The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 416 Entering the Cultivation World 7

Just as the two took a step forward, Xiao Shitou suddenly stopped, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

He calmly cast the spell again to conceal the two people's auras even more tightly.

Chao Yao felt the danger at that moment, but it suddenly disappeared.

She saw that Xiao Shitou was holding her hand tighter, and looked at Xiao Shitou in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Little Stone immediately smiled innocently and said, "Sister, I'm just a little tired."

Thinking that the child might have been wandering for a long time before, Chao Yao touched his head lovingly and said, "Then let's take a rest for a while."

"No need, sister. Let's get out of here first. It's foggy everywhere and I'm scared."

"Okay, I'll listen to you then."

Xiao Shitou held Chaoyao's hand and walked carefully.

He seemed to have a special sense of the environment here and was always able to cleverly avoid some seemingly dangerous places.

As they walked, they came to a three-way intersection. Xiao Shitou closed his eyes, felt for a while, and then pulled Chaoyao to the rightmost road.

"You seem to be more sensitive here."

Chaoyao stood at the intersection, looking at the small stone with scrutiny.

"Sister...I...I don't know..."

Little Stone looked confused.

“I feel that as long as I keep moving forward like this, I will get out.”

Monks are extremely sensitive to danger, but Chao Yao did not feel any danger from the little stone. Instead, he felt inexplicably at ease.

"Okay, I believe a brat like you can't do anything to me. Lead the way, and see what we can gain in this misty abyss. It's best to just pick some spiritual plants and leave, I don't want to be caught by Su Junze again."

"Sister, why are you so afraid of being found by him?"

Little Stone asked again.

"Alas! I, your sister, have a miserable life! Probably because God wanted to punish me for being too lazy, the sect forced me to become his Taoist partner. I didn't want to become his Taoist partner, so I said I would practice for twenty years first. Who knew that Su Junze was afraid that I would run away, so he followed me everywhere."

When Xiao Shitou heard that someone was forcing Chao Yao to get married, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

I wish I could eat this man alive.

As if this was not enough to vent my anger, it would be best if he were reduced to ashes.

Perhaps it was because the emotions fluctuated too much, Chao Yao instantly felt Fu Feng's jealousy.

It looked exactly the same as the previous world.

Well, there is a high probability that this is my husband, but he is still young in this life.

But it doesn't matter. The life of a monk is long, so it's no problem for me to wait for him for ten or eight years.

Looking at Xiao Shitou's current age, he is about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Okay, don't be angry. I'm working hard now. Maybe one day I'll be stronger than them, and then I can just run away. Anyway, I have no relatives or friends in this world, so they can't threaten me."

Listening to Chaoyao's topic, Xiao Shitou felt inexplicably distressed.

"Sister, wait until I grow up, I will definitely protect you!"

Xiao Shitou said this with a firm look on his face, which made Chao Yao chuckle.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to protect me. Well, let's go and see if there's anything we can collect here. If there is, just pick some."

Chao Yao continued to follow Xiao Shitou. The fog around them became thicker and thicker, as if casting a mysterious veil over the entire world.

Not long after walking, a patch of grass emitting a strange light suddenly appeared in front of us.

The grass appears and disappears in the hazy mist, like a dream.

Little Shitou's originally tense face suddenly lit up with surprise, his eyes widened with disbelief and excitement.

His steps suddenly stopped, as if he was under a spell. He stared straight at the grass, his mouth slightly open, breathing rapidly.

"Sister, look!"

While shouting, Xiao Shitou stretched out one hand and pointed at the grass with trembling fingers. With the other hand, he tightly grasped the corner of Chao Yao's clothes, as if he was afraid that she would not be able to see this magical sight.

When Chao Yao got closer, he saw a spiritual plant growing in the grass that looked like an orchid, but with colorful petals, and there were flashes of fluorescence on the leaves.

The surrounding mist looks like a dream under the light of the spiritual plants.

"Sister, this seems to be the 'Spiritual Light Fantasy Orchid'. It is said that taking it can allow people to enter a wonderful ethereal state during cultivation, greatly improving the efficiency of cultivation."

"You know him too?"

