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!
