Chu Yao was stunned: "What do you mean by this, Senior Yuqing?"
"Your physical cultivation is indeed at the Golden Core stage, but the purity of your spirit is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul. It's truly remarkable. What kind of opportunity did you two gain?"
Soul?
They seemed to have accidentally glimpsed the secret of "refined technology".
The two hesitated for a moment and revealed some of what had happened to them.
"In other words, you are originally Nascent Soul cultivators, but you have been restricted by the magic of mortals?"
"That's fine if you say so." Chu Yao felt hopeful. "I wonder if Senior has a solution?"
Restoring the Nascent Soul is more important than any opportunity.
"Hmm..." Taoist Yuqing stroked his beard, as if thinking, "I seem to have seen this before... Let me think..."
Yu Qingzi was immersed in his memories, and no matter how much the two asked, there was no response.
"Senior Sister, why don't we go into those three levels and find out what's going on?"
"Okay, it's not too late to ask later."
The two looked at each other, and turned into two rays of light, one white and one purple, and leaped towards the first door.
——
The sun is blazing in the sky, and the willows are swaying by the pond.
At the foot of the dangerous peak, there is an ordinary mountain village, located by the river.
There are more than a dozen small wooden houses, seven or eight acres of land, and roads connecting the fields, where chickens and dogs can hear each other.
Along the dry river bank, in the first small courtyard at the entrance of the village, a farmer and his wife were squatting on low stools, looking worried.
"The harvest is not good this year." The man is not very old, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes make him look particularly old.
"If it doesn't rain, we won't be able to arrange a marriage for Yao'er, let alone save enough for her dowry."
He held a tattered pipe in his hand, which he put to his lips and smacked, but no smoke rose.
The woman beside him also sighed: "It can't be helped, it's a famine. Tomorrow, I'll go to the matchmaker at the end of the village and ask if there are any good families..."
"Sister, do you still remember my second brother in the city?"
The man placed the pipe in his hand on the wooden table.
"Why don't you remember? The carriage he rode in was the most impressive of all the people who came before our wedding."
"He told me before that if things really got difficult, he could let Yao'er go to the city with him and learn some skills. I was thinking..."
"We only have one daughter like this, and you're really willing to let her go!" The woman glanced at her man with a hint of complaint. "How can I feel at ease if she goes to the city alone?"
"Tsk, there's nothing we can do about it! At least Yao'er won't starve if she follows Second Brother..."
The door suddenly opened and a little girl in her teens jumped in.
Her cheeks were rosy, her black hair was tied into two flat hairpins on her head, and her bright eyes were firm and calm, revealing a hint of maturity that did not belong to her age.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going."
——
"Xiao Yao, remember to greet Boss Zhou when you see him later."
"Okay, second uncle."
In the huge town, a little girl sat in the back of a carriage, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic and the houses standing side by side, her eyes in a daze.
The girl was thirteen-year-old Chu Yao.
She had thought that there would be some earth-shattering monster waiting for her behind the gate of the checkpoint, and had already prepared for a fierce battle.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped in, his eyes blurred and he turned back into his childhood appearance, and returned to Chujia Village in Fengyuan Yue Kingdom.
It took Chu Yao a while to figure out what had happened.
Does this self-examination require me to walk the same path again?
My senior sister had long since disappeared from my side. I guess she was also going through her own "self-examination".
Chu Yao touched the inner wall of the carriage with her small hands. The hawking voices of street vendors came from outside the window. Everything seemed so real.
She even smelled the aroma of steamed buns wafting from not far away, and her stomach started to growl.
The methods of Dongxu are beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators... I'm so hungry.
How come even being hungry is so real!
Chu Yao was a little confused about what this test of conscience was about.
If we simply go through our past life, wouldn't that be too simple?
She couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
Forget it, if I can’t figure it out, I’ll just stop thinking about it for now... Just think of it as retaking the course again.
Chu Yao's eyes rolled, and she pulled aside the curtain to look at her second uncle who was sitting in front of her:
"Uncle, I'm hungry. I want to eat buns."
"Hahaha, you're still a child." Second Uncle smiled and touched Chu Yao's head. "Stop the car! Let's go, Second Uncle will take you to buy some meat buns!"
Chu Yao chuckled, thinking that children have their own advantages.
——
The spacious and elegant restaurant was bustling with people.
"Three distinguished guests, please go upstairs——"
Although the welcoming voice was not loud, it sounded exceptionally clear and crisp to the ears.
The handy girl with a towel hanging on her shoulder greeted and saw off customers with a smile on her face. Although sweat was dripping down her forehead due to her busy work, there was no sign of fatigue on her face. Her eyes were lively and clear, revealing an indescribable agility.
This is fifteen-year-old Chu Yao.
Two years passed in a flash, the initial discomfort had gradually dissipated, and Chu Yao gradually integrated into the daily life of her childhood.
She even seemed to have forgotten her true appearance. The figure that was playing tricks on ghosts and flying high up in the sky seemed like a dream, so unreal.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, this is the first time I see a waitress in your shop. When did you hire this new girl?"
The visitor's voice interrupted Chu Yao's thoughts.
"Master of Rites, you're joking. This is my cousin's daughter. She's been living in the countryside, but since I thought she was smart, I brought her to the store to help with business and broaden her horizons. Yao'er, come and meet Master Liu."