Little Stone patted his chest and said, "There is nothing in the Misty Illusion Abyss that I don't recognize. Sister, you can take whatever you want and put it directly in your storage bag."

"alright."

Chao Yao picked them up carefully and continued to follow Xiao Shitou.

At this moment, the mist around them seemed to have life, gently brushing across their cheeks.

The two continued walking forward and found a small tree with scarlet fruits. The fruits were round and plump, exuding an enticing aroma.

The surrounding trees were dim in the mist, like silent guardians.

Little Stone's eyes lit up and he almost jumped up with excitement. His cheeks turned red with excitement.

He quickly ran towards the small tree, staring at the fruits without blinking, and kept muttering: "Sister, this might be the 'Red Flame Spiritual Fruit'. Eating it can enhance the spiritual power in the body and temper the meridians."

Chao Yao picked a few fruits with joy.

If she can plant more in the future, she plans to plant more.

Going further, they saw a white spiritual plant shaped like a lotus growing on a stone.

There was a faint mist surrounding the stone, adding a touch of mystery to this spiritual plant.

Little Stone opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity. He approached the stone carefully and whispered, "Sister, is this the 'Purifying Heart Jade Lotus'? I heard that it can purify the soul and resist the inner demons."

This is good!

There are very few of them in the entire cultivation world.

People outside would even fight to the death for such a flower.

Chao Yao was extremely surprised and put this rare treasure into his pocket.

"Sister, these lotus seeds can be used to grow new lotus flowers. Collect a few of these stones as well. Maybe you can grow new lotus flowers by then."

"alright."

In this way, under the leadership of Xiao Shitou, Chao Yao and he reaped a lot in this foggy abyss and were getting closer and closer to the exit.

After they walked out of the foggy abyss, they continued to fly away in the direction they were heading.

In the misty abyss, Su Junze had been hiding in the dark waiting for Chao Yao to show up.

Time passed minute by minute, but there was still no sign of Chao Yao.

"Damn it, where on earth is Chao Yao hiding?"

Su Junze was so angry that he gritted his teeth, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

He paced back and forth on the spot, tightly holding the magic weapon in his hand that could sense the fluctuations of Chao Yao's spiritual power. The magic weapon was dim and unresponsive at this time.

"Has she already left this misty abyss?" Su Junze thought to himself, feeling more and more angry and unwilling.

He threw the magic weapon to the ground fiercely and roared: "Chao Yao, don't think you can escape from my grasp!"

However, all he got in response was empty fog and the echo of his own anger.

Su Junze looked around helplessly and finally could only leave in disappointment. He secretly swore in his heart that he must catch Chao Yao next time.

Chao Yao took Xiao Shitou and flew thousands of miles away and found a small town.

Little Stone was wearing adult clothes that didn't fit him. They were baggy and looked very funny and weird.

As soon as they stepped into the town, passers-by looked at them and talked about them.

"Why is this child dressed like this?" a passerby asked curiously.

"Maybe he encountered some difficulties." Another passerby guessed.

Chaoyao shook her head helplessly, gently touched Xiao Shitou's head, and said, "Come on, sister will take you to buy suitable clothes first."

They came to a cloth shop, where the fabrics were colorful and of various styles.

Chaoyao carefully selected clothes for Xiao Shitou, her eyes focused and gentle.

"How about this one?" Chao Yao picked up a brocade dress embroidered with exquisite patterns and asked softly.

"Sister, I like the blue one." Little Stone pointed to a light blue gown hanging not far away, his eyes full of anticipation.

At this time, the cloth shop owner came over and said with a big smile on his face: "Oh, young lady, you have really good taste. This child is very well-behaved. He will look very good in that blue gown."

As he spoke, he looked Chao Yao up and down, and suddenly noticed the faint fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from Chao Yao. His face changed instantly, and his attitude became more respectful and flattering.

"So it's Master Immortal. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. It's an honor for our shop to have you visit us! I'll give you a discount on this dress."

Chao Yao nodded slightly and didn't say much. He just asked the boss to take off the blue gown and let Xiao Shitou try it.

