Xu Ran is still an ordinary person, so of course this matter cannot be brought along with Xu Ran.
Since they were already in the town, there was no point in maintaining an illusion that any cultivator could see through, so Lin Qingyao used her true appearance.
She plans to return to school and continue to "lose weight" bit by bit, eventually restoring her appearance in front of everyone. After all, her cultivation is not high yet, and the spiritual power consumed by maintaining the illusion every day is also a bit strenuous for her.
Lin Qingyao drove her silver-white BMW and stepped on the accelerator, rushing out of Liu Hutong.
"It's time to renovate this place in Liu Hutong." Lin Qingyao said, looking at the abandoned houses on both sides of Liu Hutong. Since she now owns the entire Liu Hutong, she thought that outside Liu Hutong, adding a wall would make the whole Liu Hutong into one entity.
Soon, Lin Qingyao arrived at Jinxiu District.
Jinxiu District is in the old city district, and the atmosphere inside is similar to Liu Hutong. The only difference is that occasionally someone will come and go here.
Lin Qingyao stood on a shaded road in Jinxiu District, watching the people coming and going around her, not knowing where to go or what to do. Gu Lao had only told her that the Fang Market was in Jinxiu District, but hadn't given her clear directions on where it was located.
She remembered that Gu Lao had told her to find a fellow Taoist and ask him, but she stood here and found that the people walking on the road were coming and going, without any fluctuations in their spiritual energy, they were all ordinary people.
"Could it be that I've come to the wrong place?"
Lin Qingyao was born with a delicate and beautiful appearance. She stood by the road, slightly furrowing her eyebrows, causing many passersby to involuntarily turn their heads to look at her.
This woman is truly beautiful, as if she had walked out of a painting.
Lin Qingyao's carriage had long been stopped outside the Jinxiu District, and she didn't have a place to stay. She wanted to find a place to sit for a while, but was afraid of missing the passing monks, so she could only stand there and wait.
It was already noon when I went out.
In the autumn, even when it was high noon, the weather wasn't hot at all. Lin Qingyao wore light and thin clothes today, after waiting for two hours, when the sun slightly set, Lin Qingyao felt a hint of coolness.
She slightly manipulated her spiritual power and her body warmed up a lot.
She has a fire attribute spiritual root, and doing such things is simply effortless.
The sky was slowly falling, and Lin Qingyao was still standing on the road that had to be taken to enter the Jinxiu District.
The autumn wind was strong outside, and the leaves rustled loudly in the trees as the wind blew. Lin Qingyao didn't find this sound annoying at all; on the contrary, she felt that there was a certain mysterious feeling hidden within it.
She was just about to calm down and feel it, when a figure flashed past her front, bringing up the wind that blew Lin Qingyao's clothes. The speed was something that ordinary people could never reach no matter what.
Lin Qingyao quickly regained her composure and wanted to chase after him, but was also afraid that if she did, the cultivator would misunderstand her intentions. After all, in the Cultivation Realm, people's guard against each other had to be much stronger.
Who knew that just as Lin Qingyao was hesitating, her vision blurred for a moment, and when she looked clearly again, someone was already standing in front of her.
This is a young man of about twenty-three or four years old, with a slightly rounded face, born very clean and elegant, but with a hint of joy in his elegance.
At this moment, he was smiling at Lin Qingyao.
Lin Qingyao reacted, this person should be the monk who just passed by her side. She had wanted to strike up a conversation with him, but she remembered that she hadn't taken any action yet. What was he doing now?
The young man in front of her just smiled and looked at Lin Qingyao, not saying a word. His originally bright eyes were curved into crescent shapes by his smile, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Despite this, Lin Qingyao could still feel the person's gaze on her, scanning her up and down without stopping.
If it weren't for this person's smile being too innocent, if it weren't for this person's gaze, although rude, but not particularly impolite, Lin Qingyao would have been annoyed long ago and given this person who suddenly ran out to stare at her a slap.
Of course, Lin Qingyao would not dare to do so. This person's cultivation, if she didn't sense it wrong, was at least at the 11th layer of Qi Refining. She was only at the 6th layer, and for someone at the 11th layer, she was simply a small shrimp!
A person who knows the current situation is a hero, she doesn't have the guts to provoke a cultivator who is more powerful than herself.
After a long while, the young man finally stopped laughing, but his lips still curled up slightly.
He came with a bright smile and asked, "Junior sister, junior sister, where are you from?" His voice was warm and cheerful, making people who heard it feel uplifted.
Lin Qingyao's eyebrows jumped, what kind of person is this male cultivator? He had just met her and first smiled foolishly at himself, then seemed to be familiar with her.
