Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 345 My Loved One

Qinyuan Mountains, Yaoling Market.

Xiao Chen came up with the idea of ​​continuing to open the Silizhai store here.

Without him.

Xiao Chen knew very well that the gap between innate spiritual treasures and acquired spiritual treasures was like a natural chasm, one in the sky and the other underground, which was difficult to cross.

The power and value of dozens of acquired spiritual treasures may not be comparable to that of one innate spiritual treasure.

In his "Black Myth: Journey to the West" equipment system, he has already figured out a set of rules for synthesizing magic weapons after years of testing.

To synthesize a C-level acquired spiritual treasure, he would need about 20,000 low-level weapons as materials. If he wanted to synthesize a B-level acquired spiritual treasure, he would need hundreds of thousands of low-level weapons.

As for the innate spiritual treasures, the process of synthesizing them is even more difficult.

An innate spiritual treasure requires nine top-level B-level acquired spiritual treasures as the foundation before there is a chance to try to synthesize it.

Over the years, Xiao Chen has put in a lot of effort and used his years of accumulation to synthesize a large number of acquired spiritual treasures.

He tried to synthesize the innate spiritual treasure five or six times.

But, it's strange.

He didn't know why, and he never succeeded once.

"Perhaps the probability of synthesizing an innate spiritual treasure is too low."

This is Xiao Chen’s initial guess.

After all, he had already experienced this routine in the games of his previous life.

The higher the level of the equipment, the lower the probability of synthesis.

This is the core logic of the game designer, and it is also the key to attracting players to continue to "spend money" and "play hard" in the game.

If the game system is not designed this way, how can we attract players to continue investing time and money?
Especially for those top-level equipments, the synthesis probability is pitifully low.

Shockingly low.

This routine is just like a scam. It will give you a glimmer of hope and make you keep investing, but when you empty your wallet, you will find that it is a bottomless pit.

However, facing the current situation.

Despite the numerous difficulties, Xiao Chen did not give up.

He planned to pile up the number again and continue trying to synthesize the innate spiritual treasure.

at this time.

Xiao Chen was traveling with the Great Immortal Pansi among the bustling group of monsters, feeling the prosperity and bustle here.

The market in the Qinyuan Mountains before us has a large flow of monsters and prosperous trade, and every corner is full of life and vigor.

Xiao Chen secretly calculated in his heart:

"This is a perfect location for opening a weapon refining shop."

He has a good relationship with the queen of the Qinyuan clan, Qinyuan Tianmi, and Pansi Daxian.

This is undoubtedly a major advantage for him to open a store here.

With local background.

He only needed to inform Qinyuan Tian Mi, and he could smoothly settle down in the Qinyuan Mountains and start his weapon refining business.

As for the Chitie Mountains, Xiao Chen has no plans to consider it for the time being.

On the one hand, although the Bull Demon King is in the Chitie Mountains, he can only be regarded as a "son of the moth", adopted along the way, and his status is ultimately somewhat awkward.

Naturally, the Bull Demon King's voice in the Chitie clan is far less than that of Qin Yuan Tian Mi, the pure descendant of the demon saint Qin Yuan.

On the other hand, the Chitie clan has their own unique weapon refining skills.

They poop and forge their own iron to create unique "poop" weapons, and they also do weapon refining business in Uttarakuru.

If King Jinjiao wanted to do the weapon refining business, he would be in competition with the Chitie clan.

The Bull Demon King was caught in the middle, and was in a difficult position.

If he were to go find the Bull Demon King for this matter, wouldn’t he be roasting the Bull Demon King on the fire?
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, it is undoubtedly the best choice for him, King Jinjiao, to start the weapon refining business from the Qinyuan Mountains.

Just as Xiao Chen was immersed in his thoughts, the voice of Pansi Daxian suddenly sounded in his ears:

"The fox demon's Yaoting Yuye wine is fake."

"The real 'Ancient Demon Court Jade Liquor' is clear amber in color, and there seems to be a subtle light flowing in the liquor, like twinkling stars."

“Drinking it is like drinking nectar, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, and the aftertaste is long.”

"That's not what he looks like."

