Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 156: Planning

Three days later, the flying ship docked on the competition square of the Divine Rainbow Academy.

After disembarking, Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and Lin Xiang left the square and headed towards the dormitories.

"What are your plans?" Shen Xu suddenly asked, looking at Lin Xiang.

"I heard the Myriad Treasures’ Pavillion merchant ship has already arrived." The girl said and quickly continued.

"I want to buy a ticket first and then start preparing."

"It’s a good idea to buy early." Shen Xu said and Lin Xiang nodded in agreement.

After all, there was no shortage of rich cultivators in the Canglan continent. If they delayed, they may not be able to reserve good cabins.

"What about you? Do you plan to buy your tickets right away?" Lin Xiang asked but Shen Xu shook his head.

"Brother Yuan and I have something to do. We will buy our tickets after a few days."

"What kind of ticket do you plan to buy?" Zhen Yuan suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Lin Xiang blushed and lowered her head.

"Hall ticket." She muttered and Shen Xu couldn’t help but frown.

"Lin Xiang, you can’t mess around." He admonished.

In the book, the merchant ship had hundreds of nascent soul realm cultivators, dozens of spirit transformation realm cultivators, and one void refining cultivator.

However, these high-realm cultivators were not there to guard the passengers but for the safety of the ship and goods.

As a result, many cultivators died aboard the ship and hundreds of female cultivators and doubles were raped and enslaved.

"Single-person, two-person and four-person cabins are relatively safe. They have isolation and defence formations but hall rooms are neither safe nor comfortable." Shen Xu said and Lin Xiang sighed.

"I know but..." Lin Xiang clenched her hands.

Although Lin Xiang was a level three talisman master, her inheritance was mediocre and she couldn’t draw obscure talismans.

Because of this, she couldn’t raise many spirit stones from selling talismans.

Even if she had the loot and gains from the Demon Plants Forest, she had to think about the ten years on the merchant ship.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiang felt she could only spare one million spirit stones to buy a ticket.

"What will you do if something happens to you on the merchant ship?" Shen Xu asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"I..." Lin Xiang started but didn’t know how to continue.

"Lin Xiang, cultivation is important but some things are much more so. Don’t put the cart ahead of the horse." Shen Xu advised.

"I will carefully think about it." Lin Xiang compromised and Shen Xu nodded.

When they reached the female dormitories, Lin Xiang went her way and the couple rushed to their room.

Their room was as they had left it.

After confirming that everything was in place, Zhen Yuan activated several formations before the two entered the space.

In the bamboo hut, Zhen Yuan looked at Shen Xu with a curious expression.

"Why didn’t you offer to help?" He asked.

When the double heard the question, he sighed and looked at his husband with a solemn expression.

"Lin Xiang is our good friend and I don’t mind sharing some of our resources with her. However, we are just friends and can’t take care of her forever. She will become useless if we protect her too well."

Zhen Yuan laughed when he heard this.

On the surface, Shen Xu was carefree, kind, and generous.

However, he also had a sombre streak that bordered on ruthlessness.

"I agree with you." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing the double’s hair.

"Lin Xiang is suffering from tunnel vision." Shen Xu complained and quickly continued.

"Even if she reserves most of her spirit stones for cultivation, can she cultivate in the hall? Each hall has five hundred passengers and there is no distinction between male, female, or double cultivators. How can anyone cultivate in such an environment?"

"What’s your plan?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"It depends on what she decides but regardless, I will reserve a jade spirit pill and a golden dew pill for her." The double said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

After that, the two got down to business.

While Shen Xu was refining the gu luring concoction, Zhen Yuan sorted their loot and gains.

He separated everything into four categories.

The first category was for things they could use.

Unfortunately, this category was almost nothing.

With their cultivation, both needed level three resources.

However, level three resources were relatively rare in the Canglan continent.

The second category was for ready-to-sell items.

This category included pills, talismans, level one treasures, and level two treasures among other things.

