"I wonder where you come from, fellow Daoist."
The young man began using platitudes as he led Chi Yuan forward.
"It's just a small sect, I won't embarrass myself by mentioning it."
Chi Yuan shook his head, his face looking somewhat bitter.
Who knew that the young man would become interested the moment he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist is right. The most important thing for a person is not to belittle himself."
"A strong wind reveals the strength of the grass, and turbulent times reveal the loyalty of the minister."
"Adversity is where true talent emerges."
Chi Yuan's words seemed to open the young man's floodgates, and his inner feelings flowed out like a never-ending stream.
Throughout history, many on the path to immortality have risen from humble beginnings.
"Lin Yu was originally a menial servant in a small sect and was often bullied."
"However, his will was unyielding, and he cultivated diligently day and night. In a dangerous place, he obtained a rare treasure, and from then on, he rose to prominence and became famous throughout the immortal realm."
"Take Chu Mo for example. He was initially a mortal, but by chance, he stumbled upon a path to immortality and, in a desolate place, comprehended the wonders of cultivation..."
In this way, the young man shared his success story of turning his life around, which Chi Yuan listened to with a thumbs up.
Upon reaching the door, he handed the key to Chi Yuan.
"So, fellow Daoist, are you moved?"
"I'm so touched, so very touched. Thank you for your encouragement."
Chi Yuan sniffed, rolled his eyes upward, and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, which were devoid of tears, with his sleeve.
"Action speaks louder than words, fellow Daoist. This is the champion's guide for this year's Immortal Cultivation Competition. With this book in hand, you'll see right through your enemies."
I treat you like a brother, but you treat me like a business transaction?
Chi Yuan looked on incredulously, never expecting that there were such skilled salespeople in the world.
"Considering our affinity, I'll accept neither the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight top-grade spirit stones nor the nine hundred and ninety-eight top-grade spirit stones."
"And don't even mention the 98 mid-grade spirit stones."
"I'll take home eight low-grade spirit stones."
"I also wish you, fellow Daoist, a smooth and unobstructed path to immortality, that all powerful enemies will fear your brilliance, and that you will look back on today with a hearty laugh."
The young man was almost singing as he spoke, and Chi Yuan's eyes widened as he listened.
That's amazing! You can't beat someone who's born with talent if you learn it later.
Shen Yulou had been clapping for the young man for a long time in Chi Yuan's sleeve.
If you use your mouth to take the civil service exam, you'll definitely get a high position.
"So, fellow Daoist, do you want it?"
The young man took out a booklet of medium thickness from his sleeve; judging from its thickness, the contents seemed to be quite detailed.
"Just for your mouth, I'd buy it even if I didn't want it."
Chi Yuan even considered appointing this young man as a protector after his successful comeback, specifically to help him curse people, hahaha!
Geniuses always appreciate each other.
Waving goodbye to the young man outside who was grinning from ear to ear, Chi Yuan locked the door.
Shen Yulou couldn't wait to pop out from his sleeve.
"There's only one bed?"
"Master sleeps on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."
Chi Yuan wanted to give the bed to Shen Yulou to express his respect for his master.
Who knew that Shen Yulou waved his hand and said something that made Chi Yuan choke.
"It's okay, we can sleep together."
“We spirits have never cared about these ethics.”
"And you can't not sleep well at night if you have to compete."
Shen Yulou casually tossed him an iced fruit as a snack.
"No need, no need, I probably won't be able to sleep much anyway."
"I need to focus on my training this month for the competition, and I'll have to trouble my master to take good care of me."
Chi Yuan was so frightened that he didn't want to sleep.
"It's nothing, just doing my job."
Shen Yulou also took a bite of the iced fruit, and the sound of ice being chewed echoed in the bedroom.
"Let me see that booklet. I want to study how good these popular players really are."
Chi Yuan sat down next to Shen Yulou and looked at the booklet with him.
"Li Yifeng of Lingjiu Palace, Su Yao of Haoyue Sect, Jian Wuhen of Wanjian Sect..."
After flipping through a few pages, I found that most of these people were between seventy and eighty years old, and their cultivation levels were mostly between the late Foundation Establishment stage and the mid-Golden Core stage.
"You're quite steady. You're at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. If we're ranking by level, you could be a leader."
