Along the way, Lin Xiu had used many teleportation arrays in the domain to arrive here.
The incident with the two beggars was just a small interlude. As the gateway to the Eastern Xuan Region, there were many powerful people in Cang He City. Even the City Lord of a small city was at the Earth Yuan Realm. It was no wonder that his daughter was so arrogant and domineering.
Lin Xiu did not think too much about it. He came to the Eastern Xuan Region to pursue a rapid breakthrough in his strength. He did not care about these mundane matters.
Sitting in the restaurant and tasting the local wine, Lin Xiu felt a little bitter in his mouth and a little tipsy at the same time.
In these 20 years of time, he'd grown from a babbling child to an expert that could be called an overlord of an area, and the hardships he'd experienced during this period of time weren't worth mentioning to others.
Outside the window, there was an endless stream of carriages and voices. After Miss Liu left, the bustling scene on the street was restored.
From time to time, the hawkers would shout and a few children were playing in an empty space in the distance.
A little girl with a ponytail skipped over to the tanghulu stall. Then, she stretched out her hands and stared at the uncle shyly.
"I only have two copper coins, can you give me a skewer?"
The uncle selling tanghulu had an unshaven beard and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes that did not match his age. He looked at the little girl for a while and suddenly smiled.
"Here, take it."
The little girl took the tanghulu with excitement in her eyes and took a bite of the biggest one.
It was a harmonious and prosperous scene.
Lin Xiu couldn't imagine how long the current harmony would last if the Netherworld Palace made a comeback. At that time, the harmonious world would become hell on earth. All kinds of suffering would fill people's lives, and it was very likely that the most vicious things would happen, such as father and son killing each other.
Lin Xiu did not dare to imagine such a scene, and he could not tolerate such a thing happening under his eyes.
After paying for the meal, Lin Xiu asked the waiter to book the best room before going back to meditate.
Lin Xiu took out the Vermilion Fruit that he had never had the chance to consume from his spatial ring. His eyes were burning with desire and the blood in his body started to stir.
He obtained a defensive array formation from the Black Demon Sect's Elder Liu and carefully arranged it. Then, he swallowed the bright and juicy fruit.
Boom!
A powerful life force filled his limbs and bones. All the cells in his body seemed to be cheering, and the blood vessels in his body began to circulate rapidly.
Lin Xiu sat there cross-legged and silently activated the thousand-layer body refinement technique. Not long after, he exhaled white air from his nose and mouth.
One could clearly see with the naked eye that bursts of white qi were constantly circling around Lin Xiu and finally came to the top of his head, forming a strange scene of three elements gathering and five elements forming together.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Xiu finally finished absorbing the medicinal effects of the Vermilion Fruit. He opened his eyes and a glint flashed across them.
He stretched his body and felt the majestic life force in his body, as well as the extremely powerful blood and Qi. Lin Xiu snapped his fingers in satisfaction.
His current cultivation level was only a wall away from the middle stage of the Earth Yuan Realm. He believed that he would be able to cross this threshold easily in no time.
Even in the entire Immortal Martial Continent, it was rare for someone to have such a cultivation level at such a young age.
The sky outside was completely dark and the stars twinkled in the sky. A full moon hung high in the sky, covering the earth with a layer of silver.
Lin Xiu walked out of the inn and was prepared to walk around the streets. Cultivation was extremely important, but he had to pay attention to the balance between work and rest.
Many shops had already closed down and there were very few people on the streets. Lin Xiu walked around aimlessly and breathed in the cold night wind. He felt that his mind had never been so clear before.
He had never forgotten his true goal in coming to the Eastern Xuan Region. Only by competing with those true geniuses would he be able to make rapid breakthroughs in his cultivation and gain enough power to resist the Mu family. Only then would he be able to free his mother from the abyss of suffering.
Lin Xiu arrived in front of a noodle stall. The owner of the noodle stall was an old man in his sixties. He had a head of black hair that had lost all its luster.
"Old man, why haven't you closed your stall on such a cold day?"
Lin Xiu smiled at the busy noodle stall owner and asked softly.
"Little brother, it's such a cold day, hurry up and have some hot soup to warm your body."
The owner of the noodle stall was also an old man with an extremely kind face. He asked Lin Xiu to sit down, then used his big, calloused hands to knead the dough on the plate a few times. With his extremely proficient knife skills, he cut the noodles neatly in a few moves.
He opened the lid of the steaming boiler and nimbly poured the noodles into the pot. Then, he took out a pair of specially made long chopsticks and stirred a few times in the boiling water. A bowl of steaming hot noodle soup was ready to be served.
He exhaled a breath of hot air, then carefully rubbed his hands and placed the noodle soup in front of Lin Xiu.
"Little brother, eat it while it's hot."
Lin Xiu smiled slightly and did not say anything. The hot noodle soup entered his mouth and made his whole body feel warm and indescribably comfortable.
After eating all the delicacies, he would occasionally taste the noodles from the market, which was also a different flavor.
The noodle stall owner watched Lin Xiu quickly finish a bowl of noodles and stood at the side, laughing foolishly.
For an ordinary person like him who did not have any Origin Power cultivation, it was extremely satisfying to be able to see his customers finish the food he made without leaving a single bit behind.
Lin Xiu saw that the owner had no intention of closing up the stall, so he sat there and started chatting with him.
After a while, Lin Xiu also found out that the old man in front of him did not have any children. Fortunately, the current world was considered peaceful and other than a few arrogant and domineering hedonistic sons, the neighbors were considered harmonious.
The old man's body was considered healthy, but his neighbor's son often went over to help fetch water and chop firewood. When the old man said this, there was sincere happiness in his eyes.
"The ways of the world are really good."
The old man sighed, then took the bowls and chopsticks in front of Lin Xiu to clean up. This old man's back view was busy. Lin Xiu took out a gold coin from his arms, placed it gently on the table, and turned to leave.
It was not that he did not want to pay more, but money moved people's hearts. One gold coin was enough to cover a month's expenses for an ordinary family, and it was not enough to make people greedy at the sight of money.
Stepping on the moonlight, Lin Xiu's figure became longer and longer. Looking from afar, there was actually a faint feeling of incompatibility with this world.
