In the afternoon, Mo Tianjun came back from the school and excitedly told them to pack their things before setting out.
Mo Tiange didn't have much to pack, so she just put the hundred or so coins in her pocket.
Mo Tianqiao's little girl, Xiao Shan 'er, packed a lot of things until she finally carried a big basket.
Mo Tiange opened the basket out of curiosity. There was a comb, mirror, fan, water bag, snacks, and even a folding stool inside!
She was amazed and asked Xiao Shan 'er what these things were for. Xiao Shan' er pointed them out one by one: If the young miss's hair is untied, she can use a comb and mirror; if the young miss is hot, she can use a fan; if the young miss is thirsty, she can use a water bag; if the young miss is hungry, she can eat snacks; if the young miss is tired, she can sit on a stool.
Mo Tiange asked, "What if it rains?"
Xiao Shan 'er immediately went to get an umbrella.
Mo Tiange was speechless.
Whether she was a young miss or not, this little girl had a good style. Tianqiao was really a young miss going on an inspection tour.
The three of them finally finished preparing and followed Tianjun out.
Of course, Tianjun didn't go alone. There were several boys with him.
The nearest town to the Mo Family's Village was Feiyun Town. It wasn't far, so they arrived in less than an hour.
When they arrived in town, Tianqiao, who hadn't walked for a long time, was so tired that she was out of breath and used the small stool.
Xiao Shan 'er was fine, but she was also sweating because she carried a big basket. Only Mo Tiange looked as if nothing had happened.
Once they entered the town, the boys couldn't hold back and went to play, leaving only the three of them. They waited for Tianqiao to get enough rest before going to the market.
Mo Tiange came to Feiyun Town with Uncle Awang when she was a child, but she never came out after she went to the ancestral house.
Feiyun Town wasn't big. They could go back and forth from east to west in an hour.
Today was the market, and people from all over the area would come to the market. They would sell their local products and exchange them for daily necessities.
Tianqiao sat there wiping her sweat while Xiao Shan 'er fanned her and handed her water, looking very busy.
Mo Tiange shook her head. She saw a stall selling meat noodles not far away and said, "Let's go there and rest.
Let's eat a bowl of meat noodles first. "
Tianqiao was excited the whole morning and didn't eat much at noon. She nodded.
The three of them went to the stall and ordered three bowls of meat noodles.
Xiao Shan 'er also got a bowl. Knowing that she could sit down and eat with them, she was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Mo Tiange couldn't help but sigh.
If it weren't for the fact that their family had a small amount of property, it was likely that even after their mother passed away, she would end up in the same situation as Little Shan 'er. When First Aunt bought Little Shan' er, she heard that Little Shan 'er was originally sold to a wealthy family in the city. But because she made some small mistakes, she was sold out. Presumably, Little Shan' er's life in the original owner's family wasn't very good. Tianqiao treated her well, so she was very grateful.
Meat noodles were a delicacy in Liancheng. Because there was water everywhere in Liancheng, fish were abundant, so people ate it this way.
The fish was finely minced into minced meat, then mixed with flour to form a dough, and then kneaded into noodles.
The noodle soup was made from bone broth with plenty of vinegar, onions, and ginger.
This kind of meat noodles was made with green onions and ginger to remove the fishy smell. Vinegar was added to make it sour and very appetizing. It was chewy and very smooth. Even children liked to eat it.
Tianqiao rarely ate this kind of delicacy. After all, the Mo family was a peasant family, so they weren't that particular about food. Aunt Lin only knew how to cook ordinary dishes.
The three of them ate a bowl of meat noodles each, but they all felt like they hadn't had enough. Tianqiao wanted to eat more, but Mo Tiange said there were a lot of delicious things in the market. If they were full, they couldn't eat anymore, so Tianqiao didn't order more.
Upon hearing Mo Tiange's words, Little Shan 'er finally realized that she was completely stupid for bringing so many snacks to the market.
She was originally a little girl from a wealthy family. People from that kind of family would only bring food they cooked when they went out. How could they eat unknown things from roadside stalls?
With the motivation to eat delicious food, Tianqiao also gained strength. The three of them began to stroll slowly in the market.
