After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 92

"Is it expensive? I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, you get what you pay for. Rare items naturally have a higher price!"

Bai Lu explained that she had actually given random prices, and if asked to re-quote the price of each item of used goods, she certainly wouldn't be able to do so correctly.

The cultivator still paid a deposit, a low-grade spirit stone, and even added a communication talisman, just like adding someone on WeChat.

Knowing that the path of modern entertainment could be followed in the world of cultivation, Bai Lu felt at ease.

It seems we still need to make a plan to make the cultivation world a bigger and stronger market!
However, before that, we need to solve the problem of charging difficulties.

In the absence of power grid lines, are there any alternative methods?

Bai Lu thought of the Thunder Talisman, a talisman that can store the power of lightning. Could it replace a power bank?
The egret seemed to be deep in thought, considering going back to conduct an experiment.

Just as Bailu was about to put the TV away, she felt a gaze. She looked up and met the eyes of a cultivator dressed in black robes. His gaze was intense. When he saw Bailu looking at him, he slightly curved the corners of his mouth and strode over.

Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. This person looked familiar; it was as if she had seen him somewhere before!
Seeing the man rushing towards her, she was a little scared and subconsciously took two steps back. The black-robed cultivator paused, his expression turning from sunny to gloomy, becoming somber.

Like a sudden change of expression, the egret became even more frightened.

His steps slowed as he walked slowly toward Bailu's stall, his hand tracing the few remaining old items, his tone light and airy: "Bailu."

She raised an eyebrow and looked at someone.

Bai Lu gave a professional smile: "Fellow Daoist..."

“Fellow Daoist?” He glanced at her, then snorted as if he were angry: “These things of yours are quite novel. Where did you get them?”

Some people who saw him immediately made way for him, and some even quietly left, as if he were some kind of plague god.

When Bailu heard this person call out her name, her ominous premonition grew even stronger: "Fellow Daoist... I obtained this by chance."

"Fellow Daoist again?" The cultivator in black chuckled. "You really don't remember me? You've actually forgotten me?"

As she spoke, she actually began to feel somewhat aggrieved.

"Uh... Fellow Daoist is..."

Bai Lu racked her brains but still couldn't remember who this person was. After all... how many people could a shut-in know besides the few people he often interacted with in his sect?

Moreover, what handsome guy would remember a Qi Refining cultivator like her, who is so ordinary that no one would pay attention to her if she were thrown on the street in the cultivation world?
Yes, the man in front of me is an extremely handsome guy, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a smile at the corner of his mouth that makes him look somewhat bewitching and wicked.

He glanced at Bai Lu, but didn't mention his name. He parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Since you obtained these things by chance, how about I buy this TV set for ten low-grade spirit stones?"

The egret's smile almost froze.

She was grinding her back teeth so hard they were about to break. Was her TV some kind of cheap, worthless thing?
Although it has been used for a long time and is a bit worn, it still costs ten low-grade spirit stones!
You're thinking about ass!
However, she did not want to offend the customer, especially one who knew her, so she politely declined.

The black-robed cultivator's face instantly darkened, and he snorted again, "Then I'll just take it by force!"

Without warning, he made his move, a golden beam of light shooting from his hand and striking Bai Lu's stall.

Bai Lu was startled. They were acquaintances, after all. How could they suddenly attack like that?!

She immediately activated the protective array around the stall, and a light screen instantly rose up, blocking the attack of the black-robed cultivator. However, the protective array broke in just a moment, showing that this person had a high level of cultivation.

The egret took a step back and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, let's talk this out! We've known each other for a while..."

The black-robed cultivator smiled, and then he smiled again—

"Now that we've met, tell me my name."

Egret: "..."

She really can't remember!

Could it be that I really offended him and forgot about it?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
With her personality, if she offends someone, she'll remember him for life and will avoid him whenever she sees him. How could she possibly forget him!

"I'm so sorry, I really forgot. Do you know my name? Please enlighten me—"

The egret said awkwardly.

"Humph--"

"Hey, hey, hey, not again! I'm calling for backup!"

Seeing that he still wanted to make a move, Bailu knew she was no match for him, so she decisively crushed a communication talisman. This was a distress talisman provided to each stall owner by the market management; as long as it was crushed, the market management personnel could come immediately.

