Chapter 367 356: A Day of Great Fortune

Song Ciwan collected the ten faded Golden Hawthorns, then joined the Eldest Princess in the flower hall to keep the Third Princess company for a while.

All the Golden Hawthorns that had filled the flower hall were given away. Judging by the attitudes of the Eldest and Third Princesses, they seemed to regard these Golden Hawthorns, which could enhance a living being's comprehension, as a burden and didn't care about them in the slightest.

'It was hard to say whether they were just fabulously wealthy or simply had so many treasures that they'd become common.'

The Eldest Princess began to redo the Third Princess's makeup. Song Ciwan stood idly to the side and started to operate the Heaven and Earth Scale for a new round of trades.

After Midnight, she once again had ten brand-new opportunities to trade.

However, she had already used one earlier, so now she had nine left.

'The last time, I sold the death of an Evil Spirit Wild God and received the complete Samadhi True Fire. So now, what should I sell?'

'Here in this bizarre Xizhai, facing the Eldest and Third Princesses of unknown origin, it wouldn't be wise to sell ordinary emotional auras. It would be better, and safer, to trade physical objects.'

Song Ciwan then thought of the layers of plaster she had scraped from the wall when she left the Cultivation Room in the Spirit Realm.

'I scraped the plaster off but haven't had a chance to trade it since. I might as well sell it now and see what I can get.'

[You have sold the Foundation Establishment Stone Fragment from the Seeking Immortal Tower and obtained a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, a replica Three Mountains Seal.]

Three Mountains Seal: This Three Mountains Seal is a replica. When used for suppression, it possesses the power of three mountains. These three mountains are Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou—World-Outside Immortal Mountains. Although it can only borrow a corner of their projections, its power is still immense.

Song Ciwan looked at the Three Mountains Seal in the Heaven and Earth Scale, feeling a sense of sudden, pleasant surprise.

'What kind of lucky day is this?'

'Could it be that attending the Third Princess's wedding banquet provides a boost in luck?'

'A few bricks from the Seeking Immortal Tower... even if they were engraved with a Foundation Establishment Method, they were still just broken bricks.'

'To think some broken bricks could be traded for a Middle Grade Magical Treasure like the Three Mountains Seal!'

'In this world, many ordinary Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators don't even possess a Middle Grade Magical Treasure.'

'Without a doubt, this also reflected just how unfathomably deep the origins of the Seeking Immortal Tower were.'

'I even suspect... could some of the materials used to build the Seeking Immortal Tower have been taken from the three mountains of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou?'

The legendary Penglai and Abbot were World-Outside Immortal Mountains. It was said that a true method for eternal life existed on these immortal mountains, and many cultivators painstakingly searched for them. However, the immortal mountains were ethereal and truly difficult to find.

As a result, legends of the immortal mountains had circulated for many years, but almost no living being had ever actually set foot on them in reality.

Perhaps some had, but those who reached the peak didn't publicize it...

So, outsiders would have no way of knowing.

As for Yingzhou, although it was one of the Nine Provinces of the world, it was also known as the Hidden State and was very difficult to find. Although it was demarcated within the territory of the Great Zhou, it was hard to say whether the Court could actually govern it.

Song Ciwan's thoughts drifted, making many connections.

At the same time, the Eldest Princess chatted idly with Song Ciwan as she did the Third Princess's makeup.

The Eldest Princess spoke in a crisp, cheerful tone, "Little Sister Song, in a moment I'll introduce you to some good friends of mine. Among them are a Dragon Maiden and two Mountain Gods from Cyan Bottle Mountain. I'm sure you'll like them."

Hearing the words "Dragon Maiden," Song Ciwan's heart skipped a beat, almost as a reflex.

'But I quickly realized this Dragon Maiden couldn't be the one from Su Yang City; after all, that one had already dissipated.'

'And in this world, there are dozens in the Dragon Race. Who knows which Dragon Maiden the Eldest Princess is talking about?'

'But this wedding banquet for the Third Princess has not only attracted so many odd characters from all sorts of states and clans, but even a Dragon Maiden and Mountain Gods are attending. I wonder what kind of place Cyan Bottle Mountain is. And why does it have two Mountain Gods?'

Song Ciwan made some casual conversation in response to the Eldest Princess while conducting two more trades.

[You have sold ten pounds of various fragments, such as withered branches and rotten leaves, from the Demonized Jian Wood, and obtained one Demon Realm Token (single use).]

Demon Realm Token: This is a token that allows a person to travel to and from the Demon Realm. It can only be used once.

'The withered branches of the Jian Wood could actually be exchanged for a Demon Realm Token!'

Song Ciwan immediately felt that she had truly received a boost in luck today.

'What does a Demon Realm Token represent?'

'For others, it might be hard to say, but for me, it represents a massive amount of Demon Spirit Malice.'

'In other words, this is equivalent to a vast, enormous amount of Lifespan!'

'When it comes to lifespan, who could complain about having too much?'

Song Ciwan calmly stored the Demon Realm Token in the Heaven and Earth Scale, continuing her idle chat with the Eldest Princess while seizing the opportunity to make another trade.

[You have sold a large quantity of ashes from broken treasures at the base of the Demonized Jian Wood and obtained one Word Spirit Talisman.]

Word Spirit Talisman: With this talisman, you can cast a Curse Technique one time. The success rate of this technique is related to the strength of the target's cultivation, and its power is related to the price paid by the caster.

Song Ciwan put away the Word Spirit Talisman and fell silent inwardly for a moment, so much so that when the Eldest Princess spoke to her, she paused for a moment before reacting.

It turned out the Eldest Princess had finished redoing the Third Princess's makeup and had even placed the Joyful Fan for her.

The Third Princess, with her golden skin and a blush on her face, had an enchanting appearance, yet her temperament seemed somewhat naive and slow-witted.

In any case, she listened carefully to whatever the Eldest Princess told her to do, acting exceptionally obedient.

The Eldest Princess told her to cover her face with the fan and sit properly before the dressing table, then instructed her, "Tonight, you absolutely must not give birth again. If you can't hold it in, your true form won't recover in time. How will you marry your husband-to-be then?"

The Third Princess blushed and said, "Eldest Sister, I didn't do it on purpose! I really couldn't hold it in!"

The Eldest Princess sighed and said, "You give birth to a pile of Golden Hawthorns, giving all their spirituality away to others, while you yourself remain a simpleton. What are we going to do with you?"

The Third Princess just stared at the Eldest Princess with her big, watery eyes.

It was impossible to tell whether she had taken the words to heart or not.

The Eldest Princess reached out and flicked her on the forehead, then huffed, "Forget it, I can't be bothered with you anymore. I'm taking Little Sister Song to the pre-banquet up front. Just don't miss the auspicious time."

Then she called for Song Ciwan.

Song Ciwan walked with her through the flower hall and down a long corridor, when suddenly they heard a lively commotion ahead.

On a small island in the middle of a lake, a child about three feet tall was flying and leaping about. While making gestures to create all sorts of light and shadow shapes, he used magic to set off fireworks in the sky.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Sparks shot into the sky, at times transforming into a shower of flowery rain, at others into various birds, insects, and fish that meandered and swam through the floral downpour.

Banquet tables were set up around the child, and the people sitting behind them let out waves of cheers.

"Another one, do another one! Bravo!"

These mysterious guests from all walks of life were also cheering boisterously at the wedding feast, just like people in the Mortal World.
