The Northern Land is now a powder keg, seemingly ready to explode at any mont, leaving him uneasy. If a great battle spreads here, it would be a great loss for him.
Fox Fairy Nannan sat cross-legged inside a cave, bored, and when she saw Zhang Chen arrive, she opened her eyes to glance at him before continuing her cultivation.
As her Beast Taming Technique improved, the strength Fox Fairy Nannan could exert grew stronger. Over the past few days, she assessed that Zhang Chen’s strength seed to have advanced again.
"Is this kid a freak or sothing? Others take years, even decades, of cultivation without significant progress, yet this kid has broken through in just a few short months. Truly a freak," Fox Fairy Nannan cursed inwardly, feeling annoyed.
Just as Fox Fairy Nannan was muttering, Xie Lingyun, dressed in white n’s garnts, arrived.
Xie Lingyun’s true body ca, followed by hundreds of guards clad in iron armor.
"You called over in such a hurry, is there sothing you need?" Xie Lingyun approached Zhang Chen, smiled, and looked at him.
"I got my hands on a treasure, and I wanted to present it to my sister." At this mont, Zhang Chen took out the Yellow Spring Water he had prepared in advance from his bosom and handed it to Xie Lingyun: "Sister has helped so much. I originally wanted to find so gold and silver treasures to repay you, but then I thought, you lack none of those mundane things. So, I found this instead. I hope Sister won’t disdain it."
Xie Lingyun took the jade bottle, her face showing surprise: "What is this thing that’s so mysterious?"
Then she pulled the cork. In the next mont, Xie Lingyun’s face underwent a dramatic change, and she couldn’t help exclaiming in disbelief: "Yellow Spring Water!!! This is Yellow Spring Water!!!"
"Yellow Spring Water???" Fox Fairy Nannan, who was sitting inside the cave ditating, suddenly opened her eyes, stood up excitedly, wanting to rush out, but then stopped herself, just listening intently to the movents outside. Then she heard Zhang Chen say:
"Yes, it’s indeed Yellow Spring Water. Sister’s eyes are sharp."
Xie Lingyun hurriedly capped the bottle, staring at Zhang Chen in disbelief: "Where did you get such a treasure?"
And then added: "This is extrely precious. You should keep it for yourself, I can’t take this."
While speaking, Xie Lingyun pushed the Yellow Spring Water back, her eyes full of reluctance, but ultimately she overca the greed in her heart.
Zhang Chen felt a sense of relief seeing this. He hadn’t misjudged her; Xie Lingyun was indeed a valuable ally worth investing in.
"Sister, don’t refuse. I still have so of this treasure; I left a portion aside in advance, fully enough for my use!" Zhang Chen shook his head, refusing to take back the Yellow Spring Water, and said with a smile:
"This bottle is for Sister to use first, and if you run out, you must tell . What we lack isn’t this Yellow Spring Water, it’s abundant enough for our own people to use."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun no longer pushed it away because this item was indeed a significant resource for her. With the help of the Yellow Spring Water, her cultivation speed could be at least twenty tis faster.
She accepted this treasure with a clear conscience, determined secretly that she must find an opportunity to repay Zhang Chen in the future.
She didn’t ask Zhang Chen where he got the Yellow Spring Water from. Such things must not be asked, even if their relationship was good; asking would an a fallout.
"With this, in three years, I will certainly transcend tribulation and step into the Yang God Realm," Xie Lingyun carefully put away the Yellow Spring Water, her voice filled with joy.
The Yang God Realm, the pinnacle of strength in the current world, and even within the Inspection and Supervision Departnt, a leader of one region.
Zhang Chen smiled brightly and said: "Then little brother here must congratulate Sister in advance. Once Sister attains the Yang God, little brother will cling onto Sister’s thigh."
As he spoke, Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun’s legs, which were slender and straight, like a pair of chopsticks, drooling at the sight.
Xie Lingyun chuckled, exchanged a few more words with Zhang Chen, and then Zhang Chen shifted the topic: "There is one more matter I’d like Sister to handle for ."
"What matter?" Xie Lingyun patted her chest and said: "You just tell , I’ll handle it clearly for you."
