Chapter 58: Arrival in Pyongyang.
Looking at Bai Chen sitting cross-legged.
Envy flashed in Bao Guowei's eyes; he truly envied Master Bai for being so capable.
And it's so mysterious, this cross-legged meditation is probably the legendary martial arts, right?
As a man in his thirties, he grew up watching Jin Yong and Gu Long martial arts TV series.
that's it.
While wiping his wound with a pad, Bao Guowei tidied up the room.
He moved very carefully, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Master Bai's cultivation.
.....
It was past midnight.
The noisy prison fell silent.
In an effort to cut costs, prisons in southern New Mexico cut off power to all cells after 10 p.m.
Room 308, which was originally meant for six people, now only houses two prisoners: Bai Chen and Bao Guowei.
As a seasoned veteran, Bao Guowei was very well adapted to the prison's biological clock and fell asleep quickly after lying down in bed.
Bai Chen, on the other hand, was still in a cross-legged meditation position.
In this prison where there is nothing, only cultivation can pass the time.
It continued until the early hours of the morning.
"Phew~"
Bai Chen opened his eyes.
He glanced at Bao Guowei, who was sleeping soundly beside him, then quietly got up and walked toward the toilet.
The prison cell was pitch black; there wasn't a single ray of light.
But this was no problem for Bai Chen, who practiced martial arts, and he easily walked into the restroom.
The door closed.
Creak~
Bai Chen checked the toilet door, then silently recited a phrase in his mind.
"Time travel!"
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the toilet.
.....
Martial Continent.
Near a narrow trade route in a primeval forest, inside a cold, dark cave.
call out!
A man dressed in unusual striped clothing and plain cloth shoes suddenly appeared in the cave.
This man is Bai Chen, who traveled from prison.
"I need to change my clothes first."
Bai Chen looked down at his prison uniform. This outfit looked very strange and out of place on the Martial Continent.
Fortunately, he brought several sets of clothes with him on this trip. As for shoes, he didn't need to worry about them, since they were all pretty much the same style.
Because we don't have a mobile phone, it's difficult to accurately judge the time.
but.
Bai Chen looked outside the cave entrance; the light from when he traveled back was almost identical.
Therefore, it can be concluded that at most a short while has passed on the Martial Continent.
He straightened his clothes and walked towards the cave entrance.
...
At the entrance of the cave.
Han Shuisheng had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth and, out of boredom, used a stone to scribble on the ground.
Suddenly, a soft footstep sound came from inside the cave. He looked up and saw his master walking out.
"Mr. Bai, what are you looking for?"
Han Shuisheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. It had only been a short while since Master Bai entered the cave, and he had assumed that his master had forgotten something.
"No, I've already recovered from my wounds and come out of seclusion," Bai Chen explained with a smile.
Ok? ? ?
Han Shuisheng was somewhat bewildered.
My master has only been inside for a short while, and now he's saying he's already fully recovered and out of seclusion?
He couldn't help but scrutinize Bai Chen with his eyes.
He had changed his clothes, and the previous wounds had indeed disappeared.
In addition, there was another change that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
It's like... um... I've become much more cheerful.
Han Shuisheng stared intently at Bai Chen's face, especially at the smile on his face.
He swore that since he started following Master Bai, he had never seen such a cheerful smile on Master Bai's face.
In the past, even when Master Bai smiled, it was mostly a polite, forced smile.
"Master Bai, did something happy happen to you?" Han Shuisheng couldn't help but ask.
"Uh...did I seem happy?"
Bai Chen touched his nose and asked with some confusion.
"Yes, Mr. Bai, you seem much more approachable now." Han Shuisheng nodded emphatically.
"Haha, little kids shouldn't ask so many questions. Let's keep going."
Bai Chen laughed loudly and patted Han Shuisheng's hair.
Although I was imprisoned after traveling back to Earth, I also made a running buddy named Anna.
This released his long-suppressed gloom, and naturally, he looked different.
More importantly, they are full of hope for the future.
The early completion of the Bone Refining Realm has further increased the possibility of breaking through to the Innate Realm.
The resources brought by the journey between the two worlds also relieved his worries about his son's treatment in China.
Once a suitable kidney donor is found, my son's illness can be completely cured.
Everything is going in a good direction.
"Oh, I'll go get the mule."
Han Shuisheng, puzzled, scratched his head with a silly grin and ran towards the donkey cart.
Previously, to avoid exposing the cave, the mule cart was placed 200 meters away by a tree and tied with reins.
...
After several days of arduous travel.
at last.
A city came into view.
The city wall is over 20 meters high, with towers built on top, making it very majestic and magnificent.
There were two entrances at the city gate, and countless people lined up in long queues.
At both entrances, soldiers with long swords stood guard.
Bai Chen walked in front, and Han Shuisheng led the mule behind. After queuing for a few minutes, they successfully entered the city.
Inside the city.
The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and greetings filled the air.
Scallion pancakes, tofu pudding, and steamed buns—all smell wonderful.
Compared to the original Yong'an City, its level of prosperity is on a completely different level.
"Master Bai, Pyongyang is really lively." Han Shuisheng was dazzled by the sights and thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Pyongyang is the main city of Liuzhou, and it is a hub for the economy and population flow of the surrounding eighteen counties, so it is naturally extremely bustling."
Bai Chen nodded and explained casually.
Although it was his first time in Pyongyang, he was still a person who grew up in the information explosion era, so he knew these basic facts.
Han Shuisheng didn't quite understand these things, but he felt that his master was truly knowledgeable.
"Find an inn to rest for the night, and head to the eastern suburbs to find the Taiping Temple first thing tomorrow morning," Bai Chen instructed.
"Yes, Master Bai."
Han Shuisheng nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the two wandered through the streets and alleys and found a guesthouse with a relatively large sign to stay in.
The inn has a simple and unpretentious name: Ping An Inn.
The rooms are divided into three classes.
The lower-class rooms cost 100 coins per night and have three beds, similar to a youth hostel.
A medium-sized room costs 500 cash per night, and is a private room with amenities.
The superior room costs two taels of silver per night, with two rooms and a small courtyard, and includes steamed buns and pickled vegetables for breakfast.
Bai Chen was not short of money, so he naturally chose the most expensive superior room, which also had a small courtyard for parking mule carts.
...
Enter the courtyard.
Han Shuisheng lamented the high cost of the room; he used to earn only two taels a month, enough for just one day's room fee.
"Shuisheng, you stay inside and make the bed, I'm going out for a walk."
After leaving a message, Bai Chen went out.
He planned to go to a money exchange to see if he could exchange gold, so that he could bring the gold back with him when he traveled back to Earth.
While we're at it, let's take a good look around this city and see what good things it has.
