1457 Ye Xiao the Pauper (1/2)

”How weird!”

Ye Xiao rubbed his head and looked at the red flowers and green grass under his feet. He murmured and said, ”What is this place?

”Coming and going… Why do I feel like I am in a dream?”

Ye Xiao's eyes were full of confusion. He said, ”Ascending to the Human Realm Upon Heavens… All the days I have been through earlier… It just feels like dreaming… I don't feel right about this. Why does it feel so weird?”

The poor Xiao Monarch still thought that this was the normal ascending process. He totally had no idea how he was being played and fooled by somebody else.

All in all, since he was here, he should as well stay and made the best of it. Now he actually felt the same as he was in the Qing-Yun Realm.

The spiritual qi in the air was over ten times denser and purer than the Qing-Yun Realm, but that was all. He didn't feel any different about the gravity force anymore. He didn't feel different about anything at all.

He felt so light as if he could float up by thinking of it. It was special.

Since he left that desolate area and got through the energy screen, his power had become twice as in that area!

It truly confused Ye Xiao. He just couldn't think it through…

'Does that mysterious area enhance my cultivation power? Did it double my power back there?'

Within four months, he became twice as powerful as he used to be. That area was not just a good place for cultivation… It was the perfect place for cultivation!

Ye Xiao absolutely had no idea. The mysterious area he just got out from was a real place in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, but nobody had ever entered that place for a long time.

It was indeed a desolate area, a land that was abandoned by heavens!

That area used to be a world beyond the heavens, in which the gods fought their war in the ancient era. The war of gods ruined that world, so after the war, some other great cultivators led the residents out to a new area, which was exactly the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Countless years passed, that ruined area was still a desolate land, but the Human Realm Upon Heavens had been well developed.

The abandoned land had been existing in the myth… Some powerful cultivators knew that there was a desolate area, but nobody had truly entered that place.

Nobody knew where it was.

Ye Xiao was so lucky to have such an experience, but he actually didn't realize it yet.

As he walked down the cliff, he realized there was a small town on the bottom. He was happy that he finally got to see some people, so he walked even faster, and then casually paced into the small town.

Ye Xiao had been living far from people for over a hundred days. At the moment, he finally saw people crowding in the streets, wandering with birds, shopping in the market, and selling by the roadside again. He saw men and women, people with dogs or cats, boys and girls hand in hand, cultivators with swords or sabers walking by. He just felt so familiar with it!

Everything was just like in the Qing-Yun Realm.

However, the cultivators he met in this small town who were carrying their swords or sabers had some kind of aura that was quite fierce. It made Ye Xiao feel that every single cultivator in this world was incredibly powerful… In the sky, there were always some clouds in seven different colors. The spiritual qi was so dense in the air that nowhere in the Qing-Yun Realm could reach…

'That is all. Nothing else changes too much.'

'Wait!'

It seemed he had realized something new, which was a huge difference from the lower realm.

A man was buying some fruits in the market. The fruits he bought were wrapped by a thin layer of fog, making the fruits look pink through the white. It made Ye Xiao feel hungry.

Each of that fruit had a box as its package.

The package didn't surprise Ye Xiao that much though. When he was in the Land of Han-Yang, Boss Wan, Wan Zhenghao used to teach him the three golden rules in market business, brand, package, and appearance. The last two were the most important in the fruits business.

What caught Ye Xiao's eyes was the money they used in the business.

The customer took out a jade coin which shined in white lights from his pocket, and the shopkeeper took it over with a big smile and then took out a lot of yellow jade coins as the change.

Apparently, the white jade coin was much more valuable than the yellow one. Perhaps, one white jade coin was equal to one hundred yellow jade coins, or even more. Ye Xiao wasn't sure about it yet, but the white jade coin must be a large-denomination.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

The customer left, and the shopkeeper went on with his small business.

Ye Xiao was stunned.

He reached into his pocket and held the gold in his hand, gritting his teeth.

Apparently, gold, the most dependable money in the Land of Han-Yang and the Qing-Yun Realm was no longer that useful.

Having some gold wasn't a problem. The real problem was that he did not have any of that jade coin.

He was such a capable man, but no one lived without money. Was the famous Xiao Monarch going to become a robber?

Well, there was a further question in his head. What could he get even if he truly became a robber? He couldn't rob those who had the white jade coins, because he must be too weak to do that. Perhaps, he could rob some yellow jade coin from the people in lower positions, but considering how cheap the yellow jade coin was, how many did he have to rob?

Ye Xiao was hesitating, and he was lost in thoughts. Suddenly, there was a disturbance somewhere in front of him. A slim man who looked like a thief was running so fast. This man was so quick that it took him only the time of a blink to rush out a long distance. Somebody was shouting behind his back. ”Get him! Catch him! That bastard stole from me…”

Before he finished talking…

A shopkeeper of a steam buns shop stepped out immediately and stopped that thief. The shopkeeper was also unbelievably fast. He was even faster than the thief. On the other side, a woman who was selling fruits nearby flew up to the sky and struck out a long towel. The towel flew out like a white cloud, which looked amazing. An old woman making such an amazing strike, that just didn't seem to make sense…

These two were not all. Over ten of the people who were selling things in this market moved together!

Within seconds, that slim man had been punched down on the floor by those warmhearted shopkeepers. As he fell, a special chain which appeared just like a snake automatically crawled up to the man's body and tied him up.

With some cracking sounds, the chain had locked the man's bones.

After a while, a general wearing a golden armor arrived from the sky, leading a group of soldiers. He thanked the people who helped and then got the thief away.

Things were returned to the man who was stolen from, and he kept showing his gratitude to the general. ”I was too careless. Otherwise, this rat would never be able to steal anything from me.”

The others all laughed when they heard the man's embarrassing explanation. They didn't feel annoyed at all.

After that, everybody was back to where they ought to be, taking care of their own businesses. Those who sold fish still sold it, and those who sold food still sold their food…

Somebody sold and somebody bought… The market was busy.

The old ladies who were buying things did not even pay more attention to what just happened.
