Old Man Chen is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining and is doing this kind of thing, so one can imagine how difficult it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, Old Man Chen also had to save enough spirit stones from his teeth to support this long journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just think about it, from the most remote Great River Market in the Yuding Domain, across the Tianfan Domain and the Medicine King Domain, to the Divine Talisman Domain, what a long journey it would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators might not go so far in their entire lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Chen could make the Divine Talisman Pavilion cultivators in the Great River Market agree to take their grandfather and granddaughter with them, I'm afraid he also had to pay a large sum of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was just the first expense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expenses after setting off, and the expenses for another year after arriving at the Divine Talisman Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Little Shuyi fails to enter the sect, how will they live? If she succeeds in entering the sect, will they have to continue to support Little Shuyi? All must be taken into account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it, the number of spirit stones required for these expenses is enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Luo Chen could earn more spirit stones, he couldn't earn that amount in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of those were earned and saved by Old Man Chen bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the bustling market, in front of the empty bluestone stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old, young, and young, the three looked at each other without words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiuping and Luo Chen were immersed in the hardships of the past, feeling emotional, while Chen Shuyi was full of longing for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bluestone slab was moved back from the mountains by me back then, just to distinguish it from those rogue cultivators who set up stalls, so as to highlight that my stall is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I leave, you go to the Great River Market management office of the Yuding Sword Pavilion and change the name of this stall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll give you this bluestone slab too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, from now on, you will have to pay a stall fee of one spirit stone every month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking to the end, Old Man Chen laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at the polished stone slab, and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Chen, parting today is not a life-and-death separation, why be so sentimental?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, let the mid-stage Qi Refining great cultivator Luo Chen set up a farewell banquet for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stroking his beard, he laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I have to slaughter you properly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen waved his hand, \"It's just some spirit stones, let's go to the Zhongding House to set up a banquet, I'll pay today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about not having a bosom friend on the road ahead, who in the world doesn't know you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well said, I, Chen Xiuping, don't have many friends in my life, you Little Luo count as one. Drink this cup, if you can't make it in the future, go to the Divine Talisman Sect, Little Shuyi will definitely be Foundation Establishment by then, and she will take care of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, looking down on people, how do you know I can't be Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, your spiritual root aptitude is not as good as mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still talking?
