Chapter 403: Starlight Transmission Talisman
Fang Chen smiled. “Fairy Yu, since you went to the Central Continent, how come you came all the way here to the capital of the Grand Qian Empire? These two places are quite far apart, aren't they?”
"You may not know this, my lord, but the Void Immortal Sword Sect had been robbed of a sword embryo years back. The sect's ancestor has recently sensed unusual movements from the sword embryo, which made us aware of its existence.
"That's why we, the sect disciples, are traveling everywhere in search of it! Senior Sister has a spell that can sense the embryo's general whereabouts, and as we searched, we arrived at this place. We coincidentally learned about the upcoming trade conference, so we wanted to see if the sword embryo is here,” Fairy Yu explained.
A spell that can sense the whereabouts of the sword embryo?
Fang Chen's thoughts stirred. “Have you found it then?”
“Not yet.” Fairy Yu sighed. “Senior Sister sensed the aura of the sword embryo a while ago and brought me here, but after that, she couldn't sense it anymore. We have to wait for the person who has it to activate the sword embryo before we can lock onto them.”
Fang Chen sighed.
This is troublesome.
If he used Little Sword again, the mid stage Golden Core Realm female sword cultivator would be alerted to him. It was quite clear already that her temperament wasn't good, as he had seen it once back in Grand Xia. If she found out that the sword embryo was in his possession, she wouldn't hesitate to attack him.
Fang Chen was confident he could survive in the face of the average Golden Core Realm cultivator, but this was a Golden Core Realm sword cultivator, so he didn't even have a shred of confidence that he could win against her. Fortunately, he had the Shadow Buddha Technique, so even if he couldn't win, he could easily run away.
Thankfully, I don't need the help of Little Sword to defeat ordinary Foundation Building Realm cultivators.
With the third rank of the sword body and an immortal sword vein that allowed him to possess tens of times more spiritual energy than your average cultivator at the twelfth stage of the Qi Refining Realm, Fang Chen still had extraordinary battle prowess even without Little Sword.
"Lord, this is the Void Immortal Sword Sect's Starlight Transmission Talisman. Unlike ordinary communication talismans, it can be used tens of thousands of times. This is for you, and I have another one. This way, we can stay in constant contact when Senior Sister is not around," said Fairy Yu as she waved her hand, producing a jade talisman with a greenish hue. She waved her hand again and fished out another one.
There seemed to be some kind of connection between the two talismans.Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
"This is the Central Continent's flagship Communication Talisman. Even if we are thousands of miles apart, as long as there is enough spiritual energy, we can communicate with each other," Fairy Yu explained as she handed one of the talismans to Fang Chen.
"You can communicate even if you're over thousands of miles apart? Incredible! Are there any more? Can I have a few?" exclaimed Xia Ji in surprise.
Fairy Yu rolled her eyes at him. "Third Prince, a pair of these talismans is worth two thousand low-grade spirit stones. I had to save up for a long time just to buy these two!"
"Two thousand low-grade spirit stones? Looks like your sect is quite wealthy," Xia Ji said somewhat disappointedly. "Did you spend all your spirit stones on these?"
Fang Chen was slightly taken aback.
Fang Chen thought for a moment then nodded gently. "I would."
Fairy Yu's eyes were full of smiles. "Don't worry! I'll strive to live well! I won't let you suffer by going all the way to the Underworld to find me."
Fairy Yu casually glanced at the storage ring.
Suddenly, her smile froze with astonishment, and she took a sharp breath.
"My lord, in here, there is...!"
Fang Chen nodded lightly. "I've only put ten thousand low-grade spirit stones inside. I've kept the rest for myself. This should be enough for you."
“Ten thousand..." muttered Xia Ji as he silently stared at Fang Chen for a few moments. "Say, Fang Da, if I start calling you Lord Fang too, will you...?”
Fang Chen chuckled. He slid Xia Ji's storage ring off his finger and placed ten thousand spirit stones inside for him too. "You don't need to call me that. I'll give it to you anyway."
Since Xia Ji had encountered his own kind of opportunity, Fang Chen hoped that these ten thousand low-grade spirit stones would be helpful to him.
"Lord Fang, I thought that by joining the Void Immortal Sword Sect, I could support you in the future, but I didn't expect this.... My lord, you truly deserve your title! No matter where you are, you can do things we can't!" Fairy Yu's eyes were practically shining with admiration. "Even the Foundation Building Realm senior brothers in my sect might not be able to fork out such a large sum of spirit stones."
Xia Ji quickly peered inside the storage ring. And sure was, he found ten thousand spirit stones inside. A look of excitement appeared on his face. "Fang Da, you really hit it big!"
Since Fang Chen had taken out twenty thousand spirit stones this directly, it meant that he had even more on him, so Xia Ji knew that he didn't have to worry about him at all.
Suddenly, Wu Ruochou's voice traveled from outside. She sounded perplexed.
"Junior Brother, Young Master Fang, there's another person who wants to see you."
Fang Chen smiled. "Zhang Xiaoke is here."
Fairy Yu's eyes lit up as she smiled. "Pancake Zhang?"
Fairy Yu crossed to the door and took a look. She indeed saw Zhang Xiaoke standing behind Wu Ruochou with a somewhat excited expression.
"Yu... Sister Yu?!" exclaimed Zhang Xiaoke in surprise when he saw Fairy Yu.
