"Are you tired?" Yun Lintian turned to ask Ning Yue, who was now dressed in a clean white robe and had her hair neatly tied, revealing her exquisite face.
"I'm good." Ning Yue replied softly.
It had been a week since they left the Profound Pill Sect. During this period, Ning Yue had fully learned how to speak fluently. If one listened to her right now, one wouldn't know she used to be mute.
Currently, the two of them were walking on the roadside, heading toward Yellow Leaf Town. At first, Cai Yuan wanted to send him to the Chu Country Capital City by himself, but Yun Lintian rejected him because he wanted to experience this new world.
Along the way, both of them encountered many robberies. People would simply kill each other for a few Divine Stones or without reason. This gave Yun Lintian a true experience of the cruel world he used to think of.
Back in the Azure World, people surely killed each other for no reason, but Yun Lintian always managed to avoid them. However, it was really difficult to avoid it here.
Fortunately, all the enemies he met during this period were not powerful. The strongest one was only at the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, like Cai Yuan.
After walking for a while, Yun Lintian suddenly saw a small creek in the distance, and there were a few people resting nearby.
"Let's take a rest over there." Yun Lintian said.
Ning Yue looked at the group of people in the distance cautiously and followed Yun Lintian closely behind.
Although she had experienced a lot of unexpected events during this period, she couldn't bring herself to get used to it.
"Look. These two are too clean, aren't they?" A thin man with coarse leather armor said with a chuckle while looking at Yun Lintian and Ning Yue walking over.
Sitting beside him, a sturdy man with a long scar on his cheek looked at Yun Lintian deeply and said. "He's strong. You better don't mess with him."
"Really?" The thin man had a skeptical look.
"Not ordinary strong, but he could certainly wipe us out by himself." A woman in a red robe who calmly grilled a fish said calmly.
The thin man was finally convinced upon hearing this. In the past, they always relied on her intuition to survive, and she naturally won't miss this time.
Yun Lintian walked over and cupped his fists. "Greetings, brothers, and sisters. Can I take a rest here?"
The woman in red turned to look at him and said with a smile. "Of course. We didn't own this place."
Yun Lintian laughed slightly and found a suitable space by the creek to settle down. He took a table and chairs out while Ning Yue tacitly put a set of tea and delicacies on the table.
During this period, Ning Yue basically acted like Yun Lintian's little maid. She was the one who prepared a meal and provided him inconvenience.
Yun Lintian had also given her a good storage ring and put a lot of resources in it for her to use. Under Yun Lintian's guidance, Ning Yue had already reached the first level of the Spirit Profound Realm.
The scent of food and tea immediately attracted the trio, making them subconsciously look at Yun Lintian.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian smiled and said sincerely. "How about I invite everyone to a meal?"
The thin man swallowed as his gaze fixated on the braised pork dish. He glanced at the red-robed woman and the sturdy man as if he was telling them to accept the invitation.
The red-robed woman and the sturdy man glanced at each other briefly before the woman said. "Then we won't be polite."
"Please." Yun Lintian laughed gently and took out another three chairs.
Ning Yue subconsciously moved her chair closer to Yun Lintian and looked at the trio vigilantly.
Yun Lintian patted her shoulder and said. "No need to be nervous. They are not bad people."
"Hehe. It seems your maid is quite timid, little brother." The red-robed woman laughed slightly and sat beside Ning Yue while the sturdy man and the thin man sat on Yun Lintian's left side.
Yun Lintian took out a jar of wine and poured it for everyone. "Please."
With that, he bottomed the cup in one go.
The trio glanced at each other briefly before bottoming the wine in one gulp. Since they knew that Yun Lintian was stronger than them, they didn't think he would poison them.
"What a good wine!" The thin man exclaimed and unceremoniously filled the cup himself.
"My name is Liu Yan. This big man here is Xun Ping and this bad-mannered guy is Gui Yang. We are wandering practitioners." The red-robed woman, Liu Yan, said.
Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said. "My name is Lin Tian, and she is Lin Yue. We are disciples of the Profound Pill Sect."
Before leaving, Yun Lintian discussed Cai Yuan about his new identity. Cai Yuan suggested taking a disciple's identity as it was convenient for him to travel. Moreover, it would be easier for Cai Yuan to recommend Yun Lintian to President Zhi.
"Profound Pill Sect?" Liu Yan was surprised. A trace of respect appeared in the depth of her eyes as she said. "May I know you are an alchemist?"
Yun Lintian nodded gently. "Although I'm not talented, concocting a few Saint-rank pills is not a problem."
He could see that the three of them were at the Saint Profound Realm and guess why Liu Yan asked him this question.
It was as Yun Lintian expected. The eyes of the three lit up. Obviously, they were excited to hear the answer.
Xun Ping and Gui Yang looked at Liu Yan attentively as if they were urging her to speak. However, Liu Yan was too embarrassed to say anything.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian took the initiative to speak. "I can see the three of you have already reached the peak of the Saint Profound Realm. You only need a little push to break through."
"How about this?" Yun Lintian paused briefly. "Since fate brought us here. Why don't I concoct a set of pills for everyone?"
"This…" Liu Yan was shocked. She hurriedly said. "This is inappropriate. We don't have anything to give Senior Lin."
After knowing Yun Lintian was an alchemist, Liu Yan immediately changed how she called him.
"What's inappropriate? You can think of it as I'm using a few pills to make friends with all of you." Yun Lintian chuckled.
