Start with a space

“You’ve got a good harvest.

It just so happens that I plan to go to Fenglin Town in two or three days and take the animal skins and other things I hunted during this period to sell in the town.

You come with me then.

I estimate that these herbs of yours can be sold for more than twenty taels of silver."

Chen Daha glanced at the cloth bag on Zhang Xiaoshan's waist, smiled and said.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

In fact, there was a sum of silver stored in his space bead, which he got from Wang Shao, but he didn't dare to use it directly.

After all, all the villagers in Hongye Village knew that his family was relatively poor and it was difficult for them to come up with even one or two taels of silver.

Therefore, he wandered around in the mountains for a few more days, looking for some wild herbs, and hung a cloth bag of wild herbs around his waist.

"Uncle Chen, how far is it to Fenglin Town?"

Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment and asked.

"It only takes seven or eight days to get from Hongye Village to Fenglin Town."

Chen Daha said, and glanced at Zhang Xiaoshan, thinking that Zhang Xiaoshan was going to the town alone, and said:

I advise you not to go to Fenglin Town alone. I guess you don’t know the way and the journey is also quite dangerous.

You are still a child, so it is better for you to go with me so that we can take care of each other."

"it is good!

Three days later, I will go to Fenglin Town with you, Uncle Chen."

Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

As they spoke, the three of them walked together on the mountain path, talking and laughing along the way, heading towards the direction of Hongye Village.

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Xiaoshan slowly ended his practice and stopped cultivating.

He roasted Golden Mountain pork in the space bead, and after a hearty breakfast, he came to the door of Chen Daha's house.

Zhang Xiaoshan arrived at Chen Daha's door and saw a carriage parked not far from the door.

Behind the carriage, animal skins were piled up like a small hill, and next to them were several bundles of dried wild herbs.

At this time, there were two young men standing aside, they were Chen Yi and Xu An.

They each held a few animal skins and a bundle of licorice herbs in their hands and were putting them on the carriage.

Zhang Xiaoshan's appearance made Xu An's eyes flash with joy, and he quickly said:

Brother Xiaoshan, you are here!

We were just saying that if you don’t come, we will go and call you.”

"Why are you two not helping with the housework at home? What do you want me to do?"

Zhang Xiaoshan felt a little confused when he heard this and asked.

He looked at the two people in front of him, and some images floated through his mind. The three of them had played together in the large fields in the village and were playmates who grew up together.

"Brother Xiaoshan, you are so mean!

You were going to Fenglin Town to join the Immortal Cultivation Family without even telling us.

Fortunately, Xu An and I went to Uncle Chen's house with my father yesterday and asked Uncle Chen to go to the town to help buy some things.

If Uncle Chen hadn't told us that you were going to town, we would still be kept in the dark!"

Chen Yi, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a smile on his face, said to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled slightly and said:

I am going to visit a family of immortal cultivators to see if I can learn some powerful spells and become a powerful immortal master.

Since it was impossible for you two to go with me, I didn't tell you.

By the way, you just said you wanted to call me, is there something wrong?"

"Of course I'm going to Maple Forest Town with you!"

Chen Yi walked up to Zhang Xiaoshan, patted him on the shoulder, and answered with a smile.

"Do both of your fathers agree that you can leave the village?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned, looked at the two of them and said.

"Of course I don't agree!"

Chen Yi and Xu An looked at each other and smiled. Chen Yi said:

However, yesterday afternoon, I begged and pleaded with my father, saying that I wanted to go to the town to learn from a master in order to have a good future.

Then tell your father about your situation.

My father thought that you were brave enough to go to town to make a living at such a young age, so he agreed to let me go."

"Yes, my parents agreed too!

He also asked me to take the ten animal skins and a bundle of herbs stored at home, and prepare to go to the town with Uncle Chen Daha."

Xu An also said with a smile.

"So if you two go to town, what skills do you plan to learn?"

Zhang Xiaoshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked with a smile.

