nAfter listening to Shen Tian’s compliments, the crowd started to praise Shopkeeper Liu too.

n

n

n“That’s right! We were wrong about Shopkeeper Liu and the Sacred Spirit Workshop.”

n

n

n

n

n“No wonder he is the Sacred Spirit Workshop’s owner. He could see the inner beauty of this Spirit Ore! Respect!”

n

n

n“I take back my words about not coming back to the Sacred Spirit Workshop. Shopkeeper Liu, I apologize! You are a true businessman with a conscience!”

n

n

n“You knew the value of the item inside and yet put it in the shop waiting for people that have fate with it to buy it! You are smart!”

n

n

n“Next time, I’ll only visit the Sacred Spirit Workshop to buy Spirit Ores. Shopkeeper Liu is such an honest businessman!”

n

n

n

n

n“Only if everyone was as kind as Shopkeeper Liu, would the entire world be a much better place!”

n

n

n…

n

n

nWhile everyone was complimenting him, Shopkeeper Liu’s heart was dripping blood, but he forced himself to smile.

n

n

n“That’s my duty.

n

n

n

n

n“Thank you, everyone, for your support. The Sacred Spirit Workshop will have more good items in the future to repay your support!

n

n

n“Now that the treasure has found its rightful owner. I’m…

n

n

n“I’m very touched… Very touched…

n

n

n“Please excuse me for a while. I’m tearing up.”

n

n

n…

n

n

nIn the end, Shopkeeper Liu shed real tears, which fell onto the floor one after another.

n

n

n

n

nEveryone started to respect him.

n

n

nSee, that is the true definition of a businessman!

n

n

nHis honesty and generosity are indeed something everyone needs to learn from!

n

n

n…

n

n

nLi Lian’er stared at Shen Tian as though she was petrified.

n

n

nThe vice leader nudged her before she came back to her senses.

n

n

nLi Lian’er held the calabash seed that was emitting a rainbow glow and said firmly, “I cannot have this seed! My darling chose this Spirit Ore. How can I keep the fortuitous opportunity for myself!?”

n

n

nShen Tian smiled and said, “I’ve already said that I will not take a single cent if we have fate with each other. You can have it.”

n

n

n

n

n“But this is a priceless treasure! It is too precious for Lian’er!”

n

n

nAlthough Shen Tian wanted to keep the seed for himself badly, he wanted his black halo to disappear too.

n

n

nUnlike a skill book, this is solid and cannot be shared.

n

n

nSplit the seed into half?

n

n

nNot possible!

n

n

nWhat’s the value in this seed if it’s damaged?

n

n

n…

n

n

nShen Tian had no choice but to give the entire seed to Li Lian’er. Otherwise, he would remain unlucky as ever.

n

n

nThat’s not happening!

n

n

nShen Tian quickly said, “That’s not entirely right, Fairy Lian’er. Although this seed is a treasure, the fate between us is worth so much more!

n

n

n“When everyone was questioning me, only you believed me.

n

n

n“Everything happens for a reason. Unless do you think our fate is nothing compared to this seed?” Shen Tian asked warmly with a smile.

n

n

nAll the girls were charmed by his look and words. Thus, a commotion broke out in the Sacred Spirit Workshop again.

n

n

n

n

n“Woah! You are soooo sweet!”

n

n

n“See! I knew he was not a scammer!”

n

n

n“I know, right? He should be Brother Celestial!”

n

n

n“I’m so jealous of Fairy Lian’er! She only spent 50,000 Spirit Stones to have a fate with Brother Celestial! I want it too!”

n

n

n“Brother Celestial! Can you see if there is fate between us too? I don’t mind being the third party!”

n

n

n“Me too! Me too! I just want to spend one night with you!”

n

n

n…

n

n

nLi Lian’er’s face blushed as she listened to all the comments.

n

n

nSo… this seed is the proof of the fate between Brother Shen and me?

n

n

nOr is this a love token?

n

n

nLi Lian’er’s imagination ran wild.

n

n

nShe held the seed in her hand carefully and said, “Brother Shen, I’ll nurture this seed to the best of my ability and let it grow!”

n

n

nLi Lian’er had made up her mind.

n

n

nShe would make sure the seed germinated so that if she met Brother Shen again, he would be proud of her!

n

n

nShe would not let Brother Shen down!

n

n

n…

n

n

nSuddenly, a creepy voice came from the Sacred Spirit Workshop.

n

n

n“Since no one wants the seed, I will keep it!”

n

n

nDense black smoke spread and quickly engulfed the entire Sacred Spirit Workshop. Then, a shadow appeared and rushed toward Li Lian’er, trying to snatch the seed.

n

n

n“Who are you? How dare you mess around in my Sacred Spirit Workshop!”

n

n

nAnother man appeared in the workshop and pounced at the intruder.

