Chapter 126: The Portrait of Fairy Suxin

After sun-drying the Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder at noon, Zhou Yu ground it into a fine powder. He then took three jars of it, along with three Jade Dew plants, and headed to Jing City.

After arriving in Jing City, he first sent the Jade Dew plants to Chen Zilong. Then he went to Qi Jinxuan’s place to sell the three jars of Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder and one of the Jade Dew plants, earning two hundred and thirty thousand Renminbi.

Qi Jinxuan expressed some surprise at the change in his overall appearance. Zhou Yu just gave a casual explanation and did not pay it any special mind.

Next, he went to the Yayu Pavilion at People’s Square. He bought four pieces of jade stone costing nearly one hundred thousand yuan each, and four pieces costing ten thousand each. He also bought some jade stones priced from a few hundred to a thousand yuan. He didn’t just buy Hetian Jade; he purchased some stones of other varieties as well.

If he really had to feed them, his highest choice would only be jade stones costing a thousand yuan each. He certainly couldn’t feed jade stones worth ten thousand yuan each to the two Demolition Chickens just like that.

Of course, the most important thing was to see what kind of eggs these two Lingque Chickens could lay, how they would taste, and what kind of help they could bring him.

The jade stones he bought this time were just to test what value and what variety best suited the two chickens’ appetites. Once that was determined, he wouldn’t buy them piece by piece like this anymore. Instead, he would directly buy one large piece.

The owner of Yayu Pavilion only casually asked about their purpose. Zhou Yu replied that he planned to learn jade carving, so he was buying some jade stones to practice with first.

After buying the jade stones, he went to a company in Jing City that sold jade carving machines. He observed and personally operated some machines, and finally chose a fully automatic computer engraving machine priced at over one hundred thousand yuan. Compared to ordinary jade shops, it was more precise and stable.

The company said they could deliver the engraving machine to his home tomorrow morning. Zhou Yu nodded and paid. He wasn’t in a hurry to use the jade carving machine now; buying it was just for unforeseen needs.

Rather than going to several jade shops to have the carving done separately each time after buying jade stones, it was better to buy an engraving machine himself and play with it at home.

Carrying the pile of purchased jade stones, Zhou Yu headed in the direction of Taoyuan Village. By the time he returned to the old family house, it was already seven or eight in the evening.

Even though he wasn’t home, Huzi, Dabao, and Xiaobao would actively go to Li Guomin’s food stall to wait when it was time for surfing. So, he didn’t need to worry at all.

However, what he worried about most was undoubtedly the two internal thieves at home—the Demolition Chickens from the Immortal World. He didn’t know if Xiaobai and Jinzi could keep an eye on them.

At the food stall, Zhou Yu brought Huzi and Dabao into the car. Wang Fugui excitedly talked with him for a while. He was full of admiration for the heroic deeds of the two Divine Dogs, Huzi and Dabao, chasing and capturing the robber and murderer yesterday, and complained that Zhou Yu didn’t take him along.

Zhou Yu laughed and told him to exercise and improve his fitness first. Otherwise, even if he called him along, they probably wouldn’t get far in the mountain forest.

After bringing Huzi and Dabao home, he directly entered the courtyard and turned on the big light, instantly illuminating half the courtyard brightly.

After turning on the light, Zhou Yu first checked the two Spirit Gathering Arrays. He didn’t find any signs of digging, so he relaxed.

Seeing he was home, Xiaobao, Xiaobai, and Gan Gan and Cui Cui immediately gathered around. Hearing the noise, the two Demolition Chickens also quickly ran over from their nest.

Xiaobao, standing nearby, saw the two Demolition Chickens and immediately gave a low growl, as if he was already at odds with these two fellows.

Zhou Yu shook his head, patted Xiaobao’s head, and fed them the food he brought back. Then he looked at the two Demolition Chickens, a smile appearing on his face. These two guys were quite sensible; they didn’t go digging holes and causing demolition for no reason.

So, he casually took out two pieces of jade stone from the handbag beside him, looked at them, and threw them to the two Lingque Chickens.

This handbag was filled with jade stones priced from a few hundred to a thousand yuan. The two he just took out were Dushan Jade, relatively cheap, costing only two or three hundred yuan each.

The two Lingque Chickens happily picked up the jade stones in their beaks and started crunching on them, which sounded quite funny.

But it seemed these two guys weren’t very picky eaters. They could even enjoy jade stones worth only a few hundred yuan this happily. That put him at ease. What he feared most was encountering creatures that wouldn’t eat anything but valuable jade stones.

After the animals finished eating, Zhou Yu waved his hand, signaling them to return to their respective nests. For Xiaobai, he placed a box in the living room, padded it with some cotton, and let Xiaobai curl up inside.

Today, to guard the Spirit Gathering Arrays and prevent the two Demolition Chickens from causing damage, Xiaobai had stayed here the whole time and hadn’t returned to the mountain forest.

