The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 808 - 447: Could They Be Long-Lost Sisters?
Throughout the journey, Young Master Zhe respectfully inquired about her background and the purpose of her visit to the Great Snow Mountain. She casually responded, only mentioning that she was dispatched by some Immortal Sect to handle affairs. With the growth of her Divine Skills Cultivation, the invisible aura of authority around her became increasingly intense, particularly evident when dealing with mortals.
Young Master Zhe’s attitude became even more humble, and he casually introduced the rare herb Snow Baby, which was abundant on Atalia Mountain. This is the Snow Ginseng, pure white and plump, resembling a white radish, but those over a thousand years old have hands, feet, and a head, looking like chubby infants, and those over fifteen hundred years can scamper all over the mountain.
This plant only grows in snow mountains above three thousand meters altitude, originally rare, and if it’s of considerable age and can move, the difficulty of harvesting increases tenfold. Incidentally, it is also one of the materials for High-level Elixirs, and the price of a hundred-year-old Snow Ginseng is at least over a thousand Silver Taels each, yet they are priceless.
However, on the soil in God Demon Prison, there are actually two planted, the seeds obtained from Guangcheng Palace, and these two Snow Babies can play hide and seek with Ali when idle.
Young Master Zhe’s home isn’t a mansion, but it is considered grand within the Hulian Tribe, with a large facade and high walls.
Young Master Zhe’s full name is Hulian Zhe. On the way, he had already introduced himself to Ning Xiaoxian and her companion, stating that his family specializes in the acquisition business, purchasing furs, snow tea, and rare herbs, among other specialties of Great Snow Mountain, from hunters and individual sellers, and then shipping them to the mainland for sale. Although this business is risky, it is profitable, allowing Hulian Zhe’s family to live comfortably here. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The building ahead is divided into several parts; the front is the business front, where a clerk would come out to negotiate prices, weigh, and exchange goods for silver when deliveries are made. Soon the mountain will be sealed, meaning the acquisition business will soon halt, and the transport convoy will depart for the mainland, making the business very busy; individual sellers rushing to catch the last chance to sell their goods are endless; behind is Hulian Zhe’s family residence.
In the southern part of Central Earth, anyone dare to build a warehouse and residence together like this would be considered a rustic upstart, getting laughed out loud, let alone front and back together; however, this isn’t Central, so the merchants don’t care so much about living arrangements.
Hulian Zhe’s family relations are very simple, with his mother having passed away early and his aging father dying last year, leaving only a sister behind, excluding the business clerks, there are only three to four servants in the house, living far less luxuriously than the mainland tycoons.
"I didn’t expect it," she was whispering to Changtian, as Hulian Zhe had already invited them into the inner hall. With Tu Jin guarding Ning Xiaoxian, the other demon guards of Hidden Stream stayed in the outer hall.
Upon entering the hall, she saw a graceful young girl standing by the door.
"Huh!" Changtian and Tu Jin were surprised in unison.
Tu Jin looked at this young girl, then turned to look at Ning Xiaoxian, his facial muscles moved, saying, "Are you sure this isn’t your long-lost sister?"
It’s rare for this Ice Face and blockhead to joke. Ning Xiaoxian rolled her eyes at him, while the young girl covered her mouth with a smile, looking more ladylike than her.
Hulian Zhe couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Don’t you think they look alike? This is my younger sister, Hulian Minmin. Miss Ning came into town the day before yesterday, I caught a glimpse of her and was really startled at the time. Now, you know why I invited you all to my house, right?"
Ning Xiaoxian stared wide-eyed at Hulian Minmin, muttering after a while, "Now I understand, I never thought I would find someone so similar to me in the Northwest, truly a twist of fate!"
The two girls under twenty stood at similar heights, their appearances actually having a seventy percent similarity, both having almond-shaped eyes and rosebud lips with slightly upturned corners, a straight nose, standing side by side like a pair of sisters. Apart from the different hairstyles, Ning Xiaoxian’s chin was slightly pointed, while Hulian Minmin’s chin was more rounded; due to years of cultivation and exercise, Ning Xiaoxian’s figure was more voluptuous, but outdoor winter clothing masked it somewhat. In terms of skin, Hulian Minmin had the light honey-colored skin typical of local girls, whereas Ning Xiaoxian possessed the translucent white skin characteristic of cultivation women. Moreover, her eyes had an inner gleam, more lively, while Hulian Minmin had lowered brows and modest eyes, bearing the demeanor of a young lady.
