Chapter 261: Interesting
Watching the old man in front of him calmly drink the fifteenth bottle of spirit wine of different flavors.
He then ate all the new dishes made by the chef at Chen Miaomiao’s request.
The old man didn’t want the rest.
Chen Miaomiao’s eyes flickered slightly.
She was used to eating it, so she didn’t feel anything.
Eating so much, it was clear that this old man had a craving for food.
After finishing, the other party squinted and burped indifferently, “This meal is about enough.”
Meaning there would be a next meal.
Chen Miaomiao remained silent, wondering what this person’s purpose was.
The old man looked at Chen Miaomiao and chuckled, “With your abilities, why are you hiding in such a small sect?”
Chen Miaomiao was silent for two seconds: “This is my home.”
“Home?”
The old man scoffed, as if recalling something, and didn’t comment.
However, he didn’t care: “It’s good that you have these abilities, but…”
But what, he didn’t say.
After a while, he chuckled, “I’ve been looking at your spirit herbs for a long time, and before I could figure anything out, you interrupted me with your wine. This place of yours is interesting, I’ll go walk around below the mountain.”
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Miaomiao’s reply, he disappeared on the spot.
Silently.
Teleportation.
Chen Miaomiao’s pupils contracted. This was something that could only be done at the Nascent Soul Stage or above.
Even though the speed of the Golden Core Stage was extremely fast, no matter how fast, she, being at the Foundation Establishment Stage, would have noticed.
But the old man truly disappeared on the spot, his aura completely gone.
The System, which had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: “What was bound to come has come.”
Although the Longevity Sect was remote, it wasn’t impossible for someone to notice.
One Zhai Xiaotian was already enough.
Now, this old man was a complete unknown.
Chen Miaomiao bit her lip: “What should we do now?”
The sect’s secrets were very important, but facing a powerful, unknown person.
It was clear that the Longevity Sect could not afford to offend him.
If they rashly displeased him, the Longevity Sect might cease to exist.
System: “It’s fine.”
Hearing the System say it was fine, Chen Miaomiao relaxed slightly: “Do you have confidence?”
System: “No.”
Chen Miaomiao: “?”
System: “I said it casually. It’s human nature to comfort you. I can’t possibly say there’s a problem, can I?”
Chen Miaomiao: “…”
Sometimes, having this System in the sect, she felt quite worried for the Sect Master.

The old man walked to the foot of the mountain and saw the completely different scenery and architecture of Wang’an County compared to other places.
The city walls blocked some of the view, but they were not built very high.
With the current strength of the Players, they could achieve it, but building the structures too high would be too conspicuous. What if a Mighty Cultivator passed by and thought they were too arrogant, came down to investigate, and it would be bad?
However, they were built with great aesthetic appeal.
The old man stood under the statue of Song Jiulai and examined it carefully.
As he looked, his expression suddenly became solemn.
“To think…”
After a while, he suddenly turned his head, casually grabbed a passing Player, pointed at the statue, and asked, “Whose statue is this?”
The Player looked at this old man. Since the System had not made it public, they thought he was just an ordinary Mortal. They didn’t expect this Mortal to be so bold as to directly grab a Cultivator.
However, the Player was in a good mood and replied, “This is our Sect Master’s statue.”
“Your Sect Master?” the old man continued, “She’s not in the sect?”
“Probably.” The Player said, “I haven’t seen her anyway. Maybe she went on a long trip.”
They all guessed that the Sect Master had probably gone on a long trip to recruit people.
In any case, she was definitely not in the sect.
The Player, seeing the old man deep in thought, didn’t pay him much attention and left.
At this moment, a black wild boar suddenly rushed out from the side.
The boar was pitch black with no impurities. Its body wasn’t very large. It rushed out of a restaurant, squealing and charging at people.
It charged directly at the old man.
“Bang.”
As if hitting something hard, the black boar was sent flying.
It fell backward, legs in the air.
“Wang Cai! You steal food and run away every day!”
A Male Cultivator chased the black boar out. Seeing it had bumped into the old man, he immediately picked up the boar and instinctively said to the old man, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry. It just stole some wine and I was chasing it out, and it bumped into you in its panic.”
The old man paused.
He wasn’t angry, but suddenly said, his tone a little strange, “You’re apologizing to me?”
“Uh?”
Su Daqiang, holding Wang Cai, saw it still struggling and grunting stubbornly. He casually slapped it, “Didn’t it bump into you? You look quite old, and it’s quite strong. Are your legs hurting anywhere? If they are, take a Blood Replenishing Pill to help.”
This Blood Replenishing Pill could handle most minor injuries and was a very good thing for Mortals.
Su Daqiang took out a First Order Blood Replenishing Pill and gave it to the old man.
Wang Cai was used to being arrogant in Wang’an County, and bumping into people was a common occurrence.
It wasn’t the first time they had to clean up after it.
It was all Han Tian’s spoiling!
Even if they Players tied Wang Cai up with its legs in the air, it could still find a way to escape.
They didn’t know how it managed to do it.
Now that they had all left, only Su Daqiang was left to watch the child—watch the pig.
And watch the dog.
A Big Yellow Dog walked over slowly from behind.
Su Daqiang was wearing a specially made outer robe, which he had made earlier because his blue skin couldn’t be seen by others.
Now he could be seen, but his skin was still slightly blue.
He planned to go on a long trip once it completely faded.
He also had a few Little Flower Beasts stuffed in his hood.
Seeing Wang Cai causing trouble, the Little Flower Beasts poked their heads out to peek.
The old man looked at him, then stared intently at the First Order Blood Replenishing Pill in Su Daqiang’s palm.
After a while, he took it.
The Big Yellow Dog walked over, and Su Daqiang casually petted its head, “Fa Cai, let’s go.”
However, as he left, Su Daqiang was still a little puzzled.
Although Wang’an County had a population of several thousand, most Mortals didn’t often go out.
He seemed to have never seen this old man before.
His memory was quite good now, so he should not have seen him.
Perhaps he was an old man who rarely went out.
Wang Cai was still struggling desperately, and soon Su Daqiang’s tragic wail rang out.
“You actually peed in my hand, damn it!!!”
“I’m going to eat a whole roasted suckling pig in front of you!!”
After he walked far away.
The old man looked at the Blood Replenishing Pill in his palm.
Suddenly, he clenched his palm, and the Blood Replenishing Pill turned into a wisp of spiritual energy and disappeared without a trace.
The clear sound of children reading could be heard from not far away. The aura of Cultivators and Mortals here was mixed.
And it was mixed in a chaotic way.
“Interesting…”
“Really interesting…”
The old man slowly smiled.
Then he turned and walked towards other parts of Wang’an County.
He had only descended here because he sensed a subtle aura, but he had discovered something very different.
