Following the original owner’s memory, Liu Mufeng found the only bookstore in Shuangyang Town. Because it was morning, the bookstore had just opened for business. A young man was cleaning the shelves as the owner had just come out of the backyard.
“Ei, Ninth Young Master, you are here!” Seeing Liu Mufeng walking into the door, the owner immediately greeted him with a smile.
“Boss, I have a business matter I want to talk to you about. How about we go to the back?” Looking at the big-bellied owner, Liu Mufeng said with a smile.
“Okay, please come in, Ninth Young Master.” Then, with a smile on his face, the owner warmly invited Liu Mufeng to the lounge in the back.
It stood to reason that the original owner seldom went out when he was in the Liu family, and there should not be many people who knew him. However, there were always two kinds of people who were particularly famous in the cultivation world. The first kind were the geniuses, who were destined to crush others. Therefore, even though they rarely came out, they would still be known to others, just like Liu Muyan, the second cousin of the original owner. He was the first genius of Shuangyang Town. He had a single spiritual root and went to Lingwu Sect at the age of six. Lingwu Sect was the number one Sect in the Lingwu Continent. Hence, Liu Muyan was the pride of everyone in the Liu family.

The other kind who also got to be famous quickly were the waste woods, especially those from large families. These kind of people obviously had bad aptitudes. Still, because they were born into a big family, they had many great resources to cultivate. These kind of people were the worms of the prominent families. All the ordinary cultivators’ envy, jealousy and hatred were directed at them. It was also an existence that everyone knew without going out. The original owner was a typical waste material. An eldest young master born with a golden spoon in his mouth, a big family worm who occupied a hut and did not poop.
Because of the original owner’s five spiritual roots, he was also a famous person in Shuangyang Town. It was just that when others mentioned him, they would always look regretful or jealous. Some commoner cultivators would even say indignantly, ‘how could such a person with bad aptitude be born? If I was born into a big family like the Liu family, I would definitely be better than this trash!’

“Boss, how many books do you have in this bookstore?” Liu Mufeng asked, looking at the bookstore owner.
“Oh, not many, just over a thousand books.” Speaking of this, the boss smiled humbly.
“A thousand books, what kind of books are they?” Staring at the bookstore owner, Liu Mufeng asked again.
“Ah, the books I have here are all idle books. The first category is history books, which introduces the history of the Lingwu Continent for many years, including the successful history of many great people and many strange things. The second category is geography. Those books are about the local customs and geographical locations. The third category of books is the ones that introduce the demon beasts in the Lingwu Continent. The fourth category is the books introducing spiritual and poisonous plants. The first two types of books are two silvers a piece, and the following two kinds of books are 10 taels for each piece.” The owner looked at Liu Mufeng as he carefully introduced the books in his shop.
“Boss, there are too many books in your store. It would be difficult for me to buy them all. Look, can I rent books to read instead?” Looking at the boss, Liu Mufeng asked.
“Rent books? What is this renting method?” After having sold books for half a lifetime, it was the first time that the owner met a customer who wanted to rent books from him.
“In this way, I will be reading the books here, and I’ll give you a tael for five days. I promise I won’t break or soil your book, and when I’m done reading, your book can still be sold! What do you think? ” Liu Mufeng asked.
Hearing this, the owner touched his chin. “This……”
“Boss, don’t worry, I will definitely not break your book. You can still sell it after I read it. It would still be the same as if you had sold two.” Looking at the bookstore owner, Liu Mufeng tried his best to persuade the other party.
“Well, okay, since Ninth Young Master has spoken, I will let you rent the books according to your terms. However, it costs one or two silver a day.” After thinking about it, the bookstore owner immediately raised the price.
Hearing the owner’s words, Liu Mufeng nodded. “Yes, but I also have a small request. I want to read the books in this lounge. In addition, please replace the two chairs with a wooden bed. I will be staying here until I finished my reading.” Liu Mufeng knew that he would still have to spend an extra sum of money if he went to the inn. So, it was better to simply live there.
“Okay, that’s easy. I’ll make a bed for the Ninth Young Master in a while. However, the Ninth Young Master has to arrange your meals by yourself.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the owner readily agreed to the other party’s request.
“Okay, this is a spirit stone. I’ll pay for the book rent 100 days in advance.” Liu Mufeng knew that a thousand books could not be read within three months, so he directly gave the other one spirit Stone.
“Okay, Ninth Young Master is really a straightforward person.” Seeing the spirit stone, the owner couldn’t stop smiling. Then, holding the spirit stone, he went to find a single bed for Liu Mufeng.
It’s such an amazing cheat to have a photographic memory. He sure is smart to think of this method to study.
