Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 408: Killing is Easy, But Karma Sticks

"We're almost at Great Xing territory."

Elder Qingquan stood up and stretched.

With a flick of his sleeve, the wooden boat beneath him suddenly dipped, breaking through the last layer of clouds and diving toward a remote official road below.

When it was still over ten zhang from the ground, the boat rapidly shrank. The two of them landed lightly in an uninhabited grove of trees, and the boat transformed into a streak of purple light that flew back into the elder's sleeve.

Setting foot on solid ground, Su Ming smelled the thick scent of earth and wild grass.

Elder Qingquan patted the dust off his gray cloth robe and glanced around.

"There's a post town ahead. Go get us a carriage. A normal one—don't bring any draft animals with spiritual beast bloodlines; that's too conspicuous. And remember, the mortal world isn't like the sect. Killing is easy, but cleaning up the mess is hard. If you get tangled in karma, you'll suffer for it during your tribulation." the elder instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Su Ming acknowledged and quickly walked out of the grove, following the official road toward the nearby post town.

The post town was small, and because it was close to the border between Great Xing and the Northern Barbarians, it looked rather rundown and desolate. The people passing through were mostly hurried merchants and jianghu warriors carrying swords.Su Ming walked into the town's only carriage dealership.

He pulled a silver ingot—the kind used in the mortal world—from his storage pouch. He'd had Wang Defa from the Repair Hall exchange it at the External Affairs Hall before leaving the sect.

Fifty taels of silver slammed onto the dealership owner's table.

"A sturdy two-horse carriage and two Yunnan horses with good endurance." Su Ming deliberately lowered his voice, putting on the air of an experienced jianghu traveler.

The owner's eyes went wide at the sight of the silver. Nodding and bowing repeatedly, he soon brought out a black-lacquered carriage that looked a few years old.

Though the carriage was old, the axles and body were made of high-quality ironwood, so it was indeed sturdy.
