Chapter 43 Immortal Wood City
Perhaps it was because the experience of the hot spring was so much better than any cleaning method, but Xianyu had a very comfortable sleep and woke up very early.
The sun was still a pale gold, and the early morning hours were exceptionally quiet.
While inside the tree hole, Little Stone Treasure granted Salted Fish, Purple Cloud Golden Beetle, and Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast the permission to come and go as they pleased.
Xianyu played with Xiaoshibao in the Originium Space for a long time. Estimating that Yaoyao should be waking up, he told Xiaoshibao that he had to go out.
Little Stone Treasure clung to Salted Fish's leg and wouldn't let go. Salted Fish repeatedly promised to come back in half a day, and only then did Little Stone Treasure let the fish go and leave.
Not long after leaving the space, Shen Yao woke up and happily went to pat the bell-shaped wood.
Hearing the burps coming from the jingling wood, the salted fish laughed heartily.
Shen Yao glanced at Xianyu several times, feeling that she got up so early just to take pictures of Dinglingmu.
The servants quickly brought up the toiletries, and Xianyu happily went to wash up.
After using the Fragrant Fruit, Xianyu breathed on Shen Yao: "Ha... Yao Yao, smell it, isn't it fragrant? Isn't it more fragrant than the Cleansing Technique?"
Shen Yao nodded in agreement: "It smells good!"
Salty Fish was very happy; she began to agree that monks should know how to enjoy life.
Stepping out of the guesthouse, the outside was already bustling with noise.
Like in Xizhen, in addition to the various shops and stores, there are also small stalls set up in the gaps between the shops on both sides of the street.
Knowing that her food supplies were running low and that there might be some unexpected events on the way to Xianmu City, Shen Yao decided to go and buy some food first.
Unlike the daily barbecue and fruit stalls in Minshan, the shops in Lishui County sell a wide variety of foods.
All kinds of meat rolls, fruit wine, pies, kebabs, pearl balls...
Pearl dumplings are made with pearl powder, which is kneaded into balls and filled with flowers, fruits, or meat pieces.
There is another very delicious snack called Yangsi'er, which is made from the leaves of the Yang tree. It is about half a finger wide and the length of a forearm. It has a crispy texture and is also very filling.
I randomly picked a pie shop and asked the price. One pie cost ten coins, but the pie was slightly larger than those from Xizhen.
Fortunately, it's less than twice as expensive as Xizhen, not as outrageously expensive as the guesthouse which is three times more expensive.
Shen Yao emptied the county's stock of ordinary food and fruit wine.
In less than a day, the entire Lishui County knew that two domineering female immortals had arrived: one was aloof and indifferent, while the other was cute, charming, and extremely beautiful.
After purchasing the food, Shen Yao and Xianyu were about to head to Xianmu City.
As Shen Yao passed through North Street, she saw a Yunli signboard with three large characters inlaid with seven-colored gemstones: Fairy Robe Pavilion.
Thinking about it, I only have three sets of clothes, and they all belong to Senior Sister Bai Luo.
Looking again at the blue clothes that the salted fish's scales had turned into, Shen Yao asked, "Fish, will you feel uncomfortable if you put away your scales and wear a new set of clothes?"
The salted fish said, "My master used to make me a dress with seashell tips, and it wasn't uncomfortable to wear."
With the phrase "salted fish" in mind, Shen Yao confidently took Salted Fish to buy clothes.
The clothes and footwear in the world of cultivation are all made using magic, so they automatically adjust to fit the body when worn.
Shen Yao immediately took a liking to the fairy-like colorful dress hanging on the clothes rack. It was dazzling, flamboyant, and gorgeous, just right for her now that she had become rich.
It has been a year and eight months since we fled from Linfeng Lake. I don't think the Yunxia Sect Master would come to Rongzhou for revenge. Besides, Xianyu and I can just borrow a route from Xianmu City to Fenzhou.
After thinking of countless reasons to convince herself, Shen Yao raised her hand and pointed to Caiyi: "This is it."
I bought another colorful dress of the same style but a different color, to match Xianyu's outfit.
