East Royal Inner City.
There was an ancient mountain that towered into the clouds, rugged and rugged. There were verdant ancient trees and the fragrance of spirit herbs. A winding stone staircase led all the way to the top of the mountain, and on the side of the mountain path, there was a stone pavilion hidden in the ancient forest every li or so.
The mountain was called Enlightenment Mountain and the pavilion was called White Jade Pavilion.
The entire ancient mountain was three thousand feet high, and the winding mountain path was hundreds of miles long. Hundreds of white jade pavilions were scattered all over the mountain. This was not a place for sightseeing, but a place for martial artists to meditate and meditate.
There was a special aura here that could make warriors unknowingly calm down. It was the best place for warriors to rest after cultivating for a long time.
At this moment, there were three figures in a White Jade Pavilion about a thousand feet high. The man was wearing a dark green battle robe and the other two women, one in green and one in blue, sat on his left and right.
They were Xiao Chen and Mu Qing. At this moment, the two of them came out of the Mountain River World. After all, the East Royal Palace of the Human World was the center of the Eastern Wasteland of the Human Race. The two women were naturally happy to come and broaden their horizons.
This was already the second day since Xiao Chen left the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce. Other than the two hundred Middle Grade Void Crystals that he had obtained from the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Chen did not make any moves.
At this moment, he had less than thirty thousand Lower Grade Spiritual Crystals on him. He needed to save them for the tribe's emergency needs. Naturally, he was not willing to spend them easily.
The two women were quite happy to be brought out by Xiao Chen. Over the years, the number of times that Xiao Chen had accompanied them like this could be counted on one hand.
"Husband, the East Royal Region is indeed a place where the spirits of heaven and earth gather. The prosperity of the Human Race can't be compared to the East Royal Region at all."
"Yeah, no wonder so many warriors want to come to the East Royal Region. Even I don't want to leave."
"That's easy. Elder sister can stay in the East Royal Region."
"I think younger sister should stay too."
The two women continued to play.
It was rare for Xiao Chen to have the time to accompany the two of them. Even the clothes they were wearing were bought in the East Imperial Kingdom.
It was not a beast robe, but a dress woven from the silk of a strange beast known as the White Jade Heavenly Silkworm. It was impervious to both water and fire, and could even defend against the attacks of Supreme-Beings. Its defensive power was not inferior to that of a Medium Grade Spiritual Armor.
Of course, these two dresses cost a lot, but Xiao Chen didn't hesitate to buy them. As long as the two women were happy, it was worth it no matter how much he spent.
"Husband, those people are really annoying. They have been following us for two days!"
Mu Qing frowned slightly. His gaze swept across a white jade pavilion a few thousand feet away. There were two martial artists at the Eighth Heaven sitting there, seemingly discussing the Dao.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly. In reality, when he walked out of the floating island where the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce was, he had already sensed that he was being watched. However, because he was in the East Imperial Kingdom, he didn't dare to fight easily, so the people following him were far behind the three of them.
The people following him were the martial artists from the Xiwu Marquis Division who had fought with Xiao Chen in the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce. After the first day of trading, the people from the Xiwu Marquis Division had already left. He didn't expect them to wait for him outside the chamber of commerce.
Moreover, in these two days, the Xiwu Marquis Division wasn't the only people following them. In reality, there were already seven or eight martial artists following them. However, Xiao Chen still sensed them.
Similarly, Xiao Chen didn't care about them. He still brought Mu Qing and Niaohua around the East Imperial Kingdom to play or go to the various trading places to see what they needed.
He directly ignored them!
"Let's go to the Heavenly Fate Floating Island and see if there are any treasures," Xiao Chen said to the two women.
The Heavenly Fate Floating Island was a small floating island. The entire floating island was a gathering place for many martial artists and loose cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness.
Naturally, it became a huge trading place for loose cultivators. If one had a good eye, they would naturally be able to obtain valuable treasures at a small price and soar to the sky.
This kind of thing could be said to be a common occurrence on the Heavenly Fate Floating Island. Almost every hundred years or even decades, there would be loose cultivators who would obtain treasures or opportunities there. Hence, it was named Heavenly Fate!
Xiao Chen brought the two women and directly flew towards the Heavenly Fate Floating Island in the void. The two martial artists who were discussing the Dao thousands of feet away did not move. Like the other martial artists who had come to meditate, they watched as Xiao Chen flew over.
However, when Xiao Chen stepped onto the Heavenly Fate Floating Island for the third time, a sparkling jade token appeared in the hands of one of the martial artists, flashing with a faint light.
Dong dong dong!
Xiao Chen brought the two women onto the Heavenly Fate Floating Island and quickly blended into the tide-like human flow. The entire floating island did not have any particularly tall buildings. Instead, it was filled with martial artists from various regions setting up stalls.
The densely packed stalls stretched as far as the eye could see. There were even some items that even Xiao Chen did not recognize.
However, the martial artists here were simply too messy. Xiao Chen even saw some martial artists casually picking up a few pieces of gravel from the desolate land and openly lining them up on the stalls.
Martial artists from hundreds of human regions in the East Imperial Continent naturally gathered the unique items of various regions. Each stall had its own specialty. Xiao Chen brought the two women and constantly walked past these stalls.
