Seeing the caravan out of the city, Chen Shen slowly ate another breakfast before leading the crowd towards the parking lot.
The parking lot was empty at this time, with only three carriages sitting alone in the corner, and the attentive guards were feeding the horses, looking extremely diligent.
"Not bad, deserve a reward!" Chen Shen praised from afar.
Zhang Ji awkwardly reminded from the side, "Big brother, we've already spent 10,000 taels at Spring Wind House, we don't have any more money."
"Is that so?" Chen Shen's expression was stagnant, but he waved his hand after a moment.
"Spending it is spending it, this thing called money is a liability to us Immortal Cultivators."
After saying these words, Chen Shen got onto the carriage and after fumbling around for a while, he fished out a piece of something that looked like ginger and threw it to the guard.
"Seeing as your face looks like you have some kidney weakness, this Western Region Fire Dragon Ginger is for you.
I put a lot of effort into getting this stuff over here, but unfortunately it's not very useful for a great man like me who is full of virility."
Chen Shen made up a name out of thin air, but the guard thanked him profusely.
As a matter of fact, he did have some weak kidneys and was not powerful in that area, now that he suddenly got the reward from this noble gentleman in front of him, he was happier than getting money.
...
Half an hour later, the three carriages drove out of Blue Wind City and did not take the wide official road, but instead took a small road.
This path passed through quite a few deep mountains and old forests, and was usually overrun with bandits, so ordinary people would not take this path at all.
However, Chen Shen and the others did not mind at all.
Along the way, Chen Shen dismounted his horse every now and then and picked up some trinkets.
"Thousand Year He Shou Wu + 1."
"Demon Spirit Fruit +10."
"Ore containing Spirit Iron + 1."
...
Zhang Ji and the others have long been accustomed to this, but Fox Xian'er is more and more shocked, this kid is really a dog spirit?
Or is the legendary Treasure Hunting Ferret in human form?
"Kid, if your talent is known by a powerful Immortal Cultivation expert, I'm afraid you'll be captured and used as a Treasure Hunter."
Fox Fairy'er couldn't help but say when she saw Chen Shen holding a Demon Spirit Fruit that she was somewhat coveting.
Chen Shen pinched that fruit with one hand and poured it on the small trumpet flower while replying, "Don't I have you here?"
Fox Fairy'er looked puzzled at this, thinking that it was none of my business.
"When the time comes, I'll say that it's your nose that's good, and then send you out won't it be over, no matter what, you're always more like a dog essence than me, don't you think so?
If people don't believe me, I'll just say that you recognize your master and have to be drilled for a while before you can do it, see, how sensible and reasonable."
Fox Fairy'er: "????"
Feeling that this kid really wants to squeeze all the value out of himself?
What the hell, is this speaking human language?
"System, is there anything of great value within a twenty meter radius?"
"There is a gold ore nineteen meters deep underground."
"I'm too lazy to dig for something like gold."
...
Due to the fact that he was walking through the mountains and forests, Chen Shen's messy harvest was very rich, and by the time night came the three carriages were loaded to the brim.
As a last resort, Chen Shen had to start taking out some of the least valuable of them to make dark dishes.
Although these dark dishes were not tasty, their effects were so powerful that the people in the caravan ate them and suffered from overcompensation, and did not have the slightest desire to sleep at all.
So the people could only drive all night long.
...
After a few days, an incomparably huge city forested into the crowd's vision.
The city wall was a full fifty meters high and nearly a thousand meters long, not being able to see the head at a glance, it would be difficult for such a huge city to be able to be built if Immortals were not deployed.
"This is Jizhou, there must be quite a few Immortal cultivation experts in there, it's better for me to hide you."
Chen Shen said as he tied Fox Xian'er up tightly and threw her into the carriage.
Fox Xian'er was completely used to this kind of life and not only did she not say a word, she was even very cooperative.
A few moments later, the three carriages slowly drove into the city gates of Jizhou.
As the state capital of a state, Jizhou was far more prosperous than Blue Wind City, plus the fact that today was the 31st of July, and tomorrow would be the day that the Heavenly Cloud Sect would be recruiting disciples, so there were people everywhere in the city.
Upon listening carefully, everyone, without exception, were all discussing the Heavenly Cloud Sect's disciple intake.
The image power of the Heavenly Cloud Sect as the township sect of Ji Prefecture was evident.
This time, Chen Shen did not pick the most expensive restaurant in Jizhou city, but found a random inn, after arranging everything, Chen Shen and Zhang Ji found a place with the most people and sat down.
Although Zhang Ji had gotten a token from the Heavenly Cloud Sect, he still didn't know anything about how the Heavenly Cloud Sect actually selected disciples.
So the two could only listen to the news in a lively place.
"There seem to be more outsiders coming to Jizhou this year than ever before!"
The people at the next few tables just happened to be discussing this matter.
"That's not true, it's mainly because two small immortal sects in Jizhou were destroyed last year and people had fewer choices, so it's reasonable to say there should be more, but it seems like quite a few people have died on the road this year."
"That's true, a few days ago, Nan Murong Yunlan all encountered an ambush on the road, if it wasn't for the accompanying Immortal Cultivators putting their lives on the line to protect them, it's estimated that they wouldn't even be able to reach Jizhou."
Chen Shen's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
It looks like that Murong Yunlan really encountered an attack, but there was no danger, and finally arrived in Jizhou.
But the accompanying Immortals had fought for their lives, what about the huge caravan that followed?
"I heard that when they came to Jizhou, a large group of noble ladies followed Murong Yunlan, after encountering the attack this group of people died and were injured, the slightly better qualified ones were directly taken captive by the people of the Devil's Sect."
"So how do you say a red face is a scourge? If they didn't follow Murong Yunlan, maybe they wouldn't have gotten into trouble."
Hearing this, Chen Shen didn't move at the side.
Licking a dog until the end still ended up with nothing, how pathetic was that?
"A few brothers, may I ask how the Heavenly Cloud Sect will recruit disciples tomorrow?"
Zhang Ji didn't want to hear about Murong Yunlan, he was more concerned about how the Heavenly Cloud Sect would recruit disciples.
He had a Heavenly Cloud Sect token anyway, and could directly enter the Heavenly Cloud Sect, but Chen Shen did not, and although he believed that with Chen Shen's qualifications it was absolutely fine to enter the Heavenly Cloud Sect, he was still more or less uneasy under the concern.
"Oh, at that time, the Heavenly Cloud Sect will have an elder to personally check your Immortal Cultivation qualifications, and if they meet the requirements of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, they will directly accept you as disciples.
If you don't meet it, but still have some qualifications, then you will be recommended to the affiliated small sects.
If there is absolutely none, then we can only say goodbye."
Zhang Ji's heart sighed in relief when he heard this, this kind of rule was simple and straightforward, as long as the elders of the Heavenly Cloud Sect were not blind, they should be able to tell that big brother's talent was amazing.
As for where it was amazing, Zhang Ji didn't understand, anyway, it must be amazing right.
"Big brother, tomorrow you might be famous in Jizhou."
Thinking of this, Zhang Ji looked towards Chen Shen with an expectant expression, as if he was even happier than he was about to become famous.
