Chapter 1849: Advantages of Chang'an City
Cai Ma has a very magical ability. He can tell the exact age of anyone whose hand Cai Ma touches.

Relying on this skill, Cai Ma often cheated people in Chang'an City, and many people came to Cai Ma to have their fortunes told.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that these fortune tellers were really boring. They had no idea how old they were, yet they had to pay money to have others tell them for them.

"Is this your fortune-telling stall?"

"Yes, when I was fortune-telling today, I had an idea in my mind and tried to predict your fortune. I didn't expect that I would get it right. Then I put down my stall and found you!"

Cai Ma found Zhang Xuezhou.

After some not-so-coherent expression, Cai Ma hoped that Zhang Xuezhou could play the role of a good host.

If she could not fulfill her duty as a good host, Cai Ma hoped that Zhang Xuezhou would give her a huge sum of money so that she could return to the holy land.

Of course, it would be best if Zhang Xuezhou could follow Cai Ma back to Kunlun.

Zhang Xuezhou finally felt that there was nothing wrong with being a good host, but the other two items were not possible at the moment.

He followed Cai Ma to the East Market to close their stall.

"I want to eat snow bird's nest, yellow lip fish glue, ground lotus fruit, big candied dates..."

"no!"

"But you have money. You carry five hundred taels of gold with you. I know where to buy these!"

When Zhang Xuezhou tried his best to be a good host, he found that being a landlord was not that easy.

Zhang Xuezhou is not a stingy person. For him, as long as the money is spent where it should be spent, he won't frown.

But at the moment he really couldn't spend money recklessly. The people in Zhangjiazhuang had just temporarily escaped hunger with the reward from King Jiangdu. He couldn't use the money lavishly, while the people on the other side lived in straw huts wrapped in grass.

This money from Han Anguo was like timely help to him.

The reward from King Jiangdu can ensure that everyone has enough food to replenish their food supply for a long time, and the five hundred gold can be used to purchase some housing in Chang'an City. Even if it is a bungalow, it is better than sleeping in the slums outside Chang'an City.

Buying a house is a difficult thing, and Zhang Xuezhou needs to wait for an opportunity now.

He should save this money instead of using it to buy snow bird's nest.

"This money is not easy to come by," Zhang Xuezhou said with a heavy face, "I rely on this money to treat my illness and save my life. I can't buy you snow bird's nest right now."

"in this way?"

"Yes!"

"But I really want to practice life skills. I have been away from the Holy Land for too long and haven't made medicine to replenish my body for a long time!"

"Are these things to help you practice?"

Zhang Xuezhou initially thought that Cai Ma was greedy and wanted to eat a luxurious meal. But when he mentioned his own practice, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was quite tiring and that no normal person could learn Cai Ma's practice at all.

Cai Ma thought for a long time whether to choose to cure the disease and save lives or to choose to practice cultivation. Finally, she felt that Zhang Xuezhou's request was totally irresistible. Her cultivation was indeed not as important as Zhang Xuezhou's cure and life-saving.

"Do you have a place for me to live? Do you have normal food and drink?" Cai Ma asked disappointedly.

"Don't worry about that. Although we have more people, it's no problem for one more person to stay. Besides, we have enough food and drink!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest and promised to agree.

This made Cai Ma's face look much better.

But when she followed Zhang Xuezhou home, she saw pork piled up all over the yard. The strong smell of pork filled the entire house, which made her feel a little nauseous.

For Cai Ma, who was used to light meals, this scene was somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, there were five people busy in the yard, and people came in and out from time to time. It was obvious that this place must be very noisy, and the quietness that Cai Ma wanted was completely impossible.

She had never expected that Zhang Xuezhou would live in such a place. In terms of living conditions, Zhang Xuezhou was the saint with the worst living environment that Cai Ma had ever seen.

"Ruoruo, come here quickly, Zhou Zhou has brought the girl back!"

A woman who was cutting meat with a butcher knife first spotted Cai Ma and shouted, which made an old woman in the kitchen come out quickly with a smile on her face.

Cai Ma looked at everyone who was staring at her. She hesitated for a moment and then quickly glanced at Zhang Xuezhou.

"I said my son is not a eunuch in the palace, he still likes girls!"

"This is my aunt, this is my mother, that is my uncle, this is my father, this is my cousin, and this is Zhang Baobao from my village who came in to carry the goods!"

Seeing Rong Li shouting and Rong family quickly coming over to join in the fun, Zhang Xuezhou quickly introduced them one after another.

"This is my...senior sister!"

Thinking about what Cai Ma said about having practiced for decades, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was nothing wrong with Cai Ma being his senior sister. She might even be older than You Rong and others.

"I didn't expect that you're still connected to the secular world," Cai Ma sighed, "You've never practiced the art of life, and by the time you calm down and practice, I'm afraid you'll be too old!"

"A monk?"

"Great monk?"

After hearing Zhang Xuezhou's introduction and Cai Ma's narration, Rong Shi and Rong Li couldn't help but hesitate, and there was even a hint of caution in their eyes.

There were numerous monks in Chang'an City, and people from the Rong family were afraid of bumping into the monks and bringing trouble to Zhang Xuezhou.

The two of them were greeting each other very enthusiastically at first, but when they figured it out, they were so embarrassed that they wiped their hands on their sleeves.

"She was just passing by here. She might stay at our house for a while, or she might not be used to it and leave tonight..."

"I'm used to living here!"

Zhang Xuezhou was an observant man. Just when he was about to conclude that Cai Ma would find it difficult to adapt to the living environment of Zhang's house, he did not expect the other party to agree to it.

“I need to save money to buy something!”

Cai Ma muttered in a low voice.

If we exclude food, drink and lodging, Cai Ma’s earnings from fortune-telling are pure profit.

It is not difficult to make the choice between making a long journey back to the Kunlun Holy Land to get supplies for practice, or earning some money to tide over the difficulties.

Cai Ma felt that if she had a deeper understanding of Chang'an City, it would not be too difficult for her to make money. She might be able to earn 500 taels of gold at a time like Zhang Xuezhou.

Moreover, Cai Ma discovered that Chang'an City was extremely rich in various supplies. Some things that were extremely hard to find in the Kunlun Holy Land could be purchased directly in Chang'an City by spending some money. This made her still have some thoughts about Chang'an City. She felt that she could stay in Chang'an City before entering the realm of supernatural powers, and even the things she would need in the future might be available in Chang'an City.

For all these reasons, it is not surprising that Cai Ma was willing to stay in Chang'an City.

Moreover, she had said what she needed to say and fulfilled the summons. From now on, she was a free person and could do whatever she wanted. She only needed to go back when the holy land called her back.

Of course, Cai Ma’s identity as a saint is a problem. If discovered by the people in the Immortal Court, it will bring all kinds of trouble, so she needs to restrain herself.

After thinking her own affairs through, she couldn't help but whisper a few words to Zhang Xuezhou.

"Got it. I won't call you Saint, and please don't give me random nicknames!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded repeatedly and responded in a low voice.

Cai Ma doesn't like to call the Saint Maiden casually, and Zhang Xuezhou also doesn't like to be called the Son of God.

Whenever he thought of the Hundred-Year Covenant, he felt that these holy places were simply looking for scapegoats to resolve their conflicts.

Unless he was mentally disabled, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could not find any reason to get involved in such a thing.
