Chapter 1830 - 1810: Soul Bead
"Hmm, want to come with me somewhere?" Mo glanced at the two laughing women nearby and smiled slightly, "I need to buy some things. Your sister-in-law’s foundation was damaged after giving birth; cultivation must be quite difficult for her, right?"
Qhianqhian was suddenly shocked as she looked at Qin Nuan. She had never known about this, and Qin Nuan had never mentioned it.
"I’ll let them know." Qhianqhian nodded immediately, went back to the table to explain she was going out, and then calmly went back to change clothes before going out with Mo.
Watching the two of them leave, He Wenyu looked puzzled, "Where are they going? Why change clothes?"
"Can’t people go on dates anymore?" Qin Nuan sipped her tea and slowly said to He Wenyu, "By the way, aren’t you going to... farm in a few days?"
"Yeah, I feel like I came to this academy just to be a farmer." He Wenyu grumbled discontentedly.
"Can you get some seeds for me? I have nothing to do either; trying out being a countryside farmer might actually be enjoyable."
Qin Nuan laughed and pointed to a piece of marked land on one side, "Plant flowers then, they can’t bloom now. Planting vegetables feels like it doesn’t suit the elegant courtyard vibe. I truly don’t know what to plant."
"Alright, I’ll check back later and get some nice ones." He Wenyu generously agreed.
Stepping out, Qhianqhian noticed the direction Mo was heading and nervously asked, "Isn’t this direction...?"
"Yeah, heading that way for a round, and to see if those two types of medicine are available." After all, he hadn’t expected to break through so early; he was always preparing for Qhianqhian’s breakthrough first. Who knew he’d breakthrough out of nowhere,
In less than a year, there’s a lot he needs to prepare.
Not just for Lin Nianan, but also for Qhianqhian. Qhianqhian is unlike others; her cultivation speed is the fastest he had ever seen.
Yet, he has never seen how Qhianqhian cultivates, so he can only say her talent is quite extraordinary.
Reaching the sparsely populated entrance, Mo calmly took out a red token, and the crowd respectfully made way, allowing him into a place Qhianqhian had often wanted to explore.
The truly free space of Freedom Town, where even slaughtering is free.
Mo casually handed the token to Qhianqhian, "Keep it for protection, but... don’t just wander in here on your own."
Qhianqhian looked at the dark red metal token in her hand, with a conspicuous ’Poison’ character etched on it.
"What will you do without it?" Qhianqhian quickly hid the token, her heart pounding.
Mo remained indifferent, then bought two black cloaks from a nearby shop, covering himself and Qhianqhian, then whispered, "I’ve already graduated, does it matter? Even if I’m not allowed, I could fight my way in."
This token is just a recognition for those with capabilities.
And only ten of these identity plates exist in the entire Freedom Town.
Qhianqhian swallowed and nodded, indeed, once graduated, Mo shouldn’t stay in such a place anymore, right?
From all indications, both Mo and Yan’s identities are not simple.
At least... in the books she read at the academy, there’s no family with the surname Sun Moon.
Yet, signs from Yan and Mo make it clear that this family not only exists but is quite large and influential.
Their paths were laid out from a young age, giving such a feeling.
Like the usual sons and daughters of officials or wealthy families, with paths paved early on, inheriting the family business in the future.
"Is it pretty?" Mo casually held a water-blue beaded necklace and asked.
Qhianqhian glanced and was drawn to the beads, eagerly nodding, "The color is beautiful."
Just as she was about to ask the price, Mo had already tossed a box to the vendor, "I’ll take this."
"Kid, do you know what this..." the vendor opened the box disdainfully but fell silent after opening it, "If you like it, feel free to take more if you find anything else you like!"
"No need." Mo nonchalantly put the beaded necklace on Qhianqhian’s wrist; her fair wrist and the water-blue beads complemented each other, and Qhianqhian instantly felt the flow of spiritual power in her body speed up slightly.
"A small gain, unexpectedly finding this here." Mo smiled, calmly holding Qhianqhian’s wrist, studying the bead’s color, and slowly nodded, "How does it feel?"
"The spiritual power seems to flow faster?" Qhianqhian asked surprise.
"Yeah, it looks like a seed of the Ice Snow Lotus but is actually a soul bead from a Snow Beast."
Snow Beast... Qhianqhian shuddered, will Xiao Xue from He Wenyu’s side bite her?
"Soul beads come from spiritual beasts with spiritual sense, and in a dying state, they preserve all their soul and spiritual power through sacrifice. Usually, it’s left for a mate," Mo explained, remaining calm, "so you can rest assured it shouldn’t be discovered by that little creature."
"As for the Ice Snow Lotus necklace, there’s an added benefit, it prevents the feeling of heat."
"Doesn’t seem like I felt hot before?" Qhianqhian remarked.
If hot, just take a bath...
Anyway, bathing and drying is a matter of minutes for her.
Mo was speechless, unsure of what to say.
"Uh, I really like it, thank you." Qhianqhian looked at the beaded bracelet on her wrist and smiled.
Mo helplessly smiled, "Didn’t you say, between us, there’s no need for thanks?"
"...Then what should I say, just say I like it? And... keep it up? Feels shameless, like I’m asking for more stuff from you." Qhianqhian pursed her lips, looking around, "Is there something you like? I’ll buy it for you."
"Things here can’t be bought." Mo remained calm, "Here, everything is exchanged, if the seller doesn’t like it, you can’t buy it."
"Of course, elixirs are hard currency here." Mo laughed, "So, actually you have some savings. The question is, are you willing to spend it?"
Qhianqhian: "...Anything else?"
Though reluctant about elixirs, she has tasty treats, right?
If not, there’s always the limited edition snacks from the Forget Worries Tea House, which people line up for every day; they should be acceptable as currency, right?
Mo didn’t know either, only shrugged his shoulders.
After all... such matters are genuinely hard to predict.