"Spread the word in the city and make sure it reaches Prince Pingbian’s Mansion, saying that beneath the rear hall of the Huangli Temple, there is a secret chamber that might house the Tree of Life Coffin," Zhang Chen instructed.
Xie Lingyun was taken aback, looking at Zhang Chen in astonishnt, as if she didn’t quite understand his aning.
"Huangli Temple has a secret chamber, with a great secret inside it," Zhang Chen explained: "The chamber is enveloped by a mysterious power, and even I can’t get close to investigate."
"Is there really a Tree of Life Coffin?" Xie Lingyun asked, this being her main concern.
"I don’t know!" Zhang Chen shook his head.
Xie Lingyun pondered deeply upon hearing this, and after a long pause, she said: "The Grand Steward and the Tree of Life Coffin disappeared in the Northern Land. Despite various forces secretly investigating, nearly turning the entire earth upside down, they still haven’t found any trace. According to what you said, I think maybe the Tree of Life Coffin was indeed taken by the Yellow Heaven Dao and hidden beneath that chamber."
Zhang Chen didn’t quite know what to say at this point; he just wanted to provoke a conflict between Huangli Temple and Prince Pingbian’s Mansion, hopefully not inadvertently helping the opposite side.
"What does Sister an?" Zhang Chen asked.
"The Yellow Heaven Dao has many masters, and with Prince Pingbian’s Mansion as their ally, our Inspection and Supervision Departnt finds it hard to deal with. It’s better to spread the information, let Prince Pingbian’s Mansion confront Yellow Heaven Dao like dogs biting each other," Xie Lingyun’s eyes glead with calculations: "No matter how Huangli Temple fawns over Prince Pingbian’s Mansion, when it cos to sothing like the Tree of Life Coffin that grants immortality, they wouldn’t just hand it over. If the two sides clash, we might find an opportunity."
Xie Lingyun lost her Heart Demon, was inherently kind, but definitely not naive.
"Are you certain there’s truly a secret chamber beneath Huangli Temple cloaked with mysterious power?" Xie Lingyun repeated her inquiry.
"Of course, I’m sure and certain. How could I dare say sothing groundless?" Zhang Chen said.
"I could dispatch spies from the Inspection and Supervision Departnt to investigate secretly," Xie Lingyun said thoughtfully.
The two talked for a while longer, and then Xie Lingyun turned and left in a hurry. As Zhang Chen watched Xie Lingyun go afar and was about to transform into a Vampire Bat to fly away, Fox Fairy Nannan rushed out from the cave and directly clung to Zhang Chen’s arm: "Master~"
Her voice was coquettish and seductive, making Zhang Chen shiver from his kidneys, almost making him lose control.
"What are you up to? What is this Fox Spirit trying to do? Can’t you speak properly?" Zhang Chen pushed Fox Fairy Nannan away with a face full of disdain.
Although this Fox Spirit had fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs, like the reincarnation of Diao Chan, it’s still his own skill, right? Could he really use it on himself? What a joke!!!
"You see, I keep watching over the Eight Trigrams Furnace here all day and have to spare ti to help you make gunpowder, surely I’ve worked hard if not accomplished much?" Fox Fairy Nannan said coquettishly, looking at Zhang Chen pitifully with seductive eyes full of allure.
"So?" Zhang Chen asked.
Fox Fairy Nannan didn’t answer Zhang Chen’s question. Instead, she continued: "The most critical thing is, Master, your cultivation is advancing too quickly. At this rate, I’ll soon be unable to keep up, becoming a useless waste. How will I serve you at that ti? How should I work tirelessly for you then?"
"Get to the point!" Zhang Chen glared at Fox Fairy Nannan, this Fox Spirit was too cunning, circling around with a bunch of reasons.
"I just heard that you have Yellow Spring Water and don’t need it? Why don’t you grant Nannan a bit? Nannan will surely be loyal to you forever, would bite a dog if you say so, never chase after a chicken." Fox Fairy Nannan raised her hand, making an oath.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen scrutinized Fox Fairy Nannan, circling around her, with eyes turning: "Want Yellow Spring Water? It’s not impossible, only you have to do sothing for ."
Zhang Chen thought of sending her as a spy, asking her to infiltrate Zhang Xiaohua’s place.
