Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 205: New Plan

A golden mask rolled out when the third stone crumbled.

When Shen Xu saw it, his breath hitched and he immediately liked it.

"Its so beautiful." He exclaimed and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

"Contract it if you like it." He said and Shen Xu didn’t argue.

Without wasting time, he contracted the mask and his eyes subconsciously widened.

"What is it?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"Brother Yuan..., this mask..." Shen Xu couldn’t help but be shocked.

"How could there be such a thing in the cultivation world?" He muttered.

Shen Xu was pleasantly surprised when he got the immortal tower.

Unexpectedly, the next stone was even better!

"Brother Yuan, it’s a divine artifact." He said, excitedly grabbing his lover’s arm.

"Divine artifact?" Zhen Yuan was shocked and involuntarily recalled his guan.

’Is it also a divine artifact?’ He wondered.

"My cultivation is too low and I can’t properly use it but it’s indeed a divine artifact. It’s called the ten thousand faces mask. It’s a disguise and defensive weapon."

"Congratulations." Zhen Yuan was happy for Shen Xu.

With the mask, Shen Xu could better hide and protect himself.

It was undoubtedly a good thing.

"Brother Yuan, we are luckier than the main protagonist." The double said with a gloating look.

"If I remember correctly, Xiao Weimin only got a broken divine artifact when he reached the immortal realm."

"Yes, we are luckier." Zhen Yuan smiled, rubbing his wife’s hair.

"Your guan, and my mask and tower are valuable treasures. We can’t take them out unless we really have to." Shen Xu reminded with a solemn face.

Although he was often careless, he wasn’t ignorant.

On Earth, one hundred per cent of profit was enough to make people commit crimes and three hundred per cent could cause them to ignore morality and disregard all bottom lines.

Similarly, a slightly better treasure may not cause cultivators to go all out.

However, a complete immortal treasure was enough to cause a bloodbath in the Tianqi continent.

As for a complete divine treasure...

"I know. Don’t worry." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu sighed in relief.

"Two more stones." The double said, simultaneously afraid and also looking forward to cutting the remaining stones.

"Brother Yuan, do you think there will be another divine treasure?"

"Who knows?" Zhen Yuan shrugged and without waiting for the double to speculate, he cut the stone.

Soon after, the stone crumbled and one hundred and eight formation flags appeared before the two.

"These formation flags must be a good thing." Shen Xu happily exclaimed.

Although he was not a formation master, he often refined formation flags for Zhen Yuan.

However, what he refined could not be compared to the flags in front of him.

"I will tell you about them after I refine them." Zhen Yuan said, putting the flags away.

"Okay." Shen Xu nodded and turned to the last stone.

This was the stone Zhen Yuan picked when they first entered the hall of stones.

Recalling how excited Zhen Yuan was when he picked the stone, Shen Xu couldn’t help but excited.

"Brother Yuan, open it quickly." He urged and Zhen Yuan didn’t delay.

Five moments later, a grey ore lay among the stone debris.

"This is..." Shen Xu asked in a confused voice.

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t answer.

Instead, he smiled and looked at Shen Xu with doting eyes.

"Xiaoxu is so lucky." He said.

"What do you mean?"

"Xiaoxu, this is chaos stone. It’s a perfect refining material for your natal weapon. However, ..."

"However?" Shen Xu excitedly asked.

"Your cultivation level and natal fire are not enough to refine this stone. You can only keep it for the time being."

"Is this really the chaos stone?" The double couldn’t help but be excited.

Of all refining materials, the chaos stone was indeed the most suitable for his natal weapon.

Unfortunately, the chaos stone was as rare as chaos liquid.

It was a treasure that could only be met but not sought.

Knowing this, Shen Xu didn’t have much hope of using it to refine his natal weapon.

Unexpectedly, his luck was better than he thought and he encountered the treasure in a gambling stone.

"It is." Zhen Yuan smiled and Shen Xu chuckled.

"Brother Yuan, I suddenly want to go into the gambling stones business." The double said.

