Chapter 230.
An ancient town appeared in Wang Chen’s sight from afar.
This place had long since ceased to be part of Da Qian’s territory, and as he rode the Great Green Donkey all the way here, the wilderness along the way was deserted and uninhabited, so when he suddenly saw such a town, his heart couldn’t help but be flooded with a trace of affinity.
Even if it is a cultivator, unless it reaches the level of complete transcendence, otherwise very few people can cultivate in solitude for years and years, but also need normal communication and socialization.
Along the path crushed out by the wheels, Wang Chen entered this ancient town.
There are not many buildings in the town, but the green bricks and tiles look very old, the ground is paved with thick stone slabs, there are some stores on both sides of the street, and there are not many customers who look quite cold.
Wang Dust stopped in front of an inn, a young fellow came out to greet him, “Taoist Master, may I ask if you are stopping over or staying, we still have two upper rooms.”
“I’ll stay for one night.”
Wang Chen jumped off the donkey’s back and handed the reins to the fellow, “Give me an upper room.”
Saying this, he handed over one or two pieces of silver: “A reward for you, help me take care of this donkey and feed it some fine material.”
“Okay!”
The fellow smiled with a wide grin and said with a pat on his chest, “I promise to feed your donkey well!”
The big green donkey glanced at him with a crooked head and spewed out a thick breath in disdain.
“Your guest has arrived!”
The fellow didn’t notice Big Green Donkey’s eyes and sang loudly towards the inside of the inn, “One upper room!”
“Please come inside~”
The lobby of this inn had about ten tables set up, with dozens of people seated.
Most of these people carried bows and swords on their backs, with their temples bulging high, giving off an aura of shrewdness.
At a glance, they were jianghu merchants.
A few of them also had bamboo baskets beside them, which were filled with items such as hoes, ropes, and tanning rods.
This inn also provided food and beverage services, and the jianghu guests ate and drank around the table in groups of three to five, some talking and laughing loudly, some whispering, and some shrinking in the corner to drink alone in silence.
Wang Duan’s appearance attracted the attention of many people, and the voices of joking and laughing were reduced.
Wang Dust found an empty table and sat down, took out spiritual rice and dried meat from inside his traveling bag, and said to the fellow who had just come over, “Take these to the kitchen to make a pot of congee, and bring me a pot of fresh tea.”
Although cultivators could also rely on ordinary food to satiate their hunger, eating too much of something without spiritual qi would affect their cultivation, and there was also the worry of the five grains reincarnating.
Wang Chen certainly wouldn’t eat the food provided by the store.
One of the storage pouches he carried with him was filled with spiritual rice and demonic beast meat, in quantities sufficient to feed himself for ten years.
Most of it was the proceeds of seizures.
Although the innkeeper was a bit surprised, he still took the spirit rice and beast meat to the back kitchen for processing.
Immediately afterward, he brought a pot of fresh tea to Wang Chuan.
Wang Chen poured a cup of tea.
Nor did he drink it.
He turned his head to look out the window and gazed at the foggy Great Zea in the distance.
The Great Zea of the Eastern Wasteland!
Legend had it that in the ancient times, a great power had laid down a great formation of heaven and earth in the Eastern Wasteland, which was used to isolate the Immortal and Mortal Realms.
This great formation shrouded heaven and earth, covering tens of thousands of miles in circumference, and there were powerful and unrivaled prohibitions set up within the formation, which even a YuanYing True Immortal was unable to break.
At that time, it was impossible for mortals to enter the Immortal Cultivation Realm through the Eastern Wasteland.
The difficulty of ascending to the Immortal Realm was a difficult task!
However, as time passes by, the ancient powers who laid down the great array have long since ascended, leaving behind the heaven and earth array gradually lost its effect, and eventually collapsed, turning the earth into a boundless swamp.
Though the big formation’s prohibition still remains, above the big zephyr it is difficult for birds to cross, only large flying ships and airships can fly over from the high altitude, but the ground is no longer a complete extinction and dead land.
For thousands of years, countless living beings inhabited in the big zephyr, often there are jianghu guest deep inside the collection hunting, and gradually explored a road to the cultivation world.
This road is known as the “Road to Immortality”.
The town where Wang Chen is now is called Dengxian Town!
The various things about Dengxian Road and Dengxian Town were all told to the original owner by Wang Shaoyuan.
Although Wang Chen’s soul had long since merged with the original owner, these memories were still deeply imprinted in his mind.
Back then, Wang Shaoyuan had set off from Dengxian Town and crossed the ten thousand miles of the Eastern Desert Great Zea to the Immortal Cultivation World!
Although Wang Shaoyuan hadn’t told the original owner about his encounters in the Eastern Desolate Great Zea, he thought that he didn’t know how many dangers he had gone through, and had put in countless efforts and hard work.
Every year, there were some mortals who managed to cross the Eastern Desolate Great Ze, but behind them were buried countless corpses.
Wang Chen didn’t expect that he would actually have to be like these mortals and pass through the Eastern Wasteland Great Zephyr to travel to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
It was something that could not be helped.
Now that he had in all probability become a wanted person by the Guiyuan Sect, even if he had the Thousand Chance Change Mask to change his face, running to Qianjing to take the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce’s airship to return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm wasn’t a wise choice.
Wang Chen even suspected that after the Yunyang faction ran to the world, it was still a big question whether the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had retained this route.
The Guiyuan Sect, which had taken control of Da Qian, was definitely going to reshuffle the cards!
In order to avoid the possible risks, Wang Chen had traveled a long way to get here.
Taking the Road of Immortal Ascension through the Eastern Wasteland Great Zephyr was nothing more than a bit longer, but it was actually much safer for him.
“Guest.”
The store boy’s voice interrupted Wang Dust’s thoughts as a steaming pot of meat porridge was served on the wine table.
A tantalizing aroma immediately spread out in the inn’s lobby.
Many of the jianghu guests revealed a gluttonous look and looked at Wang Chuan with a meaningful look.
Smells like good stuff ah!
The innkeeper put down the porridge pot and took two steps back to swallow his saliva.
He also actually wanted to taste the flavor of this amazingly fragrant meat porridge, but just now, the shopkeeper was in the kitchen personally staring at it, forbidding anyone from stealing it for fear of bringing trouble to the inn.
A young Taoist like Wang Chuan, who came to Dengxian Town alone, would definitely not be a generalized person!
Wang Chen sensed the eyes from the surrounding like wolves and tigers.
He didn’t care, fished out a gold bar from his robe sleeve, and gently pinched it between the index and middle fingers of his left hand.
The yellow gold bar was instantly split into two!
The jianghu guests who witnessed this scene all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Such a tactic could only be performed by an innate powerhouse with the help of innate true qi.
Wang Chen tossed half a gold bar to the fellow, “Is the room and tea money enough?”
The fellow took it in a panic, nodding his head like pounding garlic, “Enough, enough!”
Half a gold bar is almost five taels, not to mention staying in a room for one night, it’s not a problem for a month.
Wang Chen’s bravado was shocking.
And in those gazes that looked at him, there was no more covetousness, instead, they were permeated with awe.
Such a young innate powerhouse, I don’t know how deep his background is, who would be impatient enough to offend him?
Wang Dust quietly finished a can of meat porridge.
