Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: The Little Town on the Ice Plain (2/2)

This city could be said to have been built upon snow and ice; as soon as one entered through the city gates, they would see a multitude of ice sculptures standing erect there.

Chen Yu had no such interest in admiring the ice sculptures, and he immediately used the system overlay to cover the entire city.

“You all go and look around, I have some things to take care of!”

After dropping this line, he went straight to a shop in the eastern part of the city.

The architecture of this place was slightly out of place, holding a certain Taoist charm.

As soon as Chen Yu walked in, a series of jingling wind chime sounds rang from the side.

The shopkeeper nonchalantly reclined on a lounge chair.

“All items are marked with a price, just leave the money on the table.”

This laissez-faire approach to business was indeed an eye-opener.

Chen Yu chuckled lightly and directly walked over to the counter, pulling over a chair to sit down.

“As a Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect branch, shouldn’t you be out greeting the Grandmasters?”

The shopkeeper took the Taoist scripture off his face and hurriedly put on his glasses. Continue your journey with Novgo

“Oh dear, Sect Leader, what brings you to a place like this?”

Chen Yu chuckled again and pulled out a large pile of tokens from his person.

“What’s the matter? Can’t I come to such a place?”

Xu Chenguang laughed awkwardly. In this freezing cold place, besides people like him who voluntarily came here, nobody else would.

As he saw the large pile of tokens on the table, his smile immediately vanished from his face.

“Where did you get so many tokens? And they are the core tokens of the major families.”

Chen Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air, “Could you help me tidy these up and see if you can replicate them?”

Xu Chenguang showed a troubled expression. The tokens of the major families were made in unique ways and with rare materials; even if one had a sample, they could not be replicated.

The token of the Xuanqing Sect might look like an ordinary wooden plaque, but the material used was the unique thousand-year-old pine and cypress found only on the Xuanqing Sect’s mountain.

“Sect Leader, tidying them up is not an issue, but I’m afraid replication is out of the question.”

Chen Yu didn’t say much more and got up to walk to the nearby shelves.

“It seems life isn’t easy for you here, with not even a disciple at hand to help you out.”

Xu Chenguang sighed helplessly, “I’m only here to establish a branch for the Xuanqing Sect. The thought of taking in disciples is too much to hope for, given the circumstances!”

When Chen Yu had entered the city, he had already ascertained the situation within.

The largest building in the city was a church, but the deeds performed inside were of the unsavory sort.

At that moment, a young girl around ten years old hurried into the shop.

“Mr. Xu, could you help me prepare a dose of medicine? My mother is unwell again!”

Xu Chenguang didn’t ask for details and directly picked up an oilcloth from the nearby shelf, skillfully making up a dose of medicine.

“Little Qin, when you go back, you must tell your mother to stop eating what the church gives out! Otherwise, even the medicine from here will be of no use!”

Tears filled Little Qin’s eyes as she lowered her head, her face expressing grievance, and her frail body began to tremble uncontrollably.

“I’ve said it many times already, but my mother just won’t listen. The aunt from our neighbor’s home died after consuming that stuff. They insist on saying that it’s because she touched the heavens, and that God took her to paradise to enjoy bliss.”
