"No need, my father can buy it."
To Huang Ying, Du Feng really didn't need to buy from a middleman as the middleman would profit from the price difference.
The young man realized that he had connections. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to earn any money. At this moment, Du Feng spoke.
"It's okay, leave me your contact first. I need a lot."
He insisted on leaving the middleman's contact and expressed his friendliness. The young man understood tacitly and naturally left Du Feng's contact information. He thought to himself that this boss was indeed generous. He could have bought it cheap but he complained that it was too little.
This wasn't Du Feng's generosity but his true thoughts. Due to his unique constitution, he would need a lot of elixirs to increase his Cultivation. Huang Sheng had to cultivate too and the elixirs he could provide him were limited.
Du Feng wanted to learn how to concoct elixirs as soon as possible and then use a large number of elixirs to increase his Cultivation. He wanted to reach the peak of Fifth Transformation Immortal Emperor Level 9 as soon as possible. That was the only way he could go on an adventure with Huang Sheng.
"Alright, let's go buy some books."
Du Feng left the middleman's contact and asked Huang Ying to bring him to the bookstore. On the way, Huang Ying was a little unhappy that Du Feng didn't trust her father.
"Don't be angry, you'll know in the future."
Du Feng knew that Huang Ying was throwing a tantrum again. Actually, her temper was considered good among the young ladies. She pouted and sulked, but she didn't cry or make a fuss.
"Alright, you're spending your own money anyway."
Huang Sheng had promised to provide some resources to Du Feng in the Emperor City but he had to pay for the middleman himself. Even Huang Sheng might not be able to afford his spending like this.
"Sir, please come in!"
When the clerk of the bookstore saw Du Feng at the door, his eyes lit up. What was going on? He only greeted Du Feng but not Huang Ying. Did he already know that Du Feng was the real customer? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they have asked the two guests to come in? Why did they ignore Huang Ying?
"Pfft, you're just a snob."
Huang Ying was unhappy that she was ignored by the bookstore staff. However, she was very clear about the reason behind it. That was because all the big shops communicated with each other, especially the few shops that cooperated with each other. Just now, when Du Feng went crazy in the pharmacy, the bookstore had already received the news.
Not only did they receive the news, but every shop assistant also received a portrait of Du Feng and remembered him firmly in their hearts. At the same time, they also knew that the young woman beside Du Feng would not buy anything. Therefore, when she saw Du Feng at the entrance of the bookstore, she couldn't help but greet him, completely ignoring Huang Ying.
"This lady is right. I'm blind, I'm blind!"
The bookstore staff reacted quite quickly. He thought that he couldn't offend this woman either. Although she did not buy anything, she could give Mr. Du some advice. If Mr. Du left in a bad mood, the bookstore would suffer a huge loss. Therefore, he quickly apologized to her with a sincere attitude.
"Alright, take me in to have a look."
Naturally, Du Feng would not argue with a small shop assistant. He let him lead him around the various areas. There were quite a lot of books here. In addition to the books on alchemy and array formations that Du Feng wanted, there were also many kinds of fist techniques, leg techniques, sword techniques, saber techniques, and so on. There was also a thick book that aroused Du Feng's interest. That was "Interpretation of the True Immortal Realm".
This so-called "Interpretation of the True Immortal Realm" was actually an encyclopedia that introduced the entire True Immortal Realm. For Du Feng, this book was quite useful.
"Give me this, this, and that one, that one …"
Du Feng picked out many kinds of books, covering many aspects. Finally, he pointed to the "Interpretation of the True Immortal Realm" and said, "Give this to me."
"Okay, I'll make the decision to give it to Young Master for free."
Several of the bookstore staff followed behind Du Feng to serve him. Even the shopkeeper came over. This was because he was very generous. He bought a lot of books at one go, and he did not bargain. Therefore, it was reasonable to ask for a free book in the end. This kind of leisure book was usually taken back to coax children, so they did not think much about it.
In fact, Du Feng really needed the "Interpretation of the True Immortal Realm" because he was a cultivator from the True Immortal Realm. His understanding of this place was limited to the little knowledge that Huang Ying and Huang Sheng had told him. With this book, it would be much more convenient to move around in the True Immortal Realm.
"Let's go. We've been shopping for a long time. I'll treat you to a meal."
Du Feng put away all the things he wanted and led Huang Ying out of the bookstore. What was interesting was that there was no middleman following them this time. The middleman probably told each other and knew that someone had already contacted Boss Du.
As a man, having a girl accompany him shopping for half a day, he should indeed treat her to a meal. Du Feng was not a stingy person. When he walked out, he saw a good restaurant and decided to treat Huang Ying to a meal.
"This … Let's go back first. My mother has already prepared food."
Huang Ying was in a bit of a dilemma. Actually, she was also a bit envious of the food in the big restaurant. But the problem was that her father told her not to eat out casually, and her mother had indeed prepared food. In order not to make her parents angry, she decided to eat at home.
"Okay then, I'll treat everyone next time."
Since Huang Ying was unwilling, Du Feng could not force her. Treating others to a meal was something that could not be forced. If the other party was unwilling and insisted on treating others to a meal, it would only make both parties unhappy and waste money. In the end, it would only make both parties unhappy and waste money.
When they walked back, Huang Ying was clearly a bit anxious, so she walked in a hurry. But she was not very familiar with the route, so she could not walk fast. But for some reason, this time, Du Feng was walking slowly, as if he was not in a hurry. This caused Huang Ying to not be able to walk fast even if she wanted to.
"Shh, don't look around, someone is following us."
Du Feng used a secret message to warn Huang Ying, because he had discovered that someone was following them. After all, they had spent so much money on the two shops, it would definitely attract attention. He just did not know if the person following them was the shop owner's people or the ordinary residents in the area. Of course, it could also be someone with ulterior motives.
"Oh, then I'll follow you."
