The currency used in the Lianying Realm is not gold or silver, and gold and silver notes are even less usable. The Lianying Realm uses a special type of ores found in their realm to make a currency called coins. There are quite a few coins in the Storage Bag left by Yu Chuan, probably tens of millions. However, for a cultivator like him, who is the head of a cultivation sect in the Lianying Realm, this amount of coins is not too much, but too little.
Qi Tian, carrying his hunting catch, arrived at the head of the bridge. Then, mimicking the behavior of other native cultivators, he tossed a coin into the basket in front of the two cultivators guarding the bridge. These two cultivators didn’t even bother to give Qi Tian a glance. Even though Qi Tian looked out of place, they just waved him through.
It’s not that they were lax in their vigilance, but they could never have imagined that Qi Tian would be audacious enough to impersonate a cultivator of their Lianying Realm, and daringly enter their Guchuan City. In the past, when cultivators from the National Master Manor came to the Lianying Realm for cultivation training, their activities never exceeded a radius of three hundred li around the safety houses, which are also the key areas of confrontation between them and the National Master Manor. This place was considered the rear area.
Qi Tian, carrying his hunting catch, crossed the bridge and entered Guchuan City. There were specialized merchants in Guchuan City who bought such catches. Seeing Qi Tian carrying a game animal, they came forward, wanting to buy Qi Tian’s catch.
Qi Tian did not want to keep carrying his hunting catch around the streets, which would be too inconvenient. He knew these merchants could not give him a decent price, but he still sold his catch to one of them. Taking this opportunity, Qi Tian compared the words of the Lianying Realm, which he had grasped, with the merchant’s speech and instantly understood the pronunciation of hundreds of Lianying Realm words.
With this base, Qi Tian quickly paired more words and pronunciations. At this point, he can’t claim to have completely mastered
the Lianying Realm language, but using it for simple communication with the native cultivators of the Lianying Realm is no longer an issue.
Qi Tian found a teahouse and a bustling spot to sit down. He ordered a pot of good tea and quietly sat there, listening to the native cultivators chatting away. By the time it darkened, he had completely mastered the Lianying Realm language, and by the time he was paying the teahouse’s waiter, he was able to communicate fluently in the Lianying Realm language.
In his past life, Qi Tian was a language prodigy. In this life, as a cultivator, his spiritual power is even stronger. Therefore, mastering a new language is no big deal for him.
When it got to evening, Guchuan City became particularly bustling. A lot of native cultivators who had been practicing their skills in Jia Nan Mountain returned to Guchuan City, making the city doubly lively compared to the day.
As Qi Tian stepped out of the teahouse and saw the bustling streets filled with native cultivators, he felt a surge of emotions.
The cultivators of Guchuan City were far superior to those of the Imperial Master Mansion in both quantity and quality. The Imperial Master Mansion merely had cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, otherwise, setting the location for the County Master selection battle here would basically be a suicide mission. Despite that, it’s still a very dangerous matter. If all cultivators from the Lianying Realm, or even just those from Guchuan City mobilized, they could effortlessly wipe out all 500 to 600 disciples from the Imperial Master Mansion who came for training.
Indeed, there are quite a few native cultivators who went out of their way to kill the disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion, but apparently, the Lianying Realm didn’t take this matter seriously at all, only employing a small fraction of their forces. It seems in their eyes, the Imperial Master Mansion bringing its disciples here for training was only a minor issue, not requiring their full attention. Or perhaps, they considered the disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion to be sharpening stones for their native cultivators.
The inside story of this arrangement was beyond what Qi Tian currently understood. However, there were still many coins in his Storage Bag. Since he had no other use for them, he might as well take advantage of the fact that this city was populated by native cultivators, and convert these coins into cultivation resources he needed at the local shops.
The first thing Qi Tian thought of was to buy a mount to serve as his transportation.
There were such stores in Guchuan City, and not just one. Soon after Qi Tian left the teahouse, he saw such a shop and walked in confidently.
The shop was spacious, with a front shop and a back yard. Business was so brisk that there was no spare staff to attend to Qi Tian. Therefore, a boss-like man apologized to his customer before yelling to Qi Tian to look around freely, before resuming his conversation with the customer.
Qi Tian went straight to the backyard, and upon entering, was immediately hit by the pungent smell of urine.
The backyard was spacious, with horse stables, animal pens, and bird cages. Most of them were mounts, and the rest were various pets.
Qi Tian scanned the yard and saw a red-eyed demon wolf lying in one of the animal pens.
This kind of beast is commonly used as a mount by the native cultivators of the Lianying Realm. When Qi Tian first left the safe house, the wolf-riding soldiers he encountered were riding Red-eyed Demon Wolves.
