Acai's Sky

Chapter 153: Fragrance Search 12

Ah Cai looked at the weather outside and couldn't help but frown, muttering to herself, "What kind of weather is this? It's just completely gray, as if a huge gray curtain has covered the sky."

She shook her head helplessly and could only treat it as a cloudy day.

She wandered around the inn, looking for the residence of those non-humans.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the innkeeper sneaking out of the inn in a hurry.

Ah Cai was curious. While scratching her chin, she put on the [Invisibility Leaf] and followed the innkeeper quietly like an agile cat.

Following the shopkeeper through the streets and alleys, Ah Cai was almost dizzy.

If she hadn't had a map to refer to and knew clearly that the shopkeeper was just going in circles on purpose, she would have lost him long ago.

Finally arriving at the entrance of Wuchang Alley, the shopkeeper looked around and made sure that no one was following him before he walked into Wuchang Alley with confidence.

Ah Cai couldn't help laughing as she watched the shopkeeper's actions. This guy was really cunning, like a headless fly, walking back and forth here three times.

Ah Cai walked into the dark alley, feeling the eerie breath coming towards her, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Finally, she arrived in front of the innermost courtyard. From the outside, there was nothing special about it, just an ordinary small house.

She took a deep breath, then used her martial arts skills to leap onto the wall.

Her movements were light and nimble, like an agile little monkey, without making a sound.

Then she jumped lightly into the yard. As soon as she landed, she heard a violent cough.

The sound came from inside the house, and it sounded very painful. Ah Cai frowned, and a feeling of worry surged in her heart.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

"Seventh Uncle, why are you here?" a weak voice asked.

Ah Cai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a pale, thin man sitting beside the bed.

He kept coughing, which made people feel sad.

"Why are you coughing so badly? Didn't you take the medicine I found for you?" the shopkeeper asked with concern.

"Ahem, I took it, but the medicine is becoming less and less effective!" the man replied with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, there will be an auction in a few days. I'll go and see if I can get you some high-grade elixirs!" the shopkeeper comforted.

"Cough, cough, cough, Uncle Qi, stop busying yourself. I can hold on!" the man said with difficulty.

"Why are you so stubborn, kid? Now that the people outside have come in, I must find a way to contact them and let them take you out." The shopkeeper said anxiously.

"Ahem, Uncle Seven! It's been so many years, eighteen hundred years, right? Are they finally coming back? Woo woo..."

Ah Cai looked at the two people in the room with suspicion, thinking in disbelief: "More than 1,800 years... are you serious?"

The shopkeeper consoled him, "Don't be too sad, kid. I think they came in this time not just to explore, but perhaps to find someone."

"Ahem, Uncle Seven, please come with me this time!"

"What are you thinking about? I'm half human, half ghost now. How can I survive in the outside world? You'd better stay here. You can come and see me next time you come."

"Ahem, ahem, Uncle Seven, have you informed my mother and the others?"

"Not yet. After all, they have only been here for less than two days. I need to observe the situation for a while."

"Ahem, my mother has been wanting to return to the sect and is almost going crazy! You must tell her this good news and make her happy!"

"You are all human, so it is much easier for you to get out. But for aliens like us, there is nowhere to go except the Ghost Palace."

"Ahem, Uncle Seven, will they still recognize us? After all, nearly two thousand years have passed, and several generations have gone by!"

"Don't worry, I'll go find out. Those people coming in don't speak the same language, so there's plenty of chances for us to meet!"

Ah Cai walked out of Wuchang Lane slowly, her steps were heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart.

She thought silently, wondering if the senior sister of Jiuyou Xuannv Sect could find any useful information for them.

She looked around, her eyes falling on the shops lining the street.

The shops are all decorated with bright red lanterns, which looks festive but gives people the illusion that it is already night time.

Outside some shops, waiters were standing there soliciting customers.

If you look closely, you will find that these waiters are half human, half ghost, which is really creepy.

"More than 1,800 years have passed. Those 100,000 people should have already reproduced countless second and third generations!" Ah Cai was shocked and exclaimed inwardly.

She realized that this strange secret place did not seem to be sealed and time was still passing normally.

However, in the world of immortal cultivation, the concept of time is completely different from that in the mortal world.

Here, nearly two thousand years seem as short as two years.

Ah Cai strolled to the door of a shop and looked up to see the words "Give and take" written on the sign.

She scratched her head and said to herself in confusion, "What kind of shop is this? It looks a bit strange."

Driven by curiosity, Acai couldn't help but step into the store.

However, what surprised her was that the waiter at the door did not greet her as warmly as the waiters in other shops.

Ah Cai couldn't help but frown and muttered to herself.

She looked down at herself, then slapped her head as if suddenly realizing something, and said with a smile, "Hey, I forgot to cancel my invisibility. I was wondering why no one was paying attention to me! Never mind, no one can see me anyway, so I might as well go around invisibly. It feels quite exciting!"

Acai looked at the store curiously and found that the decoration style here was very unique, which was particularly eye-catching compared to the surrounding stores.

She continued walking forward with great interest until she saw a shelf filled with all kinds of exquisite gift boxes and delicate gifts, then she suddenly realized.

"Oh, so this is a gift shop! These gifts are so beautiful!"

Ah Cai said excitedly. She carefully examined the beautifully wrapped gift boxes, and an urge to possess them surged in her heart.

Next to the gift box, there were various exquisite small gifts, which made Acai dazzled.

[Space Jade Slip], [Soul-Nourishing Orb], [Time Hourglass]...

Strange spiritual weapon...

Soul Treasure...

Strange magic weapon...

Rare materials...

A Cai looked at them carefully one by one. There were so many soul treasures. Not bad!

A Cai decided to wait until she removed the hidden code before buying it. She couldn’t remove the hidden code right away to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings!
