Reborn as a beautiful little lucky star
Chapter 22: Xianjian Villa
The carriage rumbled forward, and no one knew that not long after the family left the Black Canyon, a figure dressed in white as white as snow, as graceful as a fairy, appeared on the hill where the stone treasure had been moved.
The man in white stared at the direction the carriage left, deep in thought, without moving for a long time.

The Arctic ice sheet is vast, with endless mountains and perennial snow.
From the Heixi Canyon to the Xianjian Villa, one has to cross one deep mountain and ravine after another with many steep peaks.
The snow had not melted and the mountain path was difficult. It would take an ordinary person five days to get there even if he rode a horse at full speed, and a carriage would go even slower.
The Mu family was different. With Mu Xueyan showing the way and Shi Bao helping them secretly, they cut through mountains and built bridges over rivers. In just three days, they crossed the mountains and successfully arrived at Xianjian Villa.

In the Kyushu Continent, martial arts are supreme. Mortal warriors who have practiced to the twelfth level of acquired martial arts, breaking through their limits and becoming innate martial artists, can then enter the fairyland to practice and have a lifespan that ordinary people cannot achieve.
Therefore, the custom of practicing martial arts is prevalent among the people, and any family with a little strength will send their children to various major sects to practice.
In the northern border, there are tens of thousands of disciples in Xianjian Villa, dominating the area.
Even the Beichen government had to avoid its edge and did not dare to confront it easily.
~
The Mu family drove a horse-drawn carriage to Tianshan Mountain, and the scene that came into view was so eye-catching that it made people feel instantly refreshed.
In the fields covered with snow, houses are scattered around and smoke rises from cooking.
There are children playing in the terraced fields, and their innocent laughter makes people feel happy.
The horse clattered forward, gradually approaching the foot of the mountain.
The further you go, the more houses you see and the denser the crowds of people, making it look like a large village or town.
"I thought the Arctic ice sheet was a barren and desolate place with no human habitation, but I didn't expect it to be so lively at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains."
All along the way, all we saw were desolate mountains and ravines. It was rare to see villages and towns, and the whole family was very excited.
The two brothers Mu Yunlong and Mu Yunlei lifted the curtains and poked their heads out to look.
Mu Xueyan turned over in her mother's arms, and looked around curiously with her big, dark and lively eyes.
The scale of Xianjian Villa is roughly the same as that of the immortal sects in the fairyland.
The major mountains are where disciples practice martial arts and most of the villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain work for the sect.
The area within tens of thousands of miles is under the jurisdiction of Xianjian Villa. If you want to do business here or buy land and settle down, you must get the consent of the villa's managing elders.
~
"Yu Fu, find someone to ask what method can be used to settle down here."
The old lady is experienced, so how could she not know the rules of the major sects? Since they have come to Xianjian Villa, she must let the children enter the sect and become disciples to learn skills.
"Hi!"
Mu Yufu tightened the reins, jumped off the carriage nimbly, and ran towards the nearest village.
Under a big tree at the entrance of the village, there were a few villagers sitting there, chatting and chatting. When they saw a carriage passing by, they all looked over with curiosity.
Mu Yufu was a straightforward person. She took out a few copper coins from her pocket, gave one to each villager, and asked them for information.
Money makes the world go round, and for the sake of the copper coins, the villagers spoke one after another and answered very actively.
In a short while, he found out all the information she wanted to know.
One of the women actively volunteered to be their guide and took them up the mountain to the sect to look for someone.
Mu Yufu readily agreed, gave her ten copper coins as a thank you gift, and returned to the carriage with her.

"There are twelve peaks in Xianjian Villa, and each peak has an elder of the eleventh level of the acquired realm in charge."
The woman got on the carriage, but she was not idle either, and took the initiative to introduce the sect to the family.
"The elders have very strict requirements for accepting disciples. Only those who are extraordinary martial arts prodigies can become the elders' personal disciples."
"Children with average qualifications who enter a sect will not be favored by the elders and can only become outer disciples. They must pay hundreds of taels of silver every year to learn martial arts in the Transmission Hall."
"We have to pay hundreds of taels of silver every year?"
Mu Yufu's heart trembled, and she looked surprised: "With so much money, how can a child from a poor family afford to study?"
"So, learning martial arts depends on aptitude."
The woman agreed: "Children from families like ours don't have the talent, so we should just accept our fate and not waste the money."
“No wonder Xianjian Villa is so powerful and has dominated the northern border for thousands of years.”
Yan Chen was shocked when he heard this: "With tens of thousands of disciples, the annual tuition alone is an astronomical figure, not to mention the income from renting the land..."
The old lady understood: "In the martial arts of the Jiuzhou Continent, the trend of practicing martial arts is prevalent, and all major sects are like this."
Mu Yufu said with emotion: "Being an elder in a sect is much better than being a military commander. You don't have to risk your life in the battlefield. You can hide in a cozy nest and concentrate on practicing, and you can also pursue immortality."
“Everyone’s pursuits and missions are different.”
The old lady was not happy with her words and hit her with her cane as a warning: "Don't say such things again in the future. We are new here, so we must be careful in what we say and do, and we can't do whatever we want."
"What the old lady taught me is..."
Mu Yufu stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully: "My granddaughter just said it casually. I won't do it again in the future."
"It's good to know."
The old lady smiled with satisfaction and couldn't bear to blame her too much.

When the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw the bustling streets with cars and people, and the sound of vendors calling out their wares.
In the teahouse, tea drinkers sip the fragrant tea, chat and laugh.
The storyteller told the stories of heroes in a vivid way, which drew loud cheers from the audience.
Mu Yufu stopped the carriage and took a walk around the nearby grain store and clothing shop to get a general idea of the local prices.
"Fortunately, we bought enough food and clothing. The prices here are more than twice as expensive as in Qingshui County. There are also very few varieties of fruits and vegetables. Most of them are cold-resistant radishes and ferns. There are hardly any cabbages."
"In such a cold place, it's good enough to be able to grow vegetables."
The old lady had expected this, and she was not worried because she had food at home. She smiled amiably and said, "Xianjian Villa is far away from Qingshui County. It is not easy to transport supplies over such a long distance, so the prices will definitely be higher."
"It would be nice if we had a fleet of cars."
When Mu Yufu heard her little niece giggling, her soft and tender voice suddenly gave her an idea to make money: "It takes others ten days to get there, but we can get there in three days. We can definitely make a lot of money by doing business."
"Stop dreaming and go up the mountain."
Mu Yulin drove up behind her and broke her fantasy: "Without Sister Yan following you, it's nothing but a fool's dream to build a bridge over the mountain and take a shortcut."
"Cough cough."
Mu Yufu's ears blushed and she coughed twice in embarrassment.