After all, those who collect stall rent have to do their jobs, at the very least ensuring the personal safety of the stall owners in this market.

The egret's thinking is very simple—

What kind of kind-hearted person would collect protection money?!

At least it can stop people so I can slip away!

However, to her utter surprise, while the market management personnel did arrive, the leader's expression changed from indifference to obsequiousness upon seeing the man in black. He trotted forward and respectfully greeted, "Master Uncle Xinghu!!"

Egret: "..."

Her emotions were incredibly volatile!

Having enjoyed smooth sailing in the modern world for only a short time, Bai Lu returned to the cultivation world and became nothing more than dust at the very bottom.

The words "Master Xinghu" shattered her hopes. She took a deep breath and pushed the portable TV stand over: "It's yours, no money required."

His disheartened appearance was incredibly pitiful.

When the egret heard this name, it immediately remembered who this person was!

—After all, she thought about him day and night, and dared not forget him at all. She just wanted him to return after completing his studies and protect her!
Who knows?!
They came up and smashed her stall.

evil creature!

Yun Xinghu is the sect leader's personal disciple and a top genius of the Bu Liuxing Sect. He is about the same age as Bai Lu, and his cultivation level... Bai Lu couldn't see through him, but he told her when he left that Sect Leader Wang required him to be in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm before he could leave seclusion!

In other words, his current cultivation level is at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. It's true that comparisons are odious; how can there be such a huge difference between people?
Sect Leader Wang regarded him as the hope that could lead their sect, the Unyielding Sect, back to its peak!
Who else can the egrets attract?
Is this the fat steward? Even the fat steward has to be addressed as "Uncle-Master" with utmost respect!
Uncle-Master Gu Xing?

He and the sect leader are so close they're practically inseparable, how could he possibly help Bai Lu teach the sect leader's disciple a lesson?!
It's just an old TV set, give it to him, give it all to him!
We were old acquaintances, after all!

Bai Lu glanced at her "uncle" not far away out of the corner of her eye. They entered the sect together, so why is there such a big difference between them?
—Some people became senior uncles, while others had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!

That martial uncle actually attacked her!

Bai Lu was deeply affected when her long-cherished "backer" not only collapsed but also attacked her.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have taken him with me when we escaped from human traffickers! I would have let them rip out his heart, liver, and eyes!
The egret gritted its teeth in a somber tone!

She had gone through so much trouble to escape with this young master, and how much trouble had this burden caused her along the way? She even had to give him half of the steamed buns she begged for!

It was she who brought him to the sect, allowing his metal-type celestial spiritual root to be appreciated by the sect leader, which gave him the opportunity to get to where he is today.

He's really something now, coming back and actually hitting her!

You ungrateful wretch!

The egret's heart ached more than if it had a fishbone stuck in its throat.

It's all her fault. Her overflowing compassion made her feel like an adult with a young girl's soul. She couldn't bear to see the little star protector sold back then, so when she found a chance to escape, she resolutely took him with her!

Do you know how difficult it is for one child to carry another child away?

I wandered around for three months before accidentally stumbling upon the Abhirati sect!
The hardships involved—the egret forgot.

Yun Xinghu reached out and steadyed the TV stand, looking at the listless egret, his lips pursed slightly.

The man from the market management office saw the television set being pushed over, then looked at the television set and then at his Uncle Xinghu—what was going on? His Uncle Xinghu wasn't there to uphold justice, but was the culprit who caused the stall owner to cry for help?!

Although I've never seen this before and it's quite novel, what makes me think I'm worthy of my uncle lowering himself to snatch it?

The man felt that the world had become a fantasy.

"Since you're so generous, then I'll accept it without hesitation." Yun Xinghu said, and with a wave of his hand, the mobile TV stand disappeared into his storage ring.

His movements were natural and elegant, without the slightest hesitation.

The man from the market management office stood aside, glanced at Bailu, then at Yunxinghu, and finally could only silently retreat to the side.

Now that Yun Xinghu had taken the television, Bai Lu began packing up her stall. She needed to cancel the lease before the stall's lease expired and get her deposit back—a deposit of one mid-grade spirit stone!
"Egret!"

