"Pa."
Lin Jie placed the book that wasn't too thick on the counter.
"The Alchemist," also known as "The Alchemist," the Chinese translation was quite different from the original meaning of the title, but it was more appropriate for the content of the whole story and was more widely known. It was called "The Fantastic Journey of a Young Shepherd."
The general content of the story was very simple. It was about a young shepherd who dreamed of a treasure near the pyramid. He went to find it, went through many hardships, gained mysterious power, and gained love.
When he arrived at the pyramid, he did not find the treasure. Finally, he found that the treasure was in the abandoned church he had dreamed of before.
This was an extremely classic fable novel. No matter what stage of life one was in, one could read different truths and gain different insights from it.
It was suitable for both young and old.
In other words, this book was very easy to sell. It could be given to anyone and most people could buy it.
Lin Jie generally chose popular bestsellers for customers who did not know much about it and found it difficult to prescribe the right medicine.
In addition, the vice president in front of him looked like he had a rough life. As a folklore scholar, it was natural for him to know a little about physiognomy.
His glabella was dark. It must be that things were not going well recently and he needed some positive energy to stimulate him. The first website was m.9biquge. com
"There is a language in the universe that everyone can understand, but this language has been forgotten."
Lin Jie stretched out his finger and pointed at the book cover. His eyes were meaningful. "And this book is about this language. All the answers you want can be found in this book."
The author of "The Alchemist" wrote this book in the process of pursuing alchemy, but he was not really writing about the magical power of alchemy. Instead, he was referring to "spiritual and life alchemy".
In fact, the forgotten language that this book wanted people to understand was the philosophy of the soul.
Of course, this was not the way to sell a book. You couldn't just say that you were selling chicken soup for the soul. You had to keep people in suspense.
"The language of the universe …"
When Andrew, who was sitting opposite, saw the title of the book, "The Door of Truth," he could not sit still. When he heard the last sentence, he was already trembling.
He took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, and caressed the outline of the book. His expression was like a pilgrim.
Alchemy! Alchemy!
The true essence of alchemy was the language of the universe!
As the owner of the bookstore had said, this was a book for alchemists!
Andrew Russell, his surname, and his family, were famous for their alchemy.
In addition, although he had dabbled in other fields, his achievements in alchemy were far inferior.
Before Andrew became the vice president, he was the former alchemy director of the Truth Society.
But at that time, none of the scholars of the Russell family in the Truth Society were as accomplished in alchemy as the current head of the alchemy department, Walter. Therefore, Andrew could only give the position to the latter.
Therefore, as mentioned earlier, the relationship between Andrew and Walter could not be considered harmonious.
The Clockwheel Worm was their family's alchemy creation. The ruby dial on the device was made from the highest purity Philosopher's Stone that they could extract.
Most of the energy used to control time came from this Philosopher's Stone.
Andrew stared at the book in front of him in a daze.
His inspiration was stirring, and all the cells in his body were screaming. As an alchemist, his instincts told him that the things contained in this book would be the answer that he would spend his life searching for!
"Can, can I open it and take a look?"
Unconsciously, Andrew's voice became nervous and humble, cautious, and full of eagerness. His eyes were as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world, and he could not move his eyes away.
His heart was thumping, and he felt his mouth was dry. He was even more nervous and excited than when he first had an affair with his beloved wife two years ago.
No one could understand that if this was the ultimate goal that all alchemists dreamed of, they could abandon everything else!
Every scholar was pursuing the truth. Although they each had their own path and ideas, they were all looking for the truth of this world, this universe.
Therefore, they established the Truth Society and diligently pursued it.
And now, Andrew could even vaguely feel that the truth had been casually placed in front of him.
How ridiculous …
Andrew wanted to laugh bitterly. He did not understand before why a proud person like Wang Erde would be willing to work for the bookstore. The Yue Sefu did not even care about his enemies and flattered the bookstore. The entire Miyi Tower did not hesitate to suspend cooperation with the Truth Society.
Even the collapse of the Dome Church and the rise of the New Stream, which had the shadow of the bookstore, did not make sense to him. If it were a more powerful deity, they could have done it as well. It was just a matter of how much effort they were willing to put in.
But when the owner of the bookstore placed the book in front of him, he suddenly understood.
If all you wanted in your life was a casual book that someone casually brought to you.
When the beliefs of the past had all collapsed, what else could become the new support?
"Of course."
Lin Jie pushed the book over and said matter-of-factly, "Books are meant for people to read. I think this book is fated to be with you. Maybe it can solve your recent problems."
Boss Lin showed a kind smile.
If you read it, you will have to buy it … Humph, this guy is obviously rich and cares about his reputation. As long as he leaves a mark, you will have to buy it even if you don't want to.
Andrew was stunned.
What a generous gift … The Truth Society was selfless.
"Don't doubt it." Lin Jie took a sip of water leisurely. Seeing Andrew stunned, he thought that Andrew was doubting his words.
So he continued with a smile, "Just like what is revealed in this book — once a person makes a decision, he actually falls into a huge torrent. This torrent will take him to a place you never thought of when you made the decision. Everyone's experience in the world is connected by this torrent."
"Because of this, we are omniscient and there is nothing we do not know, because everything is predestined."
Lin Jie's smile was unfathomable. "When you read this book today, you are actually facing a choice at the crossroads of fate. One day in the future, you will know whether your choice is right or not."
Although the words he used were uncertain, people who heard this sentence would definitely hesitate.
If he bought it, he might regret it for a while. If he did not, he might regret it for a lifetime.
The balance in his heart immediately tilted. Since it was not expensive, he might as well buy it and give it a try.
Andrew swallowed his saliva. Fate seemed to have split into two paths in front of him.
He closed his eyes and opened the book with trembling hands. He whispered, "I don't think I will regret my choice today."