After a while, Little Stone changed into that brand new light blue gown, which made him look lively and cute.

When the boss saw Little Stone put on the blue gown, his eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Oh my, young master, you look like a fairy boy in this gown! With this look and temperament, you will definitely shine on the road of cultivating immortals in the future."

After hearing this, Little Stone's face was filled with a happy smile. He turned around and said, "Really? Then I want to be as good as my sister in the future!"

The boss quickly responded: "That's inevitable. Young Master, following the Immortal Master, your future is limitless!"

"It's better to buy a few more so that you can change them." Chao Yao looked at Xiao Shitou, his eyes full of pity.

The boss's compliment was very well-meaning, and Chaoyao also thought the clothes were nice.

So, Chaoyao carefully selected several clothes of different styles and colors for him.

Every time he chose a piece, the boss praised with great joy: "Master Immortal, the clothes you chose are so wonderful! When the young master wears them, he will look like a noble from the Immortal Sect, extraordinary and otherworldly!"

After some selection, Xiao Shitou had several new sets of clothes.

With this change, Xiao Shitou instantly seemed to have turned into a young nobleman from a prominent family, and his temperament seemed much more noble.

After buying clothes, Chaoyao took Xiao Shitou to find an inn to rest.

After entering the inn, Chao Yao asked for two upper rooms, then took Xiao Shitou to the table and sat down.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked enthusiastically.

"Bring us a portion of all your signature dishes." Chao Yao said.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter turned around and went back to work.

After a while, the hot and fragrant meal was served on the table.

When Little Stone saw the table full of delicious food, his eyes instantly lit up like bright stars. He clapped his hands excitedly and cheered, "Wow! There are so many delicious foods!"

He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling while eating: "Sister, this meat is so delicious, so fragrant and tender!"

After saying that, he didn't forget to lick his lips, which looked extremely cute.

Chao Yao looked at him with a smile, picked up food for him from time to time, and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Little Stone's mouth was full, like a little squirrel, his cheeks puffed up, and he responded vaguely: "Sister, I know, but I just can't help it!"

Then he picked up another bowl of soup and started drinking it, gulping it down. After he finished drinking it, he burped with satisfaction.

Chao Yao looked at his lively and playful appearance and couldn't help laughing: "You little greedy cat, be careful not to overeat."

Little Stone swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile: "Sister, such delicious food, I can eat more!"

After saying that, he continued to eat like whirlwind.

After dinner, Chaoyao took Xiao Shitou for a stroll in the town.

There are all kinds of small stalls on the streets, some selling handicrafts, some selling special snacks, and some selling fragments of magical weapons for cultivating immortals.

Xiao Shitou was particularly interested in a stall selling talismans and stood there unable to move.

"Sister, I want this." Xiao Shitou said, pulling Chao Yao's clothes.

Chao Yao followed Xiao Shitou's gaze and saw him staring at an inconspicuous black wooden box in the corner of the stall.

The wooden box was covered with dust, as if it had been there for a long time, and was covered by other bright and beautiful talismans. People passing by would hardly even take a second look at it.

Chao Yao was curious, so he walked forward, picked up the wooden box and opened it gently.

In an instant, an extremely cold air blew in her face. When she looked closely, she found that it was a mysterious crystal emitting a faint blue light.

At this time, the stall owner came over quickly, with a smile on his face and a shrewd look in his eyes, and said, "Master, you really have a keen eye for gems! This is the treasure of my stall. You can't take it away with less than fifty low-grade spirit crystals."

He folded his hands over his chest, looking certain that this was a valuable treasure.

"Sister, what is this? I just think it's beautiful." Little Stone asked with blinking eyes.

Chao Yao was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said lightly: "Children like it, boss, please give it a discount."

When the boss heard what Chao Yao said, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Master Immortal, please don't embarrass me. This is really a treasure. Fifty low-grade spirit crystals is already the lowest price."

Hearing what the boss said, Chao Yao smiled and said, "Boss, look at this box, it's so worn out and covered in dust. It's not worth fifty low-grade spirit crystals. My child just likes it because it's new. If your price is reasonable, I'll buy it. Otherwise, forget it."
