Editor's Note: Sorry, guys. Forgot to post it on Monday. Anyway, if you're not reading this on J Fantasy Books live, this is stolen. Please read it there.

Meanwhile, at the west of Endless Continent, a mountain that was among a vast hundred thousand mountains had its peak penetrated through the clouds. On the summit sat an old man who was sitting cross-legged.

This old man was wearing green clothing. If Su Yu were there, his face would definitely turn pale in fright. This was because this old man in green clothing looked identical to the old beggar he had met.

Both of his eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady. Though everything looked extremely normal, under careful observation, one could clearly see that at this moment, the air surrounding the old man was actually distorting at an extremely slow pace. In the next second, a crack suddenly appeared in the air near him, and a figure stepped out from within it.

It was that old beggar!

After he had come out, the eyes of the old man in green clothing abruptly opened.

Bzzz!

A stream of golden light suddenly emerged from within the eyes of the old man in green clothing'. An extremely difficult to describe charm began to emanate from the body of the old man in green clothing.

Following that, the old man in green clothing and the old beggar looked at each other with a smile. In the next second, the old beggar immediately turned into a stream of light and entered into the body of the old man in green clothing.

Boom!

After the old beggar had turned into a stream of light and entered the body of the old man in green clothing, a terrifying aura was emitted from the body, and at this moment, the air around the body experienced what seemed to be a crumbling phenomenon!

The old man in green clothing stood up with both hands behind his back and stared at the horizon of the endless, vast mountains.

"The appearance of two moons and the alignment of nine stars. This kind of phenomenon had never appeared in the Endless Continent. Also, when my doppelganger toured around the continent, unexpectedly, he had found someone who had the limitless sea of qi. The last time when a person with the limitless sea of qi had appeared was a thousand years ago. When master was approaching his end, he said that if the person with the limitless sea of qi has once again appeared in the Endless Continent, it would mean that the chaos from a thousand years ago would soon descend. Currently, that young man and I are linked, so would this be a fortune or a disaster to me?" The old man in green clothing continued to stare at the endless hundred thousand of mountains. His gaze began to turn more profound.

"Those few old fellows have yet to make any movement……"

Su Yu did not feel surprised regarding the old beggar's departure.

This was because he knew that with how mysterious the old beggar was, he would sooner or later leave. However, what made him grateful to the old beggar was that, in the end, the old beggar had guided him on the path of cultivation. He also left some of his understanding about cultivation to him. With that, he would be able to take fewer detours during his future cultivation.

"Your grace, if there's a day, I, Su Yu, will definitely return it a hundred times!" Deep down, Su Yu secretly made up his mind.

The wind stopped, and so did the rain. The old beggar had already left, so he naturally should depart by himself. However, seeing that the sky was already dark and after a little pondering, he decided to stay for a night at the ruined temple.

The next morning, Su Ku exited the ruined temple and directly journeyed on the official road.

As he didn't know where he was, he could only go along the official road and slowly walk forward.

Approximately after half a day's journey, a city moat finally appeared within Su Yu's field of vision.

Seeing that, a smile appeared on Su Yu's face.

He had unknowingly come to this world for nearly half a month, and he finally arrived at a place with even more people.

After walking nearer to the city moat, Su Yu at that moment could feel an unusual grandeur from the huge city. Hanging above the city gate were 3 big words "Qing Yang City" in beautiful calligraphy.

There seemed to be an endless stream of people entering and exiting the city. Though there were soldiers guarding the entrance of the city, they did not do a one by one inspection on everyone. Hence, just like this, Su Yu very easily entered Qing Yang City.

When Su Yu first stepped foot into Qing Yang City, he could already feel how bustling it was. Qing Yang City's main road was very wide, no less than 50 to 60 meters. On the road, people were hurrying to and fro, along with an incessant stream of horses and carriages.

Along the road, there were shops, casinos, restaurants, taverns, brothels, entertainment halls, and others that were competing with one other. Also, there were many people constantly going in and out, very bustling.

Seeing the scene before him, Su Yu was rather shocked deep down. The arrangement of the scene before him was quite similar to the past in his previous world. The current Su Yu felt like he had time traveled into his previous country's past.

"rumble……"

At this time, Su Yu's stomach began issuing out a series of sounds.

Su Yu gave a bitter smile while rubbing his stomach. Ever since yesterday, after leaving the Little Leaf Village till now, he had not eaten any food. The current him was only an ordinary person, so in the end, he had to rely on both refined and coa.r.s.e grain and food crops to sustain his life.

However, at this time, Su Yu found a very embarra.s.sing question.

That was, he didn't have any money on him.

The currency that was being used in this world was similar to that of the past of his country in his previous world. Gold, silver, and copper coins were used as currency.

That time at the Little Leaf Village, due to the situation being urgent and Ji Da Chun and his family being poor, hence, he naturally wouldn't have any money on him.

Looking at the stall selling freshly steamed stuffed buns where the fragrance of the meat overflowed to all four directions, Su Yu once again rubbed his stomach then shook his head and gave a bitter smile. A penny was really able to beat a good person!

Currently, what was of utmost priority was to quickly make some money to spend, or else before he could realize his grand prospect, he would have starved to death.

So, how to make some money?

Steal, rob, kidnap, swindle?

