Boat Tickets
Liu Yunan smiled and said:
"Then I'll wait here for them to come back."
Since it's rare for me to take the time to come over, I should at least see my two aunts and say hello to them.
Seeing that he wasn't in a hurry to leave, Qin Jianghe pulled him aside to chat about the recent business of the escort agency. Then, the two of them discussed many details about their upcoming trip to the capital in the study.
And just like that, evening arrived in the blink of an eye.
When Mother Qin and Tietou's Mother saw Liu Yunan arrive, they were both surprised and happy. They surrounded him and asked him about things in the sect and about Xiushui Village.
Afterwards Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe agreed to meet in Songyang County three days later and set off for the capital together. Liu Yunan then returned to Xiushui Village with a bunch of large and small bags of things that Mother Qin had bought for Qin Jianghe's father and Tietou's Mother had bought for Tietou and his father.
This trip to the capital will definitely involve a stay of some time, and both of them need to make proper arrangements for their respective sects and escort agencies.
Qin Jianghe's side is doing alright, after all, he has let go a few times, and the escort agency is now very stable, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
But it's different for Liu Yunan.
Previously, whenever Lin Xiao was not around, Liu Yunan would handle sect affairs, with Senior Liao assisting him.
But now Lin Xiao has gone to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and Senior Liao has also gone with Lin Xiao into the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, saying that in case they can discover his other soul forms.
Therefore, he needs to make proper arrangements before leaving this time.
The girls were all too young and couldn't be trusted. Tietou was also in charge of patrolling, so the younger generation had almost no chance. Therefore, Liu Yunan had no choice but to ask his mother to handle the affairs, with the parents of Lin Xiao, Qin Jianghe, Tietou, and Jiang Youfu assisting from the side.
I spent three days teaching them everything, big and small, in detail.
Three days later, when the appointed time with Qin Jianghe arrived, he left the sect and went to the capital with Qin Jianghe.
We'll leave aside for now what happened on Qin Jianghe and Liu Yunan's journey to the capital and what happened after they arrived.
On Lin Xiao's side, he, Jiang Youfu, and Senior Liao arrived at Senior Liao's cave abode once again.
Just like when Lin Xiao first arrived here, Jiang Youfu was instantly shocked by Senior Liao's overwhelming extravagance.
Good heavens, if all this stuff in the house were food, we could eat it all in a lifetime!
Jiang Youfu subconsciously swallowed.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao suggested leaving quickly, preventing him from drooling too much.
Previously, Lin Xiao teleported Liu Chun directly to a remote location near Yuanling City, instead of directly returning to Senior Liao's cave abode.
They are still being teleported here, naturally with Liao Pantu's permission.
The two of them left the cave abode and, since they had nothing urgent to do, strolled leisurely toward Yuanling City.
Jiang Youfu looked around curiously, trying to see how this Immortal Cultivation Realm differed from their own, while habitually taking out golden-fried beans from his pocket and popping them into his mouth.
All along the way, you could hear him crunching beans.
He didn't forget to take out a large handful and share some with Lin Xiao and Senior Liao.
Lin Xiao took it and happily joined him in eating.
Only Liao Pantu glanced at the inconspicuous little yellow bean, hesitated for a moment, and then refused, turning around and diving into the Soul-Nourishing Pendant.
Now that Jiang Youfu has Foundation Establishment, he is no longer very sensitive to hunger and thirst, because his body is nourished by Spiritual Power, preventing him from reaching those levels.
But Jiang Youfu would still take out the water bottle his father had prepared for him every fifteen minutes or so, tilt his head back, and take a sip.
He also asked Lin Xiao and Liao Pantu if they wanted a drink.
As they walked to the Yuanling City, Liao Pantu, Soul-Nourishing Pendant, had the illusion that they were on a spring outing.
After entering the city, Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu disguised themselves for fear of running into Liu Chun.
The clothes they are wearing were recently purchased for them by the sect's purchasing department.
Yuanling City seems to be more lively this year.
Many monks in the shops on the street were discussing a common topic this year— the Talisman Master Assembly.
This can be considered the grandest event in the Southern Spirit Domain Southern Spirit Domain for cultivators.
The Talisman Master Assembly has always been jointly organized by several major forces in the Southern Spirit Domain and North Spirit Domain.
One of them was the Heavenly Profound Sect, which Liu Chun had always wanted to join.
Of course, the Heavenly Profound Sect was only a co-organizer; the position of the main organizer belonged to the Talisman Sect of the North Spirit Domain.
The Heavenly Profound Sect has always treated those with exceptional potential as talisman masters with great favor.
Everyone in the Southern Spirit Domain knows that there are three ways to join the Heavenly Profound Sect: one is through the normal recruitment channels, entering through one's own excellent Spirit Root and talents; the other is through the special recruitment quotas held by the Aristocratic Clan families.
Thirdly, at this once-in-a-century Talisman Master Assembly, after passing the Talisman Master Assembly's assessment, one can obtain a title token for a Level Talisman Master.
This has resulted in the Southern Spirit Domain and North Spirit Domain having the most talisman masters, despite having few other professions.
However, while the quantity was large, the quality wasn't particularly high.
Because of the competition in the Talisman Master Assembly, people with real skills generally don't want others to learn their techniques.
Therefore, in the talisman master industry, most people keep their secrets to themselves, and almost none of them share their knowledge or exchange ideas with each other.
Talisman Sect and the others dared not even think about it.
But everyone wants to join the Heavenly Profound Sect.
Because there are higher-grade cultivation techniques, more powerful senior masters, and generous disciple stipends there. In short, the advantages are much, much better than those of Rogue Cultivator, Lineage, or small sects.
In the Southern Spirit Domain, compared to the profession of talisman master, other professions are relatively more harmonious.
Unlike the North Spirit Domain, where competition is fierce in other industries besides talisman masters.
Compared to the impoverished Southern Spirit Domain, which is located on the very periphery of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the North Spirit Domain is considerably more prosperous.
Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu had also heard a bit about the Talisman Master Assembly.
Jiang Youfu was squatting in front of a small stall, put down the small transparent bead in his hand, turned to look at Lin Xiao, who was squatting down beside him, and said:
"Brother Xiao, can we also go to that Talisman Master Assembly and take a look?"
Before Lin Xiao could answer, the stall owner, who was sitting on a small stool behind the stall, laughed and said:
"Hey, young man, the Talisman Master Assembly would love for all of you to go. The more people there are, the more famous and lively it will seem. Why can't you go?"
"However, the venue for the Talisman Master Assembly is quite far from here. If you really want to go, you should book your boat tickets as soon as possible."
Clearly, he didn't know that Jiang Youfu's question was about whether Lin Xiao had time and if it was convenient for him, rather than whether he was worried about whether he Talisman Master Assembly.
But that doesn't matter.
Hearing the stall owner's words, Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at him, asking:
"What kind of boat ticket are you referring to?"
