[You discovered the ‘nine-tailed fox that traces its origin’! 】
[The woman in front of me looked very excited and asked in disbelief, are you a ‘descendant of the Dragon God’? 】
[You switch back to the body of the ‘original hermit seeking knowledge’ and reveal your identity to the ‘nine-tailed fox’. 】
[The woman looked at your dragon-headed body and felt the rich aura of dragon blood on your body. She couldn't help but be so excited that she knelt down on the ground and cried so hard. 】
[It tells you that the ‘Nine-tailed Fox’ clan has suffered heavy casualties since the God War, and the clan has withered until only it and its sister are left in this lineage. 】
[More than ten years ago, his sister sneaked into the Imperial Palace in an attempt to assassinate the general. Unexpectedly, the assassination failed and she died here. Now, she is the only one left in the ‘Nine-tailed Fox’ clan. 】
[It originally wanted to avenge its sister, but when it thought that even its powerful sister was no match for the general, if it went to Kyoto rashly, it would probably cause the 'nine-tailed fox' clan to become extinct in Sakura Fall. 】
[I have no choice but to hide near Mount Nasu, watch over my sister’s burial place and encourage myself to practice hard, hoping that one day I can achieve great success in practice and avenge my sister.]
[Ten years have passed by like a fleeting moment. Its strength has improved slowly, and it is still not as good as its sister. It only hates its own incompetence, fearing that it will have no hope of defeating the general in this life...]
[Fortunately, I met you, 'Lord Dragonborn' today...]
[You declare to the 'Nine-Tailed Fox' that you have been ordered by Father God to walk in the world, unite with the great monsters still alive in the world, and want to kill the general and restore the power of the Dragon God! Now you need the help of the 'Nine-Tailed Fox'
You deal with the general together.]
[The ‘nine-tailed fox’ cried with joy and bowed to the ground...]
[You step forward to help the ‘nine-tailed fox’ and ask it if it would like to be your shikigami? 】
[You think the ‘nine-tailed fox’ is worried about erasing its sanity. Promise it that you will retain its sanity. 】
[The 'Nine-tailed Fox' shook his head and continued to tell, Mr. Dragonborn, as a bloodline descendant of the Dragon God, he will not resist even if his mind is wiped away. 】
[It’s not this that makes it difficult, but the ‘suppressing objects’ needed to conquer the shikigami. 】
[From ancient times to the present, there are many stories of humans defeating the three major monsters in Sakura Falls. However, even if humans defeat the three major monsters, few people can accept them as shikigami. 】
[The reason is that the level of the 'Tenshou' is not high enough to match the strength of the three monsters...]
[After the nine-tailed fox’s explanation, you gradually understand the origin of ‘zhenwu’...]
[The top-level town objects are often transformed from the spiritual thoughts and corpses of the three monsters, such as the ‘Killing Stone’. This kind of town object was transformed from the death of the ‘Nine-tailed Fox’ monster. 】
[However, the numerous 'tokens' transformed from monster corpses are difficult to match the level of the monsters themselves. Unless you can obtain a higher-level 'token' than the 'Brilliant Killing Stone' (legendary level), you will not be able to conquer the three major monsters.
.]
[The 'Nine-tailed Fox' saw the disappointment on your face and began to persuade you. The 'Nine-tailed Fox' clan is one of the most powerful monsters in Sakura Fall, but not in Zhuchi. 】
[It is recorded in the classics handed down from ancestors that Zhu Chi has more powerful monsters such as 'Phoenix', 'Qilin', and 'Xuanwu'. 】
[If you, Lord Dragonborn, can obtain the ‘tokens’ left behind by those monsters after their death, or obtain the artificially refined ‘tokens’ from Immortal Zhu Chi, you will be able to subdue me...]
Lin Xun's face was covered with black lines.
It turns out that the three top monsters cannot be conquered in this chapter.
After working for a long time, the bamboo basket ended up in vain.
[The ‘Nine-Tailed Fox’ has nine huge furry fox tails emerging from its buttocks. It plucks a handful of fox fur from its tail and hands it to you. 】
[You have obtained the ‘nine-tailed fox’s tail hair’ (item)]
['Nine-tailed fox's tail hair' (prop): A bunch of snow-white soft fox tail hair, picked from the great monster 'Nine-tailed fox'. Using this prop, you will summon the great monster 'nine-tailed fox' to your side to serve you
Combat.】
[The woman bows to you again and salutes, and says slowly, when Lord Dragonborn and the general fight, you can call me to come and help. 】
[It will not hesitate to sacrifice its life to help the ‘Lord Dragonborn’ kill the general! 】
[You carefully accept the ‘fox fur’ and wave goodbye to the ‘nine-tailed fox’. 】
[The woman's figure turned into a stream of light and streaked towards the top of Mount Nasu, then disappeared...]
"A one-time summoning item."