After all, he and Zhen Yuan had gotten many treasures from gambling stones.

With such luck, did they need to word so hard looking for cultivation resources?

However, Zhen Yuan laughed when he heard the suggestion.

"We are destined for these things." He started and quickly continued.

"If we actively try to rely on luck, the results may not be good." He said.

"I know." Shen Xu sighed.

Although he said it, he didn’t actually mean it.

In his heart, relying on luck was a last resort.

Before counting on luck, it was better to rely on themselves.

"Brother Yuan..." Shen Xu suddenly called in an uncertain voice.

"Is something wrong?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"I think we should retreat." He started, planning to explain his reasoning and logic.

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t need it.

Although they had a plan, it was not necessary to strictly stick to it.

After all, they opened a shop because they wanted to earn enough spirit stones to buy cultivation resources.

Now that they had enough resources, why should they insist on opening the shop?

Rather than be shopkeepers, wasn’t it better to transform the treasures into strength?

"I agree." Zhen Yuan said in a solemn voice.

"We will have one hundred years to prepare for the opening of the Yunshan secret realm if we stay outside. However, if we retreat in the Chao Flame Space, that one hundred years becomes one thousand years. It’s enough time to advance our cultivation and upgrade our skills."

"My thoughts exactly." Shen Xu nodded.

With the resources he had, he, Yang Shi, and Xiaomu could comfortably advance to the spirit transformation realm.

As long as he advanced to the spirit transformation realm before the opening of the Yunshan secret realm, he would have a chance of breaking through to the void refining realm using the treasures in the secret realm.

"Xiaoxu, there is something I forgot to ask."

"What is it?"

"It’s about the chaos water. Where and when did the book Shen Xu get it?"

"Don’t worry. He got it after leaving the secret realm. We don’t have to worry about it for the time being." Shen Xu assured and Zhen Yuan sighed in relief.

"Okay. Just keep it in mind. We can’t let the treasure fall into other people’s hands."

"Don’t worry. The book Shen Xu was alone when he found the chaos water. It should be his destined opportunity."

After that, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu sorted their gains into five piles.

The first pile was things Zhen Yuan could use, the second was for Shen Xu, the third for Yang Shi, the fourth for Xiaomu and the last for things they couldn’t use.

After putting away the first four piles, the two began to sort the fifth pile,

Soon after, the treasures were divided into four piles.

The first pile was for things that could improve the space, the second was precious things that couldn’t be easily sold, the third was for treasures that could be sold at auction, and the fourth was for things that could be sold at ordinary shops.

"We should openly sell these things." Zhen Yuan said, pointing at the fourth pile.

"Openly?" Shen Xu asked in a surprised voice.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded and quickly continued.

"We bought fifty-two stones. If we don’t sell some things, we will give people an opportunity to overthink."

"You mean..." Shen Xu frowned and Zhen Yuan nodded before speaking.

"People will think that either the treasures are too valuable for us to sell or they are all suitable for us to use. At that point, they may suspect we have a way of looking into the stones."

"You are right. We do need to sell some things to avoid suspicion. We may even have to take out some of our personal stash to make up the numbers." Shen Xu agreed.

"Xiaoxu, we can’t retreat in our courtyard." Zhen Yuan said.

"Do you suspect someone will come to disturb us?"

"It’s highly likely." Zhen Yuan nodded.

He didn’t worry that their cultivation would go wrong because of being disturbed.

After all, they wouldn’t really be retreating in the courtyard.

What he worried about was that someone would break into their courtyard and discover they weren’t there.

At that time, their situation would turn from bad to worse.

After thinking about it, Shen Xu felt Zhen Yuan was right to worry so he immediately began to think of a solution.

A moment later, he looked at Zhen Yuan with an uncertain face.

"Brother Yuan, shall we rent a cultivation cave?" He asked.

"It’s the best way." Zhen Yuan nodded and quickly continued.

"However, we can’t rent from the Tan family or other clans in the city."
