After accepting the "deposit" paid by Ye Qianqian, Yang Yuyao took out a brocade bag, a small scale, and a pen and paper. He carefully weighed the weight of the gold ingot and wrote two copies of "Collect the deposit gold from Ye Qianqian today." Two taels." There was also the date and signature. Yang Yuyao thought for a while and added the words witness.

"Troublesome, Ziqi, please sign these two pieces of paper as a witness. Miss Ye, please also sign your name on these two pieces of paper. I will give you a copy when the ink dries." Yang Yu Yao explained these two self-made "receipts" to the two of them, "Miss Ye, you put a total of two taels of gold here with me. From now on, I will make a bill for all the expenses on the way to Xuanzhen Sect. Then at that time, Depending on the situation, more refunds and less compensation, Miss Ye, do you agree with this plan?"

"Well, okay, I agree." Ye Qianqian, who had absolutely no idea that Yang Yuyao would arrange it like this, said in surprise, signed her name without hesitation, and looked at Yang Yuyao with brighter eyes. Yi Ziqi looked at Yang Yuyao with a hint of admiration, but Yang Yuyao was entirely focused on whether the two receipts were correct and did not notice the change in their eyes. Because he doesn't want to look at people, after all, this is a deal. If Yang Yuyao is asked to take the lead in research, even at a young age, he can lead the team to success, but if he is asked to conduct transaction negotiations, it will be difficult for him not to be so nervous that his hands are shaking.

"By the way, won't Fellow Daoist Yi come with us?" Although she is still a little girl, Ye Qianqian realized that her companions would change in the future through Yang Yuyao's arrangement throughout the process. Although Yang Yuyao made Ye Qianqian feel very reliable, even in his disguise, he didn't look much older than Ye Qianqian. Therefore, even if the cultivation level was not enough to distinguish the two people's cultivation level, Ye Qianqian instinctively felt that it would be more secure if Yi Ziqi, who looked older and taller, could also go together.

"It's hard to say. This trip is just after Ziqi completed his mission and returned to Lingxiao Sect." Seeing that Yi Ziqi was still a little distracted, Yang Yuyao said, "If you return to the sect, you can't have to leave again so soon, right?" Although this It was just Yang Yuyao's guess, but it was indeed the case. The major sects with strict management basically required disciples to not leave the sect and move around at will unless they were on vacation and doing tasks. This is done firstly to facilitate supervision of disciples’ cultivation, and secondly to facilitate management. However, there is a compromise plan for disciples who prefer freedom, which is to apply for long-term garrison missions like Zhaosizhen and Xiaoxi Town. The management of these tasks will be much looser, but at the same time, there are many chores away from the sect, which is not conducive to practice, so there are many disciples who are not willing to take on such tasks.

"That's true..." Yi Ziqi agreed with Yang Yuyao's words in a low mood. He had always returned to the sect after completing his tasks to continue practicing and improve his cultivation, but this time he didn't want to return to the sect so quickly. Perhaps it was because this time he had a friend who was not from the same sect, and Yang Yuyao's amnesia made him worry about whether he would be able to reach the location of Xuanzhen Sect smoothly without him. "But I will see if I can take on any missions and go with you." Yi Ziqi said, but even if he didn't check the existing missions in the Lingxiao Sect mission hall, he also knew that he would not be able to take the missions that go to the vicinity of Xuanzhen Sect. Task. Each sect has its own sphere of influence. If you enter the sphere of influence of the Xuanzhen Sect with a mission, it is tantamount to challenging the Xuanzhen Sect!

"Yeah, okay." Yang Yuyao simply agreed. He didn't mean to be perfunctory, but he suddenly felt that it was not good to clearly express his approval or opposition to Yi Ziqi's plan. "Where should we go next?" In front of them, three roads in different directions suddenly appeared.

"Take the road on the left. It's better for me to drive. After all, this is my driver's job." Yi Ziqi touched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't control my emotions well, it was ridiculous."

