Simultaneously, they travel through time, starting from the God Ranking.

Chapter 109 Travels

The trip, ostensibly a travelogue but actually a quest to pick up people, finally came to an end. Fang Xiu returned to Lanxi Town with Lao Jun, while Li Qingning and her group were also approaching the outskirts of Lanxi Town.

Using their compass, they traveled for over a month. When danger arose, the compass could automatically plan routes and help them avoid it.

Some of the people from Li Qingning's village chose to settle down in a suitable place they encountered along the way, while others continued their journey until they finally arrived at the Monster Forest outside Lanxi Town.

Xuan Li went to pick them up, and Fang Xiu was dragged along as well. As a divine beast, Xuan Li had a strange taunting constitution. This constitution was a passive, innate attribute that would make any animal that got close to him unable to resist attacking him, even fish.

Fang Xiu, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. As a glutton, he has a fierce aura. If Fang Xiu wants, there will be no small animals around him. So after discovering this, Xuan Li wished he could keep Fang Xiu in his pocket all day long.

"Hey Dog Bro, could you please stop pulling me like that?"

With a blank expression, Xuan Li held her waist with one hand, her whole body forming a U-shape, her limbs hanging naturally at her sides.

For some reason, Lao Jun and Xuan Li both have this problem: Lao Jun always likes to grab him by the collar, and Xuan Li likes to pull him along like that.

When he grows up, I'll make them experience this sooner or later! Fang Xiu silently made up his mind.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential. Fang Xiu believed that with his unparalleled talent, he could beat Dog Brother into a yelp in less than ten years.

As for Lao Jun, that Lao Deng is slightly stronger, mainly because he is too well-rounded. Lao Jun is a typical all-rounder, not weak in any aspect among gods, and his overall strength is frightening.

With Fang Xiu as his accessory, Xuan Li successfully made the small animals shun him, and they tucked their tails between their legs and ran far away.

Xuan Li picked up Li Qingning and her group, leading them through the dense forest to a spacious valley where a huge stone archway stood.

Beyond the stone archway lay the town of Lanxi. Xuan Li took the lead and walked in first, followed by Qing Ning and the others who mustered their courage.

What came into view was a beautiful scene that was unimaginable to outsiders amidst the chaos of war: bustling with people, orderly houses, and a lively atmosphere.

"here it is----"

"This is Lanxi Town, a city protected by Laozi!"

Xuan Li's tone was calm, yet carried a faint sense of pride.

Led by Xuan Li, the group found Mr. Wang.

"This is Mr. Wang; he will help you settle in."

"Welcome everyone. There are still many vacant houses in the East Fourth District. Let's go there." Mr. Wang looked like a kind-faced old man, and his eyes were smiling as he spoke, making him very approachable.

Along the way, all sorts of people were shouting and recruiting workers, which was quite a sight for the village chief and Aunt Xiu.

They couldn't help but sigh with relief, realizing that they no longer had to worry about making a living, as there were plenty of places to hire in the town.

"Crackling sound—"

Fang Xiu was eating the scallion pancake he had picked up when he passed by Guaji; of course, he had paid for it.

As he was eating, Fang Xiu suddenly noticed that there were burning gazes staring at him from the side, or perhaps more than one.

He turned his head and saw Li Qingning and a group of children staring at the scallion pancake in his hand with drooling eyes.

"Want some?" Fang Xiu tore off a piece of scallion pancake, and the aroma spread, causing the children to nod in agreement.

"No!!"

Fang Xiu's expression changed instantly. He devoured the scallion pancake in one bite—it was all his! Absolutely all of it!

Xuan Li, who witnessed the whole process, just found it funny. After more than a year of getting to know him, Xuan Li knew that Fang Xiu was generally a very easy person to get along with. The only problem was that he was extremely possessive of his food. You could ask him for other things, but it was impossible to get any food from Fang Xiu when he was eating. No one was an exception.

Everyone except Qing Ning went to town with Mr. Wang, while Qing Ning went with Xuan Li and Fang Xiu to the largest clinic in town.

"Laojun said that you must first become the best doctor here. If you can't even do that, you can't be his disciple anymore," Xuanli relayed Laojun's words.

.

"Keep it up, junior!"

Fang Xiu encouraged his future junior sister Qing Ning and handed her a fragrant scallion pancake. Fang Xiu's food-protecting behavior was only triggered when he was eating; otherwise, he was quite normal.

"That's all for now, we're off. Good luck!"

Xuan Li waved his hand and left with Fang Xiu. This was what Lao Jun said: it was okay to bring Fang Xiu back, but it was best to keep him by your side.

"Hey Dog Bro, I told you not to pull me like that!"

Fang Xiu grumbled in dissatisfaction, suspecting that the other party had discovered him for whispering about Lao Jun behind his back last time.

"Thanks, Dog Bro!"

Qing Ning shouted from behind. Hearing Qing Ning's voice, Fang Xiu's lips curled up. That's right, he deliberately shouted that loudly!

Xuan Li and Fang Xiu were only back to pick up the people before leaving, but Lao Jun's efforts to rescue them did not stop.

With the help of the Blue Jade Plate, Xuan Li and Fang Xiu returned to Laozi's side in the blink of an eye, and their travels continued.

While rescuing people is one thing, there are still things to learn while following Laozi.

Although there were various reasons why Laozi initially accepted Fang Xiu as his disciple, Laozi's sense of morality was not just talk; it was extremely high.

Fang Xiu was at least inferior to him, and Laozi spared no effort in teaching Fang Xiu.

Lao Jun is proficient in all aspects. Although Fang Xiu theoretically had the opportunity to become a well-rounded character like Lao Jun after experiencing the Gray Fog Space, it was unnecessary.

Fang Xiu clearly knew what his strengths were; the abilities that Tao itself possessed were enough for Fang Xiu to practice.

If you try to learn more and become too greedy, you may end up being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

Instead of doing that, I should focus on my own efforts. As for other abilities, I will work on them myself. What Fang Xiu needs to do is to see things through to the end first.

Laozi also had professional insights into the gluttony of the Taotie, after all, he was a god who had seen the last Taotie.

The gluttony of the Taotie is gradual, starting with tangible objects, such as common substances, soil, trees, and even more advanced living things.

This is the first step. The second step is intangible yet substantial, referring to things that are invisible to the naked eye but do exist, such as the most common spiritual power. Although the original Taotie could directly devour spiritual power, it was not only slow but also difficult to be precise.

But in the second stage, Taotie can precisely devour the spiritual power of others. It is at this stage that Taotie can be called a ferocious beast, a ferocious beast that can devour everything.

The third step is to devour those intangible and insubstantial things, such as space and concepts.

Of course, the third step is Laozi's deduction, because even the previous Taotie only went to the second step, otherwise it wouldn't have been trapped and eaten clean.

While traveling, Laozi guided Fang Xiu's cultivation. He would return to Fang Xiu's place from time to time, and with the Blue Jade Plate, the trips were extremely convenient.

While Fang Xiu and his companions were traveling, Li Qingning, Laozi's prospective disciple, was rapidly enriching herself.
