No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 118: Street Card

Xu Shun has been to Qingyun Market many times.

"Since you want to understand the world, why don't you look at the present, look at the Qinghua Sect, look at the Yunshui Sect?" Lan Daoren suggested: "Your cultivation is still very weak, why don't you practice and observe in the Qingyun Market?"

"Qingyun Market is the focus of Qinghua Sect. It is also an important place that affects the cultivation world within a radius of thousands of miles. People from all walks of life are present here."

"suitable for you."

After all, he is his disciple, so Master Lan still takes good care of him.

The cultivators in the Dragon-Tiger Stage are both weak and dangerous.

Danger comes not only from the outside world, but also from within ourselves.

"This... is not impossible." Xu Shun said.

He now just has a goal and a direction, but he has not yet found a way to achieve it.

So we need to find the root of the problem first. Can everything he saw in Wuyou City represent the whole world?

Not necessarily.

The most important thing is that he wants to practice step by step, not by killing people.

No matter how you look at it, killing people while practicing is not a good idea.

If you kill too much, your heart will change and you will become a different person.

Killing can only get rid of the people with problems, but it cannot solve the problems.

The Qinghua Sect is a major sect that influences the world of immortal cultivation, and the Qingyun Market is the core interest of the Qinghua Sect. It is also a window for understanding how the world of immortal cultivation operates.

"In that case, I'll write a letter and you can take it to Qingyun Market. The term of office of a guard is generally three years. After three years, you can make plans." Lan Dao Ren nodded.

The conversation between master and disciple ended.

He also didn't expect that his disciple Zicai would choose this path, just like he and his master Qinggua back then, they chose different paths.

Perhaps this is also how he is viewed by his master.

"Then I'll go!" Xu Shun took Lan Daoren's letter with both hands.

"Disciple, think more and more. If it doesn't work, come back. You still have your master!" Taoist Lan smiled at him and said.

He is the master, so he should protect his disciple from wind and rain!

Xu Shun didn't say anything, but just bowed solemnly to Lan Dao Ren.

Taoist Lan watched Xu Shun leave, then he chatted with Zi Su for a few more words, went to the cave where Zi Shu was in seclusion, and then returned to the main peak to look for Lan Dai.

Continue to deal with the elixir and the matter of the exiled immortal.

The exiled immortals nowadays are like weeds in the field, they might pop up from any corner. More likely, those exiled immortals are here to scout ahead.

The fairyland is connected to many worlds of cultivating immortals!

Xu Shun didn’t know all this, he just came to Feiyun Cliff again.

Feiyun Cliff still looks the same, with huge white doves taking off and flying boats coming and going in an endless stream, bustling with people.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Zicai?"

As soon as Xu Shun arrived at Feiyun Cliff, he saw someone greeting him.

"Ahem...it's Senior Brother Zigeng!" Xu Shun was just about to turn around and leave when he saw Zigeng flash in front of him and hug him tightly. He could only speak awkwardly.

"Hey~" Zi Geng said enthusiastically, "Your master and my master are as close as brothers. We, the younger generation, are born to be half-brothers, right?"

"Junior brother, are you going to Qingyun Market?"

"My shuttle is just short of one person, so I'm leaving now."

Xu Shun turned his head and saw the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths shuttle made of willow leaf cold iron in the distance, shook his head and said, "Brother, I won't go to Qingyun Market today."

Isn’t it good for me to ride on a luxurious flying boat?
Why take the shuttle? Wouldn't you be like a dog if you took it?
"Ah? What a pity!" Zi Geng slapped his thigh and said with regret.

"Senior Brother Zigeng, you have been driving Didi for more than 20 years. Haven't you paid off your debt yet?" Xu Shun said in a low voice.

"Didi only makes small money, just small money~" Zigeng waved his hand.

"How many more years will it take?" Xu Shun asked again.

Zi Geng also whispered: "With the price of this one ounce of green silver, I'm afraid it will take a thousand years to pay it back!"

"Then... why are you returning?"

"Of course I rely on my monthly salary!" Zi Geng said as a matter of course: "My monthly salary was stopped by my master. Now I drive the shuttle just to maintain my daily expenses."

"Once I break through to the Golden Core Stage, my monthly salary will skyrocket, and I can pay it off in just a few decades."

It will take decades to reach the Jindan stage. How much money did you make back then?

Over the past twenty years, Zi Geng has advanced from the sixth level of Dragon Tiger to the ninth level, and is not far from the Golden Elixir.

He can practice so fast while driving Didi, he is worthy of being the master's disciple.

It's just that the approach is a bit wild!
"By the way, does Junior Brother Zicai know how to play cards?" Zigeng suddenly said.

"What cards? Gwent?" Xu Shun was stunned and said.

"What is Gwent? Never heard of it. I'm talking about this so-called Pujie card game. Do you want to play it?" Zi Geng took out a box of jade cards from his ring.

"Huh?" Xu Shun took it and opened it, and saw that the jade pieces as thin as cicada wings were made into fifty-two cards.

Red squares, hearts, spades, black clubs, from 1 to 10, JQK, as well as big and small ghosts, none of them are missing.

Forget about numbers 1 to 10. The J card has two monks facing each other, the Q card has two arhats staggered at an angle, and the K card has two Vajra Kings back to back.

The little ghost is a four-headed Bodhisattva, riding on a blue lion, a six-tusked elephant and other mounts.

The one for the big ghost is a generous and bright Buddha, lifelike.

The whole deck of cards was extremely correct and exquisite, and Xu Shun was stunned by the sight.

"Is this called playing cards?" Xu Shun couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get it from?"

"Poker cards?" Zi Geng said, "Junior Brother Zi Cai is indeed an expert. He actually knows such a difficult name?"

"This thing came from the Shanan Islands. People there are used to calling it Poker. It is said that this card was originally called poker."

"...What a flop of a card game. Will there be other games like 'Run Fast', 'Dou Dizhu', 'Throwing Eggs'?" Xu Shun said quietly while holding the jade playing cards.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there was no such thing before!
It can't be that it was brought here by a time traveler like him?
No, buddy, you came here and brought the habit of playing cards here, and you actually have such a big influence?
How terrifying!

"As expected, Junior Brother Zicai has also played it before!" Zigeng said happily, "Come on, there are two of us on the shuttle now, and with the two of us, it's just right for us to play a few games!"

"It will only take a few rounds to get to Qingyun Market, Junior Brother, hurry up and get in the car."

"Let's play 'Fighting the Heavenly Demon'! Junior brother, you know it, one heavenly demon and three cultivators..." Zi Geng pulled Zi Cai towards the shuttle and began to explain the rules of the game.

The basic gameplay is the same as Landlord.

"Hmm..." Xu Shun nodded and said, "Brother, what you said is concise and clear, but it's a pity that I don't play cards!"

"Ah?" Zi Geng was stunned. It was a pity that he was so enthusiastic.

Xu Shun really doesn’t play cards. He didn’t play before he traveled through time, and naturally he won’t play after he travels through time.

"However, it suddenly occurred to me that I still need to go to Qingyun Market to do some work. Why not take Senior Brother's shuttle?" Xu Shun wanted to know more details about playing cards.

He knew about the Shanan Islands, which were located in the southernmost part of the world of immortal cultivation, and could be passed on to the Qinghua Sect from there.

Is playing cards really that fun?

　I was a bit stuck in this chapter. After my emotions poured out like a torrent, I was left with only emptiness.
