Chapter 458: 457, Xiayou Valley

The village chief smiled and shook his head, "You must go to a big city to buy maps, and each country only has its own maps."

Luo Shu stood up and bowed to the village chief, "Thank you, Village Chief!" No matter what, she now had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Don’t mention it!" The village chief replied with a smile, shaking his head as he continued to sort the herbs in his hands.

"Village Chief! May I ask, what’s the common currency around here?" Luo Shu asked. She didn’t have her Divine Sense, and was unable to access her space, but if she had to go to the big city, she would need money.

"Copper Coins, silver, gold, and there’s also Spirit Stones, but those are used by Cultivators, which we mortals can’t come into contact with," the village chief explained. The world was complex, with Cultivators present in each country to some extent, and he had heard that there were sects as well. But those Cultivators and sects were beyond the reach of mortals like them.

The reason he knew about these matters was because when he was young, he often went to the city to sell herbs. He learned from the discussions of others and had also witnessed the strength of Cultivators firsthand.

Once, when he was selling herbs and on his way home, he heard a rumbling in the sky and thought it was about to rain. When he looked up, he saw two Cultivators fighting in the sky. He was so frightened that he quickly found a place to hide, not daring to make a sound. After that experience, he rarely left the village.

"Thank you, Village Chief! I’ll take my leave now." Luo Shu bowed to the village chief again and said to Xia Mu sitting beside her, "Xia Mu, let’s go back." It turns out this world had Cultivators too. She needed to quickly recover her cultivation level. Only then could she use the communication talisman to contact Hanmo and find out if he was in this world.

After leaving the village chief’s house, Luo Shu returned to Xia Mu’s house.

"Sister, you really aren’t from this world, are you?" Xia Mu looked at Luo Shu with disbelief.

Luo Shu nodded with a smile, "Yes! I lied to you before, I’m sorry!" What she needed to do now was find a way to recover her cultivation level and make money.

"It’s okay, Sister must have had her reasons. But why do you look just like me?" Xia Mu looked at Luo Shu with amazement. She truly couldn’t imagine that Luo Shu was from another planet. No wonder she had asked such strange questions.

"I’d really like to know the answer to that question myself," Luo Shu said with a smile.

"You must be hungry, Sister. Drink this bowl of porridge," Xia Mu picked up the bowl of porridge from the small wooden table, "It’s a bit cold, I’ll go heat it up for you."

"No need, I’ll just drink it like this," Luo Shu said with a smile, taking the bowl from Xia Mu’s hands and gulping it down. Now that she had hope in her heart, she had the motivation to keep living.

"Sister, you should rest in bed for a while, I’ll go catch some fish in the stream for you," Xia Mu said with a smile as she took the empty bowl. Their Xiaxia Village didn’t have much, but the stream was full of fish.

"Okay!" Luo Shu nodded, smiling. She wanted to try cultivating a bit to see if she could recover some of her strengths.

After Xia Mu had left, Luo Shu closed her eyes and began cultivating her Cultivation Technique.

With not a trace of Spiritual Power inside her body, she started the second cycle, then the third, until Xia Mu came back. Luo Shu still hadn’t felt even a trace of Spiritual Power emerging within her. However, she wasn’t discouraged; no progress now didn’t mean there wouldn’t be any in the future. As long as she kept cultivating, she was certain that one day she would regenerate Spiritual Power.

"Sister, see if you like the taste of this fish?" Xia Mu picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Luo Shu’s bowl. She had always lived alone, and now that she had someone to keep her company, she suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

Luo Shu nodded with a smile, picked up the fish from her bowl, and put it into her mouth. The fish was fresh and tender, delicious. "It’s very tasty!"

"This is the fish from our village stream, everyone here likes it. Sister, you eat up, I’ll catch more for you tomorrow." Xia Mu picked up another large piece of fish and put it in Luo Shu’s bowl.

"I’ll join you tomorrow. Xia Mu, do you know where the Village Chief picks his herbs?" Luo Shu inquired. She wanted to gather some herbs and sell them in a nearby town.

"They’re from the Xiayou Valley. There are lots of herbs there, but the people from our village don’t dare to venture too far inside. It’s said that deeper in there are venomous snakes and fierce beasts, it’s frightening!" Xia Mu shared. She had been to the Xiayou Valley a few times herself. Not only were there many herbs, but also plenty of wild fruit trees. The villagers of Xiaxia Village had relied on these resources for generations.

After a night of cultivation, Luo Shu had made no progress. However, she was not discouraged because she had confidence in herself.

Leaving the house, she saw Xia Mu busy in the kitchen.

With a slight smile, Luo Shu walked towards the kitchen.

"Sister, you’re up," Xia Mu greeted Luo Shu with a smile as she entered.

"What are you making? It smells great!" Luo Shu asked with a smile.

"I’m making pancakes. Xiayou Valley is quite far, so we won’t return until evening," Xia Mu explained with a smile. The villagers would go to Xiayou Valley every day early in the morning and wouldn’t come back until night.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Luo Shu looked around, noticing that other than a small sack of flour and a few sweet potatoes in the corner of the kitchen, there seemed to be no other food. It was a pity that she couldn’t open her space, otherwise she could take out something to eat.

"All done," Xia Mu replied with a smile as she stood up and walked to the clay stove, lifting the lid and releasing an even more rich aroma.

Seeing the golden-brown pancakes, one couldn’t help but feel an increased appetite.

"Sister, breakfast is ready," Xia Mu opened another pot, which contained steaming porridge. However, due to a lack of rice, it was mostly just liquid.

"Great!" Luo Shu replied with a smile, walked over, took two celadon bowls, and handed them to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu took them, served out a bowl of porridge and handed it along with a pancake to Luo Shu.

Although breakfast was simple, they both ate it with satisfaction.

After breakfast, the two of them took their tools and headed toward Xiayou Valley.

Xiayou Valley was far from Xiaxia Village, and it took them a full Shichen to finally see a large canyon.

"Sister, that’s Xiayou Valley over there, let’s hurry on," Xia Mu said excitedly, pointing to the canyon ahead. She used to come to Xiayou Valley alone, but this time she was no longer on her own. She was so happy! She really hoped that Sister could always stay with her at home.
