Chapter 522 Opening A Shop In The Imperial City, Refining The Heart In The Mortal World (2)
Chapter 522 Opening A Shop In The Imperial City, Refining The Heart In The Mortal World (2)
The shops on both sides were also brightly lit, illuminating the entire Imperial City which was as bright as day.
The streets looked livelier.
The Jade Alchemy Mill, Imperial Garden Street.
Zuo Lin's expression was tense as he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
The person sitting in his carriage was a big shot whose status was unimaginable!
In their circle in the city, helping to lead the way and getting some spiritual rocks in return was a daily affair. There were many stories about people becoming rich overnight.
For instance, Luo Wu was leading a scholar from the Nancai Sect who was looking for a relative. Unexpectedly, he couldn't find him. The scholar panicked and collapsed on the spot.
Luo Wu was warmhearted. Not only did he save the scholar, but he also helped the scholar find a place to stay.
Later on, the scholar took the imperial examination and became a government official. Luo Wu's family followed him to Nanyuan County, and from then on, they did not have to worry about food and clothing.
This kind of thing happened a few times a year.
Can it be that my opportunity has arrived? Zuo Lin thought.
However, the big shots he met today were different from those scholars.
This person today was someone that even the eldest master of the Xiao family had to welcome!
He knew that the sky was already dark. It would be best if he could find the location tonight.
His efficiency determined whether he could satisfy this big shot.
Zuo Lin increased the carriage's speed to the maximum. It took him more than an hour to travel across the upper city and reach the Jade Alchemy Mill in the middle city.
Imperial Garden Street was a long street that connected the upper city to the lower city. It spanned a hundred miles and cut across the middle city.
Moon Viewing Town was named after its proximity to the Immortal Moon Lake and the view of the moon's reflection in the lake.
This place was a little further from the upper city and closer to the lower city.
Arriving in Moon Viewing Town, Han Muye spread his divine sense.
The sound of the zither seemed to reverberate in the surroundings and disappeared in a flash.
With a smile, Han Muye got out of the carriage, raised his hand, and a medium-grade spiritual rock landed on the carriage frame. Then he slowly walked forward.
100 spiritual rocks!
This big shot is really generous.
Zuo Lin hesitated for a moment but did not take the spiritual rocks.
He drove the carriage to the street and craned his neck to see where Han Muye was going.
Han Muye stopped in front of a small shop.
This shop was very new. It was messy with all kinds of wooden shelves and platforms.
What greeted him was the fragrance of bamboo.
A tall Shao Datian was holding two wooden shelves in one hand. Just as he turned around, he saw Han Muye standing at the door.
"Bam!"
The wooden shelves fell to the ground.
"Young, young master…"
Mu Wan, who was tidying up the broken bamboo branches, turned around.
Han Muye slowly walked forward and leaned very close to Mu Wan. Then he reached out and hugged her soft body.
Drifting in the void world for three years, traveling with Mu Wan in the Southern Wasteland, and parting ways at the Guan Estuary, Han Muye had lived and thought like a mortal.
Together with Mu Wan, he witnessed the happiness of Shao Datian and Cuicui. Together, they witnessed the joys and sorrows of Qi Ziyu and the fish demon, Feng Jiu.
In the mortal world, there were some things that one would miss if one did not do anything or fight for them.
Lying in Han Muye's arms, Mu Wan's face was covered in tears.
For some reason, she couldn't stop her tears.
Cuicui reached out and pulled Shao Datian out of the shop quietly.
Zuo Lin walked to the door and asked a few questions in a low voice. Then he turned around and left.
In the messy little shop, only two people were left hugging each other.
At this moment, Han Muye was not the powerful cultivator who dominated the void, and Mu Wan was not the female cultivator with extraordinary alchemy talent who was obsessed with refining pills.
They were just two mortals with tender sentiments.
"I'm back."
Han Muye spoke softly.
Mu Wan hummed softly and took a step back with a red face.
She did not dare to look up into Han Muye's eyes.
"Senior Brother, I-I rented this shop. What do you think?"
Suppressing the shyness in her heart, Mu Wan turned to look around.
The shop had a storefront. Its interior was quite spacious.
It looked like it had room for fixing up a few wooden shelves.
"This is the middle city, not far from the lower city. It's more convenient to sell medicinal pills here.
"The largest alchemy cultivation place in the Imperial City, the Cloud Alchemy Mill, is not far away.
"There's a small courtyard behind this shop. There's a patio room and a quiet room."
Han Muye smiled and followed Mu Wan around the shop before going to the courtyard at the back to take a look.
The courtyard was not big, and was cluttered with messy wooden shelves and bricks.
The row of rooms at the back looked rather dilapidated.
"Cuicui, Datian, and I were here the past few days. I knew you would come."
When he pushed open the door to the patio room, there was nothing but a small bed.
"I've also rented the shop next door for Cuicui and Datian to run a restaurant.
"They don't have a place to stay in the Imperial City. They are my companions here."
Han Muye didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
Mu Wan turned to look at the empty room and smiled. "Really, I've never stayed in such a place.
"This is also the Central Continent's Imperial City, a paradise-like place.
"I wonder what the mortals in other places are like."
Han Muye's return made Mu Wan talk a lot more.
She happily introduced the room, the small courtyard, where flowers would be planted, and the thatched pavilion.
She had a smile on her face as she planned the layout of the shop.
After leading Han Muye around the small courtyard and room, Mu Wan blushed and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother, you can stay next door to me."
With that, without waiting for Han Muye to speak, she left to take the bedding to make the bed.
Shao Datian and Cuicui tidied up the shop in front and closed the door.
That night, Han Muye stayed in this empty small house.
At this moment, he only felt peace in his heart.
Was this how Huang Six felt when he wanted to be a mortal?
The secular world is really a place of warmth and tenderness…
