Upon arriving at a bookstore called Miaobi Tower with Li Yunshan, Zhao Yang rushed directly to the store owner to inquire about the location of the art albums. The store owner was a lecherous middle-aged man who, upon hearing Zhao Yang's intention to buy an album, looked up and immediately lit up with interest.
"This little boy—oh no, I mean this handsome young man—what are you looking to buy?" The store owner asked with a lewd grin, staring at Zhao Yang as if he already knew the answer.
Zhao Yang felt like a little sheep being eyed by a hungry wolf; chills ran down his spine, and sweat trickled down the back of his head. He cleared his throat, blushing as he said, "Uh, shopkeeper, I'm here to buy an art album. Please be serious."
The owner, upon hearing Zhao Yang's words, acted as if he were an old friend meeting after many years. He placed a hand on Zhao Yang's shoulder and swallowed hard before saying, "Of course, of course! After all, we are both respectable people; it’s time to be serious."
Zhao Yang felt goosebumps all over and pushed away the owner's hand from his shoulder. Stammering, he said, "I think I'll look for it myself; I actually don’t need to buy anything."
The store owner realized his bluntness and thought to himself that this young man was quite perceptive. With a sly smile, he rubbed his hands together and returned to the counter.
Zhao Yang secretly sighed in relief and mused, "It seems that no matter which world you’re in, there are always creeps around!"
He approached the bookshelves in the store and began searching through the categorized art albums. However, after reviewing all the albums, he found nothing that matched what he was looking for. Turning back to glance at the grinning store owner at the counter, Zhao Yang cleared his throat again. "Ahem, um..."
"You must be looking for books that we both enjoy," the store owner interjected at just the right moment.
Zhao Yang nodded but then shook his head. "Well... my friend is of marriageable age now, so I'm looking for some normal male-female intimate illustrations." Having received higher education in his previous life, he felt no embarrassment about certain topics; however, facing this lecherous bookstore owner still sent shivers down his spine.
Upon hearing Zhao Yang's words, the store owner displayed a knowing expression. "Oh, I see! I understand now, young man!"
"You understand nothing!" Zhao Yang finally couldn't hold back any longer and exclaimed with a flushed face.
The bookstore owner raised an eyebrow, leaning closer to Zhao Yang with a flirtatious grin. "Of course I understand, but unfortunately, the prejudices of the world and the shackles of reality bind our thoughts." As he spoke, he placed a hand on Zhao Yang's shoulder again.
"Shackles my foot! You perverted creep! If you don't have what I want, I'm leaving," Zhao Yang said, brushing off the owner's unwelcome hand with an impatient expression.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry, young man. I have what you want, right here." With that, the bookstore owner opened the lower shelf of a cabinet filled with art books and pulled out an ancient-looking book. The cover was yellow, emblazoned with the bold title "Gentleman."
The bookstore owner lewdly flipped open the "Gentleman," revealing pages filled with suggestive illustrations. Zhao Yang took the book, glanced at it, and found nothing wrong. After checking the price on the back cover, he paid the silver coins and waited by the door for Li Yunshan to escape in a flurry, completely ignoring the frustrated expression of the bookstore owner behind him.
Once outside the bookstore, Zhao Yang felt a sense of relief as he hurried alongside Li Yunshan toward City Lord's Mansion Square. Upon arriving at the square, they were met with a sea of people. In the center stood three white jade gates, each adorned with an orange-gold groove at the top. Embedded within each groove was a glowing crystal. Anyone with a Spiritual Root passing through the gates would cause the crystals to light up; the intensity of their glow indicated the strength of their Spiritual Root. Generally speaking, top-tier Single Attribute Spiritual Roots emitted a brilliant light, while Dual Attribute Spiritual Roots shone brightly. In contrast, those with multiple and mixed attributes produced only faint glows. The Myriad Spirit Sect rarely selected disciples from those who emitted weak light.
Once at the square, Zhao Yang instructed Li Yunshan to queue behind the crowd while he scanned around as if searching for someone.
Suddenly, he spotted a peculiar Chubby standing behind a Spirit Testing Officer, sporting a mischievous smile.
"Books for sale! Small books for sale! The best small books in the world—secrets of the Cultivation realm!" Zhao Yang's current cultivation level prevented him from using sound transmission techniques effectively. To avoid drawing attention from others, he whispered softly while secretly condensing his True Qi into a thread that reached the peculiar boy's ear in an incomprehensible manner.
The peculiar boy perked up upon hearing about small books for sale—especially secrets of the Cultivation realm. He had just arrived in Yuwang City that morning with his sect's Outer Sect Elder while other disciples were there to test their Spiritual Roots for new recruits. He found himself enjoying some leisure time instead.
Zhao Yang had noticed something unusual about this boy when he saw him on top of a giant sword outside the city. He recognized that the elder leading them was likely an important figure or senior member of their sect while other disciples appeared serious and cautious around him. They seemed afraid to show any signs of mischief in front of the elder standing at the tip of the sword. Only this boy sitting at the end of the sword hilt looked relaxed and unbothered by their height; unlike his peers who stood rigidly as if afraid of falling off, he seemed completely at ease.
Thus, when Zhao Yang decided to help Li Yunshan enter Myriad Spirit Sect, he thought of this peculiar chubby boy. He could tell they were about the same age and understood that in this still somewhat conservative world, boys at this age often developed strong interests in certain areas without any proper education on such matters. Therefore, he was certain that illustrations like those in "Gentleman" would pique this adolescent's interest far more than ordinary treasures or silver coins.
The boy glanced around and noticed no one was watching him before quietly approaching Zhao Yang. He got straight to the point: "What is that small book you mentioned? Secrets of the Cultivation realm? If you’re trying to trick me, watch out—I’ll make sure your backside blooms."
Zhao Yang smiled mischievously and said, "How could I deceive you, Master? In fact, the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew we would definitely be good brothers in the future. When it comes time for the test..."
The young boy secretly took the "Gentleman" that Zhao Yang handed over. He understood that the title was merely a facade. Casually flipping to the first page, he was greeted by an image he had never seen before, one that made his blood race. He quickly tucked it into his embrace and cleared his throat, pretending to be serious as he said, "I'll make sure to take good care of you during the test." With that, he vanished in a flash, his face flushed. Ever since he was little, he had been the troublemaker of the Sect, and no one had ever treated him like a normal child. This was also his first time venturing far from home, and it was the first time someone had bribed him with something so taboo. In that moment of embarrassment, he decided to avoid others for fear of being looked down upon.
But before Zhao Yang could finish his sentence, he floated nearby and added, "Make sure to look after my friend during the inspection; I'm a genius myself..."
