Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

As the distant woods and mountains drew closer, the night did not fade with time; instead, it grew even deeper.

"Next is the Ghost Realm, but there's nothing to be afraid of," Bai Xingling reminded her, then shrugged.

Li Junsu raised his head, and faint black mist slowly emerged before dissipating.

The Ghost Realm, the world of ghosts, is harmful to ordinary people due to its yin and ghostly energy.

Tao Yuanming's later departure from Taoyuan was largely due to his failing health.

But as the white tiger charged into the ghost realm, the black aura suddenly dissipated, and the surroundings returned to normal.

"Are you interested in becoming a Taoist priest? In the future, when you exorcise ghosts, you can just stand in someone's house and everything will be fine," Bai Xingling teased as she watched the ghostly aura vanish without a trace.

What level is the remnant spirit on Li Junsu's body?

That's a ruthless demon who dares to reach into the Rakshasa Sea.

What level is Peach Blossom Paradise? How dare it sit at the same table as Rakshasa Sea?

Taoyuan is only fit to sit at the children's table.

Moreover, the ghostly aura on the outside is merely an overflow of Peach Blossom Spring.

"Oh, so you've already retired from the world of Taoism," Bai Xingling teased.

The primary duty of a Taoist priest is to exorcise demons and monsters. Although they may also physically harm people, it is relatively rare.

But Li Junsu would not let go of any kind of monster or human being.

Letting him become a Taoist priest would be considered washing his hands of the past.

Li Junsu ignored Bai Xingling and walked towards the riverbank according to the information in the document.

Bai Xingling followed Li Junsu, and the two soon arrived at the riverbank.

Sure enough, there was a small boat moored by the river, all alone, which looked rather eerie.

Li Junsu stepped onto the ship, followed closely by Bai Xingling.

"The information says this boat can row itself?" As soon as Bai Xingling finished speaking, the small boat started moving.

Unlike the bumps and jolts experienced by others, Li Junsu only felt a smooth ride, as if walking on flat ground.

"Even small boats bully the weak and fear the strong?" Bai Xingling thought to herself as she watched the scenery slowly drift by.

According to the records, if you were thrown off the small boat, you could only rely on luck to get into Peach Blossom Spring.

A person can only encounter a small boat once in their lifetime.

But now, the small boat is as stable as Mount Tai.

The ship spirit, feeling the killing god it was carrying on its back, almost couldn't catch its breath and nearly passed out.

It vaguely sensed something touching its hull, and a creaking sound rang out.

The ship was more stable; it had just seen the pale, ghostly hand.

Li Junsu frowned as he sensed the restlessness of the ghost hands.

The ghost hands sensed Li Junsu's displeasure and immediately vanished.

The boat spirit breathed a sigh of relief and rowed even faster.

Before long, Li Junsu and Bai Xingling arrived at a huge cliff.

Li Junsu and Bai Xingling disembarked from the ship.

"You know what, they're quite pretty," Bai Xingling said, looking at the peach blossoms covering the ground.

The fragrance of peach blossoms wafts through the air, and a gentle evening breeze stirs.

If it weren't for the ghostly aura emanating from the cracks in the cliff face, this would be a great place for a spring outing.

Li Junsu stepped into the crevice in front of him, and a feeling of compression came over him.

"It was extremely narrow at first," Li Junsu thought with amusement.

"Again?" Bai Xingling turned to the side and began to carve into the cliff face.

Then, a white light appeared in front of him, and Li Junsu quickened his pace.

Bai Xingling quickened her pace, eager to see just how ethereal the fairyland truly was.

The fragrance of peach blossoms wafted through the air once more, and the warm sunshine felt comforting.

The bustling noise in front of me suddenly quieted down.

Li Junsu looked at the market in front of him and lowered his head slightly.

Blue bricks?

In ancient times, blue bricks were a symbol of luxury, with an extremely complicated refining process and a more elegant decorative effect.

The courtyard is paved with blue bricks; these are descriptions of a prominent family and also indirect depictions of its wealth.

"Speaking of which, the aristocratic families of Huainan...didn't use blue bricks?" Li Junsu raised an eyebrow, as if thinking of something.

The palace didn't actually have any blue bricks. The emperor himself was very frugal, and the court officials had even less time to bother with blue bricks.

As for the aristocratic families, they knew exactly what to do and used blue bricks.

Then the emperor should take a good look at the wealth of these aristocratic families.

Back in Qingfeng City, Li Qingfeng came from a Taoist sect, and the Li family's layout was grand, but the decorations were all ordinary things, with the furniture being the most expensive.

This was the first time Li Junsu had ever seen a street paved with blue bricks since he came into this world.

“It fits the image of a paradise.” Li Junsu raised his head slightly and carefully examined the market in front of him.

The market in front of me was no different from the morning market in a bustling city, except for...

Li Junsu stepped forward and looked at the jewelry stall in front of him.

Pure gold and silver, inlaid with jade and rubies, extremely luxurious.

"It fits the imagination of people in chaotic times for a prosperous era." Li Junsu thought to himself as he looked at these jewelry pieces, which were even more luxurious than the treasures outside.

