"Dong Mountain University's Zhang Shoushou." Lin Dong didn't even blink his eyes.
"…" Seeing that he didn't say anything, the shop owner didn't force him and changed the topic: "What do you want to buy?"
Lin Dong pretended to look around, then casually pointed at the inconspicuous damaged Jade Annulus in the corner: "How much is this?"
The shop owner heard him.
She smiled sweetly.
Lin Dong made her laugh inexplicably. It was just buying something, was there a need to be so funny?
Hearing that Lin Dong wanted to buy a Jade Annulus, the old man who was sipping his tea raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Dong curiously, as if he wanted to get to know this young man all over again. The red-faced man didn't have the old man's sharp hearing. He was still talking to the black-rimmed glasses man in a low voice, discussing the progress of a certain project.
The shop owner, whose skin was as white as snow, held back her laughter with great difficulty. She put down her hand that was covering her mouth and gracefully bowed to Lin Dong: "I'm sorry, this is a family heirloom. Although it's ugly, I don't dare to sell it without permission."
"If you don't want to sell it, then why did you put it out?" Lin Dong was curious.
"This is a keepsake." The shop owner explained: "That year, my great grandfather said goodbye to his friend here. They promised to meet again, but due to fate, my great grandfather couldn't fulfill his wish until his death. In order to keep the promise, our descendants held this Jade Annulus and waited for the descendants of my great grandfather's best friend, hoping that one day, they would be able to comfort our elders. "
"So that's how it is. What a touching story." Lin Dong clapped his hands and praised. Without waiting for the shop owner to speak, he pointed at the thumb-sized Black Jade Gourd: "Is this also a keepsake?"
"This? This isn't. "The shop owner lightly waved her hand.
"Then you can sell it." Lin Dong put on an expression as if he had too much money: "I like this Jade Gourd. How much does it cost?"
"Ten million." The shop owner's words scared Lin Dong. Girl, you're so cute, but you can still kill people without spilling blood? Come on, you're a beauty, not a killer!
"You think it's worth 10 million?" Lin Dong was stunned. Even if he wanted to quote a price, it wouldn't be like this.
"I don't know if it's worth ten million or not, but I have a feeling that even if I sell it to you for ten million, I'll still be at a disadvantage." The Black Jade Gourd answered seriously. She had picked up the Inky Jade Gourd by accident. Whether it was the quality of the jade or the carving skills, it wasn't top-notch. However, because the location was very special, she wasn't too sure. Thus, she placed it in the store, hoping that someone with a discerning eye would be able to decipher the mystery behind it. At first, when Lin Dong asked about the jade disc, she didn't care, but when Lin Dong changed the topic, she immediately understood that the goal of this young man was this Black Jade Gourd that she couldn't see through.
"I don't have ten million." Lin Dong looked at the Black Jade Gourd, then at the shop owner, and sighed.
"I guess you don't have it either. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for ten million." The shop owner covered her mouth and laughed.
"Good job!" Lin Dong gave the shop owner a thumbs up.
The shop owner smiled but didn't say anything.
Lin Dong shook his head and sighed.
He turned around and left.
The old man who had been looking at him wanted to stop Lin Dong, but he shook his head. He picked up his teacup and sipped on it.
Today's trip to Jade Street was fruitful. Because of Xiang Qi and the other shop owners' "generosity," Lin Dong didn't have to spend a cent and got three pieces of high-quality jade. If he hadn't walked into Leisure House, Lin Dong would have been in a good mood. He thought it was a good day to talk about friendship. Coming out of Leisure House, Lin Dong felt the weather wasn't good. At least, it wasn't good for shopping …
If the shop owner was a black-hearted man, or if the shop owner girl looked like a Jurassic creature, the result would be different.
Unfortunately, the shop owner girl was so beautiful that he couldn't steel his heart.
She even looked like an ethereal fairy.
It made people sigh.
"There will be more opportunities in the future." Lin Dong felt that this was the beginning of his counterattack. There was no need to rush. He would take his time. Things that belonged to him wouldn't run away. They would belong to him in the end.
He went back to his room and had a good night's sleep. Then, he went to the snack shop at the end of the street to have a half-full dinner.
The girl was worried that Lin Dong would die from overeating. She was very nervous. She held her phone in her hand, ready to call an ambulance as soon as he collapsed. However, the kind-hearted girl was worried for nothing. Lin Dong was only half-full. Afraid that he would scare the cute girl, Lin Dong didn't ask for a takeaway when he paid the bill.
At the corner of the street, a shadow flashed.
Lin Dong glanced at it and ignored it.
He strolled on the street to relax and look at the beautiful girls. Along the way, he bought some snacks from time to time. Although the taste was average, the feeling of eating "ten years later" was great.
He would go back to his dream without realizing it. He didn't know where the diligent cultivator was.
In the morning.
He was in a daze for a while.
When he woke up, Lin Dong finally realized that he should train hard. Otherwise, the distance between him and Fairy Piaomiao would get further and further. Pushing open the window, he saw that the sky outside was beautiful. Sunlight filled the entire sky, dyeing everything on the ground golden. A gentle breeze blew, causing ripples to form in his heart lake. As it swayed, the beautiful figure hidden deep within it could be vaguely seen.
