Chapter 358 - 2: The Legacy of an Old Friend
Emerging from his cage, Gu Wen seemed like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, curiously peeking around and entering every shop that caught his eye.
Pills, Spirit Fruits, Magic Treasures, Vestment robes, Arrays, secret manuals, and more—he could barely take them all in.
Standing in front of a stall, Gu Wen spotted a string of "candied hawthorns" and curiously asked,
"Excuse me, how much are these candied hawthorns for sale?"
"What ’excuse me’? Where are you from, bumpkin? At least address me as True Man or Fellow Daoist. These aren’t candied hawthorns; they are Five Elements Spiritual Fruits."
The Foundation Establishment female cultivator looked disdainfully at Gu Wen, unable to discern his cultivation level due to her limited perception.
Of course, she wouldn’t recklessly probe someone else’s cultivation—it’d be akin to flipping through someone’s wallet to count how many copper coins they had.
"Look at you, can’t even afford a Vestment robe. How about I offer you some ways to make a living? I see your appearance is decent, though not handsome, your disposition has the aura of an ascetic monk, which quite a few older women find attractive."
Hearing this, Gu Wen was not angry; instead, he found it amusing.
Laughing, he said, "I was born a farmer. My appearance isn’t ugly but also not outstanding. You’d want to recommend me into the flesh trade?"
