Time flowed by like flowing water.
A hundred years could change many things. To the mortals of the Xia people's world, the name 'Dongbo Xue Ying' had already become a legend. There were even biographies of Dongbo Xue Ying circulating around! Even for the Transcendents of the Xia people... having not seen Dongbo Xue Ying for a hundred years, their memories of him had already started to fade.
Dongbo Xue Ying brought his wife to travel around the Xia people's world. Only a few of his close friends knew of his whereabouts. Ordinary Transcendents did not even know where he was.
The Xia people's world was located in a beautiful ancient city in the southeast of the mainland, 'Baijiang City'.
In Baijiang City, there was a restaurant that had been open for more than ten years. Its name was' Dongyu Restaurant '. The owner of the restaurant was a young couple. The man seemed to be ill and his face was pale. However, he treated his customers very well. His wife was quite beautiful, but she rarely appeared in the restaurant.
"Baijiang City's spring is really beautiful. It's a different scenery from Water Rites Town." In a corner of the second floor of the restaurant, a man dressed in white was holding a paintbrush. He sat there and looked at the scenery outside through the window. There was a street outside, and beside the street was a river. On both sides of the river, there were weeping willows. Thousands of weeping willows danced in the wind. There were also plum blossoms and other unknown flowers blooming.
The sunlight from the south was even more dazzling and colorful. When it shone on the green trees and red flowers, the colors became even more colorful.
Dongbo Xue Ying had lived in Baijiang City for fifteen years. However, he still liked this city very much.
All these years...
He and Jing Qiu had already traveled to every city in the Xia people's world. Regardless of whether it was a county city or a small city, they had even stayed in some of their favorite places for a long period of time. They had lived in oases in deserts, on prairies, on mountain peaks for a long time, and on islands. There were also countless delicacies that they loved the most!
For example, when they opened this restaurant in Baijiang City, they had poached two of their favorite chefs and offered them extremely good conditions. The two chefs cooked very little every day. Other than serving Dongbo Xue Ying and his wife, they only cooked a small amount for outsiders. Most of the dishes were cooked by their disciples. Even so, the Dongyu Restaurant had gained quite a reputation in White River Town over the past ten years.
"Yeah. The most beautiful thing in White River City is spring. If you miss it, it'll be gone forever." Dongbo Xue Ying sat there muttering to himself. One of his hands was pressing on the paper, and the other was holding a paintbrush, drawing on the paper. His paintbrush was like a knife, and each stroke was precise and exquisite. He had clearly drawn out the ravine on the bark of a weeping willow by the roadside.
"Boss, this painting is really good. Sell it to me for ten gold coins." A silver-haired old man walked over. The old man looked at the painting with an infatuated look.
"100 gold coins, I won't sell anything lower." Xue Ying casually muttered, "I say, Old Chou, don't keep tormenting me. Don't tell me you don't know the rules of selling paintings? This kind of small painting is 100 gold coins, I won't sell any lower. "
"You haven't finished painting yet." The silver-haired old man muttered, "We've known each other for more than ten years. Moreover, your paintings are too expensive. 100 gold coins is enough to buy a Star Breaking Crossbow and hire a group of Knights. Look, how many paintings have you sold after so many years? It's been more than ten years, and I remember that the number of paintings sold can be counted with one's fingers. But you've already painted more than a thousand paintings! Moreover, even the paintings of famous masters are usually only worth a hundred to a thousand gold coins. "
"I'm not famous, but Old Chou … I'll give you one word. Buy it or leave it!" Dongbo Xue Ying grinned and glanced at the old man.
He could tell that the old man really liked his paintings.
This old man really liked his paintings. Xue Ying questioned himself. Regarding painting techniques and artistic conception, he was absolutely not inferior to those mortals' 'experts'! Of course, his paintings were not packaged or boasted, so he didn't have any fame.
However, he was just playing for fun.
Moreover, every painting contained some of Dongbo Xue Ying's comprehension towards spear arts. If one's mastery of spear arts had reached the level of a master, they might be able to comprehend a thing or two. In the past few years, he had sold a total of five paintings. Among them, three were bought by Palace Head Chen, Mountain Lord He, and Yuan Qing. The other two were bought by a spear expert and a young master from a rich family. That young master was even a good friend of his.
