Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

The moment Yao Han set her sights on him, Xiao Yuan sprang out of the basin like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"You don't need to eat every day, huh?" Yao Han was full of frustration and had nowhere to vent it, so he could only take it out on his spirit pet.

Xiao Yuan shrank back into the basin, its round snake eyes darting around as if searching for a place to run, afraid that its master would get so hungry that he would stew it.

"What are you thinking about? Go, get me some food on the boat."

Xiao Yuan rolled her eyes at him and slipped out through the crack in the door.

Yao Han circulated the energy within his body and regained the strength to stand up, but his stomach was still empty, a feeling that was extremely uncomfortable.

He scanned the area outside the cabin with his divine sense and discovered that the ship had temporarily stopped near a small town.

It appears that this town is considerably larger than Jiangjia Village.

Are we going to stop the ship for a rest?

While he was scouting, Xiao Yuan returned, carrying a large burlap sack filled with yellow steamed buns.

Yao Han's stomach was growling loudly, and he didn't care about his eating manners, so he stuffed food into his mouth like crazy:

"It's a bit dry... Xiaoyuan, go get me some more water."

Xiao Yuan, standing to the side, bared his teeth and stared wide-eyed at his snakes, wishing he had learned to speak human language: "Is this how you order your spirit beasts around? How about I cook you a four-dish meal and a soup?"

Ultimately, you can't fight city hall. Xiao Yuan flicked his tongue and ran out to fetch another water bag.

After a satisfying meal, Yao Han burped, then got up and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go out and take a look."

Xiao Yuan reluctantly slipped into his sleeve.

Yao Han smiled:

"Don't worry, the sky outside looks overcast, it shouldn't be as hot as it was a few days ago."

Hmm... this spirit beast bracelet is a big deal! Let's hope Xiao Yuan doesn't die of heat before we even reach Ziqiu.

He is still very curious about how the Jade Serpent, which lives in the North, ended up in the Eastern Ridge.

Stepping out of the house and through a long corridor, Yao Han arrived on the deck, where the ship's captain was standing by the ladder, giving instructions to the sailors.

Yao Han wasn't in a hurry. He waited until they finished talking before walking closer and bowing to the leader.

"Brother Ning, where are we?"

The leader was a burly man with a full beard, but despite his fierce appearance, he spoke and acted like a refined gentleman. Upon seeing Yao Han approach, he returned the greeting with clasped hands.

"So it's Brother Yao. This is 'Yuanshuang Town,' an affiliated market town of the Immortal Sect Nianxuan Gate. The ship's supplies are running low, so we need to stop here temporarily to rest and replenish our supplies before setting off again."

Nianxuanmen!

Subsidiary Market!

Yao Han's eyes lit up; they had arrived at the territory of the Nianxuan Sect.

If I can buy what I want here, I might not need to make a special trip to Ziqiu City.

However, although he was pleasantly surprised, he didn't show it on his face: "I see. How many days will we be staying?"

"Three days and three nights. If Brother Yao gets tired of staying on the ship, he might as well take a stroll around this town and return to the ship in three days."

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer." Yao Han clasped his hands in a fist salute again and brushed past the group.

After he had gone some distance, a shifty-eyed sailor approached the Ning-surnamed leader:

"Brother, why are you being so polite with him! I saw it myself, this kid didn't even blink when he took out his money, he's obviously got plenty of cash on hand! And he's all alone, brother, I think we should just go all the way—"

The sailor stretched out his hand and crossed it across his neck—

Then Brother Ning slapped him on the head.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me, brother!"

Brother Ning looked at him with a disappointed expression:

"I got you out of jail not so you could embarrass yourself. The Ning family is a prominent family in Fancheng, not bandits. We wouldn't do such a disgraceful thing! Can you even do this job? If you can't, get the hell out of here!"

"Ouch, ouch, big brother, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me, I know I was wrong—"

"And can't you use your brain?" Brother Ning glanced around and lowered his voice:

"Use your stupid brain to think this through. Someone so young, carrying such a large sum of money, how could he possibly be without anyone following him? They're probably all hiding in the shadows! He's probably some young master from a wealthy and powerful family in Ziqiu City, on a trip. Believe it or not, if you dare to make a move, several peerless masters will jump out of this ship. At that point, it won't just be a matter of going to jail; you won't even be able to save your own life!"

After listening to Brother Ning's analysis, the sailor felt a chill run down his spine, and a cold air shot up his back. He was so frightened that he quickly covered his neck: "Is...is it really that scary...?"

"Hmph, there are many treacherous things in this world, so you can never be too careful. Anyway, no matter what this kid surnamed Yao does, since he paid for the boat, we'll make sure he gets to his destination safely. Even if something happens after that, it's none of our business."

"Yes, yes, I'll do whatever you say, brother!"

……

Unbeknownst to the two, their entire conversation had been overheard by Yao Han.

Even though he is only at the third level of Qi Refining, his senses are still incredibly sharp, far surpassing those of ordinary people. Even if he has walked a long way, he can clearly hear the slightest movement with his divine sense.

Since Chief Ning was so sensible, there was no need for him to continue eavesdropping. With a thought, he withdrew the divine sense that had been probing out.

Yao Han wasn't afraid that these mortals would dare to have any wicked thoughts about him, but if these crew members really intended to rob him, he wouldn't mind using magic to teach them a lesson.

A fleeting glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, then vanished just as quickly.

He stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to the small town in front of him.

This Yuanshuang Town is quite interesting. All the houses in the town are built neatly and squarely, and the doors, walls and courtyards are all painted with the same white paint, like white cylinders magnified countless times, arranged neatly in the mountains.

From a distance, this snow-white town would stand out starkly against the backdrop of lush green mountains and forests, a "dot of white amidst a sea of ​​green."

Perhaps this is where the town got its name?

Yao Han felt that his guess was not wrong.

He quickly entered the busiest street in the town, and his ears were immediately filled with noise.

Along both sides of the long street, various shops opened their doors, and the sounds of hawking their wares filled the air, creating a stark contrast with the quiet and peaceful Jiangjia Village.

Yao Han easily blended into the townspeople strolling through the streets, brushing past countless ordinary people. No one noticed that this young man in plain clothes was actually a cultivator with magical powers.

The town wasn't big; in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yao Han had already circled the market, and a question arose in his eyes.

It seems that these are all shops run by ordinary people, and none of them sell anything that cultivators need.

Wasn't this supposed to be the market town of the Nianxuan Sect? How come we can't find a single cultivator here?

Yao Han stood still and pondered for a moment, realizing that he must have used the wrong method.

Instead of blindly circling around the town, he went to the town entrance, pretended to rest, and silently observed the passersby.

In no time, he found his target.
