Speaking of which, the Netherworld Holy Son was quite lucky. When Gu Changsheng took action to destroy the Netherworld Sect, the Netherworld Holy Son was not within the secret realm where the Netherworld Sect was hidden. Otherwise, Gu Changsheng wouldn't have entertained any thoughts of cherishing talent; he would have killed him without hesitation.
However, since the Netherworld Holy Son survived by luck, Gu Changsheng didn't feel the need to chase after him.
He was just an ant. If the Netherworld Sect's leader hadn't revealed killing intent at Yao Xian's coming-of-age ceremony, he wouldn't have personally intervened, even knowing the Netherworld Sect was related to the World Plunderer organization.
Because the two sides were not on the same level at all. But revealing killing intent at Yao Xian's coming-of-age ceremony was something he absolutely wouldn't allow.
Gu Changsheng ignored where the Immortal Emperor was taking the Netherworld Holy Son. Instead, he broke through the mortal passage of the Profound Sky Continent and stepped into the passage alone.
...
Tianrao City has a permanent population of one million. In the cultivation world, this population might just be that of a remote small town, but in the mortal realm, a city with a population of one million is undoubtedly a super city.
Tianrao City is located in the eastern part of the Southern Xiang Kingdom. Although it is not the capital of the Southern Xiang Kingdom, its wealth is no less than that of the Southern Xiang royal city. Its economy is developed, and wealthy merchants gather there.
The more affluent the place, the more expensive the land naturally is.
Tianrao City is naturally a place where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold.
But seven days ago, a tavern appeared in Tianrao City. The tavern's location was excellent, situated in the very center of the wealthy street. This place used to be an inn, and countless wealthy merchants in the city wanted to take over this shop, with some even offering as much as 100,000 taels of silver, but ultimately, they all failed.
Speaking of which, mortals in a world with a complete Great Dao source like the Great Void World are also different from mortals in the mortal world.
In the mortal world, even mortals use source crystals as currency, although they are low-grade source crystals, they are still much higher grade than real gold and silver.
The mainstream currency in the mortal realm of the Great Void World is gold, silver, and copper coins. Logically speaking, as a complete great world, the mortals of the Great Void World should live better than the mortals of the mortal world, but the currencies used by the two are quite different.
The root cause is that mortals and cultivators are not separated in the mortal world. For example, in Demon Suppression City, most of the people are mortals who cannot cultivate, but because cultivators are the mainstream in the mortal world, over time, the currency used by mortals has also become source crystals. This is caused by the general environment.
But the Great Void World is different. The cultivation world and the mortal realm are completely two different dimensions. After the ancient powerhouses separated the mortal realm from the cultivation world, they also intentionally made the mortal realm use real gold and silver as currency. This is also a kind of protection for mortals.
If the mortal realm also used source crystals as currency, then it would easily be targeted by some evil cultivators. Although there is a barrier separating the mortal realm from the cultivation world, there will always be some loopholes that allow travel between the two realms.
However, not everyone in the mortal realm is ordinary. In some countries, there will always be one or two anomalies. Although they possess cultivation, their cultivation is too low, and they are unwilling to leave the mortal realm to go to the cultivation world.
In the cultivation world, they are just ant-like existences, but in the mortal realm, they are high and mighty 'Immortal Masters,' enjoying the admiration of countless people, which they cannot obtain in the cultivation world.
The national teacher of the Southern Xiang Kingdom is a cultivator. Although his cultivation is only at the Transcending Mortality Realm, the Transcending Mortality Realm can also break away from the earth's gravity and fly. In the eyes of mortals, as long as they can fly, they are like immortals, so the national teacher of the Southern Xiang Kingdom is naturally respected by the people of the Southern Xiang Kingdom.
This is the mortal realm.
And the inn that could not be taken over even with 100,000 taels of silver has now become a tavern named 'Longevity'.
The owner of the tavern is a young man who always wears a green shirt. The young man is very handsome. Whether it's the courtesans of the brothels or the wealthy daughters of the city, as long as they have time, they will invite a few girlfriends to the Longevity Tavern. They don't come to drink, they just want to see the owner of the tavern.
