When the boat docked, Lu Changsheng got off.
It was but a quick gathering, and now, it was already time for them to depart.
"I don't know when I'll be able to see you again, Brother Mu Zhi, but you've definitely made a part of my life complete. If we meet next time, we shall drink freely like brothers."
Zhou Haijie was a bit emotional. The rest of the group also kept nodding. The ladies even asked Lu Changsheng where he lived and whether he was married on their own initiative.
Lu Changsheng politely turned them down, breaking a few more hearts.
"Brother Lu, I have a few good houses in the capital and they are all standing idle. Are you sure you don't want to live there?" Wang Rich offered again.
He really hoped that Lu Changsheng could be his guest in the capital.
But since Lu Changsheng still had his mission to complete, he had to reject this offer.
"Fate brought us together today. If we can meet again, I promise we'll drink freely to celebrate." Lu Changsheng bowed before leaving with Liu Qingfeng.
Sometimes, travelling was just like this.
To meet different people.
To see different scenes.
To do different things.
This was the real purpose of travelling.
Don't ask. Don't think. Let it be. Parting was just the beginning of another story after all.
"Wait a second, Brother Lu!"
At this time, Wang Rich suddenly called him.
However, Lu Changsheng simply casually waved his hand in the air without even looking back. During this trip, he didn't want to look back. He needed to keep moving forward.
This was how he wanted to enjoy this trip.
"I have some money to give you for your journey. At the very least, I hope you can accept it." Wang Rich's voice resounded again.
This time, Lu Changsheng stopped.
Money for the journey?
He hurriedly turned around and went back to Wang Rich.
"Brother Wang, what did you say?" Lu Changsheng wanted to confirm what he heard.
"He says that he has money for us," Liu Qingfeng hurriedly said. He thought that Lu Changsheng didn't hear it.
Lu Changsheng's cold glance made Liu Qingfeng shut up.
"Brother Lu, here's the money I've prepared for you. Since your destination is far, and without enough money, the journey is going to be tough, I hope this will ease your burden."
Wang Rich was very considerate towards them. His servant brought it to Lu Changsheng on a tray. There were twenty ingots of gold. One ingot was made of fifty grams of gold, this meant that there was a kilogram of gold on the tray.
Sure enough, just like the old saying went; with a rich friend, one could save ten years of hard work.
"I can't accept this, Brother Wang!" Lu Changsheng couldn't skip formalities. Accepting this money directly would make him look ugly.
"Please don't say that, I know it's not a lot. But if you need it, even ten kilograms of gold isn't a problem."
Wang Rich was indeed very kind.
The generosity he was displaying was very impressive.
Lu Changsheng would bear this moment in his mind. When he finishes his missions, he would repay Brother Wang.
"Thank you very much for your help, Brother Wang. I'll always bear your kindness in my heart. Qingfeng, take the money."
Lu Changsheng was about to turn down the gift a few more times, but he learned his lesson from Zi Yun.
What he did was already enough for a formality.
In fact, Lu Changsheng could easily earn some money. Any random object in his ring was worth lots of spirit stones after all. Five hundred grams of spirit stones were worth a hundred grams of gold.
Therefore, the one kilogram of gold was only worth five kilograms of spirit stones.
Any random object in Lu Changsheng's ring was worth more than five thousand kilograms of spirit stones.
Wang Rich just helped him save some trouble.
Of course, Lu Changsheng would still bear this kindness in mind.
This way, he could truly experience life in all its forms.
Otherwise, he would have already arrived at Jingling. His Level-twelve Cyan Lotus could take him to the city within a day and save from all the possible trouble after all
During the trip, Lu Changsheng also planned to do some sightseeing to make the trip an unforgettable experience.
It would be a good way to change his outlook and mood.
"Please take good care, Brother Lu!" Lu Changsheng thanked Wang Rich and then left.
After reluctantly watching Lu Changsheng leave, Wang Rich sighed emotionally.
The ladies were also heartbroken. They would never have a crush on other men after they saw Lu Changsheng.
Unrequited love was the most torturous thing in the entire world.
If they knew this in advance, they wouldn't have allowed themselves to fall in love.
But this was life.
Two hours later, and under the gaze of countless eyes, Lu Changsheng walked to the teleportation circle.
Because of this transportation device, within the time of ten breaths, Lu Changsheng could easily travel over twenty thousand miles and arrive in the capital of Da Qian.
In order to use the teleportation circle, one either had to have enough spirit stones or a travel document.
This wasn't a problem, Lu Changsheng had the Imperial Token of Da Qian.
It was sent to him by an emissary from the Dynasty of Da Qian on the day when he became the Saint Scholar. The token enabled him to travel for free in the empire and even allowed Lu Changsheng to move all the troops. With this token, Lu Changsheng's power was second only to that of the emperor.
Besides the Dynasty of Da Qian, the rest of the three empires also sent their tokens to the Zenith Land. Perfected Qing Yun had placed all of them into the Cosmos Ring.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Changsheng and Liu Qingfeng finally arrived at the capital of Da Qian.
Indeed, the capital looked much more spectacular than Jinling.
There were courtyards and tall buildings everywhere. The streets were filled with passersby. In the capital, there were countless senior cultivators gathering here.
"That man's from the Sect of Pill and Furnace. That one is a disciple from the Sect of Cyan Glow. She's from the Sect of Ancient Moon, and that Senior Brother is from the Sect of Heavenly Scorpion," Liu Qingfeng lowered his voice as he whispered at Lu Changsheng's side
He was making introductions for Lu Changsheng.
"The Sect of Heavenly Scorpion? That sounds evil." Lu Changsheng was curious.
"They aren't really that bad. Evil sects wouldn't dare to show up here. The Sect of Heavenly Scorpion can be both good and evil. They usually won't do bad things, but they easily bear grudges. If a person offends a disciple from their sect, he would be in great trouble. Therefore, most sects choose to stay away from them," Liu Qingfeng said.
Lu Changsheng nodded. He really didn't know much about the world.
After all, he came to this world three years ago, and he even spent the past three years on cultivation.
In the capital, lanterns were decorated everywhere for celebrating the Lantern Festival, as mentioned by Zhou Haijie.
"He's so handsome!"
"Such a stunning face!"
"He's so handsome, he's absolutely my type!"
"Shameless! He should be my lover."
"Oh my! I can't believe there's such a gorgeous man in the world!"
These comments surrounded Lu Changsheng when he showed up in the capital.
Lu Changsheng directly ignored these words as he was really tired of the praise.
But he couldn't do anything to stop it.
On the main street, while dressed in white, Lu Changsheng looked extremely handsome and vibrant. His gorgeous face and unworldly demeanor easily attracted countless people.
Soon afterwards, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Palace of Da Qian.