Seeing that Bailu was really about to leave without saying a word to him, Yunxinghu quickly chased after her: "Are you angry? I'm not angry yet! I've only been gone for a few years, and you don't even remember me! Who was it that promised me they would remember me for the rest of their life!"

As he spoke, he looked at the egret with a forlorn and aggrieved expression.

Bai Lu stared at him for a while. The man in front of her could still vaguely resemble his childhood self. She stretched out two fingers and curved Yun Xinghu's lips upward. The latter smiled and revealed his neat, white teeth.

The smiling, sunny young man in front of me was completely different from the stern, sinister man I had seen before.

Bailu patted his head: "You were only twelve when you left, and now you're twenty-one. Nine whole years have passed, and your appearance has changed so much. It's normal that I don't recognize you! Besides, your aura is different now!"

Yun Xinghu grasped Bai Lu's wrist: "But I recognized you at a glance. Although you look different from when you were a child, I still recognized you!"

In the cultivation world, people are judged not only by their faces but also by their aura. The disguises of low-level cultivators are futile in the eyes of high-level cultivators. The bead given by Uncle Gu Xing can only conceal one's cultivation level and spiritual root, but it does not have the function of concealing one's aura.

The egret didn't know why its breath was the same as before—something was wrong!

She suddenly realized, where was her body with five spiritual roots?

Her body and the body with five spiritual roots are two independent entities. There should be two versions of her in this space-time!

What about the other her?
Or does her existence affect the existence of another body?

Or perhaps her body with five spiritual roots disappeared during the massacre?

The exact details about Bai Lu are currently unknown, but it is certain that when Yun Xinghu left, she was at the second level of Qi Refining, and she is still at the second level of Qi Refining now, with the same aura.

Bai Lu was only eight years old when she transmigrated to the world of cultivation, while Yun Xinghu was nine.

Actually, she only managed to join the Bu Liu Xing Sect because of Yun Xing's protection; otherwise, with her mixed spiritual roots, even a small sect like the Bu Liu Xing Sect wouldn't have wanted her.

They were allowed in, but one was in the outer sect and the other was being personally taught by the sect leader on the main peak, so they didn't have much time to meet.

Knowing that Yun Xinghu was living a comfortable life, Bailu envied him for a while before throwing herself into cultivation with peace of mind—after all, the novelty of cultivation hadn't worn off yet, and once that wore off, all she could think about was how to improve her cultivation level, because her cultivation speed was too slow.

She's so slow that even a tortoise can cultivate faster than her.

—Once you gain power, you'll want to make it stronger and stronger.

If you don't have the necessary qualifications, you can make up for it with time. At that time, Bai Lu was only thinking about how to improve her cultivation level and didn't care about anything else.

But back then, Yun Xinghu still cared a lot about her. He would always think of her when he had something good. Bai Lu was able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in just over ten years, which was inseparable from Yun Xinghu's secret feeding and guidance.

Yes, guidance. Even though they were the same age, Yun Xinghu was able to guide Bai Lu in his cultivation back then.

Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. After Yun Xinghu turned twelve, the sect leader sent him to a secret realm for "further study." Before leaving, he gave all his possessions to Bailu. Bailu spent them sparingly, but by the time they were all gone, he still hadn't returned.

Because of Yun Xinghu's influence, Bai Lu lived a pretty good life during the years he was still in the sect. After he left, the first year was still okay, the second and third years were barely manageable, and as time went on, the people in the sect almost forgot that she was a relative.

Some even thought that Yun Xinghu hadn't returned for so many years and might not be coming back at all. In addition, Wang Zongzhu had been in a bad mood for a period of time, so some people speculated that his disciple had died.

The egret was sad for a while.

But he is gone, and the living must look forward. Over the years, Bailu had almost forgotten Yunxinghu, so when she first saw him, she just felt that he looked familiar, but she didn't think of him at all.

So, while the egret was happy to see Yunxinghu after nine years, it also felt a little distant.

Seeing the egret so unfamiliar with him, Yun Xinghu felt very uncomfortable, so he kept trying to talk to the egret, trying to find that feeling from his childhood.
