Mundane Saint

Chapter 94 – This System definitely has quite a few problems

After breakfast, Qin Yiyao hurriedly grabbed her sword and rushed out the door.

This left Gu Heng alone in the Medicine Hall to tidy up. Once he finished, he sat in the front hall, staring at the empty entrance, feeling as if sweat the size of soybeans was about to drip from his forehead.

Indeed, today there was supposed to be a big fight between powerful cultivators. In Cloud Spirit City, it seemed that both cultivators and ordinary people planned to go watch the spectacle. A few days ago, there were about a dozen people coming for consultations every day, but today, it seemed there wouldn't be a single one.

Just earlier, when Gu Heng opened the door, he overheard the seamstress shop owner's wife saying that her lazy husband had packed up early in the morning and headed to Desolate Valley.

Not everyone was like him, uninterested in the affairs of cultivators.

"Ah, life is as lonely as snow..."

Gu Heng sighed deeply, then stood up. On top of the medicine cabinet, a small silver cat lay comfortably, occasionally licking its paws and swaying its tail.

"Looks like it's just you and me, little one."

Hearing his words, the small cat jumped down into his arms, accepting Gu Heng's caresses.

"Meow..."

Su Jinxi yawned.

The demon race was quite fond of sleeping.

Unlike humans, the cultivation method of the demon race was rather peculiar, with "sleeping" being the most important aspect. Su Jinxi had once slept for seventy years straight to break through the Tribulation Crossing stage.

Now, aside from consuming Gu Heng's pills to accumulate medicinal power and prepare for her demon body's next evolution, she mostly slept every day.

Even the celestial phenomenon from Xiao Ling's breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing stage last night hadn't woken her.

Moreover, two novices at the Tribulation Crossing stage making such a big deal over a duel was truly unnecessary.

"Sigh, letting her go makes me a bit regretful. What if that girl gets into a fight on the way?"

Gu Heng murmured, stroking the little cat's head in his arms.

Su Jinxi couldn't be bothered to respond.

That mysterious girl, even at the second level of Foundation Establishment, could easily defeat someone at the tenth level of Core Formation. Now that she was at the first level of Core Formation, she could probably take on someone at the tenth level of Elemental Infant without any issues.

Plus, she had a heavenly weapon in hand.

In her opinion, there was no need to worry.

"Hmm, I should have asked President of the Phoenix Hall to assign her two guards..."

Gu Heng muttered.

He was still quite uneasy.

"Why am I telling you all this... Ah, but I guess no one will come for treatment today, so I might as well take a stroll."

Gu Heng placed the small cat on the counter, tidied his clothes, then closed the Medicine Hall's door and left.

"...Ah, I might as well go take a look."

Listening to Gu Heng's ramblings, Su Jinxi felt a bit helpless.

Since she had nothing better to do, she might as well go and see.

Since that little girl was her master's disciple, it was only right for her, as a pet, to take on the responsibility of protection, even though Su Jinxi thought there were probably only two people in the entire Withered Cloud Province who could directly overpower her...

And those two were busy preparing to fight to the death.

Thinking this, a surge of powerful demon energy emanated from Su Jinxi, forming her human form.

At this moment, the ancient lamp in the corner also lit up.

Su Jinxi noticed and looked over.

"Elder Su, planning to go out?"

Jian Xuan's soul light floated out from the ancient lamp. Seeing Su Jinxi form an avatar, he asked.

"Yes."

Su Jinxi nodded slightly, "That little girl wants to watch the duel between Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators. The master is worried she might get into trouble, so I'm sending an avatar just in case."

"However, I see Elder Jian Xuan's soul is being well-nurtured."

Jian Xuan chuckled, "Thanks to Senior Gu's lamp, my soul should be able to recover to the Great Ascension stage within a year!"

As a nurtured remnant soul, Jian Xuan had little to do but stay in the self-contained space within the ancient lamp, slowly repairing his soul, and then he could consider reconstructing his physical body, although that was a rather troublesome task.

"Since Elder Su plans to go out, why not take me along?"

The soul light wriggled, splitting off a small white tadpole-like soul, attaching it to Su Jinxi's avatar.

Jian Xuan also wanted to see how the outside world had changed.

"Sure, the two of us have plenty to chat about."

Su Jinxi agreed happily.

This graceful and beautiful humanoid avatar turned into a wisp of purple smoke and dissipated, while inside the closed Medicine Hall, the small cat climbed back onto the medicine cabinet to continue sleeping, and the ancient lamp in the corner dimmed again.

Everything was quiet.

...

Gu Heng closed the shop, then found a restaurant, ordered two jugs of good wine and some marinated meat from the waiter, and started drinking alone.

He had just taken a few bites when he noticed a commotion and shouting coming from the street next door.

Looking in that direction, he saw many ordinary people holding silver coins, lining up, and after paying the person standing by the street, boarding a carriage...

Though it shouldn't be called a carriage.

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

Because what pulled it wasn't a horse, but a kind of demon beast called "Gale Beast." This beast looked like a horse but had large horns on its head and six hooves. When it ran, it seemed as if the wind was beneath its feet, incredibly fast.

Moreover, it was one of the few demon beasts with an extremely gentle nature.

Even an agitated horse might kick someone, but a Gale Beast wouldn't.

"What's going on there?"

The restaurant was almost empty, so the waiter had some free time and sat by the window. Gu Heng, not knowing what was happening outside, simply asked the waiter.

"Oh, that's the Yan Family from the east of the city. They're offering rides for ordinary people who want to watch the excitement at Desolate Valley, and they'll even bring them back. See, that guy over there is a Yan Family servant, collecting money."

The waiter pointed to the Yan Family servant in the distance.

"Oh?"

Gu Heng mused.

The Yan Family was smart, taking the opportunity to earn some silver from ordinary people.

"I really don't get why so many people want to watch those cultivator lords fight to the death. Watching so much won't turn them into cultivators."

The waiter complained, pouting.

"Everyone has their dreams, right? After all, being able to soar through the skies and delve into the earth like a cultivator is something many people aspire to."

Gu Heng chuckled, finishing the strong wine in his cup.

In fact, he also wanted to go take a look later.

With the System's help, he had reached the limit of what a mortal could achieve.

Compared to others, he was the most qualified and likely to embark on the path of cultivation, yet the System just couldn't help him with that.

Damn it, he couldn't cultivate. He thought that after all this time, his mind would be steady enough, but in truth, Gu Heng still harbored a bit of fantasy about becoming a cultivator.

Gu Heng was convinced that the System could definitely enable him to cultivate!

Because some of the treasures the System had given him... allowed him to feel the thrill of becoming a cultivator.

For instance, those "Divine Movement Boots."

Walking thousands of miles in a day.

The fact that the System could produce such obviously extraordinary shoes already said a lot.
