Taoist priest, let’s become immortals together!

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment and took back the silver.

He then dismounted, grabbed the Huangmie Sword, smiled faintly, and greeted the old man, "Old man, Xiaoyao Town is not far away. You must be tired after traveling all the way. Come... sit down with me at the teahouse."

"Okay, then thank you very much, Taoist Master."

The old man grinned, his face full of wrinkles that looked like barren land with gullies everywhere. His skin was rough, and it was obvious that he had been exposed to the elements.

People.

Life is quite hard.

Chen Yuan and his companions sat in the teahouse and ordered two large bowls of coarse tea. After waiting for a while, the teahouse vendor brought two coarse porcelain bowls and said, "My two guests, enjoy your meal."

Just as Chen Yuan was about to pick it up, the old man waved his hand, reached into his arms, took out a small box of coarse salt, crushed it with the chopsticks on the table, dipped a little, and stirred it in the tea.

"Hey, you can drink now."

"This is?"

"Coarse salt." The old man took a big sip of tea, swallowed it with satisfaction, and smiled through his leaky teeth. "Young Taoist priest, you rarely drink tea in teahouses. The tea here is different from the teahouses. Add a little coarse salt, and the taste won't be so bitter."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

I don't know anything about these.

I took a big sip and it was very bitter.

"This Xiaoyao Festival is the grand event that Xiaoyao Town has held for decades. Every year at this time, most people from dozens of towns within a hundred miles will come to participate. It's really lively."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Is it just a bigger temple fair?"

"It's more than that!" The old man's cloudy eyes seemed to light up as he continued vividly, "At the Happy Festival... you can actually meet the immortals and seek the secret of immortality, achieving eternal life!"

Chen Yuan frowned.

It is also an immortal, a way to longevity.

This...isn't it the same as the maggot evil fairy?

"So... father-in-law, you also want to live forever?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression gradually gloomy.

The old man shook his head. "Alas, we are just ordinary people. How can we possibly achieve immortality? I just want to think... If I can get a good price for the herbs I pick from the mountains, I'll be satisfied."

"There are kids at home waiting for me to go back and sell medicine to them."

As he spoke, the old man's expression gradually became bitter.

"Alas, it's a pity that the medicine master in Qingfeng Town was burned to death. The people in my family have been much better after taking his medicine. Recently, they have run out of medicine and their health has deteriorated."

Chen Yuan frowned.

Another person who took medicine.

Now that I have no medicine, my body’s life span is no longer being consumed, but my energy and blood are being depleted. However, being able to continue living... is already pretty good.

But the old man didn't know.

I thought Mr. Yao was some miracle doctor.

"Okay, the old man has to hurry on his way." Standing up, the old man said goodbye to Chen Yuan, turned around and continued pushing the wheelbarrow. Following the flow of people, he gradually walked towards Xiaoyao Town. His figure was hunched, and in the warm sunlight, he cast a long shadow.

……

In Xiaoyao Town.

Chen Yuan led the horse and walked among the crowd. There were noises all around him and the sounds of hawking were endless. The buildings on both sides of the street were hung with colorful ribbons and lanterns, swaying in the wind, and the sound of phoenix bells echoed. It was a lively scene.

A happy event.

It is indeed extraordinary.

"Hmm?" Chen Yuan, leading his horse, suddenly caught a glimpse of the people surrounding the house in three layers inside and three layers outside about ten meters away. He became interested for a moment, stepped forward and tried to squeeze in, which immediately displeased the big man in front of him.

"Fuck! Who is it?"

The burly man turned his head and shut up.

Turn around and get out of the way.

You can't mess with a Taoist priest holding a sword.

Everyone made way. Chen Yuan's face was slightly serious. He led his horse and walked into the crowd. One graceful figure after another came into view.

woman.

More than a dozen beauties in cool, scantily clad clothes gathered together like animals, trembling all over, with their hands wrapped around their chests. The next second, a long whip accompanied by a whistling sound hit the beauties fiercely.

Suddenly there was a sharp scream.

Bloodstains instantly appeared on the delicate arms.

Chen Yuan frowned deeply.

This is... selling people!

Xiaoyao Town...is so unscrupulous!

In public, they openly sell people as animals. Haha, they are really free and easy.

"What are you covering up? Put it down for me! Let all the guests enjoy it. If you choose one, I'll buy it for you. That would be your blessing! Hahaha!"

The bearded man who sold the woman and used the whip gulped down a large mouthful of liquor, his face flushed, and obscenities spewed out of his mouth like sewage, which made everyone's eyes hot and wandered over the woman.

"I am the daughter of Xiaoyao Tower. Today is the Xiaoyao Grand Meeting. Our boss specially selected you. This is the greatest reward. You must be very grateful to the boss."

Say it.

A beautiful woman who was originally a little shy.

After struggling, he actually opened his heart. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he completely lost all his concealment and endured the burning gazes. In his eyes... there was not pain, but... expectation!

Chen Yuan's heart tightened, and he thought to himself,

"What on earth is wrong with them!?"

Chen Yuan was completely confused.

Xiaoyao Tower.

What on earth is this place!?

"Hey, what's the price?!"

"Five hundred taels!" The bearded man stretched out five fingers and shouted hoarsely, revealing a mouthful of yellow-stained teeth. "How about it, cheap enough, right? Hehehe~"

"A bargain! The owner of Xiaoyao Tower is really righteous!"

Everyone's faces flushed and they rubbed their hands together.

I am already very excited.

I can't wait to sell one back.

"The feeling of the girl from Xiaoyao Tower, sizzling~ It really makes my bones soften. Even if it means losing ten years of my life, I would be willing to do it~"

A young man in brocade clothes with a sunken face and bulging eyeballs, with blazing eyes and a lewd smile on his face,

"Hehe~ Please ask the boss if he can cover the whole thing."

"Master Zhang, look at how weak you are, and you're still trying to take care of everything. If it's just one... I guess you'll be dead!"

Everyone laughed.

"Get out of here! I'm rich! What do you care about me?" Master Zhang was furious. He kept fanning himself with a folding fan with a picture of a charming woman on it, and put his left hand on his waist, cursing loudly.

"Master Zhang, please don't be angry. Give us some space. With your status... you can easily stay in Xiaoyao Tower all day. Just give us the returned ones."

"Well, this is still a human saying."

Master Zhang enjoyed it very much, sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Well, I'll just sell you one, and the rest... you can pick."

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, smacking his lips,

"Hey, don't tell me, there's a little wild horse that's come to Xiaoyao Tower recently. She's so fierce, sizzle~ No one has captured her yet. This young master covets her...very much~"

"Hehe, I heard of it too. It seems his name is... Guan Baizhu. This name is quite strange." Others echoed.

But as soon as he said this.

Chen Yuan was shocked.

Guan Baizhu.

Senior Brother Wu Chen’s sister.

It’s actually in Xiaoyao Tower!

I didn’t expect that I would know the whereabouts of Guan Baizhu as soon as I arrived in Xiaoyao Town. I must go to Xiaoyao Tower as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!
