The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 81 An unexpected gain
The next morning, Ryan was taken by Qiu Sheng to Renjia Town to buy the items on the list. Renjia Town is a big town with many merchants coming and going, so everything Uncle Jiu wants can be bought here.

Under the guidance of a local named Qiu Sheng, Ryan quickly found a suitable store to buy cinnabar, yellow paper, three kinds of animals, roosters, etc. Because he had money, Ryan bought more of each and chose the best ones. After hiring a town man to push the goods with a wheelbarrow, Ryan and Qiu Sheng returned to the charity cemetery. After checking the things, Uncle Jiu said to Ryan, "There is no need to buy such good ones. It's a waste of money."

Ryan unloaded the things from the wheelbarrow while saying to Uncle Jiu: "Master Lin, this book was left by a big devil over there. No one even dares to call him by his real name. So when I thought about dealing with the things he left behind, I tried to buy the best ones. After all, it's better to be prepared. Besides, I don't lack money, so why not spend money to buy peace of mind?"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked speechless, it seemed they had no understanding of the mentality of rich people at all.

The cleaning was done until 3:45 p.m. Uncle Jiu, wearing a feather crown and an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, walked to the center of the yard with a whisk in one hand and a bell in the other. The yard had already been set up with a red rope and talisman paper hanging on it, and the diary was placed at the center of the formation.

Uncle Jiu walked to the square table in front of the formation. The square table was already filled with offerings, incense and candles, and in the middle of the table was the tablet of the founder of Maoshan. Uncle Jiu picked up three incense sticks and lit them on the red candles on the table, then bowed three times respectfully and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the tablet.

Then he turned to Ryan and said, "Grab the red string left by the magic circle. I will activate the magic circle in a moment and transmit all the memories contained in it to you through the red string. However, in order to avoid triggering a possible counterattack from this evil creature, the memories transmitted will not contain anything related to cultivation."

Ryan bowed and replied, "Thank you, Master Lin. I just want to learn from his memory what conspiracy he has against my sect. As for the evil things he practices, I don't want to touch them either."

After getting ready, Uncle Jiu stepped on the steps of the Yu Bu and rang the bells while chanting. At this time, Ryan saw that all the talismans also vibrated slowly to the rhythm of Uncle Jiu's spell.

Suddenly, a black light emerged from the diary and shot towards Uncle Jiu, but was blocked by the red light on the magic circle. The two sides were deadlocked for a few seconds, and Ryan heard Uncle Jiu shout, "Please come to me, Grandmaster."

The black light was quickly suppressed, and then a white mist-like thing flowed toward Ryan along the red rope of the magic circle. Ryan closed his eyes and began to receive memories, not noticing the shock in Uncle Nine's eyes when he looked at him.

The memories Ryan received were mainly part of the memories of the year when Voldemort released the basilisk and a very small part of the soul fragments without attributes. However, Voldemort obviously hid many key points when making the Horcruxes. This memory only showed that Hagrid was expelled because of the spider. However, Ryan noticed that Voldemort was wearing a ring inlaid with a black gemstone on his hand, which should be another Horcrux, the Resurrection Stone.

In addition, a big unexpected gain for Ryan was that he learned the snake language. It was obvious that when Uncle Nine asked the ancestor to possess his body just now, there was a collision with Voldemort's Horcrux, which made Ryan see something deeper.

However, this kind of snake language is an acquired version, which requires practice to be able to speak well. It is not as good as the innate version that Harry and Voldemort are proficient in.

Ryan opened his eyes after receiving the memory and found that Uncle Jiu was sitting on a chair beside him, looking a little tired. Wencai and Qiusheng were serving tea and water to Uncle Jiu.

After seeing Ryan sober up, Uncle Jiu said, "My friend, this thing is indeed from a big devil. There is a trap hidden inside that almost made me fall. Fortunately, I asked the ancestor for help in time so that the trap did not hurt me. Alas, I was careless." Ryan felt very sorry to see Uncle Jiu so tired, so he took out a batch of newly harvested sunlight crystals from the space bag and handed them to Uncle Jiu: "I'm sorry to bother you, Taoist Lin. These are some of my medicines. They contain the power of life and sunlight. Can you see if they can be used?"

Uncle Jiu took the can of sunlight crystals and felt it carefully, then immediately said to Ryan, "My friend, this thing is very useful to me. I'm going to go into retreat, so don't worry about me." After that, he walked into the main room and closed the door.

At lunchtime, Uncle Nine came out of the house. When he saw Ryan, he thanked him, "There shouldn't be many treasures like this now. Thank you so much for giving me such a precious thing."

"At least this thing is not so precious over there." Ryan said. "So can you tell me why you think it is precious?"

"Because the extremely positive and righteous aura here can just neutralize the evil aura in the environment, I used it to practice in one afternoon and broke through a small bottleneck. How can something like this that can solve major problems in the Dharma Ending Age not be precious?"

After saying that, Uncle Jiu paused and said, "No wonder the foreigners are so powerful. With this, they are not afraid of evil spirits, so naturally they are powerful now."

Ryan was a little amused by Uncle Jiu's guess, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Uncle Jiu came back to his senses and said to Ryan: "I heard you say that you came to Middle-earth to seek the truth, is that right?"

"Yeah, unfortunately I have visited several places, but each family attaches great importance to their own heritage, so I have gained nothing."

"Then are you willing to take me as your master?" Uncle Jiu suddenly asked.

Ryan was very surprised after hearing this. Although this was one of his purposes, he still asked Uncle Jiu curiously: "Master Lin, my elders told me before I came here that the Middle-earth must repeatedly examine disciples. It is not easy to join a sect in the Middle-earth, let alone someone like me who has another heritage. Why did you accept me as a disciple so easily today?"

Uncle Jiu looked a little embarrassed and said, "On the one hand, this is the Dharma Ending Age, and demons are wreaking havoc on the world. I think it's definitely not okay to be as self-satisfied as before. On the other hand, when the Grand Master possessed me just now, I saw that the golden light of merit on your body was even greater than that of my head master. It looked like it only came from saving tens of thousands of people. This proves that there is nothing to criticize about your character. Besides, merit is the most important thing in this world, and I also hope to benefit from your merit."

After resolving his doubts, Ryan said that his sect did not forbid disciples from taking others as their masters, but only prohibited disciples from learning some evil ways, so he was happy to take Master Lin as his master.
