Yunze Lake, an unnamed pier.

Xiao Xue and Zhao Chuanyun were wandering aimlessly with a package. These days, he has been walking around in the same outfit as before.

He hadn't seen anyone following him in days.

It seems that the boat gang members have received the news.

This boat gang is miserable enough.

Not only were they crippled by the He Nian Sect, but they were also confiscated by the government because of their reports.

In addition, the chief helmsman of the boat gang, Cao Zheng, died, and the first heir, Cao Ye, died. Most of the other Cao family members were insignificant.

As for Cao Weiman... When the chief helmsman was there before, he was like a duck in water because he was the most liked by the chief helmsman. Now... Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would never have ended well.

The ship's gang was in chaos, and the gang's gang stepped in again, making Lianhu Bay a mess these days.

It seems that his mission of attracting attention has come to an end.

Xiao Xue punted the boat and left the dock and went to an unknown island. He would have to stay on the island for a few months until the storm passed.

Lianhu Bay Pier.

Xue Shaoyang took baby Xue aboard the official ship.

The chaos in Lianhu Bay these days has not passed yet, but it doesn't matter to him anymore. Now unless he shows up in the boat gang wearing the same outfit as before, no one will pay attention to him at all.

He has now changed into casual clothes, and his hairstyle has also changed. No one in Yunze Lake has seen his true face, and now no one can recognize who he is.

It's time to leave this Lianhu Bay.

Next... he will take this big ship to Deadwood City, which is the location of He Nian Sect, the only Huajin sect nearby.

He got a lot of information about energy transformation from his good adopted son Yang Zai. He knew that the He Nian Sect's disciple recruitment conference would be held in three years' time, and he was going to join in the fun.

There is absolutely no chance that he will be selected. There is a high probability that the baby Xue Xue Li will participate in the next session when he grows up.

Not long after he got on the boat, he saw two people coming up behind him. They were the two junior brothers of his good eldest son Yang Zai, but for some reason the traitor was not with them.

Xue Shaoyang secretly thought that it was bad luck, but he did not expect that they would choose to return to the sect today.

If his next itinerary remains unchanged, they may have to travel together.

Xue Shaoyang walked to his cabin at a normal pace and closed the door.

After closing the door, he first fed the baby Xue, then ate two pieces of pastry himself and began to think:

Now with the baby Xue, if something unexpected happens, only the little Xue, who is in the early stages of Anjin, will be left, and he will collapse immediately.

Under normal circumstances, An Jin's late-stage strength would definitely be enough, but these three people...

These three people were so powerful that any one of them could kill Xue Shaoyang. It was too dangerous.

Although the probability of them suddenly attacking Xue Shaoyang is low, they are always afraid of surprises.

How about getting off the ship directly...

No, no, it's a little more conspicuous to just disembark now.

In the end, Xue Shaoyang decided to stay away from the cabin for the next period of time to reduce the probability of encountering people, and then changed ships after waiting for two or three docking stations.

Outside Deadwood City.

Xue Shaoyang sat in a carriage holding baby Xue.

After he got off the ship a year ago, in order to prevent him from meeting those two people again, he decided not to take the ship again but to take the land route and then take a carriage.

It is not easy to travel by water, nor by land.

There are many checkpoints in the middle of the land route, and you may encounter robbers from the village every few hills.

So during this year, he walked for a while and then stopped to rest. He would only start again if he found a reliable team.

It wasn't until half a year ago that he joined this large convoy heading to Deadwood City.

The leader of this carriage team is a master of the middle stage of Anjin, who seems to have good hands and eyes.

Most of the bandits on the road had heard of his name, and they immediately let him go after he reported the correct incision and paid the toll.

Of course, we also encountered several accidents, and several groups of short-sighted thieves targeted the team and wanted to take advantage of it.

However, there was no need for Xue Shaoyang to intervene at all, as this person easily settled everything.

After months of arduous journey, today he finally arrived at Deadwood City without any danger.

Outside the carriage, the groom driving Xue Shaoyang suddenly shouted loudly:

"Brother Xue, Deadwood City is arriving soon. Open the curtain and look outside. You can see the sacred tree in Deadwood City from here!"

The sacred tree is the origin of the name of Deadwood City. It is a very big dead tree.

The groom boasted a lot along the way.

Xue Shaoyang opened the curtains as instructed and looked from a distance.

After just one glance, he was shocked and speechless.

I saw a huge dead tree standing in a large city surrounded by walls. This dead tree was extremely huge, like a white tower soaring into the sky.

What is even more shocking is that outside the city wall, which is more than ten feet (40m) high, you can actually see the roots of the dead wood.

Those roots grow out of the ground, criss-crossing like a crawling dragon.

The groom friend had already introduced it to him in detail.

The tree is about fifty feet (180m) in diameter and about three hundred feet (1000m) high.

It has probably existed for more than a thousand years.

The man explained to him that no one knew how long the dead tree had been there.

People only know that this tree has been standing here before. At that time, the tree also died and became a dead tree.

The current dynasty has been in the national destiny for 310 years, while the previous dynasty existed for more than 500 years before being replaced by the current dynasty.

Three hundred and ten years plus five hundred years, there are more than eight hundred years, plus the time for the tree to grow.

It must have taken hundreds of years for this tree to grow so big, so it must be over a thousand years.

A thousand years of time.

Mortals only have a life span of fifty or sixty years, and seventy years is considered a long life. If one generation is calculated as twenty years, this tree has witnessed the growth of at least fifty generations.

It's really too old.

What's even more amazing is that this tree has not decayed after thousands of years of wind and sun. It is still invulnerable to gold and iron, water and fire. No wonder most residents of Deadwood City regard this dead tree as a sacred object to worship during the New Year. A large number of people come to worship during festivals.

In Xue Shaoyang's opinion, this tree should be a special strange plant.

Since there are strange beasts in this world, it makes sense to have strange plants.

Moreover, this huge dead tree should be the same as the thirty-foot-long blood carp in Yunze Lake. They have broken through the boundaries and far surpassed the existence of ordinary strange plants and beasts.

He had never seen the terrifying thirty-foot blood carp, but he had indeed seen this huge dead tree with his own eyes.

This is so majestic and spectacular.

It seems that the water in this world is deeper than he imagined.

After entering the city, Xue Shaoyang first found a hotel to rest.

Next, he planned to stay in the hotel for a while and spend some time getting to know the local customs.

As for the next plan.

Of course he can continue his profession as a doctor, and of course he can open a martial arts gym.

However, when outsiders open a martial arts gym, they will definitely attract a lot of rejection from the local martial arts gyms. Old man Zhao Sheng told him how difficult it was to open a martial arts gym at that time. If he hadn't been ruthless enough and An Jin's later cultivation level, this martial arts gym would not have been possible. It's really hard to drive.

After thinking about it, he decided that he did not plan to open this martial arts gym.

In the next period of time, stability is the priority. Opening this martial arts gym will be troublesome, so it is not a good choice.

As for opening a medical clinic, although there will be problems, they are more due to the machinations of some colleagues, and he should be able to take them all.

But wait a minute... The money he earns now is enough to live comfortably. The stack of banknotes Cao Zheng gave him alone is enough for him to use for a long time. Let's wait for baby Xue to grow up a little first.

When he is about seven or eight years old and can run and jump, we will see if he should open a medical clinic.

In the next few years, let's take a break first... In addition to practicing and feeding baby Xue every day, he is also going to practice calligraphy and painting, and then read the books and biographies of this world.
