C14 Initial entry into the mortal world
A biting cold wind blew as snowflakes scattered down from the sky. The snowflakes covered the entire mountain and covered the land, causing it to look extremely beautiful. There was only one person walking alone in this snow-covered sky.
He wrapped himself up and struggled to move forward. However, he did not stop there. Step by step, he left deep footprints in the ground. The direction he was heading towards was the north.
In the cultivation world, there was a legend that there was a Sect of Cultivators in the north called Gui Yun Sect. However, no mortal knew where in the north. Only cultivators knew a little about it.
At this moment, the person walking in the snow that filled the sky holding a beast skin map in his hand was Wang Mu who had just come out of the village.
Right now, Wang Mu had already left the village for more than two months. It was already the middle of winter, and the further he travelled to the north, the colder it became. The snowflakes in the sky never stopped.
Wang Mu's face was purple from the cold. Although his hands were wrapped around the leather jacket, they were still frozen stiff. Even when he held the map in his hands, he trembled violently.
was currently heading towards the Gui Yun Sect to look for Liu Rulan. Two months ago, Wang Mu had advanced to the late stage of the Spirit Cleansing Realm, and Village Chief Zhou Hai had told him everything. After bidding farewell to the Village Chief, Wang Mu brought some rations and a map with him as he headed towards the Gui Yun Sect.
He has already walked for more than two months, but it is still an endless snowy mountain. The village chief's grandfather said that he walked for half a year before reaching the foot of the Gui Yun Sect mountain, to take a look at the grand occasion of the Gui Yun Sect. It looked like he would have to walk for another four months or so. Ru Lan, wait for me, I'm coming!
Every time Wang Mu felt like he could not hold on any longer, he would think of Liu Rulan, this person whom he had agreed to meet, this person who was the most important to Wang Mu in his entire life, other than Zhou Hai.
Fortunately, Wang Mu was already at the late stage of Spirit Cleansing. If his cultivation was slightly weaker, let alone going to Gui Yun Sect, he would have been frozen to death on the road and his corpse would have been eaten by wild dogs.
Another two months passed by. Wang Mu finally saw the scenery in the distance as he passed by snow-capped mountains and frozen valleys.
The current Wang Mu was standing at the highest peak of a snowy mountain. Looking into the distance, he saw three mountains, three mountains that reached into the clouds. These three mountains, according to the village chief, Zhou Hai, were the location of the Gui Yun Sect's gate.
At the bottom of the snowy mountain, there was a huge basin. As Wang Mu looked toward the basin, he was unable to see the end of it; he could only vaguely see the snow-capped mountain that was like his own feet at the end of the basin.
"Although I can see the three great mountains of Gui Yun Sect, from here to the foot of the mountain, I still need at least a month's time. It's better to leave quickly. Five years is almost up."
Along the way, Wang Mu rested very little every day. At most, he would just lie in the cave, make a fire, withstand the cold for a while, take a short nap, and then continue his journey. Now that he had reached his destination, he felt even more tired, and really wanted to sleep comfortably.
On top of the snowy mountain, Wang Mu saw the most beautiful flower in his life, the Snow Lotus of Heavenly Mountain. According to his grandfather, this Snow Lotus of Heavenly Mountain could increase one's cultivation, and could even make a woman more beautiful.
Wang Mu thought, since he didn't have any gift for Liu Rulan, he would use his psychokinesis to quickly pick the Gale Leopard and store it in a jade box.
After obtaining the snow lotus on the mountain, Wang Mu was very happy. He continued to walk forward as he gradually walked towards the Gui Yun Sect.
The mountain that Wang Mu was currently on, was the highest mountain in the south. The entire mountain was covered with snow, and on top of it, there were rumours that demon beasts were harming the people, so ordinary hunters simply did not dare to climb the mountain. Cultivators, Spirit Cleansing Cultivators, normally wouldn't come to this barren snow mountain because they could already fly on their flying swords. If they thought about this, they wouldn't have to come on foot either.
Therefore, on the entire snow mountain, only Wang Mu was left. He wore a thick cotton-padded jacket, and on the outside of the coat, were a few wolf skins. His entire person looked like a snowball, and was slowly moving down the mountain.
After a few more days, Wang Mu's figure was already close to the foot of the mountain. At this time, some people with good fortune were already able to see a snowball rolling down the snowy mountain. The snowball wasn't too big, but it was currently approaching the foot of the mountain.
Under the snow mountain, there were only a few small towns on the outskirts of the basin. There weren't many people here, and most of them were mortals with no cultivation.
"Look, that snowball seemed to have fallen a little bit more today!"
"Could that snowball be some kind of monster? Should we inform the mayor?"
"According to the current speed, the snowball will reach the foot of the mountain tomorrow at noon at the most!"