“I heard from Uncle Chen that if you want to join the Immortal Cultivation Family, they will conduct a test on you to see if you have the qualifications to cultivate immortality before they can determine whether you meet the requirements to join.

Xu An and I also want to take a test to see if we have the qualifications to practice Taoism.

If we have it, then maybe we can join the Immortal Cultivation Family, and then the three of us can play together again, right? "

Chen Yi smiled and replied.

“I’m sure you’ve heard that there are very few mortals who have the talent to cultivate immortality.

It is hard to say whether you two have the qualifications to practice Taoism.

But if you want to take the test, that's fine too. I hope you two can also have the qualifications to cultivate immortality."

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and said.

Xu An on the side smiled and said:

It doesn’t matter if I don’t have the talent to cultivate immortality. I will then learn martial arts at the martial arts school in town and become a martial arts master like Uncle Chen.

In this way, I can go back to the village to hunt, and like Uncle Chen, I can catch more than a dozen prey every month. Then I can support my family, which is pretty good."

Chen Yi also quickly agreed: "I think so too."

"Now that you three are here, get on the carriage and we'll set off."

At this time, Chen Daha walked out of the house with more than a hundred animal skins in his hands, walked to the side of the carriage, put them on the carriage, then he exhaled, turned to look at Zhang Xiaoshan and the other two, and said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Zhang Xiaoshan and the other two nodded and sat in the back of the carriage.

Then, Chen Daha also sat in the carriage and was responsible for driving.

Soon, the old wooden carriage began to move creakingly along a wide dirt road.

Zhang Xiaoshan sat in the back of the carriage, his body swaying from side to side from time to time, and occasionally there would be a "clang" sound.

The carriage slowly drove out of the village.

Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but turn his head to look. The small village with a little smoke was gradually moving away from him.

"Haha, we are finally off and can go to Maple Forest Town!

I heard that it’s a lot more fun there than in the village, there are a lot more people there, and the place is much bigger than in the village.”

Chen Yi, sitting in the carriage, looked excited and said with a smile.

Xu An also echoed: "Yes!"

Then he asked Chen Daha curiously:

Uncle Chen, you have to go to Fenglin Town once a month, tell us about the situation in Fenglin Town. "

“We are on our way now, and it’s alright, so I’ll tell you something.

Fenglin Town is a very large town, gathering a large number of mortals..."

Chen Daha told the story with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Chen, what is a town?"

After listening carefully for a while, Chen Yi asked curiously.

"Well..."

Suddenly, Chen Daha was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said:

You will understand it when you go to Fenglin Town."

"Oh!"

Chen Yi nodded.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and asked:

Uncle Chen, you know the purpose of my trip to Fenglin Town this time.

Can you tell me about the immortal cultivation family?

So that I can understand.”

Chen Daha nodded and said with a smile:

In Fenglin Town, there are three immortal cultivation families. The first is the Zhao family, the second is the Wang family, and the third is the Ma family.

These three immortal cultivation families are the most powerful and influential in Fenglin Town."

"Only three immortal cultivation families? So few?"

Chen Yi asked curiously.

"That's a lot."

Chen Daha smiled and explained:

As far as I know, in the territory controlled by Lingmu Sect, our location is on the edge of the westernmost mountain range of Lingmu Sect.

In the westernmost mountains, there are no less than hundreds of thousands of towns, large and small. In half of these towns, there is only one immortal cultivation family at most. In some towns, there are no immortal cultivation families at all, only warrior forces.

We have three immortal cultivation families in Fenglin Town. Although this is not the most, it is still a lot.

Besides, those who have the talent to cultivate immortality are one in a million.

Moreover, people who have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, once they become cultivators, generally prefer to stay in places with a higher concentration of spiritual energy.

For example, Fenglin Town has three immortal cultivation families, which shows that the concentration of spiritual energy in our place is relatively good compared to other towns."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan and the other two nodded.