As the owner of a restaurant, he had made many friends, and this' Old Chou 'was one of them! He was too stingy! Of course, it could also be because the price of his paintings was too high.
"Hmph!" Dongbo Xue Ying suddenly snorted. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his fingers trembled. Instantly, a stroke appeared on the painting, and it was ruined.
"Ai." Dongbo Xue Ying stood up and tore the painting.
"Don't." The silver-haired old man hurriedly said, "You can give this to me."
But Dongbo Xue Ying tore it in two or three moves, "Old Chou, if it's not done well, I won't keep it."
It was like the pursuit of the extreme in spear arts.
Painting was the same as spear arts. If it was not done well, he would rather destroy it than keep it.
"How heartache." The silver-haired old man, Old Chou, shook his head.
Dongbo Xue Ying laughed.
When he and Jing Qiu moved out of White River City, he would gift a painting to Old Chou as a gift. But for now, everything had to be done according to the rules. Without paying a hundred gold coins, don't even think about taking away a painting.
Dongbo Xue Ying stood up and walked towards the stairs. He frowned and thought to himself, "The effects of the Hundred Bitter Cycle are getting weaker and weaker!"
After consuming it for over a hundred years, the Six Ghosts Resentment hexing poison in his body had gradually adapted to it, and the effects of the Hundred Bitter Cycle were getting weaker and weaker! Even if he had just consumed it, the suppressive effects were already very weak, and the pain was terrifying. Not long after, the medicinal effects would completely disappear, and he would have to consume it every two hours. It could be said that he was constantly being tortured by this terrifying pain.
Time and time again, Dongbo Xue Ying had the urge to drink the antidote. Although he knew that the effects were weak, it was still better than nothing. But he still endured it!
"I finally understand why many people who are poisoned don't live past a hundred years. It's easy to endure it once, but to endure it day and night … it's really difficult. " Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself, "But this can be considered as training my spirit and willpower. I'm afraid that in the entire mortal world, my spirit and willpower should be ranked at the very top?"
Initially, he was in so much pain that he couldn't control his body and would roll around. But now, he would only occasionally lose control of his muscles under extreme pain.
This was all due to the suppression of willpower.
"Master." The gray-robed man who was leaning against the railing and drinking leisurely walked over and said softly.
"Swordsman, don't worry about me." Dongbo Xue Ying said as he walked downstairs.
Swordsman was the fifth of the 'Five Shadows' from the Deity World.
When Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu traveled outside, they would need subordinates to handle some miscellaneous matters. Thus, they brought along their weakest subordinates, the White Fog Ape and Swordsman!
… …
Walking down the stairs, Bei Feng walked through the back door of a restaurant and entered a courtyard.
This was the residence of Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu for the past ten plus years.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
Crisp sounds rang out one after another.
With a smile on his face, Xue Ying entered the training grounds. Within the training grounds, there was a group of people practicing their spear techniques. The youngest of them was probably only six or seven years old. Their spear dance was quite interesting and fun. The oldest was already over twenty years old, and their movements were extremely graceful.
"Master." "Master."
When Dongbo Xue Ying arrived, they stopped and greeted him.
"You guys can continue. There's no need to mind me." Dongbo Xue Ying smiled. Because he was teaching spear arts for free, some of the children in the surrounding areas would come over to learn spear arts! However, he was only teaching them basic spear arts. Even if some of them had been practicing diligently for a few years, although he had taught them Dou Qi techniques, they looked very ordinary on the surface. So far, he had only taught them Dou Qi techniques to five disciples.
Thus, there were not many people who came here to learn spear arts.
Most of the neighbors probably thought that … this place was meant to look after the children?
"Thunder Mist." Dongbo Xue Ying suddenly called out.
"Hua." Immediately, a white-haired old man arrived at the training field and walked over. This white-haired old man … was the White Fog Ape. Thunder Mist could transform into mist, and it could also change into various forms. Naturally, it was better to transform into a human form when traveling outside.
"Master." The white-haired old man greeted respectfully. The youths who were practicing spear arts did not find it strange at all, because they knew that this was Butler Bai! They had heard that he was a Star realm expert!
"Hurry up and get ready, the Palace Lord Chen is here." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Yes." The white-haired old man immediately retreated.
