Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 217: Change of Plans

"Alchemist Yuan, what evidence do you have that the purple light flowers can be found in the Purple Bamboos Forest and the ruins of the Lingtian sect?" Tan Cheng suddenly asked.

"Evidence..." Shen Xu muttered; his eyes wider than copper coins. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

A moment later, he removed a thick book from the space library and opened to a page; halfway through the book.

"It’s all here." He said and gestured for Tan Cheng to look at the page.

On the page was a drawing of a spiritual grass.

The herb was half a metre tall, ten centimetres wide, and had a three-petal flower at its peak.

Although the three petals were yellow, they exuded a purple light that was palpable even from within a book.

"The purple light flower." Tan Cheng stated and began reading the introduction.

Less than ten breaths later, he closed the book and a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.

’Alchemist Yuan is right. This book mentions that the purple light flower can be found in the Purple Bamboos Forest and the ruins of the Lingtian sect. Did my Tan family really wrong alchemist Yuan?"

Thinking this way, Tan Cheng looked at Shen Xu and couldn’t help but feel a little apologetic.

However, this was not the time for that.

Now that he had information about the spirit grass, he needed to rush home to inform his father and brothers.

"Alchemist Yuan, can I borrow this book?" He asked.

"I won’t lend it to you but I will let you copy the page."

Kidding!

The book was a comprehensive compendium of spirit grasses and poisonous weeds.

Not only did it introduce the spirit grasses and poisonous weeds, but it also detailed where to find them.

Now that he thought about it, Shen Xu felt a little regretful that he exposed the book.

However, the deed was already done and he couldn’t take it back.

In that case, he could only minimise the loss and prevent the Tan family from getting the precious compendium without paying a corresponding price.

’I need to be more careful in the future.’ He thought.

"Thank you, alchemist Yuan." Tan Cheng said and hurriedly copied the page.

Although he felt it was a pity that his Tan family didn’t get a free copy of the book, he restrained his greed and focused on what was important.

Soon after, Tan Cheng and Zhao Fei left the shop.

[Good job.] Zhen Yuan praised, rubbing the double’s hair.

[I just thought of it.] Shen Xu stuck out his tongue and his lips curled in a mischievous smile.

[What do you think the Tan family will do? Will they stop plotting against us?]

[Unlikely.]

[I also think so.] Shen Xu sighed and no longer bothered to think about the Tan family.

After that, the two settled down and began drinking wine while waiting for customers.

Time passed in this way and before they knew it, it was already evening.

Generally, most shops in Formation City didn’t close in the evening.

After all, cultivators above the golden core realm could go without food and sleep. Even if they were tired, they only needed to meditate to recover their strength.

However, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu opened their shop for half a day and used the rest of the time to practice, eat, sleep, and be together.

This time, after closing the shop, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t enter the space.

Instead, they went to the attached courtyard to wait for the people who had been eyeing their treasures for the past one hundred years.

"It’s already been one hundred years. These thieves and robbers are too annoying." Shen Xu complained.

"Birds die for food and cultivators die for resources. It’s expected that they would try to rob us."

"But does it make sense?" Shen X sneered and quickly continued.

"We have been in retreat for one hundred years. Even if we had natural treasures, they are long gone."

"The natural treasures may be gone but what about weapons, refining material and such? These robbers are betting on the possibility that we still have some good things in our hands."

Shen Xu chuckled when he heard that.

They indeed had a lot of good things.

However, it was debatable whether those greedy people had the ability to take them.

Thinking that, the double narrowed his eyes and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Ayuan, when do you plan to enter the Formation Tower?"

"I will wait until things calm down."

"When will that be?"

"After we get quotas to enter the Yunshan secret realm and after we know how the Tan family plans to deal with us."

Shen Xu fell into silence when he heard that.

A moment later, he nodded and looked at Zhen Yuan.

"We should leave the Formation Tower City after we get the quotas. Later, I will enter the space and you will disguise to enter the tower."

"Good." Zhen Yuan agreed but soon frowned.

"XiaoXu, how long will the Yunshan secret realm be open?" He asked.

"Five hundred years." The double answered with a thoughtful expression.

From how it was described in the book, the Yunshan secret realm was extremely vast.

Most importantly, it had been opened countless times but never seemed to lack cultivation resources.

"Five hundred years..." Zhen Yuan frowned.

"What are you thinking?"

"I will not enter the formation tower for the time being."

"Why?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but be confused.

After all, they had always planned for Zhen Yuan to clear the tower before entering the Yunshan secret realm.

That way, they wouldn’t have to return to the Formation Tower City after coming out of the secret realm.

"I have three reasons." Zhen Yuan started.

"First, there are only twelve years before the opening of the secret realm."

"We already knew that."

"Yes, but I didn’t know we would stay in the secret realm for five hundred years. XiaoXu, if we find good resources, we will retreat in the space to improve our cultivation and skills. That five hundred years could easily turn into five thousand years. Do you get what I mean?"