Seeing Xiao Chen staring at the Yaoting Jade Liquor, the Great Immortal Pansi smiled and reminded him, thinking that he wanted to buy it.

"Ok?"

"Fake wine?"

Xiao Chen was startled when he heard this, and secretly complained in his heart:

"It seems that fake wine is also sold in this demon world."

“The atmosphere in this industry is really the same everywhere.”

He had seen a lot of fake wine in his previous life.

Those so-called fine wines are mostly made by mixing alcohol with various additives.

There are so many fake wines that real wine is hard to find.

I didn't expect it to be rampant in the demon world as well.

The fake liquor industry has a long history, transcends races, and is difficult to eradicate.

Whether it is a human or a demon, its deceptive and greedy nature is difficult to eradicate.

"I still have a batch of 'Yao Ting Yuye Liquor', which I got from the beginning..."

Pan Si Daxian paused here, and her eyes suddenly became gentle, as if touched by some distant memory.

But then, she reacted immediately and stopped talking, just pursed her lips lightly.

Pansi Daxian looked expectantly at Xiao Chen in front of him, smiled sweetly, and invited Xiao Chen:

"Golden Horn, will you have a drink with me tomorrow?"

"I think you will like this wine."

Xiao Chen, like the Bull Demon King, the Dragon Demon King, the Lion Demon King and other demons, is a wine-loving demon and has always liked what is in the cup.

What's more, this "Demon Court Jade Liquor" is a fine wine from the ancient demon court, and it is probably comparable to the royal wine of heaven.

Xiao Chen also wanted to taste the taste of the Imperial Jade Wine from the ancient demon court, so he readily agreed:
"Okay, since Senior Zijiao is interested, I will respectfully obey your orders."

The fairy Pansi was born extremely beautiful, and wherever she went, there would always be monsters looking at her in amazement.

What's more, there are some members of the Qinyuan clan here, and they all come to pay homage to the Great Immortal Pansi.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Pansi Daxian decided to hide her true appearance.

She walked lightly to a stall selling masks. The stall seemed like a small art palace, with all kinds of masks hanging in an orderly manner.

Each mask is made with great precision, and both the ferocious ghost face and the gentle fairy face are lifelike.

The stall owner is a chameleon monster.

Pansi Daxian's eyes moved among the masks, and finally, her eyes locked on two exquisitely crafted bird-face masks.

The feather textures of these two masks are clearly visible, and the colors are bright and eye-catching, as if they can spread their wings and fly at any time.

"Jinjiao, what do you think of this mask?"

The Great Immortal Pansi smiled slightly, reached out to take off the two masks, then turned around and handed one of them to Xiao Chen beside him, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

"pretty good."

Xiao Chen smiled as he looked at the mask in his hand and praised the Chameleon Demon's craftsmanship.

All monsters have different abilities and talents.

Chameleon monsters are naturally good at disguise and change. The masks they make are really good and unique.

Upon hearing this, Pansi Immortal wanted to pay for the two masks.

However, at this moment, Xiao Chen had already thrown out a piece of glittering dog-head gold from his sleeve. The gold drew a golden arc in the air and was accurately thrown to the chameleon monster who was selling masks and shouting hard.

The chameleon demon was quick-witted and caught the gold. The gold was heavy, enough for him to set up his stall for several days.

Seeing Xiao Chen's extraordinary demeanor and generous spending, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly shouted in flattery:

"You are so generous, my king!"

"This mask is the most valuable treasure of our stall. Your wife really has good taste!"

The immortal Pansi smiled slightly, said nothing, and gently put on the mask.

The mask was finely crafted and lifelike, adding a touch of mystery and charm to her.

After putting on the mask, Pansi Daxian's eyes that could speak appeared more lively and profound behind the mask. She blinked gently, as if she could convey thousands of words through the mask.

Xiao Chen took the mask and put it on his face.

"Let's go, Golden Horn."

Pansi Daxian said softly.

After hiding her face, Pansi Daxian looked much lighter, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden and became freer.

She turned lightly, and her purple skirt fluttered in the wind, like a dancing purple butterfly, wandering through the Monster Market.

Xiao Chen naturally followed closely behind.

The two monsters just wandered around the Monster Market.

