The Transmigrator is Exposed!
The autumn light shimmered, the autumn wind blew gently, and only haystacks and smoke remained on the golden valley.
After Xiao Ran received the sword, saved Flamefree City, and obtained the Dao Alliance's reward, he suddenly realized that the pace of life on Sword-Wielding Mountain had slowed down.
It is already late autumn, and it rained again last night. The weather should have turned cooler, but Zongzhi Mountain is located on a volcanic vein and is surrounded by desert. It is not cold in winter, let alone late autumn.
The places where immortals cultivate are mostly spring-like all year round, with green mountains and clear waters, and shrouded in mist.
The other peaks of Zongzhi Mountain are the same.
Only at Sword-Wielding Mountain, under Xiao Ran's transformation, one can see golden valleys, abundant Orchard, fiery red maples, and wisps of smoke rising from chimneys... presenting a rich Mortal Realm world.
The late autumn sun was bright and warm, neither too hot nor too cold, making people feel very comfortable.
Lingzhou Yue lay on her side like a silkworm, holding a wine pot, basking in the sun on a pine branch.
The sun warms the heart, but the apprentice feels cold.
Xiao Ran ruined my mood last night, and even sunbathing doesn't feel comfortable anymore.
The warm wine stung her throat, and she couldn't swallow her anger any longer. Suddenly, she stood up and jumped down.
He sat cross-legged on the pine roots, laid out Bamboo Tile, and drank wine while studying advanced gambling techniques.
She was planning to make a fortune in Chaos City using this... Thinking of this, she finally felt a bit of warmth from the sunlight.
On the Sword Plaza.
After the new sword was polished and reforged, Chuyan said she would cultivate diligently, but in her heart she was thinking—
This gleaming, ancient sword of the Profound-tier would be perfect for weaving clothes!
He made a few symbolic gestures on the Sword Plaza, then ran off to the cotton field to pick cotton.
In the mulberry field next door, silkworms had already begun spinning cocoons, but not a single mulberry was in sight...
After putting away the cotton and silk, she asked Xiao Ran for a large bamboo board, moved a stone bench to sit on the Sword Plaza, placed the bamboo board on the Orange Cat's back to form a simple desk, and began designing clothes.
She would sometimes bury herself in her pen, meticulously designing, and other times look up, gesturing at her Grandmaster from afar, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes nodding...
Xiao Ran shook his head.
This is supposed to be the sect's backup plan? A candidate for prodigy? A hundred years older than me and considered mature? And he has the nerve to call me impulsive and easily broken? And look at Master, he seems to be studying Card Skills...
Sword-Wielding Mountain is beyond saving.
As expected, in the end he took all the blame.
With 442 Filial Piety Points in hand, he wasn't in a hurry to buy the Qi Refining Ten Thousand Layers.
Qi Refining Ten Thousand Layers is merely icing on the cake.
Serendipitous Critical Strike could save your life, which is the more important thing right now.
Warming wine, Fight the Wraith, hot springs, massages... all these daily activities combined can steadily contribute dozens of Filial Piety Points every day, but it's still far from enough.
The valley has been harvested, and the 100,000 Spirit Stone have been received. Xiao Ran is going to East Floating City in person to order a batch of high-grade seeds, medicinal herbs, and Flame Fungus.
He then said to the two of them, "I'm going to East Floating City to buy some high-grade grain seeds and medicinal herbs. Anyone want to come along?"
Chuyan was engrossed in designing clothes and determined to weave a perfect set of clothes for her Grandmaster. When she heard that Xiao Ran was going to East Floating City, she didn't even look up and said, "Could you bring me some scissors, buttons, jade, and hairpins?"
Good grief, he's a freeloader right off the bat! "Do you have any money? I remember you lost quite a bit to me last night."
Xiao Ran said irritably.
Chuyan then raised her head, giggling, her expression one of pure, unbridled excitement.
"Put it on your tab, and I'll take good care of the high-level valley for you!"
You're quite self-aware! Considering that the planned high-level valley is different from the previous one, requiring a lot of Spiritual Power for irrigation and careful care, Xiao Ran agreed to buy some clothing supplies for Chuyan.
"Where is Master? Is he going to East Floating City?"
Xiao Ran asked again.
After all, with his Master by his side, he could accumulate a lot of Filial Piety Points along the way.
Lingzhou Yue also wanted to have some fun.
But upon closer reflection, she decided she couldn't be bothered to watch Xiao Ran squander her money on debauchery. Instead, she decided to stay home and hone her Card Skills, waiting for an opportunity to redeem herself.
"What's so fun about East Floating City? The Dao Alliance people always have such stern faces. You should go by yourself."
"Oh, then I'll be going."
Xiao Ran didn't insist and turned to leave.
Lingzhou Yue added, "By the way, if you want to buy something, just go to the White Night Branch. I have acquaintances at the White Night Main Branch in Chaos City. Just mention my name, and no one will scam you. I can also transfer goods from Chaos City very quickly."
"Good."
Just as Xiao Ran was about to leave, he bumped into two ominous figures and landed on his sword.
"Going to East Floating City? Take us with you—"
The Chunwa was only halfway through its sentence when the Qiuchan quickly interrupted:
"We'll take you with us!"
Is it possible to take a child out without spending money?
Xiao Ran resolutely refused.
"No, I won't bring it."
Qiuchan glanced at him and said:
Have you ever been to East Floating City?
