This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

The group continued their pursuit, but no one knew where they had gone.

Lian Xue was unaware of what had happened to Lu Yaorao and the others; she was currently just quietly cultivating.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lianxue helped tidy up the room.

At this moment, Elder Mo walked over and said, "Lianxue, here are the spirit stones you asked me to help you exchange."

Old Mo handed a bag to Lian Xue. It was a cloth bag, bulging with an unknown amount of spirit stones.

Old Mo said, "Here are five hundred spirit stones. That should be enough for you when you go to town. If you need more, you can exchange them yourself."

Lianxue smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Mo."

"No need for that. The price of beast cores is lower here, and the higher the level of the talisman, the more spirit stones you can get..." Old Mo explained in detail.

“Grandpa Mo, since I’ve entrusted the beast core and talisman to you, I’m naturally at ease. There’s no need to go into so much detail. Here, I’ll use these to buy you some wine.” Lian Xue interrupted Grandpa Mo and handed him another hundred spirit stones.

"Little girl, you're looking down on me. How can I accept your spirit stones?" Old Mo shook his head and refused.

"Grandpa Mo, please accept it. Otherwise, Lianxue will feel bad about it," Qingshu also began to persuade Grandpa Mo.

“Yes, Grandpa Mo, you should keep it.” Lian Xue’s eyes were clear and her face was serious.

"Then I'll accept your kindness, good child." After saying that, Old Mo took the spirit stone and put it into his sleeve.

Looking at the little girl in front of him, with her bright eyes and a blessed expression, he knew she would surely achieve great things in the future. In that case, he would accept the spirit stones.

"I'm heading back now. You two can go to town on your own. If you walk fast, you might make it in time for lunch," Old Mo said with a smile.

"Grandpa Mo, take care."

"Grandpa Mo, take care."

The two said in unison.

Looking at the two of them with a kind expression and an unwavering smile, Madam Bai said, "Old Master Mo, please take your time."

"Alright, no need to see me off. Go about your business." With that, Old Mo walked away.

"Mom, we're leaving too!" Qing Shu said with a giggle and a coquettish smile.

"Alright, alright, don't stay out too late. Come back early. Lianxue, keep an eye on your sister Qingshu, or she'll go off somewhere crazy." Bai Shi pretended to be angry, pushed Qingshu's hand away, and instructed Lianxue.

"Okay, Aunt Bai, I will definitely keep an eye on Sister Qingshu." Lianxue nodded to indicate that she would do so.

"Alright, you two can go now, otherwise I'll worry if it gets too late." Bai looked at the two of them, still somewhat uneasy.

"Then we're leaving, don't worry," Qing Shu said, waving her hand as she walked forward.

"Aunt Bai, we'll be back soon, don't worry." Lianxue, led by Qingshu, also started walking outside.

Qingshu pulled Lianxue along as fast as she could, as if she was afraid her mother would change her mind and stop her from going.

Bai smiled as she watched the two children running around, then shook her head and went about her business.

Before long, the two had run far away, leaving Xiahe Village, crossing the Xiahe Bridge, and heading towards Fengyu Town.

Lianxue once asked Old Mo if there was a Treasure Pavilion in Fengyu Town, and Old Mo said yes.

Therefore, one of her purposes in going there was the Treasure Pavilion, because she couldn't leave on her own. If she could convey her message through the Treasure Pavilion, her senior sister would feel more at ease.

If Qi Nianbei leaves Guisen, he will definitely return to Duobaoge. Although it will be difficult for the news to reach the headquarters, this is at least his only chance.

Having made up their minds, the two ran very fast, resting whenever they got tired, and then continuing on their way without incident.

Finally, after three hours, the two arrived at Fengyu Town.

This city is very large. The words "Fengyu Town" are written on the city gate in a vigorous and powerful style. It is clear that the person who wrote the words is a martial artist, and it can be seen that this person has extraordinary courage.

“Lianxue, look at the words on this city gate. These were written by our town mayor himself. I heard from Old Mo that the mayor was a great hero who fought bravely on the battlefield in his early years. Later, he retired here and became the town mayor.” Qingshu pulled Lianxue and pointed to the words on the city gate with one finger.

"I never imagined that the town mayor here was a general. His courage, spirit, and dedication to protecting his country are truly admirable." Lian Xue's eyes were full of admiration and respect.

Qing Shu continued, "Yes, the mayor is a very good person. Everyone who goes to Ghost Forest for training must enter and leave through here."

Lianxue looked at the town in front of her. The battlefield was vast, with mountains on the left and fields on the right. The crops were lush and green, and as far as the eye could see, it was a verdant expanse.

Lianxue said, "I see. This shows the prosperity of Fengyu Town. It seems that the town mayor is not bad."

“That’s right,” Qing Shu said proudly.

Two guards stood at the city gate, one holding a gun and the other a knife, on the left and right respectively.

As you enter the city, you see trees lining the front of houses, neat buildings, and clean, tidy streets.

"The security here is very good; there won't be any robberies or murders. Of course, once you leave this city, no one will care," Qing Shu kept explaining to Lian Xue.

"And another thing! There are very few poor people here, because the mayor allows anyone to run a business. After all, it's close to Ghost Forest, and as long as you're willing to work hard, you can sell anything."

Moreover, those who go to the Ghost Forest are all highly skilled, and they often bring herbs, elixirs, talismans, minerals, and other items to sell. Those in need will buy from each other, so there is a special street here called the "Goods Street."

"Of course, there are also clothes, jewelry, and some defensive items," Qing Shu continued.

"Wow! This place is so wonderful! You can sell your possessions freely without being robbed or chased. It's truly a treasure trove!" Lian Xue exclaimed in admiration.

"Right, I think so too. Even if there are some minor frictions, it won't have any impact. The city guards are still very good." Qing Shu only knew what she heard from others; she had only been here once with her mother.

"Where should we go first?" Lianxue couldn't help but ask.

"Ah! Well, you're looking for Duobaoge, right? Then we should go to Taohuo Street too. There's a branch of Duobaoge there." Qingshu pointed into the distance.

Lianxue looked in the direction Qingshu was pointing and saw neatly arranged houses and some trees. She had no idea where Qingshu was referring to.

Lianxue: "Okay, let's go to Taohuo Street and Duobaoge."

The two walked forward for a long time, and finally saw Taohuo Street in front of a cluster of houses after turning a corner.

The place is crowded with people, with shops and stores on both sides, and even people selling various items on the ground.

The two entered the street, where vendors were constantly calling out their wares along the roadside.

"Come, young lady, take a look at mine. These things all belong to immortals. They're very affordable. Come and have a look!" a middle-aged man selling jewelry and minerals called out.

"What's so great about his? Come here, little girl, look at these clothes of mine. They're all defensive. Girls should dress up nicely. Come and take a look, they're definitely a good deal." A beautiful woman beckoned the two of them over.

"No need, we have things to do, we'll be back soon." Lianxue waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it while dodging passersby who might come at any moment.

Qing Shu kept shaking her head, her gaze following the various stalls.

Because there were vendors on both sides of the road and a lot of people, the two of them walked for an hour before finally squeezing their way to the front of Duobao Pavilion.

However, there was a long queue in front of Duobao Pavilion, so the two of them had no choice but to wait in line as well.

Although Lianxue possessed Qi Nianbei's jade pendant, she did not wish to use it.
