Chapter 1259 - 347: Suspected Old Acquaintance Arrives (Part 3)
...
In some corner of the third state, there is a city called Medicine Pill City, and now there are two strange people in this oddly named city, which makes the citizens of Medicine Pill City curious about these two peculiar individuals.
One woman appears to be quite mature, while the other is a young girl who is very calm, much like a specially trained child, possessing a composure beyond her years.
Of course, this young girl is Lu Qingyin. Having experienced the harsh realities at the pass as a child, she is aware of the cruelty of the world, which makes her far more composed than her peers.
"We were quite fortunate. On our way here, we met a friend of mine, a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, who flew us part of the way. Otherwise, we would still be on the road from the fourth state to the third state and could not have arrived in Medicine Pill City by now."
The female cultivator recalled the previous events, finding them rather heartwarming.
As a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, one can truly count their friends on one hand.
Even amid the chaos of this world, encountering a friend in the wild is nothing short of miraculous!
With the assistance of the Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, this journey was remarkably easy, the speed astounding even to her.
The female cultivator continued speaking, her gaze resting on the face of Lu Qingyin, who remained calm and silent, finally relaxing as she asked, "How do you find this city?"
Lu Qingyin immediately responded seriously, "It’s more prosperous than our capital, and the citizens seem free from worries. If I hadn’t come from the sixth state, I could never have believed such a situation could exist. It’s truly unexpected."
The female cultivator was amused by Lu Qingyin’s words, explaining as Lu Qingyin blushed slightly:
"This is merely a small city. Compared to the state capital of the third state, it’s just a small area."
"Yet, this modest place would be considered a large city in our sixth state, which shows just how backward the sixth state is, how chaotic, and how difficult life is for us."
With three consecutive uses of ’remarkable’, one can easily imagine the female cultivator’s current mood.
Having been born and raised in the sixth state, it’s natural to feel envy and resentment upon witnessing the prosperity of other states.
Lu Qingyin was astounded. This was the first city she had encountered since leaving the sixth state. She initially considered it a very affluent city, yet within the context of the third state, it’s still a small city?!
What kind of fearsome presence is the so-called state capital?
Lu Qingyin couldn’t even begin to imagine, as these things entirely exceeded the limits of her imagination; it’s a vision she simply can’t conceive right now!
The female cultivator didn’t say much more, finally saying, "Let’s go. I’ll take you to seek out the elders of Medicine Master Valley. You shouldn’t have any issues!"
Lu Qingyin: "Mm!"
Now, she had nothing to fear. Her conversation with the female cultivator was conducted entirely in the language of the third state, with a very standard official accent, and she had already walked one path in Medicine Pill City, noticing that she had no issues understanding and hearing others.
Since she could understand what others were saying, she wouldn’t be in the dark in this place!
Guided by the female cultivator, Lu Qingyin arrived at a shop in Medicine Master Valley, which Yuchi had visited before, and sat down, waiting as the female cultivator took the initiative to find the shopkeeper to communicate.
"Hello, I would like to seek Sun Miaoxing, the elder. I was saved by Elder Sun Miaoxing before, and there’s something I wish to discuss with him,"
After speaking, the female cultivator astutely presented a token.
When the token was handed to the shopkeeper, he looked down and broke into a cold sweat.
"Free repair service once for spending over one million."
Oh wow, is this an old customer?
However, having this token means the female cultivator must have had her Divine Soul replaced.
"Certainly, so would you like to adjust or replace your Divine Soul?"
The shopkeeper returned the token to the female cultivator.
What does it mean to adjust a Divine Soul?
For example, a cultivator who has undergone Divine Soul treatment becomes aware of it. If one day they begin to regret past decisions, like missing a beloved, they can choose to replace their Divine Soul with a more compatible "peace of mind style."
Thus, past actions wouldn’t be so painful, as memories in different character Divine Souls result in entirely different attitudes.
The female cultivator shook her head, saying, "I like my current Divine Soul, so I don’t need a replacement for now. I am seeking Elder Sun Miaoxing’s assistance, and of course, I am willing to use the token for an exchange of help."
