Chapter 476 Stifling in the Capital, Yearning for Freedom
"Sigh, the children all have their free days off, when will we be able to leave this stifling capital city?"
Grandmother Wen lifted the carriage curtain, looked outside, and sighed again, "The scenery in the outskirts of Beijing is never as good as that in the northern deserts!"
What do you all think? Isn't that right?
The old lady not only spoke up herself, but also asked for everyone's opinions.
The three sisters-in-law of the Ren family exchanged glances, looking at each other with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
This domineering old lady has really become a naughty child. She just said that she felt a little at ease after listening to Zen at the temple, but now she's restless again.
Grandma Wen started asking again, "I wonder where Wen'er and the others are. I really miss them!"
Well, ever since Wen'er left home, the old lady asks her question whenever she has a spare moment, several times a day. It's driving everyone crazy, even though she doesn't need anyone to answer. Everyone is worried that if she keeps asking, she'll become obsessed!
In fact, she wasn't the only one thinking about it; the people in the study in the front yard of the Wen family were also talking about the three Wen siblings.
"Father, do you think Wen'er and her two siblings will go to Xingyu City first?" Wen Qikang asked.
Wen Yuanqian glared at him and said, "I don't know about that. The children have their own ideas. They have their reasons for not saying so. Don't try to trick me into saying anything."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you two taken care of things here? When are you leaving?"
"Father, we plan to leave the day after tomorrow."
Yao Changhao said, "Let's go to the valley first, and then fly directly to Xingyu City from there."
"Okay, I see."
Wen Yuanqian pondered for a few moments and said, "Be careful in everything you do. Stay in such a good place, don't be lazy, and seize the time to improve your cultivation."
"Development should not be fast, but stable. We should proceed steadily and surely, and avoid being reckless or confronting challenges head-on, understand?"
Wen Qikang and Yao Changhao said in unison, "Father, don't worry, we understand, we understand!"
Seeing that the topic had come to an end, Master Zhou took out a stack of manuscripts and said.
"Third brother, brother-in-law, take these manuscripts to the manager of Yujianlou on West Eighth Street in Xingyu City. You can discuss the specific number of copies and the delivery method; I won't interfere."
"Brother-in-law, what is this?"
Yao Changhao took the book, flipped through it, and became more and more surprised as he read. In the end, he had to give a thumbs up. "Brother-in-law, you wrote all these stories? You can write this too?"
Master Zhou blushed and said, "It wasn't all written by me; my sons at home also contributed."
"Hehehe, this plot is really well written."
Yao Changhao laughed and said, "I've come up with another idea to make money, oh no, I mean, to make spirit stones."
"How about we pick some books with good plots and open a storytelling teahouse?"
The people in the room looked up together, and finally, Wen Yuanqian said, "Don't take too big a step. Eat one bite at a time. Don't lose sight of the bigger picture. Be careful!"
Afterwards, the group in the study started talking again over the open space in the Immortal City.
......
Medicine King Valley, canteen.
"Have you eaten enough? We'll set off once you've eaten," Ye Jingchuan asked.
"OK OK."
After finishing the last sip of soup, Yao Maimai wiped her mouth and asked, "Uncle Ye, which mountain are we going to today?"
Six or seven days have passed since Wenxia and Yao Maimai's group of girls arrived at Medicine King Valley.
These past few days, they have been attending morning classes at dawn, setting off at noon to collect and plant medicinal herbs on the mountain, and after a hurried dinner after descending the mountain, they begin their cultivation. It can be said that they are working non-stop without rest.
Logically speaking, with such a tight schedule every day, they should be exhausted or dissatisfied and complaining. However, after waiting for several days, no one complained at all, and they were full of energy every day. The Grandmaster was secretly observing all of this.
On this day, Ye Jingchuan received instructions from his master that he could take them to the mountain opposite Changming Peak.
"The mountain we're going to climb today is quite high and dangerous."
As Ye Jingchuan walked towards the back mountain, he said, "People from Medicine King Valley generally don't go to that mountain."
Wenyi: "Why not go? It's too high."
Yao Suisui: "A lot of wild animals?"
"You'll know when we get there," Ye Jingchuan said, keeping everyone in suspense.
After everyone had sped up for a while and stood at the foot of the mountain looking up, they finally understood what it meant that "people from Medicine King Valley generally don't go there."
This mountain soars into the clouds, its top invisible. There are many exposed rocks on the mountain, and at first glance, the sharp edges of the rocks are razor-sharp, and you could easily get cut if you're not careful. The mountain's slope is almost ninety degrees, nearly vertical. Who could possibly climb it?
Tell me, what ordinary person would be so bored as to challenge such a high mountain?
Even if someone knows martial arts and has light-body skills, if they risk climbing halfway up the mountain and something goes wrong, the consequences of falling down would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, they are not ordinary people.
"Uncle Ye, has anyone been up to the top of the mountain?" Yao Maimai asked.
"Have."
Ye Jingchuan answered aloud, but in his mind he added, "Some people flew up by taking advantage of eagles."
Wenxia: "Uncle, did you and your grandmaster ever climb up there?"
"of course."
Ye Jingchuan was very proud, and then said, "Alright, don't let your guard down. Keep your pace steady and you'll soon reach the mountainside, where there's a cave to rest in."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Wenxia, Yao Maimai, you two go first, and the rest of you follow in pairs. Don't worry, your uncle is right behind you. Watch your step, let's begin!"
After saying that, Wenxia took a deep breath, exchanged a glance with Yao Maimai, and the two of them channeled their spiritual energy to the soles of their feet. Then, they leaped up, aimed at the stable rock, and used their feet to push off and jump up again.
Following the leverage points found by the two in front, the sisters followed closely behind and continued upwards.
It took almost an hour to reach the halfway point of the mountain.
With Ye Jingchuan's help, Renranman and Renrandan managed to climb up.
It's commendable that the two sisters had the courage to come up here, but their physical strength was still lacking.
Upon entering the cave, Renran and Danjie were both panting heavily.
"Uncle, put it down, put it down! I want to lie down, don't call me, let me lie down for a while..."
"Ouch, this mountain is so, so steep! My knees feel like they've never bent..."
"No, I can't lie down!"
Ye Jingchuan grabbed the two sisters on either side, his face stern as he disagreed, "You two aren't allowed to lie down either. Walk slowly into the cave, let your breathing gradually slow down, don't stop, we'll talk after we've walked a bit."
Wenxia walked at the front, extending her divine sense outward. Through this exploration, she knew that the cave was a winding path leading up the mountain, but she didn't know if it led all the way to the top or was just a section of it.
The further you go in, the more you can feel the breeze and the fragrance of flowers blowing in from the other end of the cave, and the brighter the light becomes.
Soon, we arrived at the exit of the cave.
Wenxia and Yao Maimai walked out of the cave side by side, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they were instantly stunned. After a moment of hesitation, they ran forward and shouted.
