C74 Lifting Wind
"It's him?"
Qin Shi was stunned when he saw that man.
Wasn't this booth owner the one who gifted him the burning book back in Wasteland Town?
"Isn't he in a desolate town? Why would it appear in the ancient city? " Curious, Qin Shi stepped forward and squatted down. "Boss, what a coincidence. So you've also come to the ancient city?"
"It was fated for us to meet again after a thousand miles, but we didn't get to know each other until we brushed shoulders."
The stall owner's words were still mysterious and hard to fathom.
"Shitou, who is this? You talk a lot. " In the book, Yu curled his lips and asked.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was stunned and puzzled. "Sister Yu, you don't know him?"
In the book, Yu blinked and said with a puzzled face, "Of course, how would I know this kind of uncle." Previously, my soul was injured, so I was always in a coma. The first person I saw when I woke up was you. "
"So that's how it is …"
Qin Shi stared blankly and understood in his heart. He explained, "It was him back then who gifted me Burning Book. In all honesty, he is actually my benefactor. If not for him, how would I have known such a beautiful Sis Yu? "
"Huh?"
Unexpectedly, Yu in the book suddenly screamed out …
Hearing the scream, Qin Shi panicked and asked anxiously, "Sister Yu, what's wrong?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi nearly died from anger after hearing what Yu Zhong said. With a bitter face, she said with a wronged tone, "No, no. I just found out that I was in the hands of this uncle? "My God, my chastity, my innocence, wuu …
"…"
"Why don't you just die."
Qin Shi didn't pay any more attention to Zhong Yu as he unhappily cursed her. Instead, he directly looked at the stall owner in front of him. Although the stall owner's words were vague, Qin Shi and him were inextricably linked.
Just as Qin Shi had said, he was Qin Shi's benefactor.
If not for the gift he had given Burning Book, he would have died a long time ago without the help of Jade in the book.
"Boss, last time in Barren Town, I didn't have time to thank you for the gift of the treasure. This time, no matter what, I must make it up. " Because of the jade in the book, Qin Shi was extremely respectful to the vendor. As he spoke, he took out all of the mid-grade spirit stones he had and passed them to the vendor.
But in the book, Yu said in surprise: "Shitou, are you crazy? That's all of your Spirit Stones. "
"These spirit stones, compared to Sister Yu, what are they worth? To me, there's nothing more valuable in this world than knowing Sister Yu. " Unexpectedly, Qin Shi's words were very serious.
The Jade in the book trembled and no longer said anything.
"So it turns out that my position in his heart is so important …" As she thought of this, her eyes became a bit moist. Realizing that she had lost control of herself, she tried her best to restrain herself. She murmured, feeling wronged, "That time, you were still so fierce towards me …"
"I did it for your own good, didn't I?"
The corner of Qin Shi's eyes twitched as he said helplessly.
"That won't do, I'll decide in the future!" Unexpectedly, the Jade in the book actually took out this little girl's trump card, acting like a spoiled child! After hearing this, Qin Shi's bones softened. In the end, he was willing to admit defeat.
Seeing the large amount of Medial Grade Spirit Stones, the stall owner raised his hand to stop him, "Young Benefactor, you must be joking. The last time you said it, it was an ancient book that was fated to be with you. It chose you, so it has nothing to do with me. "
"But …"
"There are no buts. All causes are destined for this life." The stall owner shook his head and said, "Karma and reincarnation, these are your fate. For example, you and I know each other because of fate, and now that we have met again because of fate, isn't that so? "
Qin Shi pondered over a series of words in his mind.
After careful deliberation, he seemed to have grasped something, but it also seemed as if he hadn't. However, he understood one thing: fate. Back then, the reason he was in the market was because the booth owner had attracted him even more soundlessly than he did.
And this time, it was also filled with countless threads.
"If I did not offend the Cloud Tripod Sect, I would not have come to the Li Fire Sect. If I did not come to the Li Fire Sect, I would not have met this stall owner. "Could all of these be due to karma?" Qin Shi couldn't make up his mind, so he gave up in the end.
Qin Shi still felt uncomfortable after being pushed off.
After all, the Burning Book was an ancient treasure, and if word of its value were to spread, it would attract many major powers to come and fight for it. Yet, he still felt guilty for just getting it for free.
It was not like he could speak directly to this stall owner about the matter of burning books.
What if the stall owner knew of the value of Burning Books and insisted on taking them back? Wouldn't he lose the jade in the book? He was unwilling to part with the jade in the book.
"Boss, I won't let you down without merit. I just want to express my feelings." When he thought of this, Qin Shi became worried and told the boss once again. He didn't like owing something to others. Moreover, he wouldn't have to worry about the issue of Burning Books being taken back once he paid them back.
"You really want to thank me?" Seeing Qin Shi's persistence, the vendor said.
"En!" Qin Shi nodded in a straightforward manner, his eyes filled with sincerity.
"Alright, I do have a request." The vendor nodded in satisfaction and said.
"Boss, please speak your mind. As long as you don't go against morality and don't lose your ethics, I, Qin Shi, am absolutely duty-bound." Qin Shi said this with absolute certainty. As far as he was concerned, helping this booth owner was like helping a jade in a book.
The vendor nodded his head in satisfaction. Suddenly, he took out three wooden beads from his chest. The wooden bead was emitting a faint fluorescent light. The fluorescent light was like a moon wheel; it was quite mysterious. The three wooden beads were pierced by a golden thread, forming a bracelet.
