Sitting alone on the edge of the cliff of the South Peak, Yi Chen looked down at the small county town at the foot of the mountain, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

At this time, it was early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen, the distant sky had just opened a touch of white, and the county town at the foot of the mountain was beginning to be noisy.

Yi Chen will get up early every day to climb the mountain and come here, because the south peak is the highest peak around the county, standing on the edge of the cliff can overlook the whole picture of the entire county, and you can also see the sunrise at the hour when the incense is half burned earlier than at the foot of the mountain.

On top of that, the summit of the South Peak in the early morning is very peaceful.

Yichen likes this feeling of purity.

There are more and more pedestrians on the streets of the county town, some are passing by in a hurry, and there are also a number of middle-aged women carrying wooden basins full of clothes to the stream in the east of the county seat, talking and laughing all the way, and more are the shops and vendors in the county town, in order to hurry up and open, the guys and vendors in the shops shuttle back and forth on the street, and their bodies are staggered and busy.

Gradually, the cries of selling also rang out one after another, and the county was a prosperous scene, so lively.

It's just that Yi Chen can't hear it here, the top of the mountain is some distance from the foot of the mountain, in this position where Yi Chen is sitting, the county town at the foot of the mountain can be completely covered with just a slap, and the pedestrians on the road are also the size of ants in Yi Chen's eyes.

Looking away from the streets of the county seat, Yi Chen slowly looked up at the distant sky, where the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the light was getting more and more intense, and it seemed that the sun was about to come out.

In a short time, the sun gradually rose from the other side of the distant mountain, and sprinkled over the vast land with a dazzling brilliance.

Staring at the sunrise for a long time, Yi Chen felt a little dizzy, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes, exhaled lightly, and glanced at the increasingly busy small county town at the foot of the mountain, showing a smile, then stood up from the edge of the cliff, patted the dust on his buttocks, and turned around and walked down the mountain.

Yi Chen did not go home, but walked towards a tavern on the street in the east of the county, to be precise, he did not have his own home, before he was sensible, his parents died one after another, and in the next few years, he was almost raised by various families in the county in turn, everyone regarded Yi Chen as their own, as if they were close relatives, although his biological parents had already passed away, but he did not have too much sadness, because for Yi Chen, everyone in this county is his relatives.

Greeting those familiar guys on the street with a smile along the way, Yi Chen walked straight to the location of the tavern, yesterday he was helping out in the Li family's uncle's bun shop, and today he promised the shopkeeper of the tavern that his grandfather would go to help.

Although Yi Chen is not very old, only more than fifteen years old, but his personality is very clever and sensible, and he is extremely diligent, he is not greedy for fun every day, but will often go to various households to help with things, and the people in the county already love this child, so everyone praises him.

The county seat is not big, Yi Chen soon came to the place where the tavern is, the tavern is quite old, some simplicity, at this moment the door is open, standing outside the door, you can clearly see that there are four wooden tables inside, there are some square-legged stools on the wooden table, and an old man with gray hair at the counter is turning his back to clean up the sundries in the wooden cabinet behind, obviously it has not been open for a long time.

"Grandpa Zhang, I'm here. Yi Chen didn't stay outside the door for long, smiled and said hello to the old man who was facing away from him, and stepped into the store.

"Oh, come on, open first, I'll go buy breakfast later, old man. The old man who was tidying up the wooden cabinet suddenly turned around, looked at Yi Chen and said with a smile, and then turned around and continued to clean up the wooden cabinet.

Yi Chen smiled and didn't say anything, he is like this every day now, sometimes he helps in this house, sometimes he helps in that house, in short, he eats in which house he helps, although it is not his own home, but it is no different from his own family.

He especially came to Grandpa Zhang's tavern the most diligently, the old man surnamed Zhang has no children, just a lonely person who opens a dilapidated tavern to make a living, and he can't afford to pay much to hire a man, so Yi Chen often comes here to help, anyway, the old man likes to be happy, so it can be regarded as accompanying him more.

First, the square-legged stools on the wooden table were taken down one by one and placed neatly, and the table top was carefully wiped clean with a rag, and then the floor was cleaned.

The tavern not only sells wine, but also sells tea, two copper plates and a bowl, send a small plate of peanuts, it is also affordable, most of the people who come to drink tea are pedestrians who pass by the county and hurry, they are tired of hurrying, sit and drink a bowl of tea, knock some peanuts, but also relieve some fatigue.

"Grandpa Zhang, is there enough wine in the store?" While stuffing the chopped firewood into the bottom of the stove that had been lit, Yi Chen shouted at the top of his voice, Old Man Zhang is old, although his body is still very sound, but his ears are not very bright, and sometimes he can't hear others talking when he is a little farther away.

