**Chapter 2496: He is Very Young**
Lan Haichuan left, and Lin Moyu looked at the invitation in his hand.
The invitation was very exquisite, entirely light golden in color, with no text explanation. In the lower right corner of the invitation, there was a pattern, a blue sea, which is the symbol of the Lan family. The pattern emitted a trace of primordial aura, indicating that the pattern was made by grinding primordial materials into powder and then making ink to draw it.
Lin Moyu felt a special primordial aura contained within the pattern.
"This is probably an anti-counterfeiting measure, to prevent others from forging it."
"I just arrived and have no connection with the Lan family, so why invite me to the banquet?"
"Many people entered Linhai City yesterday, and there are quite a few deities in the city now. I am just a low-level deity, not noticeable at all."
Lin Moyu didn't know why the Lan family invited him, but he also knew that he was not the only one invited. However, from Lan Haichuan's words, he could sense that the Lan family had no malice. He had just arrived on the Primordial Continent, so he did not refuse face-to-face.
Going to take a look and listen wouldn't hurt.
Lin Moyu left the courtyard and walked into the streets of Linhai City.
The primordial sun hung high in the sky, looking like a fireball within reach, but it was not hot. Instead, it was considered a sunny day.
"According to Senior Ting Shuizhi, the closer to the center of the Primordial Continent, the stronger the power of the primordial sun, and the higher the temperature."
"I am now in the southernmost part of the Southern Continent, close to the boundary sea, so the temperature here is not high."
"However, the power of the primordial sun is too strong to be used for cultivation at the moment."
Linhai City was bustling, with shops of all kinds lining the streets. The shops sold various items, including materials, elixirs, and delicacies.
These delicacies were not ordinary but related to cultivation, either enhancing cultivation or being particularly delicious, unaffordable for ordinary people.
Lin Moyu noticed that many shops belonged to the Lan family, with unified names. Lan's Materials, Lan's Elixirs. Below the signboards, there were also unique marks of the Lan family, indicating that these shops were Lan family properties. As the lord of a city, it was not surprising that the Lan family owned these businesses. Moreover, the Lan family also managed the market in Linhai City, gaining substantial profits. Just these alone made the Lan family earn a lot.
In the city lord's mansion, the head of the Lan family, Lan Qingzheng, was sitting in the main seat, and Lan Haichuan was reporting, "Patriarch, the invitation has been delivered."
Lan Qingzheng had a few traces of seriousness between his eyebrows, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Lan Haichuan said, "He is a low-level deity, but he is very young."
"How young?" Lan Qingzheng raised his eyebrows; the term young was very broad.
Lan Haichuan thought for a moment, "I can't tell his exact age, but he feels like he shouldn't be over five thousand years old."
Lan Qingzheng believed Lan Haichuan's words and muttered to himself, "A low-level deity under five thousand years old is indeed very young, seemingly a young genius. No wonder he could trigger the lunar primordial yesterday."
"This time, our Lan family has paid a considerable price, hoping to gain something."
Lan Haichuan said, "With the patriarch's leadership, there will be no problem."
Lan Qingzheng accepted the compliment calmly, "Go prepare first. In two days, let me meet this young genius."
Lin Moyu walked through the streets in the south of the city and entered the west.
The layout of Linhai City was clear. The south mostly had shops, inns, and restaurants. The north was the market, with many trading markets, subdivided into different categories. The east was mostly residential areas, where most people in Linhai City lived, including the city lord's mansion.
The west was the most special, with grand buildings like palaces. Some buildings were even grander than the city lord's mansion, and the Lan family, as the city lord, did not dare to manage them, instead tacitly acknowledging their existence. Those who could build palaces here were all forces from the Primordial Continent, each far surpassing the Lan family, incomparable to the Lan family.
Lin Moyu came to the west of the city and immediately felt an unusual aura. The primordial aura here was very strong, with many powerful beings. Lin Moyu walked on the street, observing quietly.
"Elixir Association."
"Master Craftsman Association."
"Fisheries Alliance."
Each building represented a force. Lin Moyu noticed that under each signboard, there were some star-like patterns.
"What do these stars mean?" Lin Moyu muttered to himself.
At this moment, a soft voice came from beside him, "The stars represent their power levels."
Lin Moyu turned to see a little girl, about ten years old, clean and tidy, with big, bright eyes. Her clothes were a bit old, with many patches, but also very clean. After entering Linhai City, Lin Moyu had seen some children. Most of these children were doing okay, starting to cultivate at around ten years old. Some with good talent already had some cultivation.
But this little girl in front of him had no cultivation at all and seemed to have many hidden illnesses.
Seeing that Lin Moyu did not drive her away, the little girl gathered her courage, "Sir, I grew up in Linhai City and know a lot about it. I can explain things to you, and you just need to..."
Lin Moyu showed a slight smile, "Just need what?"
The little girl seemed a bit scared and hesitated before saying, "Just give me some scattered primordial crystals."
Scattered primordial crystals were not valuable, not even enough for a meal in a restaurant. They could only buy a few pancakes on the roadside.
Lin Moyu was a bit curious. Although Linhai City was a world of cultivators, ordinary people could also live here. They could find suitable jobs, even working as servants in cultivators' homes, without starving. This world was harsh, but not that harsh. Cultivators had their rules, allowing mutual killing, destroying sects with a punch, and slaughtering countless people. But they considered themselves noble and rarely attacked ordinary people. In Linhai City, there were naturally rules to restrain those cultivators. Lin Moyu had seen patrol teams in the sky, probably maintaining order for the Lan family. But in such a situation, why had this little girl fallen to such a state? It was a bit strange.
Seeing Lin Moyu not speaking, the little girl seemed a bit scared, "You don't need to give me scattered primordial crystals, just buy me two pancakes. If two is too much, one will do."
As she spoke, the little girl's stomach growled. She seemed a bit shy, covering her stomach with her hands and lowering her head slowly.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Alright."
He took out a piece of cooked fish and handed it to the little girl, "Eat this first, or you won't have the strength later."
The little girl was stunned, showing some fear in her eyes, "This is too precious. I just want pancakes."
Although she said this, the little girl's eyes still showed some longing. There was also some nostalgia in her longing, a very complex expression that Lin Moyu happened to catch.
Lin Moyu asked, "Have you eaten it before?"
The little girl nodded, "I have eaten it before."
Lin Moyu said, "Then eat it. This is nothing to me. Eat well and give me a good introduction."
The little girl then carefully took the fish and started eating it in small bites.
