Chapter 462: Visiting
Early morning in a deserted city.
Gu Heng got up, went to the back room, steamed some brown sugar buns, and then went to the front yard.
"Mmm, the air here smells so good."
He munched on his steamed bun, took a few deep breaths, and squinted his eyes in blissful enjoyment.
This deserted city is not deserted at all. When he woke up in the morning, his nasal cavity felt refreshed and he could smell sweetness. Although Gu Heng did not know why he felt this way, this place was definitely much better than Yunling City.
"Ok?"
While munching on a steamed bun, Gu Heng suddenly spotted a tiny green sprout emerging from the soft soil beside him! He had deliberately lifted up two stone bricks in the front yard to loosen the soil before planting the seeds, not expecting to see a seedling today after planting them yesterday.
But the sapling has already sprouted?
Gu Heng was extremely surprised. He quickly stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, swallowed it, and ran over.
Gu Heng was extremely surprised. He quickly stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, swallowed it, and ran over.
The tender green seedling in the soil was slowly stretching its leaves, looking full of vitality!
"So fast?"
"It seems the soil here is indeed very nutrient-rich!"
Gu Heng was extremely surprised.
He originally just wanted to give it a try, but to his surprise, the seed actually sprouted!
Gu Heng excitedly circled the newly sprouted seedling twice. This was a seed from the "Seven Realms Sacred Tree." Although the name sounded very prestigious, he had never actually seen a mature tree.
Now, he is very much looking forward to seeing what the Seven Realms Sacred Tree will look like.
Hopefully, it will truly resemble the so-called "sacred tree".
Seeing that the seeds he tried to plant in Qingmu City and Yunling City failed to sprout, but actually sprouted after just one night in the desolate city, this was quite an excellent start!
With this in mind, Gu Heng felt even more hopeful about his future life in the desolate city.
Although he doesn't know what he can do right now, he has decided not to open a clinic and will focus on cultivation from now on. However, Gu Heng doesn't have much of a clue about cultivation yet...
If you want to become stronger, you need to fill up your experience bar, but how to fill up the experience bar is another troublesome matter.
This experience bar is really hard to raise.
"Young Master Gu, is this place alright?" Gu Heng was pondering cultivation issues when someone came to visit early in the morning. Upon closer inspection, it was Jin Qian, the manager of "Youjian Inn," who came carrying a large pile of things.
"Oh, shopkeeper, why are you here so early?"
Gu Heng greeted him with a smile.
"I've come to deliver something to you."
Jin Qian chuckled as he put down what he was carrying. It was a variety of fruits, vegetables, and spirit beast meat that the inn had stocked up on. He had brought quite a lot of them at once.
Although the residents of the desolate city are all cultivators, they do not leave the city for safety reasons. As a result, they have nothing to do, and over time, their lives have begun to resemble those of hermits and ordinary people.
Cultivators do not need to fill their stomachs; food is merely to satisfy their appetites. However, spending all day in the desolate city, there is nothing to do except for secluded cultivation.
The only interesting thing is cooking.
Jin Qian didn't necessarily have to open this inn. But his cultivation had reached its limit, and he couldn't break through, so he had to find something else to do.
There aren't many people as free as him. It would be a good thing if he weren't idle, but Jin Qian is a man who knows how to accept his fate. He knows that there are some things that he can't get through no matter how hard he tries.
Yesterday, Gu Heng had a rare treat of a proper meal at his deserted inn, which Jin Qian found quite enjoyable.
Moreover, it is said that these two outsiders have already received Yin Rufeng's approval to stay here permanently.
Jin Qian then had the idea of visiting.
Judging from his appearance, this young master Gu is indeed quite strong, but he seems to care a lot about his appetite and insists on eating three meals a day.
Very strange.
It's just the normal life pattern of an ordinary person.
But Jin Qian didn't care about all that. It was rare for a new person to join the desolate city after so many years, and this Young Master Gu seemed to have a good temper, making him a friend worth getting to know.
"Manager Jin, I'm flattered that you've gone to all this trouble."
Gu Heng was also a little surprised. He hadn't expected Jin Qian to bring so many fruits, vegetables and meats to his door. This saved him a lot of trouble.
But he also knew.
This is mostly thanks to the Yin family.
The fact that the old master and young lady of the Yin family came to see him one after the other is something that can't be kept secret in a city deep in the mountains; it spreads quickly.
"It's nothing, Young Master Gu. If you have time in the future, please come and sit at the inn. It's been a long time since anyone has appreciated my skills."
Jin Qian's enthusiasm made it difficult for Gu Heng to refuse.
The two chatted for a while longer. Before leaving, Gu Heng took out a painting and handed it to Jin Qian. "Yesterday, the eldest daughter of the Yin family came to see me. As payment for staying here, I promised to paint a picture for her to appraise. But I don't know how to get to the Yin family. I'd like to trouble you to deliver it to them for me."
Gu Heng handed over the scroll.
He put a lot of thought into drawing this "war map" last night, which took him two or three hours.
The last time he put so much effort into painting was three or four years ago.
After mastering his drawing skills, Gu Heng stopped working on anything complicated. He would just draw stick figure battles and similar works in his spare time for his own amusement.
"Oh? That's what Miss Yin wanted?"
Jin Qian was somewhat surprised.
Yin Xueling entered the Dao through painting. Among the younger generation of several aristocratic families in this desolate city, she is the most talented. She is the only one who has taken the first step onto the path to immortality, and her future is bound to be limitless!
Of course. Staying in the deserted city probably doesn't offer much of a future.
The environment here is better than that of the Xuan Tian Realm, but it is still not as good as the Lesser Xuan Tian Realm, the "Void Immortal World". It is extremely difficult to make any further breakthroughs, whether to become a pseudo-immortal or even a true immortal.
"Excellent! I never imagined that Young Master Gu would possess such abilities. I hope that one day I can broaden my horizons and witness such talent myself."
Jin Qian took the painting and clicked his tongue in admiration.
Gu Heng smiled and nodded.
"Manager Jin, you can take a peek, I don't mind."
"No, no, since it's for Miss Yin, I need her permission before I can even look at it!"
Jin Qian quickly waved his hand in refusal.
But he was also eager to see just how amazing Gu Heng's painting was, so he hurriedly left to present the gift to Yin Xueling.
After Jin Qian left, Gu Heng continued to consider how to proceed with his cultivation. "Master, I'm going out now."
Qin Yiyao was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a sword at her waist and her long hair tied up, exuding energy.
Are you coming back for dinner?
"No, I'll be away for quite a while this time."
Qin Yiyao decided not to waste any time. Since her master had moved here for her sake, Qin Yiyao felt it was time for her to make some noise in Zhongzhou.
It's time to start making me empress again!
