Its Fortune Was Nearly Spent

Seeing Tianxi's appearance, Fang Zelin also looked down at himself.

They weren't much better off than the other side.

"How long have I been cultivating?"

Fang Zelin asked a question.

"More than six hundred years!"

Tianxi thought for a moment, then immediately replied.

More than six hundred years?

Fang Zelin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Fortunately, his cultivation level has increased significantly, so even if he doesn't practice the art of Grain Avoidance, he won't suffer any major health problems from not eating on a regular basis.

Otherwise, he would probably have starved to death by now.

Shaking his head slightly, Fang Zelin used magic to retrieve his clothes, preparing to change out of the rotten garments he was wearing.

Turning to look at Tianxi's appearance, he casually took out a set from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"I only brought some ordinary clothes with me, so please make do with these."

"Thank you, young master!"

Although the clothes were meant for the young master, Tianxi showed no resistance whatsoever. After replying, she parted some seawater and went into the sea to change her clothes.

She did this mainly because she felt a little shy and couldn't change her clothes in front of the young master.

Fang Zelin didn't take it seriously. He cast a spell to bring rain and prepared to wash himself. When he was changing his clothes, he found that his skin was extremely smooth and not covered with a speck of dust.

"This is."

After a thorough examination, Fang Zelin realized that his body was no longer that of an ordinary person.

There wasn't a speck of dirt left on his body.

"Immaculate Body."

In an instant, this realization dawned on Fang Zelin's mind.

"I unexpectedly received such a good benefit."

Fang Zelin smiled slightly, and then Shi Yu washed him.

The main reason is that he hasn't been washed for over six hundred years, although his current body no longer needs to.

But out of habit, she still had Fang Zelin wash his body and then change into a clean set of clothes.

After Fang Zelin finished combing his hair and changed his clothes, Tianxi emerged from the water.

When Tianxi appeared dressed as a man, Fang Zelin couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Unlike her usual gentle and charming appearance, Tianxi now exuded a more heroic air.

"Let's go. We've gained something after hundreds of years away; it's time to go back."

Fang Zelin waved and stepped onto the dilapidated awning boat.

Without the need for oars, the awning boat moved forward on its own.

Tianxi stood obediently behind Fang Zelin, still behaving like a maid.

"You have protected the Dao for hundreds of years, and the debts of gratitude have long been repaid. There's no need for this."

What are your plans for the future?

Seeing that Tianxi still acted as if she were a maidservant who needed to be taken care of the whole way, Fang Zelin immediately shook his head.

For hundreds of years, they have protected the Dao. If there is any debt of gratitude, it is Fang Zelin who owes them.

It seemed that Tianxi still hadn't realized what was happening even at this point.

"Young master, you flatter me. If you hadn't allowed me to meditate alongside Xiaoxi during your cultivation, Xiaoxi wouldn't have been able to comprehend such profound Daoist principles, and my cultivation level wouldn't be what it is today."

Upon hearing this, Tianxi hurriedly shook her head repeatedly.

In her view, these hundreds of years did not count as her protecting the Way.

Instead, when the young master was cultivating, he made an exception and gave her the opportunity to gain some insight.

Otherwise, how could her path of cultivation be so simple?

With her current level of cultivation, even some ordinary thousand-year-old demons wouldn't be a match for her!

Even with such a debt of gratitude, she felt it grew ever heavier!

Hearing Tianxi's words, Fang Zelin was slightly taken aback, then asked, "So what are your plans next?"

"Of course I'll follow you, young master!"

Tianxi answered instinctively, then realized something and asked with a hint of nervousness, "Would you agree, young master?"

The young master before me was a being of unfathomable and profound cultivation.

Being able to stay by someone's side is actually a sign of one's great fortune.

Her current request makes one think that she has ulterior motives.

Fang Zelin didn't think much of it at the moment. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

In Fang Zelin's view, the other party had protected him for hundreds of years.

Since the other party wants to follow, then let them follow.

Seeing Fang Zelin nod, Tianxi's face immediately lit up with surprise and delight.

She immediately bowed gracefully to Fang Zelin and thanked him.

The dilapidated boat cut through the waves and sailed towards the shore.

After a few cups of tea's time, a ferry crossing came into view in the distance.

To avoid their appearance being too shocking, Fang Zelin used a smokescreen.

After the dilapidated awning boat docked, the two walked ashore.

Without the blessing of Law Power, the awning boat beneath their feet slowly sank into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

Let's go.

With her feet firmly on the ground again, Tianxi became curious about her surroundings.

He stomped on the ground several more times.

It was as if it were a sea monster that had just transformed into human form and come ashore.

Fang Zelin found it quite amusing to see this.

After waiting for a moment, and as Tianxi reacted and followed him with a flushed face, Fang Zelin strode away.

Although Tianxi has been in human form for several hundred years, she has spent far too much of that time cultivating alone.

So at this moment, Tianxi still looks like a little girl.

"Young master, wouldn't you like to find something to eat first?"

Tianxi twitched her nose, then seemed somewhat tempted.

What did you eat while you were at sea?

When this matter was brought up, Fang Zelin couldn't help but ask a question.

"There are lots of fish, shrimp, shellfish, and other things in the sea, and you can eat those!"

Upon hearing this, Tianxi responded matter-of-factly, then her little face fell, "But now that I think about it, Xiaoxi feel a little nauseous."

Eating too much of these things does indeed have this effect.

Fortunately, she usually cultivates regularly and only eats a little bit every few days.

Even so, the passage of hundreds of years has indeed been quite a challenge for her.

Seeing the other person's expression, Fang Zelin couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"By the way, do you have any silver on you?"

To get food, you need money.

He remembered that he had bought the awning boat before, but there wasn't much money left.

"The Xiaoxi has this!"

Upon hearing this, Tianxi immediately took out a handful of pearls.

These were retrieved from the seabed over the years. She realized she had no money on her, so she kept some.

Otherwise, she wouldn't actually need these things.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin nodded slightly and went to the pawnshop first.

After exchanging the pearls for some silver, he took Tianxi to enjoy some local delicacies.

"If you calculate the time, the Great Qian Dynasty has been established for over eight hundred years."

Fang Zelin casually tasted it, then sat down to ponder.

According to the calculations of that time, the Great Qian Dynasty was destined to last for a thousand years.

More than 800 years have passed since then.

The remaining lifespan of the Great Qian is running out.
