It was a good meal. There were many dishes that even Du Feng hadn't tasted before. Actually, with his current wealth, he could come here often to eat. But then he remembered that the Huo Clan was watching him, and that he would be leaving North Shore City in a month, so he decided not to look for excitement.
Although Ju He's building was safe, there were still times when he'd exposed himself on the way here. After handing the boy over to the Pagoda Uncle, he kept a low profile and returned to his basement.
"Benefactor, hurry up and bring us some food."
"Yeah, we're starving to death."
Du Feng, who'd originally planned to meditate in the basement, heard the cries of the poor from time to time. They cried out in hunger, hoping that someone would bring them something delicious. But Du Feng had already given them two chances. He wouldn't give them a third.
"Benefactor, we know we were wrong. Please give us some poultry. Seeds are fine too."
"Yeah, we'll sow them well."
The poor's prayers slowly turned into repentance. After a few days, they still weren't willing to go out and earn money to feed themselves.
"Damn it, what kind of bullshit benefactor is this? I think he's a liar. He's so rich, but he only gave us food twice. What kind of stingy savior is he? "
"I think he's a liar. He kidnapped our children."
"No, we're going to the yamen to report him for kidnapping our children."
The poor became irritable from hunger. They complained that Du Feng still hadn't brought them food. They said he was a liar who'd kidnapped their children. Du Feng heard all of this, but he didn't care. He knew that these people didn't have the courage to report him to the yamen. They didn't even have the courage to leave the slums.
Besides, they'd never seen Du Feng's face, so there was no point in reporting him. These people were so hungry that they started cursing and swearing. After a while, they finally stopped cursing and began to search for some trash in the ruins. There were also people who went to dig rat holes and snatched food from the rats.
"Ai!"
Du Feng sighed and shook his head. He felt helpless towards these poor people who didn't know how to improve themselves. It wasn't that he was heartless, but he would never be able to finish helping such people. If they were given the first time, they would want it a second time. If they were given the second time, they would want it a third time. As long as someone gave it to them, they would ask for it endlessly. If he didn't give it to them one day, it would be as if he owed them something.
He simply stopped listening and focused on his cultivation. After this incident with the poor people, Du Feng's state of mind had improved a little. Unknowingly, it had played a role in promoting his cultivation. When the one-month time limit was up, he woke up from his meditative state on time.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … the effect is not bad. In just a month, he has raised his Cultivation Stage to the later stage of the Golden Celestial Stage. He is not far from the third stage. If it wasn't for the lack of elixirs, he would have been able to advance to the third stage of the Golden Celestial Stage. After all, if one only used Tier 2 Immortal Stones and not pills, the cultivation method was still a little simple.
He could finally leave the North Shore Immortal City, and he was feeling a little excited!
Du Feng didn't need to go through any formalities to leave North Bank Immortal City. His mission card was the pass to leave the city. That was because the points inside had already exceeded 100,000, and it had also reached the half-year deadline.
Ah, this is getting interesting. Du Feng took out the mission card and looked at it. It had changed. From the previous mission card, it had become the identity card of the North Shore Immortal City. It was a permanent identity card, but it had a fifty-year expiration date. It could be considered a semi-permanent identity card. With this identity card, he could freely enter and exit North Bank Immortal City for the next fifty years.
Du Feng's belongings were stored in the pocket world in his necklace and storage ring, so he didn't have much to pack. He filled up the basement that he used to live in, then used an escape technique to leave.
"Brother Du, you're leaving today, right?"
As soon as he walked out of the ruins, Du Feng received a message. It was from the uncle with the Pagoda Technique. He really was a thoughtful person, remembering when Du Feng was going to leave. It was just a greeting, but it made Du Feng wary.
Of course, he wasn't wary of the uncle with the Pagoda Technique, but of a problem. If the uncle with the Pagoda Technique could calculate when he would leave the city, then the Huo Clan and the yamen would definitely be able to do the same. The yamen had access to information about foreign cultivators, and knew when Du Feng would enter the city. They also knew that he had completed his mission, so they would definitely be able to calculate that he could leave the city today.
The Huo Clan and the yamen would probably send people to wait at the west gate. That was because the west gate was the first choice for foreign cultivators to leave the city. Everyone knew that the north gate was the docks, but the east and south gates were different districts, and newcomers weren't allowed to pass through those gates.
At this thought, Du Feng stopped and found an alley to change his appearance. Not only had his face changed, but his body had also changed. From a handsome young man, he had become a hunchbacked old man. His face was full of bumps and hollows, very different from his previous image.
The only problem now was that he needed to show his identity card when leaving the city. Identity cards couldn't be faked, so he hoped that the guards at the gate wouldn't sell him out. After all, the city defense wasn't on good terms with the yamen, so this wasn't the biggest problem.
Eh, why are they here?
When Du Feng approached the west gate, he found that the uncle with the Pagoda Technique was already waiting there with the little boy. They were clearly here to send him off, but unfortunately, they couldn't recognize each other now. It had only been a month, but the little boy had grown taller than before. It seemed like the uncle with the Pagoda Technique had given him plenty of nutrition.
Oh, it seemed like he'd been discovered.
Du Feng noticed that the little boy had been staring at him all this time. This child was too intelligent. He could still recognize him even after changing his appearance like this. Perhaps it was a kind of intuition.
"Don't look!"
Following the little boy's gaze, the uncle with the Pagoda Technique also noticed Du Feng. He quickly stopped the little boy from staring, because that would expose Du Feng's identity.
"Yes!"
