"Alas!" "Rest assured, I will keep it a secret!" Yue Liusu smiled and said.
"Girl, there seems to be another problem?" Jing Qiao started to speak again.
"Can you finish your words at once?" Yue Liusu stood in place, she decided to only leave after hearing what Jing Qiao had to say.
"That is, when we enter the city, we also need to pay for our cards!"
Yue Liusu, "..."
"What do we do now?" Yue Liusu was truly at her wit's end. She had originally thought that the rules of Upper Heaven Path were very simple, but in the short span of two incense's worth of time, she had overthought things.
"Now... "Let's think of a way first. Anyway, I …" Jing Qiao stretched out his hand and scratched his head. He was helpless, he had only thought about going back to the Upper Heaven Path, and had forgotten about it.
"Let's go, I have one." At this time, the silent Jing Yao finally spoke out.
Suddenly, several pairs of eyes landed on Jing Yao, "brother Yao, where did you get this from?"
Everyone had a look of disbelief, they did not know that Jing Yao had kept his trump card!
"Back then, when I was at Jing Family, my father intentionally let me make a family, so I kept this up. I didn't think that it would be useful now. Speaking of which, sigh …" Jing Yao suddenly sighed, he extended his hand and a card shining with gold light appeared in it.
The two sides of the card were covered with golden lines, making it look really pretty.
"Good job, brother Yao!" Yue Liusu directly praised her with his big thorns.
"Alright, let's go now. There's a difference in the time between the two continents, so the time spent on Upper Heaven Path is two hours less than the time spent on Profound Sky Continent. We need to reach the city as fast as possible, and then go in.
Jing Yao said, he took the card and led the way.
"Who is the hunter?" Yue Liusu could not help but ask curiously.
Liu Yiner began to explain again, "Hunters are bandits, they stole your money to survive. In Upper Heaven Path, other than skill and background, the most important thing is to have money."
Yue Liusu was puzzled, "This money can be stolen too?"
"That's right. As long as you hold your own card in your hand, you can transfer all the money to another card with your mind. That's why hunters have such forceful methods. Usually, we only need to swipe our card when we want to buy things."
"So it's like that …" Right now, it did not sound very complicated, just like a Dimensional Ring. It could only be said that the way of life here was very simple and crude, and compared to Profound Sky Continent, it was more than ten times better!
It was only now that she realized what Wu Qingcheng had said to her. It turned out that she was really a bumpkin from the Profound Sky Continent.
Hahaha …
She wanted to quickly adapt to the situation here, then level up her spiritual energy and head to the city where Shen Jueming was at the earliest possible time.
The current her was really too weak.
"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Jing Qiao slowly walked beside Yue Liusu. From before, her thoughts did not seem to be on the point.
"I'm fine." Yue Liusu lightly smiled as she suppressed the longing in her heart. She should have worked even harder.
"Oh, it's good that you're fine. We'll be there in about an hour. It's almost dark now, but we should be able to make it in time." Jing Qiao said.
Yue Liusu raised his head and looked towards the sky, only to see a deep red sunset hanging on the horizon, the red color of the clouds was like a piece of silk that covered the horizon, covering half of the sky above Upper Heaven Path in red.
"Elder sister, at night, you can still see very bright stars." Xiao Chen's voice came from his mind.
"Hmm, I got it. Do you want to come out for a walk?" Yue Liusu asked.
"No need, Xiao Chen will stay in the Heart Lake with the little cute. Otherwise, I will have to spend some money when I enter the city." Xiao Chen said.
"Eh?" Pet need to spend money to enter the city? Yue Liusu was a little confused. So everything here was really linked to money! This would be bad for his mind. While he was cultivating, he would also have to earn money to subsidize his family.
Pity...
Very quickly, they arrived outside the city gate before the sky turned dark. Jing Yao went to pay up, and let them in.
When they entered the city, Yue Liusu saw that both sides of the streets were filled with little shops selling various pill s. In short, as long as they could raise their cultivation, they were all there for sale!
Yue Liusu was not interested in watching, on the way, Jing Yao was at the front, followed by Jing Qiao, Liu Yiner and Yue Liusu who were behind her. She was neither fast nor slow, both of her hands placed on her slender waist, and her pink lips formed a beautiful smile, it could be said that as soon as she walked into the crowd, a few sharp-eyed people had already set their eyes on her.
"Look, where did this beauty come from? This is probably my first time here, right? "
"Right."
"…"
The sounds of discussions that surrounded Yue Liusu could not be heard, and some of the more daring ones pretended to simply brush past Yue Liusu, as those perverted hands that were hidden away were quietly avoided by Yue Liusu one after another.
