There wasn't even a maid at the door to welcome the guests. After entering, Xiao Chen took the initiative to call for a maid.
"A private room and a table of good wine."
Xiao Chen said.
The maid smiled faintly and said, "Young Master is alone, right?"
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment. "Prepare two portions."
After entering the private room, Xiao Chen felt suspicious. He asked, "What's wrong? Is there no manager in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion recently? It's so deserted, not even a shadow can be seen. "
The maid smiled apologetically and said: "This young master, it should have been a long time since you came to Soaring Dragon City. Our Smiling Daughter Pavilion's Fairy Basket was stolen nearly a year ago. All the leaders have already returned to the imperial capital, and the headquarters have their own arrangements, so they can't return to Soaring Dragon City for the time being. "
When Xiao Chen heard that, he felt slightly stunned. Then, he recalled that Jiang He seemed to have stolen the Fairy Basket from the Smiling Daughter Pavilion at that time.
Now, it was lying peacefully in his storage ring, covered in dust.
If Zhang Xuan hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it.
"Without the Fairy Basket, can't you make another one?" Xiao Chen asked, confused.
The maidservant smiled and said, "That will be difficult. A fairy is not something that can be casually created. It is a top-notch Dao artifact with complicated craftsmanship and complicated array formations. It will take at least three years. I don't know what will happen when the time comes. "
It turned out that forging Fairy Blue required so much effort. This surprised Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen picked up his wine cup and took a sip. Then, he did not linger on this matter. Instead, he asked, "I wish to ask about headliner Ling Long. Do you know where she went and when she left?"
The maidservant smiled warmly and said, "What a coincidence. I am headliner Ling Long's personal maidservant. My Young Miss also went to the capital. She left more than half a year ago and should have left a long time ago. But at that time, there was a silly boy who wanted to learn something called the pipa. I don't know what happened, but Miss actually agreed. "
"With this delay, it took me another two months to leave."
Learning the pipa? Xiao Chen could not help smiling. Little Martial Nephew Ling Yu is really going all out.
"Alright, you can go now. I'll call you if there's anything."
"Alright, Young Master, please enjoy."
After the maidservant left, Xiao Chen rummaged through his storage ring.
In a corner, he found the dusty Fairy Basket.
After staying in Dragon Flame City for so long, Xiao Chen had been so busy cultivating that he nearly forgot that he had a peak Dao Tool.
He remembered that when he tried to subdue it, he nearly got trapped inside. He had to sever his own Spiritual Sense before he finally managed to escape.
Now that he had condensed his Soul Will, his Soul Energy was much stronger than before.
He should be able to subdue this Fairy Basket and place his Spiritual Mark in it.
Then, he would gain complete control of this top-notch Dao artifact.
Xiu!
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense entered the Fairy Basket. Soon, it penetrated deep into it.
In an instant, he was trapped in a maze.
Countless ancient screens appeared, crisscrossing and arranged in a complicated manner, just like last time.
The Xiao Chen formed by the Spiritual Sense was trapped inside, unable to get out at all.
However, this time was different from the last time.
Xiao Chen's strength was no longer what it was in the past, incomparable to the past.
Break!
With a shout, Xiao Chen condensed his will of soul and merged it with his Spiritual Sense. Then, it burst out.
A beam of azure light shot out, and in an instant, all the screens were reduced to dust that filled the sky.
The dust became like snowflakes drifting in the dark void.
Unlike last time, this time, snowflakes filled the air but did not form a new maze.
This was because Xiao Chen had already broken the maze's origin from its foundation.
There would no longer be a boundless maze that could never be broken.
Xiao Chen advanced amid the flying dust. Then, he saw a sleeping woman at the end of the maze.
This woman looked like a fairy with her eyes closed, looking like she had just fallen asleep.
Her eyelashes were clear, and her skin was as fair as snow.
The Azure Lotus Fairy!
She was the founder of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. Back then, when countless Spirit Jades flew into the Fairy Basket, she was the woman who performed the sword dance.
Xiao Chen still remembered the scene of flowers filling the hall, intoxicating three thousand guests, and one sword strike freezing fourteen provinces.
That elegant sword dance and the final sword strike were still fresh in Xiao Chen's mind, something he found hard to forget.
When this woman was alive, she must have been a peerless beauty. Every frown and every smile of hers could topple nations. Hence, she was given the title of the Azure Lotus Fairy.
Xiao Chen moved his gaze away from this woman with some difficulty. Then, he circled to the back and removed the Spiritual Mark that the previous owner left behind.
Then, he imprinted a strand of his will of soul in it.
