Meanwhile, at the west of Endless Continent, a mountain that was among a vast hundred thousand mountains had its peak penetrated through the clouds. On the summit sat an old man who was sitting cross-legged.
This old man was wearing green clothing. If Su Yu were there, his face would definitely turn pale in fright. This was because this old man in green clothing looked identical to the old beggar he had met.
Both of his eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady. Though everything looked extremely normal, under careful observation, one could clearly see that at this moment, the air surrounding the old man was actually distorting at an extremely slow pace. In the next second, a crack suddenly appeared in the air near him, and a figure stepped out from within it.
It was that old beggar!
After he had come out, the eyes of the old man in green clothing abruptly opened.
Bzzz!
A stream of golden light suddenly emerged from within the eyes of the old man in green clothing'. An extremely difficult to describe charm began to emanate from the body of the old man in green clothing.
Following that, the old man in green clothing and the old beggar looked at each other with a smile. In the next second, the old beggar immediately turned into a stream of light and entered into the body of the old man in green clothing.
Boom!
After the old beggar had turned into a stream of light and entered the body of the old man in green clothing, a terrifying aura was emitted from the body, and at this moment, the air around the body experienced what seemed to be a crumbling phenomenon!
The old man in green clothing stood up with both hands behind his back and stared at the horizon of the endless, vast mountains.
”The appearance of two moons and the alignment of nine stars. This kind of phenomenon had never appeared in the Endless Continent. Also, when my doppelganger toured around the continent, unexpectedly, he had found someone who had the limitless sea of qi. The last time when a person with the limitless sea of qi had appeared was a thousand years ago. When master was approaching his end, he said that if the person with the limitless sea of qi has once again appeared in the Endless Continent, it would mean that the chaos from a thousand years ago would soon descend. Currently, that young man and I are linked, so would this be a fortune or a disaster to me?” The old man in green clothing continued to stare at the endless hundred thousand of mountains. His gaze began to turn more profound.
”Those few old fellows have yet to make any movement……”
Su Yu did not feel surprised regarding the old beggar's departure.
This was because he knew that with how mysterious the old beggar was, he would sooner or later leave. However, what made him grateful to the old beggar was that, in the end, the old beggar had guided him on the path of cultivation. He also left some of his understanding about cultivation to him. With that, he would be able to take fewer detours during his future cultivation.
”Your grace, if there's a day, I, Su Yu, will definitely return it a hundred times!” Deep down, Su Yu secretly made up his mind.
The wind stopped, and so did the rain. The old beggar had already left, so he naturally should depart by himself. However, seeing that the sky was already dark and after a little pondering, he decided to stay for a night at the ruined temple.
The next morning, Su Ku exited the ruined temple and directly journeyed on the official road.
As he didn't know where he was, he could only go along the official road and slowly walk forward.
Approximately after half a day's journey, a city moat finally appeared within Su Yu's field of vision.
Seeing that, a smile appeared on Su Yu's face.
He had unknowingly come to this world for nearly half a month, and he finally arrived at a place with even more people.
After walking nearer to the city moat, Su Yu at that moment could feel an unusual grandeur from the huge city. Hanging above the city gate were 3 big words ”Qing Yang City” in beautiful calligraphy.
There seemed to be an endless stream of people entering and exiting the city. Though there were soldiers guarding the entrance of the city, they did not do a one by one inspection on everyone. Hence, just like this, Su Yu very easily entered Qing Yang City.
When Su Yu first stepped foot into Qing Yang City, he could already feel how bustling it was. Qing Yang City's main road was very wide, no less than 50 to 60 meters. On the road, people were hurrying to and fro, along with an incessant stream of horses and carriages.
Along the road, there were shops, casinos, restaurants, taverns, brothels, entertainment halls, and others that were competing with one other. Also, there were many people constantly going in and out, very bustling.
Seeing the scene before him, Su Yu was rather shocked deep down. The arrangement of the scene before him was quite similar to the past in his previous world. The current Su Yu felt like he had time traveled into his previous country's past.
”rumble……”
At this time, Su Yu's stomach began issuing out a series of sounds.
Su Yu gave a bitter smile while rubbing his stomach. Ever since yesterday, after leaving the Little Leaf Village till now, he had not eaten any food. The current him was only an ordinary person, so in the end, he had to rely on both refined and coa.r.s.e grain and food crops to sustain his life.
However, at this time, Su Yu found a very embarra.s.sing question.
That was, he didn't have any money on him.
The currency that was being used in this world was similar to that of the past of his country in his previous world. Gold, silver, and copper coins were used as currency.
That time at the Little Leaf Village, due to the situation being urgent and Ji Da Chun and his family being poor, hence, he naturally wouldn't have any money on him.
Looking at the stall selling freshly steamed stuffed buns where the fragrance of the meat overflowed to all four directions, Su Yu once again rubbed his stomach then shook his head and gave a bitter smile. A penny was really able to beat a good person!
Currently, what was of utmost priority was to quickly make some money to spend, or else before he could realize his grand prospect, he would have starved to death.
So, how to make some money?
Steal, rob, kidnap, swindle?
Su Yu shook his head. When he was in his previous world, he wasn't someone that was a model of good moral conduct, but he was still someone from the 21st century with 3 good qualities. Hence, he would naturally not do those kind of things.
Just when Su Yu was at his wits' end, he suddenly spotted a small stall which was set up by a middle-aged scholar at a corner of the street. There were some calligraphy and painting on display, so it looked like he was going to sell them.
