Wasting Money to Become an Immortal

When morning came, I came out of the inn that we were staying in and headed in a certain direction.

Following behind me were my lackeys, but they had serious looks on their faces as if they were prepared for a fight.

While we were walking through the streets, there were quite a few people that recognized us.

After all, we had caused quite a commotion in this city in the past few days, so it was only natural that we would be recognized.

"Young master Lin, will you still be opening your stall today?"

"No, I’m taking care of some personal business today."

The ones that asked this were clearly hoping to get something from me, but there really was something that I had to do before anything else.

Other than getting some good items from the people of the city, the other thing that we accomplished yesterday was that we got some good information as well. Though there were a lot of things that were just rumours, there were things that were worth checking out.

That was what we were planning to do today.

So we really didn’t have the time to be doing this, or else I would have wanted to do it since it was a good way of earning points for my system.

After leaving the main part of the city, we arrived in a place that didn’t really seem like the place that we should be in. This was a place that had less than ideal security, it was a place that could even be called a slum.

The people that lived here really had no choice but to live here because they couldn’t afford anything better.

But since this was the kind of people that lived here, it was only natural that this became a place that others avoided.

That meant that this was also the perfect place to hide something if one had something to hide.

So that was why this was the place that we came to first.

Since this was a slum, it was also a place where certain unsavory characters gathered.

These were people that specifically caused trouble for others for their own gains.

So it would only make sense that they would cause trouble for us when we were a group of handsome and rich looking people. They would try to get some money out of us at the very least.

I didn’t mind giving money to these people since it would help with gaining system points, but we didn’t even get to meet them.

Mu Bao Bao’s father was a powerful person, he was the one that was in charge of this entire upper realm.

In that case, it was only natural that he would have assigned people to take care of Mu Bao Bao. It wasn’t as if he would send her out for training without sending people to watch over her.

Though when it came to actually helping her, it wasn’t as if they would help her with everything.

They were watching over her, but she was still out here to gain experience.

So unless there was something that she simply couldn’t handle, those people that had been sent to watch over her wouldn’t actually interfere.

Though in this case, it was more a matter of her prestige rather than her actually being in danger.

I could guess that they were most likely cursing me for bringing her to a place like this, but I couldn’t help it since what we were looking for was in this place.

So the only thing that they could do was keep those unsavory people away from us.

After making our way through the slums for a bit, we arrived at the place that we were aiming for. But before we even arrived at this place, we could already smell that smell that came from this place.

That was because this was a place that was known for its strong smell.

After all, this was the place where all of the sewage in the city gathered.

It was supposed to be a place where the water was cleaned and returned to the rivers around this city, but it was a place that was neglected by the people of this city.

That was why it became a place that was filled with such a strong smell.

At the same time, it was a place that seemed like it was perfect for breeding things that would attack from the dark.

But the main reason that we came here was actually because this was a place that was perfect for hiding things.

"This really does seem like a place that would have people hiding under the ground, but...do we really need to go down there?" Gao Fu Shuai couldn’t help asking when he saw the scene in front of him.

The ones that were suffering the most were the girls, but they acted like everything was fine.

I couldn’t help shaking my head when I saw them like this, but there was a reason why I had brought us here. It wasn’t as is I enjoyed walking in filth either, so I had prepared something before coming here.

It was actually one of the things that we had gotten from the people of this city.

It was a water attribute artifact that I took out.

The moment that I activated it, there was this mist that appeared around us.

"This thing is?" Everyone asked in a confused voice, but I didn’t say anything as I stepped forward towards the dirty sewer.

The moment that I went over, the mist that was around me started to clean away the filth that was there. It easily cut through the filth even though this filth had built up over a long time.

The moment that they saw this, they knew what I was planning to do with this artifact.

With a smile, I just simply said, "Don’t stray too far away from me."

All of them quickly nodded in agreement.