The Fairy Basket officially changed owners.
At this moment, the dark space lit up. When Xiao Chen's feet landed on the ground, he discovered a vast formation in his surroundings.
That was right. It really was a vast formation.
The sky was dotted with stars, and the Moon Palace hung high. With the bright moon as the eye of the formation, the not-so-bright stars formed nine hundred and ninety-nine different formations.
Hundreds of flowers bloomed on the ground, competing with each other in beauty. A sea of flowers stretched out as far as the eye could see.
Xiao Chen could not see how many formations filled the sea of flowers.
The sky and the ground were connected. The formations formed by the many stars were connected to the flower formations.
With just a slight movement, the stars moved, and the flowers bloomed and withered. There were thousands of changes, mysterious and unfathomable.
The Azure Lotus Fairy quietly lay among the hundreds of flowers.
Now, Xiao Chen believed it. This Dao Tool did indeed require at least three years to prepare.
That was not right. It should be three years. Even Xiao Chen found this incredible.
The sleeping Azure Lotus Fairy looked lovable and piqued his curiosity.
Her tightly shut eyes were already so beautiful. If she opened them, what kind of charm would she have?
However, this was just a thought.
Xiao Chen knew the strangeness of this Fairy Basket. It needed to absorb enough Spirit Jades before it could activate the formations and bring out mysterious phenomena of different grades.
The more Spirit Jades there were, the more beautiful and beautiful the mysterious phenomena would be.
Rumor had it that no one in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, the genuine Fairy Pavilion, had seen the Azure Lotus Fairy appear.
It was only in some replicas that Fairy Blue Lotus would occasionally be invited out by wealthy guests to display her unrivalled sword dance.
Xiao Chen rubbed his chin and frowned heavily as he looked at the Stars Formation in the sky and on the ground.
With his deep attainments in geomancy, he could tell that there was a peerless killing intent hidden in the complicated formation.
However, it was hidden very deeply. Finding it would not be easy.
Perhaps the rumors were true, and the Fairy Basket could not materialize only those beautiful mysterious phenomena that looked good but were useless.
If one understood its mysteries, it would become a Dao Tool with immeasurable might.
Perhaps one did not even need to understand its mysteries. One only needed to activate the formations formed by the stars and the moon in the sky and the vast sea of flowers on the ground.
The killing intent might appear.
Just think about it, how terrifying would a strand of killing intent condensed from so many formations be?
Once it appeared, it would definitely be earth-shattering!
However, Xiao Chen only thought about it. If he really wanted to activate all the formations in the Fairy Basket, he would need an astronomical amount of Spirit Jades.
However, he kept it in his hands.
In the future, if there was a great crisis, he might be able to use it as a powerful killing weapon.
After withdrawing his Spiritual Sense from the Fairy Basket and returning to reality, Xiao Chen drank another cup of wine.
The door to the private room opened, and Lan Luo walked in alone.
When Lan Luo saw another set of wine on the table, she asked sullenly, "You knew that I would come?"
"Why do you always refuse to listen to me, insisting on killing Long Bo?" Lan Luo asked somewhat agitatedly, not sitting down. ---
In Purple Sun City, Xiao Chen refused to listen to Lan Luo, leaving behind the Iron-Blood War Banner and leaving Purple Sun City.
In the Cluster Lord's Residence, Xiao Chen refused to listen to Lan Luo again, directly "killing" Long Bo.
The two incidents were very similar. Lan Luo simply could not understand.
Xiao Chen thought for a long time before drinking a cup of bitter wine. Then, he looked at the wine cup and asked, "Why do you think I have to listen to you?"
"It looks like there are some differences between us that are hard to reconcile within a short time. This wine is on me. If fate wills it, we will meet again in the future. No matter what, I already owe you two favors. "
Lan Luo toyed with the wine cup in her hand and smiled bitterly to herself. "Who owes whom? Must you calculate it so clearly?"
Since they did not get along, Xiao Chen felt somewhat helpless in his heart. He wanted to have a good chat with Lan Luo.
However, he discovered that their characters were very different. Perhaps it could be said that they were both too strong.
Neither gave in to the other; both felt that they were in the right.
Actually, neither was in the wrong; neither could be blamed. However, there were many things in this world that could not be simply explained by right or wrong.
"I'll be leaving first."
After putting down the wine cup, Xiao Chen stood up to leave.
Just as he stood up, he discovered that the door to the private room was violently pushed open.
Six people appeared outside. The leader looked at Xiao Chen and smiled. "You want to leave? Not yet. "
This was Liu Ruyue's group of people who came to search for Xiao Chen.