"There's still wine, but there's not much fragrant bean. ”

Not long after finishing speaking, Mr. Zhang saw Yi Chen clapping his hands and walking in from the back door, walking straight to himself, there was a row of neatly arranged small jars on the cabinet in front of him, there were six of them, Yi Chen lifted the jar containing fragrant beans and checked it, smiled and walked out of the door, turned left and disappeared when he went out.

It didn't take long for Yi Chen to walk in from outside the door with the figure of the jar, the jar in his right hand obviously had some weight, but it was not heavy, the jar was not big, and it could only hold four or five catties of things at most, which was still very easy for him.

"Four catties and two taels, by the way, Grandpa Zhang, the uncle who sells fragrant beans wants me to tell you that peanuts will rise by two copper coins per catty. Put the jar full of fragrant beans back in his hand, Yi Chen said casually, and sat on the stool to rest after speaking, the things were almost done, and now was not the time to come to the guests, so he could rest for a while, and when he finished breakfast, he would almost come to the guests.

Old man Zhang nodded after listening, and didn't react much, peanuts and beans occasionally rise in price, but not much, now the peanut production in April is small, and it is normal to increase the price, and it is not expensive to increase two copper plates per catty.

After sorting out the sundries on the wooden cabinet and carefully wiping the counter, Mr. Zhang took out a few copper coins from the counter with a smile, and then walked outside the store, and came back after a while, holding two steaming oil paper bags in his hands and walking towards Yi Chen.

"It's the meat buns made by Uncle Li!" "Across the distance, Yi Chen smelled the rich fragrance, and his eyes suddenly lit up, this taste is very familiar to him, yesterday he was still working in Uncle Li's steamed bun shop, Uncle Li's own meat buns are among the best in the county, and Yi Chen likes to eat the most.

Hurriedly took an oily paper bag from Old Man Zhang's hand, looking at the three steaming meat buns lying in the paper bag, Yi Chen's saliva almost flowed out, and he didn't care about the heat, so he immediately grabbed a meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You kid, you're not afraid of burning your tongue...... Eat slowly and beware of choking. Old man Zhang looked at Yi Chen gobbling up, shook his head helplessly, and then smiled softly, but he was not in a hurry to eat, the buns had just come out of the oven, and now they were very hot in his hand through the oil paper bag, he didn't dare to eat it now, and he had to wait until it was a little cold before eating.

Watching Yi Chen eat steamed buns with a smile, Old Man Zhang's face was full of kindness, his wife died early, the two did not give birth to children, and there were no grandchildren, for him, Yi Chen was like his own grandson, and he could almost be said to be the closest person to him in the entire county.

There is nothing to do, and now it is still early for the guests to come, so the grandfather and grandson began to chat, and after a while, it seemed that they suddenly remembered something, and the smile on the face of the old man Zhang was slightly restrained, revealing a solemn look, and put the oiled paper bag in his hand on the table, and then whispered to Yi Chen.

"Child, I heard that the Qingxuan Immortal Sect is going to recruit disciples recently, how about you give it a try?"

Hearing this, Yi Chen's expression suddenly froze, the movements in his hand stopped, and after chewing and swallowing a few bites of the bun in his mouth, he was silent, as if he was pondering and recalling something, there was a trace of longing in the depths of his eyes, and then he showed some loss.

"Qingxuanzong......"

There are immortals in this world.

Not only existing in legends, immortals also often come to the world, occasionally show extraordinary spells, jaw-dropping, and sometimes even select ordinary children from the world, enter the immortal gate to practice immortal methods, and become immortals who can perform magical spells.

There is a fairy gate more than 100 miles away from this county seat, hidden in the deep mountains, hidden in the place beyond the reach of mortals, there are often auspicious brilliance appear in the surrounding sky, which makes the world amazed.

That is the famous Qingxuanzong!

The world is divided into nine states, each state is boundless, ordinary people can hardly go from one end of one state to the other in their lives, Yi Chen's small county is located in the south of a state close to the center, this state is called Qingxuanbu Prefecture, this Qingxuanzong is the most powerful Xianmen in this Qingxuanbu state, the strength is second to none, dare to name a state after the sect, which can also be seen the peak of its strength!

Everyone aspires to become an immortal, they can cast powerful spells when they raise their hands, they can do everything in the sky, everyone in the world yearns for this, Yi Chen is of course no exception, he has already heard the news that Qingxuanzong is going to recruit disciples recently, and he also thought about trying it at the beginning, but what disappointed him was ......

His qualifications... It's not enough to step into the threshold of Qingxuanzong.

Yi Chen is just an ordinary man, he shouldn't know about the qualification of cultivating immortals, and all of this has to start from one night two years ago......
