Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2311 - 2267: Restlessness

But they came down to eat not just to satisfy their appetites; more importantly, they wanted to learn about some matters concerning the Dajing Dynasty from the mouths of other merchants in the inn.

He is not familiar with the Mystic Realm, and Tu Qi has never been to the Dajing Dynasty, so it’s quite necessary to do some preparatory work before going.

And such a large-scale inn is the best place for that.

The two of them had just sat down when they heard two men at the neighboring table discussing matters related to the Dajing Dynasty.

One of the men, who was skinny, smiled and asked the slightly chubby man.

"Heh heh, brothers, coming to and fro like this, you should be able to earn quite a bit of Spirit Stones, right?"

Though the chubby man was physically larger than the skinny man, his face was marked with weathered experience, indicating he was someone who often traveled and faced hardships.

"It’s okay, barely sufficient, but lately, things haven’t been calm in the Dajing Dynasty. There’s always something going on, affecting things a bit," said the chubby man.

"Speaking of which, I remembered something a friend told me recently. I don’t know if you guys know about it," the skinny man suddenly said.

"What is it?" the chubby man asked eagerly.

Seeing that the other didn’t know, the skinny man immediately looked around cautiously twice, found no one noticed them, and deliberately lowered his voice, leaning into the chubby man’s ear: "I heard, the Dajing Dynasty is about to change. The old Jing Emperor is not doing well, and the Python King has control over the Capital, ready to assume the throne at any moment."

Hearing this, the chubby man immediately showed a surprised expression, apparently unaware of the matter.

"No way? Didn’t the old Jing Emperor appoint a Crown Prince? How could he let the Python King succeed the throne?" the chubby man remarked in surprise.

"Precisely because there’s a Crown Prince is what makes things unstable. The old Jing Emperor definitely still wants the Crown Prince to succeed him, but the Python King’s power is too great. If the old Jing Emperor passes, there’s bound to be turmoil in the Dajing Dynasty. Although these things don’t concern us, brother, you should be careful,"

"After all, you eat from both sides. If the Crown Prince and the Python King clash, the Dajing Dynasty is certain to be in chaos," the skinny man reminded.

"You’ve got a point. Looks like we really need to be cautious lately; a royal dispute is no small matter." The chubby man said with a stern expression.

...

The two men continued talking without pause, always discussing the Dajing Dynasty.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi listened for a long time.

From their conversation, Chen Yang heard some things about the Dajing Dynasty.

"Unfortunate timing; just as we’re headed there, such things are happening," said Chen Yang, lightly sipping his tea.

"It’s okay, I reckon this matter won’t happen anytime soon. If we quickly pass through the Dajing Dynasty, it still won’t have much to do with us," said Tu Qi, eating heartily.

"Mm."

Chen Yang nodded and said no more.

After finishing their meal, the two left and returned to their rooms.

That night, Chen Yang did not sleep but chose to sit cross-legged on the bed and cultivate.

After absorbing a round of Spiritual Energy, he let out a sigh.

The Spiritual Energy outside still can’t compare to Cangnan Academy.

The Spirit Gathering Array at Cangnan Academy is remarkably effective, two or three times that of the outside world.

"At this cultivation speed, I might as well practice my Cultivation Technique."

Finding the cultivation speed slow, Chen Yang simply stopped and began practicing his Cultivation Technique.

Running the Flame Decision, to open up his entire body.

Mobilizing the Earth Rock Fire, practicing smooth usage while tempering his body.

The night quickly passed.

The morning at Du Blu Pass was even more bustling, merchants gathering in large numbers.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi left the inn and headed to the western gate of Du Blu Pass.

Once they passed through the west gate, the territory outside was the Dajing Dynasty.

In such places, inspections and regulations are at their strictest.

When Chen Yang and Tu Qi arrived, they saw a grand scene.

Numerous caravans gathering in groups at the city gate, preparing to cross.

The grandeur of the caravans formed at least a hundred teams.

Each team consisted of ten to twenty people and many modified, tamed Fire Steeds pulling carts.

"Wow, it’s so prosperous here. So many caravans going to and fro, how much cultivation resources, elixirs, and herbs are being exported to the Dajing Dynasty daily," Tu Qi exclaimed in shock.

"It is indeed prosperous," Chen Yang nodded, also astonished.

It’s the first time seeing such a spectacle.

"With so many people, how long will we have to wait in line?" After expressing his amazement, Tu Qi felt overwhelmed.

The caravans were just too many.

Passing through one by one, with inspections done individually, it was uncertain when their turn would come.

The key issue was that the regulations at Du Blu Pass were extremely stringent, prohibiting flying.

To leave the city, one must go through the city gate.

Otherwise, the guards at Du Blu Pass would be alerted.

In severe cases, even the City Lord might be brought to action.

After all, Du Blu Pass holds a special position, being a border city.

Any disturbances could be significant.

"What should we do, Brother Chen Yang, we can’t really be waiting to have our turn, right?" Tu Qi inquired.

Chen Yang certainly didn’t want to wait either; he looked at the caravans and then thought of a good solution.

"Follow me."

Saying this, Chen Yang walked toward the forefront of the convoy.

He approached a caravan that was about to reach its turn and found the caravan’s leader.

The caravan’s boss looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a kind face.

However, the team’s strength was relatively weak, with the strongest only at Mid-stage Condensation.

Most of the others were Early-stage Condensation or even Perfect Gathering Spirit practitioners.

This caravan was considered weak among all the teams.

Chen Yang approached him precisely because of the caravan’s weakness.

"Boss, is your caravan in need of more hands?" Chen Yang asked the boss with a smile.

The caravan boss was very surprised at Chen Yang’s question but quickly answered: "Yes, very much."

"How about taking the two of us?"

Chen Yang asked the boss laughingly.

Hearing this, the boss immediately looked Chen Yang and Tu Qi over carefully.

He thought that though Chen Yang looked young and might not be strong, he could still count as manpower.

But with Tu Qi being so chubby...

He hesitated a little.

But after considering the recent unrest in the Dajing Dynasty, he thought having more people would be good, so he agreed.

"Alright, alright, but you two are too young, probably not very strong, so I’ll calculate according to the lowest price."

"If you accompany us to transport goods to the Capital of the Dajing Dynasty, thirty Spirit Stones per person."

The boss offered a price.

This price in the delivery market at Du Blu Pass is extremely low.

It’s several hundred kilometers to the Capital of the Dajing Dynasty, and only offering thirty Spirit Stones; who would usually do it?

This caravan boss mainly thought the two were young and Tu Qi was rather chubby, thus offering this price.

However, Chen Yang’s concern wasn’t the price; he only wanted to leave the city quickly, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Thirty it is, we’ll help you transport," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

"Alright then, go to the back and lend a hand; there’s plenty of stuff," the boss smiled and nodded, and the two sides confirmed their cooperative relationship.

Thus, Chen Yang achieved his purpose, enabling him to leave the city quickly.