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nAn intense battle erupted in the smoke, but soon, a man was sent flying out of the smoke and landed on the ground, badly hurt!

n

n

nIt was the Sacred Spirit Workshop’s guardian!

n

n

n“Wow, there was actually a Golden Core Perfected One stationed in Sacred Spirit Workshop? Not bad!

n

n

n“However, I’m the Patriarch! You are no match!”

n

n

nThe man covered in smoke laughed loudly, before he focused his sights on Li Lian’er again.

n

n

nThere were many experts in Myriad Spirit Garden, and Li Lian’er was the daughter of someone with great power. He had already made a plan for his escape. Although it was very risky, it was worth it!

n

n

nAs long as he managed to snatch the seed and sell it to a Holy-Land or Grotto-Heaven, he would be rich!

n

n

nHe was only five meters away!

n

n

nAlthough the seed was not in his grasp yet, he could still feel the power it emitted!

n

n

n“Ranked 36th on the Spiritual Wood List, Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash Seed. It is powerful, indeed! I can finally enjoy the rest of my life!” he exclaimed in excitement.

n

n

nSuddenly, a voice appeared out of nowhere. “Oh? Really?”

n

n

nThen, that person started chanting in the Sacred Spirit Workshop.

n

n

n“Befall! The Holy Water! Come! My Lotus Sword!”

n

n

nMany sword auras appeared as the chanting continued and formed the shape of a lotus flower. Then, it divided into two flowers, then doubled and doubled again… The entire room was filled with lotuses in no time!

n

n

nThere were so many lotuses that even the sunlight could not shine into the workshop.

n

n

n“Supreme Wine is made just for Grand White! Good wine!”

n

n

nAfter the chanting came to an end, the condensed blade aura flew out like an arrow.

n

n

nThe black smoke dispersed instantly and sunlight bathed the Sacred Spirit Workshop again!

n

n

nAt the same time, a loud scream echoed. “Argh!!!”

n

n

nThen, a white-robbed man appeared in the center of the Sacred Spirit Workshop. He had long hair, a wine gourd in his hand, and his whole person exuded a strong aura.

n

n

nHe looked satisfied after taking another sip of wine, but his sword made him look stern. Yet, his face was very handsome!

n

n

nIf there was a Celestial Swordsman, he must be the one!

n

n

nUnderneath his feet, there was an old man in a black coat. His dantian was pierced, and he was unable to fight anymore.

n

n

n…

n

n

n“It’s him! The genius in Grand White Grotto-Heaven! Lotus Swordsman, Li Changge!”

n

n

n“The fellow who lost looks like an outsider evil cultivator. His name is Negar, the Patriarch! Supposedly, he is a powerful Golden Core cultivator!”

n

n

n“He could materialize the sword auras into a lotus. Has he broken through the greater mastery of the Lotus Sword Sutra?”

n

n

n“He defeated Negar at such a young age! That’s so strong!”

n

n

n“He may be good-looking, but he’s not comparable to our Brother Celestial!”

n

n

n“I prefer Brother Celestial too. I don’t like men who drink!”

n

n

n“I know, right? Who knows what they’ll do when they are drunk. There might even be domestic violence! Brother Celestial is a much better choice!”

n

n

n“I think so too! Brother Celestial is more handsome too!”

n

n

n“ 1!”

n

n

n…

n

n

nThe crowd’s comments slowly dumbfounded Li Changge. For the first time, he was not the focus of discussion.

n

n

nThen what’s the point of me showing up in this style!?

n

n

nTo make the matter worse, his beloved sister, Li Lian’er, was staring at another man without even bothering to greet him!

n

n

nLi Changge was deeply annoyed by it!
