Chapter 1 Sea Cliff City Travelers
Haiyacheng is a harbor city in the southeast of Zhongzhou.
Similar to all the developed towns in the Jiuzhou Cultivation World, the development of Haiya City cannot be separated from the help of a superior geographical location.
The existence of natural deep-water ports and the development of maritime transportation routes have brought about the rise of trade, allowing the commodities of Zhongzhou mainland to cross the sea and oceans to be sold to the other eight continents through Haiyacheng Port.
Although the cultivators in the Jiuzhou Cultivation World have the ability to understand the sky and the earth, even those who are cultivators cannot waste their spiritual energy in vain and do secular business such as trade and circulation. After a long period of development, Haiyacheng's traditional trading route has become an indispensable external logistics channel for Zhongzhou. However, in winter, even the prosperous Haiyacheng will inevitably become deserted.
Although the port city has a relatively mild climate and a natural and unfreezing harbor, the entire city is still covered with thick snow during the coldest season of the year. Even the traditional Eastern-style buildings with flying eaves and brackets in the city are temporarily covered by wind and snow. In addition to a few teahouses and wine shops, there are few pedestrians on the streets of Haiyacheng.
But just in the snow and snow, a thin young man was trekking hard on the snowy road.
His name is Yang Lu, and he is a time traveler.
Unlike most time travelers who have no hope of living, Yang Lu has no intention of traveling through time.
He was born in poverty and was able to get admitted to Shuimu University by excellent academic performance. After graduating from Shuimu University, he began to intern in the monetary policy research department of the central bank, making meeting notes for the big names who are in charge of the country's financial lifeline.
It is precisely with this valuable internship experience that he has gained a sense of presence in front of these top financial tycoons.
Through the recommendation letter issued by the central bank, he quickly obtained the offer of the famous private equity fund "low capital". With the help of this opportunity that financial practitioners can encounter but rarely find, he achieved a step forward.
After working for two years under capital, in order to have better development opportunities, he directly switched to another private equity fund, Qianyi Capital, which mainly operates the secondary market, and became a real fund manager.
With his excellent professional knowledge, Yang Lu quickly became an internet celebrity in private equity funds, and his asset management scale soared like a rocket.
Just when Yang Lu was about to show his strength, reach the peak of his life, and marry a rich and beautiful woman, an accident happened!
During an ordinary wild outing, he suddenly encountered an outrageously large super thunderstorm. He fainted for no reason in the midst of the thunder and heavy rain. When he woke up again, he found himself in another world!
Later he realized that this world is called Jiuzhou Cultivation World, which belongs to the immortal world of cultivators!
It is said that cultivators have the ability to go to heaven and earth, and some cultivators with superb magic power can even have thousands of years of life.
Not only that, in the past 500 years, three immortals who ascended to heaven appeared in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, reaching the legendary supreme realm of living with heaven and earth.
When he first heard this news, Yang Lu was extremely excited. After all, no matter how successful the Earthlings were, at best, they were at the level of a billionaire. How could they be compared with this kind of cultivator who lived and lived in a good life?
But soon, the cruel reality poured him a basin of cold water.
Unlike the time traveler in online novels, Yang Lu did not get any golden fingers when he traveled through time, and seemed to have just taken over a body of self living in a parallel universe of cultivation.
A memory of "Haiyacheng Yanglu" appeared out of thin air in his mind. This "Haiyacheng Yanglu" and "Earth Yanglu" looked almost exactly the same, but they were a little younger, just like he had spent two lives in two worlds at the same time.
If it weren't for the earth's memory being too clear, he even thought that earth's life was just his dream.
Compared with the life of "Earth Yang Road" that opens low and goes high, the life of "Haiyacheng Yang Road" that opens high and goes low.
"Haiyacheng Yanglu" was born in a wealthy family in Haiyacheng. Both parents were employees of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. At the age of 12, his parents were attacked by monsters during an overseas voyage. "Haiyacheng Yanglu" who lost his parents relied on their relationship before his parents found a relatively barely job in a tavern in Haiyacheng.
But not long ago, "Haiyacheng Yanglu" rescued an unlucky person who offended the cultivator out of sympathy. He was fired by the tavern owner on the grounds of "memorizing about other people's business", completely losing his source of income.
It is a great luck that such an unemployed vagrant has not been starved to death!
Speaking of which, Yang Lu really wants to thank this world of cultivation.
In addition to daily practice, this cultivator in this world of cultivation also has an important activity - cultivating merits!
By doing good deeds such as giving alms and food, practitioners can obtain the merits of heaven and speed up their own cultivation. Therefore, there are few cases of starvation in the cultivation world. "Haiyacheng Yanglu" found a shelter opened by practitioners, which avoids the tragedy of frozen bones on the road.
However, cultivators only open shelters to make merits for themselves, rather than letting homeless people enjoy their lives. Therefore, you can imagine what level of food they provide to unemployed vagrants!
"Haiyacheng Yanglu" of course wanted to change his destiny, so he also tried to go out and find a job again.
However, during a snowy trip, due to cold and hunger, "Haiyacheng Yanglu" fainted. After he woke up again, "Earth Yanglu" took over the thin young man in Haiyacheng.
Unlike "Haiyacheng Yanglu" who can endure hunger and cold life, Yanglu, who was born on earth, could not stand it for a minute if he could eat pig food in a homeless shelter.
After realizing his unfavorable situation, Yang Lu on Earth quickly calmed down and began to sort out the memories of "Yang Lu in Haiyacheng".
By sorting out the memories of the original owner of the body, Yang Lu finally found an opportunity to change his destiny.
This time he went out bravely in the wind and snow, and it was for this matter!
After trekking in the snow for more than half an hour, Yang Lu's health was a little overwhelmed. After all, before he went out this time, he didn't even eat inferior expired food in the shelter, and his physical condition was very unsatisfactory.
Fortunately, he is not far from his destination.
After walking around a street and alley again, a brightly lit building appeared in front of him.
Unlike most houses with closed doors in Haiya City, which seem extremely depressed, this oriental loft-style building is already crowded. The spacious hall is filled with a large number of wooden tables and chairs, each of which is surrounded by customers. There is even a constant temperature immortal array inside the building, which isolates the inside and outside of the house into two completely different worlds of warmth and coldness.
This building is the tavern where "Haiyacheng Yanglu" once worked in, and it is also the private property of the Pan family, the richest man in Zhongzhou.
This Pan family is not an ordinary merchant family. It is said that 500 years ago, the old shopkeeper of the Pan family had received personal pickup points from Lu Yang, the first president of the [Lingshi Reserve Bank], and had countless profit-making monopoly industries.
This shop, called the tavern, is said to have originated from the wonderful ideas of President Lu Yang.
It is precisely because of the connection with legendary cultivators that the social trend of spending time in the tavern world, from the Nascent Soul cultivators to ordinary mortal peddlers and pawns, has become popular in the world of spending their leisure time in a tavern.
After looking into the tavern, he found that the person who was waiting for had not arrived yet, Yang Lu stomped his feet to dispel some of the chills. Then he found a corner of leeing and curled up.
