Tian Yuan

The next morning, Chen Qingyuan pulled the old ox to the Chamber of Commerce in the north of the city.

I signed a labor contract and left the old ox at the Chamber of Commerce, telling it to be obedient and work hard. When I was done, I had to remember to come back early.

As for Chen Qingyuan, of course he returned home and continued to lie down and rest.

At that time, the people from the Chamber of Commerce and the independent practitioners from all sides were all stunned.

Although it is not uncommon to let spirit beasts come out to work, it is quite rare to see them snatch work from a group of independent cultivators who are living in poverty.

What puzzled everyone was that even though you were so poor, why did a spirit beast still want to follow you? Was it forced to sign a spirit beast contract?

So pitiful.

Many people looked at the old ox with a bit of pity in their eyes.

What's more, some people even proposed to buy the old ox from Chen Qingyuan and were willing to offer a price without any ambiguity.

"That's fine with me, as long as it agrees."

Chen Qingyuan said very seriously.

"Moo..."

The old ox was really afraid of being sold out by Chen Qingyuan, so he immediately protested and said that he would never follow anyone else.

A group of people looked at the old ox's willing look and shook their heads secretly.

The monk who wanted to offer a price for the cow had to give up.

The city was prosperous and had its own order, so there were very few quarrels or fights. If it was really difficult to deal with, then they would sign a life and death contract and go to a designated place to resolve it. In any case, they could not disturb the peace of the city.

The work officially started, and Lao Huangniu worked day and night, very hard. He was afraid that if he didn't work hard, he would be disliked by Chen Qingyuan.

Sometimes he would only come back once every ten days or so, lie down for two hours and then go out again.

It’s not easy to make money to support your master!

Whose spirit beast is so considerate.

When the monthly salary was paid, Chen Qingyuan would go to the Chamber of Commerce to collect the hard work pay that belonged to the old ox.

Although it's not much, it can at least buy two pots of wine.

With the remaining few low-grade spirit stones, he bought some spirit fruit as a reward for the old ox.

The moment he ate the magical fruit, the old ox shed tears of emotion.

My master was very nice to me. When he went out to buy wine, he remembered to buy me some fruit.

"Take a rest for two days and then keep working hard."

Chen Qingyuan gave some encouragement.

"moo"

The old ox nodded, indicating that he would work hard.

Chen Qingyuan gave this behavior of his a euphemism "tempering".

Relying on the hard work of the old ox, a new life began.

Although it's a bit tight, we can still get by.

Over time, Lao Huangniu became famous in the Shixing Chamber of Commerce in the north of the city. Many people came to visit him and talked about him.

Hard-working and efficient in work.

Even the person in charge of managing cargo transportation praised the old ox, saying that this spiritual beast was very strong and had a good temper, which was very rare.

If it were any other spirit beast, it would be good enough if it could not make any noise, let alone work for its master.

"I have to save some spirit stones. Drinking this low-grade spirit wine all the time is really tasteless."

Chen Qingyuan decided to endure for a while, and when he had more spirit stones in his hands, he would go buy a pot of slightly better wine.

This kind of idle life is not boring.

Occasionally I have a big dream and recall many of my past steps, as if I were walking through them again.

Occasionally, I would observe the mountains and gain enlightenment, and I would gain new insights into some aspect of Taoism.

Another half year passed, and Chen Qingyuan counted the spirit stones he had on him. He bought a pot of good wine, and the remaining money was just enough for travel expenses.

Go to the royal city of the Zi Lian Dynasty to complete this goal and find out more information about the Luoshen Ruins.

After working for half a year, the old ox didn't drink even a sip of water and survived entirely by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"I don't have enough spirit stones. I'll buy you something to eat next time."

Chen Qingyuan explained the reason.

The old ox was very sensible and followed Chen Qingyuan's arrangements in everything.

One man and one cow boarded the teleportation array that led directly to the imperial city.

This place is not far from the empire, so the price is not very expensive and most monks can afford it.

Perhaps it was not fate that they were destined to meet. As soon as Chen Qingyuan left Yanqiu City, Tang Wan'er appeared here and carefully looked for Chen Qingyuan's trace.

The Zilian Royal City is more prosperous than any other area.

Before entering, one can already see the Miaofu Palace, which is surrounded by clouds and has a fairy-like charm.

All kinds of rare and exotic animals are flying in the air, including birds, cranes, tigers, leopards, dragons, phoenixes, insects, snakes and so on.

Powerful might would sometimes emanate from the city, shocking all parties. The scoundrels did not dare to cause trouble and acted according to the rules.

The huge city was surrounded by various small stars, and special runes often appeared in the void. According to Chen Qingyuan's judgment, it should be the fluctuation of the power of the city defense formation, which was a normal phenomenon.

"Do I need to pay an entrance fee to enter the city?"

When he reached the city gate, Chen Qingyuan learned about this and was speechless.

I don't have a single spiritual stone on me, so I can't enter the city.

This is the capital of the Zilian Dynasty, with countless powerful people and a stable order. If Chen Qingyuan wants to sneak in without being discovered by others, he will inevitably consume a lot of spiritual energy.

As for finding a way to get the spirit stones before entering, it is indeed easier, but there is no need for that.

"Forget it, since we are not destined to meet, let's just go home."

Chen Qingyuan is more casual.

Riding on the old ox, ready to turn back.

"Moo..."

The old ox suddenly cried out.

The meaning was clear: "Master, it seems that we don't have the money for the return trip."

"......" Chen Qingyuan was stunned. What he said made a lot of sense.

"Walk back."

The next moment, Chen Qingyuan made a decision.

How long will it take to cross countless stars?

The key point is that it’s me, the old cow, who is walking!

When the old ox thought of this, he almost cried. These four legs would be disabled sooner or later because of traveling so fast.

Walking and sighing.

The old ox looked at the boundless sea of ​​stars, not knowing which direction to go.

"Keep going, don't look back."

Chen Qingyuan sat on the cow's back, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

The old ox secretly made up his mind that if he continued like this, he would definitely die. It would be better to go to a nearby city, do a few more jobs, and work hard for a few years. He would definitely be able to support his master and raise money for the journey.

On and on, the old ox flew into the air and crossed the galaxy. It was not suppressed by the laws of the star field, and was not even affected in the slightest.

How this was done, the old ox couldn't explain.

"Master, why is this?"

If you have doubts, then ask.

"It will come naturally."

Following Chen Qingyuan, all hardships are a blessing.

The mysterious Taoist arts will not be taught for the time being.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but the time has not come yet.

When crossing the star field, a huge storm of laws suddenly arose, causing the old ox's steps to become unstable and its body to shake uncontrollably, and it could be swept away by the storm at any time.

In such an emergency, the old ox was panicked and cried out in fear, thinking that he was in great danger and there was no way he could escape death.

"Don't be impatient."

Chen Qingyuan raised his hand and pressed the old ox's head. Suddenly, a faint white light appeared, blocking the chaotic storm law outside.
