The lack of response from the receiver would indicate that the other person was not within twenty kilometers.

The task has not been updated yet, and it is estimated that the task is to find the person. Q put the mechanical hummingbird into the sky, but found that there were few people around, and not even a village could be seen.

Following the "official road" made by carriages and horses, Q saw a road sign at the intersection from afar, with a crooked sign indicating the direction of Nanzhan City.

"We've found the road, but we don't know how far it is. There's a caravan coming from behind, with a total of twenty-six people. Let's go over and ask." Q looked at Li Tianxiu.

The main quest can only be triggered by meeting someone, so the two of them walked towards the road, pretending to be travelers and walking forward.

"Boss, someone's here!"

The caravan's guards saw the two men from afar and their expressions changed slightly.

"Pretend you didn't see it and go around it."

The owner of the caravan was a man in his forties with a neatly groomed goatee, which gave him an intelligent and steady demeanor.

He was sitting on a tall horse, with an upright posture and majestic eyes. He was a man who was both civil and martial.

The guards under him were all dressed in plain clothes, with only a breastplate made of hard leather on their chests. They looked very poor.

Under the direction of the shopkeeper, the convoy shifted slightly to the left, keeping a distance from Li Tianxiu and the other man. The guards unconsciously placed their hands beside their weapons, looking alert.

Seeing this, Li Tianxiu had no choice but to step forward and strike up a conversation, "Excuse me, can you give me a ride? My junior sister and I are lost and can't tell the direction. We will pay and leave when we reach the next city."

Without waiting for the shopkeeper's reply, the head of the guard rejected his request: "Go away! We don't bring people with unknown backgrounds!"

"When you're out and about, what's wrong with helping each other? Why are you being so secretive? Are you hiding someone from the White Lotus Sect?"

Seeing that they seemed to be having difficulty communicating, Q immediately started to complain.

"What did you say?!"

The guard suddenly became nervous and drew out his sword.

However, his movements did not contain any fluctuations of true energy, and he looked like just an ordinary person.

"Hey, stop talking nonsense. The White Lotus Sect has been destroyed. Didn't the convoy escorting them just pass by?"

Li Tianxiu quickly rebuked her and said to the guards, "It's a misunderstanding. Let's see if there are other caravans passing by."

"Escort convoy?"

Hearing this word, the shopkeeper's heart sank.

Not far away, Q was pulled back by Li Tianxiu and an argument ensued for a while.

The shopkeeper's face turned cold, and he called out a name softly: "Mr. Xie."

An old man who was sleeping on the bed turned over and sank into the haystack when he heard this. Then he turned into a shadow and quietly slipped into the woods next to him.

Soon, the convoy separated from the two men.

Q has a strong sense of perception and many informants. He had already discovered the old man hiding in the dense forest, so he continued to act and said to Li Tianxiu: "There are still so many empty seats in their car. Even two people refused, and the captain's reaction was so big. There must be something fishy.

Let's go around and ask those people from Nanzhan Prefecture. If we catch them, maybe we can even take their car."

"Do we have to take the car? We can just run as fast as we can. We won't be much slower than them." Li Tianxiu also echoed.

"Did you see the way that bastard was staring at us? It was like he was guarding us against thieves!

We are immortals! How can mortals stare at us like this? I have a good temper if I don't chop them to pieces on the spot." Q looked angry and didn't want to give up.

"To cultivate the Tao you must first cultivate your mind. If you do this you will... be gone."

Li Tianxiu stopped halfway through his words and looked in the direction the convoy was leaving.

The old man who was spying was probably also a cultivator, good at hiding, and it was unknown how much weaker he was than the ones escorting them.

"We're leaving now. What if they're really not afraid?"

Q also looked up in the direction the old man left for a while, frowning tightly.

“As a businessman, it’s normal to be cautious.

If they don't come back, we'll negotiate again. If that doesn't work, we'll speed up and travel half a day first."

Li Tianxiu crossed his arms over his chest, a thoughtful look on his face.

The old man might have stayed with the intention of silencing them, and their chat was a warning.

If this guy insists on fighting, then there's nothing wrong with using fists to talk. But if he backs down, the leader of the convoy will probably be much more polite during the second negotiation.

After all, what they need now is intelligence.

But what Li Tianxiu didn't expect was that shortly after the old man left, the caravan in front stopped moving forward, and the shopkeeper and the captain of the guard personally came to the end of the team, waiting for them to come forward.

"My two young men, I, Guo, have failed to recognize the great man.

We have allocated a superior carriage for you, and we hope you will forgive me for my mistakes."

Shopkeeper Guo nodded sincerely and kept a low profile.

But on the other hand, it also revealed the fact that they knew they were practitioners, which was like showing their bargaining chips.

He is a smart man.

"Boss, you're too kind. My sister just has a quick temper and doesn't mean any ill will." Li Tianxiu stepped forward to explain.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Shopkeeper Guo smiled and waved his hand, leading them to the cleared frame at the back.

"No need, we don't really need to rest. We can just sit outside and get familiar with the road. Thank you for your help." Li Tianxiu smiled and thanked him.

