Chapter 621: Chapter 261 Yu’s Commerce Association_2 Chapter 621: Chapter 261 Yu’s Commerce Association_2 Of course, except for that young girl and the man beside her.
At this moment, the young girl and the man were dumbstruck, their faces filled with disbelief.
They watched as Lin Jing and his companion’s lips moved, yet they couldn’t hear any sound that they were making.
This was surely a cultivator’s method.
What they feared had come to pass.
They hadn’t expected that the other party would actually be a cultivator.
The thought of his niece’s behavior just a moment ago made the man feel somewhat flustered.
They were merely mortals, and if they carelessly offended a cultivator, it could lead to a disastrous ending, perhaps even involving their entire family.
Meanwhile, the young girl now sat there too, daring not to move about carelessly any longer.
Although Lin Jing was talking, he was well aware of the two’s every action but didn’t pay them any attention.
At this time…
Shi San continued to ask Lin Jing:
“Master…”
“Don’t all cultivators need to meditate for their practice?

Won’t following me around interfere with your cultivation?”
Lin Jing then spoke up:
“Meditating certainly can improve one’s cultivation, but meditation isn’t everything for a cultivator.
Sometimes, we also need to set everything aside and experience the life of mortals.”
Shi San shook his head and said:
“I don’t understand…”
“Isn’t it enough to just keep cultivating?”
Lin Jing looked at Shi San and then spoke:
“To become an immortal, one must first understand humanity…”
“At first, I didn’t quite understand either.”
“It was only recently that a senior taught me this.”
“Senior…”
“Anyone that you, Master, call a senior must be very formidable,” Shi San said with a look of yearning.
Lin Jing nodded.
He didn’t mention that the senior he was referring to was actually Shi San’s grandfather.
Before they had left, Shi San’s grandfather had engaged in lengthy discussions with Lin Jing on numerous nights.
Knowing that Lin Jing was at a critical juncture in advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage, he passed on his understanding to Lin Jing.
He also taught Lin Jing a method, which was what he referred to as:
“To become an immortal, one must first understand humanity…”
This essentially meant engaging with the world, temporarily setting aside the identity of a cultivator to assimilate into the mortal realm.
However, whether this method suited Lin Jing or not, Lin Jing would have to comprehend and judge for himself.
In fact,
there was another method for Lin Jing.
That was the Blood Infant Pact; as long as the Demon Infant within was purified, and the Blood Infant Pact took effect,
then the epiphanies and the cultivation of the old ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect would all be absorbed by Lin Jing.
By then, Lin Jing would naturally enter the Divinity Transformation Stage.
As for now, the Demon Infant was sealed by Shi San’s grandfather and unable to draw in Demonic Qi, and the Demonic Qi within the Demon Infant was also slowly diminishing.
Nonetheless, the duration of this process could not be determined; it could be as short as a few years or even span several decades.
Therefore, Lin Jing pondered the method mentioned by Shi San’s grandfather while taking Shi San on a wander around.
Soon after, Shi San had cleaned out all the delicacies on the table, and both were ready to leave.
Then, Lin Jing called the server over, ready to settle the bill.
“Honorable guests, your meal amounts to two taels of silver,” the server said to Lin Jing with a smile.
It was only at this point that Lin Jing suddenly remembered, much to his surprise, that this was a mortal tavern that accepted gold and silver, not Spirit Stones.
Just then, the man sitting at the next table spoke to the server:
“We’ll cover the cost for their table.”
Saying this, the man, pulling the young girl with him, approached Lin Jing:
After arriving, the man respectfully said to Lin Jing:
“Esteemed immortal, earlier my niece was ignorant and accidentally offended you, and I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Then, he signaled to the young girl with his eyes, who quickly understood and turned around to bow to Shi San, saying:
“I’m sorry…”
Shi San had presumably never been in such a situation before, especially receiving an apology from a young girl.
“It’s…
it’s fine…”
Shi San ‘jumped’ to his feet as if to reach out to help her, but his hand stopped halfway, suddenly unsure of what to do.
