Starting from iron smelting

The future may be full of unknowns, but Lu Xiuyuan embarked on a new journey with gratitude for life and expectations for the future. And the cabin, where he left a tear, will become a place of memory that he will treasure forever.

Lu Xiuyuan took firm steps, with the cabin behind him, which had always been his shelter in the mountains. The feeling of entering the door for the first time made him a little excited, as if he was going to explore an unknown world. The direction of Beishan Town was right in front of him. This was the first time he stepped out of the mountains and went to a more populated place.

Beishan Town is easy to spot, located in front of the towering Beishan Mountain. From a distance, it looks like a silent guardian overlooking the land. Lu Xiuyuan is full of curiosity about the unknown. He imagines that Beishan Town may be bustling and prosperous, different from the mountains and wilderness. He is even more worried that he may not be able to integrate into a more complex society.

As Lu Xiuyuan's footsteps gradually faded away, he looked back and saw the cabin moving further and further away, as if it had become a landscape in time.

When he looked back, he felt reluctant to leave. The kind old hunter and the quiet mountains left a deep impression in his memory. Lu Xiuyuan thought to himself: "Grandpa, wait for me to come back. When I explore the new world outside and become a strong man in this world, I will come back to pick you up."

As he got closer to Beishan Town, he passed through a dense forest, listened to the birds singing, and felt the tranquility of nature. This was a scene he could not experience in the mountains, and a sense of surprise emerged in his heart. Perhaps this journey was not only to find answers, but also to gain an understanding and comprehension of nature.

Finally, Lu Xiuyuan stepped into Beishan Town, a place that was completely different from the mountains. The streets were bustling with people, shops lined up, and people came and went in a hurry. The bustle of Beishan Town formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the cabin. Lu Xiuyuan seemed to be in a whole new world.

Beishan Town is a small town on the northern border, but it is small but complete. When Lu Xiuyuan stepped into this bustling land, he was shocked by the scene before him.

The town's market was bustling with people, and vendors were setting up stalls along the road, each displaying a wide variety of goods. Lu Xiuyuan walked by and saw a dazzling array of mountain products displayed on the roadside, as if he had entered a mysterious treasure house. The vendors called out to Lu Xiuyuan enthusiastically, showing him all kinds of rare treasures that he had never seen before.

There was an endless stream of people walking around the town, chatting with each other, and the sounds of laughter, trading, and shouting intertwined into a lively symphony. Lu Xiuyuan felt the liveliness, as if everyone was the weaver of the story of this town.

Along the way, he saw stalls selling fresh fruits, and the crystal clear stream sparkled in the sun. The vendors enthusiastically recommended various delicacies to him. Lu Xiuyuan tasted the unique fruits of this land and felt the fresh sweetness.

There were also vendors selling handicrafts made from Beishan specialties. The stalls were filled with colorful handicrafts, and Lu Xiuyuan was attracted by the exquisite craftsmanship and couldn't help but stop to admire. And further away, someone was selling mysterious herbs. Those unknown plants exuded an alluring aroma, which made Lu Xiuyuan stop.

The vendors enthusiastically explained the effects of each herb. Lu Xiuyuan walked to a herb stall, where a variety of plants were displayed, exuding a rich fragrance. The vendor greeted him enthusiastically, introducing each herb and its magical effects.

The vendor introduced enthusiastically: "This herb is 'Qingxin Grass', it can help people relieve their worries and improve sleep." Lu Xiuyuan became curious when he heard it. He looked at the green grass with leaves growing on it. He bent down and smelled it, and immediately a fresh fragrance spread through his nose.

Next, the vendor showed him a purple plant with a strange shape, saying that this flower was called "An Shen Hua" and could relieve tension and help people fall asleep. Lu Xiuyuan noticed that the petals had a faint fragrance that seemed to make people feel peaceful in an instant.

There is also a plant with a strong aroma on the stall, called "Blood-activating Grass", which can promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Lu Xiuyuan gently stroked the herb and felt a slight warmth coming.

In another corner, there was a plant called "Millennial Ganoderma Lucidum" that attracted Lu Xiuyuan's attention. The vendor immediately came up to introduce it, saying, "This Millennial Ganoderma Lucidum usually grows in dark and humid valleys. The cap of this Ganoderma Lucidum is scallop-shaped, about the size of a palm, with a smooth and tough surface and a layer of golden fine sand. The main body is dark brown, gradually changing to pitch black from top to bottom.

You can tell at first glance that this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum of mine is a bargain. Ordinary people can prolong their lifespan if they take it, and cultivators can improve their cultivation level if they take it. This kind of thing is hard to come by by chance. If you see one that you like, just grab it quickly, otherwise it will be snatched away by someone else in no time. I can give it to you at a lower price, just five thousand spirit stones.

After hearing what the vendor said was so outrageous and exaggerated, Lu Xiuyuan put his hand on the "Millennium Ganoderma Lucidum" and suddenly felt a very delicate feeling on his hand, and a lot of powder was stained on his fingertips.

Lu Xiuyuan thought this was strange. If they were really so good, why didn't anyone buy them? Then Lu Xiuyuan said, "Shopkeeper, your goods are very good, but I don't have any spiritual stones. Let me save some spiritual stones first and come back to buy them in a few days."

The stall owner knew he couldn't cheat, so he snorted and turned to greet other people. Lu Xiuyuan thought to himself: "Luckily I got away. Although this is just a small town with simple folk customs, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. You should be more careful in the future."

Lu Xiuyuan walked around Beishan Town, but didn't see any monks as the old hunter said. After walking for a while, he felt hungry and took out the dried meat in his bag and ate it. "This is not a solution. I have to find a job here and make long-term plans." Lu Xiuyuan thought.

As he walked, Lu Xiuyuan walked away from the market and came to a quieter street. He walked aimlessly when he suddenly saw a job recruitment notice posted on the door of a store.

It said: Li Er Chai Store is now hiring a short-term worker, with food and accommodation provided, and salary negotiable. Lu Xiuyuan thought this store was okay, and it didn't say that any special skills were required, so it should be okay to work there for a short period of time, so he knocked on the door and entered the Li Er Chai Store.

"Sir, what kind of wood do you need?" the waiter asked enthusiastically.

Lu Xiuyuan replied, "There is a job recruitment notice posted at the door. I am here to apply for a job, not to buy anything." The waiter's enthusiasm obviously faded. He agreed, then turned his head and shouted into the house, "Boss, the applicant is here."

After a while, the door curtain was opened, and a purple potato-like person came out, wearing a purple robe, a purple round hat, a high counter, and a round face. Zishu said: "I am the shopkeeper here, Li Er, you look quite strong." Then Li Er came over, twisted my arm, and then walked into the inner room, asking me to come in to discuss salary matters. Lu Xiuyuan also opened the curtain and walked in.
