C5 Sishui City

The sun rose slowly in the early morning. Strands of sunlight shone through the leaves on the ground. Within the mountain forest, two figures were rapidly running forward, one in front and one behind.

"Grandfather, if we run away like this, where are we going?" As he ran, Fang Yi looked at the old man in front of him and asked.

"Let's get out of here and then we'll make our plans." He did not turn his head around because, at this moment, his face was filled with worry.

That's right, where could he run to? Would there be a day after today?

Without tomorrow, what was there to look forward to?

Looking at the sunlight that occasionally shone on his face, old man Fang sighed in his heart.

"Are you tired, Xiaoyi?" Old man Fang turned his head and asked.

"I'm not tired, grandpa. Your Talisman-Dollars are much easier to use than mine." Fang Yi's immature face revealed a trace of a smile as he spoke to old man Fang.

"Silly child, the Divine Traversal Talisman drawn by grandpa is a Rank 5 Talisman. How could it be comparable to your Rank 1 Talisman created by a Divine Traversal Talisman?" "Once we leave this valley, we will be within the territory of the Great Jin Empire. Since we have no other way to live in seclusion within the mountain forest, we will do the opposite and sneak into the Great Jin Empire when they think that we will escape into other valleys. I do not believe that they will be able to find us in this vast sea of people."

A flash of unwillingness appeared in old man Fang's eyes as he spoke to Fang Yi.

"Yes." Fang Yi nodded his head obediently. Compared to the mountain forest, cultivating in the city was much slower. After all, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the city was much thinner than in the mountains.

This is why many cultivation sects are built deep in the mountains. In the mountains, there are a lot of spirit veins, spirit springs, spirit stones, mines, and countless cultivation resources.

Not long after, old man Fang could vaguely see the houses in the distance and the smoke rising slowly from the kitchen.

Although it was a remote place, the streets were neat and tidy. Ancient thatched cottages stood orderly on both sides of the street, covering the ground with bluestone bricks. Outside the forest, the entire town seemed very quiet and peaceful.

In the early morning, smoke was rising from the chimneys of the small town. Some of the townspeople had already woken up to work.

The two figures, one old and one young, walked on the blue brick at a leisurely pace, chatting as they walked.

"Follow this road and we will reach Sishui City. Once we get there, we will rest for the night. Tomorrow, we will set out for other towns."

The old man and the young man were none other than old man Fang and Fang Yi. The two of them arrived at the Upper Cai Town and ate some snacks at a small tea house on the street.

Therefore, old man Fang planned to stay in a distant town. He thought to himself that in the hundreds of cities in the Great Jin Empire, it would be impossible for the other party to find him so easily.

"Grandpa, can I go for a walk alone in Sishui City?" After staying in the forest for so long, he had an unfathomable sense of mystery towards cities and towns, just like how he liked the stars. He always liked to search for and explore this unfathomable mystery.

"This …." "Well, we'll talk about it when we get to Sishui City." Old man Fang hesitated for a moment before replying.

The two of them walked along the bluestone path. Although they didn't meet many people along the way, old man Fang didn't want to reveal his identity as a cultivator in front of mortals, so he only walked slowly with Fang Yi until dusk before arriving outside Sishui City.

The Great Jin Dynasty had a total of three hundred and sixty-five large cities, and Sishui City was one of them. Sishui City was close to the mountains and the water. Although it was not a rich town, it could be called a city.

He saw a city built from enormous rocks that was as imposing as a tiger lying cross-legged. The rough, wild, and majestic presence made Fang Yi, who had never seen the market before, feel his heart tremble.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Sishui City, through the city gate, they could see the streets filled with people as if they were crucian carp crossing the river. Fang Yi's curiosity was piqued, and he could no longer restrain his small heart.

"Let's go. Since you want to go for a stroll, let's find an inn first. Then, we'll let you go for a walk for two hours." Seeing that Fang Yi's eyes were continuously scanning the surroundings, the old man shook his head helplessly.

"Thank you, grandpa." Fang Yi said happily, as if he had completely forgotten that the two of them were still being pursued.

It might be a mistake for him to follow me.

As he gazed at Fang Yi's young and tender face, old man Fang suddenly had this thought.

Not long after he entered the city, old man Fang found an inn. After giving Fang Yi some silver coins, he let him take a stroll around, while he himself went to his room to rest.

"Sugar gourd, sweet and delicious, neither sweet nor money …."

"Pancakes, freshly baked cakes, big, delicious cakes …." "" "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Just as he walked out of the inn, Fang Yi's ears were filled with all sorts of hawking sounds. The bustling and bustling along the street formed a stark contrast with the quiet and tranquil valley. For a moment, Fang Yi didn't know where to go.

"How lively." As he walked down the bustling streets, looking at the bustling buildings, the various shops and restaurants, the various grocery stalls, and the fragrance of all sorts of street snacks, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. His footsteps then headed towards the grandpa who was shouting "sugar gourds".

"Master, give me two bunches of candied fruits." A group of children around Fang Yi's age surrounded the old man. Fang Yi squeezed into the crowd of children and shouted loudly.

"Young friend, a total of four pieces of money." The old man's wrinkled face revealed a simple and honest smile as he took down two strings of candied fruits and handed them to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi took out four pieces of money from the money pouch at his waist. He took the candied fruits with one hand and handed the money to the grandpa with the other.

"Delicious!" Fang Yi bit down on a candied fruit and mumbled as he ate. At this moment, a petite child with a sallow complexion walked towards Fang Yi.

When the person was about a meter away from Fang Yi, he suddenly staggered and bumped into Fang Yi.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The child apologized and then left in a hurry.

"Hehe, didn't we just bump into each other?" "It's nothing, is there a need to be so nervous?" When Fang Yi saw him leave in such a hurry, he thought to himself that he was afraid that he would be blamed. He couldn't help but laugh as he patted his waist with his empty right hand.

"My storage bag and purse?!" With this slap, Fang Yi discovered that her storage bag and purse had disappeared. He hastily looked at the ground, only to discover that it was empty.

Long before he left, old man Fang had told Fang Yi not to reveal his techniques in front of others. Therefore, Fang Yi had placed the money pouch that old man Fang had given him into the pouch at his waist, hanging it next to the storage pouch.

"It's him!" Fang Yi suddenly thought of that kid who bumped into him before hurriedly leaving. He angrily smashed the candied fruit in his hand onto the ground and chased after that person.

If it were only the money bag that was lost, Fang Yi would not be this angry. However, that person had even stolen his own bag of holding. Within that bag were all the runes he had made a year ago. If he hadn't wanted to refine these rank 1 runes, Fang Yi's strength wouldn't only be at the peak of the first level of Qi Refining up until now.

The most important thing was that the praying mat that was related to the mystery of his ancestry was also in the storage bag. If it was lost, then Fang Yi really would not have any clue about the mystery of his ancestry. When he thought of this, an indescribable anger surged in Fang Yi's heart, and he couldn't help but speed up even more.