It is said that the Longevity Tavern has been open for five days, and the business has been booming every day, but the sales of alcohol are not proportional.
For these beautiful girls, beauty can be eaten, and it can also be used to describe men.
This morning, a long queue had already formed in front of the Tianrao City gate. Most of these people were rushing to the market early. After paying the city entrance fee of ten copper coins, they could enter the city.
In this long queue, there was a woman in plain clothes. She couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but her face was pure, and she had a sparrow on her shoulder. This combination attracted a lot of attention.
But they only glanced at her slightly before losing interest.
She just raised an obedient sparrow, nothing strange.
The woman was naturally Yao Xian, disguised and with a changed appearance. She came to the mortal world to experience the myriad aspects of life, so becoming an unremarkable woman saved a lot of trouble.
There is a saying in the mortal realm that one day in heaven is one year in the mortal realm.
It had only been a few days since Yao Xian left the Yao family, but she had spent several months in the mortal realm. Although it was not as exaggerated as one day being one year, the flow of time in the mortal realm was indeed much faster than in the cultivation world.
After several months of experience in the mortal realm, Yao Xian had also become much more calm, and her temperament had become much more mature, but her pair of bright and clear eyes, like the bright moon, were still so beautiful.
"Ten copper coins to enter the city!"
Soon it was Yao Xian's turn. The guard needed to repeat this sentence to everyone entering the city every day, and he was already like a heartless puppet.
After Yao Xian paid the money, nothing else happened, and she entered the city smoothly.
To be honest, although Yao Xian had been in the mortal realm for several months, this was the first time she had come to a densely populated city like Tianrao City. After passing through the city gate passage, what came into view was a bustling market. The vendors on both sides were constantly hawking, and some mobile vendors were either carrying or shouldering goods, squeezing wherever there was a large flow of people, just to sell two more items.
Where had Yao Xian ever seen such a scene? She was immediately attracted by the scene in front of her.
She first walked to a flower stall. The flower seller was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Yao Xian, she immediately said, "Miss, what kind of flower do you like?"
"Do you have peach blossoms?" Yao Xian looked around and found none, so she asked.
"Peach blossoms?" The woman shook her head. "It's not the season for peach blossoms now."
"That's right!" A trace of regret flashed in Yao Xian's eyes. There were three peach trees planted in her yard, so she naturally knew that it was not the season for peach blossoms, but she still asked anyway.
Seeing this, the woman strongly recommended several flowers with colors similar to peach blossoms. After seeing them, Yao Xian was also happy in her heart. She liked flowers, especially peach blossoms. If there were no peach blossoms, other flowers were not unacceptable.
After picking a few flowers and paying, Yao Xian put a pink flower on her head, and then happily left with a few flowers.
Yao Xian was like a curious baby, stopping to watch anything strange or weird, even the chest-breaking stone trick, which was full of loopholes in her eyes, she watched with great interest.
"So there are so many interesting things in the mortal realm! No wonder so many senior powerhouses have experience in the mortal realm," Yao Xian seemed to have found the secret of the senior powerhouses traveling in the mortal realm, and was very happy.
"Have you heard? Li's daughter, Li Wanyun, has gone to Longevity Tavern again."
"Of course I've heard. Even the courtesan of the Red Flower Tower has gone. I don't know what kind of magic the owner of this Longevity Tavern has, that he has actually made the two most beautiful people in our Tianrao City jealous."
"What are you still saying? If you don't go soon, there won't be a good spot to watch the show."
The two people in front were startled when they heard the third person's words, and they quickly walked towards the city.
Yao Xian naturally heard their words clearly. She ignored what Li's daughter or the courtesan of the Red Flower Tower were. Her attention was on the word 'Longevity' in 'Longevity Tavern'.
Hearing these two words, she couldn't help but think of Gu Changsheng. She knew that Gu Changsheng came to the coming-of-age ceremony that day, but she didn't see him, and in the following two months, she was preparing for her departure from home to gain experience, but she still didn't see Gu Changsheng.
It was impossible to say that she had no regrets in her heart. Now that she heard about 'Longevity Tavern', no matter what, she had to go and see.
As soon as she said it, she did it. Yao Xian quickly followed the three people in front.
