The Protagonist Is in the Right Position to Get Along With the Villain
Chapter 60
The shopkeeper coughed softly and took out a book with a dark red cover from under the table. He flipped to a page and the drawings in the book became three-dimensional as if they were alive. Green mountains stood alone in the forest, waterfalls and rosy clouds intersected. It was beautiful beyond words.
"This is the Thousand Cloud Sect of the Green Blaze Country. Of course, the Thousand Cloud Sect is one of the three major sects of the Green Blaze Country. It's not a place where you can do whatever you want."
The shopkeeper flipped to another page. This time, it was a luxurious palace with gold and jade tiles and a red carpet. It was magnificent and majestic. "Tsk tsk, this is the imperial palace of the Green Blaze Country. If you want to hold a dual cultivation ceremony here, you'd better wait until you reach the late stage of Soul Formation."
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Cheng who was full of hope and smiled. "This book only costs 15 low-grade spirit stones. How about it? Do you want one?"
Ye Cheng nodded quickly. He was about to reach out for money when Li Jinzhi stopped him. He looked back and saw that the other party was frowning.
"Shopkeeper, this book of yours is full of places to look but not to use. It's useless even if you buy it. Could it be that it's just a landscape illustration book?"
Li Jinzhi looked at the other party with vigilance. "Could it be that you think that we came from a remote place and want to use this book to pass it off as genuine and sell it to us at a high price?"
"Aiyoyo, I say, Fellow Daoist."
When the shopkeeper heard that, he smiled and flipped a few pages of the book. It was still a very beautiful place. "I'm just giving you a recommendation of the venue. It's up to you whether you can get it or not. Look at your Dao partner, her eyes are full of eagerness. Isn't it just 15 low-grade spirit stones? Buy it and study it well and decide which sect to join."
After saying that, he took out two yellow-covered books. "Here, I also have the details of the dual cultivation ceremony. It includes the auspicious time, ceremony specifications, and dual cultivation techniques.
There's also this 100 Ways to Win the Dao Partner's Favor. I see that you're so cold and I'm scared just by looking at you. I didn't expect you to be so stingy. You're only able to find a Dao partner because of your appearance, right?
You have to put more effort into building relationships.
Come, thirty books and forty low-grade spirit stones. No matter how many mountains and rivers there are, there is still love. Can I buy them? "
Li Jinzhi was shocked by the other party's sales pitch. Before he could react, he saw a hand quickly reach out from beside him. There was a storage bag in the hand.
Then, the shopkeeper and the hand quickly exchanged the items in their hands. Then, the shopkeeper quickly counted the spirit stones and handed the storage bag back.
After everything was done, the two returned their hands to their original positions. Only a few breaths of time had passed.
Li Jinzhi turned around and looked at Ye Cheng expressionlessly. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident. What a wastrel!
But
"Why did you buy this?
Why are you so impatient? "
Li Jinzhi raised his head slightly and looked at her from head to toe with raised eyebrows. "Didn't we agree not to find a Dao companion in the lower realm?
After Immortal Ascension, long-distance love is destined to not have a good ending. "
He was slightly unhappy. He attributed this feeling to being deceived.
Ye Cheng quietly put these books into the storage bag and put the storage bag in his lapel. He turned to look at Li Jinzhi and said seriously with a frown, "It will come in handy in the future." He paused and added, "You will know in the future."
When Li Jinzhi heard this, not only did he not feel relieved, he felt even more uncomfortable. He could not swallow it and could not spit it out. He could not find the reason at all.
It was not good to continue asking. Since the other party said that he would know in the future, it did not seem good to pester him. Besides, he did not know what else to ask.
Ye Cheng said that he only bought these as a precaution. Then what else was there to ask?!
He thought hard but to no avail. He became more irritable and could only vent his anger on the shopkeeper. "I said, I just want to know which power is the strongest. Why did you recommend these to us for no reason?!"
The shopkeeper took the money and his face glowed. He was not so repulsed by Li Jinzhi's cold aura. "Hey, Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be so irritable. Although I said that you only used your appearance to attract Dao companions, you don't have to be like this. After all, Fellow Daoist's appearance is one in a million.
"Also, which eye of yours saw that we are Dao companions?!!"
Li Jinzhi glared and became even more irritable. He inexplicably thought of the ridiculous ending in the original work.
Before the shopkeeper could speak, Ye Cheng straightened his body and leaned over slightly. He said to the shopkeeper with a serious expression, "Shopkeeper, don't talk nonsense. We are not Dao companions."
When Li Jinzhi heard Ye Cheng say the same, he could not help but feel relieved. However, he felt that something was not quite right.
The shopkeeper was about to say something but was stopped by Ye Cheng. Then, he heard him say that they were not Dao companions. That meant that they would be together soon!
"Oh, so that's how it is. This old man spoke too much, spoke too much. Hehe." He stroked his beard and looked at Ye Yu with eyes that said he understood everything.
Seeing that the other party understood, Li Jinzhi nodded and continued to ask, "Then where is the top-grade spirit vein in Green Flame Country?"
The shopkeeper took out another book. "Two pieces of low-grade spirit stones."
Ye Cheng was stunned. He touched the storage bag on his chest and frowned. "Why does this book only cost two pieces of low-grade spirit stones? Why do I have to charge forty pieces of low-grade spirit stones for these three books?!"
The shopkeeper did not speak. Li Jinzhi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you think?!"
“”
The shopkeeper took the two pieces of spirit stones that Li Jinzhi handed over and suggested, "Fellow Daoists, why don't you read these two books together? Immortal cultivation is about the state of mind. The environment is also the most important. Since you are going to live here for a long time, instead of looking for a place with the richest spirit energy, why don't you find a place that makes you feel relaxed and happy?"
Li Jinzhi thought about it and felt that the shopkeeper's words made sense. He nodded. "Thank you for the reminder."
"Sigh, I saw that the two of you were travel-worn, with a face full of yellow sand, and I knew that you came from Guangyuan. Living in such a dark place, there is no comfort to speak of. Since you came to Qingliao, you should enjoy more."
The shopkeeper was still nagging. In the end, Li Jinzhi could not hold back and pulled Ye Cheng out.
"Actually, I think he's right."
Ye Cheng raised his head and looked at the blurry mountain in the distance. "The two of us are either in an ice cave or underground, but we have never seen green mountains and flowing water. It's not a bad idea to take this opportunity to look around."
He paused and turned his head to ask, "Isn't the last step you're missing to understand the state of mind of a human cultivator and to comprehend the balance between a demon cultivator and a human cultivator?"
Li Jinzhi looked at the mountain in the distance and did not speak. He had transmigrated here and had seen beautiful scenery before. Although it was not as pure and full of vitality as here, he had seen it before.
Ye Cheng was born and raised in Beihan. He was used to seeing endless white and was naturally curious about the new scenery of green mountains and flowing water and the singing of kingfishers.
It seemed like a good idea to find a place with rich spirit energy that would not hinder cultivation and could also enjoy the beautiful scenery. Anyway, they were on the path of demon cultivation. Naturally, there was a huge difference between their cultivation and that of ordinary people. Rich spirit energy was enough.
In addition, Ye Cheng had mostly satisfied his wishes on the path of immortal cultivation. Ye Cheng rarely objected to his suggestions.
And this time, the other party only wanted to see something that he had never seen before.
Just satisfy him?
"Take out that book of yours. Where do you want to go?" Li Jinzhi pulled Ye Cheng into a cultivator's inn. "There's no hurry. Take your time."
