The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 15 - Dong Yang City

When the golden-robed youth heard his sister's words, the corner of his mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes and said, “Hold, stop fooling yourself. How can a girl act like this?” Although he blamed his little sister, there was not the slightest mistake on his face.

After hearing the words of the golden-robed young man, the girl named Linger released Zhao Jiuge's right arm, but her flower-like smile remained as she looked at the poorly dressed young man before her. He suddenly realized Zhao Jiuge was staring at him, and his pale white face turned as red as a plum blossom in the snow. There was panic in his eyes and he lowered his head to look at the ground, but in his heart, it was like a small deer was running everywhere.

Zhao Jiuge was no longer a mountain village youth who had never seen the world before. Killing Wang Dazhuang, his strange encounter with his teacher, and finally his encounter with the plainclothes woman had caused Zhao Jiuge's heart to change greatly. He's no longer shy, little boy.

The old man quickly walked over and clasped his hands. “Little friend, I have not thanked you for your rescue. If it were not for you, the young masters and mistress of my family would have faced a dangerous situation. ” At the same time, he observed the young man in front of him.

"Thank you brother. My name is Mo Shouyi. If not for your rescue, not only would we not have obtained the Blue Moon Grass, but my younger sister and I would have faced great danger. I still don't know your name.” The golden-robed young man looked extremely childish, but his words were extremely ancient.

Zhao Jiuge smiled slightly. “Zhao Jiu's. I just can't stand their behavior, so there's no need to thank me.” His words were neither humble nor arrogant. The old man secretly thought that the young man had the right appearance, spoke calmly, and had the spirit power of a late stage Blood Movement Realm cultivator. Also, from his previous actions, this young man did not look like a hesitant person. He thought about how even though his young master was not a useless second generation, he was not someone who would become great in the future. When he himself died, only the head of the family was left to support the Mo family. Just the thought of this made him sigh and want to recruit this young man before him.

The wrinkled face of the old man showed a friendly smile. “Little friend, the Xiao family won't let this go just like that, and since this matter is my Mo family's fault, it's my, how about you stay with us for a period of time until this matter is resolved? We will also give some refined Blue Spirit pills to you. How?”

"That's right, let my Mo family play the role of host and thank Jiuge." Mo Shouyi smiled and quickly followed up. “Yes, yes, Brother Jiuge should stay at my house for a while and then there will be someone playing with me.” The little girl named Linger was very happy, with a big smile on her face.

Zhao Jiuge silently pondered, and after a while, he thought it was worth it. He had just arrived and knew nothing. It would be best to calm down a little to understand the situation, so he gently nodded in response. Upon seeing Zhao Jiuge agree, the old man and Linger were delighted. The old man wanted to recruit Zhao Jiuge into the family, while Mo Linger was purely thinking about his own feelings.

The old man carefully collected the Blue Moon Grass and carefully stored it before the four of them walked through the forest. Along the way, Mo Linger would occasionally look at Zhao Jiuge and then timidly lower his head. However, he could not help but secretly look at Zhao Jiuge again. Mo Shouyi looked at his little sister helplessly and the corner of his mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes to show his dissatisfaction.

The old man and Zhao Jiuge continued to speak. The old man continued to speak in an attempt to obtain information from Zhao Jiuge. When he found out that Zhao Jiuge was alone, he was very happy, but when he asked Zhao Jiuge about his master, Zhao Jiuge did not give a clear answer. But the old man did not care.

Zhao Jiuge also got a rough understanding of the outside world from the old man. Outside the mountain was Dong Yang City, with the Xiao and Mo families as the city lords. Near Dong Yang City was the Flowing Cloud Mountain, which contained the Flowing Cloud Sect, a small sect. Dong Yang City was only a third-rate city under the Huaxia Dynasty and was on the border, so there were no strong cultivators here.

If the human body is a container, then the cultivation method is used to bring spiritual energy into your body. The quality of the cultivation method determines how far you can walk on the path of cultivation.

Therefore, without a cultivation method, it would take a very long time to gather spiritual energy, so one would not be able to reach the next realm before dying of old age. The most powerful Xiao and Mo families only had people at the late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so one could imagine how bad the cultivation methods around here were. In Zhao Jiuge's eyes, the Spirit Transformation Realm was only the beginning.

The first realm, the Spirit Detection Realm, only allowed one to detect and gather spiritual energy to be transformed into spirit power.

The third realm, the Spirit Transformation Realm, would finally allow one to unleash spirit power to attack.

The fourth realm, the Foundation Realm, was when one could create something akin to a formation within his dantian. It would automatically absorb spiritual energy and purify it into spirit power to allow one to fly through the air.

Dong Yang City did not even have a single Realm Foundation cultivator, which shocked and also disappointed Zhao Jiuge. He wanted to enter the sect to study, but he really did not consider the small sect valuable. Fortunately, the Mo family was just a stopping place. Once he found the route, he would search for a sect to join.

They walked like this for a few days before he finally saw Dong Yang City in the distance. Although it was only a third-rate city in the Huaxia Dynasty, Zhao Jiuge realized that it was not small. After all, how could a mountain village compare to a city? He suppressed his excitement as they accelerated their steps towards Dong Yang City below.

Standing outside the city, he could see three big words "Dong Yang City" hanging on the city wall. Even though it was a third-rate city, it was huge, and while standing outside of it, Zhao Jiuge could feel the age of the city.

After entering Dong Yang City, a mixture of sounds rushed towards Zhao Jiuge. The sounds of people selling, telling stories, and chatting mixed into one like music. The streets of Dong Yang City were all straight and not curved. After touring, Zhao Jiuge had a rough understanding of how to get around the city.

The romantic streets, vibrant downtowns, restaurant luster, and street traces that bear witness to the city's age are all very exciting. Zhao Jiuge was filled with curiosity as he looked around.

“Mo Tua, I'll go visit your house tomorrow. Today, I want to explore Dong Yang City and find an inn to stay at, ”whisper Zhao Jiuge to old Mo while continuing to look around.

Old Mo frowned and said in a blaming tone, “Jiuge, what kind of words are those? You came all the way to Dong Yang City and said you would stay in an inn. It would be like hitting my old face.” 

“How about I take Brother Jiuge around Dong Yang City and then go home together at night?” When Mo Linger heard about looking around the city, his eyes twinkled. Her beautiful face was filled with excitement as she spoke.

Seeing the enthusiasm of old Mo and Mo Linger, Zhao Jiuge felt a little helpless. He just wanted to take a quiet walk around the city first. “I just want to explore the city first. Tomorrow, I will visit all of you.” Old Mo tried to persuade Zhao Jiuge, but seeing that Zhao Jiuge was unwilling to budge, he gave up. He should immediately return and tell the head of the family about what happened a few days ago.

However, Mo Linger's small face was filled with unhappiness. He pouted and his black eyes were filled with bitterness as he stared at Zhao Jiuge. Zhao Jiuge was really busy with the thought of exploring the city and not realizing it at all.

After they parted ways, Old Mo brought Mo Linger and Mo Shouyi towards the Mo family home. Zhao Jiuge casually walked around the street. Everything seems so new.
