From the map on the phone, we can see that Jianyang City is 70,000 kilometers away from Wuling City, which makes Li Mu feel a little overwhelmed.
Now he has no cultivation at all, and the worst thing is that even his physical body is very weak. These 70,000 kilometers are simply an insurmountable chasm for him.
He could have taken public transportation, but he only had a little over 100 yuan on him, 100 of which was given to him by others, like giving alms to a beggar. He had not originally intended to use the money, but at this point finding a way to go back as soon as possible was much more important than saving face.
But more than 100 yuan was not enough. He checked online on his mobile phone and found that the fare from Jianyang City to Wuling City was only 30,000 yuan. If he took a plane or other means of transportation, it would cost at least 50,000 yuan.
Now he still has to find a way to make money, but in this world his identity is the lowest fifth-class citizen, and the only source of money is begging. Does he really have to beg?
Shaking his head, Li Mu smiled bitterly and decided to take things one step at a time. He would go buy some clothes first and then make other plans. After all, his current clothes looked too ostentatious and others would mistake him for a beggar just by looking at the way he was dressed.
Following the navigation, Li Mu came to a grocery market, where there were all kinds of things, and they were very cheap and affordable.
Walking to a small street vendor selling clothes, he could tell at first glance that the clothes were made of very poor fabrics and were very low-end. But there was no other way. Li Mu was short of money now, so he could only make do with what he had.
Just as he was about to ask for the price, the vendor said to him impatiently: "You stinky beggar, get out of here and don't delay my business."
"What? Can't I buy clothes?" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"You? Why are you, a fifth-class citizen, buying these clothes from me? What? Don't you want to be a beggar anymore? Haha~" the vendor teased.
In this world, long gowns are worn by fifth-class citizens, and it is also the quickest way to identify fifth-class citizens. Therefore, as long as you wear a long gown, it means that you are showing your identity as a fifth-class citizen in front of everyone, making it easier to beg. If you change into ordinary clothes, others will naturally not be able to distinguish you so easily and will just treat you as an ordinary fifth-class citizen.
But this disguise is easy to identify because the physical condition of fifth-class citizens is so poor that it can be recognized at a glance.
Li Mu didn't care about the vendor's teasing and started choosing clothes directly.
Soon, Li Mu finished his selection and asked the boss: "This is it, how much is it?"
"10,000 yuan." The vendor said indifferently.
"How can it be so expensive?" Li Mu frowned. It was obvious that the vendor in front of him was trying to rip him off.
"Sorry, that's why my prices are so high. It's your choice whether you want to buy it or not!" the vendor sneered.
"Kid, don't think that I am deliberately making things difficult for you. You should know that in principle, our country prohibits the sale of clothing other than robes to fifth-class citizens. If I sell it to you, I will be taking a big risk." The vendor whispered.
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask other people and see who dares to sell you clothes."
Hearing the vendor say this, Li Mu became a little suspicious. Is there such a rule?
Seeing that the vendor didn't seem to be lying, Li Mu called Geng Xian to verify. The answer he got was that there was indeed such a rule, and Geng Xian also warned Li Mu that it would be best not to think about taking off his gown, otherwise he would suffer in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu smiled bitterly. He didn't have the financial ability to take off his gown even if he wanted to!
Unwilling to give up, Li Mu asked a few more clothing vendors, but as soon as they heard his idea, they chased him away on the spot.
Helplessly, Li Mu had to leave the market in disappointment. There was no other way. Now he was weak and had no money. He had no confidence at all. If he overestimated his own abilities and tried to "reason" with others, he would be the only one who would be embarrassed.
It’s too difficult. This world is simply hell mode for the super bosses of the Qiongzu Universe!
"I don't know how Kunpeng and the others are doing now?" Li Mu thought of Kunpeng and the others at this time, and he thought that they were probably not much better than himself.
Before he knew it, he came to a roadside noodle stall. Since he was hungry anyway, he decided to have a simple meal before making further plans.
"Boss, how much is your cheapest noodles?" Li Mu asked.
"A small bowl of vegetarian noodles is 4 yuan, and a large bowl is 5 yuan. However, you can't use my tableware, otherwise it will affect my business. You can only take it away. I feel sorry for you, so I can waive the takeaway fee for you." The boss said lightly.
Li Mu took a closer look and found that the portion in the large bowl was obviously much larger than that in the small bowl, and was relatively more affordable. After comprehensive consideration, he decided to order a large bowl of vegetarian noodles.
"I wonder what Kunpeng's expression would be if he knew that I used 5 Chaos Stones to eat a bowl of ordinary plain noodles." Li Mu thought to himself. After all, Kunpeng had accumulated more than 3,000 Chaos Stones for more than 7 million years.
…
At this time, also in a luxurious restaurant in Jianyang City, two men in long robes looked melancholy in front of a table of delicious food.
It is Kunpeng and the first of the Nine Evils.
"Old Kun, don't worry, we will find brother Li Mu." Sha Yi comforted.
"Hmph, how can you guess what my palace master is like? He is naturally living a better life than us! Instead of worrying about the palace master, you should think about our current situation!" Kunpeng said unhappily.
As the second cultivator to attain enlightenment in Lingxiao Universe, he understood Li Mu's methods deeply. That was a man who wanted to challenge the entire Qiongzu Universe. In just a few years, he had more than 300,000 enlightened cultivators under his command. His own cultivation had also risen from the Void Immortal Ancestor to the Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor. How could he be trapped by this world?
"The Palace Master should come to rescue me soon. Yes, I am a capable general under the Palace Master. He will not ignore me." Kunpeng said secretly.
Thinking of this, his mood improved a lot. He grabbed a roasted suckling pig and started to eat it.
Infected by Kunpeng's emotions, Shayi was also relaxed and said with a smile: "Haha, Old Kun, you are still open-minded. I am not as good as you! Well, let's finish eating quickly and bring some food back to the other brothers. They are still hungry."
After saying that, he joined the group eating and drinking.
"Waiter, make us four more servings according to this standard so we can take them away." Sha Yi shouted to the waiter while eating, and handed him a large bag of Chaos Stone.
"Okay." The waiter took the Chaos Stone with a smile.
In fact, he was extremely skeptical about the financial strength of Kunpeng and the other man at the beginning. After all, they looked like beggars. But when they took out a bag of Chaos Stones, he immediately welcomed them into the store with a smile.
Although both of them used small change, the waiter didn't think much about it. After all, beggars would naturally get mostly small change.
The only thing that made him sigh was that these beggars were so rich that a meal cost several thousand dollars. It seemed that he had to go back and remind his old mother not to give alms to beggars out of love in the future, because your love is their capital for luxury!
