In the market town of Jinshan City, tens of thousands of miles away from Xiaoyao Sect, a new teleportation formation appeared at some unknown time.
There was a flash of light in the formation, and a figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Xu Chunniang who had been busy setting up the formation for many days.
Jinshan City Market is the farthest market under the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao Sect.
After setting up this teleportation formation, Xu Chunniang showed a look of relief on her face.
It took six years to finally set up all the teleportation arrays.
Although setting up these teleportation arrays consumed a lot of materials for the sect, once the teleportation arrays were completed, they could also bring in a lot of income for the sect.
In the long run, it will do more good than harm.
The one guarding the teleportation array was a female Jindan cultivator from Qianji Peak.
The female cultivator looked at Xu Chunniang, her eyes full of admiration.
"Uncle Xu, has this formation been set up?"
Xu Chunniang looked at her with a smile, "Yes, I have taught you how to maintain and repair the formation. From now on, the teleportation formation in Jinshan City will be in your charge."
The female cultivator nodded heavily and promised, "I will definitely not let down Master Xu's trust."
Seeing that Xu Chunniang seemed to be leaving, the female cultivator was a little surprised.
"Master uncle is going back to the sect. Isn't he leaving via the teleportation array?"
Xu Chunniang didn't look back, but just waved her hand.
"No need. Jinshan City is far away from the sect. It's a rare trip here. I plan to travel around."
The female cultivator said nothing more and watched Master Xu leave with a respectful look on her face.
After leaving the Jinshan City market, Xu Chunniang walked eastward as if she was strolling in a garden.
Over the past six years, she has been busy all day long setting up teleportation formations for the sect.
Now that she had finally finished this task, she felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders and was ready to relax.
Cultivation requires a balance between relaxation and effort. In recent years, she has pushed herself too hard and has no time to take a close look at the scenery along the way.
By the time Xu Chunniang realized this, she had already reached a very high position, and only a few people could share the scenery with her.
Since the fall of Hunyuan Sect, the world of cultivation has entered a brief period of peace.
However, for the sake of spiritual stone resources, cultivators often engage in intrigue and deception, and there are many cases of murder and robbery, making it difficult to have real peace.
In comparison, the mundane world is much more peaceful.
After all, every country and county in the mortal world is bound by laws, and even kings and nobles are not allowed to easily harm the lives of mortals.
To some extent, although the life of mortals is hard, it is much more stable than that of monks.
Xu Chunniang recalled the uncultivated mortals she had come into contact with, a smile appeared on her lips, and she walked towards a mortal city.
As long as she conceals her skills and identity, why would she worry about not finding someone to enjoy the scenery with
At the gate of Dongling City, there were still several soldiers blocking Xu Chunniang's way.
"A pass?"
Xu Chunniang was well prepared and took out a document.
After checking, the soldiers guarding the city quickly returned the documents and let them go.
After successfully entering the city, Xu Chunniang subconsciously prepared to put the documents into the storage space, but when she thought that she was in a mortal city at the moment, she put the documents back into her sleeve.
Walking on the busy streets, the aroma of various foods rushed towards her nose.
The shouting, hawking and noise of street vendors are endless.
Xu Chunniang's eyes lingered, feeling emotional.
Mortals only live for a hundred years, and have to go through all kinds of pains such as birth, aging, sickness and death, but they are so vivid and real that they seem to never worry about these things.
Xu Chunniang looked at a steaming shop, her eyes full of curiosity.
Since she started practicing Buddhism at the age of eight, she gradually gave up her desire for food because grains would hinder her practice.
I only ate some spiritual food occasionally, but I wasn’t greedy.
With her current level of cultivation, even if she eats a lot of mundane food, it will not harm her cultivation.
"Sir, would you like a bowl? The wontons are freshly made and tender!"
Seeing her standing at the door of the store for a long time, the waiter smiled and said, "The wontons here are made with freshly rolled dough and freshly chopped meat. They only cost eight cents!"
What is wonton? I have never heard of it.
Xu Chunniang hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the store under the expectant gaze of the clerk.
She looked at the large bowls in front of the other guests and said, "Then have one."
"Okay!"
The waiter walked towards the kitchen and soon brought out a large bowl of steaming wontons.
"Sir, your wontons cost eight cents."
Xu Chunniang naturally had no copper coins from the secular world.
However, there are still some gold and silver items.
She casually took out a piece of gold and handed it to the waiter.
The clerk immediately looked miserable, "This... Even if you give me gold, I still can't find the change!"
Xu Chunniang was just about to say that there was no need to look for it, but out of the corner of her eye she saw other people observing the scene vaguely, so she calmly took back the gold and exchanged it for a piece of silver.
Whether in the world of cultivation or in the mundane world, the principle of not showing off one's wealth always applies.
Although she is not afraid of trouble, there is no need for her to cause trouble.
The clerk's expression eased a little. Although the silver was valuable, it was not so valuable that he could not make change.
Taking the large string of copper coins given to her by the waiter, Xu Chunniang picked up the wonton, looked at the large bowl of wontons in front of her, picked up one and put it into her mouth.
The wonton skin is thin and the meat is tender. You can taste the soup when you take a bite.
Although it has no spiritual flavor, it is quite good in terms of taste.
While eating wontons, Xu Chunniang felt a rare sense of peace and leisure.
In her life, spiritual practice occupied most of her time.
It is extremely rare to have such leisurely time as now.
Originally she only planned to stay in the city for a few days, but at this moment, she began to think about settling down here.
Although human life is short, people are still willing to spend a lot of time on entertainment.
She has a thousand years to live, so why should she keep rushing around
After eating wontons, Xu Chunniang went to a dental clinic and, under the guidance of a dentist, bought a quiet courtyard.
Fang Ya, who facilitated the deal, was so happy to see Xu Chunniang being so straightforward that his face was filled with smiles.
"I heard that the original owner of this courtyard was a high-ranking official. After he built this courtyard, he was promoted before he had time to move in. You are buying this place and it is a good place to keep it."
Xu Chunniang smiled faintly, paid the silver, took the house deed, and walked out of the brokerage office.
Returning to the newly bought courtyard, Xu Chunniang casually broke off a branch from a nearby osmanthus tree and cut off the excess leaves. Then a simple wooden sword was born.
Xu Chunniang held the wooden sword in her hand and recalled the three sword techniques that the man in black robe taught her.
The man in black robe once said that these sword techniques were called Heaven, Earth and Man. If one could fully comprehend them, they would be able to exert extraordinary power.
The first one is the sword for man.
After recalling it several times in her mind, Xu Chunniang clenched the wooden sword in her hand and began to swing it awkwardly according to the images in her mind.
"Huh, huh..."
The wooden sword was waving in the air, bringing with it gusts of wind, and then with a "crack", it broke...
