Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 12
The front garden, Mingxin Pavilion.

Lin Xuanzhi sat opposite a 25-year-old youth in Xuanfu.

The young man has a strong and well-proportioned figure, a handsome face, and his sharp-edged face looks a bit cold and indifferent. His eyes are as black as jade, and there are flashes of fire from time to time, obviously he is also a man of cultivation.

Both of them had smiles on their faces, and they chatted happily with each other. It was obvious that they had reunited after a long absence, and they had endless words to talk about.

"You have been walking for two years, did you expect that you have already broken through gas production?"

Su Jincheng nodded slowly, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved, he took a sip of the fragrant tea and said, "I have traveled many places with Master, and I have seen my Dazhou rivers and mountains, and I made a breakthrough on the way back not long ago."

Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion and Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion have a close relationship, and many of them are married. Lin Xuanzhi and Su Jincheng also grew up together.

Especially after Lin Xuanzhi decided to practice Taoism, the relationship between the two became even closer.

And Su Jincheng is a "dao friend" of Lin Xuanzhi in the capital of gods.

However, compared to Lin Xuanzhi's ambitious plans and high ambitions, Su Jincheng worshiped a guest minister from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion as his teacher seven years ago. His master went to travel and practice.

Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard Su Jincheng tell about his travel experience.

"If nothing happens when you come back, third brother, why don't you write a travel note and send it to me?"

Su Jincheng glanced at Lin Xuanzhi, pretending to be hesitant, and said, "Okay, look at today's Huangya Immortal Tea."

"By the way, the peach blossom feast the day after tomorrow?" Lin Xuanzhi smiled with satisfaction.

"I want to go, if I knew it earlier, I would come back a few days later, just in time to miss it directly."

He was less willing to deal with that kind of occasion than Lin Xuanzhi, and he was physically and mentally exhausted sitting and eating.

"You only came back yesterday, and I'm really flattered that you came to find me today. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Not to mention knowing what shit the other is shitting, the two know each other very well.

Su Jincheng was generous and calm, and said in a calm tone: "Two things. The first is that my master asked me to ask you to introduce Taoist Master Xu Qing in your house."

"The second thing..."

"I passed by Changning County yesterday, and I learned that tonight there is a temporary market where casual cultivators gather. I would like to ask you if you want to experience it."

"You take Guan Peng, I take Xie Yi, and there is plenty of time to go quickly."

Lin Xuanzhi looked at Su Jincheng with bright eyes and said, "Fangshi? Then we must go!"

Naturally, there are formal places selling monk supplies in the capital of God, but they are far less novel and exciting than this kind of gray place.

"As soon as you guess it, you will join in the fun."

"My master said that this kind of random market can also find some good things. You have a good eye, so you don't have to worry about making a trip in vain." Su Jincheng looked at Lin Xuanzhi's eyes and said with a smile.

Lin Xuanzhi didn't refute, but instead asked about his master.

It is said that the master Su Jincheng worshiped was a priest who had been hired by the Marquis of Dingyuan for more than 100 years. His cultivation level had already reached the level of jade liquid, and his strength was not weak.

Seeing his doubts, Su Jincheng took the initiative to explain: "My master's wandering around this time is to collect materials and refine the one-flavored nine-turn-nine-returning jade liquid magic pill, and now the materials are almost complete."

"Nine turns and nine return jade liquid magic pills?" Lin Xuanyi was stunned.

"Daoist Huo Ya is going to make a golden core?!"

There are three grades of alchemy, and those who are middle grades need to be assisted by the nine-turn and nine-returning jade liquid pill to achieve it, and this is not bad for casual cultivators.

Su Jincheng shook his head when he heard the words: "What are you thinking, even if you have a magic pill in your hand, you can't be sure."

Then he said: "There is no rush today, let's go to Changning County first."

It's just a recommendation, Lin Xuanzhi is naturally in charge.

After making some preparations, Lin Xuanzhi stepped on the dragon blood horse and Su Jincheng took their guards and rushed to Changning County after telling the family.

Although there is no official "forbidden air" decree promulgated near the capital of God, so far there are very few people who are not open-eyed and fly away with magic weapons at the feet of the emperor.

In addition to the god capital, there are nine "upper counties" guarding the god capital, with quite different status.

After exiting the south gate of Shendu, go all the way along the official road, and the journey of two hundred miles will take an hour.

