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? There was even an emperor among the people in that town.
It was a city with no immortal cultivators at all.
Because the spiritual energy there is very thin, immortal cultivators generally don't go there.
Lou Zichen was born there, and his family was also very poor. Lou Zichen could only rely on the imperial examination to change his life. Fortunately, he was indeed talented and liked to study.
It wasn't until he was sixteen years old that a Taoist priest showed up and said he would take him to cultivate immortality. Lou Zichen naturally didn't believe it. Later, his parents died one after another, and he couldn't take the imperial examination. Without money, he couldn't study. That's it. Go to waste.
Fortunately, he passed the exam at the age of twenty-two.
Seeing that his future was promising, he fell seriously ill and was dying.
At this time, the Taoist priest appeared again and said that if he worshiped him as his teacher, he would save Lou Zichen. Lou Zichen agreed in order to survive.
When he woke up again, he came outside and found out that the world he was in turned out to be a world of cultivating immortals, and his qualifications were above average.
His master was a casual cultivator who liked fortune-telling. He said that he had calculated that he had a disciple in that city, and he happened to meet him, so he had the previous encounter.
He originally thought that he would follow his master as a casual cultivator, but he didn't expect that less than ten years later, his master also died in a secret realm. He has been traveling around as a casual cultivator ever since.
Until he met Yuan Yan when he was robbed.
"You may not think that his cultivation level is high, but he is really smart. I think he can help you a lot. As your stores open more and more in the future, you will definitely be short of such management talents."
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
Indeed.
On the Xuanyun Continent, she can leave it to Chen Wu, but on the Xiyue Continent, she needs someone who can manage it.
"Don't worry, I have inquired about his life experience, and he is not only good at management, he knows a lot anyway. According to his words, he has learned a lot during the hundred years of being a casual cultivator, and he has learned everything he has not learned. Pass."
Xu Qiuqian was thoughtful.
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 I don't know Lou Zichen's true level, just because he can help Yuan Yan take control of the Yuan family a few years in advance, he can be considered to be powerful.
Afterwards, Xu Qiuqian took Lou Zichen back to Youling City.
Youling City is already a long memory to her.
After returning to Youling City, she didn't forget to go to Xianwu Pavilion to see if anyone would take the mission she posted.
Still not.
"Manager Xu, is this important to you?"
Lou Zichen asked her when he saw this.
Xu Qiuqian hummed: "It's very important."
Immediately, she saw Lou Zichen looking thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong, have you seen 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 feel that if such a beast has appeared in ancient times, why are there so few people who know about it? Could it be that most of the people who know about it have been killed by it?"
"I don't know. 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 her desire to know was now very small.
Before, she thought that if she knew, she could find a way to go back, but as time went by, she no longer regarded herself as a passerby.
It's pretty good here too.
Xu Qiuqian glanced at Lou Zichen.
"Why are you curious about it?"
"I'm more curious about these rare and special events."
It can be seen that Lou Zichen is different from ordinary casual cultivators.
In addition to practicing, ordinary casual cultivators only need to find resources, but Lou Zichen does not. From the beginning of practice to now, Lou Zichen should actually spend more time learning about things that interest him.
"Why do you want to go to college? You don't have to take that exam now." Xu Qiuqian asked him curiously.
Lou Zichen pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I was selected as the second overall candidate. Later, when I met with His Majesty, I mentioned it. He said that my understanding of the university was too simple. If not, I should have been the top candidate."
"So you've been watching this all these years?" Xu Qiuqian looked incredulous.
"Yes, but more importantly, it is always new to me and has taught me a lot about how to behave in the world."
"Do you like reading books?"
"like very much."
"See everything?"
Lou Zichen answered again.
Xu Qiuqian thought for a moment.
"Then you come with me."
She took Lou Zichen to the small shop next to Youling City and to the first floor of the backyard.
The books here are still there.
Although she didn't know why Xiaoyi didn't bring these things to Xiyue Continent at that time, she felt that these books were useless here and it was better to play their true role.
"Look at the books here. If you haven't read them yet, you can take them away."
Lou Zichen couldn't help but be startled.
"Can I take them all with me?"
Xu Qiuqian raised her eyebrows: "Of course, these books are not rare things. They are not worth a few spiritual stones. It doesn't matter if you take them all."
This was the first time she had seen such a discerning cultivator.
Although it was a bit strange, she didn't hate it.
"Thank you, Manager Xu."
"No need to call me Store Manager Xu, just call me Sister Qiu Qian like they do."
But then again, is she older than Lou Zichen?
Forget it, never mind.
Lou Zichen didn't do any ink, he just followed the good and said: "Sister Qiu Qian."
"Well, take a look at what you haven't seen before and take them all away. I will take you to Xiyue Continent later."
After a while, Lou Zichen came out.
Xu Qiuqian opened his consciousness and took a look.
He took probably a tenth of the books.
In other words, he has seen the rest or is not interested?
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but be surprised.
In this regard, 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 could not 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 seen the others?
Lou Zichen read a lot. You must know that the books Chen Wei gave her at that time were all collected from all over the world, but Lou Zichen had read almost most of them.
But a person is still a cultivator.
Can you really give up your good life of not cultivating immortals and use this time to read books, and read all kinds of books?
"Have you seen the others?"
"I've seen it all."
Xu Qiuqian still didn't believe it.
Seeing this, Lou Zichen said: "Sister Qiu Qian can ask about the contents of the book at will."
