Chapter 515: A Different Cultivator
Next, Xu Qiuqian heard the story about Lou Zichen.
Lou Zichen was born in a very remote town in Xuanyun Continent. It was not only remote but also isolated from the world. How remote was this town? It was so remote that there was even an emperor in that town.
It is a city where there are absolutely no immortal cultivators.
Because the spiritual energy there is very thin, cultivators generally don't go there.
Lou Zichen was born there. His family was very poor, so he could only rely on the imperial examination to change his life. Fortunately, he was really capable and liked reading.
When he was sixteen years old, a Taoist priest appeared and said he wanted to take him to cultivate immortality. Lou Zichen naturally did not believe it. Later, his parents died one after another, and he could not take the imperial examination. He had no money and could not study, so he just wasted his life.
Fortunately, at the age of 22, he passed the exam and ranked second.
Just when his future seemed bright, he fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death.
At this time, the Taoist priest appeared again and said that if he became his disciple, he would save Lou Zichen. In order to survive, Lou Zichen agreed.
When he woke up again, he came out and found out that the world he was in was actually a world of cultivating immortals, and his aptitude was above average.
His master was a casual cultivator who liked fortune-telling. He said that he had predicted that there would be a disciple of his in that city, and that he happened to meet him, which led to the previous encounter.
It was originally thought that he would follow his master to become a casual cultivator, but unexpectedly, within ten years, his master also died in a secret realm. Since then, he has been a casual cultivator, traveling around.
Until he met Yuan Yan during a robbery.
"Although his cultivation level is not high, he is really smart. I think he can help you a lot. As you open more and more stores in the future, you will definitely be in need of management talents like this."
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
That's true.
She can leave the Xuanyun Continent to Chen Wu, but she needs someone who can manage the Xiyue Continent.
"Don't worry, I have inquired about his background, and he is not only good at management, he knows a lot. According to him, he has learned a lot in the past hundred years as a casual cultivator, including everything."
Xu Qiuqian seemed to be thinking about something.
So the reason why Lou Zichen's cultivation level is not high is probably because he is learning these things, thus slowing down his cultivation progress? "Okay, then accept him."
Although we don't know Lou Zichen's true level, just the fact that he was able to help Yuan Yan take power in the Yuan family a few years in advance means he is considered capable.
Afterwards, Xu Qiuqian took Lou Zichen back to Youling City.
Youling City was already a distant memory for her.
After returning to Youling City, she did not forget to go to Xianwu Pavilion to see if anyone would accept the task she had posted.
Still nothing.
"Manager Xu, is this matter important to you?"
Seeing this, Lou Zichen asked her.
Xu Qiuqian hummed: "It's very important."
Then, she saw Lou Zichen seemed to be thinking about something.
"What's the matter? Have you seen it or heard of it?"
"No, I have also learned about this matter and I am quite curious about this mirage beast." Lou Zichen explained.
"What are you curious about?"
"Well, I just wonder, if such a beast had already appeared in ancient times, then why do so few people know about it? Could it be that most of the people who know about it were killed by it?"
"I don't know either. Maybe in the eyes of these people, there is no need to understand things that have nothing to do with them."
But for her now, no news is the best news.
And now she had little desire to know.
Before, she was thinking, if she knew, could she find a way to go back, but as time went by, she no longer considered herself as a passerby.
It's pretty good here too.
Xu Qiuqian glanced at Lou Zichen.
"Why are you curious about it?"
"I am curious about these rare special events."
It can be seen that Lou Zichen is different from ordinary cultivators.
Most casual cultivators spend their time either cultivating or looking for resources, but Lou Zichen doesn't do that. From the time he started cultivating until now, he has actually been spending more time learning about the things that interest him.
"Why do you want to look at universities? You don't have to take that exam now." Xu Qiuqian asked him curiously.
Lou Zichen pursed his lips and whispered, "I was selected as the runner-up that year. Later, when I met His Majesty, I mentioned it. He said that my understanding of university was too superficial. If not, I should have been the top scholar."
"So you've been watching this all these years?" Xu Qiuqian looked incredulous.
"Yes, but more importantly, it is always new and has taught me a lot about how to behave in society."
"Do you like reading?"
"I like it very much."
"Everything?"
Lou Zichen responded again.
Xu Qiuqian thought about it.
"Then come with me."
She took Lou Zichen to the small shop next to Youling City and came to the first floor in the backyard.
The books here are still here.
Although she didn't know why Xiaoyi didn't bring these things to Xiyue Continent at that time, she felt that these books were of no use here and it would be better to make use of their true purpose.
"Look at the books here. If there are any you haven't read, you can take them away."
Lou Zichen was stunned.
"Can I take them all?"
Xu Qiuqian raised an eyebrow: "Of course, these books are not rare things, not worth a few spirit stones, it doesn't matter if you take them all."
It was the first time she had seen such a pessimistic cultivator.
Although it was a little strange, she didn't hate it.
"Thank you, Manager Xu."
"You don't have to call me Manager Xu. Just call me Sister Qiu Qian like they do."
But then again, is she older than Lou Zichen?
Forget it, who cares.
Lou Zichen didn't hesitate and followed suit: "Sister Qiu Qian."
"Well, take a look and see if there are any that you haven't seen. Take them all away. I will take you to Xiyue Continent later."
After a while, Lou Zichen came out.
Xu Qiuqian expanded his spiritual sense and took a look.
He probably took one-tenth of the books.
Does that mean he has read the rest or is not interested in them? Xu Qiuqian was surprised.
In response, Lou Zichen said: "I have seen the rest."
It seemed that Xu Qiuqian's behavior made him feel a little warm, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Sister Qiu Qian does have a lot of books here that I haven't read."
Xu Qiuqian was even more surprised.
Have you read all the others? Lou Zichen reads a lot. You have to know that the books Chen Wei gave her were collected from all over the world, but Lou Zichen has read almost most of them.
But he is also a cultivator.
Can you really give up your good immortal cultivation and use this time to read books, and read any books? "Have you read all the others?"
“I’ve seen them all.”
Xu Qiuqian still didn't believe it.
Seeing this, Lou Zichen said, "Sister Qiu Qian, feel free to ask about the contents of the book."
