Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1581 Linjiangxian 2

Living in the city would be closer to Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi, and would also bring some benefits to Jiang Xinxin, so she did not firmly reject the shopkeeper's kindness and settled down in the house arranged by the shopkeeper.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper explained to Jiang Xinxin, "This house isn't big, but the people around here are of excellent character. Especially the owner of this house, a scholar. He's very kind and generous, and he made his fortune in this house in the past."

"The scholar and his wife who live with you are both good people. You just need to be quiet on weekdays and not disturb the scholar from studying."

As for making a living, Jiang Xinxin turned down the job of cooking and boiling medicine in the pharmacy recommended by the shopkeeper, and showed the shopkeeper her embroidery skills, which made the shopkeeper completely relieved.

The shopkeeper declined Jiang Xinxin's offer to treat them to a meal and only agreed to wait for Jiang Xinxin to move her things from the mountains and warm her home.

After sending the shopkeeper out, the scholar's wife also came out. She was a very gentle person, not only in temperament but also in tone. "Miss Jiang, do you need any help? I've lived here for a long time and I'm very familiar with the surroundings. If Miss Jiang needs anything, please feel free to ask."

Jiang Xinxin was very grateful and even picked out some small things to trouble the scholar's wife: "Thank you very much, my lady. I haven't finished packing my luggage yet, and I have to run around a lot in the next two days. Please take me with you when you go out shopping."

When the scholar's wife heard this, she felt that Jiang Xinxin was not from an ordinary hunter family, and she might know a few words. Thinking that Jiang Xinxin wanted to support herself by embroidery, she felt even more satisfied and agreed immediately.

The shopkeeper really came to support Jiang Xinxin when she was in Nuanju. In this world, if a single woman has no support, she will attract countless covetous people, especially since Jiang Xinxin's ability to prepare medicinal materials is really good. And seeing that she is in good health, there will inevitably be people who wonder behind her back whether she has medical skills.

Even if her medical skills are just rudimentary, there are still many people who would want to take her as a concubine and possess her and her skills openly!

So, when Jiang Xinxin said that she wanted to make a living with her mediocre embroidery skills, the shopkeeper was really happy. After all, although not every woman can do this embroidery skill, there are indeed many people who learn it. What's more, Jiang Xinxin is only better than others in drawing flowers, and her embroidery skills can only be considered average.

Soon, Jiang Xinxin settled down completely in the county seat of Songhe County.

After only two or three years, the shopkeeper began to worry about Jiang Xinxin's marriage. "It's already difficult for a woman to survive in the world, not to mention you seem to have some secrets, which is why an old man like me is always worried. What are your thoughts on marriage, Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Xinxin has known the shopkeeper for more than ten years. Her figure and appearance have not actually changed. She just used herbs to change her skin color in the past, and then she went to the city and her skin color gradually turned white again.

Although the shopkeeper is not a regular doctor, he has met many people, especially the bosses Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue, who also have some magical qualities. So he really wants to introduce Jiang Xinxin to the two bosses, hoping that Jiang Xinxin can get protection from Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue.

Jiang Xinxin didn't hide it anymore and said directly to the shopkeeper, "Uncle, you should have heard of monks, right?"

The shopkeeper nodded, finally connecting all the doubts and clues about Jiang Xinxin. "So you are a cultivator, and why did you come to the mortal world—"

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "The worldly affairs refine the heart."

The shopkeeper savored these four words carefully, and recalled that Jiang Xinxin had initially made a living in the mountains through wind and rain, and now she relied almost entirely on selling embroidery patterns to save money for a living. He suddenly understood a lot.

The shopkeeper finally understood some of the anomalies of the boss couple Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue.

The shopkeeper had a son and a daughter, and now he had several grandchildren. Mortals naturally yearned to be cultivators. He couldn't help but respectfully ask Jiang Xinxin, "Immortal, how can a mortal have the opportunity to cultivate immortality?"

Jiang Xinxin thought about it. There is no sect for cultivating immortals in the mortal world at present, and mortals cannot cultivate immortals. However, the Four Spirits Immortal Master Hua Ruyue founded a sect and passed down the Taoist tradition. However, the Four Spirits Immortal Master has not done those things yet, and the shopkeeper and his family may not be able to wait.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin was a little embarrassed, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly passed over the matter, only reminding Jiang Xinxin that her appearance had not changed for more than ten years, which would lead to unwarranted speculation from others and cause unnecessary trouble.

However, after the shopkeeper discovered her little secret, Jiang Xinxin had to move to another place quickly.

This time, with the help of the shopkeeper, she bought the house next to Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue.

The shopkeeper knew that this was the limit of his interactions with Jiang Xinxin, but he still didn't want to give up the opportunity to become an immortal that was right before his eyes. After much deliberation, he brought his young grandchildren to Jiang Xinxin, wanting to know if they had the honor to also embark on the path to immortality.

Jiang Xinxin did not refuse the shopkeeper's request because she had already seen that these children had no fate to become immortals and could not cultivate immortality.

After the little guys left, Jiang Xinxin shook her head regretfully, "Uncle, it's hard to find immortal fate. Even though I was born with immortal bones, I paid a huge price to cultivate to my current level."

"You might as well train them to study. Your two older grandsons have some talent for studying and will surely become good officials who serve the people in the future."

After that day, Jiang Xinxin never saw the shopkeeper again, and the shopkeeper never mentioned Jiang Xinxin again. He just urged his grandchildren to study hard. When he retired from the Bai family's shop and returned home, his two grandsons were indeed appointed officials, and his family's fortunes changed from then on.

Since Jiang Xinxin became neighbors with Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi, she has not deliberately avoided the matter of cultivation. Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi are the most powerful gods in this world. Of course, they can see that the new neighbor is actually a cultivator, so Hua Ruyue discussed paying them a visit.

Bai Jiusi disagreed with their rash contact with a cultivator: "Ayue, have you forgotten that we came to the mortal world to overcome tribulations? If we rashly contact a cultivator, our identities will be exposed, and then things will be out of control."

Hua Ruyue had a different opinion: "Although we hardly use our magic power, and ordinary cultivators may not be able to see our true identities, a cultivator suddenly moved in next door to us. We need to understand the whole story, especially what their intentions may be."

Bai Jiusi was a male chauvinist. He felt he could handle everything outside, and his wife Hua Ruyue only needed to enjoy a rich and peaceful life. So he rejected Hua Ruyue's proposal again: "Just because we don't know the other party's background and purpose, we can't rashly approach them. What if we end up making things worse?"

Bai Jiusi didn't allow Hua Ruyue to visit the new neighbors. In fact, he had already made up his mind to investigate on his own. Hua Ruyue felt that Bai Jiusi was right and could only pretend that nothing had happened for the time being.
