Above the source of Tao

During the day, in the city...

Selling gourds...

"Boiled noodles, ten cents a bowl, not expensive and delicious."

……

In a tavern, two middle-aged strong men walked in from the door. They were about thirty years old, shirtless, dark-skinned, and obviously laborers.

Before they even sat down, one of them shouted to the waiter, "Waiter, cut two pounds of donkey meat slices for us to eat with sauce, and bring a pot of Snake Stone wine, good quality, don't bring that inferior wine to fool people, go ahead."

The waiter smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Our store has always been honest and has never served inferior food and wine to customers."

After that, he turned around and shouted to the inner room, "Two guests, two pounds of sliced ​​donkey meat, and a pot of top-quality snake stone wine."

The two sturdy men sat down at an empty table in the store.

"I heard that the Zhou family held a banquet at Jinshilou the day before yesterday, inviting all the famous families in the city to attend the wedding of his eldest son Kaiyuan Gu. City Lord Lin also went to congratulate him and said that the city lord received news that an immortal would come to Shanglin City to recruit disciples soon."

Another person asked, "Well, this is a major event that only happens once in a hundred years in Shanglin City. Who hasn't heard of it?"

Before the man could answer, the guest next to him said, "The city lord said he received news that soon, people from the Shangyang Sect will come here to hold a disciple-recruiting ceremony. It is said that all children between eight and thirteen years old can sign up for the test, and those who have Yuan Gu will be taken away to the sect for training. The eldest son of the Zhou family already has Yuan Gu, so he will definitely be taken away. I'm afraid that the power of the Zhou family has been further strengthened in Shanglin City."

"I also heard that City Lord Lin's youngest daughter also opened her Yuangu together with the eldest son of the Zhou family. They will definitely be taken away by the immortals. Two people who can cultivate to become immortals appeared in Shanglin City all of a sudden. This is really God's blessing for Shanglin City."

Is this true?

Why would I lie to you? My second uncle also received an invitation and attended the banquet the day before yesterday.

The eldest son of the Zhou family was handsome, dressed in green, and had an extraordinary temperament.

"By the way, Brother Wu, I see that your child is as muscular as you, very strong, and already ten years old. Do you want to give it a try?"

"That's for sure. If my kid has some talent and is noticed by an immortal, then he will be able to rise to prominence in the future."

Hahaha……

"Isn't your kid eight years old? Let him try it too. I think he's very smart and is good at chasing chickens and playing with dogs."

The two of them flattered each other, and soon the food and wine were served and they started eating.

……

call...

It was just a few meters away.

At this time, Yun Changan was trying hard to climb up the cliff using his hands and feet. He exhaled slightly, took a short break, pushed his feet hard upwards, flew into the air, and then grabbed the vines on the cliff and climbed up along the vines.

Finally, he succeeded in climbing up. Yun Changan sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Although this road was a bit steep, it was the only way out of the abyss.

After a cup of tea, he rested and his breathing became steady. He stood up and looked to the left. There was a small path. If he walked down this path, he would be able to return to the city.

An incense stick later, Yun Chang'an entered the city gate and saw a group of people discussing something around a notice board not far away. So he went over curiously, but the notice board was surrounded by people. With his small body, he could not squeeze through these adults who were much taller and stronger than him.

I only heard those people saying that the immortal from Shangyang Sect would come to recruit disciples soon. All children between eight and sixteen years old in the city could take the test to enter the immortal sect. If there were extraordinary people, they could also follow the immortal to the sect to practice.

Yun Changan's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, "Now that I have taken the Soul Transformation Pill and have a Yuan bone, I can also practice. I don't know what my aptitude is yet, but I can just join the Shangyang Sect's disciple recruitment. But the most important thing right now is to buy the medicinal materials that Fairy Shichen gave me, and polish my tendons and bones, so that my chances of entering the sect will be better."

Afterwards, Yun Changan left the crowd and walked towards the Rende Medical Clinic.

Soon after, they arrived outside Doctor Lu's clinic.

Coo coo coo...

I hadn't eaten all day, so I bought a few buns from the bun shop next to the clinic and ate them. Then I walked into the clinic and saw Doctor Lu lying on a rattan chair taking a nap.

Yun Chang'an walked over gently and patted Doctor Lu on the shoulder. When Doctor Lu opened his eyes, he saw a smiling child standing beside him.

"Changan, it's you. I've heard the news that your grandfather passed away. I'm deeply saddened."

Yun Changan's eyes turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, he wiped away his tears and said, "Thank you, Doctor Lu, I don't have any relatives anymore..."

Doctor Lu also sighed and continued, "If you don't mind, you can come to my clinic and be an apprentice. You are helpless now. Although you don't earn much here, it is at least a job to make a living. In the future, you will learn and have a skill. Although you can't make a lot of money, you won't starve."

Yun Changan's nose felt sore when he heard this, and he couldn't hold back his tears. He was very moved and said, "Thank you, Doctor Lu, for your kindness. But I heard that an immortal will come here soon to recruit disciples. I want to give it a try. This is also my grandfather's last wish, and I want to fulfill it for him."

Yun Changan added, "Doctor Lu, I came here mainly to buy some medicinal herbs. I didn't pay for grandpa's medical expenses before, so I'll pay them all this time."

After saying that, Yun Chang'an read out the medicinal herbs in his mind. Doctor Lu took them out and divided them into seven portions, totaling eight taels of silver.

Yun Changan looked at Doctor Lu in confusion, "There must be more than eight taels of these herbs, right?"

Grandpa's health had always been poor, and Chang'an had been buying medicine for him. He also knew that so many medicinal materials would definitely cost more than eight taels of silver.

Doctor Lu looked at Chang'an tenderly and said, "Your grandfather helped me a lot when he was alive. I'm afraid you don't have much money, so I'll just charge you the cost price of the herbs and forget about your grandfather's medical expenses."

"How can that be possible? Doctor Lu, you opened a clinic to make money. Grandpa also said that you can't just take other people's things without giving something in return."

The two of them tried to shirk the responsibility, but finally Doctor Lu couldn't resist Yun Chang'an and accepted the ten taels of silver.

Yun Changan also left the pharmacy with the medicine at ease.

Doctor Lu looked at Changan's departing back and sighed.

"Poor child!"
