Bab 728: The charm of the blue respite town

Buildings of different designs, housing different occupations were arranged neatly around the town from tea houses, to inns and pavilions, to general stores, to blacksmith shops, to alchemy and herbal shops that sold all manner of ingredients and potions, to martial dojos.

There were also little roadside stalls that sold sweets, simple dishes, and little trinkets that attracted the interest of the young ones, who pulled their parents and used every trick in the book to get them to buy them something from those stalls. The guardians, parents, or relatives would then pretend to agonize over it before they acquiesced but not before exhorting them to practice hard in their cultivation when they get home in exchange or some other activity that the young one would otherwise grumble over.
