"Hey, you little rascal, it wasn't easy for your grandpa to raise you. You're lucky to have anything to eat. But this Shan Hai Yuan food is really delicious." Zhou Yixian didn't even look up, her chopsticks still busy, stuffing food into her mouth as she retorted.
Li Qingan smiled upon seeing this.
After meal.
"Big brother, let's go out and buy candied hawthorns." Xiao Huan tugged at Li Qing'an's sleeve, looking at him expectantly.
"Okay, but you've just eaten, how can you still eat?" Li Qingan smiled and patted Xiao Huan's head.
"I might have eaten some, but I can still eat three or six, maybe ten more skewers of candied hawthorns." Xiao Huan counted on her fingers, silently calculating how much more she could eat.
"Let's go," Li Qing'an said, pulling Xiao Huan along. After settling the bill, he placed Xiao Luo in her hands.
"Big brother, what's this turtle called?"
"Its name is Xiao Luo!"
"Young man, the cause and effect of choosing this name is immense. If you cannot bear it, the world will be without such a divine tortoise! However, I see that this tortoise is in excellent condition, and it has even become sentient. It seems that you are quite capable, young man!"
Zhou Yixian followed behind the two, occasionally interjecting with a comment.
Li Qingan nodded first, "Sir, you guessed right. This turtle did indeed almost die some time ago."
Just then, a vendor selling candied hawthorns walked by, calling out, "Candied hawthorns, candied hawthorns!"
Then he put some copper coins in Xiao Huan's arms and told her to go and buy them herself.
Anyway, it's right in front of us, nothing will happen!
He then continued from where he left off.
"If I hadn't used my trump card, I'm afraid I would have been in grave danger. I see that you know a lot about this turtle, sir. Could you please enlighten me?"
"It cannot be said, it cannot be said! This tortoise and my young brother are already bound by life and death; it's not something I can discern!"
Zhou Yixian squinted at the tortoise in Xiao Huan's hand, calculating with his fingers.
Li Qing'an saw that Zhou Yixian spoke earnestly and had the air of an old sage.
"Senior, it seems you have quite profound skills, capable of predicting events from the past to the future, even a hundred years in the future."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I'm just trying to make a living."
"Judging from your senior's methods, there's no way you would have made Xiao Huan run around with you in this world," Li Qing'an asked again.
He had always been curious how someone with Zhou Yixian's abilities could possibly be so impoverished.
"Cultivating immortality is carefree, but all the hardships and setbacks are nothing more than the mundane world!"
Zhou Yixian stroked his beard and spoke a few words.
"Senior is quite open-minded, but it's a pity that Xiao Huan has suffered."
Li Qingan also looked deep in thought, although he didn't understand it, because his previous life was in the human world, and the suffering in the human world was also very torturous!
Instead, they live a carefree and untroubled life, free from worldly troubles.
"Big brother, what's so bitter about it? It's not bitter at all, and these candied hawthorns are really sweet!" Just then, Xiao Huan came over with a big bunch of candied hawthorns and handed another string of them to Li Qing'an: "Big brother, here you go!"
"Thank you, Xiao Huan." Li Qing'an didn't refuse. He took a skewer and put it in his mouth, then helped Xiao Huan put the rest in her hand: "You eat first, and come back for more when you're done."
"Mmm," Xiao Huan's mouth was stuffed with candied hawthorns, and she made a mmmming sound, nodding her head.
"Do you and Xiao Huan have a place to stay?"
"How could we, travelers from all corners of the world, possibly have a place to stay in the largest city in the Central Plains?"
"That's perfect. I have something I'd like to ask you, sir. Why don't you come with me? I'll cover your lodging and meals!"
"That's just right!"
Zhou Yixian was naturally happy to see this happen.
So the group returned to Shanhaiyuan for their overnight stay.
It was late at night, in the inn room.
Li Qingan and Zhou Yixian chatted idly by the window, while Xiao Huan was already asleep in bed.
"Senior, have you received any inheritance?" Li Qingan asked Zhou Yixian directly.
"Young man, if it weren't for the daytime, and the way you treated Xiao Huan, I would have run away by now." Zhou Yixian's tone was calm, but a hint of panic could still be heard. He thought to himself, 'Could it be that I miscalculated?'
Regardless of the sect, as long as it's within the cultivation world, the issue of inheritance is extremely sensitive.
Fighting to the death over a mere, unsubstantial piece of information is commonplace, and it's not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other!
However, Li Qing'an joined the number one sect, Qingyun Sect, so he didn't have such troubles!
"Senior, you are overthinking it. I just wanted to ask if this book was included in the inheritance you received!"
Li Qingan took out the Earth Vein Mystery Manual and placed it in front of Zhou Yixian.
