The three of them stayed there until they left the cave and returned to the surface.
They then realized that the exit was no longer the original cave entrance.
Instead, it appeared on the other side of the mountain, in a very hidden cave that most people would never discover.
"It seems that good opportunities aren't only found in famous mountains and rivers!"
Yu Qing sighed inwardly once again!
In the past, he thought that to encounter opportunities, one had to go to dangerous forests full of ferocious beasts or visit famous mountains and rivers.
Now, having gone through this ordeal, he suddenly felt that even ordinary places might hold tempting opportunities.
Thus, Lin Xue arrived in this world of cultivation, and in addition to alchemy, she learned a new skill: talisman drawing!
The next few days were spent in the tedious process of traveling again.
Lin Xue no longer relied entirely on her master's sword to rest; she would occasionally fly on her own sword for a while.
Every now and then, she would try to ride on her senior brother's flying sword and chat with him.
However, most of the time Lin Xue did the talking while Chu Xuan listened quietly.
Compared to Chu Xuan, who was quiet and reserved, even Yu Qing could chat with his little apprentice for a while.
"Qingshan City is just ahead, and this is the territory of the Wangyue Sect!"
Yu Qing's words immediately jolted Lin Xue awake.
Qingshan City, Wangyue Sect!
Isn't this the place where the original owner lived in his previous life?
Unlike other sects that choose to live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers, the Wangyue Sect does the opposite.
It stood less than a kilometer away outside Qingshan City.
I didn't expect to arrive in the territory of the Wangyue Sect so quickly. I wonder if I will run into those ingrates again.
Looking at the city walls that were gradually growing taller ahead, Lin Xue couldn't help but sigh.
After entering the city, I randomly found an inn to stay at.
"Master, what are we doing in Green Mountain City?"
Lin Xue didn't know why her master had brought the two of them to Qingshan City.
In the original owner's memory, nothing special should have happened during this period when she lived here.
There has been no news of any new secret realms appearing.
So, did Master bring them to Green Mountain City so that he would take them to visit the Wangyue Sect?
"I heard that there's going to be an auction in Qingshan City soon, and I was thinking of bringing you two here to broaden your horizons!"
Although Yu Qing himself wanted to broaden his horizons, he was too embarrassed to admit that he was there to freeload.
It's impossible to get him to spend spirit stones to buy things, but taking a look won't cost him many spirit stones.
An auction?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xue became very interested.
She immediately moved closer to Yu Qing, wanting to know more.
"Yes, it's the time of year for Qingshan City's annual auction. Since we're already in this area, we definitely have to check it out!"
Yu Qing, a homebody, rarely leaves the sect, especially after taking on Lin Xue as his little disciple. He hasn't left the sect for three years now.
This time, I naturally wanted to travel more and see more.
With his little apprentice around, his daily meals and drinks are much more comfortable than when he goes out to train.
Because he brought his eldest apprentice with him on this trip, someone else did the work for him along the way.
It was only at this moment that Yu Qing understood why his fellow Daoists of the same age liked to bring their young disciples with them when they went out.
This kind of hands-off management life is just wonderful!
Although his apprentice is sometimes a bit troublesome, well, what can you do when someone has money?
He and his eldest apprentice still have to rely on his youngest apprentice to live a life of luxury!
Chu Xuan's family background was similar to Yu Qing's; they were both ordinary people with little money.
When he took Chu Xuan in, the boy's situation was not much different from his own back then.
She had two sets of clothes in a small bundle, and she didn't have a single penny on her, making her even worse off than him.
"Master, how about we find something to auction off?"
Do you want to attend the auction?
The three of them, master and disciples, didn't have many spirit stones on them, so it would be good if they could take this opportunity to earn some!
"Junior sister, we don't seem to have anything valuable on us!" Chu Xuan had to remind his junior sister.
"Senior brother, don't forget what we looted from the Talisman Immortal. Let's pick a few things we don't need and auction them off. Maybe we can even get some useful items in return?"
Lin Xue didn't think that the three of them, master and disciples, were really as pitiful as Chu Xuan said.
"Let's figure out what to sell!"
Since his apprentice wanted to sell something, he naturally offered to give him some advice.
"Finally, Lin Xue kept only what she needed from the things she took out of the cave, and put the rest on the table!"
"Master and senior brothers, please take whatever you need. If no one needs it, I'll auction it off!"
On the table were several magical artifacts, some talismans, and a few bottles of pills whose expiration dates were unknown.
"This pill doesn't seem to have expired, and the talisman immortal's cultivation level should be in the mid-to-late Nascent Soul stage, which is perfect for my current use!"
Yu Qing took the bottle of pills, opened the stopper, and smelled it. After confirming that the pills were not expired, he put them into his pocket.
"I'm still missing a spare flying sword, so I'll choose this one!"
Chu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked out a flying sword to keep for future use in exchange with his own.
"Then I'll auction off the rest. Don't you want these talismans?"
Lin Xue glanced at the remaining items on the table, then at her master and senior brother.
"Leave two Explosion Talismans for your senior brother to protect himself, and sell the rest. We're all really too poor!"
Because of Lin Xue, they don't lack money like ordinary people, but spirit stones are really hard to come by.
Besides the monthly allowance from the sect, he would occasionally go out to take on some missions to earn spirit stones.
However, the spirit stones earned are consumed much faster than the spirit stones earned through manual labor.
So, despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator, he's actually dirt poor.
In addition, he was not born into a family of cultivators, and no one was there to help him.
If you want something, you have to work for it yourself.
The meager supplies distributed within the sect are barely enough to keep cultivators half-starved. If they want more resources, they have to earn them through their own abilities!
Moreover, as one's cultivation level increases, the requirements for the quality of elixirs also become higher.
Just buying pills alone has already cost Yu Qing most of his spirit stones.
Then, he also needs to save up some money to replace magical artifacts and acquire magical treasures.
I also need to find a way to buy some things to improve the aptitude of my two apprentices.
Over the years, he really hasn't accumulated any spirit stones.
Lin Xue had no idea how many things Yu Qing was thinking.
After handing over the items she wanted to sell to her master, she went back to her room to cultivate.
