But after her senior brother Chen Changâan left, she found that she lost all her interest.
Even when Little Wind and Big Yellow at the bottom of the mountain awakened their potent Void God potential, she had little interest in it.
Now all she wants is to stay on the mountain, waiting for her senior brother to return.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you lying at my doorstep?"
In an unknown little mountain village, Li Lingâer was about to go up the mountain to gather herbs. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man lying on the doorstep of her home.
The man was as handsome as jade, elegant and graceful.
He was dressed in white, holding a book in his right hand, seemingly lacking any possessions.
He looked like a scholar, yet didnât quite strike as one.
If Mao Ruxue were here at this moment, she would definitely scream in surprise, because wasnât this white-clothed young man her senior brother, Chen Changâan, who had left home for half a year?
"Miss, could I please ask if this place is Dragon Sealing Village?"
Upon seeing the woman coming out, Chen Changâan woke up from his meditation, stood up and asked courteously.
"This place is not called Dragon Sealing Village, but Dragon Prosper Village."
"Dragon Sealing Village?"
"Yeah, Dragon Sealing Village. Itâs been called this since I was born. As for the Dragon Sealing Abyss which youâre asking about, Iâve never heard of it."
Upon hearing Chen Changâanâs words, the young girl nodded and then shook her head.
She then looked at Chen Changâan and said,
"Also, my dear sir, if you want to ask for directions, I can understand, but could you please not lie at my doorstep?"
"This is my doorstep. Youâve been lying here all night. What are you up to?"
"Thankfully no one saw you. Otherwise, if the officials thought I had murdered you and arrested me, that would have been a grave injustice."
Li Lingâer earnestly spoke to Chen Changâan.
"By the way, are you a scholar?"
Suddenly, as if something had occurred to Li Lingâer, she looked at Chen Changâan and asked with some surprise.
"Um, I guess so." Chen Changâan nodded.
"Humph! If youâre a scholar, you shouldâve said so earlier."
For some reason, Li Lingâer relaxed her guard considerably after hearing that Chen Changâan was a scholar.
Then she simply said:
"So, youâre here to apply for a room to rent?"
"Apply to rent...a room?"
Hearing this, Chen Changâan was momentarily stunned, and was at a total loss.
"Could you clarify, Miss?"
Chen Changâan was truly stupefied. Over the past half a year, he hadnât really been anywhere. He had fabricated the identity of an ordinary person, step by step, exploring the Wuxiang realm.
His actions could only be seen as baseless groaning or perhaps as symptoms of madness.
His main reason for doing this was to find an appropriate place to study.
DING! Detected books containing Great Dao. There is a chance to comprehend the Great Dao level.
Acquisition method: Open the book to read automatically, blessings will reach your soul.
Advice: Because âReincarnationâ, âGloomâ, âHeaven and Earthâ, âSaintâ, and âImmortal Demonâ books contain the power of the Great Dao, it is suggested that the host chooses a suitable mood and environment to read them to increase the chance of acquiring the Cultivation Technique.
Recommended location: None, the hostâs mind is the deciding factor.
These were the prompts from the system that appeared in Chen Changâanâs minds when he first acquired the âReincarnationâ, âGloomâ, âHeaven and Earthâ, âSaintâ, and âImmortal Demonâ books.
For the past half a year, Chen Changâan had been trying to fulfill the conditions specified by these alerts.
He put down all his work, cut off all external information, just to find a place where his mind could be at peace.
However, this did not seem to be an easy feat.
In this half year, he had been to many places. He visited vast plains, undulating mountains, and bustling cities.
Yet without exception, these places were never quite up to his standards.
He was still far from finding peace of mind.
Good books are best paired with a calm mind. Chen Changâan would rather not flip open these books than to hastily skim through them.
Yes, he was that stubborn.
Even Chen Changâan himself didnât know why he was so stubborn.
Finally, one day, he heard about a place called Dragon Sealing Abyss.
Chen Changâan had no idea what kind of place Dragon Sealing Abyss was. He came in this direction simply on a whim.
In the end, when he arrived at this small mountain village, he suddenly felt a long-lost tranquility and decided to stay.
Seeing Li Lingâer who had just come out, Chen Changâan said,
Upon hearing Chen Changâanâs words, Li Lingâer immediately expressed her contempt,
"As expected of a scholar, even under these circumstances, you still have the audacity to keep up appearances."
"You could just say that you are broke and came here to take advantage of my home."
"Go on, what are your rates?"
Li Lingâer asked again.
"Rates? What rates?"
Hearing this, Chen Changâan was once again dumbfounded.
"The price of the room!"
Li Lingâer exclaimed in surprise.
Then, as if something had struck her, she looked at Chen Changâan in astonishment and said,
"Hey, wait a minute, didnât you come here after seeing the notice I posted in the city?"
A notice?
Upon hearing this, Chen Changâan was confused but seemed to understand something.
Then he released his divine sense and peered into it.
His divine sense stretched endlessly, covering tens of thousands of miles around within an instant.
In the end, in a city about a dozen miles away from where he was, Chen Changâan saw a purported advertisement sign.