Lin Xun looked at the fox fur summoning prop in the inventory.
The 'Nine-Tailed Fox' said that the quality of the killing stone was not enough to accept the three monsters as shikigami.
The highest-grade ‘Brilliant Killing Stone’ in the pocket is of legendary grade, which means that the three major monsters are at least legendary-grade beings.
"What should I do if I don't have the Master Ball and can't catch the mythical beast? Wait online, hurry, hurry..."
He packed up his mood, followed the instructions given by the underworld game, and went to the "Fukang City" market to find the warehouse merchant.
It took a long time to finally arrive at the ‘Fish Market’.
After visiting the 'Fish Market' again, Lin Xun found that the special fishmonger selling rare seafood was nowhere to be seen. He must have gone out to sea to fish.
【……】
[After bypassing the shabby stalls, you enter a dark and hidden alley. 】
[At the end of the alley is a shabby shop with an old sign saying ‘Dark Market Warehouse’. 】
[You push open the small wooden door of the shop. The wooden counter in the shop is protected by iron bars. Through the small arched window, you can see a man wearing imported glasses lying on a rocking chair behind the counter.
Old man.]
[The ‘fire-worshipping warehouse merchant’ saw the distinguished guest coming to his door and quickly stood up to entertain him.]
[You take a look at the cargo list it handed over and you see that the goods on it are the same as you have seen before...]
【……】
[You shake your head and return the list to the 'warehouse merchant', claiming that you are going to visit a friend who is an alcoholic and need to buy a bottle of rare wine. ]
[The 'warehouse merchant' looks embarrassed and tells you that there happens to be a jug of good wine in the warehouse, which was pawned by a customer. However, the wine is still within the redemption period and cannot be sold to you.]
[The 'warehouse merchant' turned around and opened the cabinet door and took out a simple celadon bottle. 】
[‘Shequen Sake’ (Treasure): A bottle of precious sake that has been stored for decades. It has the effects of relaxing muscles and activating the circulation, beautifying and aphrodisiac, and tastes better when drunk chilled. 】
[Sell this item to a merchant, and you will gain a lot of spirituality. You can also give this item to the relevant plot characters in this volume, which can greatly increase your favorability.]
[Spiritual value: 150000]
When Lin Xun saw the word "treasure", he suddenly thought that there was another treasure in the inventory called 'Fan Qi Nong Xiao Tu'. The effect of the prop was similar to that of 'Photography Sake'.
He quickly clicked on the props.
[You take out the ‘Picture of Fan Qi and Xiao’, show it to the ‘warehouse merchant’, and ask how much it is worth?]
[The 'warehouse businessman' was shocked, carefully took the scroll, and observed it carefully with his Western glasses on. 】
[After observing it for a long time, it couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, it’s a famous painting handed down from generation to generation, it’s really a famous painting handed down from generation to generation!]
[The 'warehouse merchant' hesitated for a while, turned around and opened the cabinet door again, and took out a small paper crane. 】
[It picked up a pen and wrote a line of small characters on the wings of the paper crane. With a sigh of relief, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew through the counter fence towards the outside of the warehouse. 】
['The Warehouse Merchant' will explain to you that he always pays attention to the integrity of his business and should not break the rules and sell the customer's items in advance, but this treasure of yours really makes him feel itchy.
.]
[Now it uses the 'Paper Crane Talisman' passed down by Zhu Chi to contact the owner of 'Shequen Sake' and ask him if he still wants to redeem the item. ]
[You look thoughtfully at the 'Paper Crane Talisman' flying away. There are many rare treasures here in the 'Kucang Merchant', including rare objects imported from Zhu Chi. 】
[You have an idea and ask the 'Kucang Merchant' if there are any high-end town objects passed down from the Zhu Chi Kingdom? ]
[The 'Kucang Merchant' was startled, frowned and looked at you carefully. After a long time, he asked softly, distinguished guest, are you not a native of Yingluo? 】
[The General has a ban on the sale of 'township items' among the people. It is rumored that all 'township items' must be handed over to the imperial palace, and the general will distribute them to various Onmyoji schools.】
[As soon as you pinch the sword technique, the ‘Uzuki Onikiri’ will float in the air.]
['Kucang Merchant's eyes widened and he quickly bowed and saluted. It turned out that the distinguished guest was a disciple of Immortal Zhu Chi. No wonder he had such a Zhu Chi treasure in his hand as 'Fan Qi Nong Xiao Tu'.】
[It stood up and left the counter, walked to the door of the store and looked around. Seeing no one around, it closed the door of the store, leaving only a small gap in the window. 】
[The 'warehouse merchant' returned to the counter, recited the mantra silently, and stretched out his hand to conjure an object out of thin air. 】
[That is a huge sharp tooth as big as a palm.]
