No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Chapter 81: Qingzhou Passage, Hello, Teacher

Ten days passed.

The official passage of Qingzhou.

Traffic was heavy there, and it was the official passage that led to the nineteen ancient cities.

The official passage in Jin Nation was used for the transportation of resources and official documents and information. Officials who didn’t belong to the imperial court would not be allowed to take that passage.

However, immortal cultivators belonged to the exception and could take that path.

Su Changyu and Ye Ping were walking together.

The official passage was crowded and there were several caravans there. They were all immortal cultivators.

The Sword Dao Meet in the ancient city of Qingzhou happened once every ten years, and the cultivators of the neighboring regions would come over to study and learn too.

That was also the reason that the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was very important to the various trade unions.

It was not as simple as buying and selling things. Sometimes, the value of the store brand was also extremely important.

“Have you heard? A ruthless man has come to the ancient city of Qingzhou and set up a sword platform at the entrance. Those who want to participate in the competition must take that path.”

“What? There’s such a menacing person? There are so many talents in Qingzhou, but there’s still such a brazen person?”

“Brazen? You probably don’t know that this person has already won 170 matches and defeated the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect and White Cloud Sword Sect. Basically, the disciples of all the prestigious sects in Qingzhou have lost to him.”

“170 consecutive victories? The Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect disciples lost too?”

In the official passage, voices sounded and many people were discussing fervently about the ancient city of Qingzhou.

Not only were the people in Qingzhou discussing it, everyone in Jin Nation were discussing it too.

The sword platform attracted a lot of attention and there were 170 consecutive victories, which was even more exaggerating.

On the official passage, Su Changyu didn’t feel much when he heard their discussion.

Those were matters between geniuses, which had nothing to do with him at all.

Anyway, he wasn’t going to go join in the discussion. It wouldn’t embarrass him either.

At this moment, a commotion sounded from behind.

“Ancient Beast Warhorse?”

“Wow, a warhorse like this is worth at least a few hundred taels of silver, right?”

“Brother, can you not embarrass me? This is a warhorse that’s the offspring of an Ancient Beast Warhorse that mated with a demonic beast. It’s worth at least thousands taels of gold.”

“Thousands of taels of gold? Do you think I’m a fool? A horse like this is worth a thousand taels of gold?”

“Duh. See for yourself, this horse is not the same as ordinary horses, this is a warhorse. It can be used in war and survive in all kinds of harsh environments. They also said that it can travel 1,500 kilometers a day, and making it travel 500 kilometers would be an insult. Do you know that it’s worth 3,000 taels of gold?”

“Most importantly, this warhorse is usually for the royals of Jin Nation. In other words, it can’t be bought with money, and the people on this carriage must be rich or noble.”

“3,000 taels of gold for one? That’s almost the price of my lunch.”

“Brother, stop bragging, it’s pointless.”

“There’s actually so much knowledge involved in a horse, now I know.”

The people were actively discussing.

At this moment, the warhorse behind the passage gradually appeared too.

The warhorses were all wearing armor and each horse was far stronger than ordinary ones.

Besides, each one of them had a menacing gaze.

They were galloping uniformly on the passage, attracting the attention of everyone.

It was a team of twenty followers who were riding on ancient beast warhorses, each looking indifferent and aloof.

However, the most luxurious thing was not the ancient beast warhorses, but the carriage among the team.

The entire carriage was pulled by six ancient beast warhorses, and the carriage itself was made of gold and gemstones.

It was a glorious way to travel.

Everyone on the passage was staring at the carriage.

Immortal cultivators were allowed to use the official passage, but Sword Kinesis Flight was prohibited. Hence, the only thing that could be used for showing off was carriages.

Not counting the rest, the 26 warhorses alone were already worth 78,000 taels of gold.

After doing the math in his head, Su Changyu was extremely shocked.

78,000 taels of gold.

What concept was that?

The Qingyun Dao Sect would never earn that much money in an entire lifetime.

‘The wealthy people are just that outrageous.’

Looking at the warhorses, Su Changyu’s heart was filled with envy, but he soon felt upset again.