"Girl, hurry up!" Jing Qiao was already anxiously shouting, he did not want to turn around, because without them, they would have to group up and find someone, that would be more troublesome.
"He's coming." The streets here were very wide, but the population was very dense. It seemed like living in the Upper Heaven Path was a type of fate, but like the Profound Sky Continent, there were some people with bad fates. It was likely that some people would only stay here for their entire lives.
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, Jing Yao finally found a resting place. They waited for a minute at the inn's entrance before Yue Liusu leisurely came to their side.
"Be careful not to get lost." They were really worried that the newly-arrived Yue Liusu would be targeted by those traffickers and then kidnapped. What should they do?
"An Lai, let's go in first."
Jing Yao went in and opened four medium rooms. After all, they still had a lot of money on them, and the way to make money was too difficult. They needed to save it a little.
Jing Yao ordered for food before bringing his friends to the room to wait. They were all tired, but they would have to eat before sleeping.
The room's layout was simple, but still considered clean. Yue Liusu closed the door and revealed a mysterious smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Jing Qiao had no solution.
Yue Liusu stretched out her hand and took a few orange cards, "Look."
"Wow?" Jing Qiao's eyes widened in shock, he stood up and walked towards Yue Liusu, "You, you, you can't be …."
"That's right, don't worry. I'm not such a disloyal person. I'm just trying to get rich." Yue Liusu laughed, and then placed the card on the table. Liu Yiner counted, there were a total of eight cards!
"How long will that keep us here?" Yue Liusu asked.
Jing Yao very calmly held the orange cards in his hands and felt them. After that, he opened his eyes and said calmly, "More than a month."
"Enough, one month is enough for me to leave this place. I can't drag you guys back, can I?" Yue Liusu sat down with her knees together and took a sip of the tea. A sweet taste spread from her mouth to her throat.
"This is?" Yue Liusu frowned and asked.
"The Upper Heaven Path's tea is almost all made from spiritual herb." Jing Qiao explained: "spiritual herb s are those herbs that provide spirit energy. Later on, when people realized that the spirit energy effect of the spiritual herb was doubled after it was brewed, they would produce spirit energy tea."
"But spiritual herb aren't limitless, right? Aren't you afraid of losing roots? " Yue Liusu asked. If the spiritual herb s were limited, wouldn't that mean that he had killed himself?
"It's not going to happen, spiritual herb s grow endlessly, as long as they have a root and cut off the top, they will sprout and grow as fast as they can, then continue to channel spirit energy to the Upper Heaven Path. But the difference is, the spiritual herb s in each city are different."
"There are still levels. For example, if you go cultivate in Zi City for a year, in Orange City, even if you cultivate for a hundred years, you still wouldn't be able to achieve the same result as in a year." Jing Qiao explained. Well, that was basically what he learned during Jing Family.
Jing Yao was different, he had always been his father's right-hand man. There was no other way, he didn't like taking care of all the business with Jing Family, he only liked to study some things.
"So that's how it is." Hearing Jing Qiao's explanation, Yue Liusu suddenly understood why there were so many people in these towns. Originally, spiritual herb were not pure enough, and with the increasing number of people, it was as if they had no money to continue bearing children, increasing the poverty of their families.
Let the brother Yao keep all of these. Everyone will definitely be sleepy today, after eating lunch, we will go to sleep. Yue Liusu suggested.
"Alright."
"You can, but you can't move around randomly. You're not too familiar with the rules of survival here, so it's easy for something to happen." Jing Yao still wanted to sound the alarm for Yue Liusu. After all, she knew this dishonest character of his. That would be weird!
"Eh …" Yue Liusu's brilliant smile suddenly froze on her face. She only had that thought, she did not plan to sneak out yet.
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll be safe." Even though he said so, he would think about it later.
Soon, the dishes were served and they all went back to sleep.
Yue Liusu returned to his room, and currently, the room was filled with the faint fragrance of sandalwood. Coincidentally, there was a piece of burnt out sandalwood in the incense burner on the table.
She neatly lied on the bed with both her hands behind her head. In the quiet room, the figure of Shen Jueming surfaced in her mind.
"Are you all right now?" She could not help but whisper to the air.
"Sigh …" She took a deep breath, smiled self-deprecatingly with her pink lips, turned over, and lay down.
How could he hear it?
But, I really miss you … I miss you so much... Wanted to see you right away, you know? I have already come to the Upper Heaven Path, so I will be looking for you very soon.
When he thought of them breathing the same air under the same blue sky, he felt that he was a step closer to him and that he was looking forward to the moment when he would see him.
