I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 590 The tea is freshly brewed, would you like a cup?

When Xia Yuan arrived in the village, it had become even more desolate than he had imagined.

In the past, while not every household had people around, there were at least people coming and going everywhere.

But now, the entire village road is deserted.

You can only see some elderly people sitting in front of their doors basking in the sun; you can hardly see any young people.

Many houses were locked up, and the weeds in front of them had grown tall.

Clearly, these people have all moved away long ago, and they don't even come back for the Lunar New Year anymore.

However, the area in front of Uncle Ding's house was clean and tidy.

It seems that although Uncle Ding's family moved to Seoul, they still come back from time to time.

But with the Lunar New Year approaching, I'm afraid he won't be coming back!
As for the three policemen who were in Panlong Town, Xia Yuan didn't see the other two besides Du Yu.

Du Yu is now the director of the Panlong Town Police Station, but he is nearing retirement age.

Xia Yuan did not rush to find out the location of the remaining people.

There's no rush to look for them after he leaves Panlong Town.

Anyway, with the original medicine he left behind, even the oldest Uncle Ding can probably live for another ten years or so.

Zhang Changsheng said that thirty years is nothing to worry about.

……

After turning the corner of the last alley in the village, Xia Yuan finally saw the familiar house from his memory.

However, to Xia Yuan's surprise, there wasn't a single weed in front of his house.

It's obvious that someone must have taken care of it before.

Stepping inside, the room was also very clean, though it was slightly dusty.

It doesn't look like it's been uninhabited for twenty years at all.

"That brat is quite thoughtful!"

Xia Yuan smiled.

He only ever gave the key to Qin Shuai, and only that kid was allowed to enter the house to clean for him.

Xia Yuan just didn't expect that even though Qin Shuai had already embarked on the path of the extraordinary, he would still come back so often.

According to Qin Xue, Qin Shuai, Wang Wenjun, and others who cultivated at the Origin Academy formed a small force called the Heavenly Gang Alliance.

Of course, it's not entirely accurate to say that the Heavenly Gang Alliance is a minor force.

They just recruit a relatively small number of people.

To date, the entire Heavenly Gang Alliance has fewer than twenty members.

However, the overall strength of the Heavenly Gang Alliance is not weak.

Their faction has five Grandmasters, among whom Qin Zhi and Fu Hongkang have already become fourth-level Transcendent Grandmasters.

Song Xiaotong and Qin Shuai are at the third stage of the Transcendent Realm.

As for Wang Wenjun, who cultivated the slowest, he has now reached the second stage of the Transcendent Realm.

In fact, if the supernatural system hadn't been gradually perfected, with their talents, only Qin Zhi and Fu Hongkang would probably have had a chance to successfully awaken.

Apart from Qin Zhi and the other two, the chances of the others are slim.

of course.

The reason why they were able to cultivate so quickly was because of sufficient resources and the help of Qingyue and Qin Xue.

If they were to cultivate on their own, they would probably only be at the first or second stage of the Transcendent Realm by now.

However, after the group formed their own faction, they almost exclusively earned contribution points by completing tasks!

However, thanks to Xia Yuan's connections, the tasks they were able to receive were quite good.

That's why the Tiangang Alliance is doing quite well these days.

Besides the five founders, the remaining dozen or so people were mostly extraordinary individuals at the Body Tempering Realm.

While this scale cannot compare to top-tier powers like Eternity and the Galaxy.

But it's already quite good!

However, the Heavenly Gang Alliance usually keeps a low profile, so not many people outside the alliance know about it.

It is said that the Heavenly Gang Alliance will only recruit a maximum of 36 people.

It refers to the Thirty-Six Stars of the Heavenly Gang.

Xia Yuan was quite gratified when he heard Qin Xue mention this news.

The group now has their own direction and goals.

……

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

The time has come to the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in the Chinese calendar!
Xia Yuan has settled down in the village completely, and no one has bothered him these past few days.

It's actually normal.

He didn't know many people in the village back then.

Now, twenty years later, even fewer people remember him.

Not to mention that most of the villagers have now moved to the city.

However, with the end of the year approaching, quite a few people have returned in the past few days.

Whether it's the village or the town, it's a little more lively than it was a few days ago.

However, there was no one Xia Yuan was familiar with.

But at this moment.

On a highway 20 kilometers away from Panlong Town, a car is slowly driving towards Panlong Town.

"Dad, there's hardly anyone left in the village now!"

"Don't keep thinking about coming back to live here. We'll just come back once a year for Chinese New Year!"

In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man, around fifty years old, earnestly offered his advice.

As he spoke, he winked at the young man in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

The young man in the back seat quickly chimed in.

"Yes, Grandpa, if you were in our hometown, it wouldn't be convenient for me to visit you."

Upon hearing his grandson's words, the old man immediately swallowed the words he was about to say in rebuttal.

In fact, he had the idea of moving back to his hometown several years ago.

Unfortunately, her son kept disagreeing.

Of course, most importantly, he couldn't bear to part with his grandson.

"Okay, okay! Grandpa will listen to you!"

The speaker was Uncle Ding.

He looked at his grandson with a face full of affection.

Seeing that the young man's words had an effect, Ding Hai secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Whenever my dad has this idea, he brings up his son, and it always works.

However, he also knew that his father was reluctant to leave their hometown.

This is especially true as one gets older.

Therefore, in recent years, whenever time permits, the family will come back.

Only last year, when Ding Yan was preparing for the college entrance exam, did the family not come back.

As the vehicle drew closer to Panlong Town, Uncle Ding became noticeably more talkative.

