Under shopkeeper Qian''s guidance, the carriage quickly arrived at the southernmost area of Xiuzhou city, next to a low-rise residential house.
There was a narrow alley in front of them. The carriage could not pass through, so they had to get off the carriage and walk.
The alley was dark and unclear, and the houses on both sides were old and dpidated. When the wind blew, it made a low Wuwu sound, as if it was an old beast that was unable to move, and was letting out a sad cry before its death, adding a bit of destion.
The ground beneath their feet was uneven and there wererge and small pits filled with dirty water. Fortunately, Ling Chuxi and the others ''cultivation levels were not low, so they could see clearly in the night. Otherwise, they might have been sshed with dirty water.
However, although an expert''s eyesight was good, his sense of smell was also unusually sensitive. He could avoid the dirty water on the ground, but he could not avoid the sour and rancid smell that assaulted his nose. Ling Chuxi could only cover her nose and move forward.
"There''s such a ce in the heaven domain?" Ling Chuxi could not help but say. This ce was even more shabby than the slums she had seen in the other world. She didn''t know what these people were doing here. The Qing-Yun realm was so big. Did they have nowhere to go?
"Great Alchemist Ling, you may not know this, but although the Qing-Yun realm is big, it is very difficult to make a name for yourself. Most of the people who live here are itinerant cultivators who don''t have any background. If they want to improve their cultivation level, they can only join the sects.
If he was lucky one day and was chosen by an aristocratic family, he would be able to rise to the heavens in a single step. However, in Xiuzhou city, it''s not as hard as in the wilderness. It''s hard to find a living, so these cultivators don''t have a good life. " Shopkeeper Qian exined.
Ling Chuxi didn''t say anything more. This was a world where the strong were respected. For ordinary rogue cultivators, if they wanted to be strong, they had to put in ten times or even a hundred times more effort than the disciples of aristocratic families. What was thew? this was actually a part of thew.
Thinking about how meixiu was still so optimistic and positive despite living in such a ce, Ling Chuxi had a better impression of her.
"How far away are we?" Ling Chuxi asked.
"Soon, it should be in front." Shopkeeper Qian replied.
Now, she was really envious of those monarch level experts ''sword control technique. If she could learn the sword control technique, she wouldn''t have to worry about the dirty puddles under her feet.
"This is it, we''ve arrived." Shopkeeper Qian suddenly said.
? Ling Chuxi immediately stopped and saw a dpidated courtyard in front of her. Light could be faintly seening from inside the courtyard. The old wooden door had been kicked in half and was tilted to one side.
"What are you doing? stop! Stop!" Mixiu''s panicked voice could be heard from inside.
"Wretched girl, you actually dare to cheat this young master of his money. Do you think that by hiding in Xiuzhou city, I won''t be able to find you?" Then, there was the sound of things being smashed and the young man''s cursing.
Situ kuangjian? why is he here? Ling Chuxi recognized the young man''s voice immediately.
Ling Chuxi suddenly recalled that ever since she had seen situ kuangjian today, meixiu had been acting very abnormally. It was only now that she realized that the person situ kuangjian had been looking for was actually meixiu. She did not know what meixiu had lied to him to make him so angry.
"Isn''t it just a few spirit stones? I''ll just return it to you. Don''t disturb my big brother''s rest. " Mixiu sobbed.
