Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

As the carriage sped away, it kicked up a cloud of dust.

Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu sat in the carriage, still enjoying the scenery along the way.

"Look, there are merchants coming and going everywhere here."

"They have transported the things they bought here to various places in our world."

Xu Qingqiu pointed to the convoy here and said with a smile.

"Oh, so you're saying that a lot of the things we get elsewhere actually originate from here?"

Upon hearing what she said, Zhuge Lan couldn't help but respond.

"Yes, many people from outside come here, but they choose to leave here."

Xu Qingqiu nodded, and then continued, "And if you want to leave, you need to leave from here."

"So, if we want to get to the Boundary Sea Battlefield, we need to start from here?"

Ning Qi asked with a smile.

"Yes."

Xu Qingqiu nodded, a look of anticipation on her face: "We're sure to gain something from this trip."

"I haven't been out for a long time."

"Miss Xu, didn't you just get back? Why did it take you so long?"

"If I remember correctly, it's been about a month."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling couldn't help but ask.

"A month is not a short time."

Xu Qingqiu retorted.

"What you say is not wrong."

Yao Ling stopped arguing with her and instead focused her attention on what was ahead.

"Gentlemen, we'll be there soon."

At this point, the coachman asked them, "Do you want to go in by yourselves, or shall I lead you in?"

"Oh? Is there any explanation for that?"

When Ning Qi heard him ask that question, he knew there must be some reason behind it.

"Yes, there are some."

"It would be more convenient if someone could take you in."

"Whether you're staying at a hotel, attending an auction, or doing anything else."

“It will be very convenient, no one will check you, but if you just go in by yourself like this…”

"That's not necessarily true. This place isn't under the jurisdiction of people from your realm."

"Their guards here won't give you any face."

The coachman nodded and then explained to the two men.

“I know, I’ve been here several times before.”

Xu Qingqiu nodded, then said with a smile, "No need for you to trouble yourself."

"Alright, since the young lady has come, I won't waste any more words."

"However, both of you, the travel permits here and your identity tokens have an expiration date."

The coachman clearly hadn't expected Xu Qingqiu to say that, but he still reminded them reluctantly.

"Yes, thanks for reminding me."

Xu Qingqiu nodded and then continued, "However, mine won't expire."

"Oh? Miss, how come yours hasn't expired?"

The coachman, however, became interested and asked curiously.

"mine?"

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Xu Qingqiu smiled, then took out her jade pendant.

The coachman glanced at him, then widened his eyes and quickly said, "So you are a direct disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. My apologies for my rudeness."

"Now you can rest assured."

Xu Qingqiu smiled and then asked.

"Don't worry, you two, we've arrived. Have a safe journey."

The coachman got off the carriage, pointed to the road ahead, and spoke to the two men.

Thank you.

Ning Qi thanked him and then got off the bus with him.

After they got off the carriage, they went straight to the city gate.

"They want to take us in, is it very expensive?"

Ning Qi asked curiously.

"Yes, it's more expensive than the travel expenses."

Xu Qingqiu nodded: "If I don't reveal my identity, I might get ripped off."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Hearing her say that, Ning Qi couldn't help but sigh: "It seems there are crises everywhere."

"Of course, otherwise why would I reveal my identity? We don't reveal it easily when we come out."

Xu Qingqiu pointed to the road ahead and said to Ning Qi, "Alright, let's go in."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi nodded, and then followed them as they continued walking inside.

They arrived at the city gate, where the guards stopped them.

"Do you two have identification tokens?"

One of the leaders came over, looked at the two, and asked.

"Hey."

Xu Qingqiu did not hesitate and handed his token to the commander directly.

"So you are disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Please, both of you."

The commander knew Xu Qingqiu's identity with just one glance.

This is a token that only direct disciples possess, so he has no right to stop it.

Thank you.

After Xu Qingqiu thanked him, she led Ning Qi further inside.

"Tsk tsk, having status really makes a difference."

Ning Qi clicked his tongue and said with a smile.

