Chapter 19: It's Finished, Ti to Run Away Again
The man in the thatched hut paused, seemingly unable to comprehend it. After a long silence, he finally spoke. "If sothing reaches the Divine Grade of Mortal Realm and is then upgraded to a Low-Grade Spiritual Weapon, it will be a world-destroying existence among Low-Grade Spiritual Weapons."
Xu Ning was shocked and began to ponder.
Perhaps he could use the infinite ti of an immortal to upgrade a batch of Divine Grade Mortal Realm items before entering the cultivation world.
At that ti, upgrading all the Divine Grade Mortal Realm items to Spiritual Weapons would be much less dangerous.
As for what to prepare, Xu Ning felt he could think about it slowly, little by little, since he had plenty of ti.
After making his plans, Xu Ning prepared to go inside.
Just then, Zhao Datou opened the door and ca out. "Xu boy, you haven't practiced your skills today, don't forget!"
Xu Ning nodded quickly after hearing this. "I'll practice tonight!"
Actually, Xu Ning later realized that no matter what he did every day, Zhao Datou would urge him to practice his skills.
He wanted Xu Ning to develop a daily practice habit so that he wouldn't neglect it.
Returning to his room with Tie Dan, Xu Ning took off all the things from its body and put them away.
At this mont, Xu Ning noticed the lantern that Gu Haonan had given him.
Can this thing be upgraded?
Imdiately, Xu Ning greeted it. "Hello! Can you be upgraded?"
"Yes, Xu Ning!" The lantern imdiately responded to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning asked, "What do you need to eat?"
The lantern said, "I need fire, burning fire."
Xu Ning was taken aback. If he were still in Tianxiang Village, this would be a minor problem, since he had cultivated so many high-grade trees that he could burn firewood at will.
But things were different here. There was nowhere to plant trees, and firewood was a huge issue.
Although Xu Ning had brought a lot of charcoal before leaving, it was only enough for daily use. If he decided to upgrade the lantern, it wouldn't be enough at all.
Sigh! Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The more he ate, the poorer he felt.
He would have to find a secluded place to continue cultivating mid-grade mortal trees. He couldn't just sit around and do nothing.
Putting the troubles aside, Xu Ning cald down and began practicing his martial arts.
The next morning, after practicing, Xu Ning went out for a stroll, hoping to find a secluded place suitable for cultivating trees.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
However, after searching around, Xu Ning couldn't find a suitable place.
Seeing that it was almost ti, he decided to check again the next day. He went back to call Tie Dan, and they took their goods to the city to set up a stall.
The stall went surprisingly smoothly that day, without any unexpected incidents.
Moreover, it seed that because of Xu Ning's reminder the night before, the city gate guards had indeed received their reward money, so they were very polite to Xu Ning after he finished his stall and imdiately opened the city gate to let him out.
Xu Ning knew the importance of building good relationships with them, so on the third day, he deliberately saved so tofu to fry and distributed to everyone when he arrived at the city gate.
This further increased the guards' goodwill towards Xu Ning. Whenever they saw him, their faces were always beaming with smiles.
Life returned to normal, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two years, Xu Ning hadn't found a suitable place to cultivate trees.
However, because the tofu sold exceptionally well, Xu Ning had earned a considerable amount of money, enough to buy firewood, so he didn't push too hard.
Along the way, Xu Ning used a lot of ordinary firewood to burn and feed the lanterns, upgrading them to a mid-grade mortal level.
The effect was that they were more fuel-efficient and their brightness was significantly improved.
Since it was ant for a street stall, with so many people watching, Xu Ning couldn't possibly continue upgrading it, fearing he'd be exposed. So he simply stopped there.
Two years passed, but Xu Ning and Zhao Datou still hadn't received news of their enemy, Su Wei's, death.
Today, after finishing his training, Xu Ning, as usual, took Tie Dan into town to set up his stall.
Anyone who encountered Xu Ning along the way would greet him with a smile, calling him "Tofu Gentleman!"
Indeed, as Xu Ning's fried tofu beca increasingly popular, he beca famous throughout ngxi City.
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Ning had acquired the title of "Tofu Gentleman."
Just as he arrived and put his goods down, a group of servants suddenly surrounded him, trapping him in the middle.
This was the first ti such an unexpected situation had occurred, and Xu Ning was startled, quickly looking up.
Behind the group of servants, a white horse slowly approached, upon which sat an extrely beautiful young woman.
The mont he saw her, Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat.
The reason was simple: Xu Ning recognized the woman. She was Su Nan, the woman disguised as a man, whom he had encountered on his first day setting up his stall.
As the white horse approached Xu Ning, Su Nan, seeing his bewildered expression, was imdiately enraged. "You're the Tofu Gentleman?"
Xu Ning felt incredibly uncomfortable but could only force a reply. "That's !"
Su Nan seed to relish Xu Ning's submissive deanor and couldn't help but smile. "My family is short of a cook. Would you be willing to co back with ?"
Xu Ning knew he couldn't refuse. Otherwise, serious trouble would ensue. After all, the Su family's authority in ngxi City was not to be underestimated.
If he refused outright, he wouldn't be able to stay in ngxi City. Even if Su Nan let him off the hook, others, eager to curry favor with the Su family, wouldn't.
After pondering for a mont, Xu Ning finally spoke. "I need to consult my family. Miss, could you give two days to consider?"
Su Nan seed certain that Xu Ning wouldn't dare to play any tricks and readily nodded. "Sure, co to the Su family residence in two days. Just give my na, Su Qiurou!"
Xu Ning nodded hurriedly. "Okay, okay!"
Seeing Xu Ning agree, Su Qiurou was very satisfied and nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you to co!"
After saying that, she left with the group of servants.
Xu Ning had no interest in setting up the stall at this ti and hurriedly packed up his things and tied them to Tie Dan.
In two years, this was the first ti Tie Dan had seen Xu Ning pack up his stall early, and he was a little confused, so much so that he still stood there without moving after being tied up.
Xu Ning flicked him on the head. "Let's go, still spacing out! Thinking about the little cow or sothing!"
Tie Dan felt the pain and then realized what was happening and hurriedly followed Xu Ning, then protested.
Xu Ning simply chose to ignore him.
As soon as he got ho, Xu Ning shouted, "Old man, hurry up and pack your things!"
"Pack your things? What's going on?" Zhao Datou opened the door, sowhat puzzled.
Xu Ning said, "Let's go, sowhere else!"
Zhao Datou hesitated imdiately. "What happened?"
Xu Ning said, "We've gotten ourselves into trouble!"
Zhao Datou said, "Then, aren't we going to wait?"
Xu Ning said, "We'll co back in a few years!"
Although Zhao Datou was sowhat unwilling, out of trust in Xu Ning, he quickly went back to pack his things.
Soon, the master and apprentice were both packed, tied to Tie Dan, and headed off in one direction.
However, as they walked, they heard so news that made their eyes widen in shock.
