Xu Chen sat in the beast carriage with Su Xiao Yue and her group. After half a day, the beast carriage they were riding appeared on the winding road.

"Look, that's the town." Su Xiaoyue excitedly pointed to the distant town and asked, "Is our hometown beautiful?"

Hearing this, Xu Chen looked up and saw the outline of the entire town.

The town didn't look very big. It was covered with white snow, and smoke was rising from the cookfires in the town. It looked very lively.

Although this small town was located in the western mountains of the Northern Lands, its back was against the mountains, and its location was rather remote.

However, it was a good thing that there were a lot of people in the town. There were many attics, bustling with noise and excitement, and it was not considered barren.

From the looks of the entire town, it looked pretty good. At least, that was what Xu Chen felt.

Before nightfall, Xu Chen and his group arrived at the town. Su Xiaoyue brought Xu Chen to a hotel.

They still wanted to sell the prey they had hunted in the mountains, so they said their goodbyes to Xu Chen.

After Xu Chen got off the beast carriage, Su Xiaoyue's small head popped out from the carriage. Along the way, she would often cough when she saw Xu Chen.

She was a little worried for Xu Chen. She waved her hand to stop Xu Chen and asked, "Xu Chen, do you really not want me to bring you to see a doctor?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xu Chen declined Su Xiaoyue's kind offer. He knew what was going on with himself.

"Alright then, be careful." Su Xiaoyue and Xu Chen bade farewell. Then she left with her team.

On the other hand, when Xu Chen stood in front of the inn, he did not go in. It was not because he lacked money.

He had a lot of Eastern Xuan Coins in his storage ring, he had never counted on it, he only knew that he had a lot.

Even though this world was the world of cultivators, other than cultivation, one must also survive. Therefore, Dongxuan Coins were very important to anyone.

For low-level cultivators like Su Xiao Yue, if they wanted to go to the Eastern Divine Region, the journey would be very long.

However, if they had enough Eastern Xuan Coins, they could use the formation patterns in the city to transport them. There were also some flying meridian beasts that were used by trading companies to carry humans, which could save a lot of time.

This was also the reason why Su Xiao Yue saved up so much money.

After pausing for a while, Xu Chen decided to take a walk around the small town. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had seen such a lively place.

His eyes had just recovered and everything was new to him.

Just like this, Xu Chen aimlessly strolled down the streets of the small town, sightseeing all around. The streets were filled with bustling hawkers.

"Hot noodles."

"Hot buns, it's already three Eastern Xuan Coins, come and try it."

"Fragrant meat, would you like one, young master?"

"It's a famous wine from the Northern Territories. It's fragrant, so I don't want money anymore."

Xu Chen's steps stopped in front of the inn. He had never drunk wine before, but he had heard of it in the books.

In the past, when he wanted to drink it, he had always refused the wine. Upon seeing this wine, Xu Chen thought back to the days when he had been extremely careful with the wine.

Xu Chen decided to drink it once, so he walked up to the shop owner and asked, "How much is this wine for?"

"Hehe, Young Master, this wine is priced at five Dongxuan Coins per jar, would you like to order?" The shop owner also seemed to be an alcoholic. He had a bad nose, a few pockmarks on his face, and a smile on his face. He looked very shrewd.

"Give me a jar." Xu Chen did not bargain further, taking out five Eastern Xuan Coins from his storage ring and giving it to the shop owner.

"Alright, Young Master, please take your wine." The shop owner received the five Eastern Xuan Coins and casually gave Xu Chen a jar. A smile blossomed on the corner of his mouth. Guests like Xu Chen were not common in this small town.

"Gongzi, do you need more dishes?" The shop owner thought that Xu Chen was generous and thought that he should recommend something else to him.

"No, thanks." Xu Chen politely refused.

"Catch the thief!"

"Stop right there!"

Just as Xu Chen was about to leave, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the direction he had just passed. It caused quite a sensation among the crowd.

Just as Xu Chen was about to turn around, he was almost knocked down by a little girl who looked to be seven or eight years old.

The little girl was barefoot and wore a tattered outfit. She had a head of messy long hair and her black cheeks were smeared with paint. She looked very dirty, like a stray kitten.

At this moment, a burly man chased after them from behind. He had a fierce look on his face as he said, "Alright, I've finally caught you. Every few days, you'll steal something from me!"

The big man was holding onto a stick with a face full of anger, while his other hand was tightly grabbing onto the little girl's hair.

