Li Qiye took Zhang Baitu straight to Rainbow Pavilion in Tinglong City. After entering Rainbow Pavilion, he rented a small courtyard and settled down.
Caihongxuan is the largest inn in Tinglong City. I heard that it is also the only inn in Tinglong City. In fact, Caihongxuan is the only inn in Caihong City. Whether it is Tinglong City or Longjing City, in Caihong City these The only inn in the city is Caihongxuan.
Why there is only one inn like Caihong Xuan in Rainbow City is unknown to outsiders. Some people say that Caihong Xuan is the property of Caihong City and is not allowed to be interfered with by outsiders. Others say that the boss behind Caihong Xuan is the Jian family, and the Jian family and Rainbow City has a very close relationship.
As for the inside story, outsiders don’t know. All in all, Caihongxuan is the largest inn in Caihong City.
Although Caihongxuan is the only inn in all the cities in Rainbow City, Caihongxuan is reasonably priced and can accommodate thousands of guests. Therefore, outsiders have no objection to an inn like Caihongxuan.
"Young and old men are innocent, the price is fair, and it is a golden sign that is 80 million years old." After Li Qiye settled Zhang Baitu, he went out to buy some medicinal materials. When he passed the lobby, the shopkeeper in front of the counter made a solemn promise to the guests staying in the hotel.
The shopkeeper is an old man who looks to be in his late teens. He is wearing light gray clothes. His appearance is not outstanding, but he is very diligent. The calluses on his palms are enough to prove his diligence.
Looking at the shopkeeper, Li Qiye couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a very interesting smile.
At this time, the shopkeeper had also finished serving the guests. Seeing Li Qiye smile, he also said with a smile: "Is the officer going out, or are you ordering something?"
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and said: "How can you prove that your Rainbow Pavilion is the 80 million-year-old golden sign?"
"Hehe, hehe, hehe." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Sir, you can tell by looking at my age that I am not a liar. Look at my gray hair. It is the result of countless experiences. The suffering of the years, you think so, why should I come out and lie at my age?"
Looking at the shopkeeper, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile. He said leisurely: "Did you have fun?"
"Are the officials talking about me having a happy life?" the old shopkeeper said happily: "It's okay, just so-so. At my age, I don't have anything good to do. It's just about food and clothing. And I'm an old man, It’s also full of descendants.”
"After living all these years, what else can I do? I have enough food and clothing, and children and grandchildren around my knees. This is enough. I am satisfied after living this old age." The old shopkeeper said happily.
Li Qiye looked at the old shopkeeper for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded, and said with emotion: "Yes, what do you want in life? Having food and clothing, and having descendants around your knees, this is indeed enviable."
"What do officials want in life?" The old shopkeeper was a very talkative person and said with a smile.
"What is the picture?" Regarding this question, Li Qiye couldn't help but whisper. After a while, he looked up at the old shopkeeper and said with a smile: "I only want one answer, and one answer is enough!"
"The answer." The old shopkeeper couldn't help but rub his calloused hands on his clothes. Said: "In life, who knows what the case is."
Li Qiye smiled at the old shopkeeper's words and said, "It's because no one knows what the answer is. That's why we need an answer." After saying that, he turned around and left the inn.
"What is the purpose of life?" After leaving the inn, Li Qiye couldn't help but sigh softly. In a distant era, in Rainbow City. There was once such a person who asked him such a question.
Someone once said that heaven and earth are too far away, and there is nothing wrong with being an ant crouching between heaven and earth. This is just like what the old shopkeeper said, if you want to have enough food and clothing, and your descendants are around you, what's wrong with that?
Li Qiye was silent. He walked for a long time and returned here, thinking about this issue again. A sentence that many people cannot forget.
Heaven and earth are too far away, so there is nothing wrong with being an ant lying between heaven and earth.
For a moment, Li Qiye couldn't help but lose consciousness. A man of immense wisdom chose peace in the end.
"No matter how far away the world is, no matter how long the end of the world is, I only need an answer. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will still be like this in the future!" Finally, Li Qiye raised his head and looked at the distant place, His gaze was extremely firm, nothing and no one could shake him.
Finally, Li Qiye smiled freely and walked into the street, blending into the crowd.
Rainbow City is very big, so big that it is difficult to measure. Although there is little land in the Tianling Realm, there are still big cities. The cities in Rainbow City may not necessarily be the largest cities in the Tianling Realm, but the cities in Rainbow City are definitely among the top cities in the Tianling Realm.
As the first stop of Rainbow City, Tinglong City is very lively. It can be said that Tinglong City is the largest trading market in Rainbow City, and can even be called one of the best markets in the Tianling World.