[‘Fu Dou’s Teeth’ (legendary item): A precious artifact left behind after the death of the legendary fierce monster ‘Fu Dou’ in the Zhuchi Empire. 】
[Use this prop, and then assist with related skills, to suppress and conquer ‘monster-like’ summoned beasts. 】
Lin Xun was overjoyed.
With this item, you might be able to conquer the 'nine-tailed fox' as a shikigami!
[You quickly ask the ‘warehouse merchant’ for the price of this item.]
[The 'Kucang Merchant' shook his head and made it clear that the value of this thing is immeasurable. If it had not been to Zhu Chi by chance, he would not have been able to obtain this thing. 】
[This ‘Teeth of Disaster’ is too precious and can only be exchanged for things in kind. 】
[Regardless of whether this business is successful or not, please do not disclose the information about ‘Teeth of Dou Dou’ to the outside world. 】
[You nod in agreement and ask if you can use ‘Fans Qi Nong Xiao Tu’ in exchange for ‘Teeth of Disaster’? 】
['The Warehouse Merchant' seems to like the 'Fans Riding on Xiao Tu' very much. His face was tangled, and he hesitated for a while before speaking. Your treasure is indeed valuable, but it is not as good as the 'Teeth of Disaster'.
Much more.】
Lin Xun was not surprised by this. After all, it was a legendary item, so it was reasonable for it to be of high value.
He searched the inventory and found a scrap called "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls". The description of the item can also be exchanged for spirituality from the merchant.
However, the value of this thing seemed to be very low. The warehouse merchant just glanced at it casually and shook his head in rejection.
Lin Xun didn't know what to do for a while.
"Should I kill the businessman and just go to whoring for free?"
The old habit of being a prostitute came to mind again unconsciously.
He shook his head and quickly got rid of such thoughts.
Most of the apostles are capable of killing weak merchants, but they cannot explode trading items after killing the merchants.
Even if the merchant is killed after the transaction, the spiritual nature of payment for purchased goods cannot be revealed.
He sighed and searched the inventory again to see if there was something valuable that he didn't need.
After some searching, I actually found two items.
The first is the 'Law Owner Order of Fairyland'. With this token, you can go to 'Wandering in Fairyland' and become a real prostitute. It is of inestimable value to those who are passionate about this.
The second is the 'General's Guard'. Using this item has a probability of attracting the attention of 'extremely evil consequences'. It is a veritable suicide artifact.
[You take out the ‘Order of the Owner of Xianxiang’ and ‘The General’s Guard’ and ask the warehouse merchant how much these two items are worth?]
[The 'warehouse merchant' suddenly frowned when he saw the 'general's guard' in your hand.]
[It looked at the 'General's Guard' carefully. The more it looked, the more frightened it became. For a while, sweat appeared on its forehead and its face turned pale. 】
[The 'Kucang Merchant' quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, claiming that he did not know that you were the right-hand man of the General. If he had known, he would not have sold such contraband as the 'Teeth of Dou'. ]
[The 'Kukura Merchant' begs you not to report this matter to the General. It is willing to give you the 'Shequen Sake' and the 'Teeth of Disaster' for free...]
Lin Xun was stunned.
"Good guy, hell games bear witness, I don't mean to threaten you at all... I really want to pay this time!"
He twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that he would never be able to escape the name of a free prostitute.
"I will definitely pay for it next time, as long as it's not too expensive!"
[You silently accepted the ‘Shequen Sake’ and ‘Teeth of Disaster’ from the ‘Kukura Merchant’. 】
[You have obtained ‘Shequen Sake’ (treasure)! 】
[You have obtained the ‘Teeth of Dou’ (legendary item)! 】
[You tell the 'Kukura Merchant' that you have been serving the general at the 'Kyoto Imperial Palace' all day today, and have never been to 'Ukioka Castle', and you don't even know what a 'fish market' and a 'dark market warehouse' are. warehouse'……】
[When the 'warehouse merchant' heard these words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to wipe the sweat from his forehead. ]
[You gave the "Patriarch's Horses Playing Xiao" and "Double Dragons Playing with Pearls" to the "Warehouse Merchant", but he was too frightened to accept them. He refused for a while and then reluctantly accepted the two scrolls. 】
[With two treasures in your arms, you wave goodbye to the 'warehouse merchant' and leave the 'dark market warehouse'...]
【……】
[You left ‘Fukang City’ and came to the deserted wilderness...]
[‘Gyeonggi Daegangsan’ is located to the west of Kyoto. Do you want to rush there immediately? 】
Lin Xun looked at the 'Nine-tailed Fox's Tail Hair' in the item list.
I was wondering if I should immediately summon the 'nine-tailed fox' and bring him into the harem.
After careful consideration, he still suppressed the impulse. There was only one piece of 'Teeth of Dou', which meant that he could only choose one between 'Nine-tailed Fox' and 'Shuten Doji'.
Lin Xun decided to go to Gyeonggi Dajiangshan to find out what was going on before making a decision.
