Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 688: Chapter 627: Stepping onto the Peak 36 (4,000 Words)_3

During a chase where Hua Qingcheng was desperately trying to escape from people sent by that man, she happened to run into Liang Ziqian who was out, and with nowhere else to turn, Hua Qingcheng begged Liang Ziqian to save her. After Liang Ziqian rescued her, Hua Qingcheng sought refuge by Liang Ziqian’s side and became his maid.

Hua Qingcheng thought that even if she’s not the main character in a novel, she should at least possess the qualities of an important supporting role. After all, she had traveled through worlds, and her luck should be quite remarkable; every time she faced danger, there was someone to save her. These thrilling yet safe adventures resembled those of a protagonist. So when she went out to the marketplace, she hoped to stumble upon some treasure.

As a result, Hua Qingcheng bought a bunch of messy things and imitated the behavior from novels by smearing them with her blood one by one. She also tried using spiritual energy to probe them, but none reacted. Finally, she obtained a small jade token, and the more Hua Qingcheng looked at it, the more she felt she truly found a treasure.

Since the jade token was spotted by Liang Ziqian, Hua Qingcheng, having served Liang Ziqian for such a long time and trusting his character, casually handed him the jade token and asked him about it. Of course, she didn’t really think Liang Ziqian could know, since treasures are not supposed to be easily identified if they are truly treasures.

Unexpectedly, Liang Ziqian glanced at it and then handed it over to Shuangshuang. The two of them figured out the jade token’s origins together through their conversation, and it turned out not to be a treasure at all, which greatly disappointed and annoyed Hua Qingcheng.

Shuangshuang didn’t know that Hua Qingcheng imagined herself as the heroine in a novel. She was examining a spiritual medicine at a stall, stored in an exquisite jade box. A small sign in front of the box indicated its price: three thousand spiritual pearls, a very expensive sum.

Fei Hu, bored, lay on Shuangshuang’s back, resting his chin on her shoulder while staring at the spiritual medicine inside the jade box. Tan Feiyu found it interesting and couldn’t resist raising his hand to stroke Fei Hu a few times before crouching next to Shuangshuang to ask, ”Sister Shuangshuang, what spiritual medicine is this?”

Shuangshuang returned her gaze from the spiritual medicine to Tan Feiyu, suddenly patting his shoulder and saying, ”I don’t know if I should say you’re a lucky kid. Do you know what this spiritual medicine is?”

Tan Feiyu shook his head, thinking that among the Tan Family, aside from the universally acknowledged talented and knowledgeable Shuangshuang, probably no one could easily identify a spiritual medicine and understand its effects at first sight.

Shuangshuang delightedly picked up the spiritual medicine, casually taking out three thousand spiritual pearls from her storage bag and handing them to the stall owner. Then she explained to Tan Feiyu, ”This spiritual medicine is called Illusion Heart Grass, the main ingredient for concocting Barrier-breaking Pill.”

”I know,” Tan Feiyu responded, ”The Barrier-breaking Pill is used to treat those who can’t distinguish illusions from reality due to being controlled by illusions. Consuming the Barrier-breaking Pill can help them break free from the illusion. It’s an extremely precious elixir, no wonder the Illusion Heart Grass is sold at such a high price.”

Seeing that Tan Feiyu finally knew something, Shuangshuang nodded in satisfaction and continued, ”Because of this effect, people often forget that Illusion Heart Grass has another function. Its juice, when smeared on the eggs of naturally born illusion beast-type magic beasts, can enhance these beasts’ talents and improve their hatching success rate.”

As Shuangshuang finished speaking, Tan Feiyu’s expression turned excited, and he exclaimed, ”This Illusion Heart Grass is perfect for my Illusion Butterfly eggs, isn’t it?”

Shuangshuang nodded, passing the jade box containing the Illusion Heart Grass to Tan Feiyu but still reminding, ”Illusion Heart Grass only increases the Illusion Butterfly’s chances of survival by two percent, primarily relying on spiritual power to nurture. Don’t think just because you have this Illusion Heart Grass, you’re all set.”

Tan Feiyu nodded his head vigorously, looking like a chick pecking at grains. He was thrilled at the moment, receptive to everything Shuangshuang said. Moreover, he genuinely loved Illusion Butterflies, determined to hatch one.

After this trip to the marketplace, only Tan Feiyu returned with something significant; even Hua Qingcheng gained something, while Shuangshuang and Liang Ziqian were the ones who truly just went out leisurely, buying nothing.

Upon entering the Tan Family’s gate, Zhao Ying, the head steward of the Tan Family, came forward to greet them and said to Shuangshuang, ”Miss Shuangshuang, the master and the second young master are waiting for you in the conference hall. Please go there immediately.”

Liang Ziqian promptly took the hint and left with Hua Qingcheng. Tan Feiyu was eager to hatch his Illusion Butterfly eggs and ignored his curiosity, rushing to the Book Collection Pavilion to find information about incubating Illusion Butterfly eggs.
