C54 Thief
1Chap 54, thieves.
Sunflower Water Town.
The sun was setting in the west, and yellow sand filled the sky. Lin Xuan had never thought that this place, which only existed in his mind, would finally reveal a trace of its outline!
Lin Xuan set off from Sky Star City. During this period of time, he used half a day's time to cast the Moon Shadow Step before rushing to Sunflower Water Town under the cover of the night!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the town was somewhat dilapidated and desolate. It did not have the bustling scene of a stronghold as Lin Xuan had imagined!
"Imagination is far from reality. I have watched too many movies in my previous life!"
Lin Xuan chuckled and retracted his thoughts. He directly used the Moon Shadow Step and entered the town!
This small town was not a military fortress. It was only used to connect the trade route to the north and south, providing a place to rest.
Don't look at how Lin Xuan arrived here in half a day. That was because he had the Moon Shadow Step and was also a cultivator!
It should be known that many of the people rushing here were mortals with greater strength. Walking two hundred miles per day was already the limit, because there were no roads in this world...
This place was 200 miles away from Sky Star City!
"This is only a small town under the jurisdiction of Sky Star City, and it already took such a long journey. I wonder how big this Empire is..."
Entering the small town unimpeded, along the way, other than some peddlers and walking soldiers, Lin Xuan basically did not see any cultivators.
Fortunately, there were many mortals passing through this place, and there were many inns. Although they were a bit crude, it was still better than sleeping on the streets!
Lin Xuan directly found the most 'luxurious' inn in Sunflower Water Town. Why was it said to be luxurious? It was because this inn was a three-story wooden building...
As for the rest, they were either on the first or the second floor. One look and one could tell that they were very tall!
Before Lin Xuan could enter, he saw a middle-aged man with a mustache coming out of the inn. He smiled and said, "Young master, please come in!"
Although Lin Xuan didn't wear a very stylish noble robe, he was from the Lin family, so even if he couldn't do it, he was still a noble. Those clothes were of superior quality. In the eyes of these mortals, he was naturally the son of a noble!
"I wonder if the son of a noble is going to be the best or stay in the shop?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan suddenly felt like he was in a martial arts novel. He smiled with emotion and said, "Prepare a good guest room and add some food and wine. Young master, I don't lack money!"
Lin Xuan lacked Lin Xuans, but he did not lack gold and silver in the mortal world!
"Alright, I think Young Master must be thirsty after traveling all the way here. I have ordered the waiter in the shop to brew a pot of good tea for you. Please have a seat, Young Master!"
"Yes!" Lin Xuan nodded, and then he followed the middle-aged manager to a private seat on the second floor with interest as he spoke calmly.
"Young Master, please wait a moment!"
The middle-aged manager instantly responded when he heard this. After making arrangements for Lin Xuan, he directly went to greet the others!
Although this town didn't seem very big, there were quite a number of people passing by. At this moment, the night was about to fall, and the people passing by were all looking for a place to settle down!
In such a dangerous and complicated world, it was not a big deal to encounter bandits. The merchants could still deal with them, but they were afraid that if a Demon Beast appeared in the deep mountains and forests, it would take many people's lives.
Therefore, if it was not necessary, no one would be willing to travel at night.
Lin Xuan didn't have to wait for too long before a table of good food and wine was served. They were all steaming hot.
Ordinary people naturally wouldn't dare to have designs on the Demon Beast, so Lin Xuan didn't eat the Demon Beast's meat. These were all livestock raised by ordinary people for meat!
"This chef's abilities are still alright, but the wine is too strong!"
In his previous life, he drank too much beer without any measurement. Compared to the strong alcohol in this world, he was indeed a little unaccustomed to it.
However, the people from the merchant groups that passed by him ate heartily, and cups of beer crossed each other.
Lin Xuan seemed to have gotten to know this world again. In the past, he only lived in the Lin family. Almost all the Cultivators there were Cultivators. He did not expect that these ordinary people were also very interesting.
He was not in a hurry to cultivate. Today was just the first time he had arrived at Sunflower Water Town. He planned to stay in the inn for the night. After he had figured out the situation tomorrow, he would find another hidden place to cultivate in seclusion!
As for the mission, he selectively ignored it!
The night fell very quickly. An oil lamp was lit in the inn. This was a world without an electric lamp. Unlike cultivators who could ignore the darkness, these mortals had to face the darkness!
However, there was something strange about this town. Although it was remote, the moonlight above was bright and clear. Lin Xuan did not return to the room he had arranged. Instead, he quietly sat on the roof and looked at the bright moon above his head. An ancient poem suddenly appeared in his mind.
"When will the bright moon appear? Ask the blue sky about the wine. I wonder what year it will be in the palace in the sky!"
"Although this bright moon is the bright moon, it is no longer the same bright moon as before!"
Lin Xuan suddenly felt a little sad. This was the first time he felt so lonely. In the whole world, only he knew that he did not belong here!
After a long silence, Lin Xuan quietly returned to his room. He laid on the wooden bed, but he could not sleep.
As a cultivator, Lin Xuan had reached the stage where he did not eat or sleep. After all, the energy he needed could be directly absorbed from the spiritual Qi, and it was even purer!
The reason why he could still eat was because of his habit and instinct as a human being. When those things entered his stomach, they would be directly refined by the cultivation technique, leaving nothing behind!
To Lin Xuan, these mortal food were more like impurities that would turn into turbid air and be discharged from his pores!
As for the metabolism system in his previous life, it was no longer suitable for cultivators!
To put it in simpler terms, Lin Xuan no longer had to pee or poop...
However, just as Lin Xuan was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, his spiritual sense suddenly enlarged and enveloped the entire room.
Outside the door, a few blurry figures quietly crept over!
Immediately after, something like a mesmerizing fragrance was blown into Lin Xuan's room!
"Did I run into a black shop?"
Lin Xuan suddenly smiled, but he closed his eyes and laid on the bed. He did not move and pretended to be knocked out by the incense stick!
After waiting for a few minutes, he heard the door to the room being pushed open. Someone said in a low voice, "Big brother, this kid is extremely generous. One look and you can tell he's a fat sheep. As long as we kill him, we won't have to worry about food and drinks for a year!"
"Shh, lower your voice. We only want money and not harm others. Don't wake him up!"
"Hmph, big brother, don't worry. This Rosemary is a good thing, even if there are gongs and drums outside, I guarantee that he will sleep soundly, he won't be able to wake up at all. If you want me to say it, I will kill him to prevent future troubles! "
Third brother, your killing intent is too heavy. Big brother is right. It's fine as long as we ask for money. There's no need to harm others' lives! "
"Let's search his body and leave!"