"Of course, we gave our approval for them to be here."

“They don’t care about our ordinary disciples, but we are all their personal disciples. If we are still so easily manipulated by them, where is our authority?”

Xu Qingqiu said smugly.

The two of them had already arrived in the city.

There are rows of loft buildings everywhere, and many people are doing business on both sides of the street.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares and haggling filled the air.

Looking at the lively scene, Ning Qi couldn't help but think of his True Martial Spirit Realm.

How wonderful it would be if the True Martial Spirit Realm could have such a day someday.

"Master, one day, our True Martial Spirit Realm will surpass theirs!"

Yao Ling saw through his thoughts and then spoke.

"First, we need to be strong enough."

Ning Qi smiled and looked ahead: "However, this is not a difficult task."

"Yes, we can definitely do it!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling echoed his words.

"Let's find an inn first."

Xu Qingqiu looked at the road ahead and said to the two of them, "I think this place is pretty good. I came here once with my master before."

"There is also a Sumeru space here, but from the Sumeru courtyard here, you can see the scene on the street."

"Oh? A Sumeru space that can contact the outside world at any time? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing!"

Hearing her say that, Ning Qi immediately became interested: "Then let's go to this place."

"Okay, let's go!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded and then began to lead the way, quickly bringing the two to the entrance of the inn.

"Gentlemen, would you like to stay at an inn?"

When the waiter saw someone arrive, he quickly came over to greet them.

"Is the Sumeru Courtyard still there?"

After Xu Qingqiu followed, he asked with a smile.

"Yes, there are still some available, but once a batch of people arrives at the end of the month to go to the Boundary Sea Battlefield, it will be fully booked."

The waiter nodded repeatedly, then added, "If you two are going, you should consider renting this place long-term."

"After all, if you participate, you'll have to wait here for at least three days."

"Oh? Wouldn't it be very expensive to rent now?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqiu frowned.

"That's still much better than having nowhere to live, isn't it?"

The waiter smiled and said.

"How many spirit stones are needed per month?"

Ning Qi didn't care and asked directly.

"A total of three thousand spirit essences are needed in one month."

The waiter held out his hand and said to Ning Qi.

"Oh? That's too expensive."

Xu Qingqiu was immediately displeased.

"Young lady, if you don't stay here now, there won't be any room left when you come at the end of the month."

"You can't just sleep outdoors in the wind and rain, and you won't have anywhere to play then." The waiter looked at her with a smile on his face.

"It's settled then, let's go."

Ning Qi had made up his mind, and then simply tossed a storage bag to his assistant.

"Young master, please."

The shop assistant, seeing the money, made sure the quantity was correct and then offered to lead the two men to the correct location.

"it is good!"

Ning Qi nodded, then said to Xu Qingqiu, "Let's go."

"it is good."

After Xu Qingqiu agreed, she went with him.

Soon, they followed the waiter upstairs and arrived at the door of a private room.

The waiter skillfully opened the door and then took the initiative to invite them, saying, "Gentlemen, please..."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi agreed and followed them inside.

After they entered, they discovered that the place was a completely different world.

As expected, it's different from the ones outside; there's only one door here.

The waiter went forward again and opened the door directly.

"call!"

Suddenly, a small courtyard appeared inside the house.

There are also ivy and flower beds in the courtyard, and several side rooms.

There is also a pavilion in the courtyard here.

"Gentlemen, you can see the outside scenery from this pavilion!"

The shopkeeper led two people over and then activated the spirit stones here.

"Shh!"

The next moment, a phantom scene appeared in the center of the two days.

It's just like the image transmitted by the sound transmission jade pendant, only this one is clearer.

Wow, that's really good.

Looking at the scene here, Xu Qingqiu said, "We can see some of the beautiful scenery in the city without leaving home."

"Gentlemen, if you are satisfied, then this courtyard will do?"

Seeing her very satisfied expression, the waiter continued.

"Okay, let's do it here then."

Xu Qingqiu nodded, her beautiful eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave!"