Transporting goods is a boring job, and the guards and escort leaders have to rely on chatting to relieve their fatigue along the way.

It is always easier to communicate sitting in the empty seat of a truck than in a luxurious frame.

"Um...okay then."

Shopkeeper Guo couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he could only look at the truck where the old man was resting, but he remained unmoved.

Li Tianxiu walked up and asked with a smile, "What's your name, fellow Taoist?"

Both he and Q have fluctuations of spiritual power, which is quite different from the system of cultivating immortals, so the old man probably couldn't see their true strength.

And this sentence of "fellow Taoist" was telling the old man that he had already seen through his identity.

"Thank you Qiuze."

The old man opened his eyes and looked at him.

"My name is Jiang Bai, my junior sister is Li Qingya, and I learned from Qingfeng Temple." Li Tianxiu introduced herself.

"do not know."

Xie Qiuze curled his lips, looking like he didn't want to talk.

Just as Li Tianxiu was thinking about how to open the topic, a simple and honest voice came from the side: "Sister, you are so beautiful, what's your name?"

"Ah I?"

Suddenly a enthusiastic young man popped out, and Q seemed a little surprised.

She turned to look at the person who came. He was a tall young man with a chubby face.

His clothes were a little wrinkled, but overall he was neat. However, his expectant eyes looked a little dull.

"Xiaolong! Go back to your car!"

Seeing this situation, Shopkeeper Guo hurried over and tried to pull the people apart.

"I'm not going back. It's too boring in there. I want to get married!" said the tall young man dissatisfiedly.

"go back!"

Shopkeeper Guo scolded him, then said to Q: "I'm really sorry, this is my son Guo Zilong. He had a fever when he was a child and his brain was damaged, so he can't speak very well."

"Oh, it's okay. I quite like this guy." Q smiled.

It's good to be stupid.

What a cliché.

And she also likes to hear people praise others for their good looks right away.

"Did you hear that? She said she likes me!" Guo Zilong obviously misunderstood.

"It's not that kind of like! Go back quickly!" Shopkeeper Guo corrected.

"Oh……"

Guo Zilong walked back feeling aggrieved.

"Manager Guo, are you going back to Nanzhan City?" Li Tianxiu asked casually.

"Oh, yes." Shopkeeper Guo nodded.

"Is it okay to run so fast?" Li Tianxiu looked back at the convoy.

The horses in this world are extremely strong, and their running speed is at least 40 kilometers per hour.

In terms of speed alone, it is not fast.

But the road conditions here are not as good as those of modern times. He also heard clanging sounds coming from some boxes, as if something had been broken.

"what……"

Manager Guo's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and explained, "The goods we transport are mainly cloth, so there's no need to worry about bumps.

If you are in a hurry, you can go even faster."

"I see……"

"a ha ha ha……"

As if some secret had been discovered by him, Manager Guo just smiled along, making the atmosphere between them a little awkward for a moment.

After thinking for a while, Li Tianxiu tried to explain: "Manager Guo, don't be so reserved. We are cultivators and are not interested in ordinary money. We are just chatting casually."

What do you do for a living? Where did you make your fortune recently? These are all common questions to enhance communication between strangers.

But Manager Guo seemed overly nervous.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang naturally doesn’t care about this little bit of money.

But if you want to make a lot of money, you can try to find the Winter Spirit Horse.

King Nanzhan offered a reward of one thousand and two taels of gold, and recently there was news that a spiritual horse had appeared in the Black Forest. It moved as fast as the wind and no ordinary horse could match it.

But you are cultivators, and you are qualified to tame that kind of spirit horse." Xie Qiuze suddenly interrupted.

"A thousand gold..."

Li Tianxiu's pupils shrank and he suddenly thought of a question.

Xie Qiuze thought that they would spend time looking for horses to earn one thousand two taels of gold. Could it be that the cultivators in this world did not have special currencies such as spirit stones?

"Is this a test for me..."

Li Tianxiu realized something and decided not to show too much greed. He politely declined, "I'm mainly here to watch the execution of the White Lotus Sect. I feel sick of those guys. You should understand, right?"

"Ah."

Xie Qiuze nodded, his pupils shrinking slightly.

After all, the White Lotus Sect slandered all cultivators, and even mortals called them a cult.

"Hahaha, it's rare to find a cultivator like Young Master Jiang who can remain unmoved by huge amounts of gold." Shopkeeper Guo praised.

"We came from the Black Forest and didn't see any trace of the spirit horse." Li Tianxiu said.

There was no task prompt in the reincarnation space yet, which meant that this thing was probably not important. What he needed now was a full understanding of the major events in this world.

For example, the King Nanzhan mentioned just now.

"Forehead……"

The guards nearby looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they had never seen someone who treated money so lightly.

The immortal cultivator has changed his nature?

"A treasure like a spirit horse is hard to come by, it all depends on luck."

Q shrugged and decided to lighten the mood. "If I'm lucky, maybe I won't even have to look for it. My horse will have an epiphany one day and suddenly become a spiritual horse? Hahaha..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many guards changed.
