Immortals Step into Heaven

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Zheng Yuan took the sword, his eyes slightly red, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Dad, for giving me the sword."

Zheng Chunnian looked at Zheng Yuan and smiled, saying, "Silly boy, you have grown up now."

A man's ambition is boundless, and Dad couldn't be happier! But outside, people are treacherous and full of evil spirits, not as simple and honest as the villagers. You must remember, those who show unwarranted kindness are either treacherous or thieves. Even those whose thoughts are etched on their faces can't be that bad!

You have to be more careful and discerning!

Thank you, Dad. I will keep your teachings in mind.

Well, I feel relieved if you remember this.

Zheng Yuan returned to the room and placed the sword on the bed. He took out the old ginseng that he and Xiao Hei had dug in their early years and hid it under the bed. He gave it to Zheng Chunnian and said, "Dad, this was mine before."

I accidentally found this old ginseng on the mountain. I don't know how long it will take for me to return, so I won't be able to fulfill my filial duty to my father. I'll leave this old ginseng with my father!

Zheng Chunnian took the wooden box, opened it, and took up the old ginseng to examine it carefully. This old ginseng must be at least 500 years old, so it is worth a lot of money. After saying this, he closed the wooden box and handed it back to Zheng Yuan.

Speaking of which, you'll need some money when you're away from home. I don't spend much money in this village, and with my blacksmithing skills, I'm not starving, and I can save a little every year. You should keep this ginseng with you and exchange it for some silver for your travels. That way, I won't worry about you running out of money while you're away.

Looking at his father's determined eyes, Zheng Yuan didn't insist. This old ginseng was worth a lot of money. Keeping it with his father might not be a good thing. If his father took it to sell it himself, it might cause some trouble. So he took back the wooden box.

Zheng Yuan found Ling'er and was about to say goodbye to her. Xiao Hei ran to Ling'er when he saw her. Ling'er hugged Xiao Hei and touched his head lovingly and said, "Xiao Hei, why don't you grow up? You only eat but don't grow taller?"

When Xiao Hei heard Ling'er's words, he lowered his head and growled softly, as if in protest. Xiao Hei's appearance made Ling'er smile coquettishly. Ling'er, who was dressed simply, has become more beautiful and lovely over the years.

When Ling'er heard that Zheng Yuan was leaving, she couldn't help but burst into tears!

Brother Xiao Yuan, how long do you plan to be back?

I don’t know when I will be back, maybe I won’t be back in a short time.

Can Brother Xiao Yuan take Ling'er with him?

The journey is long and not safe.

Ling'er looked at Zheng Yuan reluctantly and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Xiaoyuan, you must come back to see Ling'er in the future. Don't forget Ling'er. Ling'er will wait for you to come back and take Ling'er to see the outside world."

Zheng Yuan walked up and touched Ling'er's head. "Silly girl, Brother Yuan will definitely come back to see you and will never forget you. Look how much you've cried. If someone doesn't know, they would think I bullied you."

When Ling'er heard Zheng Yuan's words, she laughed.

Zheng Yuan also told Ling'er that when he was not around, she should visit her father more often and help take care of him if anything happened to him.

Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan, Ling'er will visit Uncle Zheng more often.

Seeing Ling'er agreed, Zheng Yuan felt warm in his heart! The two chatted for a while and asked Xiao Hei to play with Ling'er.

Zheng Yuan then went to see Ergou. Daxiong said goodbye to them. Ergou and Daxiong were surprised to hear that Zheng Yuan was going out to explore the world. They offered to see him off, but Zheng Yuan said no.

Zheng Yuan was also afraid that everyone would come to see him off, and he felt sad and reluctant to leave!

At dawn in the early morning, Zheng Yuan took Xiao Hei out of the village without telling anyone.

Not long after Zheng Yuan left, a big man stood at the entrance of the village and looked out at Yaoyao, his eyes seemed to hope to see something.

At this time, a little girl also came to the village entrance without saying a word. She stood beside the big man and looked out of the village together. The little girl's eyes were slightly absent-minded. I don't know what she was thinking! After a long time, the big man moved, turned around, looked at the little girl, and whispered, "He's gone."

Let’s go back too!

The little girl nodded slightly!

The two of them, one big and one small, were walking on the way home, but they seemed a little lonely!

Zheng Yuan naturally didn't know about this scene. Zheng Yuan and Xiao Hei walked on the mountain path for a long time, but didn't see a single person on the road. The place Zheng Yuan wanted to go was the nearest city to the village, Yucheng, which was about five hundred miles away from the village.

This distance was nothing for Zheng Yuan, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. Zheng Yuan also wanted to see if there were any traces of immortal cultivators in Yucheng. Seeing that no one was around, he ran with Xiao Hei. Whenever they saw someone, they would stop, walk slowly, and ask for directions.

I let myself go when there is no one around. As I get closer to Yucheng, there are more and more pedestrians on the road.

Zheng Yuan held Xiao Hei in his arms and walked with the others, not knowing how far they were from Yucheng. He looked at a tall, honest-looking man in his thirties, dressed in brocade, and walking beside him and asked, "Brother, how far are we from Yucheng now?"

It's more than ten miles from here to Yucheng. My dear brother, this is your first time in Yucheng, right?

My name is Liu Yun, you can call me Liu Yun!

Yes, Brother Liu, this is the first time for Zheng Yuan to come to Yucheng. As his family is in poverty, he wants to go to Yucheng to make a living.

Liu Yun was a little surprised! This kid is quite brave and is so young to go out and explore the world. Brother, do you have any relatives to seek refuge with in Yucheng?

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly. This guy asked me what I meant, but he still replied with a smile, "Brother Liu, I have no relatives in Yucheng. I am alone."

Liu Yun noticed the change in Zheng Yuan's expression and explained, "Little brother, you might not know this yet! It's hard to find work in Yucheng! You can't find any good work without people you know."

Zheng Yuan said a little embarrassedly, Brother Liu, I'm a newcomer and don't know much about Yucheng. Please don't blame me. Can you tell me about the situation in the city?

"It's okay, that's easy," Liu Yun chuckled. Yucheng has two major clans, the Li family and the Wang family. The Li family is in the silk business, while the Wang family is in the grain business. There's also a major escort agency, the Huwei Escort Agency, but the Huwei Escort Agency is just a branch in Yucheng.

Zheng Yuanyi looked curious! Is Brother Liu's Tiger Escort Agency very powerful? How many semicolons does he have?

Liu Yun smiled and said, "It's okay! Huwei Escort Agency has top-notch experts in charge, and it has dozens of branches in Yunzhou!"

Zheng Yuan was a little dazed. The place is called Yunzhou. How powerful is Brother Liu, the first-class master?

Liu Yun said with longing that a first-rate master can defeat a thousand people, a second-rate master can defeat a hundred people, and a third-rate master can defeat dozens of people.

"Brother Liu, are you a second-rate expert?" Zheng Yuan asked cautiously.

Liu Yun's face was a little surprised. How do you know that I am a second-rate master?

"Brother Liu, I guessed it. He's really a second-rate master!" The two chatted along the way, and Zheng Yuan learned from Brother Liu that he was an escort from the Huwei Escort Agency. Yunzhou is one of the two states in Yunlan Country.
