Chapter 644 – Mortal Food
Chapter 644: Mundane Food
Tens of thousands of miles away from the Free and Easy Sect, in the Jinshan City market, I don’t know when, a new teleportation formation appeared.
Formation in a flash of light, a figure appeared in it out of thin air, it is the many days busy to set up the array Xu Chuniang.
Jinshan City workshop market was the farthest workshop market under the jurisdiction of Easy Sect.
After setting up this teleportation array, Xu Chuniang’s face revealed a look of relief.
It had taken six years to finally finish laying all the teleportation formations.
Although laying these teleportation formations had consumed a lot of materials for the sect, the completion of the teleportation formations could also bring in a lot of income for the sect.
In the long run, it was something beneficial and harmless.
The one guarding the side of the teleportation array was none other than a Jindan female cultivator from Thousand Chance Peak.
The female cultivator looked towards Xu Chuniang, her eyes filled with reverence.
“Uncle Xu, is this formation finished being set up as well?”
Xu Chuniang looked at her with a smile, “Not bad, I’ve already taught you the methods of maintaining and repairing the formation, and in the future, you’ll be in charge of the teleportation formation in this Jinshan City workshop.”
The female cultivator nodded heavily, promising, “I will not fail Uncle Xu’s trust.”
Seeing that Xu Chuniang appeared to be leaving, the female cultivator was somewhat surprised.
“Senior Uncle returning to the sect, won’t you take the teleportation array to leave?”
Xu Chuniang didn’t turn around, only waving 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 didn’t say any more, looking respectful as she watched Master Xu leave.
After exiting the Jinshan City workshop, Xu Chuniang seemed to be walking leisurely as she made her way east.
Over the past six years, she had been busy all day long laying down teleportation formations for the sect.
Now that she had finally finished this matter, it was as if she had put down a big stone in her heart, and she planned to relax a bit.
Cultivation emphasized the importance of relaxation, and over the years she had pushed herself too hard and had no time to look at the scenery along the road.
By the time Xu Chuniang realized this, she had already stood at an extremely high position, and there were only a handful of people who could share the scenery with her.
Since the destruction of the Mixed Yuan Sect, the cultivation world had entered a brief period of calm.
However, cultivators tended to cheat each other for the sake of spirit stone resources, and there were even fewer instances of killing people and crossing goods, making it difficult to have true peace.
In contrast, the mundane world was much more peaceful.
After all, in the mundane world, each country, each county, there are laws and regulations, even as princes and nobles, may not easily damage the lives of mortals.
In a way, although the life of mortals was miserable, it was much more peaceful than that of cultivators.
Xu Chuniang recalled the mortals she had come into contact with who did not have cultivation, the corner of her mouth curled into a smile as she walked towards a mortal city.
As long as she hid her cultivation and identity, why worry about finding someone to watch the scenery with?
At the gates of Dongling City, there were still a few small soldiers, blocking Xu Chuniang’s path.
“Road guide?”
Xu Chuniang was prepared and took out a piece of paperwork.
The small soldiers guarding the city inspected it and quickly returned the paperwork and released it.
After successfully entering the city, Xu Chuniang subconsciously prepared to put the document into her storage space, but thinking that she was in a mortal city at the moment, she tucked the document back into her sleeve.
Walking on the bustling streets, the aroma of various foods competed to be the first to come towards the tip of her nose.
The yells, shouts, and noises of the street vendors were endless.
Xu Chuniang’s gaze lingered, her heart filled with emotion.
Mortals were but a hundred years in a hurry, and even more so, they had to go through birth, old age, sickness, death, and all the other sufferings, but they were so vivid and real, and looked as if they had never been troubled by it.
Xu Chuniang looked towards a steaming store, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Ever since she was eight years old and practiced monasticism, she had gradually quenched her appetite for food and drink because grains and cereals would hinder her cultivation. Only occasionally did she eat some spiritual food, and she wasn’t gluttonous.
With her cultivation nowadays, even if she ate more mundane food, it wouldn’t harm her cultivation.
“Sir, would you like a bowl? Freshly wrapped and sold wontons, fragrant and tender!”
The fellow saw her standing in front of the store for a long time, and with a smile on his face, he solicited, “Our wontons here are all freshly rolled out, freshly chopped meat fillings, only eight cents!”
What are wontons? It was unheard of.
Xu Chuniang hesitated for a moment, and stepped into the store under the fellow’s expectant gaze.
She looked towards the large bowls in front of the other customers, “One then.”
“Alright!”
The fellow walked towards the kitchen, and it didn’t take long to bring out a large bowl of steaming wontons.
“Sir, your wontons, eight cents in total.”
The copper coins of the mundane world, Xu Chuniang naturally did not have any.
However, there were still some gold and silver items.
She casually touched out a piece of gold and handed it to the fellow.
The fellow immediately had a bitter face, “This …… you give me gold, I can’t find it!”
Xu Chuniang was just about to say that there was no need to find it, when her afterglow saw the others sizing up the scene if anything, she didn’t move and withdrew the gold, exchanging it for a piece of silver.
Regardless of whether it was in the cultivation world or the mundane world, the principle of not revealing one’s wealth was always interchangeable.
Although she wasn’t afraid of trouble, there was no need to invite trouble.
The fellow’s face slightly slowed down, although the silver is also worth money, but it is not so bad that you can’t find it.
Receiving the large string of coins that the fellow found for her, Xu Chuniang picked up her chopsticks and looked towards the large bowl of wontons in front of her, picking up one of them and sending it into her mouth.
The wontons had thin skin and tender meat, and with a single bite, one could still taste the flavor of the soup.
Although it was devoid of aura, in terms of flavor alone, it was indeed quite good.
Eating the wontons, Xu Chuniang had a rare peace of mind and idleness.
In her life, cultivation had taken up the vast majority of her time.
Leisurely times like the present were extremely rare.
Originally, she had only planned to stay in the city for a few days, but right at this moment, she had some thoughts of settling here.
Mortals had a short lifespan, but they were still willing to spend a lot of time for pleasure.
She had a thousand years to live, so why should she be in a hurry all the time?
After eating the wontons, Xu Chuniang went to the dental shop and, under the guidance of a house tooth, bought a small, quiet courtyard.
When the house tooth who brokered the deal saw Xu Chunniang being so forthcoming, his face was filled with smiles.
“I heard that the original owner of this courtyard was a big official, and after he built it, he was promoted before he could move in, so if you buy this place, you’ll be right.”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, and after delivering the silver money, she took the deed and walked out of the dental office.
Returning to the newly purchased courtyard, Xu Chunniang casually snapped off a branch from the laurel tree on the side, and after trimming away the excess leaves, a simple wooden sword was born.
Holding the wooden sword in her hand, Xu Chunniang recalled the three sword moves the black-robed man had taught her.
The black-robed man had said that these sword techniques were called Heaven, Earth, and Man, and that if they could be fully comprehended, they would be able to wield uncommon power.
The first one, was the Sword of Being Human.
After recalling it several times in her mind, Xu Chuniang gripped the wooden sword in her hand tightly and wielded it somewhat rawly according to those images in her mind.
“Hoo, hoo ……”
The wooden sword waved in the air, bringing a gust of wind sound, and then “click” sound, actually broke ……