Here, there are sea monsters from the Dragon Demon Sea, enchanting spirits from the deep ravine sea, and even tree tribes from the Blue Ocean Sea.
Here, in addition to many shops, there are also many monks setting up stalls on the streets or in corners. Some monks set up stalls here. Some are selling their own treasures, while others are looking to buy elixirs. There are all kinds of things. All are available.
It is precisely because Tinglong City is one of the best markets in the Dragon Demon Sea that many monks gather here. Here, someone once said that as long as you have enough money, there is nothing you can't buy.
Li Qiye bought some needed medicinal materials, which were all used on Zhang Baitu. These medicinal materials were not precious. It was precisely because they were not precious that Li Qiye went out to buy them.
Li Qiye planned to destroy all the Dao foundations of Zhang Baitu's archway and let him start all over again, because what Zhang Baitu had learned was too complicated, and the mess was simply harmful to him.
Of course, if a young monk destroys the Dao foundation, it does not necessarily need to be cultivated. Zhang Baitu has nothing to do. He is not young, and his blood is weak. If there is no elixir to nourish the Dao foundation, Zhang Baitu will destroy the Dao foundation. , it is easy to die.
After Li Qiye prepared all the medicinal materials, he opened a furnace to refine the medicine and turned the furnace into a cauldron. He melted all the medicinal materials, burned the dregs, and refined the essence.
Finally, the fire started to flow, rippling like soup. For a moment, it was difficult to tell which was the essence of the elixir and which was the fire.
Under Li Qiye's instruction, Zhang Baitu stepped into the furnace. The fire was like a living thing, slowly immersing into Zhang Baitu's body, and all the essence of the elixir also immersed into Zhang Baitu's body. body to protect his heart.
"Remember, calm down your blood and keep your mind clear of distracting thoughts." Li Qiye said instructing.
For a young monk, destroying the Dao Foundation would not necessarily require such trouble. However, Zhang Baitu was so old and his vitality was so weak. If he was not careful, he could be killed. Li Qiye had no choice but to use such a method.
Zhang Baitu followed Li Qiye's instructions, kept his mind tight, restrained his blood, and felt the essence of the elixir flowing through his body.
At this moment, Li Qiye struck like lightning, instantly shattering the Dao Foundation. Hearing a "click", Zhang Baitu's Dao Foundation instantly shattered. In the midst of the stone fire and lightning, Zhang Baitu's body trembled. , and almost screamed, but he still endured the pain.
Li Qiye's move was extremely fast and accurate, and his Dao Foundation was completely shattered in an instant. At this time, the fire that penetrated Zhang Baitu's body incinerated the Dao Foundation fragments completely, leaving no residue, no residue any trace.
For a moment, Zhang Baitu, who had his Dao base destroyed, looked like an ordinary mortal who had never practiced before.
At this time, the essence of the elixir that protected Zhang Baitu's heart began to integrate into every vital part of Zhang Baitu's body, every muscle and bone, and every joint, nourishing Zhang Baitu.
It is precisely because of the accumulation of such elixir essence that Zhang Baitu's condition has stabilized. Otherwise, other people at this age would immediately become a hunchbacked old man once their Dao foundation was destroyed.
At this time, Li Qiye removed the fire and Zhang Baitu landed. At this time, he did not change much from before, except that his hair was a little paler. Although he had lost the unique aura of a monk at this time, his face was rosy, and he looked a bit like an old man with childish face and black hair.
Such a physique, as a mortal, can be said to be very strong, which is very rare.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Li Qiye protected his heart and nourished his body with the essence of the elixir. Otherwise, with his Taoist foundation destroyed, he would have been an old man who needed help even to walk.
At this time, Zhang Baitu felt that apart from the fact that his eyesight was not as good as before and he could not walk as fast as a monk, he didn't have many shortcomings. Of course, there is still a difference between becoming a mortal and being a monk.
"Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with being a mortal." Being a mortal again, Zhang Baitu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
For Zhang Baitu, there is a sense of loss, but it is not that serious. After all, he is very shallow. If you are a strong person, once you become a mortal, there will definitely be a huge gap, and some people may even be unable to bear the gap.
"Thank you, Master." After coming back to his senses, Zhang Baitu hurriedly bowed to Li Qiye.
Li Qiye waved his hand gently and said calmly: "You don't need to feel too much. It won't be long before what you lost will come back."
"Young Master, are you going to teach me my skills?" Zhang Baitu couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this and asked hurriedly.
Although Zhang Baitu knew that this was the end of his life, that his qualifications were too poor and his training was completely incompetent, in fact, he never gave up and kept persevering.
Now that he is a mortal again, Li Qiye's words have once again ignited Zhang Baitu's hope. (To be continued.)