As we all know, shopping is the same in the demon world and the human world. Usually, it is the women who shop around enthusiastically, while the men are like walking storage racks, responsible for carrying large and small bags.

However, Xiao Chen naturally did not have such worries.

His "little world in his belly" is an endless storage space that can easily hold any number of things and is easy to access, saving Xiao Chen a lot of trouble when accompanying women shopping.

No matter what the Great Immortal Pansi bought, he swallowed it directly into his "small world in his stomach".

It was obvious that Pansi Daxian had not gone out shopping for a long time.

She was obviously in a very good mood today, like a little bird that had just flown out of the nest, full of curiosity and excitement about everything around her.

She pulled Xiao Chen, stopping in front of this stall for a while, and running to that shop for a while, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

They first came to a colorful fabric stall. The shop owner was a chubby silkworm monster who was greeting customers with a smile on his face.

When the Heavenly Silkworm Monster saw Xiao Chen and Pansi Immortal coming, he immediately greeted them:
"These fabrics are made of real silk from the wild silkworm. They are soft and smooth, with an excellent luster. They are genuine and trustworthy!"

The fairy Pansi carefully selected the soft silks, gently brushed her fingers across them, and felt the delicate touch.

Sometimes she picked up a piece of red silk and gestured in the sunlight, as if she had already seen how beautiful she would look after wearing it; sometimes she put down the red silk and turned to another piece of blue silk, her eyes full of hesitation and expectation.

"Boss, I'll take care of all this."

Xiao Chen waved his hand, spat out a piece of gold nugget, and said generously.

Subsequently.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and took a light suck. The silks flew into his stomach as if pulled by an invisible force and disappeared into the "small world in his stomach".

Next, they came to the rouge shop filled with fragrance.

This rouge shop is decorated very elegantly, with all kinds of rouge and powder neatly arranged, emitting an enticing fragrance that makes people want to stop and admire them as soon as they enter.

The owner of this shop is a female cochineal spirit, and making rouge is her talent.

Women naturally love these things, and so do female fairies.

If there is one on the way, they will definitely go and see it.

The fairy Pansi was attracted by the exquisite rouge and powder, and she gently smelled the rouge and powder inside.

She picked up a box of rouge and gently spread it on her palm. She couldn't let it go because of its delicate powder texture.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen immediately took out a nugget of gold from his pocket and threw it to the shop owner without hesitation, saying with a smile:
"Boss, I want all these rouge and powder."

Subsequently.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and sucked, then swallowed all the rouge and powder that the immortal Pan Si liked into his "small world in his stomach".

In this way, they strolled along the way, and Xiao Chen would occasionally throw out a piece of gold nugget in exchange for the treasures that Pan Si Daxian liked.

To him, money is just something used to buy happiness.

King Jinjiao is wealthy, so he certainly doesn't need this little money.

It was worth it to make Pansi Daxian, who had little time left, smile, and it was also worthy of the trust of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord. During the shopping, Xiao Chen not only accompanied Pansi Daxian, but also occasionally selected some interesting small items or unique gadgets for her according to her preferences.

There are many female fairies in his "Golden Horn Song and Dance Troupe".

He had interacted with all kinds of female fairies, so he naturally knew their preferences well.

Whether it is shining jewelry, unique hair accessories, or interesting small ornaments, he can always accurately capture the surprise in the eyes of Pansi Daxian.

Every time this happened, Pansi Daxian would always laugh out loud at Xiao Chen's attentiveness and dedication.

Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, making the air around her seem lighter.

"Senior Zijiao, how about this?"

Xiao Chen picked up a small comb carved with exquisite patterns and handed it to Pansi Daxian.

The fairy Pansi took the comb, looked at the handle carved with exquisite patterns, and her eyes sparkled with admiration.

She gently stroked the teeth of the comb, feeling the delicate craftsmanship and warm touch, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

When she looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes had curved into crescent shapes, and she smiled sweetly:

"Jinjiao, you are so thoughtful."

"I like this comb very much, thank you."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said disapprovingly:
"Brother Baimu has helped me a lot, this is nothing."