Following that was the heap of weapons and things that needed to be re-refined.

Although Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu were not afraid of Canglan continent cultivators, they didn’t want to make enemies if they could avoid it.

Because of this, Shen Xu planned to re-refine the weapons before selling them in Dragon city.

Finally, was the category of raw materials.

These materials included spiritual fruits, refining ores, talisman papers, talisman liquid, and demon cores among others.

When they had time, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan planned to refine these raw materials into finished goods.

That way, they would be able to sell them for spirit stones before boarding the merchant ship.

Thinking of spirit stones, Zhen Yuan frowned.

At the moment, he and Shen Xu had two billion spirit stones.

For others, two billion spirit stones were a lot.

However, they were not enough for him and Shen Xu.

"First, we need one hundred million for the merchant ship." Zhen Yaun began to budget.

’If we stay in the space, Xiaoxu and Yang Shi will need at least three billion for their cultivation. An additional one billion for the spiritual lake and much more for the simulation room. We also need to prepare food, treasures and other things before we board the ship.’ Zhen Yuan thought and unconsciously frowned.

From his calculation, he and Shen Xu needed to prepare five to ten billion spirit stones if they wanted to comfortably live in the space during the trip.

Most importantly, they were finally of age.

Before boarding the merchant ship, Zhen Yuan wanted to marry Shen Xu.

"Jade spirit pills and golden dew pills are not enough to raise the amount of spirit stones we need. It seems we still have to rely on reincarnation fruit pills." Zhen Yuan muttered.

At the same, he thought of obscure talismans, formations, and inscriptions.

Unfortunately, talismans, formations, and inscriptions weren’t as profitable as pills.

Most importantly, the merchant ship likely brought a lot of goods from the Tianqi continent.

Unless, Zhen Yuan sold obscure goods like teleportation talismans and teleportation formations, he likely couldn’t get his goods into the auction.

’I still need to investigate.’ He thought.

Without knowing the specific goods brought by the merchant ship, Zhen Yuan couldn’t decide which talismans, formations, and inscriptions could be sold at the auction.

After that, Zhen Yuan put away the scattered goods and began to roam the space.

He first went to the fire area to check on the wood element fire.

However, the wood element fire was refining Xiao Wan’er’s earth fire and currently in a dormant state.

After that, Zhen Yuan checked the fire gathering grass and so many were already more than one thousand years old.

Seeing this, the man smiled.

’With these spirit grasses, Xiaoxu will be able to refine more potent fire gathering pills.’ He thought before he moved on.

While Zhen Yuan was walking around, Xiaoren suddenly appeared before him.

"Lord Zhen." The ginseng spirit called, deeply bowing its body.

"What’s the matter?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"The seeds have sprouted."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan wracked his mind before he understood what the ginseng spirit was talking about.

A moment later, his lips curled in a smile and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"How many?" He asked.

"Three seeds." Xiaoren said but lowered its head from guilt.

"You don’t need to feel guilty." Zhen Yuan said.

Although he gave Xiaoren a bag of seeds to plant, he only expected two or three to sprout.

Considering that, the current outcome was within his expectation and he wasn’t disappointed.

"Take me to see them." Zhen Yuan instructed and the ginseng hurriedly led the way.

An incense stick later, the two stopped before a brown seedling.

"This seedling is too powerful and doesn’t allow other spirit grasses to grow near it." Xiaoren said and Zhen Yuan subconsciously looked around.

Like Xiaoren implied, there were no other plants in the surroundings.

"Do you know what it is?" Zhen Yuan asked but Xiaoren shook its head with a discouraged expression.

"Alright." Zhen Yuan said and asked Xiaoren to lead him to the next seedling.

Similar to the first, the other two occupied their territories and didn’t allow other plants to grow nearby.

Unfortunately, neither Zhen Yuan nor Xiaoren knew the names of the plants.

’I need to spend more time in the space library.’ Zhen Yuan thought.
