After I lost my job, the country urged me to travel every day

Chapter 241 Forgetting Your Roots

Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao stared at the shopkeeper intently, wanting to see his reaction.

Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper Canglan heard Bai Yaoyao's words, he ignored her and just tore open the packaging of the Swiss roll with a smile on his face, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then swallowed it reluctantly.

Then he shook his head and savored it, "Hmm! This cake today is very sweet and sticky, just to my liking."

Bai Yaoyao couldn't wait any longer, so she handed the ancient book in her hand forward again and called out respectfully, "Shopkeeper!"

"Oh, it's just a tattered book. Why would Fairy Bai bother me while I'm enjoying the delicious food?!"

Canglan glanced at the thing in Bai Yaoyao's hand, his face full of disgust, "Back then, the impoverished immortal was seriously injured in the trial and had no money to pay for the room. I took him in out of pity, and he gave me this book. We mermaids can't practice with this thing, so I threw it in the corner. It's been eaten by insects and rats for so many years, look how broken it is!"

Canglan pushed Bai Yaoyao's arm and pushed the book away from him, "Take it away quickly! Take it away quickly! Don't let the bugs spread all over my inn!"

Bai Yaoyao was caught off guard by his answer, "Shopkeeper, this is a secret book of cultivating immortals..."

Canglan rolled his eyes, "What secret book? Secret book! It's just something that's everywhere! It's not even worthy of being used as a table leg! That poor immortal said that this is just an ordinary book of introductory techniques for cultivating immortality and refining qi. Many sects use this to awaken their disciples' spirits!"

Canglan suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Yaoyao with displeasure, "Master Bai, you promised me that you would help me get it out of the Mirage Sea Secret Realm and throw it away. Are you going to go back on your word?!"

Bai Yaoyao: "I..."

Chen Yingjie, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, quietly touched Bai Yaoyao's arm, stepped forward and said, "Since it is the shopkeeper's request, then my junior sister and I can do whatever we want with this book!"

"Yes!" Canglan nodded, looking at Chen Yingjie's teachable expression, "That's right! Two immortals, don't waste time on such rubbish, but go and take on some trial tasks! I heard that many people are determined to get the Pure Heart Pearl this time!"

After Canglan finished speaking, he muttered in a low voice, "A group of people fighting for the tears of a stinky girl, how boring!"

His voice was so soft that Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao, who were standing nearby, could not hear it clearly. They only saw his lips moving.

However, the two did not ask any more questions. Instead, they looked at each other, bowed respectfully to Canglan, and left the counter.

White light flashed, and the two returned to the mustard seed space where they were staying. They happened to see Xiao Xiaoxiao hurriedly opening the door and coming out. Seeing the two, she hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry! I was too excited last night, and I tossed and turned in bed until morning before I fell asleep. I didn't even hear you guys leave!"

Bai Yaoyao was so happy at the moment that she wanted to laugh out loud. Seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao's guilty look, she waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I didn't sleep all night yesterday either! By the way!"

She raised the ancient book in her hand and said, "Xiaoxiao! This Xuanyuan Qiling Jue is probably really a cultivation secret book. We can cultivate immortality in the future!"

"Really?" Xiao Xiaoxiao was also very excited. She had seen the immortals coming in and out of the Crystal Palace these days, and she had always been very envious. She walked up to Bai Yaoyao in two or three steps, and looked at the ancient book in Bai Yaoyao's hand with fiery eyes, "Then let's take a look together?"

Seeing Bai Yaoyao and Xiao Xiaoxiao enthusiastically flipping through the ancient book, Chen Yingjie, who had been silent beside them, suddenly stepped forward and took the book in his hands.

"and many more!"

He looked at the big words "Xuan Yuan Qi Ling Jue" on the cover of the book, his eyes full of thoughts, "The shopkeeper said that this is an ordinary introductory method of cultivating immortality and refining Qi, but we must be on guard against others. If the shopkeeper has bad intentions, and I practice rashly, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"

Bai Yaoyao naturally understood Chen Yingjie's worries, but they were unfamiliar with the place. If they rashly took the book to ask others, and if the book was really a common method of cultivation as the shopkeeper said, then their identities would be exposed.

After all, only those who can enter this secret realm have some cultivation. If someone with ulterior motives knew that the three of them who had never practiced cultivation were mixed in, wouldn’t they be in great trouble?

Xiao Xiaoxiao's cheeks were flushed, and she was obviously still immersed in the excitement of being able to cultivate immortality. Seeing that Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao were silent, she rolled her eyes and suggested, "Why don't we go ask Senior Brother Fengxian!"

Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao raised their heads at the same time and looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao.

Seeing Chen Yingjie's stern eyes, Xiao Xiaoxiao's excited voice softened a little, "I... I just think that Senior Brother Fengxian is knowledgeable and has taken good care of us along the way. He is so gentle and will definitely tell us the answer..."

Bai Yaoyao smiled helplessly, "Xiaoxiao, we must be on guard against others. This world is not Blue Star. We don't know anyone here. For the sake of safety, we should not trust others easily."

Chen Yingjie beside him also nodded seriously. His eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he locked onto Xiao Xiaoxiao tightly. "Xiao Xiaoxiao, I know that Lu Fengxian once saved you. You have always been grateful to him and trust him very much. But you must not tell anyone about our identities! Otherwise, you will be charged with treason!"

The excitement on Xiao Xiaoxiao's face disappeared, and her face turned pale. "I didn't! How could I tell others about our affairs!"

"That's better!" Chen Yingjie glanced at her coldly, "You'd better not make any mistakes! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Professor Wang who recommended you!"

Before setting off, Chen Yingjie looked at the files of several people and naturally knew that Xiao Xiaoxiao was able to join the team because of the recommendation of Professor Wang, who is very famous in the medical field. Xiao Xiaoxiao was an orphan since childhood and was adopted and raised by Professor Wang. Her medical skills were also taught by Professor Wang. It can be said that the two of them are both teacher and mother.

Now it seems that Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart is entirely devoted to Lu Fengxian. He can only use Professor Wang to remind Xiao Xiaoxiao not to forget her roots because of a man!

Xiao Xiaoxiao was timid to begin with, but after becoming more familiar with the two of them these days, she began to relax a little.

Frightened by Chen Yingjie and hearing him mention Professor Wang, she shuddered and her face turned even paler. Tears welled up in her eyes and she stammered, not knowing what to say. In the end, she could only repeatedly assure him, "I won't... I absolutely won't! Believe me!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere and Xiao Xiaoxiao crying out of fear, Bai Yaoyao quickly stepped forward, held her hand and comforted her, "Of course we believe you! Stop crying! Let's study this immortal cultivation secret book again!"