The two demons strolled around the Demon Spirit Market for more than half an hour, walking, stopping, looking and buying, enjoying this rare festivity of the demon world.

Xiao Chen stood on the street in the market town, looking across the horizon and glancing at the darkening sky.

at this time.

It was already getting late, the afterglow of the setting sun had already begun to dissipate, leaving only a faint purple haze on the horizon.

The purple sunset glow was looming, like a shy girl gently covering her face with a veil. It was truly beautiful.

The moon will probably rise quietly in a short while, casting its cool silver light.

Xiao Chen glanced at the sky again, secretly calculating the time in his mind:

"The Green-robed Pansi Immortal..."

He knew that with the arrival of night, the always cold and icy green-clothed Pansi Immortal within Pansi Immortal's body would probably come out.

When he thought of her, Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown.

The green-clothed Pansi fairy has a strange personality and is always hard to understand. If you meet her, you will inevitably get into trouble.

"I should leave now."

Xiao Chen pondered secretly in his heart and decided to end his wandering today to avoid any more trouble.

He turned to look at Pansi Daxian beside him and said with a smile:

"Senior Zijiao, let's stop here today. It's getting late. Let's go back."

When Pansi Immortal heard this, he suddenly showed a strange look.

A ripple flashed across her originally calm face, and her eyes, which were always calm and composed on weekdays, now revealed a trace of panic. She gently covered her chest with both hands, as if something there was beating violently, causing her whole body to tremble slightly.

Pansi Daxian's voice was trembling as she said to Xiao Chen:
"Jinjiao, my heart is beating so fast, I wonder what's going on?"

Her tone was full of confusion and puzzlement, as if she couldn't understand why she suddenly felt this way.

"Your heart is beating fast?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Pansi Immortal with some surprise.

They are all monsters with profound cultivation and have long transcended the physiological limitations of mortals. How could it be possible that their heartbeats are as rapid as those of ordinary people?

This is absolute bullshit!

However, this Pan Si Daxian is the master of Bai Yan Demon Lord and his predecessor after all, so it is not easy for him to directly refute him.

If people say it is, then that is it.

However, Pansi Daxian has always been elegant and calm.

Xiao Chen had never seen Pansi Immortal lose his composure like this before.

"What should I do?"

Xiao Chen considered that it might be that the mysterious power in the body of Pansi Immortal had suddenly erupted again. If this power got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous.

He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern:
"what happened?"

"Senior Zijiao, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Pansi Daxian shook her head, a mysterious smile flashed in her eyes, she pulled Xiao Chen and said softly:
"Come with me, I have a secret to tell you."

"secret?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He didn't know what the secret of this Pansi Immortal was and felt curious.

Xiao Chen followed the Great Immortal Pansi, passed through the bustling market town, turned a few corners, and came to a remote dead end.

This place is sparsely populated, and it is so quiet that the only sounds that can be heard are the footsteps of the two of them and the occasional chirping of night birds in the distance.

Xiao Chen wondered:

"Senior Zijiao, what are you doing?"

"You brought me to such a remote place. Is there something important you want to tell me?"

Xiao Chen was a little confused, wondering what secret Pansi Immortal wanted to tell him.

The immortal Pansi stopped, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, she slowly took off her mask, revealing her incredibly beautiful face.

There was a strange light in her eyes, and she whispered:
"Jinjiao, I found that my beloved is nearby."

"When I thought he was nearby, I became extremely nervous and my heart started beating faster."

There was a hint of shyness and expectation in the voice of Pansi Daxian, as if she was a young girl in love, which made Xiao Chen a little dazed.

"The one?"

"Does this Pansi Immortal have a crush on someone?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he heard this.

He never expected that this Pansi Immortal actually had a lover.

And judging from her appearance, Pansi Daxian seemed to be quite concerned about this person, which made him feel curious and surprised.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but imagine the expression of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord after he knew about this. The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord must have been both surprised and helpless.

Xiao Chen muttered to himself:

"Could it be that Brother Baimu is going to have a 'master's wife'?"

When he was with Pansi Daxian before, he also saw that Pansi Daxian's behavior seemed...

Now it seems that he was overthinking it.