After rubbing Xiaobai’s head, Zhou Yu returned to his room. He looked at the radio on the table, his heart filled with anticipation.

After yesterday’s Lightning charging, the radio still looked the same as before, with no changes. It still appeared somewhat old and shabby. But it was this neglected radio that had the ability to connect to another Immortal World.

Sitting on the bed, Zhou Yu took out the Green Radiance Flying Sword. The fleeting green glow was still fresh in his memory. That was definitely a phenomenon powered by Spiritual Power. However, apart from that one time, he hadn’t been able to release even a trace of Spiritual Power since.

Holding the hilt of the Green Radiance Flying Sword, he swung it a few times forcefully. The sword still showed no change.

Thinking about Spiritual Power activation, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something. So he rummaged through the room, and from the very back of a cabinet, he pulled out that scroll painting.

Seeing this scroll, his face showed intense anticipation. This was exactly what he obtained when he first encountered Fairy Suxin.

This was a portrait that Senior Brother Zheng painted after seeing Fairy Suxin, awestruck by her celestial beauty. Zhou Yu had obtained it by chance. However, it had a protective Formation on it; without Spiritual Power, it couldn’t be opened.

The Immortal World, a portrait of Fairy Suxin—this was enough to make anyone want to see it. Zhou Yu was even more so. After hearing Fairy Suxin’s ethereal, clear, soul-stirring voice and learning about the tragic events of her childhood, he really wanted to see what this Fairy looked like.

Unfortunately, more than twenty days had passed since he obtained this scroll, and he could only look at the scroll itself, not the portrait.

If yesterday’s dream had taken him not to the Divine Chef Villa, but to Fairy Suxin’s Immortal Sound Sect, that would have been perfect. He would have had a chance to see the real Fairy Suxin. Only tonight would he know if that happened by chance or if the radio had upgraded, allowing his consciousness to enter the Immortal World.

Zhou Yu held the scroll in his hand, desperately wanting to open it. Sadly, his hand could only hold it; he couldn’t truly open it. Perhaps with his current physical condition, even using brute force couldn’t open this protective Formation set up by a Cultivator.

Even though he might now possess the possible Foundation Building Realm, and there might be Spiritual Power within his body, being unable to control it meant he couldn’t release it at all.

Looking at the scroll in his hand, he smiled wryly and shook his head, slowly placing it on the table. No matter how strong the desire in his heart, he couldn’t open it. After placing the scroll on the table, he suddenly had an impulse and pointed at the scroll.

Suddenly, a white light emerged from his finger and shot at the scroll on the table at incredible speed. When the light touched the scroll, a watery curtain-like light screen gradually contracted and vanished.

Zhou Yu’s eyes widened. He looked at his finger. Did white light just shoot from his finger? Could this be the so-called Spiritual Power?

He pointed his finger at other spots again, but the white light never appeared. He was sure it wasn’t an illusion.

Looking at the scroll on the table, Zhou Yu hurried over. The scroll before him was the key evidence to prove whether or not he had released Spiritual Power.

Holding the scroll’s rod with both hands, he took a deep breath. Because he might soon see the true face of Fairy Suxin from the Immortal World.

Ever since he heard this Fairy’s voice from the radio, his heart had been deeply shaken. When he got the scroll but couldn’t open it, he felt regret for a long time. Today, the moment to unveil the scroll had finally arrived.

Zhou Yu felt his heart seemed to be beating rapidly. He slowly unrolled the scroll. What met his eyes was a place surrounded by bamboo forest. The bamboo above was lush and green, looking extremely realistic, as if this bamboo forest was right before him.

The scroll slowly unfurled. In his heart, he anticipated the appearance of Fairy Suxin. With the unrolling of the scroll, a corner of a white skirt gradually emerged.

A white skirt. The anticipation on Zhou Yu’s face grew even stronger. In his mind, what could bring the most celestial aura was undoubtedly a white dress. This had been proven in many Immortal World and mythological TV dramas.

Of course, a white dress was very celestial, but it also depended on who wore it. Without that celestial quality, wearing a white dress could never make it look perfect; it might even backfire seriously.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu could already imagine the complete picture of this scroll: amidst a lush green bamboo forest, a woman in a white dress gently touching the strings of a guqin. This was simply the most beautiful scene in his mind.

The scroll continued to unfurl. At this moment, the presence of a guqin became visible. This guqin was placed on a stone table. Besides the bamboo forest, there were also mountain rocks and a stream, giving a feeling of tranquility and leisure.

Everything in this scroll felt very realistic and spiritual. It seemed Senior Brother Zheng’s painting skills had reached a certain realm. Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed tightly on the scroll. The next moment, Fairy Suxin’s face would appear.

Slowly pushing the rod, the most anticipated scene in the entire scroll unfolded before his eyes.
