Chapter 73 Strange People
Chen Ze didn't care much about the attitude of this foundation-building master in Mingxinzhai.
Chen Ze could understand that a foundation-building master who chose to live in seclusion here had some strange behavior.
Since others told him to choose by himself, he stopped talking nonsense and started to choose the books he needed.
The books in Mingxinzhai were indeed dazzling, with all kinds of books.
From cultivation methods, spells, auxiliary skills to local county chronicles, common sense, and immortal cultivation talks, they were all included.
This place was like a natural treasure house for Chen Ze now.
What Chen Ze lacked most now was the understanding of this immortal cultivation world. He didn't care about these things before, thinking that there was a store of all things, and everything could be bought at any time.
Now it's different. It turns out that there are things that can't be bought in the store of all things.
The foundation-building master who was watching the store was a little confused now. He felt that Chen Ze seemed a little strange.
Although he was holding a book in his hand and seemed to be reading it, in fact, his spiritual consciousness had already spread out and covered the entire store. Chen Ze's every move was under his surveillance.
He noticed that Chen Ze would pick up a book from time to time and simply flip through a few pages.
Then he seemed to be satisfied and took the book in his hand, as if he had already chosen the book.
In this way, he watched Chen Ze repeat the action until Chen Ze had a pile of more than ten books in his hands.
What made him feel strange was that the books Chen Ze chose were all common common sense books.
Chen Ze had no idea about choosing these books. After all, he was selling these books. He should be happy if someone bought them.
But every time Chen Ze chose a book, he showed an expression as if he had found a treasure, which made him feel really strange.
Isn't this man at the ninth level of Qi Refining? What's the point of reading these books?
Moreover, these books can be found everywhere. You can copy as many as you want. They are not rare objects.
"Even if you find a few high-level exercises in my store, it is reasonable to make such a happy expression. Strange!" The store keeper couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The more Chen Ze did this, the more he attracted the store keeper's attention.
He simply put down the book in his hand and stopped using his spiritual sense to monitor him. Instead, he just stared at Chen Ze.
After a while, Chen Ze couldn't hold any more books in his hands, so he came to the counter with the books he had chosen.
He put the books he had chosen on the counter, and Chen Ze realized that Zhuji, who had been reading books before, was no longer reading books and was just staring at him.
Chen Ze didn't think much about it. He just came to buy books, so he didn't care what others thought.
"Sorry, I have chosen too many. I'll put them down first and settle them together later."
After Chen Ze finished speaking, he turned around and went to choose books again without paying attention to Zhuji's eyes.
Zhuji, who was watching the store, just watched Chen Ze run back and forth two or three times. He also flipped through the books Chen Ze brought over.
They were indeed some ordinary books, without any books on cultivation methods or spells.
Zhuji, who was watching the store, looked at the dozens of books on the counter and felt overwhelmed.
Even if they looked at a lot of them, they couldn't sell for many spiritual stones.
He bought these ordinary books just to fill the shelves so that they would not look empty.
After a long time, Chen Ze finally selected the last book.
"Daoyou, count how many spiritual stones are these books worth?"
The shopkeeper Zhuji looked at the pile of ordinary books on the counter, "Is this guy here to make trouble? How many spiritual stones can he sell for this pile?"
However, seeing Chen Ze's sincere face, he didn't seem to be here to make trouble.
The shopkeeper Zhuji then read through the books one by one. He said he was reading, but he was just counting how many books there were.
They were all ordinary books, and the prices were the same here, and each book was the same price.
He had checked these books and there were no hidden books in them.
"A total of 105 books." After counting the number of books, the shopkeeper Zhuji calculated how many spiritual stones he should collect.
"10 books for one low-grade spirit stone? Isn't that a bit expensive? They are all worthless."
After hesitating for a while, the shopkeeper said, "10 low-grade spirit stones in total!"
"Okay." Chen Ze took out 10 low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper.
After receiving the 10 low-grade spirit stones from Chen Ze, the shopkeeper felt a little unreal, "It's so easy to earn 10 spirit stones?"
These books were bought back for a few taels of silver each, and some were even bought for two or three books for one silver. This pile of books together didn't cost a single spirit stone.
He didn't expect Chen Ze to pay so readily, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Before the shopkeeper spoke, all the books on the counter were put into the storage bag by Chen Ze with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist." Chen Ze bowed and turned to leave.
Chen Ze had bought all the books he wanted to buy, so there was no point in staying here.
"Okay, okay, welcome next time." The shopkeeper Zhuji seemed a little slow to speak.
He didn't know what to say, just watched Chen Ze walk out of Mingxinzhai.
Others said he was weird, but he didn't expect to see someone even weirder today.
After Chen Ze left for a while, the shopkeeper Zhuji focused his attention on the shop.
Looking up, the whole shop seemed empty.
The upper and lower layers of the bookshelves seemed to have been hollowed out, with no books left.
Only the middle-level skills and spells were left on the bookshelf, and they were neatly placed there.
It seemed that the entire Mingxinzhai seemed to have no books to sell, and it was a little depressed.
"Could it be that my skills and spells are not in his eyes? He has never even looked at those books."
The shopkeeper Zhuji was deeply puzzled. There were several advanced books among those skills and spells.
"It seems that I have to collect some ordinary books to fill them up, otherwise it will look like my shop is about to close."
"Forget it, there are so many immortal cultivators, it's normal to encounter a few strange ones."
The shopkeeper Zhuji shook his head and smiled, no longer thinking about Chen Ze buying books, and sat down to continue to look down at his own books.
"Huh? Where was I just looking at?"
After Chen Ze bought the books he needed, he stopped staying outside and quickly returned to his mansion.
So many books are enough for him to look at for a while, and he now needs these books to supplement his lack of knowledge of this world.
At the same time, he also took the time to calm down and understand the entire system of cultivating immortals.
After walking for a while, Chen Ze suddenly remembered something.
With a thought, his consciousness left Shen Wansan's body.
Let Shen Wansan return to the mansion by himself, so that he can get familiar with Wannan City along the way.
Chen Ze's consciousness suddenly left, leaving Shen Wansan standing there in a daze.
In Chen Ze's mansion.
Chen Ze, who had been lying down, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and stretched his muscles.
Zhao Linger saw Chen Ze coming back and immediately trotted over, "Master, you are back, are you done?"
"Yeah." Chen Ze simply agreed and stretched his waist.
"Master, the food is ready, do you want to eat now?"
"If you don't say it, I don't think I'm a little hungry. What delicious food have you prepared today?"
"Master, go and see for yourself, they are all your favorite dishes."
"Linger is still the most sensible."
Zhao Linger has already pulled Chen Ze to the dining table.
