Chapter 1057: Return to the Trading Hall and Change Mask
"I am back!"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, looking at Wu Zhaomei's happy expression, and he felt quite happy in his heart as well.
hum!
The divine consciousness spread out, covering the entire territory where the cave was located.
With Chen Xuan’s cave as the center, the area within a radius of fifty miles is Chen Xuan’s cave territory.
Within this range, Chen Xuan can do whatever he wants.
As long as he is willing, he can also allow others to open caves here.
Of course, for many cultivators, they would not do this.
After all, every inch of land in Sishui City is worth a lot of money.
Not to mention the immortal cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, even the strong ones in the Void Refinement Stage need to accumulate merit points and then wait in line to be allocated a cave dwelling.
Immortal cultivators like Chen Xuan, who are at the Spirit Transformation Stage and have their own cave abode, are extremely rare.
Who, when owning a cave alone, would be willing to share his private territory with others?
"Our cave is in an excellent location. It seems to be where a main spiritual vein is located."
"It seems that Mr. Xu really didn't trick me this time!"
Chen Xuan withdrew his spiritual thoughts.
He saw that in his territory, there was not only an excellent spiritual vein suitable for opening up a cave.
He was even happier when he found that there were many spiritual medicines and spiritual mines within a radius of fifty miles.
The most important thing is that if he wants, he can cultivate this large piece of land in front of him and plant spiritual herbs and other things.
In this way, even these things can provide Chen Xuan with a large amount of cultivation resources every year.
However, as Chen Xuan is an alchemist, he naturally looks down upon these things.
"Husband, Old Xu is very kind to us. He personally selected this cave for us."
Wu Zhaomei explained with a smile.
Chen Xuan nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, when the two walked into the cave, Chen Xuan discovered that a protective formation had already been set up in the cave.
Although its power is not very strong, it is enough to protect the cave.
"When I have time, I will personally refine some powerful formations to protect the cave." Chen Xuan said secretly.
hum!
The divine consciousness dispersed again.
Chen Xuan discovered that the cave in front of him was not only clean and tidy, but also very warm.
This surprised Chen Xuan very much.
"Mei'er, did you clean up this cave by yourself?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.
"Who else could it be if not me?"
Wu Zhaomei rolled her eyes at Chen Xuan.
Every frown and smile is very attractive.
Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, Chen Xuan's heart was instantly moved.
Before Wu Zhaomei could react, Chen Xuan pounced on her like a hungry tiger.
Wu Zhaomei was hesitant and reluctant, and soon the two of them became passionately attracted to each other.
Nothing was said for a while, and they waited until the next morning. After Chen Xuan and Wu Zhaomei got up contentedly, Chen Xuan looked at Wu Zhaomei and smiled, "Mei'er, we finally have our own cave in Sishui City. So, I plan to invite some fellow Taoists to have some fun. Do you have any objection?"
"Husband, you can handle these matters on your own. Anyway, Mei'er won't object." Wu Zhaomei said with a smile.
Chen Xuan smiled happily.
Wu Zhaomei's gentleness and thoughtfulness made him feel warm in his heart.
After a pause, Chen Xuan told us the information he had heard about Chen Jiao.
After hearing this, Wu Zhaomei said, "My husband, Chen Jiao actually appeared in the Green Water Dragon Clan. This is something no one could have predicted. However, if my husband insists on looking for Chen Jiao, let Mei'er go with you."
Wu Zhaomei looked worried.
Chen Xuan was alone, and there was a clan of green water dragons ahead, which made Wu Zhaomei feel uneasy.
This time, Wu Zhaomei planned to follow Chen Xuan to the Green Water Dragon Clan no matter what.
"Mei'er, going to the Blue Water Dragon Clan is not an easy task. We must make some preparations."
"Also, I will go to the trading hall tomorrow to buy some things that can conceal my aura."
"When the time comes, we can disguise ourselves as cultivators from the Jiaolong Clan. This way, our safety will be somewhat guaranteed."
Chen Xuan knew that he could not abandon Wu Zhaomei, so he had to agree.
There was no conversation for a while. Until the next morning, Chen Xuan left the cave and went directly to the trading hall in Sishui City.
At this moment, the trading hall is still as lively as before.
Countless cultivators from the human and demon races come in and out here.
However, Chen Xuan did not stroll around, but went straight to the stall of the female demon cultivator with whom he often traded.
At this moment, the female demon was trading with someone.
When she saw Chen Xuan coming, she looked at him and smiled apologetically.
Chen Xuan stood aside calmly, and after the guest left, he walked over with a smile.
"Fairy, long time no see. Your business seems to be getting more and more prosperous!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. What I do is just a small business. Fellow Daoist, you haven't come to the trading hall for such a long time. Could it be that you have been carrying out a mission during this period?" The female cultivator from the demon clan asked curiously.
Chen Xuan smiled but said nothing.
Seeing this, the female cultivator from the demon clan did not continue to ask questions.
Instead, he flipped his hand, took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist, this is what you asked me to collect last time. Please take a look."
Chen Xuan nodded.
He swept his divine sense through the storage bag and saw the things that the female cultivator from the demon clan had collected for him. Each item was of extremely high quality.
Chen Xuan immediately smiled with satisfaction.
"The fairy is really reliable. In this case, please name a price!"