At that moment, he seemed a bit at a loss.
Shi San’s face had turned red.
Seeing Shi San in such a state, Lin Jing quickly opened his mouth to break the silence and help Shi San out:
“It’s fine, we are not such petty people.”
With Lin Jing taking the lead, Shi San also quickly followed, saying:
“Yes, indeed…”
“Get up, I don’t blame you.”
Upon hearing this, the young girl stood up.
At that moment, the man spoke again:
“Many thanks, esteemed immortal…”
“We are from the Yu clan’s merchant guild in Mo City.
If you have time, and if the esteemed immortal is willing, you are always welcome to visit our Yu clan’s merchant guild.”
“Furthermore, the president of our Yu clan’s merchant guild is also a practitioner, and he is even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”
“However, an accident caused him to lose most of his cultivation, and he now only possesses the cultivation of the Qi Refinement stage.
If the esteemed immortal is willing to visit, perhaps our president could have a chance to exchange a few words with the senior.”
Lin Jing smiled and replied:
“No need…”
“We won’t be staying in Mo City for long and will be leaving soon.”
“In that case, I won’t disturb the esteemed immortal any further.”
This man was very straightforward.
Seeing that Lin Jing had no intention of visiting, he did not persist and took the young girl and left.
After the man and the young girl had left, Shi San stared at them for a long time, lost in thought.
Lin Jing looked at Shi San and teased:
“What’s the matter?”
“Fancy her, do you?”
Shi San’s face immediately turned red as he hastily denied it:
“No…”
“It’s just that I’ve never seen such a beautiful young girl before.”
Shi San’s hometown, Yunling Town, despite being called a town,
had only a few dozen households, virtually no different from a mountain village.
In these mountain villages, girls started helping with household chores from a young age.
Over time, they naturally couldn’t retain the same delicate features as that young girl.
Moreover, the town was close to the Barren Forbidden Zone and lacked resources, so very few outsiders would visit there.
Therefore, it was the first time Shi San had encountered such a beautiful young girl.
Lin Jing then smiled and said:
“Alright…”
“She’s gone now; let’s move on.
If it’s meant to be, you’ll meet her again.”
After hearing this, Shi San nodded.
Then, the two of them left the tavern together.
After leaving the tavern, Lin Jing took Shi San around Mo City for a while.
Just as they were about to leave, the weather took a turn for the worse, and it suddenly began to rain…
The rain wasn’t much of an issue for Lin Jing.
But Shi San was an ordinary person, and he couldn’t bear the hardship of traveling in the rain.
Additionally, Lin Jing was not in a hurry, so he directly found an inn in Mo City and settled down there.
This time, Lin Jing had made preparations in advance.
He found a merchant guild first and exchanged some Spirit Stones for silver, before finding an inn.
Spirit Stones were not only useful for cultivators, but if ordinary people continuously carried a Spirit Stone with them, it could also benefit their health.
Thus, the exchange rate of Spirit Stones for silver was quite high.
A single Lower Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver.
However, it required visiting one of the larger merchant guilds to exchange them, because many ordinary people had never even seen a Spirit Stone and were naturally unable to exchange them.
…
The rain continued relentlessly, pouring down for two days straight.
Ɲονǥο.ᴄο
Finally, after two days, the rain stopped and the sun reappeared.
During those two days, the two stayed in the inn, and Shi San grew restless.
So, early on the third day, the two packed up and left Mo City,
heading towards their next destination.
The next goal was, of course, Tianxin City, the Immortal City that Shi San was eagerly yearning for.
There was a considerable distance between Mo City and Tianxin City, and they had to traverse a stretch of forest on the way.
In these woods, there were not only wild beasts but also bandits who would rob travelers.
If others wanted to travel through the forest to Tianxin City, it was natural for them to travel in groups or even pay some silver to join a merchant guild’s caravan for the added security.
The merchant guilds had guards for protection, so even if they encountered wild animals or bandits, the guild’s guards could offer protection.
However, Lin Jing and his companion set off directly.
With Lin Jing there, there was no need to worry about either Demonic Beasts or bandits…
