It was almost lunchtime, so the restaurant was quite crowded. Liu Xiaoyuan and Jia Youdao chose a seat and started chatting.
After all the dishes were served, Jia Youdao smiled and said, "Brother, you're not from the capital, are you?"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded. This couldn't be faked, because Liu Xiaoyuan's accent was unmistakable.
"Brother, let me ask you something. Who told you what happened last night?" Jia Youdao asked, inquiring about the events of the previous night. This was exactly what Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to know; he also wanted to ask about last night but didn't know how to bring it up.
Now that Jia Youdao has taken the initiative to ask, things will be much easier.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I learned about this from a cultivator, who also told me that there is Pure Yang Grass in this tomb."
Liu Xiaoyuan was telling the truth. It was indeed what Master Zhou said, but Liu Xiaoyuan concealed the fact that Master Zhou had passed away, because if he revealed it, he would really be out of his mind.
After speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Jia Youdao and asked, "What's wrong, Teacher Jia? Is there a problem?"
Jia Youdao said, "Brother, don't you want to know why I know so much about evil cultivators?"
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Jia Youdao, wondering what he meant. Did this guy invite him to dinner today just to tell him about this?
But this isn't normal. According to most people's thinking, such things are their own secrets, and how could a secret be shared with others?
That's why Liu Xiaoyuan was too embarrassed to speak up at first.
However, it's a bit unusual that Jia Youdao is now proactively raising this question with Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Teacher Jia, of course I want to know, but I'm not comfortable asking about it," Liu Xiaoyuan said after thinking for a moment.
Whatever Jia Youdao's intentions are, I'll just listen to what he has to say. Being a spectator shouldn't be a problem.
Jia Youdao said, "Actually, it's not really a secret. I just haven't told anyone. But since I've run into you today, I might as well tell you."
"Then I am truly honored and willing to listen attentively," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Jia Youdao then began his story, but before he started, he clinked glasses with Liu Xiaoyuan.
According to Jia Youdao, this guy is indeed a teacher, a middle school teacher, and a teacher of ideological and political education.
However, besides being a teacher, Jia Youdao also has another identity: a cultivator!
Moreover, Jia Youdao was born into a family of cultivators. This family has been cultivating for hundreds of years. As for the cultivation level of the most powerful person in Jia Youdao's family now, Jia Youdao did not say.
Jia Youdao's father passed away more than ten years ago. Because of what happened last night, Jia Youdao's father believed in some kind of burial site, and as a result, he died tragically inside.
For the past ten years, in order to avenge his father, Jia Youdao has been inquiring about and compiling information on evil cultivators.
Hard work pays off. After years of effort, Jia Youdao finally found the weakness of the evil cultivators. Jia Youdao knew that the evil cultivators would definitely repeat their old tricks.
And so, Jia Youdao finally got his chance. So Jia Youdao rushed over immediately. In order to kill this evil cultivator and avenge his father, Jia Youdao even bought a lot of explosives through special channels.
What happened next, Jia Youdao didn't say, but Liu Xiaoyuan knew. Naturally, Jia Youdao won and avenged his father.
After hearing Jia Youdao's words, Liu Xiaoyuan was surprised to see Jia Youdao's expression. Jia Youdao was truly persistent. He had been preparing for ten years to avenge his father. It can be said that hard work pays off.
After recounting his story, Jia Youdao smiled and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, asking, "Brother, do you admire me a lot?"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I really admire you, Teacher Jia."
Jia Youdao picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and said, "Brother, that's because my dad spoiled me rotten when I was little. He was incredibly good to me; whatever I wanted, my dad would give me..."
"Alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things anymore. Come on, brother, let's have another drink." Jia Youdao smiled, raised his glass, and clinked glasses with Liu Xiaoyuan.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Jia Youdao refused to let Liu Xiaoyuan pay the bill and insisted on paying for the meal himself.
“Brother, see you at the auction in seven days,” Jia Youdao said, patting Liu Xiaoyuan on the shoulder. The two exchanged phone numbers.
After they separated, Liu Xiaoyuan was troubled again. Damn it, where was he going to find spirit stones? Spirit stones weren't money, and they weren't easy to get.
When Liu Xiaoyuan was poor, he worried about where to earn money. Now that he has plenty of money, he worries about where to find spirit stones.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was worrying, the voice of the God-level Invincible System suddenly rang in Liu Xiaoyuan's mind.
"Young man, are you worried about how to find spirit stones?" the God-level Invincible System asked with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately nodded and said, "Yes, is there any way? Handsome system, please tell me."
The system said irritably, "You're such an idiot! With a system as handsome as me, you still worry about spirit stones? I'm really impressed with you. I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."
Feeling utterly humiliated by the system, Liu Xiaoyuan felt like he'd been screwed over.
"Handsome system, if you have any good ideas, please tell me. I would be extremely grateful." Liu Xiaoyuan said with a grin. He had no choice but to smile as brightly as a chrysanthemum when he needed someone's help.
The system said, "It's very simple. You summon a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Some late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lot of spirit stones on them. You can use them in an emergency."
Liu Xiaoyuan slapped his forehead. Damn it, how could I be so stupid? Yeah, I didn't even think of such a good idea. I'm so stupid, incredibly stupid.
"Thank you for the reminder, system," Liu Xiaoyuan said happily.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately realized a serious problem: he could only summon cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage for ten minutes, and only three times a day.
Ten minutes later, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator will disappear, and their spirit stones will naturally disappear as well.
You're saying that if other people see their newly acquired spirit stones disappear at an auction, do you think the auction house will let them off the hook?
"This system is awesome, but at my current level, I can only summon late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators three times a day, and each time it only lasts ten minutes. I'm afraid this method won't work," Liu Xiaoyuan said worriedly.
The system said, "Are you stupid now? When the time comes, you just need to exchange spirit stones for goods. Once you have the goods, why do you care about anything else!"
