The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 63 Saint-Saint-Georgia Market

Looking at the steaming food on the table, Shao Ming was deeply moved. It all felt like a beautiful dream, so unreal.

He was terrified that this was a hallucination before he was tortured to death, that no one had come to save him, and that he had never stepped out of that suffocating secret room.

Shao Ming didn't pick up his chopsticks immediately, but looked at Liu Xingxing very seriously: "Benefactor, why are you so good to me?"

Liu Xingxing looked puzzled. Was buying him some food considered being kind to him?

This child has indeed been driven insane by being locked up.

"Since you've already called me your 'benefactor,' I certainly can't let you suffer. It's just a matter of spending a few spirit stones, so please eat with peace of mind."

Shao Ming suddenly stood up, walked to her, and knelt down with a thud. Liu Xingxing was startled by his actions and hurriedly tried to help him up.

Shaoming remained kneeling, stubbornly saying, "My benefactor bought me food and treated me so well. I will definitely repay you. I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future without hesitation!"

"It's really not that serious. It's just a few possessions. Besides, we've spent so many days together, we're practically friends now. Get up."

She's already made it so clear, so it's best not to pull off those smooth combos all the time.

Shao Ming obediently stood up and sat back down in his original seat, but still looked at her earnestly: "Would you like to eat together, my benefactor?"

"Bai Li and I have already eaten out. These are for you, please eat them."

Seeing that he was no longer doing anything unexpected, Liu Xingxing also sat down.

Shao Ming didn't ask any more questions. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating slowly. Seeing that Liu Xingxing was preparing, he started talking about other things.

"Why does my benefactor refer to the person we met earlier as Baili? Are you two very familiar with each other? I don't think he was with my benefactor."

"Hey, didn't I briefly tell you about him before? His surname is Baili, and his given name is Shu. It's not good to always call him by his full name, so let's just call him Baili."

"And what about that Mr. Zheng? What's his name?"

"As for him, things are a bit more complicated. Just call him A-Zheng. He doesn't like people calling him by his old name."

"What is your name, my benefactor? I've never known your name before."

Indeed, it wasn't very good for him to keep calling her his benefactor, but Liu Xingxing had forgotten about it.

“My name is… Liu Jun, but when I’m out and about, I’m used to people calling me Liu Xingxing, the star that shines brightly. You can just call me by my last name.”

"Liu Xingxing? What a beautiful name."

Like her, she was like a glimmer of starlight that appeared by chance in his empty world, making him want to hold on to her tightly.

"Is it beautiful...?"

Such an ordinary name was the only thing her long-lost mother left her. Although Liu Xingxing hated this cold and heartless woman, she never thought of changing her name.

Even now, she still uses this name, an ordinary name that couldn't be more common...

"You keep eating, I'm going back."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Shaoming was a little at a loss when he saw Liu Xingxing's sudden change in mood. Had he said something wrong?

Back in her room, Liu Xingxing added another layer of protection to her room to prevent anyone from disturbing her, and then sat down cross-legged to rest.

But the unease in my heart just wouldn't go away, and the area around it started to ache as well.

She always thought she was an open-minded person, but it turns out that she had never truly let go of her resentment all these years.

……

The path to immortality is long and arduous; a day is nothing at all, it passes in the blink of an eye.

Today was the day of parting, but there weren't many ceremonies. Liu Xingxing gave Baili Shu a bag of things, chatted briefly, and then the four of them went their separate ways.

Starting from this town, a few miles further west leads to the territory of Monanjiang.

Southern Xinjiang covers a vast area, encompassing both desert and forest. The forest is often toxic and breeds many poisonous creatures. As you travel westward through the toxic areas, the region becomes increasingly open and gradually turns into a desert.

The most common poisonous creatures found in desert regions are sand gu, which, although resembling a little fingertip-sized antlion (a small creature that creates tiny whirlpools in the sand and is often dug up and played with as a child), are many times larger than antlions.

Even the smallest sand gu is as big as an ostrich egg, and the largest can grow to seven or eight meters tall. However, those that can grow to that size were all local tyrants and have long been wiped out.

Even the sand gu that Xin Shaoming encountered during Lu Xihan's first appearance were only the size of brown bears, but their strength should not be underestimated.

Saint Sand City is located in the central part of the desert, very close to the residence of the Sand Gu royal family, so it's like a central city.

Liu Xingxing simply flew on her sword, without having to cross the poisonous forest. For some reason, there was a restriction in the sky over the region of Mo Nanjiang. People with low cultivation levels could not fly at all and would be directly crushed by the restriction. They could not even use flying magic tools.

Moreover, strong winds frequently blow in the desert region, usually three to five times a day, and each time they last for a long time. If you don't look at the landmarks on the ground, it's easy to get lost. So, most people who are not above the Golden Core stage will not fly there directly, but will honestly follow the paths opened up by the Sand Gu Clan.

Relying on her exceptional cultivation, Liu Xingxing carried Shao Ming directly to their destination as if nothing had happened, saving them from unnecessary detours.

After landing, it took Shaoming a while to recover from the dizziness.

"Have we arrived?"

"Yes, we've arrived."

The vast sand-built city, weathered by time, appears like a relic from millions of years ago, suddenly emerging from the sandstorm. The impact is incredibly awe-inspiring. However, the bustling crowds that come into view add a touch of life to it.

"How does it look? Does it look familiar?"

After all, it's a place he used to live in; he should still remember it.

Shao Ming looked at the people coming and going wearing the distinctive clothes of the Sand Gu Clan with a hint of confusion: "I used to never even have a decent set of clothes to wear, let alone live here."

"What right do the abandoned have to live here..."

Seeing his gloomy expression, Liu Xingxing put her hand on his shoulder and led him into the city: "It's okay, you're back now. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

From now on, you will not only be the master of this city, but also the only king in the entire southern border region.

Although Saint Sand City is a large city centered on trade, there were not many outside cultivators seen here at this time.

Firstly, this is a desert region and also a central city, so the cost of living is naturally much higher than in the surrounding areas, and even higher than in some large towns, since resources are scarce. However, some local specialties are much cheaper.

Moreover, most things here can be traded by barter, not just spirit stones. But it doesn't look very backward. It even sells some rare spiritual artifacts and magical weapons.

However, just two mud houses made of piled stones cost a mid-grade spirit stone, and that was only for one day. It was practically robbery. The food and drinks were also one or two times more expensive than usual. No wonder there were hardly any outsiders.

However, Liu Xingxing was not short of money and generously booked the house for half a month. After all, she still needed to find the thing that could command the sand gu. The novel only mentioned that Lu Xihan found it in a small shop. The item was described in detail, but the shop was not named. The Holy Sand Market was so big that it probably wouldn't be found even in half a month.

Fortunately, she still hadn't used up all the spirit stones she had earned from selling pills in Deer Mountain City. She had specifically instructed the little snake not to touch them.

Speaking of the little snake, Liu Xingxing hadn't let it out for a while, so she had a sudden inspiration and released it from the ring.

"Hey? Where have you run off to again? This house is so shabby, how can it be worthy of my status!"

Liu Xingxing was used to it chattering like a bird every time she let it out, so she was too lazy to pay attention to it.

"What happened to those two kids? Did you kill them and dump their bodies? And who is this kid? Your judgment is terrible. Why do you always bring back trash like this?"

Liu Xingxing was speechless for a moment: "Am I really that heinous in your eyes?"

The little snake, however, showed no mercy, replying, "That's right!"