"Such pure Spiritual Energy …"
As soon as she saw the wooden bead, the jade in the book was surprised.
Sweeping his eyes over the bracelet, Qin Shi was puzzled. "Boss, what about you?"
"These three wooden beads were my harvest not long ago. At that time, I thought that these were just three ordinary wooden beads, but unexpectedly, once I met a fierce beast in the wilderness, these three wooden beads exploded with spirit energy, saving my life. "
"Later on, I learned that these three wooden pearls already possessed intelligence. It was only because of what happened last time, that they had received quite a bit of injuries, and that they needed to be nurtured with spiritual power every day. "However, I, a rank 1 commoner, am not a cultivator. I see that you have the Spiritual Root and Immortal Bone of a young benefactor. I hope that you can help me look after the three wooden beads." As the booth owner said this, he handed the three spirit pearls over to Qin Shi.
However, after he finished listening, Qin Shi felt that something was wrong.
There was some hesitation in his eyes. He tried to spread his spiritual energy to the vendor, but the owner's spiritual energy was still around him. The stall owner didn't feel any strange and didn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Looks like it's my vile heart. This boss really doesn't have any spiritual energy at all. "
Gradually withdrawing his spirit energy, Qin Shi took the three wooden pearls and promised, "Boss, don't worry. I will definitely keep these three wooden pearls for you. Where does the boss live? When they recover, I'll return them to you. "
"Home?" "Haha, all of the four seas are home."
The booth owner shook his head and said in a carefree manner.
"This... Then when the Wood Pearl is fully recovered, how will I return it to you? " Qin Shi was helpless.
"Fate!"
The booth owner shook his head and only said one word, a word that drew the two of them together.
After hearing this word, Qin Shi fell into a trance and finally shook his head and gave up. Although he didn't have much contact with the stall owner, he still understood more about the stall owner's personality. If he didn't want to say it, he would never say it.
Qin Shi sighed, "Boss, can you tell me your name?"
"Name? I can't remember. " In a trance, an undetectable vicissitudes of life flashed across the eyes of the vendor. The vicissitudes of life could only be felt after experiencing the ravages of time. "I have been free and easy for half my life. You can call me Windraiser."
"Senior Windraiser!"
Qin Shi did not pursue the matter. Instead, he respectfully cupped his fists and said.
Fu Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he took out a green Spirit Grass from the stall. There are a total of nine leaves of the spirit grass. The leaves curled together and said, "This senior shouldn't have you call him in vain." "This spirit plant has a stalk of spirit grass. Even if I keep it, it won't be of any use, so I'll just give it to you …"
"This …"
When he saw the spirit grass, Qin Shi was about to refuse.
But at this time, the book inside Yu said in surprise, "Spirit Sealing Grass?"
"Spirit Sealing Grass?" Qin Shi asked in surprise.
"Shitou, you must obtain this Spirit Sealing Grass. It is a necessary herb to concoct the Spirit Sealing Pill. "Right now, you're already at the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Tempering Stage. As long as you have this Spirit Sealing Grass, breaking through to the Spirit Sealing Realm will be just around the corner." The Jade in the book said solemnly.
Hearing the words of the Jade in the book, Qin Shi's heart wavered.
It had been a while since he'd broken through to the ninth level of the Spirit Tempering Stage, but he still hadn't felt the bottleneck yet. Currently, the Spirit Sealing Grass was right in front of him. As long as he could obtain it, he would have a high chance of breaking through to the Spirit Sealing Realm.
Not many people could withstand this sort of temptation.
Qin Shi was the same. However, he felt that he owed Fu Feng for the matter of the burning of books. How could he still have the face to take the Spirit Sealing Grass?
"Haha, little Benefactor, there is no need for you to take it to heart." Last time, I gave you an ancient book. This time, I only gave you two spiritual herbs, but you've already nurtured three wooden pearls for me, right? "After careful calculation, I still owe you one more time." Seeing that Qin Shi was in a difficult situation, Fu Feng smiled disapprovingly.
Hearing this, Qin Shi paused.
In the end, he no longer tried to shirk his responsibilities. This Spirit Sealing Grass was indeed very important to him.
"Senior Fu Feng, Qin Shi will remember this. If you can find a place with Qin Shi in the future, Qin Shi will definitely make you go through fire and water without any hesitation." Qin Shi took the herb with gratitude.
Fu Feng nodded in satisfaction.
After that, Qin Shi stayed and chatted with Fu Feng.
Although Fu Feng wasn't a cultivator, he was able to see through the mortal world. Qin Shi remembered every word he said with all his heart. These words gave him an inexplicable feeling of enlightenment.
It wasn't until dusk that Qin Shi took a look at the sky and had no choice but to leave.
After leaving, he didn't stay in the ancient city for long, but instead went straight back to the Li Huo Sect. After all, the current him, even if he stayed in the ancient city and wandered around aimlessly, the small amount of spirit stones he had would not even be enough for him to get rid of his hunger.
At this moment, after Qin Shi had gradually walked far away, Fu Feng suddenly became more and more serious.
A terrifying spirit energy suddenly gushed out of his lightly waved sleeves and swept through the world. The spiritual force was so strong that even the sky above the ancient city turned dark. After that, his eyes turned cold as he frowned and muttered to himself, "Strange, the time is not right yet. Swallowing the Heavens has already hatched?"
