"Thank you."

Zhou Meng and Sun Ning, who were practicing nearby, also quickly withdrew from their practice.

After the three of them put the cushions into the storage bag, they looked at Bai Qiuyuan who had successfully established his foundation and were unable to recover for a long time.

"Speaking of which, Sister Ziya, where are you planning to go next?"

Bai Qiuyuan asked.

When Lin Ziya heard that Bai Qiuyuan was still willing to call her Sister Ziya, she was stunned for a moment, then explained with a smile.

"We came to the Imperial City to treat a princess here."

"This imperial city pays tribute to our sect every year, and in exchange, we must help the imperial city once a year when it needs us."

"Of course, we monks generally don't easily interfere in wars between mortals."

After listening to this, Bai Qiuyuan nodded, poured himself another cup of tea, and asked.

"Can you tell me some basic knowledge about cultivation?"

……

half an hour later

……

"Then, little brother, we say goodbye here!"

Lin Ziya smiled and bent down to touch Bai Qiuyuan's head.

He no longer had the seriousness he had when Bai Qiuyuan had just made the breakthrough.

Bai Qiuyuan had a blank expression on his face.

Because... Bai Qiuyuan really didn't know what expression he should show at this moment!

After all, I am essentially an adult in my twenties!

I'm already in my twenties and still being touched on the head. It's obviously very embarrassing, but because I practiced the meditation technique, I forced myself to be calm!

"How about I go with you to the palace? Maybe I can help."

Bai Qiuyuan asked.

After hearing this, Lin Ziya smiled.

"No need. This is a test given to us by the sect. How can I have the nerve to trouble you, little brother?"

Bai Qiuyuan nodded.

"By the way, little brother, this token is for you. If you ever come to the upper realm in the future, you can use this token to come to [Jian Ge] to find me!"

Lin Ziya smiled and handed Bai Qiuyuan a red ancient jade token engraved with the three words "Lin Ziya".

Bai Qiuyuan took the token and smiled.

"I see."

Looking at Bai Qiuyuan's smile as if bathed in spring breeze, Lin Ziya immediately stepped forward, put her arms around Bai Qiuyuan's neck, and rubbed Bai Qiuyuan's head without any hesitation!

"Ah! You're so cute, little brother!"

"With your face, I wonder how many girls will fall for you when you grow up!"

Bai Qiuyuan smiled bitterly with helplessness.

[Sister Ziya is truly unconventional...]

[After chatting with the people here for a long time, have I been assimilated? ]

[Why do I feel like I'm speaking in a rather literary way...]

……

……

After Lin Ziya and the other two left, Bai Qiuyuan sighed in his heart while fixing his messed up hair.

After chatting for an hour (half an hour), I finally got a general understanding of this world.

[The so-called upper realm seems to have many powerful beings... I should find a place to improve my cultivation, and then go to the upper realm.]

[Come to think of it, I haven't decided where to stay tonight... How about finding an inn? ]

Bai Qiuyuan thought in distress.

--evening--

——On the streets of the imperial city——

Bai Qiuyuan walked down the street with his arms full of various packaged snacks and desserts...

Although Bai Qiuyuan still had no expression on his face at this moment, the gleam in his eyes betrayed him.

[It's so delicious... The snacks in this world are surprisingly so delicious! ]

[There are no food additives in this world, and almost everything is handmade! ]

[Although it is a bit rough compared to modern times, it is really delicious! ]

【The fruit is delicious too! 】

【Am I dreaming?】

At this moment, Bai Qiuyuan had completely forgotten about finding accommodation.

Suddenly, Bai Qiuyuan accidentally caught a glimpse of a little girl about his age. When she was passing by an alley, a pair of huge hands grabbed her hands, covered her mouth, and dragged her into the dim alley.

People were coming and going around, and the girl had no one with her. Apart from Bai Qiuyuan, it seemed that no one else noticed the little girl's disappearance...

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

——At night, in the main hall of a mountain stronghold somewhere deep in the mountains——

"Boss! Today we captured the youngest daughter of the city's wealthy tycoon Wen Zhengping, Wen Ningyu!"

"As long as we get the ransom, it will probably be enough for us to live for several lifetimes!"

A dark-skinned man in his twenties, dressed in linen, smiled obscenely at a burly man sitting on a tiger-skin stone seat.

"Well done!"

The burly man laughed.

"But Boss, she is the daughter of the Wen family after all. What if that rich man spends a lot of money to hire someone to hunt us down?"

The wretched man said worriedly.

"Why are you panicking? I'm a peak seventh-grade master!"

"In the entire martial arts world, even an eighth-rank master may not be able to defeat me!"

"Besides, our stronghold is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

"We stay in the mountains, and even the old emperor in the imperial city can't do anything to us!"

The burly man said confidently, then raised the wine glass in his hand and laughed.

"Everyone drink as much as you want today!"

After hearing this, all the bandits laughed and started eating and drinking.

——A quarter of an hour later——

squeak~

The door of the mountain stronghold hall was opened from the outside.

It is winter now, and there is a cold wind outside at night.

As soon as the door opened, cold wind rushed into the hall.

Many people felt the cold wind blowing on their faces, and they were sobered up from their drunkenness.

"Eighth Rank? Eighth level of Qi training?"

Then a childish voice sounded in the hall.

Everyone looked towards the door.

I saw a boy wearing gorgeous clothes and fur coat, with long black hair and extraordinarily beautiful appearance standing at the door!

The cold wind mixed with a few snowflakes blew at Bai Qiuyuan's clothes and fur collar, and everyone was stunned when they saw it.

The boy took out a string of candied haws from his sleeve and slowly opened the paper packaging of the candied haws, paying no attention to the bewildered bandits.

"Where did this little fart come from..."

The burly man stopped talking mid-sentence, staring blankly at the door with his mouth wide open...

A simple black sword flew out from behind the boy and hovered steadily to his right hand...

The person who came was naturally Bai Qiuyuan.

Bai Qiuyuan calmly put away the candied haws packaging, took a bite of the candied haws, and then looked up at the burly man on the tiger-skin stone seat again.

The burly man shouted in horror when he saw it.

"It can fly! Immortal sword! Ninth… Ninth grade or above!"

"You are a Sword Immortal! (Sword Immortal: The name given to all sword masters above the ninth rank in the mortal world)"

Hearing this, all the bandits sat still, not daring to move.

Then Bai Qiuyuan looked at everyone with a kind face and smiled.

"Robbery!"

Everyone:? ?

"Leader, hand over your stronghold and all your men."

"From now on, this cottage...it will be called Bai!"

Everyone: ????? ??!

In an instant, the hall that was bustling just a minute ago was now so quiet that you could hear a pin drop...

"No, Boss! You've already become a Sword Immortal! Why are you still robbing a small village like ours? What's your intention?!"

[This is the first time I've heard of bandits robbing not only the village but also the people!]

[I must have drunk too much and am hallucinating...]

Bai Qiuyuan looked at everyone, smiled, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and walked into the hall.

"From now on, you guys just follow me!"

"Before that, I have to help you sober up."

boom!

Bai Qiuyuan used his true energy to close the door to the mountain stronghold's main hall...

Immediately afterwards, the bandits' wails resounded throughout the mountain!

.........

.........

--the next day--

——Inside the city——

Everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about one thing.

"Have you heard? The leaders of all the strongholds outside the city have been robbed!"

"The bandits were robbed??? No wonder I could hear screams coming from the mountains last night while I was asleep."

"What did the bandits take?"

"……Copycat."

"What?!"

"I heard the robber was a sword immortal."
