C8 moneymaking

Yu Yuan City was close to Sishui City and was the main transportation city from Sishui City to other cities and towns. As it connected the cities in all directions, it was several times richer than Sishui City. Even amongst the 300 plus cities in the Jin Dynasty, it was one of the richest.

Because of this, Yu Yuan City was filled with all kinds of people: merchants, hawkers, gangs of gangsters, thieves, and so on. All kinds of people from all walks of life were gathered in Yu Yuan City.

Yu Yuan City had four city gates in the north, south, east, and west. Within these four city gates, there were many drivers, laborers, and thieves that wanted to take advantage of this situation to get some money. Li San was one of them.

On this day, when Li San arrived at the east city gate, a few of his subordinates hastily came over and respectfully said:

"Good morning, Lord Third!"

"Lord Third, you're here!"

Hearing these greetings, Li San couldn't help but feel proud. Ever since he was ten years old, he had been working in this Yu Yuan City, but he had always been a subordinate. After working for more than ten years, he had never made any progress.

Li San knew that if it weren't for that lord's help, it would have been impossible for him to have become the lord of the east gate, much less have these dozens of subordinates.

After leaving the east city gate and following the official road for three to four days, they would arrive at Sishui City.

Although it was not something that was very precious, it was better than having an extremely large number of items. Moreover, they usually needed the help of laborers, thus, Li San's group could be considered to be in a flourishing business. Occasionally, they would even see one or two large fish that they could conveniently fish for.

"Lord Third, someone is coming."

Upon hearing these words, Li San's group simultaneously turned to look outside the city gate. However, when everyone saw the two people walking over, they could not help but feel greatly disappointed.

"Bastard, who was that just now?" Aren't they just two little brats? "He hasn't even grown all his hair yet, what can he get?" Li San cursed. He was obviously furious at his men for being so blind.

One had to know that in their line of work, the most important thing was to know how to judge a person at first sight. One had to be able to tell whether that person was a rich man or not at first glance.

"No, San Ye, look, there are two bags on the little boy's waist, and there is a small bag on the little girl's waist. If your subordinate's estimation is correct, these two must be the children of some rich man in Sishui City. Such a big fish is very rich, look …" The scolded man quickly explained.

"Hm?" After hearing the man's words, Li San could not help but once again cast his gaze towards the two of them and carefully probed them.

The slightly older boy was wearing an ordinary blue robe. Before he entered the city, he was already looking around at the city walls. He looked like a country bumpkin entering the city. The little girl, on the other hand, didn't seem surprised at all. It seemed that there was nothing in this Yu Yuan City that attracted her attention.

This boy and girl had wandered here for seven days before they finally arrived at Yu Yuan City's Fang Yi and Mu Linger.

On the way, Fang Yi had even passed on his cultivation technique to Mu Linger. According to old man Fang, this cultivation technique was a top-notch one, even the Yun Feng Sect would find it difficult to take out a better cultivation technique.

There were tens of thousands of cultivation techniques in the cultivation world. Each cultivation technique had different cultivation methods and their effects were different as well. A good cultivation technique could better enhance a cultivator's spirit energy.

At first, Fang Yi thought that Mu Linger would need half a month to absorb Qi into her body. However, to his surprise, Mu Linger only needed five days to absorb Qi into her body, even though the amount of Spiritual Qi she was absorbing was only a lot more than the amount she had absorbed after using the praying mat.

At this rate, he would only need half a month to enter the Qi Condensation stage and transform the spiritual energy into spiritual energy for his own use. It would not be as simple as just tempering his fleshly body.

In these few days, Fang Yi had even broken through to the second level of Qi Refining, making him incredibly happy. However, this was also within reason. After all, Fang Yi's strength was already at the peak of the 1st level of the Refinement Realm. Although he spent most of the year refining talismans, his daily cultivation was not lacking.

And what made Fang Yi the happiest was that within the bag of holding that old man Fang left behind, not only were there several Rank 5 and above runes, even the high quality spirit rune brush was given to Fang Yi, and its use was also recorded in the jade slip for Fang Yi to learn from.

The first time he came to Yu Yuan City, he was astonished to see a city wall even taller than the one in Sishui City. Fortunately, Mu Linger was there to introduce him, otherwise, he would be no different from the barbarians in the mountains.

"Yu Yuan City was a large city connected to all other places, so it was a very prosperous city. A small city like Sishui City could not even compare to it." Mu Linger was aware that Fang Yi had been living in the mountains since childhood and did not have any understanding of the Great Jin Empire. Hence, she carefully explained everything.

Mu Linger had visited some of the towns around Sishui City. Although she wasn't familiar with them, she had more than enough to point the way.

"No wonder even the city walls are so tall." Fang Yi sighed.

"Young ladies and gentlemen, would you like someone to guide you?" "I've lived here for more than ten years. As long as I live in Yu Yuan City, there's nothing I don't know." Just as Fang Yi and Mu Linger entered the city gates, a burly, bare-chested man excitedly ran out of the crowd and came to their side.

"No, we don't need a guide." Although she knew that old man Fang had left a few hundred taels of silver for Fang Yi, she still wasn't willing to waste money. After all, they had only come here for a night's rest.

"Young master, young miss, Yu Yuan City is very big. Without a guide, it's very easy for you to get lost. Moreover, this place is full of dragons and snakes. What if you two kids meet some bad people?" Let me be your guide. " The big man continued.

"No need." Fang Yi said coldly, his cold tone directly denying the burly man a thousand miles away.

"Ling'er, let's go." Fang Yi said.

"Yes." Mu Linger nodded slightly and no longer paid any attention to the burly man as she pulled Fang Yi's small hand towards the city.

"Lord Third, if those two brats don't fall for it, what should we do?" Seeing the two of them walking further and further away, the big man hurriedly ran to Li San's side and asked anxiously.

"Useless things, but it's fine. It's not easy to do anything in the city, so let's wait until they leave Yu Yuan City before we do anything. They're just two little brats. There's still a long way to go before they can escape from my, Li San's, hands." "Keep an eye on these two little fellows. If they leave, hmph …"

"Don't worry, Lord Third, we won't let these two kids escape." "Yes!" Everyone hurriedly replied and then ran in the direction where the two left to, following the two of them from a distance.

The young and ignorant Fang Yi and Mu Linger did not know that they had been targeted. They wandered around Yu Yuan City for a long time, and only when it was dark did they find an inn to stay.
