Zhang Tian put down the book, his gaze falling on Wu Tianzhen beside him.
"Let's go, there's nothing else to see here. We'll head to Cangxi tomorrow. You guys go back and prepare yourselves."
Zhang Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tianzhen was dumbfounded.
"What, Young Master Zhang, you said we're going to Cangxi tomorrow?"
Wu Tianzhen was taken aback. Good heavens, this was completely unexpected. He had thought Zhang Tian would wait a few more days, giving him time to prepare things.
Now, the man was leaving tomorrow.
"I understand, Young Master Zhang. I'll go prepare right away."
Wu Tianzhen said, grabbing Fatty and rushing out.
"Excuse us."
Wu Tianzhen said, already leaving the library.
Zhang Tian calmly returned the books he had just read to the shelf.
Only then did he leave Beili University.
Based on those books, Zhang Tian had a rough understanding of the language in Cangxi and had also gained a basic grasp of the local culture.
He walked leisurely.
Zhang Tian looked at the fallen, yellowing leaves on the streets of Beili, imagining the winters in Cangxi.
It was a pity. If they had gone in the summer, they might have seen some beautiful scenery.
Inside the courtyard, Fatty and the others were moving things into the yard.
When Zhang Tian returned, Fatty excitedly shouted.
"Boss, I heard Cangxi is very cold. We've prepared everything here."
Fatty shouted. Zhang Tian looked at the items on the ground.
Besides thick cotton clothes, there were also coal stoves, sleeping bags, tents, and even a string of food, water, and more.
Zhang Tian even saw many items for children.
Zhang Tian's mouth twitched. Good heavens, this Fatty must have brought everything from Beili.
"Boss, quickly put it into the virtual space."
Fatty chuckled.
Zhang Tian waved his hand and sent the items they had prepared into the space.
"Have you all learned the language?"
Zhang Tian asked.
Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and the other two nodded.
If they could understand cultivation techniques, learning a language was naturally not difficult.
Zhang Tian nodded, then looked at Zhang Qilin beside him.
To Zhang Tian's surprise, Zhang Qilin had also learned some of the language.
However, there was no harm in him learning it, so Zhang Tian didn't say much.
"Alright, since everyone is ready, we'll depart tomorrow. However, the train journey might take a while, so be mentally prepared."
Zhang Tian said softly.
Zhang Tian wouldn't drive to Cangxi.
After all, there was no Route 318 back then.
If they drove, who knew how many obstacles they would encounter.
In most parts of Xia Guo now, there weren't even roads. Unless they flew.
But that wasn't realistic either. Could a plane fly over the mountains?
"What? We have to take a train for several days again?"
Fatty looked depressed. However, after grumbling, he didn't say anything more. Fatty was already used to taking trains.
"If the trains here, and the carriages were from Europe, we might reach it quickly. But steam trains are indeed a bit troublesome."
Shirley Yang said from the side.
"It will take about two or three days, and we'll have to change trains. Everyone, pay attention."
After speaking, Zhang Tian walked towards his room.
Fatty rubbed his head and quickly ran towards the courtyard.
"Fatty, what are you doing?"
Hu Bayi asked involuntarily as he watched Fatty rush around frantically.
"Buying train tickets!"
Fatty shouted, and he was already out of sight.
Soon, the next day.
Fatty bought several train tickets.
According to the station attendant, Fatty bought tickets for three different trains.
This meant they would have to change trains three times.
Looking at the thick stack of tickets in Fatty's hand, Zhang Tian felt a little depressed.
These things... it seemed they needed to speed up construction.
"Let's go. I assume they've also finished their preparations."
Zhang Tian said, getting up and walking outside.
"They? Are there other people?"
Fatty looked at Zhang Tian curiously.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"Wu Tianzhen and the others might be coming with us."
Zhang Tian said softly.
Fatty's eyes lit up.
"Holy crap, does that mean Fatty will get to see Brother Banyue again? We can drink and feast on the train again with Brother Banyue."
"Boss, you truly understand Fatty's heart."
Fatty's eyes narrowed into slits.
Zhang Tian covered his forehead. He knew better than to let Fatty go. It seemed like the train journey wouldn't be boring.
"Knock knock."
The door was knocked. Fatty rushed over like lightning.
"The sky is vast and boundless!"
Fatty shouted from inside the door.
"The wind blows over the grasslands and reveals the little sheep!"
A voice came from outside the door.
Fatty then pulled the door open with a "whoosh."
"Brother Banyue!"
"Brother Kaixuan!"
"Long time no see!"
The two hugged each other, looking like old friends who had been separated for a long time.
Zhang Tian was stunned. Were these two that close?
Wu Tianzhen also rubbed his nose, looking a bit awkward.
Zhang Tian, along with Hu Bayi, Zhang Qilin, and the others, went to Wu Tianzhen's side.
"Are you ready?"
Zhang Tian asked softly.
"We're all set."
Wu Tianzhen said, showing off the large backpack behind him.
Zhang Tian glanced at the backpack.
"Give that to me, I'll carry it for you."
As he said this, Wu Tianzhen looked at him with some doubt, but recalling Zhang Tian's previous abilities, he nodded and took off the backpack.
With a wave of Zhang Tian's hand, the backpack was sent into the space.
Wu Tianzhen inwardly exclaimed how convenient it was.
After a brief moment of awkwardness, everyone headed towards the train station.
Since there were very few people buying tickets for long-distance trains, Wu Tianzhen bought several tickets on the spot.
After waiting for over an hour, the train arrived.
Zhang Tian and his group slowly boarded the train.
Fatty had bought sleeper berths, the kind where you could sleep.
Wu Tianzhen, naturally, did not share a compartment with Zhang Tian.
Gradually, the train started.
With a whistle of steam, the train slowly began to move.
In the evening, Wang Banyue arrived in Zhang Tian's carriage.
The two fatties actually started drinking and feasting, which truly amazed Zhang Tian.
"Brother Banyue, do you believe Fatty can finish this entire bottle in one gulp?"
Fatty said boastfully from the side.
"Little sprout, big sprout, Brother Kaixuan, what kind of sprout are you?"
Wang Banyue said with a smile.
"Brother Banyue, if you say it like that, Fatty will have to retort with a couple of lines."
Fatty grumbled from the side.
Zhang Tian closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
The scene cut.
Several days later.
After changing trains twice in the middle, Zhang Tian finally arrived in Cangxi.
Outside the train station in Cangxi, Zhang Tian and the others looked at the scene before them and couldn't help but sigh.
Cangxi's overall layout was not that backward. There were even some unique architectural arrangements, making it look like they had arrived in another country.
"Boss, there are quite a few beautiful women in Cangxi too."
Fatty scanned the crowds coming and going at the train station, his eyes wandering.
"Brother Kaixuan, that beauty over there looks great. Her legs are really long."
Wang Banyue said from the side, pointing and commenting.
"Where do we go now?"
Wu Tianzhen asked softly from the side.
"Let's head to the snow mountain first. No, it's getting a bit late now. Let's rent a place first."
After several days on the train, it was already four or five in the afternoon when they got off.
Going to the snow mountain now was clearly too late. It would be better to go tomorrow.
Besides, if they went to a guesthouse, they might be able to inquire about directions.
