After returning to the inn, Su Rui lost interest in practicing. He fell headfirst onto the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The next day, Suri slept until he woke up naturally. When he opened his eyes, he saw bright sunlight pouring through the window into the room, illuminating every corner. The scent of sunlight filled the air, making people feel extremely fresh and warm.
Su Rui took a deep breath, feeling the warmth and scent of the sun, and his mood brightened. He felt his body filled with strength, as if all his fatigue had been dispelled. He got up from the bed, stretched, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
When the waiter saw him, he asked him attentively if he wanted to have breakfast, but Su Rui waved his hand and refused. He planned to go out for a stroll and try some street food.
As soon as he turned the corner, Su Rui saw a wonton vendor carrying cooking utensils. Just as he was about to eat some wontons, something he hadn't eaten in a while, he suddenly smelled a vinegary smell. Su Rui couldn't help but startle. Following the smell, he saw a small food stall selling white flour noodles. In front of the stall was a wooden sign with two rather ugly characters carved on it: "Suanfen."
This was a small food stall, furnished with four rows of wooden tables and chairs. It was practically packed. Su Rui stood at the doorway and, without hesitation, pulled out a dime of mercury from his pocket. He walked over to the stall and sniffed. The acetic acid smell intensified, as if instantly luring the craving within him. He swallowed involuntarily and called out, "Shopkeeper, give me two bowls of your signature sour noodles!"
"Okay, sir, please take a seat first. The sour noodles will be served to you soon!" The shopkeeper responded and went about his business.
There were too many people in the restaurant and no empty seats, so Su Rui had to share a table with a burly young man.
As soon as he sat down, the young man at the same table suddenly asked in a low voice: "Young Master, are you from out of town? You can tell at first glance that you have an extraordinary appearance."
Su Rui didn't respond, just stared at him. Perhaps feeling a little guilty about being looked at by Su Rui, the young man leaned close to his ear and said mysteriously, "Sir, I have a treasure ship left behind by the immortal sect. For only three hundred taels of silver, you can set sail anytime, anywhere."
Su Rui still didn't respond, but thought to himself: "Selling boats in this shabby little shop? Could this guy be a liar?" But seeing that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he didn't look like a liar, but he didn't want to talk to him either.
Seeing that Su Rui was unmoved, the young man continued, "Sir, I got this treasure ship from a master. It's absolutely worth the price. Just think about it, with this treasure ship, you can sail freely on the sea and search for clues to the immortal gate. This is something that many people dream of."
Su Rui looked at the young man and found that there was a sincerity and desire in his eyes, and he didn't seem to be lying. He then saw him take out a fist-sized treasure ship model from his arms and found that it was indeed very beautiful, with exquisite carvings and decorations, and exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"Can this treasure ship really help me find the immortal gate?" Su Rui finally couldn't help asking.
"Of course!" the young man answered without hesitation. "This treasure ship is made of a magical material. Even if it encounters storms at sea, it will remain safe and sound!"
Su Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He suddenly thought of Shi Yi's Spirit Fish Shuttle. He longed to own one himself. While this seagoing vessel wasn't a Spirit Fish Shuttle, the two shared many similarities. If he could find the craftsman who created the treasure ship, could he then ask for a high-speed airship capable of amphibious operations? After a moment's thought, he pulled out a handful of gold sand, handed it to the young man, and said, "Besides the treasure ship, I also want the residence of the master who created it!"
The young man was overjoyed and said quickly, "Thank you very much, sir. I will give you the treasure ship and take you to see Boss Bao!"
As he spoke, he handed the treasure ship to Su Rui and then took the gold sand from her. Su Rui took the treasure ship and examined it carefully. He found a small button on it. He pressed it gently, and the treasure ship suddenly emitted a dazzling light, then became smaller and smaller, finally becoming a small boat the size of a finger. He looked at the boat model in surprise, wondering what it was.
"My dear, don't be afraid. This is the treasure ship's recognition ceremony. As long as you drop your blood on it, it will become your treasure and connect with your mind." The young man explained. "Really?" Su Rui asked.
"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?" the young man said. "Hurry up and drop some blood." Su Rui complained in his heart after hearing this. The young man thought he was an ordinary citizen, so he had to use such a clumsy method to sacrifice blood to refine the magic weapon.
However, Su Rui did not want the young man to know his identity as a cultivator, so he cooperated by cutting his finger and dripping a few drops of blood on the treasure ship model that had turned into a ring. As the blood seeped in, Su Rui could feel that he had left a mark on the treasure ship through a method similar to a blood sacrifice.
The young man's words about doing whatever he wanted were actually a bit exaggerated. Furthermore, this treasure ship model looked high-end, but in reality, it was just a low-level magical instrument with only one ordinary restriction.
A handful of gold sand, I don’t know whether it is expensive or cheap!
After the shopkeeper brought the sour noodles, Su Rui took a bite and found it somewhat similar to the hot and sour noodles he had before his time travel, which whetted his appetite. What was even more special was that the sour noodles were sprinkled with some dried fish and shrimp, which made them taste very fresh.
After eating two large bowls in one breath, Su Rui urged the young man to lead the way to find "Boss Bao" who refined the treasure ship!
