phoenix clans to fight each other, the four ancient immortals turned against each other, and put the Qilin Fairy into an unkind and unjust place.

She also secretly taught the geniuses of the Dragon and Phoenix clans skills, waiting for the opportunity to act.

This kind of wisdom can only be described as unfathomable. No matter who it is, facing this old monster with deep scheming, they will be terrified and tremble with fear.

However, Lu Yang knew the Immortal Fairy very well, so he decided to use a different word to describe the Immortal Fairy's wisdom——

Great foolishness appears as wisdom.

…

"You should know that the Dragon and Phoenix tribes are the most arrogant races among the demon races. Their blood is extremely precious. It is extremely difficult for humans to obtain their blood, so the Phoenix Blood Stone is extremely important."

"Phoenix Blood Stone is not only the specialty of our Luofeng County, but also our pillar industry. Every year, the amount of spirit stones we earn from selling Phoenix Blood Stone is extremely huge!"

"Phoenix Blood Stone is not only a good material for refining weapons, but also has unexpected uses when worn as an ornament for a long time."

"My father told me that the mining of Phoenix Blood Stone has a history of 4,000 years in Luofeng County, and the mine is still inexhaustible, with an endless supply of Phoenix Blood Stone being mined."

Li Haoran introduced the economy of his hometown. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou kept nodding, like leaders who came to inspect.

"How many spirit stones does this Phoenix Blood Stone cost?" Meng Jingzhou was choosing in the shop. He thought this thing was rare, so he bought a few pieces for fun.

"Three hundred spirit stones."

"What about this one?"

"Four hundred and fifty spirit stones."

Meng Jingzhou continued to shake his head, thinking that such a cheap Phoenix Blood Stone was not worthy of his status.

"Take out the best Phoenix Blood Stone you have. I have plenty of money." Meng Jingzhou acted like a young master.

When the shop owner heard this, his eyes lit up, thinking he had met a big customer.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

He looked around and saw that only Meng Jingzhou and his group were in the store, so he asked them to follow him to the backyard. He carefully took out an exquisite wooden box from the shelf and opened it. A bright red stone the size of a pebble was quietly placed in the box. The red was as bright as blood, as if it was dyed red when the legendary old phoenix just died.

Even Qin Yanyan could feel the extraordinary nature of this Phoenix Blood Stone.

The shop owner whispered, "The mine caved in a few days ago. This is the last piece of Phoenix Blood Stone that was brought out of the mine. I spent a lot of time to get it. The price is 500,000 Spiritual Stones."

Meng Jingzhou nodded. That was good enough. "Ten bucks."

Five hundred thousand spirit stones and five million spirit stones are like drizzle in front of the eldest young master of the Meng family and are not worth mentioning.

The shop owner said with a bitter face: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to sell more, it's just that I only have this piece of Phoenix Blood Stone."

"Okay, then let's take this one." The shop owner was overjoyed. In fact, his offer was a bit high, leaving room for bargaining. Unexpectedly, Meng Jingzhou didn't even bargain and bought it directly.

The shop owner also gave several pieces of good quality Phoenix Blood Stone, but they were far inferior to the one Meng Jingzhou had.

Meng Jingzhou knew he could still bargain, but he was too lazy to bargain when buying things because it was too troublesome.

He asked the shop owner to drill holes and thread ropes through the Phoenix Blood Stone.

Meng Jingzhou wore it around his neck and felt pretty good about it.

He thought that since everyone was out shopping, he shouldn't be the only one buying Phoenix Blood Stone, so he went to several shops, wanting to buy one of similar quality for each of Lu Yang and the others. Unfortunately, after comparing them, he found that none of them were as good as his Phoenix Blood Stone.

Many shop owners asked Meng Jingzhou where he bought the Phoenix Blood Stone, but Meng Jingzhou didn't tell them.

“Why can’t I spend all my money?”

Li Haoran advised, "Brother Meng, forget it. The Phoenix Power contained in the Phoenix Blood Stone is of little use to us. Even if it is for refining equipment, I don't have the ability to refine such a high-quality Phoenix Blood Stone now. We can't use it even if we buy it."

"Okay." After hearing Li Haoran say this, Meng Jingzhou could only give up.

"By the way, what is the effect of wearing the Phoenix Blood Stone for a long time?" Meng Jingzhou asked, pointing at the Phoenix Blood Stone on his chest.

"Aphrodisiac."

I got home late. The second update will be around 11 o'clock.
