Although he admired Qiao Feng's character, Ye Xuan did not pay any more attention to Qiao Feng after watching that play. Instead, he changed his mind and appeared in Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.
When will the singing and dancing of the West Lake stop?
The warm wind intoxicated the tourists, and they treated Hangzhou as Bianzhou.
As the capital of a country, Bianjing was indeed very prosperous. There were tall buildings, pedestrians, and the surrounding shops were as dense as a forest.
Walking on the streets, walking in the alleys, storytellers, performers, and hawkers, all of them entered his ears one by one, allowing him to blend into the human world from his high and lonely place.
Walking slowly on the streets, he would visit some shops from time to time. He realized that the resources of the Song Dynasty in this world were actually more abundant than he had imagined. Food, toys, and necessities were all available. It should be comparable to modern times.
After strolling on the streets for half the morning, Ye Xuan thought for a moment and walked toward the nearest restaurant at noon.
Although at his current realm, he would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for tens of thousands of years, as a former mortal, he was still used to eating. When he saw some delicious food, he could not help but want to try it.
As usual, Ye Xuan chose a private room on the upper floor of the restaurant. This time, it was on the third floor. Sitting by the window, he could immediately see a small part of Bianjing in his eyes.
He threw an ingot of silver to the waiter and asked him to serve the restaurant's good wine and dishes. Not long after, fragrant and delicious food was presented to his table.
There was brown fried crispy pork, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There was the slightly yellow and crispy fried tofu that melted in the mouth. There was the jade-green and extremely tender Jade Shredded Fish. There was the delicate and delicious Hibiscus Sea Cucumber. The soup was delicious, sour, spicy, and smooth. Other than that, there was also braised pork belly, fried buns, rice with eight treasures, stewed noodles, four plates of dried fruits, eight plates of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and a bottle of Nu 'er Hong, which was said to be aged for ten years. The fragrance assailed the nostrils and made them salivate.
Ye Xuan didn't stand on ceremony. He first poured himself a glass of wine, drank it, and then picked up his chopsticks to eat.
Seeing Ye Xuan's attire, the surrounding drinkers thought that he was just a young master. He would not be able to finish all the food and drinks he ordered. They were afraid that he would waste such a big table. However, they did not expect that Ye Xuan would drink and eat slowly at the same time. In less than an hour, he had finished all the food and drinks on the table, which surprised all the other diners who wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Ye Xuan did not care about these people's gazes. Instead, he was thinking about his next plan.
Obviously, with his current situation, it was best not to return to the Untainted Land for the time being. Since he had found this world, it was naturally best to recover from his injuries and the Spiritual Treasures in his hands. Only by recovering a little would he have enough strength to deal with the existence in the Forbidden Land, and only then would he have a sliver of a chance to escape from that Forbidden Land.
However, this was obviously not going to be easy. Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness, and his Divine Consciousness surged into his Spirit Ocean to check on the treasures in the Spirit Ocean. The three acquired treasures were still floating in the Faerie Spirit Lake, and there were no signs of recovery.
Based on his estimation, it would not be easy to repair these three Acquired Treasures even if they were soaked in the Immortal Spirit Lake. It might take at least a few years.
This was even with the Immortal Spirit Lake's water that had previously nurtured the Fairy Rainbow Lotus. The three Acquired Treasures could be considered to be of the same origin, so they could still be repaired with the Immortal Spirit Lake's water. Otherwise, not to mention a few years, even hundreds or thousands of years and countless spiritual materials might not be able to repair them.
As for the Nine-Nine Soul Dispersing Gourd, it was also in the process of repair. His Divine Will could only vaguely sense a trace of his refinement, and he did not know when it would be repaired.
He sighed slightly. It seemed that he would not be able to return to the Untainted Land in a short period of time. In that case, he would stay in this world for a period of time. It just so happened that he had not experienced the human world for hundreds of years, so he could experience it again.
Three days later, in a corner of Bianjing's Yongding City, a courtyard was bought by a foreign young man. The entire courtyard was divided into four sections. Although the total area was less than three acres, the environment was rather quiet. There were green trees and green pines in the first section, fake mountains in the second section, pavilions in the third section, and gardens and ponds in the fourth section. It was extremely beautiful.
In order to buy this courtyard, Ye Xuan spent a total of two thousand taels of silver.
Of course, he did not have money, but with his ability to casually turn stone into gold and create things out of nothing in this world, it was naturally not a big deal.
After buying a courtyard, there was naturally a need for servant girls and servants. After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan went to the broker house and bought four little servant girls around 15 years old, two women to wash and cook, and five servants to watch the door and do odd jobs.
After changing the furniture in the house, he invited craftsmen to come over and redo some of the dilapidated areas in the courtyard. Half a month passed just like that.
In the evening, Ye Xuan sat in the pavilion, reading the chess record he found in the bookstore while playing slowly with the chess pieces in his hand.
At this time, a teenage servant girl came over and looked at Ye Xuan, asking, "Young Master, Aunt Zhou said that the meal is ready. She asked me if I should go to the hall to eat or bring it here."
At this time, a teenage servant girl came over and looked at Ye Xuan, asking, "Just eat in the hall. I'll go over after I finish this game." Ye Xuan did not even raise his head.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the little servant girl's mouth twitched. She glanced at the two little servant girls who were about her age standing beside Ye Xuan. Suddenly, one of the prettier little servant girls could not help but laugh and said, "Young Master, you'd better go to eat first. You've been playing chess all day."
As the maid laughed, the other two maids laughed as well. The maid who had asked the question before said with a smile, "That's right. Young Master, you may not be suitable to play chess. Why don't you change to something else?"
"What do you little girls know? Do you really think that I'm playing chess? I'm deducing the operation of the Heavenly Way. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Ye Xuan lifted his head and glanced at them when he had heard the girls teasing him. Wearing a faint smile on his face, he said, "That's right.
However, these servant girls obviously did not believe Ye Xuan's words. They had never heard of deducing the operation of the Heavenly Way. It was obvious that the young master was lying.
"Okay, then let's go eat first." Ye Xuan smiled slightly and did not care that the little servant girls were laughing at him. He waved his right hand and the chess pieces on the chessboard immediately flew into the two chess boxes.
No one saw that after the chess pieces were thrown into the boxes, they were like countless stars falling into the galaxy. They integrated into the galaxy and emitted a dazzling starlight …
