30: Chapter 30 Initial Stage of Meridian Opening

Mo Shoutian nodded, then asked:

"How is Xiaochuan doing?"

Liu Chunmei glanced into the courtyard and said:

"Still the same. Aside from eating, he basically doesn't leave the room and has been Cultivating."

"He hasn't been discovered by anyone, right?"

"No. When you were not around, apart from Xiao Niuzi coming over, Xu Qiuniang also came to pick up Xiao Niuzi, and no one else has been here."

"Mn, that's good."

After Mo Shoutian finished speaking, he looked at Liu Chunmei and asked:

"How much silver is left at home?"

"There are only the nine taels of silver brought back last time."

"Chunmei, this time we might have to pawn the bracelet first. I want to buy another carriage."

As Mo Shoutian spoke, he looked at the things piled in the courtyard from the Giant Tiger and Daniu's body.

Liu Chunmei naturally knew that a single carriage couldn't possibly hold all these things. Going to Jiuzhou City, they certainly couldn't make multiple trips back and forth.

Without saying another word, she handed the remaining silver and jade bracelet at home to Mo Shoutian.

Mo Shoutian took the silver and jade bracelet and said:

"I will make a trip to Qingshi Town today."

Liu Chunmei said with some distress:

"You just came back from the mountain, wouldn't it be fine to rest for a day before going?"

"No need to rest, I'm leaving right now."

Actually, Mo Shoutian was indeed tired, and these days he hadn't practiced the Breathing Technique taught by Qingli.

But more than a month had already passed, and he hadn't managed to get a single Spirit Stone, making him anxious in his heart.

Liu Chunmei said again:

"Then will you have a bite to eat before going to Qingshi Town?"

"I ate when coming down the mountain, and I'm not hungry right now."

After saying this, Mo Shoutian walked out of the house, glanced at Mo Xiaochuan's room at the doorway, and finally led the horse out of the courtyard.

In Mo Xiaochuan's room, his six senses had long surpassed ordinary people, and he heard the movements of his parents in the main house clearly.

He didn't speak, nor did he open his eyes.

Because he knew that only by working hard to Cultivate himself would it be the greatest reward for his father.

Just at this moment, the Spiritual Qi within Mo Xiaochuan's Dantian suddenly surged toward the Meridians throughout his body.

As soon as the Spiritual Qi entered the Meridians, he felt his entire body swelling, and his Meridians ached faintly.

At this very moment, Qingli said with a somewhat happy tone:

"Good lad, not bad."

After Qingli finished speaking, she chanted:

"Qi rises from the Dantian, intent follows the Spiritual Qi. Encountering obstruction must not be rushed, slowly force it open again, the Meridians unblock in one breath."

After hearing this, Mo Xiaochuan did not dare to have a Divided Soul, and slowly guided it according to the method taught by Qingli.

The Spiritual Qi moved very slowly in the Meridians, and when it reached the blocked places, he was no longer anxious, letting the Spiritual Qi impact the blocked place bit by bit.

Until late at night, Mo Xiaochuan let out a sharp roar, and finally entered the Early Stage of Opening Meridians.

At this time, the clothes on his body were as if they had been drenched by a heavy rain.

Sweat dripped drop by drop onto the ground along the corners of his clothes.

Because of the Formation set up by Qingli, Mo Xiaochuan's sharp roar was not heard by anyone else besides him and Qingli.

He clenched his fists and could clearly feel Spiritual Qi wandering within the Meridians of his arms; although very little, it was much stronger than before.

His six senses had also strengthened quite a bit compared to before. The range he could perceive previously was almost only as far as from the main house to his room, but now he could already hear the snoring sound made by Xiao Niuzi when sleeping.

At this time, Mo Shoutian was still riding a horse rushing toward the direction of Qingshi Town.

The sun had just poked its head out, and Mo Shoutian also arrived at the South Gate of Qingshi Town.

At this time in Qingshi Town, there were only a few passersby on the main street, and Mo Dahu had just started tidying up his stall.

Mo Shoutian had hurried along the road for a whole night, eating only a little dry pancake, and at this moment he was both tired and hungry.

He gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and walked toward Mo Dahu.

"Dahu, get something to eat and drink."

Mo Dahu was still somewhat dazed, and upon hearing Mo Shoutian's voice, he then looked over.

He only saw Mo Shoutian covered in dust riding on the horse, looking right at him.

"Brother Shoutian, why did you come early in the morning?"

Mo Shoutian yawned out of sleepiness and said:

"I hurried toward this side since yesterday afternoon, and didn't sleep at night either. Alright, hurry up and get me something to eat."

Mo Dahu rubbed his eyes and said:

"Brother Shoutian, sit for a moment."

Then he turned around and looked at Zhang Qiaoyun who was still walking over here, saying:

"Wife, walk a few steps faster and come make something for Brother Shoutian to eat."

About half an hour later, Qingshi Town gradually became lively.

Several breakfast-selling shops in the street had already set up stalls, and the hot steam in the pots kept rising outward.

The steamed bun seller lifted the steamer basket, and white steam suddenly surged out, and the fragrance of meat could be smelled from far away.

"Hot steamed buns, freshly out of the steamer hot steamed buns!"

"Bean porridge, hot soup, travelers come drink a bowl!"

Several peddlers carrying poles hawked along the street, some selling eggs, and others selling mountain goods and dried vegetables.

The poles swayed with every step, and their cries spread from one end of the street to the other.

Mo Shoutian, who had hurried along the road for a whole night, fell asleep leaning on the table at some point, letting out a slight snoring sound from his mouth.

Mo Dahu originally wanted to wake him up, but was grabbed by Zhang Qiaoyun.

"Brother Shoutian is exhausted. Go put a jacket over Brother Shoutian, and then go get some forage to feed the horse."

Mo Dahu nodded, then following his wife's wishes, first covered Mo Shoutian with a jacket, and then fetched some forage and placed it before the horse.

Looking at the horse eating forage in big bites, Zhang Qiaoyun sighed and said:

"Not to mention humans, even this horse has been starved to this state."

When Mo Shoutian woke up again, the breakfast stalls on the street had all been packed away.

Rubbing his eyes while yawning, he said:

"How did I fall asleep?"

Seeing him wake up, Zhang Qiaoyun took a steamer of buns from over the pot and walked over, saying:

"Brother Shoutian, you must be hungry, come eat some buns."

Mo Dahu also carried a large bowl of meat soup and placed it in front of Mo Shoutian.

Mo Shoutian picked up a bun; it was too hot, so he quickly blew on it and then took a big bite.

At this time, Mo Dahu asked:

"Brother Shoutian, you rushed to Qingshi Town in such a hurry, is there any urgent matter?"

Mo Shoutian said while eating:

"To buy a carriage and a horse."

Mo Dahu asked with some strangeness:

"Didn't you just buy one back from Jiuzhou City?"

"Not enough, I need to buy another set."

Next, Mo Shoutian told Mo Dahu about hunting the large beast and acquiring herbs.

Hearing that Mo Xiaohu was injured, Mo Dahu was still somewhat nervous, but upon hearing it was just an external wound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Mo Shoutian ate and drank his fill, he asked:

"Dahu, have you ever thought about renting a shop and opening a small restaurant?"

Hearing this, Mo Dahu smiled and said:

"I certainly want to, but the money in my hands is not enough."

Mo Shoutian smiled and said:

"Thinking about it is good. I'm going to buy the carriage first."

After speaking, he left some scattered silver. By the time Mo Dahu reacted and wanted to chase after him, Mo Shoutian had already ridden far away on his horse.
