What was the purpose of cultivation?
When he was young, he cultivated to get the attention of his father and mother, that was all. Therefore, Wu Chen did not think too much about this problem. When he reached the imperial prison, he wanted to cultivate but had no conditions. It was only when Pu Shan appeared that this situation changed. At this time, the goal of cultivation became to strengthen himself, so that he had the ability to protect himself. Then, he would have the ability to avenge his mother. Although these reasons could become the goal of Wu Chen's cultivation, when Guang Yuanzi asked about this, Wu Chen realized that these reasons were not enough to answer this question.
What was the purpose of cultivation? It became an opportunity for Wu Chen to reflect on himself.
"There's no rush to answer this question. I'll come back to you when you have an answer. As for the Flying Cloud Crane Dance Painting, I'll leave it with you for now. I hope you can cultivate it well. I'll tarnish this Flying Cloud Crane Dance Painting!”Guang Yuanzi looked at Wu Chen, who was deep in thought. He knew that it would take some time for Wu Chen to get his answer, so he was not in a hurry. He placed an ancient scroll on the stage and left.
"Senior, didn't we agree that I would only get the Flying Cloud Crane Dance Painting if I answered the question? I don't have an answer now, so how can I accept it!”Although Wu Chen really needed a complete painting of the Flying Cloud Crane Dance to further his cultivation, Wu Chen, who was extremely principled, was unable to accept this painting that he had dreamed of.
"I knew you would give me an answer. I don't doubt it. Well, the ship to Cangzhou has arrived. I wish you a smooth journey. I hope you can get your own answer before we meet again.”The smile on Guang Yuanzi's face grew wider when he saw that Wu Chen was unmoved by the painting on the table.
"Senior, don't worry. Before we meet again, I will definitely find the answer that belongs to me.”
Looking at Guang Yuanzi's receding figure, Wu Chen suddenly realized that he was interested in this mysterious and wretched old man. After putting away the painting on the table, Wu Chen prepared to board the ship and leave. However, at this moment, something that made Wu Chen not know whether to laugh or cry happened.
"Sir, are you paying for this tea?”At this moment, Wu Chen was the only one left in the tea shop. The owner of the tea shop seemed to be afraid that Wu Chen wouldn't pay, so he looked at Wu Chen cautiously as he prepared to leave.
"Looks like this old man really wants me to treat him to tea.”Thinking back to Guang Yuanzi's words when he left that day, Wu Chen shrugged helplessly. It seemed that he couldn't avoid paying for this meal.
With the arrival of the Cangzhou passenger ship, the entire dock became lively. Pilots carried goods up and down one by one. The small vendors who were originally waiting on the shore also began a new round of peddling to the people who got off the passenger ship.
Seeing the passenger ship dock, Wu Chen immediately walked towards the ship heading to Cang Prefecture.
"Young Master, are you going to Azure Continent? If so, please board the ship. Once the goods are restocked, the ship will set off.”Seeing Wu Chen walk over, the sharp-eyed crew member noticed him and quickly greeted him with a smile.
"How do I buy this ticket?" Seeing the crew members welcoming them, Wu Chen could not help but frown when he saw that there were already quite a few people sitting in the cabin.
"Young Master, you came at the right time. There is still one more VIP cabin on our ship. No one can disturb Young Master's rest in the VIP cabin, and the VIP cabin only costs three stripes of silver.”Seeing Wu Chen's frown, the crew member was also a smart person. He skipped the ordinary cabin and directly sold the VIP cabin to Wu Chen.
"VIP cabin? Keep the change. You can split the rest.”He took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and threw it to the crew.
"Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Young Master. Please follow me.”Seeing the silver ingot thrown by Wu Chen, the crew member's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face widened. He walked in front of Wu Chen and led the way.
According to the currency of the Chen-Xing Empire, the smallest currency was copper coins. 50 copper coins were worth a string, 5 strings of copper coins were worth one silver coin, and 5 silver coins were worth one tael of gold. As for gold, it was priceless. For example, the silver ingot that Wu Chen had just thrown down was equivalent to one tael of gold. An ordinary family of three in Chen-Xing would only have two silver stripes at most for a year. It was rare to see a reward of two silver stripes. The smile on the crew member's face widened as he received the silver ingot.
Even though Wu Chen didn't have much money in his pocket, he still decided to spend extravagantly to ensure that he wouldn't be left behind in his cultivation.
Following behind the crew members, Wu Chen and his companion crossed the deck and arrived at the other end of the ship. When they arrived at the other end of the ship, Wu Chen realized that there was another cabin at the back of the ship.
While walking on the deck, Wu Chen had roughly observed the layout of the ship. The entire passenger ship was 30 to 40 meters long. The 10-meter-long cabin at the bow only occupied one-third of the entire passenger ship. The remaining two-thirds were the deck and the VIP cabins. Although a passenger ship of this scale could not be compared to a ship, it was more than enough to sail on inland rivers.
The VIP cabins were divided into three levels, with each level having four cabins. Every two cabins formed a group, and the cabin doors opened to both sides of the ship. As he climbed up the spiral staircase outside the cabin, Wu Chen could sense the breathing sounds coming from these cabins. Clearly, these cabins already had owners. Only the rightmost cabin on the third floor was still empty. It seemed that this was the last VIP cabin the crew member had mentioned.
"Young Master, please." Wu Chen unlocked the door of the cabin and a spacious cabin appeared in front of him. Looking at the cabin in front of him, Wu Chen felt that the five-patterned silver flower was worth it.
"Young Master, you are your cabin. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can point it out. I'll arrange for someone to decorate it.”The entire cabin was facing south, but due to the size of the ship, the cabin was only about 20 square meters. However, after careful arrangement by the owner of the ship, it made people feel a sense of oppression.
"This is very good. There's nothing that needs to be changed.”
"Then please have a good rest, young master. If young master needs anything, you just need to press this button by the window and someone will come. I hope young master will be satisfied with your stay.”The crew member was quite attentive to this kind of big customer who rewarded him with a two-striped silver. Not only did he point out the location of the buckle, but he also personally demonstrated it for Wu Chen.
"Got it. You can go down first. I'll look for you if I need anything.”Wu Chen couldn't help but shake his head at the crew's solicitous attitude. It seemed that money was still the hardest thing in this world.
"I'll go down now." Hearing Wu Chen's words, the crew immediately left the cabin.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly recalling something, Wu Chen called back the crew members who were about to leave.
Hearing Wu Chen call out to him, the eyes of the crew member who was about to leave lit up. He immediately turned around and looked respectfully at Wu Chen.
"How long will it take to reach Cangzhou from here?”
"Young Master, if there are no accidents, we can arrive at Cang Prefecture's Kong Yun Pier the day after tomorrow.”The crew naturally understood the situation of this waterway as they traveled this route all year round.
"The morning after tomorrow? This road is really not short." Hearing the crew member's reply, Wu Chen could not help but be stunned. However, thinking about the situation between Upper Liang and Cangzhou, it was reasonable for him to take a long time.
After rewarding the crew member with a silver grain, Wu Chen dismissed him. After carefully looking around the cabin, Wu Chen returned to the living room and put his luggage away.
The crew member did not lie to Wu Chen. Not long after Wu Chen sat down, the passenger ship slowly started moving and soon left the dock.
Looking out the window at the dock that was gradually disappearing into the distance, Wu Chen did not want to waste any more time. He immediately returned to his bed and began cultivating.