"It's okay, how is your spiritual power recovering?" Yang Yuyao asked in a low voice. There were gradually more carriages and pedestrians on this road. In order to avoid being followed by the Wang family, Ye Qianqian retracted into the carriage and meditated. After practicing, Yang Yuyao didn't need to worry about his chat with Yi Ziqi being heard by her or passers-by who passed by in a hurry.

"Almost one-third recovered." Yi Ziqi responded with a dry smile. He also knew that he almost destroyed himself because of his wrong judgment. Under normal circumstances, a monk can recover all his spiritual power within one day, but the speed will vary depending on his cultivation level and the techniques he practices. But this normal situation does not include using spiritual power until it is exhausted. When the spiritual power is used to the point where there is not a drop left, it is another situation to recover, because it is easy to damage the foundation when it reaches this level. If you are lucky, you can slowly recover after a few days of rest. If you are unlucky, you will not be able to recover in this life. Don't even think about using your spiritual power anymore. Therefore, in order to recover as soon as possible, Yi Ziqi avoided using spiritual power as much as possible these days.

"That's good." Yang Yuyao took out the book of casual cultivation and read it carefully.

"Sure enough, A Yuan doesn't look like a casual cultivator." While Yang Yuyao was quietly absorbing new knowledge, he didn't know that Yi Ziqi was becoming more and more curious about him and was secretly guessing about Yang Yuyao's true background. . "Perhaps A Yuan feels that he is a casual cultivator because his amnesia has caused him to lose contact with his previous relationship. Although A Yuan showed obvious caution and alienation when I first met him, we didn't get along for a long time. It feels like I have completely let down my guard. And I don’t hesitate to help strangers. This is not like the habit of a casual cultivator. As the most difficult survival cultivator, if you want to survive and advance to the level of cultivation, casual cultivators basically They are all vigilant and sensitive, and will try their best to avoid all kinds of troubles that will not help improve their cultivation and will not bring benefits to themselves. It will be very difficult to gain the complete trust of casual cultivators... Even if they lose their memory, It’s impossible to change the habits that are ingrained into your bones so completely.”

Yi Ziqi knows a lot of casual cultivators, so he is relatively familiar with them. Even if they have different personalities, they all put their interests first and it is difficult to get along with them. Because of this, the casual cultivators Yi Ziqi has known for the longest time have been around the same time as he has been a monk, and he has not been able to become friends.

"...Which young master will he be? Or is he a monk from a sect like me?" Yi Ziqi thought to himself, and silently shook his head in denial. Yi Ziqi felt that Yang Yuyao gave him the feeling that he was... A person who grew up in a relatively secluded environment, "Could it be that he comes from those small sects that are hidden from the world? But I think A Yuan has a special temperament, a bit like a scholar...but not the same."

In this world without electricity and artificial light sources everywhere, night seems to come earlier, as if the sunset has just dyed the clouds a layer of pale pink, and in the blink of an eye, the night is about to swallow up all the light around it. . After leaving Xiaoxi Town, the tall trees gradually decreased and were replaced by more shrubs and grass as tall as a person. They chose a rare open space that was not swallowed up by wild shrubs and weeds as their resting place tonight. The place was full of broken and charred wooden slats, and even a broken pillar remained. They can start a fire again without even having to find firewood.

"This used to be an inn," Yi Ziqi told Yang Yuyao and Ye Qianqian why it was so special and why he chose to stay overnight again. "A fire destroyed it the year before last. Fortunately, the guests and the innkeepers escaped quickly, and no one was killed. But the innkeeper and his wife didn't know where they went after that. No one has built a new inn nearby. If If you want to stay at an inn, the nearest one can be reached only tomorrow night at the earliest according to the distance."

"Let's spend the night here. I bought such a big carriage specifically so that I can spend the night conveniently when there is no inn." Yang Yuyao said. This is not the first time they have camped in the wild. Even now that there is an extra Ye Qianqian, it is crowded. It's still okay to squeeze in. The three of them are monks, so it doesn't matter if they can't sleep all night.