Ah, wuu …" The little girl was in pain and cried out loudly. She struggled with all her might, but how could the weak one escape from this burly man!

"Damn thing, let's see if I'll beat you to death today!" The big man raised the stick in his hand and swung it towards the little girl.

Ah!

The little girl let out a helpless scream, but the surrounding people were clapping and cheering. Such a person should be beaten to death in their eyes!

Ah!" The big man picked up the little girl with one hand and beat her with a stick.

The little girl cried and cried and cried and cried in pain. Her tears flowed freely, making her look extremely pitiful.

Xu Chen was moved when he saw this, and he was even more moved when he saw how cold and indifferent these people were. Was this the law of survival for the weak in this world?

As Xu Chen looked at this pitiful little girl, her screams continued to echo in his ears. He quickly rushed forward and extended his hand to grab the big man's stick. "Stop hitting me!"

"Where did this kid come from? Mind your own business, get lost!" With a ferocious expression, the man pushed Xu Chen away with a shake of his body.

This man had cultivated some martial arts and was much stronger than Xu Chen in terms of physical fitness. The current Xu Chen was too weak.

"How many things did she steal from you? I'll compensate her with money!" Xu Chen was so shocked that he almost stumbled to the ground, but after he regained his balance, he continued to move forward, insisting on saving the little girl.

"Alright, you'll be losing money, right?" Hearing that Xu Chen wanted to help the little girl pay, the big man put down his stick.

"She's been stealing food from me for the past few years, it's two hundred Eastern Xuan dollars a year. No matter what, she should have at least three or four years worth of Dongxuan coins."

"If you can't bring out eight hundred yuan, I'll beat this thief to death right now to prevent him from harming others when he grows up!" The burly man proclaimed himself moral as he spoke.

"Young man, don't be rash. Eight hundred Eastern Xuan Coins is not a small sum."

"Yeah, none of you know each other." The surrounding spectators all wanted to dissuade Xu Chen. This thief was a stranger that was unworthy of sympathy.

However, Xu Chen completely ignored the kind intentions of the people around him and directly took out eight hundred Eastern Xuan Coins from his storage ring.

"Here are eight hundred Eastern Xuan Coins, quickly release her."

"Hmph, let's just forget about it. This time I didn't beat this kid to death. I'll consider her lucky. If there's a next time, I'll definitely beat her to death!" The burly man took Xu Chen's Eastern Xuan Coin, threw the girl on the ground, and left.

The burly man originally wanted to teach Xu Chen a lesson, but when he saw the spatial ring on Xu Chen's finger, he knew that Xu Chen was not an ordinary person. Thus, he gave up on the idea of teaching him a lesson.

"Sigh, youngsters these days are really impulsive." After the burly man left, the surrounding people discussed for a while before dispersing.

At the same time, Xu Chen squatted down and took out a thick coat from his storage ring, wrapping the little girl up.

The little girl was crying from the pain.

Xu Chen gently wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and said, "With big brother here, no one will bully you. Don't cry, okay?"

As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, the little girl suddenly stopped crying, as if she had heard Xu Chen's words.

However, she looked like she was about to vomit. She revealed a pained expression, and her weak body also began to twitch.

Suddenly, with a thump, her eyes stared straight at the sky. She vomited blood as she drank, causing blood to gush out, staining her face red.

Although no pain could be seen on this dirty little face, it was enough to make one's heart ache.

Xu Chen was skilled in medicine, and when he saw the girl's condition, he knew that the burly man had injured her internal organs.

If he couldn't cure this girl soon, she would die soon!

If Xu Chen had the divine power right now, he would be able to immediately heal her wounds. However, he didn't.

In a situation like the girl's, if her internal organs were injured, it would definitely be a huge injury. Otherwise, she wouldn't be vomiting so much blood.

"This world really deserves to die!" Xu Chen clenched his fists. He knew that ordinary pills wouldn't have any effect on him.

Perhaps the Dao Pattern Pills were the most effective. The two Dao Pattern Pills in Xu Chen's storage ring could be personally refined by Xue Sheng and could heal any injuries he suffered!

However, Xu Chen hesitated, thinking that if he took one out, he might die faster.

However, Xu Chen only hesitated for a moment before he laughed at himself.

"Your life has only just begun. My life is almost at its end. What is there for me to hesitate about?"

As he thought of this, Xu Chen did not hesitate any longer. He took out the Dao Pattern Pill and fed it to this unknown little girl.
