Li Tianyan nodded, and together with Cheng Qi, he took out his badge and took on the two tasks. He also bought information about the Youlian Forest and the Chaotic Beast from the information wall in the mission hall.

“Young master, what did you write?” Cheng Qi leaned on Li Tianyan’s arm and asked curiously, staring at the jade slip in his hand.

“The map also has the characteristics of the Chaotic Beast.” Li Tianyan took a quick glance and already knew it, and gave the two jade slips to Cheng Qi.

Cheng Qi took it in his hand and looked at it, and found that one of the maps was a map of Youlian Forest, with the territory of high-level monsters in the forest marked on it, and the other one explained in detail the appearance, level, and weakness characteristics of the Chaotic Beast.

With a clear goal in mind, the two of them left the sect. After descending the mountain from Guanyun Gate on the right, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi disguised themselves as the two ordinary faces they had in the secular world, and quietly walked around to the foot of Tianfan Immortal Sect, Chijin City.

Chijin City was different from Jincheng or Yuncheng, it was controlled by a small cultivator family surnamed Jin. Other large and small families in the city were dependent on the Jin family, and the Jin family was dependent on Tianfan Immortal Sect.

Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi paid ten taels of silver before entering Chijin City. Although the Jin family was just an inconspicuous little cultivator family compared to Tianfan Immortal Sect, there were also foundation-establishment cultivators in the family. Compared to Yuncheng, Chijin City was a hundred times more prosperous.

The roads in the city were spacious and there was a constant flow of vehicles. There were various stalls on the roadside. High-level innate warriors and qi-condensation cultivators could be seen everywhere on the streets. Even the objects they wore were priceless and rare in Yuncheng.

Cheng Qi had been practicing outside with Li Tianyan for these years, and his vision was very different from before. Seeing such a lively scene in was no longer as novel and exciting as when he was in Yuncheng.

Just walking, the two of them stopped in front of a stall selling kebabs. Cheng Qi couldn’t help but raise his head and glance at Li Tianyan, feeling that Li Tianyan had come here intentionally.

“Can you still eat a hundred skewers?” Li Tianyan lowered his head and said to him jokingly.

A smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Qi’s face, and his eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. “Of course, I could eat another hundred skewers.”

“Boss, two hundred skewers of barbecue.” Li Tianyan turned to the stall owner with a smile.

“Sir, do you really want two hundred skewers?” Seeing that the two people in front of him were Qi Condensation cultivators, the stall owner spoke a little cautiously.

Cheng Qi said, “Just bring me a hundred skewers first. I want to keep my stomach open for something else.”

“Wait a moment please.” Upon hearing this, the stall owner quickly counted the skewers and put them on the rack for grilling.

Cheng Qi and Li Tianyan stood by the roadside eating skewers together. Many warriors and cultivators around them couldn’t help but look sideways when they saw this. It was rare to see cultivators eating on the roadside with such a carefree manner, but seeing that both of them were only at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, they looked away in boredom.

“Young master, I want to eat that.” Cheng Qi ignored the other people’s gazes and just finished eating the skewers and looked at the wontons cooked by an old woman. Li Tianyan naturally agreed, and he and Cheng Qi went to the food stall selling wontons nearby.

“Please be careful of burning.” An old woman brought two bowls of wontons to the table and warned them.

Cheng Qi drooled as he looked at the white jade-like wontons floating on the clear soup. He picked up the spoon and started eating eagerly. As expected, it was so hot that he kept sucking in his breath the next moment.

“Is it burning? I just told you to be careful. This has just been cooked. Don’t eat it in a hurry.” When the old woman at the stall saw that the child’s mouth was burning red, she couldn’t help but mutter a few words.

“The wontons cooked by grandma are so delicious.” Cheng Qi stuck out his tongue and praised the old woman.

Sure enough, the old woman laughed happily when she heard this, and said with some nostalgia on her face, “My husband and I have been cooking wontons here all our lives.”

“No wonder it’s so delicious.” Cheng Qi smiled. He agreed, but didn’t ask her why there was only one person.

Because he had seen the red knotted hair rope worn by the old woman around her neck. If one of the couples died, the other spouse would tie the knotted hair of the two people in the red rope and wear it closely, which meant that their relationship would be renewed in the next life.

Thinking of this, Cheng Qi’s eyes fell on Li Tianyan. Even if there would be no afterlife, as long as he could be Taoist companions with Li Tianyan in this life, he would be satisfied.

Li Tianyan heard the old woman say that she had been living all her life in Chijin City, so he asked her, “I wonder if there is a family surnamed Cheng in Chijin City?”

“Cheng?” The old woman thought about it carefully, “This surname is not common, but ten years ago there was an immortal cultivator family named Cheng in Chijin City.”

“Ten years ago? Has the Cheng family left Chijin City?” Cheng Qi asked nervously. Could it be that something really happened to the Cheng family?

“Yes, they left. About ten years ago, a young shuanger of the Cheng family was found to have a single spiritual root. It was amazing news and he was accepted by the Immortal Sect in the Central Region. The Cheng family offended Tianfan Immortal Sect for this. So, the family moved to the Central Region soon.” This incident caused a sensation in Chijin City for a while, so the old woman still remembered it very clearly.
