Chapter 91 - Chun Rin Canton
Chapter 91: Chun Rin Canton
‘Throw me aside?’
Xu Ning was not angry, he just smiled instead.
Afterwards, Xu Ning flicked his wrist and shot out a piece of silver in his hand.
The silver piece brushed past the skinny manager’s face.
Immediately after, there was the sound of an explosion.
The silver piece flew and hit the carriage, breaking the surrounding wood, creating a small hole in the carriage.
The skinny manager was shocked. He suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
‘If that silver piece hit my head, I would have died.’
The skinny manager suddenly became annoyed and wanted to get the buff guard to get rid of Xu Ning, but suddenly, he heard the buff guard shout.
“Mortal realm seventh stage, state mind realm!”
The buff guard looked at Xu Ning in disbelief.
Attaching force to objects would produce an explosive effect. This was a way of exerting strength that could only be achieved by masters in the mortal realm seventh stage or above.
This person who looked like a refugee turned out to be a master of martial arts.
“Mortal realm seventh stage?”
The skinny manager began to regret his words.
Although he did not practice martial arts, this did not mean that he did not know the power of a mortal realm seventh stage warrior.
If this man came with terrible intentions, he could easily destroy the caravan.
“Manager, are these silver taels enough for me to buy some clothes and food?”
Xu Ning had a smile on his face. He looked at the skinny, little manager.
The skinny manager’s face trembled. He then smiled forcefully. “Enough, enough.”
Immediately, the skinny manager turned to his subordinates and yelled, “Idiots, what are you still waiting around for? Pick out some of the brightest clothes and hats from our goods, remember to pick something that fits his body!”
“Also, bring out some meat and prepare it for the good man!”
Xu Ning was surprised by how quickly the skinny manager changed his demeanor.
Soon, the subordinates packed up the goods.
Xu Ning picked out a martial arts outfit that suited him, then took some grains and dried meat.
With the goods in his hand, Xu Ning cupped his fists towards the buff guard and said, “My friend, where is the nearest city or county city from here?”
The buff man responded clearly, “Chun Rin Canton is the closest from here. You can reach it by walking two hundred miles south.”
Xu Ning nodded silently.
He had to find a place to settle down, relax his mind, and then find his way home after everything was secure.
“Thanks.”
After Xu Ning received the goods, he bid farewell to the buff guard and the skinny manager.
“Go, what are you doing?”
After watching Xu Ning leave, the skinny manager urged his subordinates.
He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves.
He had learned a lesson this time.
…
After Xu Ning received the clothes and food, he went into the nearby mountains and forests.
He found a water stream and washed his body thoroughly. After that, Xu Ning put on the new clothes, but kept his secret belt compartment.
Afterwards, Xu Ning ate some food and rushed to Chun Rin Canton.
…
‘Chun Rin Canton seems much more prosperous than Kangyun County…’
After a long journey, Xu Ning entered Chun Rin Canton.
The streets were wide and filled with people.
Pedestrians on the roads rubbed shoulders against one another, shouting and yelling in the street markets.
Everything looked like an upgraded version of Kangyun County.
‘Chun Rin County should be considered a big city in State Jifeng.’
Xu Ning had read many books when he was in the Black Armored Guards.
According to the description in the book, State Jifeng was split into separate regimes, and the state was also in a relatively chaotic environment.
Only some big cities were stable.
‘The development of martial arts in Chun Rin Canton should be much higher than that of Kangyun County.’
As Xu Ning walked on the roads, he saw many warriors above the mortal realm fourth stage.
He even encountered two state mind realm martial artists who were similar in strength to him.
In Kangyun County, there were only four people above the state mind realm.
After walking on the roads just for a little while, he already saw two strong warriors, which showed that the martial arts level of Chun Rin Canton was higher than that of Kangyun County.
Xu Ning even suspected that in Chun Rin Canton, there were void realm warriors who were above the mortal realm warriors.
If there were no void realm warriors watching over this canton city like clouds, this canton city would never be this peaceful.
“I’ll find a place to stay first.”
Xu Ning saw a restaurant hotel on the side of the street and walked in.
“Room please.”
Xu Ning walked in and explained his needs.
“Sir, in our hotel, there are only rooms for five taels of silver a night.”
The clerk leaned forward with an apologetic smile on his face.
Xu Ning took out a small piece of gold from his pockets and asked, “How long will this get me?”
“With one tael of gold, you can stay here for twenty days, all meals included.”
The clerk’s eyes lit up, and his smile got even brighter.
Xu Ning nodded.
Xu Ning remembered that in ancient times, one tael of gold could only be exchanged for ten taels of silver.
But here, one tael of gold was equal to a hundred taels of silver.
It seemed that the gold mines in this world were rare.
“Then I’ll stay for twenty days.”
Xu Ning was too lazy to bargain.
After five months of hard work, Xu Ning wanted to switch to a more comfortable environment.
“Follow me, I’ll take you to the guest room.”
The man quickly took Xu Ning upstairs.
After entering the room, the man brought him some food.
Although this was only for one person, there was a lot of food. Xu Ning was hungry just looking at it.
After a good feast, Xu Ning did not rest in the room, instead he went downstairs.
He was going to go out and ask around to see where he was, and how he could get home.
…
At night.
Xu Ning stood in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside with a melancholy expression on his face.
“It seems that my home is far away.”
Xu Ning sighed suddenly.
According to what Xu Ning found out, Chun Rin Canton was almost at the southernmost part of State Jifeng.
If he wanted to return to State Feiyun, he would have to cross the entirety of State Jifeng.
Forget about the difficulties and obstacles he would encounter, with Xu Ning’s current strength, it would take him a year to complete this journey.
Moreover, even if he went to the north of State Jifeng, he would not be able to reach State Feiyun.
It was because between State Jifeng and State Feiyun, there was the Jichuan Mountain Range.
The Jichuan Mountain Range separated the two major states, and it was extremely dangerous.
Unless one had the strength of a void realm martial artist, it would be suicide to pass through the mountain range.
‘I wonder when I can go back?’
Xu Ning missed his sister and niece more and more.
‘Do I really have to wait until I advance to the void realm before I can return to State Feiyun?’
Xu Ning had a headache.
The reality was cruel. His own strength did not allow him to go home alive.
‘It seems that I have to stay in State Jifeng for a while.’
Xu Ning had no choice but to recognize reality.
Despite the setbacks, Xu Ning felt that he was quite lucky compared to the three Wei family members.
After being patient for five months, he escaped.
But, who knew what kind of torture the Wei family members were going through.
Although Xu Ning had liked the Wei family members, he did not have the strength to rescue them right now.
Even the two people who captured them and their raptor were already in the void realm.
With that in mind, Xu Ning’s strength was just not enough.
‘I’ll find something to do first.’
Xu Ning had already begun to figure out a new plan.
Since he didn’t have a foundation in State Jifeng, he would get his start in Chun Rin Canton.
‘I’ll wait until I have enough resources to improve my strength again before considering the future.’
Xu Ning did not have a better idea right now.
The only thing that was still a worry was whether he should roam around the city like a lone wolf, or find a job in Chun Rin Canton first.
But in any case, since he was in the state mind realm, it would not be difficult for him to survive and build a foundation in State Jifeng.
