Wu Bei brought a pot of water and walked to the town more than ten miles away. There was only one small cart in the village, and the villagers usually carried a load when traveling far away. After all, they were all from poor families and had no money to ride horses and sedan chairs.
.
The road was a dirt road, not very spacious, but it could allow four horses to run parallel. Occasionally, horses passed by, and the dust flew up, making Wu Bei's head and face covered in dust. Although it was unpleasant to eat dust, he had nothing to do about it. Now he couldn't
Money can only be used to buy horses.
After walking seven miles, he could vaguely see the town in the distance, so he quickened his pace, hoping to reach the town as quickly as possible.
At this moment, he heard a burst of footsteps behind him. They were very neat. He looked back and saw four people carrying a red sedan walking quickly. These four people had extraordinary foot strength and could walk faster than a horse.
Fast. What’s even more amazing is that the sedan they carry has almost no ups and downs, and the people sitting in the sedan are very comfortable.
Suddenly, someone on the sedan said: "Stop."
The sedan suddenly stopped, the curtain of the sedan was opened, and a woman's voice came out: "Young Master, are you a guest cultivator?"
Wu Bei smiled and said, "How do you know?"
When the curtain was completely opened, Wu Bei saw a beautiful and delicate face. This was a young girl in her twenties. Her mental temperament was obviously different from that of Murakami.
She smiled and said: "With your gorgeous clothes, even if I am blind, I know that you are a guest cultivator. It's a hard journey. If you don't mind, sir, please sit in the sedan chair."
Wu Beidao said: "Thank you very much. I won't disturb the girl anymore. I'm afraid that the dust all over my body will stain the sedan chair."
Woman: "Young master, there is no need to be polite. You and I are both guest cultivators and should support each other."
Seeing that she was sincerely inviting her, Wu Bei was not polite to her, opened the curtain door, and bent down to get on the sedan.
The space in the sedan was quite large. The woman sat on the soft couch opposite. There were wooden boards on both sides for people to sit on. He sat on the wooden boards. When the sedan continued to move forward, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, girl."
The woman smiled and asked, "What do you call the young master?"
Wu Bei: "Li Xuanbei, please give me your name."
Woman: "I am Zhu Yuyan."
Wu Bei: "Miss Zhu, are you going to the town too?"
Woman: "I was passing by. When I arrived at the town ahead, I was going to find a place to rest. Where is the young master?"
Wu Bei: "Don't mention it. I was just dug out of the mud and haven't fully adapted to this place yet. But the person who found me is too poor and can't afford to eat. I plan to go to the town to exchange for some money."
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said: "Master, you can change to another family, like our guest repair, most wealthy families can't get it."
Wu Bei waved his hand: "Forget it, let's make peace with it now. Besides, my life was saved by others. I can't say that I will repay my kindness, but I can still do it with a beginning and an end."
Zhu Yuyan said with a smile: "Master Li is a kind person, and Yuyan admires him very much. But as far as I know, small towns like this are very aggressive about pawn prices. If something is worth ten thousand, it is considered good to give you one hundred."
"
Wu Bei frowned: "So dark!"
Zhu Yuyan: "What are you going to exchange for money?"
Wu Bei took out the jade pendant and asked, "Miss Zhu, help me see how much this jade can be exchanged for?"
Zhu Yuyan took it into the palm of her hand and looked at it. She felt that it was crystal moist and gentle, and a faint spiritual energy gathered in the jade. Moreover, the jade seemed to be able to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which made her very comfortable.
Her eyes lit up and she said: "Master Li, if you must sell this jade, can you sell it to me?"
Wu Bei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if I sell it to anyone, of course."
Zhu Yuyan: "Please give me a price, Mr. Li."
Wu Bei: "I don't know the market very well, so let the girl set the price."
Zhu Yuyan thought for a while and said: "A gem like this with exquisite workmanship is worth at least a thousand gold in the city. Well, I have seven hundred taels of gold on hand, and I will give it to Master Li first. When we get to the town, I will have someone give it to Master Li."
Make up three hundred."
Wu Bei still didn't know what the purchasing power of one thousand gold here was, so he asked: "Miss Zhu, what can one tael of gold buy?"
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said: "Have you seen those horses running on the road? A good horse is worth about thirty gold. An ordinary horse can be bought for only three to five taels of gold."
When Wu Bei heard this, he realized that the purchasing power was quite good. He smiled and said, "Then seven hundred, and the other three hundred will be yours."
Zhu Yuyan smiled: "Thank you very much, Master."
The two chatted for a while, and Wu Bei learned that Zhu Yuyan had only been in this world for three months. However, she adapted quickly and had good qualifications. She was currently being worshiped by a large family and her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds.
When it comes to spiritual practice, Wu Bei asked: "Miss Zhu, I heard that you can only leave if you get excellent results in the test?"
Zhu Yuyan nodded: "Indeed."
Wu Bei: "Is it difficult to achieve such results?"
Zhu Yuyan: "I asked someone to find out. On average, one so-called excellent result can be produced for every 500 guest practitioners, so our chances are very slim."
Although 1 in 500 is a difficult thing, Wu Bei doesn't find it difficult.
Zhu Yuyan: "Master Li comes from Kunlun Continent. I wonder what the situation of the monks there is like?"
Wu Bei simply said, "Where is Miss Zhu?"
Zhu Yuyan: "The situation is much worse than yours. The world I live in has just been plundered by the gods, and there are no masters now."
Wu Bei: "So, you are lucky to be here."
Zhu Yuyan sighed softly: "Maybe I have to be trapped here for the rest of my life, so what's the point of being lucky?"
Wu Bei: "Maybe we can all go back. Lay the foundation here, and then return here to continue to understand the complete way of heaven."
Zhu Yuyan: "Alas, few people who leave Tianwaitian can come back alive."
Wu Bei's heart suddenly moved: "So this place is called Tianwaitian!"
Zhu Yuyan: "That's right. Tianwaitian is the most important part of the Tianwai plan. The way of heaven here is almost complete, so practicing here will have about the same effect as practicing outside the circle."
Wu Bei: "It turns out that the so-called plan is called the Extraterrestrial Plan. You said no one can come back alive. Why?"
Zhu Yuyan: "No matter how strong a person is, how can he compete with the gods? These people who go out from the sky will eventually be killed by the gods!"
Wu Bei: "Miss Zhu is too pessimistic. As long as someone goes out, at least it brings hope."
Zhu Yuyan: "Maybe Mr. Li is a person with extraordinary qualifications, but I think I can't do it. So I don't care at all about the human race's plans or the rebellion against the gods. As long as I can practice well here and live well, I will be satisfied."
Everyone has different ideas. Wu Bei didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking this way, and said: "That's right."
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said: "I wonder what Mr. Li's previous cultivation was?"
Wu Bei: "Dongtian Realm."
Zhu Yuyan was surprised: "Is it just an earth immortal? That Mr. Li is really amazing! Generally speaking, most of the monks who enter the outer world are heavenly immortals, because it is difficult for earth immortals to withstand the tearing of the power of the law, and they often disappear as soon as they come in.
.”
Wu Bei smiled bitterly: "At that moment, I felt very uncomfortable, and I passed out directly."
Zhu Yuyan: "This is normal. There is no monk who comes to Tianwai Tian who is not unconscious. Mr. Li, the Dongtian monk, must have a bright future."
