Yang Zhengshan spent twenty thousand Spirit Stones, and when the shopkeeper of Lingyu Pavilion heard about it, he immediately came out and said with a smile, "Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am Yang Qi, the shopkeeper of Lingyu Pavilion, haha~~"
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yang. I am Yang Zhengshan!" Yang Zhengshan had already grown used to the form of address "fellow Daoist."

"Mm.
