The Rising Phoenix

Bai Xifeng waved her hands. The beggars were sent flying before being stopped by the trees. After that, Bai Xifeng, without saying anything to the three newcomers, walked away from the place. The grateful beggars shouted, thanking Bai Xifeng again.

Bai Xifeng walked at her own pace, looking at the surroundings, searching for any herbs that she could pick up. While she was walking, she noticed the carriage behind her. It belonged to the three people who misunderstood Bai Xifeng earlier.

"Young Lady..." The old man called out for Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng looked at the old man, waiting for the old man to continue to say what he wanted to say.

"Young Lady, I am sorry for misunderstanding you earlier. We are going to Subei City. If you are going in the same direction, why don't you ride with me?" The old man offered.

Bai Xifeng's eyes lifted up after she heard the offer. Baishe told her that she could not use the carriage and the contracted beasts for travelling, but he did not mention using another carriage.

"Really?" Bai Xifeng asked back.

"Of course." The old man nodded.

Bai Xifeng was not a fool, not accepting someone's kindness. So, she took the old man's offer. The young man and the young girl have already made some space for Bai Xifeng to sit down. She sat down beside the young girl.

"I am Fang Shanyuan. You can call me Old Man Fang. These two are my grandchildren, Fang Zihao and Fang Daiyu." Old Man Fang introduced himself and his grandchildren.

"I am Bai Xifeng." Bai Xifeng stated her name.

"If you don't mind, can you tell us where you are going?" Old Man Fang asked.

Bai Xifeng did not detect any malice in the question. So, she answered it.

"Tianlong School." Bai Xifeng stated.

"You want to enrol on Tianlong School as well?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng nodded. "So, you are also going to Tianlong School."

"Yes." Fang Daiyu nodded.

"Where do you come from?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"The border city, Xianying City." Bai Xifeng stated.

"I see. So, you are walking from the start?" Fang Daiyu asked in surprise.

"Hmm... My teacher wants me to strengthen my body. So, he told me that I need to walk." Bai Xifeng answered.

"Then, is it okay for you to ride with us right now?" Old Man Fang asked in concern.

"Hmm... Well, he also teaches me that I can not reject someone's kindness." Bai Xifeng said.

"I see." Old Man Fang nodded. "Then, you two should travel together with Young Lady Bai later to Tianlong School. Strengthen your body. It will benefit you when you take the enrollment test. Is that okay with you, Young Lady Bai?"

"Old Man Fang, please don't call me Young Lady Bai. Just call me, Xifeng." Bai Xifeng said.

It was time for lunch. Bai Xifeng asked Old Man Fang to stop. Old Man wondered. Bai Xifeng told them that she wanted to cook some food for lunch. Three of them were surprised when Bai Xifeng mentioned that.

As a cultivator, they did not need to eat three meals per day. They could just take a fasting pill. However, this girl even told them that she wanted to cook the meal. How could she want to cook the food?

Bai Xifeng did not bring any bags for it. The space in the inner world was not big enough to store the kitchen tools. However, they still stopped as Bai Xifeng requested. Old Man Fang was about to ask about the matter when he saw Bai Xifeng take out a piece of paper. From that paper, Bai Xifeng took out several items that she needed to use for the cooking. She even took out the stove from the paper.

"Xifeng, what is that? How do you take out the item from the paper?" Fang Daiyu rushed to Bai Xifeng, looking at the paper curiously.

Fang Zihao did not say anything, but his eyes also locked on the paper.

"Xifeng, is this the rumoured storage rune that could store items inside it?" Old Man Fang asked inquiring about that.

"Oh, you heard about that? Indeed, it is a storage rune." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"I heard about that. It had been sold at 37 million taels in the bid." Old Man Fang stated.

"Owh. That storage rune is as big as the building. That is why it had been sold at 37 million taels. The storage rune I have here is not that big, but it is enough to store what I need for travelling." Bai Xifeng stated.

"So, when do you get it?" Old Man Fang was interested in getting one of them.

"You can get it at the Yin Weapon Store in the Capital City. However, I don't know if they have the storage rune in their stock. I heard the items are so popular. They even limited their sales per day." Bai Xifeng promoted her store.

"I see. If I go to the Capital City later, I will try to get one of them." Old Man Fang said.

"I will cook some food now. Please wait for a while." Bai Xifeng stated.

Fang Daiyu asked Bai Xifeng if she could help Bai Xifeng. Since Fang Daiyu offered the help, Bai Xifeng accepted it. She asked Fang Daiyu to peel some potatoes that she wanted to put in the beef stew.