"Young Miss, look at this!" Little Shan 'er shouted while pointing at a lifelike sugar figurine.
Mo Tianqiao hastily moved closer. Sure enough, she saw a small stall selling sugar figurines as well as all kinds of cats and dogs.
Tianqiao's gaze was instantly attracted.
Occasionally, craftsmen would pass by the village carrying a pole, but they were very rare. Mo Tiange and Mo Tiange had only seen them a few times.
Thus, the three of them chattered about which one was beautiful and which one they should buy.
All of a sudden, the hair on Mo Tiange's back stood up. She abruptly turned her head around.
Not far from her, a person was looking at her. When he saw her turn around, he smiled and nodded at her. However, he didn't look away, as if he was waiting for her to come over.
After hesitating for a while, Mo Tiange pulled Tianqiao's sleeve and said, "Tianqiao, I'm going away for a bit. I'll be back in a bit."
"Huh?
Where are you going? "
"Nothing. Take your time and look around. Wait a bit for me."
"Oh …" Tianqiao blankly watched as she walked away.
Upon seeing her coming, that person turned around and walked in front of her at a moderate pace. He didn't stop until he passed an intersection and entered an alley.
That person turned around. He was actually an ordinary-looking youth. At that moment, he revealed a kind smile towards her. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm Li Yushan. May I ask Little Fellow Daoist's name?"
Mo Tiange hastily bowed, using the etiquette used to greet outsiders. She answered, "My surname is Mo."
As it turned out, when she turned around, she saw this person standing there with spiritual aura around his body. Obviously, he was also a cultivator.
Due to various reasons, she didn't tell anyone about the cultivation technique she obtained. Especially after her mother passed away, she stayed in an unfamiliar home. Her biggest secret was that she only went to look for her father after she succeeded in her cultivation.
In the past three years, she had been cultivating alone in silence. When she suddenly saw a person with spiritual aura around his body, she couldn't help but follow him.
The youth named Li Yushan didn't look down on her just because she was young. He said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Mo.
Being able to meet in the secular world is also fate.
I'm an individual cultivator. May I know where your master is?
Why are you also lingering in the secular world? "
"I … What's an individual cultivator?" She seemed to have heard this term before.
Li Yushan was stunned. He asked in disbelief, "Fellow Daoist, could it be that you don't have a master or an elder?"
Upon hearing his question, Mo Tiange recalled the common knowledge in the cultivation world. Her Ancestor and Qing Lian both said that people's minds were hard to predict, so she didn't deny it. "Young Master, you don't know, but my father is also a cultivator. It's just that when I was young, he left home to look for fated chances. He occasionally sent me letters, but he never returned home. That's why I've always been cultivating alone."
"Oh?" Li Yushan actually believed what she said.
Cultivation techniques and medicinal pills were hard to come by for cultivators in the secular world, so many people, such as himself, searched everywhere for fated chances.
"I see.
Individual cultivators are cultivators without any cultivation groups or clans.
Since Fellow Daoist Mo has a father to guide her, it's much better than me painstakingly looking for a fated chance to become an immortal by myself.
I can see that Fellow Daoist is already in the second layer of the Aura Refining realm at such a young age. In the future, you might be able to enter a cultivation group. It's really enviable. "
The expression on Li Yushan's face was indeed one of envy.
His cultivation level was only in the third layer of the Aura Refining realm. When he was young, he accidentally obtained a fated chance to become an immortal. It took him ten years of painstaking cultivation to reach his current cultivation level.
People like him could be considered lucky. Today, he suddenly met a little girl who was also in the second layer of the Aura Refining realm. How could he not be envious?
How could he know that the reason Mo Tiange could reach her current cultivation level was because she possessed a high-grade cultivation technique and a Spirit-Gathering Pearl? With these two advantages, she was indeed a bit better than fumbling individual cultivators like them. However, it was only a bit better, nothing more.
Due to the limitations of her spiritual roots, it would be very difficult for her to advance her cultivation realm after she reached the middle stage of the Aura Refining realm.
Li Yushan continued, "It's rare for us to meet people who share the same Dao in the secular world. Fellow Daoist Mo, since we're fated to meet, why don't we set a time to discuss the path of cultivation?"
