Chapter 2834

"Actually, the name Luojia Mountain sounds quite nice too," Yun Xi nodded slightly.

"Indeed. It is said that Luojia Mountain was once the place where the great monk Master Xingzhi took his vows, hence the name. However, the Luo family claims that 'Luojia' is a homophone for 'Luo Family Mountain.' Regardless, no one truly knows the origin of the name. The only thing that brings me joy is that the scenery of Luojia Mountain is genuinely beautiful."

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Shen Zhang’s eyes. "Actually, I still like Luojia Mountain very much."

Yun Xi smiled faintly. In truth, everyone harbors a hidden affection for their hometown, and Yun Xi was no exception. He held an indescribable sentiment for his former Yun Village.

However, his parents had already passed away. The only ties he left behind in the Vermilion Bird Plane were his siblings. If he had the chance, he would visit them; if not, he was at ease with their well-being. As for the generations that followed, he had no such concerns.

"Because that is your home," Wang Lanxuan spoke first. "As long as it is your home, no matter where it is, you will always feel that its scenery is the most beautiful."

"I suppose so," Shen Zhang nodded slightly, offering no rebuttal. He then added, "The water route from Posuo City to Luojia Mountain takes half a month. I have prepared fishing rods. You can go fishing when we arrive."

Yun Xi chuckled lightly. "That sounds good. Since we have nothing else to do, we might as well pass the days fishing."

Primarily, this was Shen Zhang’s kindness, otherwise Yun Xi might not have agreed. To be honest, Yun Xi did not mind these trivialities. During seclusion, closing his eyes could span countless years. For him and Wang Lanxuan, they could simply meditate in their cabins to pass the time. However, seeing Shen Zhang’s goodwill, they did not refuse.

Moreover, traveling by boat was also a form of cultivation. For them, it might be a pleasant experience.

Over the next few days, Yun Xi and Wang Lanxuan’s daily routine consisted of drinking tea, playing chess, fishing, or reading together and discussing their cultivation experiences.

They were extremely leisurely.

About four days later, Shen Zhang arrived again. "Wangzhi, Brother Wang, we are approaching the ferry crossing. We need to change some supplies and will rest for a day. If you are interested, you can go around the ferry area to look around."

Yun Xi and Wang Lanxuan exchanged a smile upon hearing this.

Wang Lanxuan asked, "Are there any local specialties at the ferry ahead?"

"Yes. There is a fruit called Fish Melon. It grows in the water and is said to look like a fish. Its taste is very sweet and fragrant. The locals here quite like it. However, it is usually only available in spring, so most people harvest it and make it into dried Fish Melon or Fish Melon pastries, which can also be bought here."

Shen Zhang, being someone who traveled everywhere, always provided satisfactory answers to such questions.

Yun Xi said to Wang Lanxuan, "Why don’t we go out and take a look later?"

Wang Lanxuan had no objections. "Then let’s go out and see."

Soon, the boat docked. Shen Zhang organized some people to purchase supplies, while Yun Xi and Wang Lanxuan disembarked and walked around on land.

Wang Lanxuan and Yun Xi were not particularly interested in the so-called Fish Melon. They came ashore merely to observe the lives of the people here.

Everyone’s life and experiences differed. Through their eyes, their insights would naturally vary.

"Wangzhi, look," Wang Lanxuan pointed to the side. They discovered a book stall here.

Yun Xi and Wang Lanxuan approached. Both being scholars by origin, they naturally cherished books.

"Boss, why are you selling books here?" Yun Xi looked at the books, picked one up at random, and flipped through it. Finding that the content had a certain depth, he asked.

A very gentle person emerged. He gave off a sense of great approachability. "My books are only sold to those with affinity. If you have affinity, you can naturally buy them. If you lack affinity, even if you wish to buy, you may not find me."

"Then how do you sell your books?" Yun Xi asked curiously.

The man replied, "Each person can only choose one book. You must find the book based on your own intuition. If you find it, it is yours. If you cannot find it, even if you offer thousands or tens of thousands of gold, I will not sell it."

Yun Xi was slightly stunned. He looked at the books in front of him.

Although there were only about twenty books displayed, for some reason, Yun Xi felt that the books he saw at first glance seemed different from those currently before him.

"Hmm?" Yun Xi was slightly surprised.

"You noticed, didn’t you?" the boss said. "My book stall has spirituality. The books on it change constantly. Therefore, finding a book depends on your opportunity."

Yun Xi looked at the books before him. He closed his eyes. Strangely, although his eyes were closed, he could feel the books below calling to him.

This one is not it. This one is not it either. Wait, this one. Yun Xi reached out and directly grabbed a book.

Yun Xi opened his eyes and looked at the book in front of him. There was only one character on the cover: Change.

Yun Xi did not examine the content closely. His intuition told him this was the book, so he put it away and then said to Wang Lanxuan, "Brother Wang, you try too."

Wang Lanxuan, of course, did not refuse. He imitated Yun Xi, closing his eyes. In an instant, he felt the call emanating from these books.

Similarly, relying on his intuition, he grabbed a book and said, "This one."

Wang Lanxuan’s book also had only one character: Void.

A smile appeared on the boss’s face. He then said, "Since you have affinity, you may take them."

"Boss, you haven’t mentioned the price of the books yet," Wang Lanxuan said.

"If you have affinity, they are given to you for free," the boss smiled lightly. "I only hope that after learning from these books, you will adhere to your original heart." As he finished speaking, the boss and the book stall vanished before their eyes.

At this moment, Yun Xi and Wang Lanxuan knew they had encountered a master.

"Liangchen, who is this?" Yun Xi called out to Liangchen.

"It is the Immortal Emperor Ouyang Mingyue," Liangchen did not hide anything from Yun Xi. "Yun Xi, your luck is truly good. These are cultivation techniques gifted to you by the Immortal Emperor. They are suitable for you."

Yun Xi was slightly stunned. He then said to Wang Lanxuan, "Brother Wang, put the books away."

Wang Lanxuan possessed a storage ring given to him by Yun Xi.

Wang Lanxuan nodded slightly and then stored the books.

At this time, they noticed that although people were coming and going, it seemed no one had discovered that they had bought books here, nor had anyone noticed that there had ever been a book stall here.

"Who exactly is this person, to possess such divine abilities?" Wang Lanxuan exclaimed in admiration.

"The Master of the Immortal Realm, Immortal Emperor Ouyang Mingyue," Yun Xi answered Wang Lanxuan.
