Transmigrant Alchemist And His Magic Wagon

Change of plans

Ten days later, in town X.

Spruce trees are still visible around the perimeter of the city but only at the outer limits. Some are allowed to grow in the city so that the environment looks beautiful. Some fern bushes are still allowed to grow only more tidied up.

The streets in City X are only natural land as they are often found in the forest, not in paving or asphalt so that cool weather is still maintained even though the city is crowded with residents.

Hui-style buildings are still a hallmark of the city. Small, large, private houses, kiosks, organizational buildings, everything is still thick with Hui style.

City X is medium-sized even so as one of the cities that became the center of all activities including activities related to the cultivation world, the city is very crowded. Hustle and bustle can be heard from morning to night.

And since city X has grown as one of the busiest cities, many transportation companies are selling their tickets in a place called Terminal.

Supposedly, this city became the next destination for Mu Lian and the others so that they could take the magical transportation to the capital.

But it seems that Mu Lian and the others were still restrained in the village earlier because of Huang Yiming's unstable wife's condition. So only Xiaoxiao, Master Zhengheng and his men were the first to arrive in this city.

The three stayed at an inn called 'Seledry Leaf' to await news of the person called 'young master' by Master Zhengheng.

When Master Zhengheng spoke of the person, Master Zhengheng's tone was full of respect and admiration, as well as the attitude displayed by Master Zhengheng's men.

Master Zhengheng said that the young master was his superior, thus making him Xiaoxiao's superior as well. So Xiaoxiao had to start preparing herself to serve the young master when she met him later.

Xiaoxiao, Master Zhengheng as well as his men arrived at X city just today when the sun was already right overhead.

After they checked in and cleaned up, the three went to the restaurant that was in front of the inn for lunch, as well as making plans for the future.

After eating, Xiaoxiao parted ways with Master Zhengheng at the doorstep of the restaurant because Master Zhengheng had to head to the central post to retrieve the letter from the young master.

"Master go first, immediately return to your room and rest," Master Zhengheng said.

"Pulse. Be careful, master," Xiaoxiao said. Master Zhenheng nodded then left with his men leaving Xiaoxiao who was still curious about the identity of the master as well as the figure of the young master who was often talked about.

Moreover, Mu Lian had often asked Xiaoxiao about it. Unfortunately Xiaoxiao had not been given any information.

"Excuse me miss, we want to pass by," said the voice of the young man behind Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao who from earlier blocked the entrance immediately shifted to give way while looking at the people behind her. The waiter of the restaurant was also in the middle of those people.

"Ah, ma-sorry," Xiaoxiao said nervously to the three rabbit-eared people.

Two young men and one rabbit girl to be more precise. Their bodies look exactly the same as humans but their tails, ears and whiskers have the characteristics of rabbits. They are the indigenous people of Mao.

"No problem" said the young man with brown ears.

Each individual has their own color. And their original color can be seen from the color of their hair as well as their ears.

The three people then left, Xiaoxiao saw the waiter who was replied with a smile by the waiter. Xiaoxiao returned to the inn.

Several people who passed Xiaoxiao along the way to her room greeted Xiaoxiao with a smile or with a nod.

Among the rabbit-eared people, there were also humans. The two races blend in and don't care about differences.

There are also some mysterious people who behave as if they do not care about the life around them. They are cultivators.

Master Zhengheng had once told him that there were many cultivators who behaved as if they did not care about the life around him. The higher their cultivation level was, the more indifferent they were to worldly life.

Yet Xiaoxiao really did not understand Master Zhengheng's remark. Because Meimei and Meng Zhi were nothing like Master Zhengheng said.

Even Mu Haocun and Master Yi, whose cultivation levels Xiaoxiao did not know of, were not. Master Zhengheng was not.

Xiaoxiao went inside the room, then immediately went to sleep. When he woke up, Xiaoxiao saw that it was already afternoon but dinner was still about three hours away.

Xiaoxiao waited for dinner while reading the letters from Han Tengfei.

It looks very neat writing with firm lines belonging to a young man on the surface of the paper.

At the end of the letter there was always a closing sentence; 'Wait for the letter from you, From Han Tengfei'. Ever since parting ways with Han Tengfei in the Eastern Ufuk Valley, Xiaoxiao had exchanged letters with him frequently.

Except today, Xiaoxiao forgot to leave a reply letter for Han Tengfei to Master Zhengheng. Eventually Xiaoxiao could only remind herself to go to the central post tomorrow.

But Xiaoxiao had to change her plan to send a reply letter to the central post because Master Zhengheng said that they would leave for Chen's country the next day.

Master Zhengheng's men had also managed to buy a ticket to Chen's country this afternoon.

Xiaoxiao could only compromise because she was consumed by Master Zhengheng's persuasion that Xiaoxiao could send her letter from Chen's country.

The next day, Master Zhengheng's men refilled the supplies while Xiaoxiao and Master Zhengheng got ready and waited for the inn.

Master Zhengheng's men only had a few hours to refill the supplies before finally bringing Xiaoxiao and Master Zhengheng to the Terminal.

Master Zhengheng explained that the transportation that will take them to Chen country is in the form of a very magnificent ship and operates every five days. Today coincides with the day of the ship's operation.