This book was his initial step in comprehending array runes. If he could complete it and then enhance it with the effects of cultivation, it would be of great benefit to his subsequent comprehension of other runes. Although it is unknown why the original work did not mention it, given the vastness of Shenzhou, it is not surprising that there are some little-known inheritances!
Come to your senses.
"You're lucky, kid. I actually have some leftovers!"
Zhou Yixian picked up the book and flipped through it, only to find that what was written in the book was extremely consistent with another inheritance he had obtained.
He thought for a moment and then said, "However, I don't take what's mine for free!"
"Senior, just say it plainly. If it's something I can give, I'll exchange it for any Daoist techniques or methods!"
"Hey, do I look like the kind of person who wants those mundane things? I want this..."
As Zhou Yixian spoke, he kept rubbing his thumb and forefinger together.
“I usually take Xiao Huan on trips, which costs a lot of money. Besides, I see that you treat Xiao Huan well, so you wouldn’t want her to go hungry or cold, would you?”
Zhou Yixian uttered a Japanese phrase.
Chapter 34 It really was a misunderstanding, parting ways.
Zhou Yixian uttered a Japanese phrase!
However, Li Qing'an was not a married woman, and Zhou Yixian was just an old man.
Li Qingan was speechless, looking at Zhou Yixian with a blank expression.
"What, you're still unhappy that I don't want your Taoist arts and methods! You really want this old man to have to beg on the streets with a five or six-year-old girl in the future? Can you bear to see Xiao Huan like this..."
Seeing that Li Qing'an didn't speak, Zhou Yixian assumed that the boy was as stingy as he was, so he spoke again.
"Stop, stop, stop."
Li Qing'an sighed, seeing that Zhou Yixian was about to spout nonsense again, and quickly agreed.
He gave all the silver he had on him, except for the money for his meal, to Zhou Yixian.
Zhou Yixian's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He quickly took the money from Li Qingan's hand, put it in his pocket, and then took out a few taels to return to Li Qingan: "Kid, don't say I'm not fair. You gave me so much, so I'm giving you a few taels back to avoid Xiao Huan scolding me when she finds out!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Xian suddenly produced a book from somewhere and placed it in Li Qing'an's hand, instructing him not to talk too much with Xiao Huan, otherwise the transaction would be void.
Li Qingan nodded, his eyes fixed on the book, a puzzled look on his face.
"Miscellaneous Records of Feng Shui?"
Li Qingan looked at the book with the wrong title, hesitated for a moment, but then thought that Zhou Yixian wouldn't try to trick him with other books, so he opened it and examined it carefully.
Having memorized the relevant content by heart, he only needed to flip through a few pages to know that the content was indeed accurate.
It simply transformed the description of earth veins in cultivation into feng shui, and the book also records many feng shui descriptions from his travels all over the country.
'Made a fortune'
Li Qing'an thought to himself that with these detailed descriptions of the feng shui veins, he could also use these descriptions to barely understand some of the vein conditions and try to form new terrain formations.
Although this is not as far as going to the local area, the Divine Continent is so vast that if they went one by one, by the time they returned, it would probably be before the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament was over, and even Zhang Xiaofan would have fallen into demonic possession.
Li Qingan breathed a sigh of relief, but the thought of needing to collect all five Heavenly Books in the future still gave him a headache.
After all, the Heavenly Books of the Ghost King Sect and the Heavenly Sound Temple are the hardest to obtain!
Li Qingan snapped out of his daze, putting aside what was to come, and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yixian.
"Thank you very much, senior. This is of great use to me. I will never refuse your call in the future."
Zhou Yixian waved her hand: "It's nothing. I just find you pleasing to the eye. Xiao Huan likes you too."
Li Qingan never expected that simply coaxing Xiao Huan, who seemed quite cute, would yield such a result.
It is truly a case of wanting something but not getting it, and having no desire but achieving things naturally.
......
next day
Li Qing'an Gate
"bang bang bang"
The knocking continued to reach Li Qing'an's ears, who was still sleeping.
"Coming, coming," Li Qingan said, getting up with blurry eyes and opening the door. "Xiao Huan, why are you up so early?"
"It's getting late, big brother, the sun is about to rise."
After realizing what was happening, Li Qingan glanced at the sky outside.
"Xiao Huan, you're still a child. Getting up so early will stunt your growth!"
Li Qingan patiently persuaded her to go back to sleep, intending to take another nap himself.
Since obtaining this panel, Li Qing'an could sleep whenever he wanted, and on Dazhu Peak, he slept almost every day until Xiao Fan or Tian Ling'er came to wake him.
"It's okay, Grandpa said I won't stunt my growth. I'll travel around with him and become even more powerful in the future!"
Xiao Huan looked up at Li Qing'an.
Li Qingan seemed to have regained some energy and asked again, "Where's your grandfather?"
He went out and told me to come and stay here for a while!
"Okay, come in then, play by yourself for a while."