Bizarre items constantly flitted past Xiao Chen's eyes. However, most of them were ignored by Xiao Chen. The items that seemed bizarre were merely trash that did not have the appearance.
Very quickly, Xiao Chen's footsteps stopped in front of a stall. There was an old man in front of him. The items on his stall were rather peculiar. They were lanterns. In the desolate land, the fire was ignited with beast oil and placed in the stone lanterns.
Most of the lanterns in front of the old man were pitch-black. However, there were traces of green in the mottled areas. Obviously, they were made of copper. The shapes were all different. Some were round, some were square, some were octagonal, some were hexagonal, and some were in the shape of strange beasts.
"What kind of lantern is this?"
The lantern in Xiao Chen's hand was a beast-shaped lantern. It was in the shape of a fire dragon. The fire dragon was hovering, and the wick was at the dragon's mouth. However, it looked rather shabby.
"I don't know. All the lanterns here, regardless of size or style, cost one Inferior-Grade Spirit Crystal!"
"What!?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. As expected of the Eastern Royal Domain. The value of items far exceeded that of other human domains. An unknown copper lantern cost one Inferior-Grade Spirit Crystal.
"I wonder if there are any more Fiery Dragon Lanterns like this!" Suppressing the waves of emotions in his heart, Xiao Chen asked again.
"Yes, I originally had fifteen of these Fiery Dragon Lanterns. However, in the past ten years, four of them have been exchanged. Now, I still have eleven."
"Alright, if they are the same as the Fiery Dragon Lanterns in front of me, I will take them all." Immediately, Xiao Chen did not stand on ceremony and said.
Very quickly, the old man waved his hand and another ten Fiery Dragon Lanterns appeared in front of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen inspected them one by one. They were indeed made of the same material as the previous Fiery Dragon Lanterns. There was no difference between them and they had a rich and ancient feel to them.
At this moment, Liu Li's voice sounded in his Sea of Soul, causing him to pause. In the next moment, four Inferior-Grade Spirit Crystals flew towards the old man.
"Sir, I said that one Inferior-Grade Spirit Crystal for one lantern. Eleven Fiery Dragon Lanterns, a total of eleven Inferior-Grade Spirit Crystals."
At the same time, Xiao Chen waved his hand and the eleven Fiery Dragon Lanterns in front of him were kept into the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. Only four lanterns were left on the stall.
Without saying a word, he left with Mu Qing and the two girls.
The old man was stunned. He watched Xiao Chen's figure disappear into the crowd before he recovered his senses.
"Could it be that my craftsmanship has deteriorated?"
After a few breaths, the surprise in the old man's eyes dissipated. He looked at the Fiery Dragon Lantern and murmured.
The remaining seven Fiery Dragon Lanterns were replicas made by him!
This Fiery Dragon Lantern was also made by Xiao Chen under the guidance of Liu Li. Even Xiao Chen did not know what use it had, but it was actually worth four Inferior-Grade Spirit Crystals.
Next, Xiao Chen and Mu Qing constantly shuttled through the crowd on Heaven's Fate Floating Island. They also made a few moves and obtained a few seemingly tattered treasures.
"Husband!"
Just then, Mu Qing exclaimed.
"What's wrong, Qing Er?"
Along with Mu Qing's exclamation, Xiao Chen instantly noticed something different. At that moment, Mu Qing's body was emitting a chaotic aura. It was obvious that something had happened.
"Qing Er."
"Sister."
Xiao Chen and Pinghua called out softly.
Xiao Chen noticed that there was a strange fluctuation coming from Mu Qing's body. Even the lotus mark that was originally hidden between her eyebrows was floating.
The aura of a King!
Xiao Chen was naturally very familiar with this kind of aura. Back then, the warriors of the Fainting Blood Family had emitted this kind of fluctuation. Although Mu Qing's aura was not as powerful, it was undoubtedly the aura of a King.
Soon, Mu Qing controlled the strange movements in her body and said, "I feel the aura of the Mulian Family!"
What!
"The Mulian Family!"
Xiao Chen exclaimed. Mu Qing inherited the Mulian bloodline, but they knew nothing about the so-called Mulian Family.
But now, Mu Qing had discovered the aura of the Mulian Family and had even formed a connection with it.
"It should be on this Heavenly Fate Floating Island."
There was a hint of worry in Mu Qing's eyes. Then, she said, "But Husband, I can't sense whether it's a person or an object."
Xiao Chen was also wary of this unfamiliar Mulian Family. The blood of a King represented power. If they were not careful, things would develop in a way they did not expect.
"Alright, Qing Er. Since you can sense it and it's on the floating island, let's find it and see what kind of person it is."
Gently pinching Mu Qing's pretty face, Xiao Chen comforted her. "Even if something unexpected happens, your husband is not someone who is afraid of trouble."
Soon, the three of them blended into the crowd again. They kept changing directions according to Mu Qing's senses, but the further they went, the more remote they became.
Although the Heavenly Fate Floating Island was not big, it was still close to a thousand miles in circumference. At that moment, Xiao Chen and the other two had already walked out of the area where the stalls were and were heading to the other side of the floating island.
After walking out of the surging crowd, they discovered that there were also warriors living on the floating island. There were many stone houses.
However, most of the stone houses were short. It was clear that the warriors living on the floating island were mostly wanderers or loose cultivators. This made Xiao Chen relax a little.