Two sets of colorful clothes for 360 coins, cheap!
She and Xianyu then browsed other dresses, all of which were much cheaper than the colorful dresses. In the end, they almost emptied the Fairy Dress Shop.
Just like at the Immortal Bathing Pool, the shop assistant quickly notified the manager. When the manager arrived, Shen Yao and Xianyu were trying on clothes. The manager personally greeted them and, after they finished choosing, voluntarily rounded down the price.
This time, 8,500 "perfect coins" were distributed.
The manager of the Fairy Garment Pavilion couldn't stop smiling and insisted on escorting them all the way to the Northern Gate: "If you two immortals ever come to Lishui County again, you must inform me, and I will make proper arrangements for your food, clothing, lodging and transportation."
After exchanging pleasantries with Hu Changtian, Hu Changtian smiled and asked Shen Yao for her communication token.
Neither Shen Yao nor Xianyu had a communication token.
Hu Changtian assumed that the two fairies didn't fancy him, so he wisely refrained from asking any further questions and politely saw Shen Yao and Xianyu off.
Watching the two fairies leave through the Northern Gate, Hu Changtian happily returned to the Fairy Garment Pavilion.
He wasn't upset about not getting the communication token. He owned the Fairy Garment Shop, and in those two hours, he had already achieved three months' worth of sales.
Most cultivators wear silk garments, and there aren't many outsiders in Lishui County. The two fairies bought all the valuable clothes that had been displayed in his shop for a long time.
Hu Changtian felt that today was truly a stroke of good fortune.
After Shen Yao and Xianyu left Lishui County, thick smoke began to rise from the fissure in the ground of Lishui Ridge that was covered with thorny beasts...
There is a direct road from Lishui County to Xianmu City, which takes only five hours by full-speed flight.
Calculating the time, it's noon now. If we keep going without stopping, we can reach Immortal Wood City in the third quarter of the hour, just in time to close the gate before the time of the closure.
Thinking that the sisters could travel even faster by riding together on a flying magical artifact and using their spiritual energy together, Shen Yao and Xianyu decided to ride together on a large tree branch.
Thinking that since they were in the air anyway, and Little Stone Treasure was so small that even if a passing cultivator didn't notice, Shen Yao let Little Stone Treasure come out to play.
Little Stone Treasure was very happy; this was its first time playing in the sky.
Little Stone Treasure was very excited, perched on the edge of the tree branch looking around. Shen Yao gently pulled it back towards the tree trunk to prevent it from falling.
The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle went to the Source Stone Space again. The sect leader said that the Ten Perfect Stone Pit was rich in natural energy, which would be beneficial for the growth of the Golden Spirit Source Beast.
Moreover, the sect leader also needs to quickly recover his energy so that he can find a new vessel as soon as possible.
Another reason is that the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle will reach adulthood in another year and is gradually becoming intelligent, so it is no longer appropriate for the sect leader to continue using it as a carrier.
Shen Yao could almost see two souls fighting inside the golden beetle's core, and that's how she understood.
Seeing the top of the square array of Immortal Wood City in the distance, Shen Suyao sent Shi Bao back to the Source Stone Space.
Looking at the sun, it was about a quarter past noon. The sisters riding together were indeed a little faster, but not by much.
When Shen Yao arrived at the South Gate, she found that there were quite a few cultivators entering Immortal Wood City. It had been a quarter of an hour, and there was still a long queue.
The gatekeepers of Xianmu City have made their checks even more stringent, not only verifying bloodlines but also comparing them to blueprints and taking photos of faces.
Every cultivator entering the city must register, specifying their purpose for visiting Immortal Wood City, whether they intend to stay long or short, and when they plan to leave.
The entire procession moved very slowly.
Shen Yao had already cursed the True God Sect to the heavens in her heart.
Having a koi fish means good luck. Shen Yao and Xianyu had just entered the boundary gate when they heard the gatekeeper shout, "The boundary gate is closed. Those who want to enter the city, hurry up tomorrow morning."
Those cultivators who missed the chance to enter the city could only dejectedly stay temporarily in the makeshift sheds erected near the boundary gate.