Xiaoxiao, Master Zhengheng as well as his men entered the building that resembled that stadium. It's just that the building was built with a higher foundation.

The three climbed the steps leading to the terminal entrance. Lots of people have passed there.

Human, rabbit man, old, young, alone, in groups and so on. Even so, the atmosphere in the Terminal still feels conducive because everyone who comes to the Terminal orderly follows the rules.

The inside of the stadium looks like a train station, there are platforms as far as the eye can see.

Then each platform is filled with several means of transportation that look like they are lined up neatly.

Transportation equipment has a variety of forms; palanquins, lifeboats, ships, birds and so forth.

Paranquin-shaped transportation and lifeboats are the most common forms in this terminal where both of these transportation are used to travel with a short distance.

The rest, including the magnificent ship-shaped transportation that Xiaoxiao would ride, were used to travel great distances. For example, cross country.

Hustle and bustle coloring all over the terminal. People who already have tickets wait for their departure time on their respective platforms.

Meanwhile, people who do not yet have tickets are seen queuing at the ticket purchasing counter located on the other side of the terminal, a bit away from the platform.

"Master, our transport is already waiting in the 24th aisle. In half an hour they will leave" said Master Zhengheng's men.

"Good, thanks. Come, Xiao'er. Your journey to Chen's country will soon begin," said Master Zhengheng.

Xiaoxiao was so nervous that she could not reply to Master Zhengheng's words. With his heart racing and stomach slightly heartburn, Xiaoxiao followed Master Zhengheng into hallway 24.

The passageway Xiaoxiao was heading to was located very far from the entrance of the Terminal. Making the nervousness that Xiaoxiao felt increasingly become.

Xiaoxiao also tried to pay attention to the environment around her which was getting rarer and rarer.

"Why is this passage getting quieter, master?" xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Because the passageways above the 15th aisle are departures to distant places. Not everyone travels to distant places on ordinary days like this," replied Master Zhengheng.

Xiaoxiao also just understood why Master Zhengheng's men could easily get a departure ticket to Chen's country despite the sudden purchase.

Xiaoxiao nodded. He then observed the means of transportation in these passageways with their majestic shape. Xiaoxiao had to look up to see the highest part of the transportation.

"Master, is there any purpose why the means of transportation that brought us to distant places were built so large?" Xiaoxiao.

"Ah, that. No need to worry. They were built to be very large as a guarantee of security only really," Master Zhengheng smiled.

"I mean master?" xiaoxiao said getting confused. However Master Zhengheng did not say anything more and simply led Xiaoxiao towards the majestic ship in front of them.

Xiaoxiao looked at the sign with the words Aisle 24 and saw that five people were waiting in line near the wooden stairs that were prepared to help passengers get on board.

Before long, the five-member group was allowed on board by officers who checked their tickets.

Now it was Xiaoxiao's turn, Master Zhengheng's men came forward to take care of Xiaoxiao's regristration, Master Zhengheng as well as hers.

A few minutes later, Xiaoxiao followed Master Zhengheng as well as his men aboard the ship.

...

"Xiao'er, how? Already better?" master Zhengheng said while giving Xiaoxiao some drinking water.

Xiaoxiao accepted it and then downed the water. All the movements Xiaoxiao made slowly. Xiaoxiao still felt drunk after riding the magical ship for five days. So Xiaoxiao's stomach easily felt nauseous if it moved abruptly.

"Already, master. Thanks though. What about young master? I'm sorry for not being able to attend today's meeting" Xiaoxiao said in a worried tone.

Xiaoxiao was afraid that with her absence at the meeting made Master Zhengheng look bad in the presence of the young master.

When he arrived at Chen's country, Xiaoxiao was completely unable to stand up straight so drunk that Master Zhengheng faced the young master without taking Xiaoxiao along.

During the meeting, Master Zhengheng explained that he had raised a disciple.

Master Zhengheng also explained that Xiaoxiao was the first to travel, let alone with a magical ship, so Xiaoxiao was experiencing a vehicle hangover.

"Just calm. The young master understood and left a greeting so that Xiao'er could recover quickly," Master Zhengheng said.

"really? Thank goodness then," Xiaoxiao said in relief.

"Xiao'er just focus on your recovery. Three more days the master will bring you before the young master. The master will also introduce you to the entire people of the Xuanwu clan," said Master Zhengheng.

Hearing Xuanwu's words from Master Zhengheng's mouth, Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. It turned out that the master was from Zhongjian World!

"Master.." Xiaoxiao said but no more words came out of her mouth. There was an impression of horror that Xiaoxiao's eyes emitted. Master Zhengheng's identity was too great for Xiaoxiao who came from this underworld.

"Haha, sorry, master kept it a secret from you. Master just wants to look mysterious," said Master Zhengheng trying to melt the atmosphere.

Mu Haocun, Master Yi, Meng Zhi, and Meimei already knew the identity of Master Zhengheng. Only Mu Lian, Xiaoxiao and Ling Zizhou did not know the identity of Master Zhengheng.

Since Mu Haocun was unwilling to bother explaining the identity of Master Zhengheng to Mu Lian, Xiaoxiao and Ling Zizhou, this opportunity Master Zhengheng used to look even more mysterious in the eyes of those teenage children.
