Thank You for Your Patronage

Seeing Lin Xiao's apparent success, Jiang Youfu said with surprise and admiration:

Wow, Brother Xiao, you found so many so quickly! That's amazing! I'll go look for more right away!

As he spoke, he carefully placed the book "A Brief History of the South Spirit Domain and North Spirit Domain" on top of the large stack of books that Lin Xiao was holding, making sure they wouldn't collapse. Then he turned around and returned to the place he had searched earlier to continue his search.

Lin Xiao:...

Carrying so many books was inconvenient, so he planned to temporarily store them in the storage ring that Senior Liao had given him, but he found that none of the books could be stored in the storage ring.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave the books on the ground for the time being and not put them into his private stash.

After all, he didn't know what was set up on these books. If he forcibly put them into his private collection, who knew what trouble it would cause? It was better not to do something so risky.

Since you're here to buy books, not to steal them or cause trouble, and the shop owner doesn't allow you to put things in the storage space, you should just obediently follow their rules.

Senior Liao usually had to complain about everything he did, was unusually quiet right now.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, and realized that he hadn't uttered a sound since entering the shop.

Perhaps they felt it was inconvenient because this was someone else's territory.

With his hands free, he resumed his search for books.

In Lin Xiao's opinion, the books here are not very expensive, with the average price of Jade Slip being between five and ten Spirit Stone.

Traditional paper books are cheaper, generally costing between one and three Spirit Stone per book.

Although at this price, the contents of these books are probably common knowledge to a cultivator who grew up in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it would be a waste to spend spirit Spirit Stone to buy them.

However, what the Lingxian Sect lacks most right now is this common knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Although Senior Liao and Liu Chun were there, able to occasionally expand their knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm in bits and pieces, they only talked about things as they came to mind, which was completely incomparable to the knowledge of people who had grown up here.

But having books would make things much better.

Books are the true essence of the transmission of human wisdom.

Therefore, Lin Xiao was prepared to suffer a major financial loss tonight.

However, the further he looked into the bookshelves, the more he realized that his preparations for a major financial blow were still insufficient.

The books here are getting more and more expensive.

Lin Xiao didn't rush to read the contents. Instead, he went straight to the innermost part and found that all the books there, whether they were traditional paper books or Jade Slip, were priced exactly the same: a whopping 500 Spirit Stone each!

He quickly looked to see what kind of books they were, and was surprised to find they were so expensive.

However, they discovered that these were all books on mental cultivation techniques, Cultivation Method, and spells that looked more advanced, as well as books related to the four arts of immortal cultivation.

Lin Xiao then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I won't be too upset if I miss out on these books for now.

After all, their sect doesn't really need these things.

The four "Basic XX Complete Guide" books in their sect are sufficient for the content of the four arts of cultivation.

Even someone as skilled in talisman making as Liu Chun wouldn't dare claim to have mastered all of the Complete Compendium of Basic Talisman Drawing.

With this in mind, Lin Xiao turned back decisively and returned to the inexpensive bookshelves to continue browsing.

More and more books that he had taken a liking to and piled up on the ground were growing around him.

By the time Jiang Youfu came back to him excitedly with several books, he was almost out of sight.

Looking at Lin Xiao, whose head was only partially visible behind a large pile of books, Jiang Youfu asked in confusion:

"Brother Xiao, why are there so many books piled up on the floor here?"

Lin Xiao was still engrossed in the book he was reading when he heard this and casually replied:

"Oh, these are all things I plan to buy."

Jiang Youfu:???

He once again looked down and scanned the pile of books around Lin Xiao from bottom to top and from left to right.

There must be at least several hundred books, right?

As expected of Brother Xiao, he really loves reading!

Thinking it over, he cleared a path for himself by parting a few books, then walked to Lin Xiao's side and saw him flipping through a traditional book, so he leaned over and started reading with him.

Later, the chief disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect said, "This was originally discovered by our sect, so it naturally belongs to us. You should leave immediately."

Li Sandao was furious, thinking: I would rather destroy it than give it to you ungrateful people!

...]

...]

Lin Xiao, still wanting more, prepared to turn to the next page, only to find that he couldn't continue.

The free trial period has ended.

So he immediately put the book into the pile of books next to him.

He turned his head and saw Jiang Youfu blinking at him.

Lin Xiao:...

"Well, Fuzi, I suddenly realized that we can't just buy history books. As long as they look decent, we can buy some to take back and read. Many of the unspoken rules, content, and events in the Immortal Cultivation Realm aren't necessarily recorded in those historical records."

You can look around more, and we can buy more; it can't hurt.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youfu understood.

He looked at Lin Xiao with bright eyes and nodded:

"Okay, Brother Xiao!"

As he spoke, he turned and ran back to the section of the bookshelf he had been browsing.

He saw several interesting books earlier but didn't dare to take them!

Now that Brother Xiao says he can take more, that's really great!

Several hours later, when the two met at the exit, they each used their own Object Control Technique to control a large pile of books as they walked towards them.

The books the two brought almost wiped out a third of the books in the low-price section of the entire bookstore.

Perhaps the owner of the bookstore hadn't expected anyone to come in and buy so many books at once, so the shop didn't have any containers prepared, and they had to let the customers carry the books themselves.

When the two of them stopped carrying the books at the exit, they saw that the small sign by the door had changed from "[Five Spirit Stone to leave without buying books, pay for books if you want to buy them]" to "[A total of 1,300 books, total price 5,122 Spirit Stone]".

More than five thousand yuan...

Lin Xiao glanced at the books in front of the two of them, and his heart bled.

But thinking that they would have a library in the future, and that once the library was built, all these books would be put in to enrich the content, he still managed to suppress his heartache and paid the more than five thousand Spirit Stone.

It has to be said, this bookstore is quite stingy; it won't open the exit until he's put the last Spirit Stone into the glowing opening.

After he finished paying, he saw that the sign had changed back to "[Purchased books can be accepted by the customer. Thank you for your patronage]".

Seeing this, Lin Xiao tried to put the books in front of him into his Storage Bag and found that they could be put in normally.

He and Jiang Youfu then put all the books into their respective Storage Bag.

After all the books were packed up, they headed towards the exit and left the bookstore.