"This is the sign for entry and exit. If you want to go out and have a look around, just take it with you."

"If you come back, there's this sign; you can open this place."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed a jade pendant to the two of them with both hands, adding a reminder: "Be sure to keep it safe, or you won't be able to get it back once it's lost."

"If you want to start over with us, we'll have to take more of your spiritual essence."

"it is good!"

"You go down."

Ning Qi nodded in agreement and then took the jade token.

"This humble servant takes his leave."

The guy then left as well.

Only Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu remained in the courtyard.

"Wow, this place is really nice! We can see outside!"

Yao Ling, perched on Ning Qi's shoulder, looked at the scene and said with great satisfaction, "It's so lively here, Master, let's go out and take a look."

"Miss Xu, what do you think?"

Ning Qi glanced at Xu Qingqiu beside him.

"Of course we'll go. I brought you here so we could go out and explore."

Xu Qingqiu readily agreed, and then smiled at Ning Qi.

"Okay, let's go then."

After Ning Qi agreed, he walked towards the door.

"set off!"

Yao Ling jumped around, very happy.

They arrived at the door quickly, and Ning Qi simply took out his jade pendant.

The door opened directly, and the two of them walked out at the same time.

We soon arrived at the inn.

By this time, it had gotten dark, and there were even more people on the street.

"It's really lively."

Yao Ling stood on Ning Qi's shoulder, looking around and occasionally praising him.

The nine-tailed cat followed Xu Qingqiu and continued forward.

"Ning Qi, there are many fun places here!"

"Whatever you want to play, we've got it here."

As Xu Qingqiu walked, she turned back and said to Ning Qi.

"Oh? Let me think about it."

Ning Qi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then let's go eat first."

"Yes, we haven't eaten all day."

Xu Qingqiu suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a restaurant. Their food is very delicious."

"Okay, then I'll try the restaurant you recommended."

Ning Qi followed, smiling as he spoke.

The two soon arrived at the inn.

"Please come upstairs, gentlemen."

The waiter quickly came up to them, smiling and inviting them upstairs.

"it is good!"

After Ning Qi nodded in agreement, he and Xu Qingqiu went inside together.

They followed the waiter all the way upstairs.

The two people upstairs looked at the tables, which were all full of people.

"This way, please, gentlemen."

The waiter then led them to a dining table.

After the two arrived, they sat down one after the other.

"Bring up all your best wine and food."

Ning Qi then gave instructions to the waiter.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

After agreeing, the man hurriedly left.

"Ning Qi, do you know how much this meal costs? It's too extravagant."

After Xu Qingqiu and the other waiters left, he said to him, "Why don't I go and tell him to bring less?"

"Don't worry, my master has plenty of spirit stones."

Yao Ling, however, seemed completely unconcerned and continued speaking.

"That's right, don't worry!"

Ning Qi added, "Now that we're out here, we can't just skip the good food and have some fun!"

"Huh? You're right."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqiu replied, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Don't be shy, just eat as much as you want later."

Ning Qi said with a smile.

"Gentlemen, the food is here!"

At this moment, the waiter came up with several other waiters.

Each of them was holding a delicious treat in their hands.

It looks so delicious it makes your mouth water.

"Wow, I'm already feeling hungry."

Yao Ling rubbed his hands together, revealing an eager expression.

"Please enjoy your meal, everyone."

The staff quickly and efficiently placed a sumptuous meal on the table for them to enjoy.

"Here, try this."

Ning Qi picked up a piece of spiritual vegetable with his chopsticks and offered some to Xu Qingqiu.

"it is good."

Xu Qingqiu didn't stand on ceremony and agreed, then began to taste the food.

"How about it?"

Ning Qi looked at her eating slowly and deliberately, and couldn't help but ask.

"That's good, you should try some too."

Xu Qingqiu didn't stand on ceremony and also picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, placing it on Ning Qi's side.

"it is good!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he began to taste the food.

The two of them ate with great relish. (End of Chapter)