However, Xiao Chen was somewhat interested in the person that this Great Immortal Pansi loved, and wanted to see who was the one who had captured the heart of this Great Immortal Pansi.

Xiao Chen looked around. It was quiet all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects. He didn't see anyone else.

Xiao Chen was a little confused and asked:
"Senior Zijiao, did you see him just now?"

"What does your crush look like?"

The Great Immortal Pansi shook her head, but held the purple sword tightly in her hand.

The purple sword was shining with purple light in the afterglow of the setting sun, just like the most noble North Pole Purple Star in the sky. It not only exuded a mysterious and noble aura, but also seemed to contain some unspeakable power.

Pansi Daxian held the purple and blue sword and showed it to Xiao Chen:
"I didn't see him, but my purple sword kept sending out a 'beep beep' signal."

"It reminds me that my soulmate is nearby."

Her eyes were full of determination and expectation, as if she was ready to welcome the appearance of her ideal man at any time.

“Is there a beeping sound?”

Xiao Chen was surprised. He frowned, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully, capturing every slight fluctuation in the air.

As a great demon at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, his hearing is naturally extremely sharp, and his six senses are all sensitive. Even the slightest sound of breeze blowing through leaves cannot escape the range of his hearing.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he did not hear the so-called "beep beep" sound.

He looked at Pansi Daxian in confusion, his heart full of puzzlement.

But at this moment.

The pair of talking eyes of Pansi Daxian were telling him:
"I said it is true. The 'beep beep' sound is real, but you may not have heard it."

"Jinjiao, if you don't believe me, just listen."

The Great Immortal Pansi also handed the Purple Green Sword to Xiao Chen with a hint of expectation on her face, as if she really hoped that Xiao Chen could hear the "beep beep beep" sound made by the Purple Green Sword to prove that she was not lying.

then.

Xiao Chen took the purple sword, grasped the hilt, and pulled it out with a "clang" sound.

He looked at the purple-green sword. The sword body was transparent and chilling, and the blade seemed to be flashing with a faint purple light. It was indeed an extraordinary sword.

Xiao Chen gently shook the sword, put his ear close to the sword, trying to catch the so-called "beep beep" sound.

But no matter how he shook it or listened, he did not hear the so-called "beep beep beep" sound.

He frowned, his heart full of doubts.

"Senior Zijiao, where does the beeping sound of the Purple and Green Sword come from?"

"Did you hear that correctly?"

Xiao Chen said in surprise. He returned the purple sword to the Great Immortal Pansi, his eyes full of confusion.

The owner of this purple-green sword is the immortal Pansi. Could it be that the purple-green sword really has some magical power that can make a sound that only the immortal Pansi can hear?
Or was it that the Great Immortal Pansi was making fun of him?

"I heard it right."

The immortal Pansi took the purple-green sword and smiled gently, with a hint of mystery and shyness in her smile.

"Golden Horn, listen."

She placed the purple sword next to Xiao Chen's ear and opened her red lips slightly, as if imitating some kind of sound:

"Beep beep..."

The sound was soft and rhythmic, and indeed seemed like some kind of mysterious signal.

But it was obvious that this was the voice made by Pansi Daxian herself.

"This……"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said:

"Senior Zijiao, this is what you said. Your sword didn't say it, did it?"

He really couldn't understand this scene.

How could this Pansi Immortal imitate a sound that does not exist so seriously and make it sound so real?

Upon hearing this, Pansi Daxian said very seriously:

"Oh, Jinjiao, I know you can't hear the 'dududu' sound of my purple and green sword."

"That's why I told you."

Her eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, as if she really hoped that Xiao Chen could hear the mysterious voice and share her wonderful feeling.

"This……"

"Senior Zijiao, are you kidding me?"

Xiao Chen said helplessly.

He knew that there were two personalities within the body of the Great Immortal Pansi.

Could it be that there is a third personality?

Is this the third personality that emerged?
Otherwise, why would she suddenly become so strange? "

Pansi Daxian suddenly hugged the purple-green sword in his hand tightly, a trace of nervousness and uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"Golden Horn, I'm dying."

"But I still have some wishes that have not been fulfilled."

"I'm really a little scared."

Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner fear and anxiety.