It's just a bit too extravagant; it's practically indistinguishable from the emperor's golden hoe. Even in his world, no one would sell something like that at a street stall.

If so, most are scammers, and only a small number are people who have too much money to burn.

"Sir, what item has caught your eye?" the kind old man asked with a smile, his tone gentle.

The market resumed its lively activity as usual.

"Wow, that's so extravagant! And it's not an illusion, it's real," Bai Xingling said telepathically to Li Junsu.

Li Junsu's wealth was enough to replicate the scene here one-to-one, but after following Li Junsu for a long time, Bai Xingling forgot that Li Junsu himself was very wealthy.

Li Junsu himself didn't care much; he was busy with work and cultivation, let alone Bai Xingling, who was working non-stop with him.

"Would you like to buy two pieces?" Li Junsu asked casually, looking at the exquisitely designed jewelry in front of him.

"Yes, such a beautiful girl deserves a few pieces of jewelry," the old man chuckled in agreement.

"How much is one piece of silver?" Bai Xingling asked hesitantly, looking at the jewelry in front of her.

Too expensive? No thanks. Even though I have a salary, I still need to save my money.

"Too expensive, no thanks." Bai Xingling glanced at Li Junsu and said softly.

Li Junsu glanced at Bai Xingling and found it somewhat amusing.

Bai Xingling would sometimes do this, giving her money to buy ingredients and cook for everyone, and sometimes she would even contribute a little extra herself.

But when it comes to jewelry or clothes, Bai Xingling is not happy.

If Bai Xingling knew what Li Junsu was thinking, she would have something to say, since she learned it from Li Junsu.

The uniforms of the Six Doors were of very good quality, and as for the jewelry, it was all over the place.

Bai Xingling was initially quite interested in jewelry, but after spending more time with Li Junsu, she began to prefer a simpler style.

"Six coins," the old man said with a smile.

"Six coins?!" Bai Xingling asked incredulously.

"What about this?" Upon hearing this, Li Junsu's gaze locked onto a certain object.

Li Junsu took out a wooden hairpin from the corner. The hairpin was cleverly designed, and although the material was not very good, the pattern was very beautiful.

"Six coins as well." The old man's eyes glazed over for a moment, then he chuckled softly as he came to his senses.

"I'll buy this wooden hairpin," Li Junsu said gently, placing down a silver ingot.

"Uncle, your craftsmanship is excellent," Li Junsu praised, examining the wooden hairpin.

Li Junsu did not find this excessive extravagance too outrageous; it is normal for people to have an excessive pursuit of beauty.

However, Li Junsu still preferred and recognized the abilities of these ordinary people themselves.

The old man's skillful craftsmanship, though somewhat mismatched on gold and silver, was perfect for a wooden hairpin.

"You flatter me, sir," the old man said modestly, but his eyes held a smile.

“One tael of silver is too much. I’ll help you choose a good one today,” the old man said with a smile, rolling up his sleeves.

......

"Sigh, I already said it's too expensive, I don't want it." Bai Xingling held a small box and gave Li Junsu a somewhat resentful look.

"It's alright, not expensive," Li Junsu said casually.

“Yes, I’d completely forgotten about your Gu worm business.” Bai Xingling rolled her eyes.

Before leaving, the man left a bag of precious jewels at the old man's feet, priced according to market value.

The precious pearl was kindly provided by Juyilou.

Bai Xingling was mentally prepared, but she still felt a little heartbroken.

Li Junsu remained calm; he had no habit of taking advantage of others.

Even if the person involved doesn't know, he has no interest in it.

......

高楼

"..." The Uneasy Ghost Emperor sat up, patted his face, and looked at the rising sun outside the window.

She wanted to remember this day, the first day of their destiny.

She was alerted from the moment Li Junsu entered the outskirts of Taoyuan to the section of the road leading to Chuanling.

Especially the moment the remnant spirit appeared, the Uneasy Ghost Emperor raised his alert level to the highest.

The moment the Ghost Emperor saw Li Junsu, he made up his mind.

As long as Li Junsu doesn't cause too much trouble, she can let him stay here forever.

But then, Li Junsu's conversation with the old man, and his final act of leaving behind the precious pearl, greatly pleased the Unsettled Ghost Emperor.

"Let me see what kind of person you really are," said the Unsettled Ghost Emperor, before disappearing from sight.

The Unsettling Ghost Emperor is temporarily offline, and a resilient woman is online.

......

"Excuse me, could you do me a favor?"

As Li Junsu and Bai Xingling were walking down the street, a gentle-looking woman blocked their way.

"Go ahead," Bai Xingling said, putting away the box and nodding in response.

"Um... my little boat is broken, could you guys help me take a look?" Bu Ning... no, Hu Yanning scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly as he spoke.

"Lead the way," Li Junsu said.

"This way, young master," Hu Yanning said with a smile after hearing Li Junsu speak.

"Success." Hu Yanning thought to himself with pride.

"Why does it smell like tea?" Bai Xingling looked at Hu Yanning's back with some strangeness.

The one who comes is not kind.
