Chapter 283: The First Meeting of the Three Giants in Penglai Fairyland

Chapter 283: Chapter 283: The First Meeting of the Three Giants in Penglai Fairyland

That night, Feng Haonan, fully healed from his injuries, was arranged to stay in the area where numerous Lingtong with spiritual roots lived.

As a self-proclaimed transmigrator, he quickly familiarized himself with his current environment. After making sure he wasn’t being watched, he hid himself under the blankets and triggered his Golden Finger according to the information in his mind.

His consciousness wavered for a moment, and when he came to, he found that his surroundings had completely changed.

He stood before a magnificent, classical pavilion, next to a massive stone monument. In front of the monument, aside from him, there stood two other figures.

One was a child of around six or seven. The child creased his forehead, an extraordinary momentum emanating from his tender frame, as if an emperor ruling over the world.

Just like him, the child was observing his surroundings without showing any hint of surprise, as if he had entered willingly. Some reminiscence? Uncertainty?

The other one was a girl, around fifteen or sixteen by appearance. At present, she wore a face full of astonishment and bewilderment, seemingly finding herself here unexpectedly.

What was strange was that although he could clearly see both of them, he couldn’t form a conceptual visualization of their appearances in his mind, likely due to some unique restrictions of this area.

Observing this scene, Feng Haonan’s thoughts raced.

Was this place an actual Lord God’s space?

Were they new people?

Where was the old man who led beginners?

What kind of place was the newbie world?

He sincerely hoped it wasn’t some place like the world of apocalypse; he really couldn’t cope with it!

Perhaps because the memories of his previous life had awakened, Feng Haonan’s personality seemed to have changed somewhat, becoming less reserved and gloomy and gaining some levity.

At the moment, all three of them were in a standoff, observing each other and their surroundings without rushing to speak.

········

Liang Cheng was doing his best to keep his composure. He hadn’t expected that when he fell into that dream state again today and encountered the Thunder Emperor’s dream, he would discover that he had subjective consciousness, much like a lucid dream.

He also discovered the root cause of the Thunder Emperor’s rise in his dream: the Ancient Penglai Immortal Realm, and for some inexplicable reason, he subconsciously attempted it.

As a result, he ended up here.

"Once you enter Penglai, your mortal body undergoes transformation."

"Casting off mortal ties, and from then on, the path to Immortality awaits."

Looking at the enormous monument in front of him, as well as the inscription on it, which was the same as what he’d remembered from the dream that led to his ascension as the Thunder Emperor across the heavens.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his childish little face serious but his heart full of excitement.

·········

Among the three of them, only Xiang Feifei was completely clueless, not knowing what was happening.

Before any of them could break the silence.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a booming noise, the main gate of the grand Fairy Palace slowly opened. At the same time, some basic information also surfaced in the three’s minds: the Ancient Penglai Fairyland, the rules of trading in the Fairy Palace, and the value degree currency that could buy everything.

"Since you have entered Penglai, you have gained the chance for Immortal encounter. Why not come inside the palace for a chat?" As the rules surfaced in their minds, a voice spoke from the silvery main gate.

The voice was young and filled with the magnetic charm of a male voice, yet it also carried an intense feeling of vicissitudes, as if its owner had experienced countless eons.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then exchanged a look. Feng Haonan, the ’transmigrator,’ had the strongest resilience and took the lead to step into the silver gate.

The child, Liang Cheng, seeing this, promptly followed suit. Xiang Feifei, seeing even such a small child acting so decisively, plucked up her courage and followed them in.

As they stepped through the silver light gate, the space seemed to ripple like water, and in a blink of an eye, their surroundings changed once more.

What came into view was a massive palace, inside which a gigantic container occupied the majority of the room. Various bursts of spiritual light twinkled atop the giant container.

"It’s not the Lord God’s space, but a Ten Thousand Realms shop?" Feng Haonan mumbled subconsciously in a daze.

Both Liang Cheng and Xiang Feifei turned to give him sidelong glances. Realizing he had spoken out loud, Feng Haonan instantly closed his mouth.

As their gaze moved lower, the three of them noticed a rather inconspicuous table and chair beneath the massive and imposing container. A young man was sitting on the chair.

In his twenties, with eyes as distinguished as a star and eyebrows as sharp as a sword, he was impressively handsome. He wasn’t tall, nor particularly burly. His temperament was aged and mature, carrying a hint of Confucian elegance, giving people a sense of a cultured scholar weathered by time.

He clearly appeared minute compared to the massive container behind him, much like an ant, but he gave off an impression of great nobility and spirit, evoking feelings of awe and intimidation.

Simply sitting there, he resembled a majestic mountain, towering and unscalable, causing an innate feeling of awe and reverence to arise.

The three of them watched this scene, their gazes all more or less dull.

The first to react was Xiang Feifei, who seemed to be the most confused. Her considerable knowledge and experience prompted her to immediately step forward. She bowed to Wang Zijia and said, "A student of the Wanyu Sect, Xiang Feifei, pleased to meet you, senior."

Liang Cheng and Feng Haonan were both shocked. They glimpsed at Xiang Feifei unconsciously, feeling vaguely familiar with her face but unable to connect her to a concrete concept, so they were unable to interact with their memories.

During their flash of thoughts, they, too, bowed to Wang Zijia and said, "Feng Haonan (Liang Cheng), pleased to meet you, senior."

