Chapter 107: Arrival in Heaven Dou City
After settling Ma Hongjun and Oscar in, Shi Lin and Lin Yu returned to the carriage. They found a corner, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating on their own, ignoring the two sleeping men beside them.
Shi An drove the carriage, continuing on the route chosen by Shi Lin.
Before setting off, Shi Lin changed the horses for the carriage, so the journey was very fast today.
A few hours later, whether it was because the effects of the medicine wore off or because the journey was too bumpy, Ma Hongjun and Oscar slowly woke up.
Shi Lin saw that the two people had woken up, so he took out two glasses of juice from his soul tool and handed them to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
"You're awake! Want some juice?" Shi Lin asked the two of them with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." After taking the juice, Ma Hongjun and Oscar took a sip and thanked Shi Lin.
Although both of them were still a little pale, they were much better than before, and judging from their expressions and demeanor, they seemed to have overcome their spiritual hurdle.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar also knew that this was something they had to go through on their path to becoming Soul Masters, something that their teacher should have led them through.
Shi Lin simply let them experience it beforehand, and he also thoughtfully addressed their stress reactions.
Therefore, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were very grateful to Shi Lin.
"Let's not stand on ceremony. Have a good rest. You two don't need to drive for the next couple of days. If you're in the mood, cultivate; if not, just enjoy the scenery," Shi Lin said with a smile, patting their shoulders.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar nodded, then leaned back in the carriage, closed their eyes, and went to rest. After all, they were only six-year-old children and couldn't possibly kill without blinking an eye. They would get used to it in the future.
Shi Lin glanced at the two people's condition but didn't seem to care. Then he looked at Lin Yu and Shi An, who was driving, and they both seemed to be in good condition.
So Shi Lin stopped cultivating and leaned against the carriage to rest.
After all, Shi Lin still had to keep watch that night, and he couldn't be without energy while on duty.
...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Lin and his group finally arrived outside Heaven Dou City.
During the past two weeks, Shi Lin and his group traveled light, wore rather dirty clothes, and were very frugal with their money, so they did not encounter any robbers even while camping in the wild.
Having learned his lesson from the previous robbery, Shi Lin knew he needed to be more cautious when traveling.
Fortunately, the robbers last time were just ordinary people; if they had been Soul Masters, he would be buried alive by now.
It was precisely because of their low-key behavior that they were able to arrive in Heaven Dou City smoothly; otherwise, they would have encountered a lot of trouble.
As the carriage slowly came to a stop, Shi Lin slowly raised his head and saw a huge city where an ordinary giant beast lay prostrate on the ground, with tall city walls, a gleaming plaque, and patrolling guards.
"As expected of the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, it's truly magnificent!" Shi Lin exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide.
After hearing Shi Lin's voice, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Lin Yu, and Shi An also poked their heads out of the carriage, looking at Heaven Dou City in front of them with longing in their eyes.
"Brother Lin, this Heaven Dou City is so much more prosperous than Soto City!" Oscar asked Shi Lin with a blank look in his eyes.
Others also expressed their admiration.
"Haha, this is the place we should be living!" Shi Lin laughed heartily as he looked at the people in the carriage, then drove the carriage into Heaven Dou City.
The others were also reluctant to close the carriage curtains, curiously observing their surroundings.
As the sun was about to set, many people were queuing to enter Heaven Dou City. Shi Lin was not in a hurry and followed the queue into Heaven Dou City little by little.
This is a good opportunity to take a good look at what Heaven Dou City looks like.
They soon arrived at the foot of Heaven Dou City.
"Show your identification badges. Each of you will have to pay one gold soul coin for entry fees," the city gate guard said to Shi Lin, his face expressionless.
Shi Lin took out the nameplate from the Spirit Hall from his pocket and handed it to the guard.
The guard glanced at it, then nodded and held out his hand, gesturing for Shi Lin to take the money.
Shi Lin was not stingy and handed over more than ten gold soul coins to the guard.
"You're sensible, go in." The guard weighed the gold soul coins in his hand, smiled, and waved, signaling Shi Lin to drive into Heaven Dou City.
"Thank you both!" Shi Lin clasped his hands in thanks to the two guards before entering Heaven Dou City.
The interior of Heaven Dou City is even more prosperous than the exterior, making it appear extremely luxurious.
The street was wide enough to accommodate four carriages, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, selling things that Shi Lin and his companions had never seen before.
The children looked around curiously, longing for everything.
Shi Lin drove slowly through the city.
After walking for an hour, they finally stopped in front of a hotel.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's rest today and go shopping together tomorrow morning. Buy whatever you want, I'll pay!" After Shi Lin stopped the carriage, he waved to the people in the carriage and then jumped off.
"Long live Brother Lin!" the children exclaimed excitedly, and then jumped off the carriage one by one.
"Gentlemen, would you like to stay at the inn or have a meal?" A thin waiter trotted out of the inn and came to Shi Lin, speaking warmly.
"Five superior rooms, a table of hot dishes, and quickly," Shi Lin said to the waiter, showing no politeness and displaying his wealth.
Now that they have arrived in Heaven Dou City, Shi Lin no longer needs to pretend. He still has tens of thousands of gold soul coins, enough for the group's expenses.
Moreover, Heaven Dou City is relatively safe, and there are no robbers there.
"Alright, sirs, this way please." The waiter greeted Shi Lin enthusiastically.
Then Shi Lin's carriage was taken away by the driver.
The waiter respectfully led Shi Lin and his group into the restaurant, then found a quiet private room for them to eat.
After traveling all day, Shi Lin and his companions were starving and just waiting for food.
Before long, a steaming hot meal was served. The group had been eating and sleeping outdoors for the past few days, so when they saw the food, they all turned into gluttons, devouring the food quickly.
It's fortunate that this is a private room, otherwise other people would think this group of people are starving ghosts.