The Chunwa suddenly realized and immediately chimed in:
"You don't actually think you can fly across that three-thousand-mile-long Flame Desert with the naked eye, do you?"
The Qiuchan chirped again:
"Master's medicine is still missing a few herbs that are not available at Hundred Herbs Peak. We are on our way to East Floating City."
"Stop dawdling, let's go!"
East Floating City is located on the northeastern border of the Blazing Fire Kingdom and is the town furthest from Zongzhi Mountain.
For ordinary people to reach East Floating City, they must cross a desert that resembles a blazing inferno. The journey is long and can take several months, and there are dangers along the way.
Therefore, even though Xiao Ran has been in East Floating City for three years, he has not yet visited it.
It would be good to have someone to guide you.
Thinking this, Xiao Ran picked up the two girls, stepped onto his sword, and flew towards the north of the Blazing Fire Kingdom.
On the straight road from Zongzhi Mountain to East Floating City, there is a mountain range swallowed by the desert. On the flat ground, you can roast sweet potatoes, and when a camel walks in, smoke rises from its back.
It is known as the Flame Mountain.
Xiao Ran flew into the Flame Mountain area on his sword. He didn't see the Banana Leaf Fan, but he could clearly feel the rising heat wave. He subconsciously flew up a hundred feet.
Even so, the heat waves that surged into the sky fluctuated, forming turbulence and even fiery clouds that covered the sky! Xiao Ran led the way, with the two girls, weaving through the vast fiery clouds in bizarre zigzag patterns.
The two girls were stunned for a while before they realized that they weren't the ones leading the way.
"Hey, we didn't give you directions. Why are you on the best shortcut?"
"No, Frog, Master said this road is very dangerous, there are Sand Worm, and we must never walk alone. We must be accompanied by a cultivator at the Golden Core stage or above."
Xiao Ran dismissed the idea.
"Sand Worm? Only children are afraid of insects."
The moment the words left his mouth, everything below went black.
A giant Sand Worm, hundreds of feet long, leaped from the sea of sand, soaring into the sky. It opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the three of them whole.
Xiao Ran remained unmoved, easily erecting a vibrating Spiritual Energy shield that enveloped the three of them.
It was pitch black all around, with only scalding, writhing sand.
The Sand Worm's Cultivation Level was only Foundation Establishment. It concealed its aura under the burning clouds and only managed to launch a sneak attack because Xiao Ran deliberately held back.
But its size was truly terrifying. The three of them moved dozens of feet just by falling from its mouth into its stomach, which shows how big the Sand Worm was!
"These are the insects you were talking about?"
The two girls' screams never stopped.
"You're going to die! Run! What are you doing talking?"
"Aren't you also at the Qi Refining? This is Foundation Establishment Realm Sand Worm!"
Xiao Ran raised his hand and struck.
A faint Spiritual Energy enveloped the sand, causing the space to tremble violently.
The colossal insect, hundreds of feet long, collapsed instantly, and sand and gravel rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour.
The surrounding area was filled with fiery heat waves, scorching Xiao Ran's azure Spiritual Energy shield.
The Sand Worm's beast core appeared in Xiao Ran's hand; it was only the size of an egg.
Xiao Ran sighed.
"With such a large body and such a small amount of beast core, no wonder it looks good but is useless. Just exercising isn't enough!"
After glancing around, the remaining Sand Worm, which had been stirring restlessly in the desert, quickly fled.
There isn't even a single Sand Worm in this area.
What a waste of time...
Xiao Ran didn't intend to waste time trying to exterminate the Sand Worm.
On the side.
The two girls exchanged wide eyes, stunned for a long time without understanding, then suddenly pointed at Xiao Ran and said, "You really killed the National Teacher!"
"So... you killed Wraith on the Sword Plaza that day?"
How stupid and oblivious to current events must you two be to be so surprised? Xiao Ran simply said:
"That was thanks to Uncle-Master Chen Gongxing; I only helped a little."
The two girls circled around Xiao Ran, scrutinizing him closely, their four chubby little legs pacing back and forth.
"How are you so amazing!"
With its four eyes darting around and its dual-core brainstorming session initiating, it began making irresponsible and wild guesses.
Have you ever had any extraordinary adventures?
"Could he be a reincarnation of a deity?"
"Could he be possessed by the Wraith?"
"You treat Uncle Ling Zhou so well, did you become stronger by feeding on filial piety?"
"You speak in a way that's different from us. Could you be one of those legendary outcasts...?"
Xiao Ran was speechless, a chill ran down his spine, and he quickly covered the mouths of the two of them with one hand.
"Shh! Stop talking. There are still a lot of Sand Worm nearby, even a swarm of them. Hurry up and fly over quietly, or I'll be kneeling down too."
Having said that, he immediately picked up the two girls, mounted his sword, and set off again.
Children speak without restraint, their imaginations run wild! If they keep making wild guesses, his identity as a transmigrator and his system will be exposed.
The Chunwa and Qiuchan fell silent instantly, and instead of riding their swords themselves, they rode on Xiao Ran's shoulders.
After riding for a while, feeling unsteady, they jumped off one after the other, sitting on either end of the sword, tightly hugging Xiao Ran's thighs with both hands, thinking to themselves—
This guy might actually be a supreme expert!
That's how kids are; they easily jump from one extreme to the other...
Half a day later.
The three of them flew all the way to East Floating City.
