This was an ordinary town on the edge of Mount Tai. Even though more than a decade had passed and the spirit qi on Earth had begun to gradually recover, there had not been much progress in technology or cultivation. These were not things that ordinary people could come into contact with.
However, although there was not much progress in the past decade, there was still progress. For example, everyone had a smartphone, and electric cars could be seen everywhere. All of these proved that the world was still dominated by technology, unlike the plane where Ye Xuan was born. Because of the existence of the Demonic Tribulation Takers, it had gone in a different direction.
Perhaps the Earth of this plane would eventually go on the path of cultivation with the recovery of spirit energy, but that would be hundreds or thousands of years later. This had nothing to do with Ye Xuan, and he was not in the mood to be a saint.
Walking in the crowd and looking at the lives of ordinary people, everything seemed so ordinary, yet so real.
After cultivating for so many years, Ye Xuan had experienced countless things. From a young man who had to eat three meals a day to an existence that could destroy a planet with a wave of his hand, he looked back at the rough and scheming path that had made him who he was today.
Among them, the biggest credit naturally belonged to the system.
However, judging from Xueyi's vague words, Ye Xuan felt that the system was not just helping him.
There was an old saying that went, 'There is no free lunch in the world.'
The system that had been hiding in the depths of his soul and had been using all kinds of methods to push him forward might not be a free lunch, but a kind of poison to quench thirst. Now that he was deeply poisoned, he could only stop drinking the poison while he was on the verge of death and find an antidote to save himself.
This was also the reason why Ye Xuan had been wanting to remove the system after discovering it. No one wanted to leave a bomb in their soul that could explode at any time.
Although he had always been calm, he had always had his own persistence. He did not want to be controlled by the system like a cow or a horse, and end up with the result that his thousands of years of hard work in cultivation would disappear in a day.
Even though doing so might cause his soul to be annihilated, he would not regret it even if he died.
However, ever since he got the system, he had been like a donkey with a carrot tied to its head. In order to eat the carrot in front of him, he had been moving in the same direction. He had never really relaxed.
Rather than giving Ye Fan and the others a year, it would be better to say that he was giving himself a year of time to truly live and experience life. Even if he really disappeared after a year, he wouldn't have any regrets.
Taking a deep breath and looking at the shops around him, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment before continuing to follow the crowd into the distance.
Two days later, an antique bookstore on the streets of Pinewood Town was quietly bought over.
This matter was definitely insignificant in Pinewood Town. A bookstore that was less than 50 square meters, especially in this era where mobile phones could search information on the Internet at any time, who would pay attention to a small bookstore. Only a few students who often went to the bookstore to buy study materials found that the owner of the bookstore seemed to have changed. From an old man in his 50s or 60s, he was replaced by a tall and handsome young man who looked like he was in his 20s.
Needless to say, this person was none other than Ye Xuan, who had disappeared for two days. He had always been interested in books. Before he got the system, one of his dreams was to open a bookstore of his own when he was old, so that he could spend his days leisurely as he read books.
Previously, when he was in South Korea, it was precisely for this reason that he opened a coffee shop. He even specially put a bookshelf in it. When he was free, he would also read more books. It was just that later because of the matter of cultivation, he put this matter aside.
Therefore, after thinking about re-experiencing the life of a mortal, the first thing that Ye Xuan thought of was the dream that he had not completed before, and that was why he bought the bookstore at a high price.
As for the money for buying the bookstore, he took it from the safe of a mafia boss thousands of miles away. It was a total of four to five million yuan. He naturally had no qualms about taking such ill-gotten wealth. It could be considered as robbing the rich to help the poor.
After buying the bookstore, Ye Xuan took care of the bookstore with peace of mind.
The bookstore was not big, only about 40 to 50 square meters. There was a huge brown bookshelf on three walls, which was filled with all kinds of books, ranging from world classics to martial arts, romance, magazines, and so on. In the middle were two glass bookshelves, on which were all kinds of primary and secondary school learning materials. Because the location of this bookstore was next to a school, these learning materials were quite in demand.
In addition, on some blank walls, there were some ink paintings and some famous epigrams, which made people feel a sense of culture as soon as they came in.
Near the door, there was a small cashier counter. Because it was his own business, there was no cash register, but Ye Xuan planned to add a computer or something in the future.
As for the layout of this bookstore, Ye Xuan did not change much after taking over, because in his opinion, the original owner of this bookstore had a good layout, simple and plain, which was similar to his taste.
After all, it was just a bookstore, so there was no need to make it too fancy.
After taking over this bookstore, Ye Xuan began to live like an ordinary person.
He lived in a rented room above the bookstore. Every morning, he would wake up at around six o 'clock and walk around a small park. Then, he would go to a small shop next to it for breakfast. At around eight o' clock, he would return to the bookstore next door to open. At noon, he would call the shop next door to ask for takeout. In the evening, he would close the bookstore at around six o 'clock and go home.
This kind of life was very monotonous. Every day, he had to travel between two places and one line. For many young people, this was definitely unacceptable. It was like entering old age in advance. However, for Ye Xuan, this kind of life was as sweet as syrup. After all, he had been going through all kinds of adventures in movies for the sake of cultivation. He had been hot-blooded, experienced conspiracies, and felt touched. But in the end, all of these eventually led to an ordinary life …
This chapter took a long time to write. In fact, he wanted to write it as early as three or four days ago, but after he started writing, he couldn't find the feeling. He wrote it to let Ye Xuan settle down and prepare for the future plot, but he found that his writing was really limited, and he couldn't start writing.