"I won't let you wait too long." Lin Dong clenched his fists.
After his transmigration, because of his bad luck, he didn't have proper guidance. He could only learn some unorthodox methods from the old beggar, such as the "Turtle Snake Art".
However, cultivation was like painting on a canvas. A blank slate was the best start. Lin Dong was like this. In order to survive, he was forced to cultivate the Turtle-Snake Art, the Soaring Cloud Art, the Black Tortoise Body Refinement Art, and so on. It was a mess but not a master, which was a bad thing. If a canvas was painted with children's colors, drawings, ink, and oil paint, it would be impossible to become a world-famous painting.
There was only one foundation.
If he were to let these low-grade cultivation techniques be consumed, then there would not be much space left for him to cultivate high-grade cultivation techniques.
There was a period of time when a few elders from famous sects sighed that Lin Dong's foundation was destroyed by the trash cultivation technique. If it was ten years ago, at the beginning of his transmigration, Lin Dong could enter a famous sect and properly train with a superior cultivation technique, then his future would be limitless.
Unfortunately.
Everything could not be redone.
Of course, Lin Dong, who had no one to rely on, was destined to train in a trash cultivation technique. Otherwise, how could he survive in the cultivation world alone?
The old beggar was very hateful. He often extorted and exploited Lin Dong. However, Lin Dong was grateful to that old guy from the bottom of his heart. Because if it wasn't for that old guy, if it wasn't for him teaching Lin Dong the Turtle Snake Art, Lin Dong, who had no clothes and no food, would have starved to death at the beginning of his transmigration …
"Now that my cultivation has been destroyed, it might not be a bad thing to lose my cultivation." Lin Dong looked at the floating white clouds in the blue sky outside and suddenly thought of something. He didn't know if Piaomiao Fairy did it intentionally or unintentionally, but if he analyzed it carefully, he would find something suspicious. With Piaomiao Fairy's supreme cultivation technique, it should be easy for her to detect a little thief who snuck into the forbidden area to look at her family's secret technique, right?
The Star River Nine Heavens Technique was something that everyone in the cultivation world yearned for.
Why was it so easy for him to obtain it?
He didn't know what her intentions were, but for Lin Dong to be able to start all over again, he had to sincerely thank her!
"Work hard. With such a good opportunity to start all over again, I will definitely not disappoint the heavens." Lin Dong took out a low-grade spirit stone from his storage ring. According to the basic requirements of the Star River Nine Heavens Technique, he sat cross-legged in the Five Hearts Facing the Sky Technique. He abandoned all distracting thoughts and emptied his mind. With a pure thought, he naturally and calmly absorbed the energy within the spirit stone.
Before cultivating, he had to purify his body.
Lin Dong was usually a lazy person.
However, he was still quite serious when it came to cultivating.
He hugged the spirit stone and sat there for three days. When he woke up from his meditation, he found that it was already the afternoon of the third day.
The effect of purifying his body was pretty good. Lin Dong's entire body had an extremely unpleasant smell. It wasn't a stench, but a very turbid odor. He couldn't keep the stained clothes anymore. He packed them up and washed them naked for a long time before he could barely restore them to their original clean appearance.
He went downstairs to eat.
As usual, it was the Big Mouth Gourmet Restaurant at the corner of the street.
"Uncle, why haven't I seen you these past few days?" In the gourmet restaurant, the cute little girl asked curiously as she served the dishes.
There was a reason why she was so concerned about Lin Dong.
First, it was because of Lin Dong's appearance. In this world where appearance was everything, although the little girl felt that he was already an uncle, it didn't stop her from admiring handsome and cool creatures. Second, she secretly took photos of Lin Dong eating and drinking. She posted them on Weibo and gained a lot of fans for her. Many fujoshis and non-mainstream girls left comments, saying that Lin Dong, who looked like a starving ghost, was very cool and strongly requested for more updates. There were even many die-hard fans who left messages every day saying that they were willing to sacrifice themselves to cure Lin Dong's heartbreak … Therefore, Lin Dong, who had been missing for three days, became the focus of the little girl's daily attention. At one time, she even thought that Lin Dong had committed suicide.
Lin Dong decided to let go of his stomach and eat a big meal.
He wanted to celebrate that he was about to become a top-notch expert by cultivating the Star River Nine Heavens Technique.
Because he was in a good mood, he temporarily forgot about his feelings. After the purification of his body, his physique was greatly improved. Lin Dong, who was crazily eating, unknowingly ate a super feast that could feed ten people.
The little girl who hid on the side and secretly took photos was both happy and worried.
She was happy that there was no problem with the updates. With today's photos, the number of fans was bound to increase. However, she was more worried about whether Lin Dong's stomach would explode. The little girl also felt that if he continued to eat like today, even if Lin Dong's stomach didn't explode now, it would definitely explode in the future.
Even if he was heartbroken, he didn't have to hurt himself like this, right?
It was too scary!
The more the little girl thought about it, the more terrified she became. In the end, she almost cried out of fear!
