Chapter 1023 Coming soon
Time passed quickly like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Ever since listening to the sermons of Immortal King Changshun, Lu Chen's frequency of setting up his stall has obviously not been as frequent as usual.
But what is gratifying is that even so, the immortal crystals he can earn every time he sets up a stall are still quite considerable. These immortal crystals are enough for him to easily pay the rental fee for a medium-sized cabin.
During this period of time, Lu Chen set up a stall to earn fairy crystals while working hard to improve his strength. Except for his cultivation realm, he had obvious progress in other aspects.
On this day, Lu Chen and Yunxi came to the leisure area to set up a stall as usual.
However, when the two of them arrived at the leisure area, they were shocked by the scene before them.
It can be seen that there are very few pedestrians passing by on the streets of the leisure area today. The lively scene that should have been bustling with people is now gone.
Not only that, even the stall owners who were usually busy running around, as well as the many shops on both sides of the street, were mostly closed, with no signs of business.
This scene made the whole street look particularly empty and lonely.
"Hey! What's going on? Why is it so quiet today?"
Lu Chen looked at the empty street in front of him with surprise and couldn't help muttering to himself.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Yunxi beside him, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
Yunxi frowned slightly and shook her head gently, indicating that she had no idea about this.
After hesitating for a moment, she suggested:
"Brother Lu, why don't we ask someone? Maybe something special happened."
Lu Chen nodded slightly, thinking that what Yunxi said made sense.
You know, at this time in the past, the streets were already crowded with people, and monks were shuttling between the stalls, with the sounds of bargaining endless.
However, today, this place seems particularly deserted. Something must have happened.
Just then, Xia Chengan came hurriedly with an expression of anxiety and excitement on his face.
His eyes were sharp and he caught sight of Lu Chen and Yun Xi with just a casual glance.
Then, he walked towards the two people with swift and light steps, and said with a smile:
"Brother Lu, Miss Yunxi, you are indeed here. I went to your residence just now to look for you, but I found that you were not there. I guessed that you would be here in all likelihood."
When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but look puzzled. He turned to look at the visitor and asked, "Brother Xia, you look so hurried. What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
During this period of time, although there was a gap of a whole realm between Lu Chen and Xia Chengan and others in their cultivation,
But what was unexpected was that Xia Chengan and several other friends insisted that Lu Chen treat them as brothers. This sincere friendship really made Lu Chen feel warm.
At this time, Xia Chengan calmed down his rapid breathing a little, and then said to Lu Chen solemnly:
"Brother Lu, to be honest, the ship we are on will soon arrive at the Void Wharf in Yungang.
So I hurried here this time just to invite you to visit our family. I hope Brother Lu can do me the honor of visiting our humble abode."
As soon as the words fell, both Lu Chen and Yunxi trembled all over, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
It was not until this moment that the two of them suddenly realized why there were so few people setting up stalls today, and even the number of pedestrians coming and going on the street was very small.
I think it is probably because everyone has already learned in advance that the ship is about to dock, and is busy packing their bags and making preparations to leave the void ship.
However, faced with Xia Chengan's invitation, Lu Chen looked embarrassed.
Because his original plan was to transfer and leave directly once he reached Zixiao Realm.
After all, Zixiao Realm is Murong Xiao's territory. If he doesn't have enough strength, even staying there for one more minute will increase the danger.
Lu Chen's eyes swept lightly over Yunxi, and seeing that she was looking at him with a questioning look, he sighed softly.
He knew the complicated situation of Zixiao Realm very well. Murong Xiao was a local overlord, and there were many people under his command who were eyeing him covetously. If it was not necessary, Lu Chen was really unwilling to put himself in danger.
"I appreciate Brother Xia's kindness."
Lu Chen spoke slowly, "However, I have something important to attend to this trip, so I'm afraid I can't go to your house to bother you."
Seeing that Lu Chen's words were sincere and firm, and seemed to have something to hide, Xia Cheng'an stopped forcing him.
He smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "In that case, I won't force you. But Brother Lu, you're new here, so if you need any help, you can always come to me."
After that, Xia Chengan took out a delicate jade token from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Chen, saying:
"This is a token of my Xia family's will. With this jade token, you can enjoy the convenience of the Xia family's business in Zixiao Heavenly Region. It can also be regarded as a small token of my appreciation to Brother Lu."
After receiving the jade token, Lu Chen felt warm in his heart and liked Xia Chengan even more. He thanked him and carefully put the jade token away.
"Thank you, Brother Xia. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to your house and ask for a glass of wine."
"That's as it should be. Then we'll say goodbye. Brother Lu, please take good care of yourself."
Xia Chengan said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away with firm steps. His figure quickly blended into the flow of people on the leisure area street and disappeared at the end of the road in a short while.
After Xia Chengan left, Yunxi, who had been standing silently, finally couldn't help but asked softly:
"Brother Lu, what should we do next?"
After saying that, her big watery eyes looked at Lu Chen expectantly.
Lu Chen raised his head slightly and looked out the porthole of the void ship.
Through the transparent window, you can see the vast, colorful nebula outside flowing rapidly, like a dream and beautiful.
After a brief pause, Lu Chen turned to look at Yunxi beside him and said slowly:
"My plan is to transfer directly to the Upper Heaven Realm, where there may be more unknown opportunities and challenges. As for you... do you have any other ideas or arrangements?"
Hearing this, Yunxi shook her head without hesitation and responded softly:
"Of course I will follow Brother Lu, no matter where we go. As long as I can be with you, I will not be afraid even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles."
Lu Chen looked at Yunxi with a determined face, and couldn't help feeling moved.
He nodded slightly. Because of Yunxi's trust and dependence, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was even heavier.
Now that the decision had been made, the two no longer hesitated and decisively gave up the idea of continuing to set up the stall.
Then, they walked side by side towards the deck, ready to wait for the void ship to dock safely.
However, just as the two were leaving the leisure area...
