Chapter 100: The Seductive Woman

  Under the stunned gaze of this old man, Chen Huan returned the four secret books and directly flashed out of the Imperial New Star Hall.

  As he walked out of the Royal Newcomer Hall, the gray misty fog reappeared in front of him, and although the gate was right next to him, he couldn't catch any shadows again. The mysterious aura still lingered in the fog, and despite seeing it for the second time, it still amazed Chen Huan.

  Locking onto his target, Chen Hao's figure flashed and he vanished into the smoke like a bolt of lightning... The sky was so vast that birds could fly wherever they pleased, and the sea was so wide that fish could leap freely.

  Chen Hao, who had just entered and exited the Royal Newcomer Hall alone, felt like a bird out of its cage, with no more worries. His figure moved swiftly, like lightning, advancing through the desolate mountains of the restricted area. Along the way, many disciples who were going out to complete tasks were surpassed by him.

  After several hours, they finally arrived on the official road.

  "To reach the destination, I need to cross nearly half of the Yuanwang Kingdom, almost 10,000 kilometers. At my current speed, it will probably take me over ten days to arrive. Not urgent, first go to Dacheng City to prepare..." Chen Hao thought to himself, sensing the majestic and long-lasting yuan force and the overwhelming spiritual power in his mind.

  According to the mission data, the Ruins' Breath is expected to appear around 20 days later. If nothing unexpected happens along the way, it should arrive on time. Even if it's a few days late, it doesn't matter, as the Ruins' Breath will last for two whole months anyway.

  Now Chen Huan should be considered as truly going solo for the first time and needs to prepare some things.

  "Hello, Brother Chen!"

  As Chen Huan was sprinting down the official road, rapidly approaching Da Qian City, two youngsters, a boy and a girl, were walking in front of him. At first glance, they seemed to be strolling leisurely, but their speed was extremely fast. However, it was apparently not as fast as Chen Huan's. Just as Chen Huan was about to pass the two youngsters, the young man suddenly spoke up.

  "Hello!" Chen Hao slowed down, slightly cupping his fists and said. These two left a deep impression on Chen Hao, who were precisely the direct disciples of Da Ru Mu, and at the beginning, their cultivation was lower than that of the imperial level, the new disciples of Leng Yue Temple, Chen Si and Xiao He.

  "Are you going to do the task too?" Xiao He smiled and said: "Originally when we were promoted to Wu Huang, we wanted to find you three to form a team. But you often don't leave your house, and we didn't want to disturb you, hehe... Brother Chen, how many levels of tasks have you accepted?"

  Xiao He and Chen Si were relatively young, both 15 years old. Except for Chen Huan, they might be the youngest two in Xin Xiu Tang. However, their words and deeds revealed a calm and mature demeanor.

  "No way, we're too weak, can only work hard to cultivate. I and a few fellow disciples took on a special task to find the ancient ruins, and are currently chasing after them... By the way, Brother Xiao, how familiar are you with Da Qian City?" Chen Hao said with some reserve. He deliberately avoided mentioning Fang Qing, not wanting to get him involved. This was also a precautionary measure.

  "Are you on a mission to find relics? We are too...... Da Qian City is of course familiar, we grew up in Da Qian City." The gentle girl Chen Si, who seemed quite curious about Chen Huan, took over his words and said: "What's wrong?"

  "I want to buy a better sword and some Valley Suppressing Pellets..." Chen Hao said.

  "In that case, you can go directly to the Liuyun Chamber of Commerce. You will definitely be able to find what you're looking for there. The Liuyun Chamber of Commerce is the largest cultivator's guild in our town, led by the royal family and jointly established with many major powers. There are auctions held every month."

  "Alright! Thanks a lot to both of you! I'll go first and catch up with them..."

  "Uh-huh. Alright!" Tuo Ru also said with a smile.

  Although it is not clear who Chen Huan's senior brother and sister are, it is obvious that Chen Huan does not want to be with them. Of course, they also do not intend to be with Chen Huan. Searching for relics is not as dangerous as the Xuan Huang relic trial. Their purpose was simply to try their luck and gain some experience.

  Chen Hao clenched his fist and suddenly accelerated, like a wisp of green smoke, disappearing from view in no time.

  Looking at Chen Huan's disappearing back, Xiao He smiled slightly and said: "Chen Huan's strength has increased quite quickly. It is said that in the Xuan Huang Ancient City, he has already reached the peak of a 4th-grade Wu Emperor, and possesses the combat power of a 5th-grade Wu Emperor..."

  "It's not that he's any weaker than us." Chen Si said: "We have to work hard too, being fellow disciples and being surpassed is very embarrassing..."

  "Hmm. Don't worry, we won't be weaker than him!"

  The two obviously still don't know that Chen Hao has already defeated Dongfang Zhan, otherwise they wouldn't say this.

  Dacheng City, Liuyun Chamber of Commerce, located in the most prosperous area of the city center, was resplendent with gold and jade, its grandeur awe-inspiring. A thick aura enveloped the massive palace, clearly protected by a powerful seal.

  In and out, in all shapes and sizes, some dressed to the nines as if they were rich or noble, others plain and simple, but most of them wore conical hats that covered themselves up tightly. But without exception, they all exuded a powerful aura, clearly all cultivators.

