Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 403: Starlight Transmission Talisman



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.

"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.

Fairy Yu was very cheerful as she turned to Fang Chen. “Yeah, I was thinking of buying a pair so that you and I can stay in touch regularly.”

She continued, "I was afraid I wouldn't see you again, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Do you think this is fate, my lord? My master told me that the karma of all beings is destiny. I think you can't get rid of me in this lifetime."

Fang Chen played with the talisman in his hand and smiled. "Have you spent all your spirit stones on these? Do you have enough spirit stones on you?"

"I have enough. We have a lot of spiritual energy and we don’t really need spiritual stones! Even if I don't have any, it'll only make my cultivation a tad bit slower. Not a big deal," Fairy Yu explained.

Fang Chen suddenly asked. "Can I see your spiritual treasure?"

Fairy Yu was slightly taken aback. She instinctively wanted to change the subject, but when she saw how Fang Chen opened his eyes and looked at her very seriously with his grayish-white pupils, she reluctantly took out her spiritual treasure.

It was a very ordinary spiritual treasure with only five Soul Imprints. Given Fairy Yu's background, she shouldn't be using such an ordinary spiritual treasure. The Void Immortal Sword Sect should have provided her with a superior flying sword.

"Don't do this again. When you have spirit stones, you should first strengthen yourself. If you only have these weak treasures to rely on, you might end up losing your life if you're ever met with danger!"

Fang Chen's tone was harsh. He was visibly angry.

Xia Ji's expression instantly became serious. He rarely saw Fang Chen angry. The last time was when Li Huafeng from the Grand Brilliance Bureau caused the death of Fang Chen's mentor in the military.

Fairy Yu lowered her head. "I understand, my lord."

"Give me your storage ring," Fang Chen said calmly.

Fairy Yu obediently took off her storage ring and handed it to Fang Chen.

Fang Chen took a glance inside and found nothing, save for a few pieces of women's clothing. It was utterly empty.

She had clearly used up everything she had to buy this pair of Communication Talismans.

Fang Chen sighed and put ten thousand spirit stones into the storage ring before handing it back to her.

"I've left some spirit stones for you to use. Don't spend them on these things anymore. The path of cultivation is full of uncertainties; we never know when danger might strike. We can stay in touch as long as we're alive. If you were to die, would I have to go to the Underworld to find you?"

Fairy Yu's mind trembled, looking at Fang Chen incredulously. "If I die, would you really go to the Underworld to find me?"

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.