For the past few days, the people in the town looked at the snowball like object as if they were looking at a monster.
Every day, there were some people who had good things to do. Watching from afar and discussing, it seemed to have become a topic of discussion for everyone after their meals.
On this day, Wang Mu finally realized that the foot of the mountain was right before his eyes. Furthermore, Wang Mu could also see that not too far away in front of him, there were many people looking at him from the foot of the mountain.
After half a day, when the sun was in the middle of the sky, Wang Mu finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Halt, which demonic beast?"
"Demon beast stop, do you hear me? Stop!"
Voices came out one after another, and there were even some people spectating and jeering. Wang Mu did not know why, but he took off the wolf skin on his body and revealed his true appearance, smiling amicably at everyone.
"So it's a human. He's wearing a white wolf skin. I thought he was a demon beast, right?"
"He's a person, but why?"
Some of the spectators left, as though they were disappointed, but there were still others who stayed behind to look at Wang Mu.
Wang Mu was not used to being watched by a group of strangers. At this moment, he put away the wolf skin, and revealed his cotton-padded jacket.
"Hello everyone."
Wang Mu said while smiling, and then found a path, walking towards the center of the town.
The onlookers gradually dispersed. Although there weren't many people who went to the snowy mountain, there were still people who climbed the mountain every year in order to find medicinal herbs or the fur of wild beasts. After seeing Wang Mu, everyone had a pretty good impression of this smiling young man, so they all scattered.
"Dear guest, I see that you have just arrived at the Deyun Town. Do you need to stay here? I can guide you to our inn, but within the Deyun Town, the price is the cheapest and the environment is the best."
A person dressed like Xiao Si saw that Wang Mu was walking around aimlessly, so he walked over and said while nodding and bowing.
"It's a good idea to stay in a shop, but I don't have the money. I wonder where this young man can sell these furs?"
Wang Mu smiled good-naturedly, then pointed to the white wolf skins on his back. This was because, in his own village, he didn't need to use money to buy them, and as the village chief had told him, he could sell these wolf skins to trade for some money.
"Customer, of course there are. Follow me. A wolf's hide like yours will definitely be able to be sold for a good price."
Along the way, they would occasionally introduce some local customs and local customs. This guy looked very smart, and was engrossed in listening to Wang Mu, so he talked even more diligently.
Along the way, Wang Mu was also able to hear some rumors. This place was called the De Yun Town, and was the outermost region in the entire basin, it was not considered bustling, but among the three distant mountains, it was said that the immortals lived here. Wang Mu naturally knew that the Gui Yun Sect was there.
Wang Mu also found out from the little brother that the basin was actually called State of Yingyue, and even more, this little brother didn't know. However, Wang Mu didn't feel that it was necessary for this normal person to only know how much this Gui Yun Sect knew.
While talking, Wang Mu and the young brother had already arrived at the center of the Deyun Town. There were many people here, but it was the first time Wang Mu had seen so many people, and they were all wearing linen long gowns. Some of the rich people wore silk clothing, like the clothes himself made from beast skins.
Looking around, Wang Mu still gained some knowledge. The houses here were mostly at least a few storeys tall, and some of them even had patterns engraved on them, making them look very beautiful. The floor was made of stone, and Wang Mu still couldn't get used to walking on it.
Wang Mu had never seen any of the goods that the hawker was selling before, so he felt that it was new.
A few women that walked along the road did not dare to look at their appearances, but they were all smeared with rouge and had even looked at Wang Mu a few times more boldly.
Although Wang Mu was already a little over nineteen years old, it was still the first time he had ever been out. He had never seen so many people, seen so many strange things, and even more so, seen a girl wearing makeup looking at him.
Wang Mu was not considered handsome, but his face had a distinct corners and he had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. His intelligent eyes still attracted the attention of a few girls, but the most eye-catching thing was his cotton jacket.
Although it was a good thing to be looked at by a woman, but for the current Wang Mu, he did not feel well, his entire body was trembling slightly and his face was burning hot.
"Sir, there's no need to be bothered. The people here are very hospitable. I will only take a few glances at you. It's alright, as long as you get used to it."
The waiter was very quick-witted, being able to tell that Wang Mu should have come from the mountains. On the contrary, he spoke to Wang Mu in all sorts of ways, hoping to be able to tell Wang Mu a few more things.
Wang Mu was extremely grateful to this little brother, and kept a smile on his face at all times. He kept in mind all of the things he said to the little brother, and kept it in his heart.
"Sir, this is the shop I was talking about. This is the most fair one in the entire pawnshop. Let's go in."
Arriving at the entrance of a shop, Wang Mu looked at it and saw that there was a huge "Dang" written on it. had told these to him before in the village, so Wang Mu followed him into the pawnshop. It was his first time meeting the so-called pawnshop.