"I have spent a lot of time and effort to collect these things for you. So, this time the reward is naturally more expensive than before. If you want to trade with elixirs for improving your cultivation, you will need at least three bottles. If you want to trade with elixirs for healing, you only need two and a half bottles."
The female demon cultivator said directly.
Chen Xuan already had his own plans in mind.
He knew very well that if he went to the shops in Si Shui City to buy the things that the female cultivator from the demon clan had collected for him, he would need at least nearly 10 million top-grade spirit stones.
The offer made by the female demon cultivator was well within his affordability.
Chen Xuan was too lazy to bargain.
With a flip of his hand, Chen Xuan took out a bottle of Seven Star Pills and handed it to the female cultivator of the demon clan.
"Fairy, please take a look, what if I trade with this kind of elixir?"
The female demon cultivator was slightly stunned.
Soon, a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Is this... a seventh-grade Seven Star Pill? Fellow Daoist, if you want to trade with this precious pill, you only need two bottles."
The female cultivators of the demon clan were extremely happy.
He held the jade bottle handed to him by Chen Xuan tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that Chen Xuan would go back on his word.
Chen Xuan smiled, flipped his hand, took out another bottle of seventh-grade Seven Star Pill and handed it to the female cultivator.
Soon, Chen Xuan took out another jade slip and handed it to the female cultivator.
"Fairy, this is what I need this time. Please take some time!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
The female cultivator looked overjoyed.
The transaction with Chen Xuan is mutually beneficial to both her and Chen Xuan.
Naturally, she was happy to help Chen Xuan.
However, when her mind swept across the jade slip that Chen Xuan handed over, and saw the rare treasures listed therein, her brows immediately furrowed.
"Fellow Daoist, the Tianlong Beast Demon Pill and the 100,000-year-old Lingxu Grass that you need are things that are hard to come by. I'm not sure if I can find them." The female cultivator said.
Although Chen Xuan had expected this, he still frowned slightly when he heard the female cultivator say this.
"In that case, if the fairy can find out information about these things, I will also pay the corresponding reward."
The hundred thousand year old Lingxu grass and Tianlong beast demon pill are good things for refining Peiyuan Lianxu pill.
If he cannot gather these things together, Chen Xuan will not have much confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"In that case, I can help you, fellow Taoist." The female cultivator agreed.
"Thank you very much!"
Chen Xuan thanked him and left.
Soon, Chen Xuan appeared at a stall that specialized in selling formation diagrams and spiritual ores for refining formations.
After some bargaining, Chen Xuan purchased a set of Phantom Cloud Formation Diagrams, and a set of Three-Rank Fiery Formation Diagrams, as well as various natural treasures needed to refine these two formations.
The Phantom Cloud Formation is a protective formation.
Once activated, it has a miraculous effect of confusing the enemy, and the coverage area is about fifty miles.
It just covers Chen Xuan’s cave territory.
Chen Xuan planned to set up the Illusion Cloud Formation in the cave after he had refined it.
As for the Three-Armored Fiery Array, it is a powerful protective formation that can withstand an attack from an immortal cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
Chen Xuan planned to carry this formation with him for self-defense after he had refined it.
After finishing these things, Chen Xuan was still not in a hurry to leave.
Soon, Chen Xuan appeared in front of a stall specializing in selling camouflage masks.
Chen Xuan’s divine sense swept across those masks with different looks.
He couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
"With my divine sense, I can't see through these masks. It seems that the effects of these masks should be very good." Chen Xuan said in surprise.
Before he could speak, the stall owner looked at Chen Xuan coldly and said, "Daoyou, each of these masks I have is worth a lot of money. If you are not worth much, you should ask somewhere else. Turn left when you go out, and you will find another stall that specializes in selling masks. Their fake masks are cheap."
Chen Xuan looked stunned.
When others do business, they want to keep all their customers.
This plain-looking old man is so cold and arrogant.
This really surprised Chen Xuan.
If it weren't for the fact that the masks he was selling were really effective, Chen Xuan would have left long ago.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you are so arrogant. I am just a little curious because I see these masks that even my divine sense cannot see through them. If your mask is just average in effect, I would not bother to take a look at it." Chen Xuan said unhappily.
When the stall owner heard this, instead of getting angry, he just laughed.
"Fellow Daoist, what you said does make sense. Each of these masks of mine is extraordinary. Not only can it change your appearance, it can even change your aura. Each mask can be replaced with thirty-six different facial expressions. It can disguise you as almost any race you are familiar with."
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
With a casual move, a mask quickly fell into his hands.
As spiritual power was injected, Chen Xuan discovered that the mask was rapidly fitting into his skin and even blending into his face.
This magical effect made Chen Xuan extremely happy.
"The quality of this mask is indeed good. But I don't know if it can block the prying eyes of cultivators at a higher level?" Chen Xuan said.
"Haha, don't worry, fellow Daoist. Unless you are a cultivator in the middle stage of the Refinement Realm or above, no one can see through your disguise." The stall owner was full of confidence.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to buy it.
After playing with them carefully for a while, he said, "Daoyou, I want two masks like this. Name your price."
"Haha, my friend, this mask is not cheap. Each one costs one million top-grade spirit stones. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
The stall owner looked at Chen Xuan with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan took out two million top-grade spirit stones and threw them to the stall owner, then picked up two masks and left.
