Getting Acquainted

The two had met just a few days ago, so they didn't have much to say to each other.

Liu Chun chatted casually for a couple of minutes, then began to ask him:

"Yaoguang, do you know about the Mortal Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoguang nodded as he arranged the pelts he had recently hunted on the shelf:

"I've heard of it. My dad mentioned it to me a few times before. Occasionally, some guests also come from the Mortal Realm."

So Liu Chun said to him:

"Didn't I tell you before that I've now sought refuge with a friend? Actually, that friend is from the Mortal Realm."

Hearing this, Su Yaoguang was somewhat surprised. He turned his head, frowned, and looked at Liu Chun with disapproval, saying:

"Why are you so foolish as to go there? I've heard that the Spiritual Qi in the Mortal Realm is extremely thin, making it very difficult for cultivators to achieve success. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. It's not like I can't accommodate you here. Don't always think that you can avoid troubling me, but you're ruining your own path to cultivation."

Because Liu Chun had only said that he had sought refuge with that friend, but he had not said that he had gone back with that person. Moreover, in Su Yaoguang's memory, the Mortal Realm was extremely far away, so far away that most ordinary cultivators did not even know which direction the Mortal Realm was in.

Therefore, he did not believe that Liu Chun had been to the Mortal Realm Mortal Realm returned from it in the short span of a year; he only thought that Liu Chun had been wandering in the Immortal Cultivation Realm with that friend.

That's why this saying exists.

As he spoke, he carried all the bottles and jars piled at his feet to the shelf by the door and arranged them neatly. Then he took out a large wooden board and wrote on it: [Superior Talisman Ink Beast Blood for Sale].

He then said to Liu Chun:

"Moreover, I've heard that the Mortal Realm is extremely far from our Immortal Cultivation Realm. If you go there, it won't be easy for you to come back. Almost every cultivator in the Mortal Realm with any skill is desperately trying to get back to our Immortal Cultivation Realm. Don't get carried away and actually follow someone to that godforsaken place."

Unlike Yuan Qing, who was only a teenager, Su Yaoguang was a man who had lived for decades and ran a shop, meeting all sorts of people every day.

Therefore, he heard more rumors about the Mortal Realm and had a more Mortal Realm impression of it.

Seeing his words, Liu Chun smiled helplessly, unsure how to explain, and could only say:

"Don't worry, I haven't and won't give up on myself. Otherwise, why would I have gone to the Talisman Master Assembly? I can't explain these things clearly right now, let's talk about them another time."

However, my friend is indeed a good person. As you know, he comes from the Mortal Realm and is new to the area, so he wants to get to know and interact with more cultivators from the Immortal Cultivation Realm. I was thinking that since you're not good at making friends and don't have many opportunities to do so, I could introduce you two. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Liu Chun watched his old friend's continuous work of organizing the goods. For some reason, he suddenly recalled Lin Xiao's expression yesterday when he heard that his old friend ran a general store. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said:

"Besides, he's in business too, so who knows, you two might even have business dealings in the future."

Su Yaoguang was not interested in anything else. He only wanted to run the shop he inherited from his father well, ensure his family's livelihood, cultivate diligently, and urge his son to cultivate diligently. He had no interest in anything else.

Originally, Liu Chun said he wanted to introduce him to a friend. At first, he wasn't very interested, but he thought to himself that this person was Liu Chun's savior, so it wouldn't hurt to get to know him.

But upon hearing Liu Chun mention that they might have cooperation or transactions in the future, he paused in his actions, then turned to look at Liu Chun and said:

"What kind of business could someone from the Mortal Realm possibly do?"

It wasn't that he looked down on cultivators in the Mortal Realm, but rather that the few Mortal Realm cultivators he had encountered were all dirt poor, and they only came to him because his shop was the smallest on the street and they thought his things were the cheapest.

Therefore, he subconsciously felt that cultivators in the Mortal Realm probably didn't have much wealth.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chun was speechless for a moment.

He knew more or less about the sect's future plans, but it was clearly not something he could reveal to others, so he carefully told Su Yaoguang:

"He must have some reason to act this way. Besides... he's my savior, and I'll probably be working for him from now on. Don't you want to get to know him?"

Su Yaoguang helplessly shrugged and nodded:

"Let me think about it. Since you've put it that way, I definitely need to get to know this friend. I'll also have him come over and familiarize himself with the place. If I ever don't want to take you with me anymore, I can just have someone drop you off here."

And so, after Liu Chun reached an agreement with Su Yaoguang, he went back to give Lin Xiao his answer.

Lin Xiao, having received a reply, didn't hesitate. That afternoon, he carefully disguised himself and followed Liu Chun to Su's General Store, bringing Jiang Youfu with him as well.

After all, they weren't just wandering around aimlessly, and now that Yuanling City had recovered its Origin Qi, those of them who were in normal condition weren't so conspicuous.

Seeing the tiny shop in front of him, barely wide enough for one person to stretch their arms and no more than four meters deep, with shelves piled high with goods all around, Lin Xiao finally understood why Liu Chun called it a 'small general store', and why one shop was barely enough to support his family of several people.

However, Lin Xiao didn't feel any disdain in his heart.

What a joke! In the beginning, their Lingxian Sect only had a small thatched hut.

That shop is so much more luxurious than their thatched hut.

Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu followed Liu Chun inside.

Upon meeting, Su Yaoguang was somewhat surprised.

He carefully observed Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu for a long time.

Upon examining the two individuals before him, no matter how he looked at them with his experienced eyes, he couldn't discern any adult in either of their gazes; they were undoubtedly teenagers around ten years old.

At most, the boy in front looks a bit more mature and thoughtful, but his actual age is definitely not that high.

Moreover, neither of them seemed to possess any cultivation level.

Could it be that these two are actually cultivators from the Mortal Realm?

Su Yaoguang turned his gaze to Liu Chun with a puzzled expression.

It's no wonder he was puzzled and surprised.

Indeed, the few cultivators he had ever seen who could come from the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Cultivation Realm were all at least at the Golden Core stage, and they were all quite old.

These two...

If they were native Immortal Cultivation Realm, and from Lineage with a lineage that could provide them with items to conceal their cultivation level, then he would find it somewhat believable.

Liu Chun was naturally aware of his old friend's sharp eye for people.

However, he couldn't really explain the situation of his two young sect leaders and elders, so he pretended not to see the questioning look in his old friend's eyes and solemnly introduced them to each other.