"The younger Daoists are very polite. I am Yun Zhongzi, the shopkeeper of Penglai Fairy Palace, responsible for the trade affairs of this epoch’s Penglai Fairy Palace," Yun Zhongzi replied indifferently.

"A pleasure to meet you, Senior Yun Zhongzi!" Upon hearing his words, Xiang Feifei bowed again.

"Pleased to meet you, Senior Yun Zhongzi!"

"....."

So did Liang Cheng and Feng Haonan.

"Young Daoist friends, since you’ve set foot in Penglai, you are destined for Penglai, so there’s no need for so much formality!"

Although his smile seemed amicable and friendly, it gave off a strong sense of vicissitude, making the three of them regard him with great respect.

The three remained silent for a moment. As the ’transmigrator’ with the highest ability to absorb knowledge, Feng Haonan, who had already assimilated all the information and rules concerning Penglai in his mind, cautiously asked, "Senior, can the Penglai Fairy Palace truly exchange anything?"

"Naturally, provided that you possess enough value," replied Yun Zhongzi calmly, his smile faint.

"What if I want to become an immortal instantly?" Feng Haonan asked somewhat tangentially.

"This is not impossible. Whether it is the Nine Revolution Golden Pill, the Yin Yang Immortal Apricot, or the Ascension Jade Mirror, all could fulfil the requirement of instant immortalization, each with different effects."

As Yun Zhongzi spoke, the massive container behind him, too large to see the end of, emitted Spiritual Light. From its highest point, a few containers opened up, and a dazzling golden pill, a strange black and white immortal fruit, and an ancient jade mirror flew out, enveloped by Spiritual Light. They shone like a proud sun in the sky, rendering the three of them spellbound.

The sights did not stop there. The container spit out more than ten different light orbs, flickered for a moment, then flew back.

Yun Zhongzi casually showcased the goods as if these treasures were nothing more than ordinary Spiritual Materials, then calmly looked at Feng Haonan and asked, "But do you, young friend, possess enough items to exchange with the value of these goods?"

Feng Haonan’s eager look froze. As a ’transmigrator’, his perception of being impoverished could not be clearer.

Xiang Feifei, at this moment, had also fully digested the information in her mind. Her eyes shimmering with an odd light, she looked at Yun Zhongzi and said, "Senior, can magic money really be exchanged for valuable currency to purchase anything?"

"Of course," Yun Zhongzi replied as calmly as ever.

"Including the cultivation of spells?" Xiang Feifei added, "Regardless of one’s talent?"

"Including cultivation!" Yun Zhongzi’s expression remained unchanged, and he added, "However, the amount of magic money you can exchange has a limit. The three of you have unique identities, so you already qualify as official customers of Penglai upon your arrival."

"Every year, there is one opportunity to enter Penglai, and each year, there is a limit of ten thousand magic money for exchanges. If you wish for more, you must obtain value through equivalent treasure exchanges, tasks, and other means. However, Penglai hasn’t issued customer tasks in over ten thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Feifei was overjoyed.

Being familiar with the concept due to the dream world of the Immortal Emperor, Liang Cheng was most accustomed to these, after all, he became the Thunder Emperor of Ten Thousand Realms through the Ancient Penglai Palace;

Feng Haonan was no stranger to it either, due to his awakened memories.

However, hearing Yun Zhonzi’s words about their "special identities," both of them were simultaneously shocked and terrified.

"I can go get the money now!" Xiang Feifei said eagerly.

"There is no rush, even if you are already official primary customers, you can only enter once a year. For this visit, you can complete the exchange first, and then pay later." Yun Zhongzi seemed to have thought of something, and added, "Penglai’s items can only be used within Penglai, and cannot be taken out for exchange with others."

Xiang Feifei’s cheerful expression froze, and she was speechless for a moment.

Meanwhile, Liang Cheng and Feng Haonan were silent. At this moment, one had just transmigrated and awakened, and the other was newly reincarnated from an Immortal Emperor. Both were destitute.

As a ’transmigrator’, Feng Haonan naturally refused to resign himself to such a once-a-year opportunity turning into a mere sightseeing trip. Rapid thoughts flashed through his mind as he sought to extract greater value.

When his gaze passed over Xiang Feifei and he remembered she was a student of the Wanyu Sect, a light bulb went off in his head and he ventured, " Senior, since this Penglai Fairy Palace is a trade-oriented shop, can we communicate with each other inside the shop?"

Yun Zhongzi seemed to be stunned by the question for a moment, but then laughed and looked at Feng Haonan, saying, "Of course."

As he spoke, the area around them in the spacious, empty Great Hall started to rearrange itself under the fascinated and stern gaze of the three. Chairs appeared one after another as if emerging from nothing, in the blink of an eye, the hall started to resemble a teahouse.

Seeing this, Feng Haonan turned to Xiang Feifei and Liang Cheng and said, "Why don’t we form a gathering where we share what we have? What do you two think?"

Xiang Feifei was taken aback at first, but then reacted, having had the experience of participating in a Sect illusion, she added, "We can also exchange our cultivation experiences and some news."

Hearing her words, she turned to look at Yun Zhongzi, her eyes full of anticipation as she tentatively asked, "Since the senior also supports us to communicate in the shop, can you be a witness?"
