Sugar Figurine Old Immortal
Upon hearing this, the old man chuckled.
"Not at all, not at all. This is all thanks to His Human Emperor."
"His Human Emperor is Zhenzhen a genius sent from heaven. Every book he has written has immeasurable research value."
"Even something as simple as a sugar figurine, if successfully developed, can ensure a person's wealth and prosperity."
"Which of these things sold on the street wasn't created after His Human Emperor discovered them?"
"Our good life is all thanks to His Human Emperor."
The old man who made sugar figurines spoke with a smile.
As it turned out, he was absolutely right.
These strange little things on the street are basically all recorded in His Human Emperor's books.
Hearing the old man's words, Ye Xuan chuckled but remained silent.
"There are three of us in this group, could you please make three for us, sir?"
The old man smiled and agreed.
Then they began production.
This is a process of turning the rotten into the miraculous.
Even for someone like Ye Xuan, who transmigrated from another world, seeing a sugar figurine in Primordial World was quite a rarity.
As the old man began to get busy, the children who had been watching gathered around again.
Looking at the sugar figurines in the old man's hands, everyone looked on with longing.
Looking at how adorable the children were, Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask a question.
Do you want to eat a sugar figurine too?
The children just looked but didn't answer.
"If you want to eat some, how about I buy you a few?"
But the children shook their heads.
"Grandpa has already made us a sugar figurine. He makes one for us every day. We've finished today's one. Grandpa's back hurts a bit, so we'll give him a back massage later."
Su Changkong was slightly surprised.
Then I looked at the smiling old man.
I couldn't help but feel a little moved.
This is the warmth and humanity he has always been searching for.
The people are kind-hearted, and the children know how to be grateful.
The adults were generous and gave each other gifts.
Judging from this situation, it seems that people are indeed leaving their doors unlocked at night.
Ye Xuan took several sculpted sugar figurines from the display shelf and handed them to the children.
"Take these and eat them, it's on your behalf, Uncle."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the children immediately beamed with joy.
They lined up, each receiving a sugar figurine, and then walked away.
The old man quickly made three incredibly cute little sugar figurines.
Ye Xuan held it in his hand, overjoyed.
He then took out something and handed it to the old man.
"Sir, I don't really have much money here, but I do have a medicinal herb. Let's exchange it for a sugar figurine."
This medicinal herb was obtained by Ye Xuan through deception from the Jade Void Palace.
It was utterly insignificant to Ye Xuan.
The old man took it in his hand and was stunned.
Looking around, one could see an extremely rare and precious ginseng.
This ginseng looked as if it were still fresh, incredibly bright, and exuding a strong aroma.
It really cheered him up.
This so-called ginseng is probably about the thickness and length of his forearm.
Countless whiskers hung down, clearly indicating that it was an extremely precious treasure.
A ginseng root this size must be at least tens of thousands of years old, no matter how you look at it.
This ginseng, in particular, even grew limbs.
It's an absolutely rare and extraordinary treasure.
The old man was taken aback by this sight.
He quickly got up.
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"
"Such a miraculous medicine is extremely rare and hard to come by. Even highly accomplished cultivators would find it difficult to acquire such a treasure. I am just an ordinary old man; what merit do I possess to be worthy of such a treasure?"
"Young master, please take it back immediately! You absolutely mustn't!"
Ye Xuan's generosity clearly surprised the old man.
As he said, even immortals who cultivate immortality might not be able to possess such a treasure.
What merit or ability does he possess?
Ye Xuan waved his hand with a smile.
"Old sir, this is what you deserve. Now that it's been given to you, how can you take it back?"
"But you must be careful when you consume it. It's best to start with the beard, as the medicine is too potent. Don't be greedy."
He then left with a smile.
Ye Xuan took three sugar figurines and gave one to each of Wushuang and Daji.
It tastes incredibly sweet.
The old man was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
Later, following Ye Xuan's instructions, the old man began consuming ginseng starting with the ginseng rootlets.
They've actually started to rejuvenate.
As the old man consumed the food, he eventually cultivated himself to the realm of True Immortal.
Only then did the old man realize the importance of this treasure, and he shared it with his family.
The whole family actually became immortals; it was like ascending to heaven in one step.
From then on Chaoge had one more old man selling sugar while riding a donkey backwards.
The old man was always smiling, and he would give away a piece of candy to anyone who wanted it for free, never asking for money.
Surprisingly, it became a living symbol of Chaoge, and later its fame endured for eternity.
That's a story for another time, of course.
After Ye Xuan and Daji Wushuang ate the candy, it indeed tasted incredibly sweet.
But I still felt a little unsatisfied.
They also ate many snacks on the street.
As I was strolling around, I heard a commotion ahead.
Following the gaze, they discovered a gaunt young man carrying an equally thin woman on his back, running wildly ahead.
However, several burly men were hot on their heels.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
What's going on?
The man in front of them was running towards them, shouting frantically.
"My lords, spare us! My lords, spare us! Please spare this lowly servant's life! Let us live! Xiaoqing is terminally ill; this lowly servant only wants to save her life!"
The young man, who was fleeing for his life, was already in tears.
Why does God refuse to give them a way out? Why does He force them to their deaths?
The hatred in his heart made his eyes turn bloodshot.
However, the thugs chasing them had no intention of letting them go.
"You two damned slaves! Your master spent a considerable sum of money to buy you, and you two didn't even know that the security guards were running away? And you think you have the nerve to run away?"
"If your master hadn't bought you and given you a meal, you would have starved to death long ago. How dare you run away! You are truly despicable."
Several burly thugs quickly caught up with the fleeing man.
The fleeing man panicked and, without warning, fell to the ground.
The woman on his back rolled to the ground, barely breathing.
"You damned slut, you dare to run away! Take her back and await your master's judgment!"
The burly men, their eyes gleaming with malice, immediately began punching and kicking the young man.
