You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 479 Be Your True Self

After being surprised, Xia Yu understood and said, "It's not appropriate for us to go back to the top of the mountain in the near future, right?"

Shi Zelan nodded and said, "Xia Yu, are you worried about your father?"

"My uncle is at the top of the mountain, and the people who came should be from the sect, so I feel more at ease."

"In fact, Master originally wanted to take Lan Jie'er and me back to Shijiazhuang quietly, but now he has changed his mind and wants to take us to another place to hone our skills for a few years and then see how things go in the future."

"I can do it."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu said in unison, and then they looked at each other: "We have a good understanding."

Shi Zelan turned and looked at Shi Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, are you a little disappointed?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head and said, “No, Master is very dedicated to me, I am not disappointed.

Since the day I left Shijiazhuang, my family has been prepared for the possibility that I will never see them again in this lifetime."

At night, Master Decheng called the three children to talk, explained the current situation on the top of the mountain, and asked them: "Is there any place you want to go?"

Shi Xiaoliu thought about it seriously and said, "Master, I am interested in the ancient recipe for the elixir."

After Master Decheng nodded, he asked Xia Yu, "What about you?"

Xia Yu thought about it carefully and said, "I need formation stones, and the things I need to prepare to refine my natal sword."

Master Decheng nodded at him as well. He turned to ask Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, what about you?"

"Uncle Master, I want to have more experience in fighting monsters. I also need to prepare some talisman materials and find some materials to refine a sword."

After Shi Zelan finished speaking, Shi Xiaoliu added, "Master, I also want to find materials to refine a sword."

“Okay, all good.

Well, we have something to do and a goal in the next few years, so I want to find out some information."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two asked Master Decheng about what they needed to prepare for the journey, and Master Decheng gave them guidance.

Afterwards, Shi Xiaoliu said with emotion: "I have traveled far away with my master before. Now, after listening to his instructions, I know how much I owe to him for taking care of me in the past."

Shi Zelan said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "We need to prepare a lot of things, and we also need to prepare some gold and silver.

There are a lot of herbs here, so we can pick more herbs these days and exchange them for some silver."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu agreed with Shi Zelan's proposal, and Shi Xiaoliu specifically went to ask about Master Decheng's arrangements for the next few days.

He came back and said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "Master said that he would give us ten days to prepare the luggage for the long journey."

After discussing it, the three of them decided to just pick herbs in the first five days, and in the next five days they could prepare for the trip while picking some herbs at the same time.

Ten days later, Master Decheng and his party left Jiuzhou.

As for where they were going, Master Decheng meant that as long as they left Jiuzhou, they could go anywhere.

When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two heard the answer from Master Decheng, they were all stunned.

Master Decheng worked hard for ten days, and in the end he got an answer that was left to nature.

Jiuzhou is very vast, and they flew in the sky for ten days before they got out of the territory of Jiuzhou.

Master Decheng pointed to a place not far away and said to the three children with a smile, "We have arrived at Yingzhou."

Naturally, they would not just go into Yingzhou like this, but would change their attire. Master Decheng said that they would abandon their identities as disciples of a large sect and be their true selves again.

They landed on a mountain, and the four of them agreed on their identities, and then everyone went down the mountain. Decheng Zhenren was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu were dressed as young scholars, and Shi Zelan returned to her daughter's identity.

In order to be convenient, Shi Zelan had always dressed like a man. Now that she had changed back into a girl's attire, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

They went down the mountain, entered Yingzhou City, and logged in as monks.

Zhenren Decheng suppressed his cultivation. He is now a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, while Shi Xiaoliu and the other two are naturally disciples in the Qi Refining stage.

After they entered the city, they met a cultivator dressed as a broker at the city gate. After listening to his introduction, Master Decheng selected a suitable cave.

The broker quickly sent a message to the manager of the cave, and the man came very quickly, as if he was nearby.

When the middle-aged man arrived, he looked at Master Decheng, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, then politely bowed and asked, "Guest, are you renting this place for a long or short term?"

Master Decheng gave the steward a medium-grade spirit stone and told them to stay for a few days.

If they want to live here for a long time, they can contact the manager to discuss the next steps.

The middle-aged steward smiled and said, "You will definitely rent it for a long time. There is no better place than my cave in this area."

Master Decheng just smiled, and then asked him for some information, "I have some precious herbs from the mortal world, where can I exchange them for spirit stones?"

The manager frowned and said, "It's not easy to deal with the herbs from the mortal world in our area. Even if we sell them, we can only get gold and silver from the mortal world, and we can't exchange them for spirit stones."

Master Decheng nodded, and the steward handed him a jade sticker and said, "You can open the cave you live in in the next few days."

After Master Decheng and the steward nodded, they pressed the jade sticker on the entrance of the cave. A flash of light appeared in front of the door, and soon the cave door opened.

The manager and the broker stood at the door. They only walked out after seeing Master Decheng and his party enter the cave.

"The person you introduced is not simple. What kind of reward did you get this time?"

The agent took out a bottle of elixir and showed it to the steward: "It's a tonic elixir.

Daoist friend knew what I was missing at a glance, and I quietly opened it and smelled it, it was a top-grade spiritual tonic elixir."

The steward reached out and took it, opened the lid and smelled it, then replied to the nervous dealer: "It is really a top-grade elixir.

As long as you can help me attract a few more customers, I won’t care about these benefits.”

"Uncle, you are my uncle, so I naturally believe you.

I think they intend to stay in our Yingzhou for a while. I remember you also took care of a cave that is better than this one."

The steward glared at the toothman and asked: "Did you mention the cave in front of them?"

"No, I wouldn't dare make noise outside without your permission."

"You are smart. I want to keep that cave to welcome the distinguished guest. I can't let anyone else live in it."

"Uncle, I heard that your cave has been empty for decades. It has been empty for too long. Is it still habitable?"

“Who said it’s always empty?
More than ten years ago, a disciple of Yun Yanzong came to Yingzhou and stayed there for half a month.

The time is a little short, and other people don’t know it.”

“Uncle, don’t you think that the group of people who just entered the cave are also disciples of a large sect?”

"I sent a message to the city gate to check, and they didn't log in to the sect.

Humph, they must be some small family who came to our Yingzhou to broaden their horizons."