  As soon as you enter, it is a huge palace, which is the reception center of Liuyun Chamber of Commerce.

  In the luxurious and spacious hall, several beautifully dressed waitresses who looked elegant and refined would welcome guests as soon as they entered. Their service awareness was no less than that of modern cities, but what exceeded expectations was that these girls were all cultivators, mostly high-ranking warriors.

  Just then, a figure walked over slowly.

  Wearing a black robe, with a black conical hat on his head, he was not tall and large in stature, but the aura emanating from his body was clearly that of an expert who had entered the Martial Emperor realm.

  "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" A waiter's eyes widened in surprise and delight as he approached, slightly bowing his head to greet him, saying respectfully.

  The other servants looked on with envy.

  It's not that they're extremely powerful. Just by their breathing, they can guess that the newcomer should be a high-ranking expert in the Martial Emperor realm. This point alone isn't anything special. After all, the Flowing Clouds Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Zhongyang Kingdom. In just one glance, they've seen countless Martial Emperors. Even Martial Gods are numerous. However, the newcomer is very young. Observing words and expressions is a necessary quality for these attendants. Although the newcomer's disguise is very thorough, their hands and body shape can still be discerned from the outside.

  At such a young age, Wu Huang must have a very high status. Being able to receive such a guest, it's likely that he can make big deals happen.

  "Do you have storage rings for sale here?" Came in and asked directly, with a surprisingly young voice.

  This is not someone else, but Chen Huan in disguise.

  Doing so is also inevitable, after all, he needs a large amount of elixirs. The Five Elements Spirit Dan can only be used as an ordinary dan for him who has already obtained the Five Elements Spirit Root, which is really too wasteful. Exchanging it for ordinary spiritual medicine would be more cost-effective. Incidentally, buy three storage rings again. Give one to He Lian Wu Zi and Mo Yu Yi, and keep the remaining one for himself. Although he doesn't need it, he needs to use it to cover up his tracks. The matter of obtaining the Xuan Huang Ring and the five spiritual swords is something that cannot be exposed in the slightest when his strength is not enough. He does not have the background of the three major families and can only proceed step by step.

  "Storage ring? There is... some. Sir, please come in! I'll take you to see the manager, storage rings are quite valuable things..." The girl suddenly said with a hint of surprise.

  "Alright." Chen Hao replied.

  Through the luxurious hall, Chen Hao followed the maid servant into the inner chamber of the merchant association.

  Rows of glittering weapons, minerals and some unknown oddities were placed on crystal shelves, with countless people selecting among them, such a fiery atmosphere, indeed not something that ordinary shops can compare to.

  Chen Hao followed the servant forward while looking around to see if there was anything that interested him, and the Treasure Sword Spirit in his mind also sensed the surrounding atmosphere.

  "Sir, please wait here for a moment, I'll go call the manager..."

  "Hmm." Chen Hao responded with a murmur, and casually browsed the weapons placed around him. Several flying knives caught his eye.

  "Sir, do you need anything?" The attendant behind the counter saw Chen Hao's gaze and respectfully said: "This flying knife? You can take a look, it was crafted by a master-level equipment refiner, made of iron essence that has been tempered a thousand times, extremely hard and sharp. The price is also reasonable, only ten sixth-grade spirit medicine or spirit pellets are needed."

  "So expensive?" Chen Hao took the flying knife from the waiter's hand and said with some surprise.

  "Hehe... Young man, this isn't expensive at all. The items from our Flowing Clouds Merchant Guild are not ordinary goods, I guarantee you'll get your money's worth!"

  The flying dagger was thin as a cicada's wing, emitting a cold and eerie aura. Simply by feeling it, it was indeed much better than the small knife his father had given him. Moreover, as a hidden weapon, it was more suitable.

  "Whoa..."

  Just as Chen Huan was sizing up the flying knife, the crowd around him suddenly stirred, and Chen Huan also quickly turned his head to look over.

  "Cloud Butler is good..."

  "Cloud Butler, getting more and more beautiful o Ah!"

  A figure of absolute beauty appeared before Chen Hao's eyes.

  A purple long dress, skin as white as snow, exuding an aura of elegance and nobility, a slightly low neckline, making her slender neck appear even more enticing, the fitted long dress perfectly showcasing her slender yet seductive figure, a waist that can be grasped by one hand, like a swaying willow branch... A melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, cherry lips, exuding elegance and nobility, with a hint of charming coquetry.

  This girl, judging by her appearance alone, is probably less than twenty years old, but the extremely seductive figure and dress she has exudes a more mature charm, without any hint of girlish awkwardness.

  The woman smiled faintly and nodded frequently in response to the greetings of the crowd. She seemed accustomed to the fiery gazes, and a young waitress walked straight towards Chen Huan.

  "Sir, this is our Cloud General!" The young waitress said as she brought the woman to Chen Huan's side.

  Chen Hao's eyes, hidden behind his veil, slightly narrowed. Even he hadn't expected that the so-called general manager would be such a seductive woman. He couldn't help but admire the business acumen of the Flowing Clouds Chamber of Commerce. With such an exquisite woman, probably most men wouldn't dare to haggle over prices, and might even pretend to be more generous than they actually were.
