Revelation of the Way of Heaven

After choosing the spiritual potion, Qin Xiaochuan went to look at the mysterious talismans. The talismans were probably the cheapest items in the shop, costing only a few dollars each, which was why he was interested. However, he was disappointed after reading the descriptions of the talismans.

The so-called talismans are actually incantations written by Taoist priests on yellow talisman paper with cinnabar. To put it bluntly, they are a kind of thing that carries low-level skills. By using talismans, people can release a skill by consuming very little spiritual power, but these skills are basically D-level skills.

Of course, there are also wooden plaque-shaped talismans with C-level skills on them, but the price is correspondingly much higher.

The purpose of talismans is to help users conserve spiritual energy. They are not actually of much use to Qin Xiaochuan. However, his current skill set is too limited, so he can use talismans to make up for these shortcomings. Therefore, he selected more than a dozen talismans for earth, lightning, and wind skills. He just doesn't know if he can use high-level spiritual energy to use these talismans.

This adds up to over 500 yuan, which is almost equivalent to his food expenses for a week.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at Guo Shiyi. In addition to the disguise mask, she also bought some spirit-restoring potion, a few glow sticks, a flare (which she said might be useful), a camera watch, and other auxiliary supplies. Qin Xiaochuan calculated that she had spent about six or seven thousand yuan, which was something Qin Xiaochuan couldn't compare to at all.

After Guo Shiyi made her selections, she looked at the things in his hands, frowned, and asked, "Is this all you're buying?"

Qin Xiaochuan's facial muscles twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "Do you think everyone is as rich as you?" But he could only laugh it off and say, "Yeah, I don't need the other things either."

Guo Shiyi didn't take his words to heart. She looked around the shop again and finally chose a black dagger. Qin Xiaochuan glanced at the description and said that it had been specially blessed with spiritual power by a high monk and had a strong killing power against many demons, but the price was also high. This small dagger actually cost 5000 yuan.

He stuck out his tongue helplessly, while also being deeply shocked by the woman's ability to spend money recklessly.

Afterwards, the two went to the counter to pay. The shop owner was a man in his thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a faint smile on his face. He looked clean and handsome. The owner seemed very happy to see that they had bought so many things (mainly Guo Shiyi's purchases), and said, "These two young ladies must be visiting our store for the first time."

The two nodded.

The shop owner then said, "Our rule is that first-time customers get a 10% discount. Since you've bought so much on your first visit, it shows you trust us. So I've decided to give you an even better price: a 15% discount."

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi quickly thanked the boss, their goodwill towards him rising rapidly. They thought to themselves, "This boss really knows how to do business. He makes people want to come back again with just a few words."

After paying, the two said goodbye to the owner, lifted the curtain, and went back into the bookstore.

It was already past seven o'clock, and it was dark. Neon lights had been lit up on the street, and the bookstore had also turned on its lights. The lights were incandescent bulbs, probably with a low wattage, so the light inside the store was a bit dim. When they walked into the bookstore, they saw a young man standing on the counter, talking to the bookstore owner.

Perhaps hearing their commotion, the man suddenly turned to look at them. Qin Xiaochuan had only glanced at him before walking away, but when he looked into the man's eyes, he suddenly noticed that the man's pupils were blue. This discovery immediately captivated him.

He had never seen eyes like those before. They looked like the eyes of some demons in ancient supernatural tales, eerily strange. Although he knew that staring into someone's eyes was very impolite, once he saw them, he couldn't take his eyes off them. It was as if those eyes held a strange story that made him want to explore it.

Suddenly, he felt someone tug at his arm. He turned his head and saw Guo Shiyi looking at him with a frown. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have lost his senses.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at the man in surprise. The man was frowning and looking at him. The man's expression seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes were clearly black.

Qin Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, but didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly walked out the door with Guo Shiyi.

Once they were out on the street, and the neon lights had faded their silhouettes, he hurriedly said to Guo Shiyi, "I just saw that person's eyes were..."

"The blue one, that's the Blue Eye Technique," Guo Shiyi said casually.

"Blue Eye Technique? What is that?"

"The Azure Eye Technique is a type of soul-capturing skill that can control the consciousness of others."

"That's amazing!" He was somewhat surprised, and couldn't help but feel that the man from earlier was quite dangerous. But why did he use the Blue Eye Technique on him?

Just as he was thinking this, Guo Shiyi took something out of the things she had bought and handed it to him, saying, "This is for you."

Qin Xiaochuan took a look and saw that it was the dagger she had bought for 5000 yuan.

"This?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at her, flattered, thinking to himself, "We've only known each other for two days, and she's already giving me such an expensive gift. Is this really appropriate?" More importantly, even if it's a gift, it should be given to Guo Shiyi by him.

"Take it." Guo Shiyi tried to stuff the dagger into his bag without letting him explain.

"Hey, no~" Qin Xiaochuan was startled and quickly stopped her, "This is too expensive, I really can't accept it."

"Don't overthink it. I just think the operation next week is too dangerous, and we might not be able to take care of you. I'm letting you carry a self-defense weapon so that you can save yourself even if you encounter danger," Guo Shiyi said calmly.

"But this is really too expensive."

"Stop being so wishy-washy. We'll be working together next week, which means we're teammates now, and teammates should help each other out."

He found that Guo Shiyi was stubborn and he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he could only say helplessly, "Alright then, since you say so, I'll pay you back when I have the money."

"Whatever," Guo Shiyi said, seemingly unconcerned. "Let's hurry back to school now."

Qin Xiaochuan nodded, and together they hailed a taxi back to school. He first dropped her off at her dormitory entrance before returning to his own dormitory.

On the way, he called Han Kexin and told her everything that Mo Yu had said.

After learning about these things, Han Kexin remained silent for a long time before finally saying indifferently, "I understand," and then hung up the phone. Qin Xiaochuan felt that she definitely needed some time to process this news.

Back in his dorm room, he took out the dagger Guo Shiyi had given him. The dagger was about 30 centimeters long and had a copper wolf pattern on its casing. When he pulled it out, the blade was black, with only the edge turning blue and white. However, unexpectedly, the dagger was not sharpened.

He stared blankly at the dagger, thinking to himself, "Damn, have I been scammed? I only paid 5000 yuan for a dagger like this?"

But considering the shop owner's refined appearance, he probably wasn't a conman.

I remember reading the description of this dagger, and it seemed to have been blessed by a high-ranking monk. Could it be that its purpose is different from that of an ordinary dagger?

Thinking of this, he quickly poured his spiritual power into the dagger, which immediately emitted a faint, clear light. Especially at the blade, there was a chilling aura that went straight to the heart.
