Gem State, Xixia City. This was a beautiful ancient city.
This ancient city was situated on a plateau. The sky was very clear, and there were no continuous battles. The people were simple and honest. It wasn't a flourishing city, but it was very peaceful.
To the west of the city was the endless White Sand Gobi Desert. The view was very wide. To the south was a vast expanse of spirit herb plains that constantly emitted spiritual energy to improve the surrounding environment.
Furthermore, here, one could see the beautiful sunset every evening.
Xu Xiaolan strolled along the streets of the ancient city. She chose to spend the rest of her life in this beautiful ancient city.
When night fell, she stood on the western city wall and stared blankly at the colorful sunset in the sky.
She thought back to the days in the Celestial Court where she watched the sun sink into the sea of clouds. She thought back to the time when she and An Lin would lie on the soft clouds and chat happily. They also made a promise. When Xiuxian United University saw the legendary rainbow glow, they would take a photo together as a souvenir.
These days passed by just like that …
Before she knew it, tears had already blurred the colorful sunset.
Xu Xiaolan stood on the western city wall and watched the sun sink below the horizon before finding an inn to rest in.
Candlelight flickered in the tranquil night. She caressed the beautiful immortal tool — the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Her rank had already fallen to the Seventh Stage Dao Body. At this rate, she would completely become a mortal who couldn't cultivate in another two days.
Xu Xiaolan suddenly realized a problem. If she became a mortal, she wouldn't be able to use the storage ring. What would happen to the items inside? What would happen to the Dragon Sparrow Sword?
"I'm so stupid … I should've left the Dragon Sparrow Sword and the items in the storage ring with An Lin. It's such a waste to keep these things on me."
A look of regret appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face. However, she quickly shook her head and shook this thought away. She cursed herself for being so useless. Why was she still thinking about that man?
She instinctively wanted to meditate, but she discovered that she couldn't draw upon the vital energy of heaven and earth. Only then did she realize that she couldn't cultivate anymore.
Xu Xiaolan smiled bitterly. She blew out the candlelight and lay on the bed.
That night, she couldn't sleep and thought about many things. There were plans for his future life, as well as what to do with the items in his storage ring …
The next morning, Xu Xiaolan found a relatively good residence in Xixia City. She bought it with spirit stones and hired a few maids.
She didn't lack money, and the several hundred thousand spirit stones in her storage ring were enough for her to live freely and comfortably for the rest of her life.
When she was lonely, she could find a suitable husband to marry and spend the rest of her life as an ordinary woman …
No! With this in mind, Xu Xiaolan shook her head with a firm expression.
For some reason, she was very resistant to this kind of life. She could no longer accept another person in this life. Perhaps it was not a bad idea to spend the rest of her life alone …
Xu Xiaolan took out the spirit stones from her storage ring and placed them in a certain stone room in the courtyard. As for the other things in the storage ring, she would find an opportunity to deal with them in the future.
As she strolled along the street, many passersby cast sidelong glances at her. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration.
Anyone would take a few more glances at the sudden appearance of an elegant and refined beauty in the ancient city.
Xu Xiaolan was already used to these gazes, so she didn't feel any aversion to them. She was just thinking about how she should find a proper job. Although she was rich, she couldn't just sit around and do nothing for the rest of her life.
She quickly decided what she wanted to do next. Open a medical center!
Xu Xiaolan was already very proficient in pill refinement. She was a pill refinement master of the Soul Creation Stage, so she could be said to be a grandmaster in the field of pill refinement. Even though she couldn't use vital energy, she could still use her vast theoretical knowledge to treat illnesses and prescribe medicine, thereby helping the people in the city who were suffering from illnesses.
To the south of Xixia City, there was a Spirit Herb Plain that stretched for thousands of kilometers. There were countless types of medicinal ingredients there, so she could do some research when she was bored. This would make her life less boring.
There was another reason why she chose this profession, and that was because she wanted to use her superb medical skills to gain a certain amount of reputation and favor in the city. This way, she wouldn't be bullied by other forces …
She was very clear about her current situation. She was no longer the prodigy of the Vermilion Bird Sect.
Right now, she was only a very beautiful mortal woman. She was a mortal woman who was completely defenseless against external forces … Thus, under these circumstances, she had to learn how to protect herself.
Opening a medical center in this ancient city could help a lot of people. From another perspective, the people she helped were her umbrella of protection.
Xu Xiaolan's current cultivation base had already fallen to the Second Stage Dao Body, so her perception of her surroundings gradually became duller.
The images that were originally very clear became a little blurry.
Her body, which was originally filled with blood and energy, now also felt weak and powerless.
She knew that this was the discomfort brought about by the loss of energy. She would probably get used to it after a while …
M-hm, she would definitely get used to it.
Xu Xiaolan bought a large shop and renovated it into a medical center.
The people in the city quickly found out that there was a female doctor who was going to open a relatively large medical center in a relatively prosperous area of the city. Apparently, she came from the capital city and was very skilled in medicine.
After taking care of matters regarding the medical center, it was already evening again. The sky was still filled with the glow of the sunset.
Xu Xiaolan didn't go to the western city wall to look at the sunset anymore. If she looked at it now, her heart would still ache.
She believed that as time passed, this feeling would fade away.
She would continue living an ordinary and happy life in this city.
Another day passed.
Xu Xiaolan woke up from her sleep.
Sunlight shone through the window and illuminated the room, bringing with it a hint of warmth.
She sat up from the bed with some difficulty. Her slender fingers clenched into fists before slowly unclenching them. There was no strength in her fists. They were soft and weak.
"Who would've thought that this would be the feeling of becoming an ordinary person …"
Xu Xiaolan smiled. There wasn't much light in her eyes and they gradually dimmed.
She walked toward the medical center and began to instruct the servants to prepare the stock of medicinal ingredients.
The weather wasn't very hot, and she didn't do any hard labor. However, she was so busy that she was drenched in sweat and felt extremely exhausted.
After a busy day of preparing the medicinal ingredients, the sun gradually set in the west.
There were red and purple rays of light in the sky, making it look exceptionally beautiful.
Xu Xiaolan dragged her exhausted body back to her courtyard. The afterglow of the setting sun shone upon her body, elongating her shadow into a long shadow.
She was still thinking about her plans for tomorrow.
She was a very busy person. She didn't have time to think about other things, and she didn't have time to sigh about her own life.
Stepping on the bluestone bricks of the ancient city, Xu Xiaolan couldn't help but look at the sky in the distance. The clouds were as beautiful as a painting.
"So beautiful …"
She softly whispered. Her body was covered in the faint yellow color of dusk, making her feel particularly lonely.
Seeing such a beautiful scene, she didn't have the mood to appreciate it.
Xu Xiaolan turned her gaze back to the street and saw a man standing not far away.
She stopped walking and stared at that man in a daze.
The figure looked like that person … but his hair was white …
She felt that she must have been hallucinating because she missed him too much. She couldn't help but shake her head with a bitter smile and continue walking forward.
That man stood quietly on the street, staring at the green-clothed woman walking toward him.
Xu Xiaolan finally saw that man's face clearly. Her footsteps stopped again and she couldn't take another step forward.
That familiar silhouette. That appearance that she tried very hard to forget, but she couldn't forget no matter what …
The two of them stood on the street of the ancient city and looked at each other.
They hadn't seen each other for several days.
They met again.
One had already become a mortal, while the other's hair was as white as snow.
