The clear water flows eastward into the Leiyang Lake, forming a long and narrow sandbar at the river mouth.

It is about 7,000 miles long, but only 920 miles wide at its widest point.

There is a country on the island, named Rouyun.

The area of ​​Rouyun Kingdom is not large, and it only has a two-level structure of counties and prefectures.

The villages and towns further down were also blank areas of imperial power.

After sitting in a teahouse in Ancheng County for half a day, Chen Yu knew that he had come to the right place.

Rouyun has been a country for 1,200 years and has suffered many disasters.

Sixty years ago, monsters as big as buildings led various aquatic creatures to attack the shore.

It is said that even a county town was captured and all the residents in the town were devoured by monsters.

The monster then turned to attack other places again, and no one in the entire Rouyun Kingdom could stop it.

Just when the country was in danger, a sword master stepped forward.

Under the heavy rain, a sword light was seen flying freely.

The hideous and terrifying monster suddenly turned into blood and flesh all over the sky, falling down.

Then the sword light appeared again, killing dozens of accompanying monsters.

The others were terrified upon seeing this and quickly fled into the water, thus averting the evil.

Afterwards, some wealthy people organized themselves to express their gratitude to the swordsman.

However, no trace of it could be found, and even the royal family was very secretive about it.

The common people had no way to repay the emperor, and they only thought that the Rouyun Kingdom was favored by immortals.

What surprised Chen Yu was not the so-called Sword Immortal, but most likely just a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

But the longevity of the royal family of Rouyun Kingdom is truly a miracle.

In the secular world, a dynasty that can live for 300 years is considered long-lived. However, with the protection of martial arts masters, the reign of Da Ning was only 600 years.

A thousand-year-old country like Rouyun must have stronger military support.

Either they are innate, or they are cultivators from generation to generation.

The Rouyun court is secretive, so they must know something.

It is even possible that the "Sword Immortal" was of royal origin.

Rouyun is tens of thousands of miles away from Daning, and the language and customs are very different from before.

However, the comprehension and control of the foundation-building cultivators are far beyond that of ordinary people. It only took Chen Yu half a day to simulate the posture of Rouyun man vividly.

At this moment, he put all his pets into the space, wore a white shirt, and sat in the corner of the teahouse.

He held a plain fan in his hand, waving it from time to time. He only lacked a servant boy and a maid, otherwise he would have looked like a young man from an aristocratic family who had traveled here.

This image is not bad now, quite like a young traveling merchant with extra money at home.

The tea drinkers in the restaurant were in high spirits, chatting about one strange story after another.

Rouyun is surrounded by water, and people have to deal with all kinds of aquatic creatures.

There is a large natural harbor in the north, which is rich in aquatic products, especially clams.

Most of the fishermen in the county make a living by collecting pearls here.

Rumor has it that just two years ago, an immortal passed by here.

Seeing that the fisherman was holding a precious pearl, he exchanged it for a white jade stone.

Later, the Rouyun royal family heard the news and spent a huge sum of money to buy the jade from the fishermen.

The tea drinkers chatted for a while, without any envy towards the fishermen in their eyes.

How can a child survive long-term if he carries money with him in a busy city?

Rouyun is a country of great magnitude, and in order to show respect to the immortal, it bought the stone at a relatively reasonable price.

Now that the whole world knows about this matter, the fishermen and even the villages where they live will soon be in trouble.

As they were talking, they talked about a big event that was going to happen soon, and even Chen Yu couldn't help but listen carefully.

Rouyun is a vassal state of the four major sects in Yuxi, and the immortal sect regularly recruits disciples here.

This grand event is held every five years, and ordinary people call it the Ascension Conference.

This year's Ascension Conference will still be held in October. Children aged four and above and under ten can come to test their spiritual roots, and those who excel will enter the immortal gate to practice.

The child from Ancheng County who ascended to heaven five years ago is now thirteen years old. He might take the opportunity to return home to visit his relatives.

But cultivating immortals is too far away for mortals.

Besides, I am already past the age of fantasy, so unless there are children or nephews of the right age at home, no one would care about this issue.

Soon someone changed the subject and talked about the county magistrate's daughter who was about to get married.

It is said that the daughter is really a heavy weight. She has not been out for a few years, so I am afraid that she has become even heavier.

The county magistrate's son-in-law actually has a good appetite.

I don’t know if he can still enjoy the glory and wealth after looking at that face all day long.

The guests' conversation became more and more mundane, causing laughter inside and outside the museum.

Chen Yu left the teahouse and prepared to find a place to stay. Although he usually stayed in the space, he couldn't perform a magic trick in front of everyone every time he went in and out.

The Rouyun Kingdom also uses gold, silver and copper as currency, but their purchasing power is slightly lower.

Chen Yu put dozens of taels of silver in the space, but he basically didn't use it over the years.

However, the housing prices in the county town are very high, and he does not plan to buy a house. After all, he will not live here for long.

I didn’t expect the price of this inn was not low. It cost more than one or two taels of silver to stay for one night.

This is not an ordinary place. Trading decades-old elixirs for gold and silver might attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

Chen Yu thought about it and decided that renting a house was the best option.

The requirements are not high, just a yard and trees.

I didn't expect it to be like this. The rent is also very high, at least twelve taels of silver per month.

Chen Yu suddenly thought that although the elixir could not be sold, no one would doubt the jade.

He has been practicing the Five Elements magic and has mastered its application to perfection.

Although I can't turn stone into gold, it is easy to turn mud into jade.

This is not a trick, but a real change in its internal structure, making it no different from naturally generated jade.

Chen Yu was not greedy and the jade he produced was only of medium quality to avoid causing a sensation.

Then he came to a jade pavilion and sold the freshly-made jade.

However, the price was not satisfactory. More than a dozen jade stones of various shapes, weighing five or six pounds in total, were exchanged for only 120 taels of silver.

The perception of the Foundation Establishment cultivator was very sharp. After observing his expression, he found that the price was not lowered too much.

This made Chen Yu suspect that many cultivators had also encountered this situation, which lowered the price of jade.

After getting the money, he found a new dental office and prepared to rent a courtyard.

The brokerage firm quickly found the house that Chen Yu needed. The lease period was tentatively set at three months, to be paid in full in one lump sum, and no credit was accepted.

Chen met the scene and took a look. It was a two-story building with a well and a camellia tree in the yard.

There was a small ditch outside the yard, and the water was a bit dirty, which made him not very satisfied.

But it doesn’t matter. This is not a place to live for a long time, and I can’t find a better place for the time being.

The rent is also more expensive, fifteen taels of silver per month.

The original price was twenty taels, but Chen Yu thought the place was too remote and thought ten taels of silver was not enough.

Afterwards, both sides took a step back and approached their psychological price.

He moved into the courtyard that night, waiting for the Ascension Conference to be held in more than two months.

Chen Yu was not very interested in the immortal cultivation sects, but he wanted to see if there was any information that could be extracted.

He planned to use this as a starting point to get a glimpse of the entire picture of the world of immortal cultivation.
