The King of Black Fog

Chapter 528: Preparations Before the Trading Journey


As for the matters concerning the marketplace, whatever decision Xian'er decides to make, Li Changzhou doesn't interfere.

He contemplated what had just occurred.

He spoke indifferently, even if the other party dared to mention killing him, he wrote them off as a nobody, but with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator assisting with replenishing magic, if they found him, they truly could kill him.

After all, Xian'er was only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, her ability to replenish magic was far inferior to the Nascent Soul stage.

How could the other party have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator as a Human Pillar Power?

Did they give up their initial choice?

Or does the Value Game allocate different choices to each player based on their style and preferences?

Perhaps so.

It's hard to imagine, given Chang'e's character, guiding a man or ugly woman in cultivation—this was Li Changzhou's prejudice against Chang'e, if the game didn't start with a single beautiful woman, Chang'e would declare the game over.

So why did the Value Game give him Xian'er and the hanging ghost?

It's a pity the hanging ghost was sold, otherwise, it could have been interrogated to see what it had in common with Xian'er, which might help him understand himself.

On the other side, because of Li Changzhou's earlier "grand display of Divine Power," the three young ones were filled with anticipation about the future, discussing along the way.

When the three of them envisaged themselves as Golden Core stage experts, the flying boat arrived at Green Moon Square.

"Come with me first, we'll put away our things, then I'll accompany you to get your stuff," Xu Ni said.

"Okay." Xian'er nodded.

This was already discussed.

Now that spirit rice and spirit vegetables were just planted, they wouldn't farm anymore.

They were going to Lake Sound Square, having no time to tend to the spirit fields.

Also, now with money, they would naturally frequently come to the marketplace to purchase cultivation materials. As they came more often, everyone would know they had money, and the robbers would surely target them again.

Given the circumstances, they might as well move into the marketplace and co-rent with Xu Ni.

The marketplace had a law enforcement team from the Green Moon Sect; it couldn't be guaranteed to be entirely safe, but it was certainly safer than living beneath Spirit Field Mountain.

"We've also embarked on this path," on the way to Xu Ni's house, Jiang Xiaoyue sighed, "Many seniors actually farmed too, and once they had money, they all moved into the marketplace."

"I heard from the shopkeeper that the Zhou Family's ancestor also did, once lived in a cottage on Spirit Field Mountain, and later somehow prospered." Xu Ni knew lots of tidbits.

The Zhou Family's ancestor had just celebrated his 150th birthday before Xian'er arrived, and Xu Ni had joined in the celebration.

All cultivators who farmed in the same era as this Zhou ancestor had perished, none reached the Foundation Establishment stage, leaving him as the sole survivor.

This alone was unexpected for everyone.

Not even family clans of the Foundation Establishment stage can guarantee subsequent generations of Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone loose cultivators, hence the Zhou Family ancestor must have had some fortuitous encounter back then.

Many robbers grew up hearing their parents' regrets; if they had robbed Zhou's ancestor back then, they would be the ones starting a family now.

"We had our fortuitous encounter this time too!" Xu Ni exclaimed with excitement.

"Xian'er had the encounter," Jiang Xiaoyue chuckled, "Just casually came out, encountered a senior, and began the path of Immortal cultivation."

"It was my fortuitous encounter," Xian'er grinned widely, "But it wasn't just meeting a senior, meeting Xiaoyue, and you, Nizi, are also my encounter."

Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni beamed with joy.

The three still wound their way through isolated spots.

Xian'er couldn't help but chuckle, recalling what Mr. Divine said, with treasures but no capability, one always takes such routes, isn't it true?

They were precisely people with treasures but lacking skills.

Wonder if Zhou's ancestor walked this road back then.

They arrived at Xu Ni's house, placing the Fengwei fish into a water tank, applying the Oxygen Supply Talisman purchased along the way.

Some had died, bitten by the Silver Ring Snake, which was still confined in the fish keeper.

After hiding the treasures from the five robber cultivators, Xu Ni locked the door, and the three headed towards Spirit Field Mountain.

The three of them were seated on the litter pole, the scene making Li Changzhou stifle a laugh.

Xian'er, Xu Ni had magical swords, but they weren't flying swords that could carry people, they couldn't just grab hold and hang while flying, could they?

"My house is too small, only one room, with nowhere for three people to sleep. We have to draw our water, dump our tubs ourselves, with the three of us renting, we can rent a better place." Xu Ni began envisioning the future again.

"Weren't we going to clear land?" Xian'er asked, "No need to rush in renting a house, right?"

"True." Xu Ni nodded with sudden realization.

The three little witches rode the litter pole, safely returning to Spirit Field Mountain.

Upon dismounting, Xu Ni rubbed her sore posterior, complaining about the discomfort of the litter pole seat.

Xian'er, with a lady's restraint, discreetly rubbed her bottom when the other two weren't looking.

Jiang Xiaoyue rolled her eyes: "Suit yourself, whether you want to sit or not."

She stubbornly endured, refraining from rubbing her own bottom!

Xian'er returned to her courtyard to pack her clothes, still bundled in the package from when she fled Mr. Liu's house.

There wasn't much else, the Talismanic Ink was used up, leaving only a few books, along with a bag of spirit rice and spirit vegetables.

She took one last glance at the pile of weeds under the eaves, noting the impression of a bottom and the marks left from dried water stains, then turned and left.

Jiang Xiaoyue also didn't have much luggage, as loose cultivators were usually penniless.

Her most precious was that spiritual sheep.

Taking a last look at their residence, Jiang Xiaoyue said: "Let's go."

"What's there to reminisce about," Xu Ni said dismissively, "Your home has always been in the marketplace."

"Oh?" Xian'er was curious.

"Can I talk about it?" Xu Ni asked Jiang Xiaoyue.

"Whatever." Jiang Xiaoyue harnessed the spiritual sheep to a cart, loading the spirit rice and spirit vegetables onto it—the ox cart from before had been rented.

Xu Ni turned to Xian'er:

"Xiaoyue's parents and mine, they used to transport goods, once prospered temporarily, but were later killed due to their success.

"After our parents died, I chose to stay in the market and was taken in by a shopkeeper who was close to my parents, while Xiaoyue took the sheep her parents left her—"