The size of a Red-eyed Demon Wolf can be compared to a donkey. Of course, compared to a donkey, they have thick fur, broad and heavy backs, wolf claws as solid as bear paws, and a speed of up to eighty kilometers per hour. They can be said to be an excellent mode of transportation.
Of course, there are several mounts in the courtyard that are better than the Red-eyed Demon Wolf, but after considering it, Qi Tian gave up the idea of buying them. The Red-eyed Demon Wolves are more prevalent among the cultivators of the Lianying Realm. Having such a mount can easily make the native cultivators see him as one of them, thus avoiding more trouble.
Just as Qi Tian was about to summon someone over to ask about the price of the Red-eyed Demon Wolf, his gaze suddenly landed on two attractive figures. One was as straight as a spear, and the other resembled a delicate orchid in a desolate valley. No matter how he looked, they seemed familiar to Qi Tian.
After a slight hesitation, Qi Tian decided to go over to take a look. He walked over and stood behind the spear-like figure, coughed softly, and then said in the Lianying Realm’s language in a low voice, “Zhao Qian.”
At the sound of her name, the figure turned around sharply. Her beautiful eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, as if she would impale Qi Tian with a spear the next second. However, as soon as she recognized Qi Tian, the murderous intent in her eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by intense curiosity. “Why is it you?” she asked.
Seeing this beautiful face and hearing Lianying Realm’s language spoken from her lips, a sincere smile appeared on Qi Tian’s face. He replied softly, “Greetings, Princess.”
Zhao Qian glared at Qi Tian. Calling her a “Princess” in such a place was like digging a pit for them to fall into. She whispered, “Don’t call me ‘Princess’. Call me ‘Miss’. From now on, you’re my servant.”
“But…”
Before Qi Tian could finish his sentence, Zhao Qian interrupted him, stating, “There’s no ‘but’. I’m the Princess, I have the final say. From now on, until we leave the Lianying Realm, you have to follow us closely at all times. And remember, I am the Second Miss, and this is the Eldest Miss.”
Zhao Qian pointed her finger at the woman who looked like a rare orchid, telling Qi Tian to hurriedly greet the “Eldest Miss”.
What could Qi Tian do? If he didn’t agree to be the servant of such a beautiful young Princess and stay by her side at all times, he would be a fool. Others would do anything to get close to the Princess, but he didn’t have to expend any effort to do so. If word got out, it would surely make many people envious.
Qi Tian quickly got into character. He knew that from the moment he recognized Zhao Qian, she had regarded him as a potentially unstable factor. Fortunately, Zhao Qian had a good impression of him; otherwise, if it had been someone else, she would not have asked him to be a “servant”, but would have tried to silence him. Zhao Qian’s status and position meant she couldn’t afford to risk her identity being discovered.
Qi Tian immediately bowed to Zhao Qian and the other woman, saying, “Greetings, Eldest and Second Miss.” He was quite curious about the woman who could travel with Zhao Qian and make Zhao Qian willingly be her “Second Miss”.
The woman turned around and glanced at Qi Tian. Her face was covered with a veil, and only her eyes, as dazzling as stars, were visible. Her eyelashes were curved to model the entrancing allure of autumn water. She nodded slightly and said, “Little sister, we should hurry and buy a mount so we can leave.”
“Which mounts have the two misses chosen?” Qi Tian asked.
Zhao Qian pointed at a Dragon Horse that was clean without a single stray hair. This horse was majestic and stunningly red. It was very domineering, and it was the perfect mount for a cultivator like Zhao Qian, who wielded a long spear. With such a powerful Dragon Horse, she could undoubtedly become a legendary warrior.
The other woman pointed at a peacock without saying a word, but her intention was clear.
Qi Tian immediately felt a headache. He suddenly regretted coming over. He should have pretended not to see them. In that case, he wouldn’t have to worry about their survival, but it was too late for regrets. Regardless of whether Zhao Qian would let him leave, he was a bit worried about these two flashy young women.
“Both of you have excellent taste, and these are indeed good mounts. If we were elsewhere, I would definitely support your choices. But here, I have to advise you not to buy them. They attract too much attention,” Qi Tian whispered.
Both Zhao Qian and the other woman were intelligent. They immediately understood Qi Tian’s words. In a hostile environment like this, buying such glamorous and conspicuous mounts was inviting trouble. Although neither of them were afraid of trouble, it was a smart choice to avoid it when possible. After all, the human capability can sometimes be exhausted, and what’s the point of having fancy mounts if they attract an endless stream of enemies?
