Chapter 448: Meeting Again
Baozhou, Xixia City, this is a beautiful ancient city.
This ancient city is located on a plateau, the sky is very clear, there are no continuous wars, the folk customs are simple, not prosperous but very peaceful.
To the west of the city is the endless white sand desert, with a very wide view. To the south is the spiritual medicine plain of thousands of miles, which can continuously emit spiritual energy to improve the surrounding environment.
And here, you can see very beautiful sunsets every evening.
Xu Xiaolan strolled in the streets of the ancient city. She chose to spend the rest of her life in this beautiful ancient city.
In the evening, she stood on the west city wall and stared at the colorful clouds above the sky.
She remembered the days when she watched the sun fall into the sea of clouds every day in the heaven, and the time when she and An Lin lay on the soft clouds and chatted and laughed. They also made an agreement that when the legendary wonder-the colorful clouds appeared in the Xiuxian United University, they must take pictures together as a souvenir.
These days have gone away like this...
Unconsciously, tears have blurred the sunset in the sky.
Xu Xiaolan was on the west wall, watching the sun set into the horizon, and then she found an inn to rest.
The candlelight flickered, and in the quiet night, she gently stroked the beautiful fairy weapon - Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Her realm has fallen to the seventh stage of the body of Tao. At this rate, in two days, she will completely become a mortal who cannot practice.
Xu Xiaolan suddenly found a problem. If she became a mortal, this ring would not be usable. What should be done with the items in it and the Dragon Sparrow Sword?
"I'm so stupid... I should have left the Dragon Sparrow Sword and the items in the ring to An Lin. It's a waste to carry these things with me."
Xu Xiaolan's face had regrets, but she soon shook her head again and shook off the thought. She secretly hated herself for being so disappointing and still thinking about that man until now.
She instinctively wanted to meditate, but later found that she could not mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth at all. She realized that she could no longer practice.
Xu Xiaolan smiled bitterly, blew out the candle, and lay on the bed.
That night, she had insomnia and thought about many things. There were plans for her future life, and how to deal with the things in the ring...
The next morning, Xu Xiaolan found a better house in Xixia City, bought it with spirit stones, and hired a few maids.
She was not short of money, and the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the ring were enough for her to live a rich and free life.
When she was lonely, she could also find a good husband to marry and live her life as an ordinary woman...
No! Thinking of this, Xu Xiaolan shook her head firmly.
For some reason, she was very resistant to this kind of life. She could no longer accept another person in her life, and maybe it would be nice to live her life alone...
Xu Xiaolan took the spirit stone out of the ring and put it in a stone chamber in the house. As for the other things in the ring, she would find a chance to deal with them later.
She walked on the street, and many pedestrians on the road looked at her sideways, with curiosity and admiration in their eyes.
Suddenly, there was a beautiful and elegant beauty in the ancient city, and everyone would take a few more glances.
Xu Xiaolan had long been accustomed to these looks and had no aversion. She was thinking that she should have a legitimate career. Although she was rich, she couldn't just eat and wait for death for the rest of her life.
She quickly decided what to do next, open a clinic!
Xu Xiaolan was very good at alchemy. She was an alchemist in the realm of god-making. She could be said to be a master-level figure in terms of her mastery of various pharmacology. Even if she couldn't use her vitality, she could still rely on her vast theoretical knowledge to treat illnesses and prescribe medicine to help people in the city who were infected with diseases.
There were thousands of miles of spiritual medicine plains in the south of Xixia City, with countless kinds of medicinal materials. She could do research when she was bored, making her life less boring.
Another factor for her to choose this career was that she could gain a certain reputation and favor in the city with her superb medical skills, so that she would not be bullied by people from other forces...
She was very clear about her situation. She was no longer the genius of the Suzaku Sect.
She is now just a beautiful mortal woman, a mortal who has no resistance to external forces... So in this situation, she must learn to protect herself.
Opening a clinic in this ancient city can help many people. From another perspective, these people who are helped by her are her umbrella of protection.
Xu Xiaolan's current cultivation has fallen to the second stage of the body of Tao, and her perception of the surrounding things has gradually become dull.
The originally clear picture is a little blurred.
The body that was originally full of blood and qi now also has a feeling of weakness.
She knows that this is the discomfort caused by the loss of power, and she will get used to it after a while...
Yes, she will definitely get used to it.
Xu Xiaolan bought a large store and renovated it into a clinic.
People in the city soon learned that in a more prosperous area of the street, a female doctor was going to open a relatively large clinic. It was said that she was a master from the capital and had excellent medical skills.
After dealing with the affairs of the clinic, it was evening again, and the sunset was still all over the sky.
Xu Xiaolan no longer went to the west wall to watch the sunset, because if she went to see it now, her heart would still hurt.
She believed that this feeling would fade as time went by.
She would live an ordinary and happy life in this city.
Another day passed.
Xu Xiaolan woke up from her sleep.
The sun shines down from the windowsill, illuminating the room with a hint of warmth.
She sits up from the bed with some effort, her slender white fingers clenched into fists, and then slowly loosened, without any strength, soft and weak.
"I didn't expect that it would feel like this after becoming an ordinary person..."
Xu Xiaolan smiled, her eyes were not very bright, but gradually dimmed.
She walked to the clinic, directed the servants, and began to arrange the purchase of medicinal materials.
The weather was obviously not very hot, and she did not do any hard work, but she was busy sweating and felt exhausted.
After a day of busy work on the purchase of medicinal materials, the sun gradually set in the west.
There were red and purple rays of light in the sky, which looked particularly beautiful.
Xu Xiaolan dragged her tired body to her own house, and the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on her body, stretching her shadow long.
She was still thinking about tomorrow's plan.
She was a very busy person, and had no time to think about other things, and no time to feel about her life.
Stepping on the bluestone bricks of the ancient city, Xu Xiaolan glanced at the sky in the distance for no reason. The clouds were as beautiful as a painting.
"It's so beautiful..."
She whispered softly, her body covered with the pale yellow color of dusk, and she was particularly lonely.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery, she had no mind to appreciate it.
Xu Xiaolan turned her eyes back to the street and saw a man standing not far away.
She paused and stared at the man infatuatedly.
The figure looked like that person... but the hair was white...
She felt that she must have hallucinated because of too much longing, and couldn't help but shook her head with a bitter smile and walked forward again.
The man stood quietly on the road, staring at the woman in blue walking towards him.
Xu Xiaolan finally saw the man's face clearly, and her steps stopped again, and she couldn't move anymore.
That familiar outline, that look that she tried very hard to forget, but couldn't forget anyway...
The two stood on the street of the ancient city and looked at each other.
Not seen for several days.
Meet again.
One has become a mortal, the other's black hair has turned white.
