The pawnshop owner stretched his neck, watching Xuanqing carry the silver away.

Only then did excitement show on his face.

“Treasure, what a treasure! If only the Taoist doesn’t have the money to redeem it, this treasure will belong to me!”

The boss closed his eyes, rubbing the water cup against his face, looking utterly intoxicated and inextricable.

…..

On this side.

Xuanqing carried the 300 taels of silver, left the pawnshop, found a secluded place, and stored it in the System Backpack.

In ancient times, one catty equaled sixteen taels. A saying of half a catty and eight taels is half a catty in modern society, which is eight taels in ancient times.

You have to admit.

This System Backpack is so convenient. With the weight of eighteen catties of silver, there is no feeling after putting it in the backpack.

Soon after.

He found an inn in town to stay at.

Xuanqing was surprised to find that there was already something called “chili pepper” in this era.action

You have to know.

According to history, chili peppers were not introduced to the Central Plains until the Ming Dynasty, while the world of Journey to the West was clearly in the Tang Dynasty.

Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing, Tang and Ming Dynasties, were separated by two dynasties.

However, on second thought.

Xuanqing couldn’t help but laugh, realizing that his thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding.

How could this kind of mythological world, where a somersault cloud is 108,000 miles, be measured by ordinary history?

There is no such thing as the Monkey King making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace in history.

Understanding this, he no longer gets entangled in historical issues. No matter what he sees in the future, it all makes sense, after all, this is a world of mythical games.

….

At the inn’s counter.

Xuanqing took out a bean-sized piece of broken silver from his bosom and placed it on the counter.

“Open an upper room and bring some food!”

“Okay~”

“Upper room costs one hundred wen per day, I’ll take five coins from you and settle the remaining balance when you check out!” The shopkeeper weighed the silver bean with a steelyard balance.

…..

This so-called upper room is actually just a room with a living room and dining table.

“Sir, your meal is ready.”

“Bring it in.”

Perhaps it was due to the upper room, priority was given to the kitchen, and not long after the room was opened, the waiter brought the food over.

“Sir… Taoist priest, braised eggplant, braised pork, a pot of sake, and rice, I’ll put them on the table for you.” The waiter entered the room and introduced them skillfully.

After finishing announcing the names of the dishes, as the waiter was about to leave.

“Wait a minute!”

Xuanqing took out a few loose copper coins from his bosom and asked, “I want to ask you something, do you know any famous mountains and sights nearby?”

As the saying goes, newcomers must pay homage to the mountains. Besides, he had tried to practice in this kind of town, and the speed was very slow, which was less than one-tenth compared to the Five Elements Mountain.

So he wanted to find a famous mountain and sight, pay a visit to the mountain, and also try to practice with the spiritual qi of the blessed land.

At this moment.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, looked at the copper coins on the table, and enthusiastically said, “Oh, Taoist Master, you really asked the right person.”

As a waiter in an inn, he often hears various news in his daily life.

“There are no Taoist temples nearby, but there is a Guanyin Zen Temple with an old monk who is said to be very…”

The waiter quickly slapped his mouth in front of the Taoist, saying that the Buddhist Zen Temple was effective, how could he say such a thing!

“I’m sorry, I misspoke. In addition to this temple, there are two mountains. One is called Black Wind Mountain, and the other is called Azure Dragon Mountain.”

“Guanyin Zen Temple, Black Wind Mountain… Azure Dragon Mountain?”

Xuanqing’s heart stirred.

You know, the episode in Journey to the West he watched as a child, Guanyin Zen Temple, left a deep impression, especially the demon Black Bear Essence in it.

Hmm… that black bear could even steal kasaya robes.

Combining this with the rumors about Black Wind Town, could it be that the Black Bear Essence lives on Black Wind Mountain?

Then what kind of monster is on Azure Dragon Mountain?

“By the way, Sir, the grocery store sells maps for only five copper coins. I can buy them for you.” The waiter licked his lips.

He enjoyed serving these out-of-town customers the most, even having a partnership with the grocery store. Anytime he went to buy a map, he could receive a copper coin commission.

“Good, give me a map as well!”

Xuanqing nodded and took out some change from his pocket, “Take the rest as a reward.”

With these words,

The waiter’s eyes lit up and he bowed immediately, “Thank you, sir! I’ll go and buy the map right away, please wait a moment.”

With that, he took the money and ran out.

….

After the waiter left,

Xuanqing ate his meal, considering his plans for the future.

First of all, he could be sure that Guanyin Zen Temple was most likely the one from Eighty-one hardships, and Black Wind Mountain was the place where the Demon Black Bear who steals kasayas resides.

As a Taoist, it’s not appropriate for him to go to the Guanyin Zen Temple, so he plans to visit Black Wind Mountain and pay a visit to the Black Bear Essence.

Moreover,

The Black Bear Essence is quite interesting. As a demon, not only does it not eat people, but it is also fond of Buddhism. In the end, it is even taken in by Guanyin to guard Mount Luojia as a Mountain God.

That being said,

Although the Black Bear Essence is a wild demon, it’s far better than those demons sent down by the immortals and Buddhas. Dealing with it at least ensures safety and it won’t revive easily.

…..

Before finishing his meal,

There was a knock on the door, and the waiter who went to buy the map had returned.

Xuanqing took the map and instructed the waiter not to let anyone disturb him.

It was getting late, so he decided to head to Black Wind Mountain to visit the Black Bear Essence early tomorrow morning.

Practicing in this town is too slow, so he plans to let the game character sleep and return to the real world.

According to the ratio between the two worlds, staying in the real world for an hour would make ten hours pass in the game.

“Exit the game!”

[The game has exited]

….

Back in the real world,

Xuanqing immediately looked at his phone screen, which displayed the moment he exited the game.

He set a fifty-minute alarm.

Then Xuanqing lit a fire and cooked a bowl of noodles, quickly filling his stomach.

Ding ling ling~ The alarm rang.

After some thought,

Since he was going to ask for a favor and borrow a place to cultivate, it wouldn’t be right to go empty-handed. It was proper to bring a greeting gift.

Xuanqing took a copy of “The Supreme Profound Treasure of The Infinite Measure of the Uppermost Wonderful Scripture for Delivering People” from the Taoist temple and put it into the System Backpack.

Having decided to visit the Black Bear Essence, it’s only natural not to go empty-handed.

“Enter the game!”

….

Black Wind Town.

Yue Lai Inn.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

Leaving the room, he went to the hall outside to have a bowl of porridge to fill his stomach, then left the inn and headed to the marked Black Wind Mountain on the map.

….

Black Wind Mountain.

There’s a Black Wind Cave on the hillside with a black bear demon inside.

This moment,

The Black Bear Essence is entertaining its close friend Young Master Bai She in the cave.

“Haha, Little Brother Bai She, it’s been a long time since we last met, and your cultivation has improved a lot~” The Black Bear Essence spoke with a muffled voice.

Bai She Essence modestly laughed, “Not at all, Junior Brother, I’ve been swallowing natural treasures every day and can’t catch up with you just cultivating casually. I really envy your achievements!”

“Hehe~ No, no!” replied the Black Bear Essence with a silly laugh.

At this moment,

Suddenly,

The Black Bear Essence furrowed his brows.

“What’s wrong?” Bai She Essence asked doubtfully.

“A guest has arrived!”