"There are definitely fewer and fewer people in Panlong Town now!"

“I still remember when Xiaoyuan and I were working on this construction site, there were still many people there.”

"Speaking of which, it seems like Xiao Yuan hasn't been back for twenty years. I wonder where he is now!"

Thinking of Xia Yuan, Uncle Ding couldn't help but sigh, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Dad, don't worry. Xia Yuan was an extraordinary person twenty years ago, and he's probably already a grandmaster by now." "I heard that grandmasters often have to do missions to earn contribution points, so they don't have time to come back."

Ding Yan listened silently to his grandfather and father's discussion.

He had heard about this person named Xia Yuan since he was a child.

According to my grandfather and father, their family's original medicine was given to them by the other party twenty years ago.

It was precisely because of the help of these primordial medicines that he was able to successfully gain admission to Jiangcheng Extraordinary University.

When Ding Yan was young, he didn't understand and didn't think it was a big deal.

But as he grew older, he realized what it meant to be able to produce ten bottles of Origin Potions twenty years ago.

Keep in mind that at that time, the Extraordinary was just beginning to develop.

Those renowned grandmasters of today were only just beginning their journey on the path to transcendence back then.

To be able to produce ten bottles of Origin Potions at that time, one's identity must be extraordinary.

Not to mention that it was given to someone else!

Especially after hearing that such a person had actually worked as a bricklayer in this remote town and had such a good relationship with his grandfather.

Ding Yan became increasingly curious about this person named Xia Yuan.

So much so that after entering Jiangcheng Chaofan University, he inquired about the name Xia Yuan many times.

Strangely, no one recognized Xia Yuan.

He even asked his mentor, a superhuman, for help inquiring, but to no avail.

Logically speaking, someone who could become an extraordinary being before the Extraordinary Era could not possibly be unknown.

It's worth noting that there isn't a Grandmaster named Xia Yuan.

Even the more famous masters didn't have this person's name.

Therefore, in Ding Yan's opinion, this person named Xia Yuan is very likely already dead!

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to find no trace of them.

As for what my father said about going on a mission.

It's true that Grandmasters take a long time to complete missions, but it shouldn't be twenty years without any news.

However, Ding Yan did not say these words in front of his grandfather.

Judging from the tone of his grandfather's voice when he talked about Xia Yuan, the two must have had an excellent relationship.

He didn't want to shatter the old man's hopes.

Of course, it's also possible that Grandpa had already suspected it, but simply couldn't accept it.

As the group was talking, the car entered Panlong Town.

The sky also gradually darkened.

The lanterns that lit up sporadically along the streets swayed in the cold wind, adding a touch of festive atmosphere to the quiet town.

"Dad, let's stay at a hotel in town tonight!"

"I'll go back after I've finished packing tomorrow during the day."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ding couldn't help but glare at him.

"All you do is waste money! Now that Xiao Yan has been admitted to Jiangcheng Chaofan University, there will be a whole bunch of places where we'll need money in the future!"

"Besides, it's not too late now, it won't take long to tidy up!"

Actually, the Ding family's current situation isn't bad.

Although they weren't exactly rich, they weren't so poor that they had to skimp on the cost of a hotel room in town for one night.

Finally, Ding Yan and his family still had three bottles of the original potion.

This is sufficient to guarantee Ding Yan's cultivation.

But unable to resist his father's insistence, Ding Hai gave a wry smile and had no choice but to turn the car around and head towards the village.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at the doorstep.

"You guys go inside first, I'll go take a look around the back."

Before Ding Hai could give any instructions, Ding Yan spoke up:
"Grandpa, I'll go with you!"

"it is good!"

Uncle Ding smiled and nodded, and the two then walked towards the back of the village.

"Dad is going to visit Xia Yuan's family again!"

Ding Hai sighed; the old man always did this during the New Year.

However, with his son with him, he wasn't worried about anything.

"Let's hurry up and move our things, and get everything ready before Dad gets back."

……

in the night.

Looking at the familiar scenery around him, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Uncle Ding's cloudy eyes.

"My old buddies who used to carry bricks with me on construction sites are now either gone or dead."

"Now that I've come back, I can hardly find anyone to talk to!"

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps to his grandson beside him.

Ding Yan helped his grandfather up, and could sense the loneliness in the old man's words.

However, someone who has only just come of age cannot clearly understand this feeling.

Only when life comes to an end do we understand what true loss is.

The two walked along the familiar path.

Suddenly, Uncle Ding stopped in his tracks.

He pointed to a house with lights on not far away.

"Xiao Yan, look, isn't that Xiao Yuan's house where the light is on?"

Ding Yan looked in the direction his grandfather was pointing.

He used to accompany his grandfather here often, so he naturally knew about Xia Yuan's house.

Of course, he had seen people in this house before.

It's just that it's not Xia Yuan!
According to Grandpa, that person was someone Xia Yuan had helped before, so the other party would occasionally come back to take care of things.

However, the two were not very familiar with each other, so they did not talk much.

The other party usually doesn't live here.

And I haven't seen that person for four or five years!

It's quite strange to see the house lit up tonight.

"It must be that young man, Qin Shuai!"

"Let's go say hello. Maybe he knows Xia Yuan's whereabouts."

Uncle Ding said something, and the two quickened their pace and walked forward.

Upon approaching, the gate was found to be slightly ajar.

"Little Handsome, is that you?"

As he spoke, Uncle Ding gently pushed open the door.

However, the scene inside the house stunned the grandfather and grandson instantly.

On the stone table sat a pot of hot tea and three teacups, the rising steam standing out conspicuously in the cold night.