Su Yu shook his head. When he was in his previous world, he wasn't someone that was a model of good moral conduct, but he was still someone from the 21st century with 3 good qualities. Hence, he would naturally not do those kind of things.

Just when Su Yu was at his wits' end, he suddenly spotted a small stall which was set up by a middle-aged scholar at a corner of the street. There were some calligraphy and painting on display, so it looked like he was going to sell them.

That's it!

Seeing the scene before him, Su Yu instantly got an idea.

Before he transmigrated, he had been an archeology professional. Hence, he was extremely familiar with some of the calligraphy paintings from his country's past. He had deep attainment in calligraphy and painting. It went without saying that regarding whatever word he wrote or painting he painted, before he transmigrated, he had once received an award that was at the national level!

Hence, when he saw the middle-aged scholar selling calligraphy and painting, an idea sparked out.

About ten breaths of time, Su Yu then walked up to the middle-aged scholar's stall.

Looking at the stall with some of the calligraphy and painting on display, Su Yu gave a light laugh.

In all fairness, those calligraphy paintings put on display by the middle-aged scholar weren't very pleasing to the eyes. Selling them as merchandise would nearly be an impossible reality. It was also due to this that Su Yu was able to see the middle-aged scholar from afar. With these kinds of quality, who would be willing to buy his calligraphy paintings?

If Su Yu did not guess wrongly, from how the middle-aged scholar was dressed, these calligraphy paintings should have been written and drawn by himself. It was just that obviously, the quality was somewhat lacking.

At the moment when the middle-aged scholar saw Su Yu appear before his stall, happiness emerged on his face. He hurriedly asked, "Customer, do you want to buy my calligraphy paintings?"

Su Yu responded with a smiled while shaking his head, "No."

The middle-aged scholar disappointedly asked, "Since you are not here to buy my calligraphy painting, why have you come before my stall?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Though I'm not here to buy your calligraphy paintings, I'm here to help you sell them."

"Help me sell my calligraphy paintings?" The middle-aged scholar asked, feeling unconvinced.

"Do you have paper?" Su Yu asked.

"Got," The middle-aged man nodded his head.

"Do you have brush and ink?" Su Yu continued to ask.

"Got." Though the middle-aged scholar didn't know what Su Yu was going to do, seeing Su Yu look like he had complete confidence in himself, the middle-aged scholar honestly replied.

"That's good." Su Yu smiled with satisfaction. He then continued, "Boss, I have to tell you a fact, but don't a.s.sume I'm looking down on you. With just the quality of your calligraphy paintings, don't say in a day, even in a year, you wouldn't be able to sell them. So……"

"Why would you look down on people! My calligraphy paintings were drawn stroke by stroke by me. What drawn out, why would it not sell? Are you intentionally stirring trouble for me?" the middle-aged scholar somewhat indignantly said.

Alright, Su Yu felt very helpless. Just now he said that he had no intention of looking down on the middle-aged scholar, but the middle-aged scholar opened his mouth and said that he was looking down on him!

Su Yu bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Very well. I will give you a calligraphy painting now. If it is not sold before an incense stick burns out, I will admit that those words from before were my mistake, and I'll be willing to kneel down and apologize!"

"Fine! This is what you said. I'll give you brush, ink, and paper. If you are able to draw a calligraphy painting, but not able to sell it within an incense stick of time, you don't have to kneel and apologize, but you have to write an apology letter to me!" The middle-aged scholar was now flushed red.

Looking at him, Su Yu secretly chuckled. Though the scholar was somewhat obstinate, weren't obstinate people cute?

Without further nonsense, Su Yu straightaway walked to the scholar's side. He flipped open the paper with familiarity, took the brush, then began to concentrate on drawing.

There was only pure black ink and no other pigments; hence, Su Yu decided to draw a wash drawing, then add a poem.

What to draw?

Su Yu slightly hesitated, but very quickly, a face which he had always been thinking of day and night appeared in his mind.

He began to paint.

In an incense stick of time, a picture appeared on the originally snow white paper.

In the picture was a lake with a small boat on it. Beside the lake were a willow and a pavilion.

Within the pavilion was a beautiful figure of a lady, with only one side of her face visible. Her hair reached her waist, and she was wearing a long dress.

In the painting, that lady was using the pavilion's railing to support herself as she gazed at the small boat. On the small boat stood a man. Like this, the two people quietly gazed at each other.

After finis.h.i.+ng painting, Su Yu felt that the painting hadn't fully expressed itself, hence he wrote a poem below the picture.

"Snapping flower, regrets for the flower. Watching the blooming flowers while drinking wine. The start when the person left. Afraid to yearn, stop yearning. When yearning, but no words. The eyebrows leak a bit of expression."

[Chinese: "折花枝，恨花枝，準擬花開人共卮，開時人去時。怕相思，已相思，輪到相思沒處辭，眉間露一絲。"]

Shock!

At this moment, the middle-aged scholar, who was standing beside Su Yu, already had a shocked expression. He wanted to say something, but at this time, he suddenly found that he was shocked to the point that no words could come out.

Seeing the middle-aged scholar's reaction, Su Yu immediately chuckled, "Boss, please hang this calligraphy painting up. If within 10 minutes, n.o.body is willing to buy this calligraphy painting, I will surely kneel to you and apologize."

Confidence!

This was Su Yu's confidence!
