Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 344: Small Town

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Small Town

"Potato, how much longer do we have to walk?"

Dou Dou began to grow impatient, as the road ahead seemed endless, continuing on indefinitely was truly boring.

"Not far ahead is a small town; we’ll rest there for the night," Shen Siyuan said.

"I’ll go take a look first." Dou Dou’s face lit up upon hearing this.

Then a gust of Yin Wind swept her up into the sky.

Shen Siyuan turned to look at Duoduo, who still wore a confused expression, and said, "Follow and have a look."

"Oh, okay."

It was then that Duoduo realized and took to the air, following Dou Dou.

Even though Xu Shilong knew that Dou Dou and Duoduo could control the wind, seeing this scene still left him shocked and envious.

He then looked at Shen Siyuan as if to say, "And you still claim you’re not an immortal."

"Do you want to do the same?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

"Can... can I?"

A gleam of excitement flashed in Xu Shilong’s eyes.

Although he was still a child, he too dreamed of flying.

"Of course you can."

With a thought from Shen Siyuan, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner appeared in his palm. He formed a finger formula and directly drew Xu Shilong into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, turned it around once, and then released him.

In the blink of an eye, he was no longer his former self.

Xu Shilong looked at himself curiously, then turned to Shen Siyuan, eager to try.

"Go ahead," Shen Siyuan smiled.

Hearing this, Xu Shilong recalled the actions of Duoduo and Dou Dou as they controlled the wind, spun around on the spot, then soared into the sky, heading in the direction the two had taken.

For a moment, only Shen Siyuan was left on the road, but he did not feel lonely.

Instead, he enjoyed the feeling of being one with nature.

He walked leisurely, the sunlight falling on him, the breeze lightly touching his hair tips, and the Wood Qi and Water Element Qi that permeated the wilderness entered his body with each breath, merging with the Earth Element Qi that entered his body from the Yongquan Acupoint.

At this time, aside from the Fire Qi and Gold Qi, the other three Qi in his body were growing stronger over time, forcing Shen Siyuan to use Primordial Magnetism to suppress the Wood, Earth, and Water Qi to prevent imbalance among the Five Elements.

Actually, the Earth Element Qi flowing from the Yongquan Acupoint also mixed with some Gold Qi, but compared to the massive amount of Earth Element Qi, it was negligible. As for the Fire Qi, it was completely absent.

Primarily because the Fire Qi was buried too deep beneath the earth, even using the Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism, it was difficult to draw it up, completely blocked by the Earth Element Qi.

Therefore, for Shen Siyuan to strengthen all Five Elements, he would need to visit Qiongbei again, to the volcano crater he had been to last time, only then would he be able to gather the Fire Qi to balance the Five Elements Qi inside his body.

This would forge the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword, making it more solid and majestic.

On this journey, aside from gathering the Qi of the Five Elements, Shen Siyuan also cultivated the Sun Observation Method.

As he walked under the sun, the sun rose from the east and set in the west, completing a full cycle of reincarnation.

The sun visualized within his Divine Sense gradually also had different afterglows due to the time differences.

Dawn, morning light, blazing sun, slanting sun rays, evening glow, afterglow.

Each type of sunlight carried a different artistic conception, correspondingly reflecting different states of mind.

With but a thought, the sun would rise slowly from the Sea of Consciousness, its light encompassing the entire Sea of Consciousness, stabilizing his mind, unaffected by external disturbances, not swayed by demonic temptations.

However, as it had only been two days, the sun in the Sea of Consciousness was like a candle flame, too nascent and weak, still too scattered and not cohesive, having the form but not the spirit, requiring continued effort.

As the last ray of sunset disappeared on the horizon, Shen Siyuan stepped into a small town.

The town wasn’t big, but it was exceptionally lively with many street vendors selling various fruits, various barbecues...

The originally salty sea wind now carried a fragrant aroma.

As Shen Siyuan entered the town, three little ones appeared out of nowhere, and gathered around him.

"It’s not fun at all, this place is so small," Dou Dou said.

"Have you finished exploring and now you’re already complaining?" Shen Siyuan asked somewhat amusedly.

Indeed, the town was not large; besides the houses on both sides, there were even agricultural fields nearby, clearly showing that this small town was a newly built antique-style town.

However, it was well operated, with a significant amount of foot traffic, mostly tourists from other places.

Shen Siyuan vaguely remembered that there was a particularly beautiful beach nearby, which attracted a lot of tourists, and this town was probably built to support that beach.

"Brother, there’s good food over there," Duoduo suddenly pointed in a direction.

"Oh, how do you know?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.

"Because there are the most people there," Duoduo said proudly.

With a look that said ’I’m smart, come praise me.’

"Thanks, that’s awesome," Shen Siyuan naturally wasn’t stingy with his praise.

Dou Dou, hearing this, got a bit anxious and quickly said, "I knew it too, Sister Duoduo just said it before I could."

"Yes, I know, you’re great too."

"I also know, their grilled fish is really fragrant and tasty, just a bit spicy," Dou Dou said.

After saying this, Dou Dou even made a gesture of sucking saliva.

"Let’s go and try it."

Shen Siyuan said and took the lead walking forward.

It was unclear if it was because this was a new town, but there were very few ghosts around, only a few wandering in the vicinity, not daring to come close, mainly because the place was too lively and ghosts didn’t dare to approach.

If Xu Shilong hadn’t become a Fan Soul, he probably couldn’t even enter the town.

Following the crowd forward, just at that moment, the people ahead suddenly went around.

Shen Siyuan found it strange, initially thinking there was something blocking the way, but when he got closer, it turned out to be an old man begging.

The old man was thin and dry, his skin dark, emitting an unpleasant odor, no wonder everyone avoided him.

However, precisely because of this, a ghost that followed him wasn’t affected by the crowd.

The woman following behind the old man was relatively young and quite beautiful, looking at her clothes, they seemed rather old, it was unclear what her relationship with the old man was.

When Shen Siyuan looked at the old man, both the old man and the ghost behind him also looked towards him.

The old man stretched out his hand, asking Shen Siyuan for money, while the female ghost’s gaze moved to the three little ones following Shen Siyuan, showing a look of surprise.

Shen Siyuan flipped his hand, a coin appeared in his palm, and then he tossed it into the other’s bowl.

"Thank you, thank you, may your business prosper."

The old man’s battered bowl had few coins, now everyone uses mobile payments, and seldom carry cash.

Shen Siyuan glanced at the old man, then turned and continued towards the stall Duoduo had mentioned.

The female ghost wanted to follow, but upon seeing the crowded mass of people, fear arose and she dared not move forward.

She could only watch helplessly as Shen Siyuan disappeared into the crowd.

Of course, along with those three mischievous little ghosts, who freely wove through the crowd.