Although the capital of the gods is extremely prosperous and lively, rich and charming, it is also majestic and mysterious, which makes the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and overseas countries yearn for it.

But after living in it for many years, Lin Xuanzhi only felt that there were layers of constraints invisibly, invisible and intangible, but it made people feel heavy.

Changning is a county directly under the capital of God. It is more prosperous than other prefectures in many places. The streets are neat and tidy, and the clothes of the people are clean and without patches, and they look good.

After handing over the horses to Guan Peng and them, and letting them go for a stroll, Lin Xuanzhi and Su Jincheng strolled comfortably.

Near Shendu, Changning County is not bad in terms of basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and various exquisite gadgets.

On both sides of the spacious and tidy streets are restaurants, teahouses, garment shops, cloth shops, silver houses, jewelry shops, and various places to eat, which is simply dazzling.

Pedestrians come and go, talking and laughing.

There are ordinary-dressed women and children who are not too old to choose clothing materials in the cloth shop; there are big women who walk on their heels and bring a bunch of maids and servants to sweep around the shops, looking crazy and satisfied.

There are also luxuriously dressed young men hugging from left to right and leading a few handsome men and women to pick and choose in jewelry shops, spending money like dirt.

From time to time, there are small shopkeepers and flower girls who sneak into this street. Selling some exquisite gadgets can also attract young men and women from wealthy families to pull out their pockets.

Lin Xuanzhi was fiddling with a butterfly made of bamboo, but Su Jincheng just bought it casually.

"Where are we going?"

Su Jincheng pointed to the end of the street and said with a smile: "There is a tavern over there, just go there and wait."

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, and then said rather strangely: "You didn't ask Sister Qing to come with you?"

Su Jincheng shook his head regretfully when he heard the words, "She hasn't been in the mansion these two days."

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the tavern he was talking about.

Lin Xuanzhi saw a three-story restaurant standing there, and at a glance, he could find that the decoration of the restaurant was full of delicacy and care.

It is even more so when I go in. The first floor is spacious and open. The wood used for the tables and chairs is a kind of pine wood of relatively good quality, which has a natural fragrance. There is also a three-foot-high table in the middle, and a person is sitting on it. Mr. Storyteller, telling something vividly.

"More than half a step?" Lin Xuanzhi was curious about this weird name.

Seeing this, Su Jincheng explained with a faint smile: "My master said that the proprietress treasured a kind of fine wine, even a fairy would not be able to walk after tasting it. It's a pity that no one has the chance to taste that fine wine."

"Then what are we doing here? Could it be that Fangshi is in this restaurant?"

As soon as the two of them took more than half a step, they saw a tall and thin old man who looked like a shopkeeper ushering in: "It's Mr. Su? Please come inside, please, do you want to go to the private room on the second floor?"

Seeing that there were not many people on the first floor, Lin Xuanzhi simply pointed to a corner.

After taking his seat, the shopkeeper Bai Fu exchanged pleasantries with Su Jincheng, and then he called the waiter over to serve the two of them.

Su Jincheng ordered a few signature side dishes, a pot of wine with tears of beauty, and after holding the bowls, chopsticks and cups for Lin Xuanzhi, he said, "There is a small formation outside half a step away, which can make ordinary people ignore it subconsciously."

Lin Xuanzhi felt familiar, Muggle shielding spell?

"That's why everyone here is basically cultivated."

"Nafang City is not within half a step, but it can go directly from here. We just wait here for the market to open."

"And if you want to cover up your image before going there, the proprietress has something here."

It was only then that Lin Xuanzhi came to a sudden, and after observing carefully with his eyes, he found that it was indeed as he said, and he saw that the storytellers on the stage were all well-cultivated.

And counting my own side, among the five tables of guests on the first floor, three of the tables were obviously stronger than the two of them.

Cultivators also have different "Dao rhymes", which are actually captured and analyzed by the moon.

But after all, it is no more dead than books, not to mention the difficulties, and it is easy to be cultivated to a high level and have a keen sense of perception.

"Ahahaha~"

"Oh, I came late, and I didn't greet the distinguished guests. Mr. Su, please don't blame others."

As the two bowed their heads and whispered, Lin Xuanzhi heard a burst of crisp and unrestrained but somewhat seductive laughter from the backyard of the restaurant.

"Okay! So I hooked up with the proprietress here."

Noticing Lin Xuanzhi's seemingly enlightened eyes, Su Jincheng immediately stared and shook his head.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
