Ye Zhen did not want Little Fire Phoenix to be too eye-catching. In case it was discovered to be an ancient beast, it would be snatched away.
"You see, this little bird is so ugly. It is certainly not a purebred." Ye Zhen said with a smile, silently summoning Little Fire Phoenix back.
Little Fire Phoenix flew back and perched on Ye Zhen's shoulder, blinking at Madame Ye and Ye Muxin with its big eyes.
"The uglier a young Phoenix is, the closer it is to a purebred." Madame Ye said. Although she had never seen an ancient Fire Phoenix, she had heard a lot about it.
"This woman has a good eye!" Little Fire Phoenix silently communicated with Ye Zhen's mind.
Ye Zhen pretended not to hear its secret words.
"It looks so ugly, just like a little crow." Ye Muxin said. "It's really a skill to be able to scare the Luan."
"Haha." Ye Zhen laughed. "In fact, I don't even know if it is a Phoenix. Anyway, I'll keep it for fun."
Little Fire Phoenix's eyes were about to burst into flames. It resisted the urge to spit fire at Ye Muxin. She was ugly! Her whole family was ugly! How did it look like a crow? It was clearly a crow that looked like it now. Also, was it because it was ugly that it scared the Luan? Was it because it was the king of longevity?
Ye Zhen felt the strong anger of Little Fire Phoenix. She laughed and held it in her arms, grabbing a handful of fruit to feed it.
"When we arrive at the Holy Sect, try not to let your Phoenix out." Madame Ye whispered.
"Oh …" Ye Zhen nodded gently. It seemed that she still had to keep Little Fire Phoenix in her space.
Madame Ye laughed again. "However, there are only a few people in this world who have really seen a Phoenix. Even if others see its current appearance, they probably only think of it as a little crow."
"Third Aunt, is this little bird really a Phoenix? Will it be able to summon ten thousand beasts in the future when it grows up? "Ye Muxin asked in surprise.
"Maybe there is such a possibility." Madame Ye said.
Ye Muxin looked at Ye Zhen enviously. "Third sister, you are so lucky."
The Heavenly Spiritual Root and the Illuminated Phoenix Chalcedony were already very hard to come by. Now, there was even a Mythological Beast that might be a Phoenix. Once her cultivation level increased, she would be able to walk unhindered in the mainland.
"So, living in the mountains actually has its benefits," Ye Rou said with a smile.
"En, that makes sense. When I come back from Saint Sect, I will also go to that forest of yours to stay for a while. Let's see if I can pick up a phoenix." Ye Muxin said seriously.
Third Madam Ye glared at her, "I'm sure you can't stand it for two days."
"Third Aunt, don't look down on me," Ye Muxin mumbled.
"You must be careful when you go to the Sage Sect. All these years, because of your second uncle, the relationship between the Great Sage Sect and the Sage Sect is getting worse and worse. Even the triennial competition is like a life and death battle. The Great Sage Sect has never won a single time, and their ranking in the continent will always be below the Sage Sect. This year, the Sect Leader has made up his mind to duel with the Sage Sect. You ah, you must practice more, so that you won't be at a disadvantage when the time comes," Third Madam Ye said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was stunned. "Xiao Huo has already recognized me as its master. Can others still snatch it away?"
"If I kill you, how can this little thing have a master? People are sinister, so it's better to be careful. " Third Madam Ye was a little worried. Ye Zhen's luck was better than anyone else's, but she did not have a good master to guide her since she was a child. If she had started practicing since she was a child, who knew what kind of cultivation she would have now?
She had treasures all over her body, but she did not have the ability to protect herself. This was the most worrying thing, and now she had a guard by her side.
"Third Aunt, I will be careful," Ye Zhen whispered.
"I will protect Third Sister," Ye Muxin also said seriously.
Third Madam Ye smiled and nodded, looking at the scenery outside through the window. "It's going to be dark. Black Water City is in front of us. Tomorrow morning, we can go shopping in the market place and see if there is anything we need to buy."
"Market place?" Ye Zhen looked at Ye Muxin, waiting for her explanation.
"You really don't know anything." Ye Muxin sighed and explained to Ye Zhen, "Black Water City actually has another name, the Black Market. Every nine days, there will be a market place. The largest auction house in Zhou Country is here. However, the auction house is only held once every three months, so we can't catch up. But we can go to the market place to see it."
Ye Zhen asked, "What is in the market place?"
"Everything. Ownerless spirit beasts whose masters were killed, spirit treasures found from nowhere. Anyway, sometimes if you are lucky, you can find rare treasures in the world in the market place." Ye Muxin said, "However, there are all kinds of people in the market place. If you meet a black warrior, don't provoke him."
"Black warrior?" Ye Zhen's face was full of confusion. She really didn't understand anything.
Ye Muxin explained, "When we transform our spiritual energy into Gang Qi, we will become martial artists. But some people are eager for success and will use some means to speed up the transformation. The cultivation method they practice is cruel and merciless. They even need to absorb other people's spiritual energy to maintain it. These people are black warriors."
"I see." Ye Zhen nodded cautiously. She would stay away from these people.
"Third Madam, we have arrived at Black Water City." The servant outside said.
Ye Zhen opened the curtains and saw a big river in front of her. Strangely, the water was black.
"This Black Water River is so deep that you can't see the bottom. No one has ever come up here. In the past, anyone who dared to make trouble in Black Water City was thrown into the Black Water River." Ye Muxin knew that Ye Zhen must have never heard of this and took the initiative to explain to her.
"Oh, I see." Ye Rou nodded. She looked at the black river and felt that it looked quite scary. "Who is the City Lord of Blackwater City?"
"Lord?" Ye Muxin stared blankly for a moment, then immediately understood why Ye Zhen had asked this question. She began to laugh loudly. "Silly Third Sister, the Xuantian Continent only has one City Lord. Aside from the City Lord of Haotian City, there are no other City Lords."
Ye Zhen was really shocked. There is only one Lord of Black Water City in the whole continent? "Why …"
"There is no why. It has been like this for hundreds of years." Ye Muxin waved her hand. "Black Water City only has a magistrate, not a Lord of Black Water City."
"The Lord of Haotian City is so special. Who is he?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
Bai Shisan, who was outside the carriage, heard Ye Zhen's question. His heart was in his throat. He couldn't let Madam know that the Lord of Black Water City was Emperor Mo.
The Lord of Black Water City said that Madam knew the relationship between Emperor Mo and Mo Rongzhan.
"Well, let's go into the city first. Sit down," Madam Ye said to her two nieces.
Ye Muxin didn't continue to explain. She blinked at Ye Zhen and said, "I will tell you later."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. Anyway, they had to accompany each other on the way.
Bai Shisan, who was outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