Lin Qingyao replied casually, "I came from home, this senior brother... you..." She thought the man was strange, but didn't want to offend him either. Besides, she had already waited for an afternoon, if she still couldn't find Fang Shi, it would be a waste of time.
This man must know where the Bao Shi is, after all, in the Xiu Zhen world, it's not common for a rookie to become someone like him, everyone should know where the Bao Shi is.
"Ah, I'm Ji, just call me Brother Ji." Ji Qing said with a big smile on his face.
"By the way, junior sister, you appeared here, where are you going?" Ji Qing asked seemingly unintentionally.
Before Lin Qingyao could answer, Ku Jiqing had already asked and answered himself, his face filled with excitement as he looked at Lin Qingyao: "Are you going to Fangshi?"
Lin Qingyao nodded without thinking.
Ji Qing's face lit up with a smile once again, his eyes narrowing into two curved crescent moons. Such a smile would be considered elegant and captivating on a woman, but even on Ji Qing's face, it was still endearing and delightful to behold.
"Sister, let's go, I'm also going to the market, we can walk together!" Ji Qing said with a smile, but his originally pure smile now seemed like that of a thieving cat in Lin Qingyao's eyes, looking somewhat sly.
A strange premonition rose in Lin Qingyao's heart - this senior brother wouldn't be a bad person, would he? Why did she feel like she had been deceived?
Lin Qingyao was secretly on guard in her heart, but she still walked with Ji Qing to the market. She felt a little excited when she thought of the market, where not only could she buy what she wanted, but also see other cultivators.
Although she had met a few cultivators sporadically, apart from Gu Lao, none of them were able to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with her. She always felt like an outsider in the cultivation world, whether it was true friends or fake ones, she wanted to get to know some people in the cultivation world.
Practice is sometimes not just about locking yourself in a room and working on it alone, but also requires communication with others.
To say the least, a person walking on the path of cultivation is indeed somewhat bewildered. For ordinary people, she has already become an outcast, and yet she doesn't know anyone who belongs to her own world. In short, she has become someone who drifts outside two worlds.
Cultivation: if you want to make progress, relying solely on your own cultivation is not enough. Otherwise, everyone would just find a place with good feng shui and close themselves off for meditation, why bother coming out to interact?
Lin Qingyao was thinking of going to the town, and at this moment, Ji Qing's heart was also thinking about this matter.
He felt more and more happy in his heart, it was really lucky to go out today! That old scoundrel didn't even let himself come out!
Look, he came out himself and actually met a beautiful junior sister. This junior sister is not only beautiful but also kind-hearted, and she can even take him to the town together! Otherwise, he would still be searching around here and wouldn't be able to find the town anyway.
Ji Qing's heart couldn't help but complain again, nowadays cultivators are like rats hiding underground, even in a bustling market, they all hide meticulously, making it impossible to find them!
Luckily, luckily, today I'm having good luck...
If Lin Qingyao knew what Ji Qing was thinking, she would probably be so angry that she would spit out a mouthful of old blood! It turned out that this guy had been harboring thoughts of following her to the market, but it wasn't about being tempted by her beauty or plotting to harm her for money, but rather he wanted to follow her to the market!
Does he think so? Lin Qingyao still thinks so! Who knows where that legendary street is!
Lin Qingyao thought that there weren't many newcomers in the Cultivation Realm, and even fewer people who didn't know about Fangshi City like her. But... it just so happened that she had forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, and ended up running into one!
Of course, Lin Qingyao still didn't know. She was on guard against Ji Qing, afraid he would do her harm, while following him at the same time.
Ji Qing was following Lin Qingyao at this moment...
I suppose everyone has had this experience, two people who clearly don't know the way but always think the other is going in the right direction and subconsciously follow them. Lin Qingyao and Ji Qing are exactly in this situation now.
The consequence was very obvious, that these two Xiu Zhen realm cultivators had actually become lost just like ordinary people, and were getting further and further away.
Jinxiu District is very large, Lin Qingyao and Ji Qing walked for more than half a time, from one end to the other.
After all, Lin Qingyao wasn't stupid enough to be like Ji Qing, using the methods of the Xiu Zhen Realm in a place where ordinary people were present, and quickly flew away.
Lin Qingyao is not foolish. Although the Xiu Zhen realm has declined, it's likely that there are still many cultivators within it who haven't gone anywhere. So why have ordinary people never known about the existence of such a group?
Those monks won't always stay in the deep mountains to cultivate, they come into the secular world, and some things can be done with just a small spell...
But in fact, in the secular world, no one knows anything about the cultivation world, which means that in the secular world, no one uses magic.
