Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: Chapter 371 News of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly_1 (2/2)

The older of the two maidservants answered.

The girl of about twelve just timidly glanced at Qin Niu before quickly lowering her head again.

In her eyes, one could see the longing for food.

“Wan Yan, let’s do this. We’ll go to the noodle shop over there, get something to eat, and buy a bowl of noodles for each of the three of them.”

“I’ll follow my husband’s lead in everything.”

Wang Wanyan said with a smile.

As they approached the noodle shop by carriage, the waiter beamed from afar, bending over to welcome them.

Anyone who drove such a luxurious carriage was either rich or noble.

For them to dine at their noodle shop was certainly a cause for celebration, as esteemed guests were a true highlight.

“Young Master, please come inside!”

The waiter readily took the horse’s reins.

“There are three maidservants recently bought inside the carriage, keep an eye on them for me.”

Qin Niu casually tossed a piece of silver over.

“Thank you for the generous reward, Young Master! Rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the carriage and the people for you!”

The waiter, overjoyed by the silver piece, couldn’t stop grinning.

Serving esteemed guests was always good, for even a trivial tip amounted to a half month’s wages.

“Go and bring three bowls of noodles to the carriage for them to eat! Make sure the portions are generous, add two eggs per person.”

Qin Niu understood their physical condition all too well.

All of them were thin, suffering from long-term malnutrition. Now that he had bought them, he naturally had to feed them nutritious food so they could recover sooner.

Only with good health would they have the strength to do housework and serve his large family.

“My, Young Master is really kind-hearted! Being your servant is truly a great fortune! I’ll go and take care of it immediately.”

The waiter tied up the horse and quickly ran into the hall.

Qin Niu then turned to the older maid in the carriage, “Yu Qiu, when the noodles are delivered, you feed the lying one and take good care of her.”

“Understood!”

Yu Qiu nodded respectfully in response.

She was seventeen, a year older than Qin Niu. Had she not been sold into servitude, she probably would’ve been married by now.

Being older, her mind was clearly much more mature.

She knew how to please her master.

Qin Niu didn’t concern himself further with the three maidservants, and, taking Wang Wanyan, entered the noodle shop. The couple ordered beef noodles, with Qin Niu requesting extra beef be added for her, encouraging her to eat more.

While eating their noodles, they overheard someone at the next table discussing that the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect’s Water and Land Dharma Assembly, which occurred once every ten years, was to be held in six months. At that time, all subjects within the territory of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, regardless of identity, gender, age, or socio-economic status, were allowed to attend the Assembly and seek the chance for immortality.”

This was an extremely uplifting piece of news.

Prior to this, Qin Niu had been but a commoner struggling even for subsistence, never paying attention to such news.

In the countryside where he was from, information was hard to come by, and it was difficult to hear about such significant events.

By the time he would hear of it, the Water and Land Dharma Assembly would likely have already taken place.

After having their noodles, he and Wang Wanyan left the noodle shop.

“Wan Yan, did you hear what was said just now? The diners at the next table mentioned that the Water and Land Dharma Assembly of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect will be held in half a year. Let’s both work hard at our cultivation, aiming to seize the chance for immortality. As long as one of us gains admission into the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, there’s the opportunity to bring the other along for immortal cultivation,” Qin Niu said to her.

“I’m currently at the Fivefold Innate Realm, not even having reached Sixfold. It’s impossible to cultivate to such heights in half a year. Cai Xian’s cultivation level is even weaker than mine. Our family’s hopes can only rest on you.”

For her, the prospect of attaining such an immortal fate was too daring to even contemplate.