He didn’t know if he would ever have the chance to sit in such a carriage.

‘That should be it.’

Su Changyu watched quietly.

However, he knew that if he never got the chance to board such a carriage in this lifetime, he would have to wait for the next lifetime.

Without saying anything, Su Changyu went forward with Ye Ping.

Meanwhile, Ye Ping was thinking about the issues pertaining to merit.

Ten days ago, he was in the Linhe Ghost Grave. He spent seven days expiating the resentful spirits.

He would expiate every resentful spirit he saw within 500 meters.

Ye Ping had 700 power of merit in total.

Yes, 700.

After all, the resentful spirits were not ordinary ghosts.

Although the Linhe Ghost Grave was said to have a million resentful spirits, the spirits would actually kill each other and devour each other’s resentment to improve themselves.

Hence, that was quite an exaggerated number. Within seven days, Ye Ping expiated 700 resentful spirits, which was quite an impressive feat.

The famous Buddhist disciple Kong Hai would rejoice if he could expiate just 100 resentful spirits in seven days.

Ye Ping planned to go to the ancient city of Qingzhou and think about how to use his newly attained power of merit.

“Pull over, pull over.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

A handsome man got off the carriage and called for the carriage to stop.

In an instant, the whole carriage stopped, and the twenty entourage looked around vigilantly.

The leader was puzzled.

“You are?”

His eyes were full of curiosity.

Even the other cultivators on the official passage were very curious.

“Teacher, Teacher.”

The handsome man who came out from inside the carriage shouted to the left, piquing the curiosity of countless cultivators.

His voice sounded.

Ye Ping, who was calculating the power of merit, suddenly came back to his senses.

He looked in the direction of the voice.

It was rather familiar and he turned to the right to take a look.

Soon, a familiar face appeared in front of Ye Ping.

“Li Yu?”

Ye Ping was rather shocked.

He knew the handsome man on the carriage and was on good terms with him.

When he first transmigrated, Ye Ping was focused on studying, and some time later, he attended a few literature gatherings.

Ye Ping built a good reputation in that circle because everyone sang praises of him, and from time to time, he would say some brilliant lines. As he got more famous, he met more and more people too.

Hence, Ye Ping also participated in several large literati gatherings and even set up a drinking contest during a banquet while in a drunken stupor. He then shot to fame.

After becoming famous, Ye Ping came into contact with immortal cultivation by chance and learned that there were immortal cultivators in this world.

Hence, he gave up on literature and started cultivating immortality. In the end, he landed in Qingyun Dao Sect.

The handsome man on the carriage was clearly one of his fans whom he had met during a large event.

Since he wrote an article at the event, Li Yu had been pestering himself everyday, declaring his desire to become Ye Ping’s disciple, but Ye Ping didn’t take him in because Li Yu was only a few years younger than Ye Ping and Ye Ping was too embarrassed to become his master.

After that, Li Yu left while Ye Ping went to practice immortal cultivation. Hence, they didn’t meet for more than half a year.

Ye Ping was surprised as he didn’t expect to run into him there.

“I’m Li Yu. Greetings, Teacher.”

After seeing Ye Ping’s reaction, Li Yu was immediately overjoyed as he leaped off the carriage excitedly and hurried towards Ye Ping to bow to him respectfully.

“Brocade Gold River robe?”

Su Changyu, who was at the side, immediately recognized what Li Yu was wearing and was astonished.

He was even more shocked than when he saw the warhorse.

It was because Li Yu was wearing a brocade robe that was from a limited edition series of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, which was more than dozens of times more expensive than the robe he was now wearing. It was short in supply too and was simply priceless, as only 600 of those robes were available in the Ten Kingdoms.

Those who could wear such clothes were truly the upper echelons.

‘Where did this kid come from?’

‘He seems to know Ye Ping too.’

‘Who exactly is Ye Ping?’

‘A painting of his is worth at least 10,000 taels of gold.’

‘He knows a wealthy person too?’

Su Changyu’s heart was filled with shock.

He discovered that Ye Ping seemed to have a lot of secrets.
