These words really hit me hard!

Even though Tang and Chen had experienced many trials and tribulations and were determined, they were still somewhat heartbroken by these words, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous, envious and resentful.

At that moment, a warm and delicate touch came from her hand, and her jealousy vanished instantly.

Looking down, I saw it was the gourd Yunze had given me.

Yes! They have this. With it, they have access to a future full of infinite possibilities!

The two were so focused on the gourd that they didn't notice Yunze glancing at them from the side.

Having just arrived in this world, how could Yunze not use his innate skills when meeting someone he would be frequently in contact with afterward?

He could clearly perceive their thoughts.

However, it seems that they are all of good character.

“Those are gifts from Yunze to you, and I also brought some souvenirs from the Immortal Abyss Realm.”

Lin Qianqian spoke to them more casually, taking out gifts as she spoke.

Tang Dezhong and Chen Dinghai were given wooden bead bracelets, each engraved with a Buddha image; these were defensive treasures.

It is especially effective against ghost-type attacks; Lin Qianqian found it at a market stall.

Wen Mingyue was given a top-grade anti-aging pill, and she was extremely excited when she received it.

She only started cultivating at the age of thirty. Even with the resources provided by Lin Qianqian, by the time she cultivated to the point where she could preserve her youth, she would probably be quite old.

Now that I have this superior anti-aging pill, I no longer have any anxiety about my appearance.

What was given to Luo Zexuan was a pet egg, which was bought at the market at the foot of the Beast Taming Sect.

Yunze wasn't asked to specifically check the breed; what kind of pet he hatches depends entirely on his luck.

What was given to Old Master Zhang was a pot of spirit wine, which touched his heart.

Actually, she brewed and blended this spirit wine herself, since she had plenty of spiritual spring herbs on hand.

What was given to Chu Zhou was a fragment of an ancient rune scroll that he had found at a market stall.

The talismans in the Immortal Abyss Realm today are derived from ancient runes. These ancient runes are obscure and difficult to understand, making them extremely challenging to study.

Yunze is also a cultivation genius with a very high IQ, and the Bai Ze inheritance also contains knowledge of ancient runes.

After finding this tattered scroll, Yunze also read it, but even after studying it for many days, he only understood a few parts of it.

Finally, Lin Qianqian suggested that this time-consuming, laborious, and mentally taxing task should be left to Chu Zhou, who would definitely enjoy it.

As expected, Chu Zhou, upon hearing that it was a fragment of ancient runes, deciphered it and created talismans that were a hundred times more powerful than those currently in use.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he abandoned everyone else to pick up the tattered scroll and began to peruse it.

After giving out the gifts, Lin Qianqian took out several storage bags containing items she had purchased for the Yan Kingdom during her trip to the Immortal Abyss Realm.

After Tang Dezhong finished looking at one bag, he handed it to the person next to him and went to look at the next one.

The items passed around among the group, and everyone was surprised to see so many.

After reading it, Chen Dinghai asked Lin Qianqian, "Are things from Blue Star really that valuable in the cultivation world? They can be exchanged for so many magical treasures and pills? You must have spent a lot, right?"

The answer, "Things from Earth aren't worth that much money," wasn't from Lin Qianqian, but from Tang Dezhong, who had just finished reading the sales contract.

He waved the contract in his hand. "I have to thank Mr. Yunze for this. He paid a lot of spirit stones and treasures in advance to get these back. Although I don't know the exact value of what he paid, I imagine it was very valuable."

After saying this, he turned to Yunze and said, "I will report it. The country will definitely pay back what you paid out of pocket."

After Tang Dezhong finished speaking, he handed several contracts in his hand to the others to look at.

Only then did everyone notice that most of the contracts were signed by Yunze.

Many of the items exchanged were things they had never even heard of before, so they were probably not ordinary items.

Yunze remained silent, since Lin Qianqian had basically paid for all of this, only using his name.

However, he won't say anything about this.

Seeing that it was about time, Lin Qianqian spoke up, "Old Tang, Yunze told me that if he needs any items he brings back from other planes, he should bring more to offset these valuable items."

"That would be best, as the country truly cannot repay it now. When the time comes, Mr. Yunze, please just ask for anything you need, and the country will not refuse."

Everyone turned to look at Yunze, and seeing that he didn't say anything, they assumed he had agreed to do so.

Tang Dezhong and Chen Dinghai left first; they were going to hand over the items and contracts.

The employees of Liushang Mall continued chatting and getting to know each other, all expressing envy and admiration for Lin Qianqian's journey in the world of cultivation.

Luo Zexuan rested his chin on his hand and said, "I'm so envious! To see cultivators flying all over the sky on their swords, when will I ever be able to fly!"

Lin Qianqian was quite helpless about his dream of flying on a sword. "It'll be soon. Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you'll be able to fly on a sword. Just practice harder."

Old Master Zhang was already able to fly on his sword, which he didn't think was anything special, but he was very curious about what the spiritual wine in the cultivation world was made of.

He just took a sip, and the spiritual energy in his body is still boiling and hasn't been suppressed yet.

Wen Mingyue was very interested in the various races Lin Qianqian encountered in the Immortal Abyss Realm, and kept asking if the merfolk were beautiful and how tall the tree people were in their original form.

Chu Zhou listened quietly, then suddenly blurted out, "According to your account of the past ten months, aside from important matters like visiting relatives and exploring the underwater secret realm, you actually spent very little time on shopping. You two were practically just eating, drinking, having fun, and being all lovey-dovey. It's such a waste of time; you could have gone to many more places, and..."

Chu Zhou was interrupted before he could finish speaking by a sofa cushion that Lin Qianqian threw at him.

"What a pity! How did you come to that conclusion?"

"It's simple. Just tally up the time and analyze it. Actually, there's more to it than that. You also spend a lot of time alone together during your visits to relatives and friends, and that doesn't even count. Don't you two get tired of being together all the time? Is absence really that addictive? I can't imagine, I can't imagine..."

Lin Qianqian really wanted to run over and cover his mouth: "We're not just newlyweds, we're already married. What's wrong with newlyweds being affectionate? What do you, a single dog, know?"

"There's nothing wrong with being single. Marriage would only slow down my research. In order not to waste time on meaningless family matters, I probably won't get married and start a family, or have someone interfere in my life."

This is also what Chu Zhou would say; his life studies rank first.

It's hard to imagine what kind of person could tolerate his personality and form a complete circle with him.

Perhaps there is such a person, or perhaps they are not even a person.

But to meet the destined "her," one must need countless coincidences, a preordained fate, and a red thread that even a divine artifact cannot sever, to tie Chu Zhou's hand.

Now, Lin Qianqian had nothing to say to him. She yawned and said, "We've been chatting for a long time, and it's almost dawn. Everyone should go and rest. Don't call us for breakfast or lunch. Yunze will cook some spiritual food from the Immortal Abyss Realm for you tonight. Don't forget to invite Lao Tang and Lao Chen too."

After saying that, she ignored them and pulled Yunze back to her room.

Along the way, Lin Qianqian continued to complain: "This Chu Zhou, I really don't know what kind of human he is. No matter what interesting topic there is, he can kill the conversation. He's a real conversation killer. I won't include him in my next chat."

Yunze listened quietly without responding. He could tell that although Qianqian complained, she had a genuinely good relationship with her employees.