"Yeah, I agree. This should save some money." Ye Qianqian also agreed. Although she was a young lady from an aristocratic family, she didn't feel any emotion because she had to sleep in the wild. This made both Yang Yuyao and Yi Ziqi breathe a sigh of relief.

They randomly picked up some scraps of wood and quickly built a large firewood pile. Using his spiritual power, Yang Yuyao lit the fire easily, but he could not control the size of the fire well. One moment, the fire was blazing and the flames were several meters high. The next moment, the flames were so small that they were about to go out, and a lot of thick smoke was emitted. Several people choked and coughed repeatedly. Finally, Yi Ziqi used a long wooden stick to flick the flames a few times, and the flames became steady.

"It's really amazing. It's much more difficult than magic." Yang Yuyao said with admiration. He said it sincerely, but it attracted strange looks from Yi Ziqi and Ye Qianqian. If the two of them understood the language used in Yang Yuyao's original world, they would definitely say to him, "Listen, what do people say?!"

"Don't worry about the fire, it can last for a long time." In order to prevent Yang Yuyao and the others from messing around and causing the fire to go out, Yi Ziqi specially explained. "I'll go get some water and come back."

"Okay." Yang Yuyao nodded, took out the leftover pastries from last night's supper from the storage ring and handed them to Ye Qianqian. Both he and Yi Ziqi had already abstained from grains, so there was no compulsory need for food. For convenience, they did not bring more food with them. But for Ye Qianqian, who has just entered Qi training, eating is a must. Monks in the Qi training realm even need more food than ordinary people of the same age.

"Thank you." Ye Qianqian took the snack with both hands, her baby-fat cheeks flushed red by the firelight. She didn't know that Yang Yuyao didn't include the snacks she had for lunch and dinner today into her bill, and she didn't care whether Yang Yuyao really kept accounts. At only twelve years old and the second daughter, she has not yet had the opportunity to come into contact with the family's capital flow, and she is not yet so sensitive to money. She just relied on the intuition of a small animal to instinctively trust Yang Yuyao who was willing to help her. "Excuse me, can I call you Brother Yuan?"

"Well, you can call me Brother Yuan." Yang Yuyao thought for a while and replied.

"Why is there one less word?" Ye Qianqian asked very puzzledly.

"This will sound more, um... more mature." Yang Yuyao replied. Yang Yuyao still cares a little about how he is called. Even if the name Gu Yuan is fake, it is still a pseudonym that Yi Ziqi guessed from his bad pronunciation. He doesn't like it when others call him and it sounds slimy. And when Yang Yuyao hears the word "brother," the image of a girl wearing a big bow and holding a lollipop pops up in his mind... Goosebumps arose.

"Okay, I understand, Brother Yuan." Although she didn't understand it very well, she could feel that the title with one less word was more domineering, and Ye Qianqian agreed obediently. "Brother Yuan, you can call me Qianqian, and the same goes for brother Ziqi!" Ye Qianqian added when she saw Yi Ziqi coming back.

"Okay." Yi Ziqi happily agreed, carrying several bags full of water bags.

Since they brought no food that could be processed and had no intention of hunting food here, they lit fires not to cook food but to deter predators and keep warm. Even though they, as monks, have spiritual energy to protect their bodies and will not feel cold because of this, the feeling of being warmed by a fire in such a cool night is still very comfortable.

It's just that this world is special, and it's not just hungry beasts that threaten safety. So when he saw everyone gathered, Yang Yuyao, who was about to set up a ban to increase the security of this place, suddenly thought that he should keep a low profile, even if it was a fake identity, he could not reveal too much ability, so he removed the entanglement finger. With sharp spiritual power, he summoned three talismans, namely the Thunder Talisman, the Royal Talisman and the Warning Talisman. The yellow talisman flew in three directions, surrounding the three people, the horse, the red comet, and the carriage. Then it spontaneously ignited out of thin air, and the vermilion runes flew out and turned into several blue-purple electric lights, and then disappeared into the air.

"Wow! It's a talisman!" Ye Qianqian exclaimed in surprise. Even with the lowest level of cultivation, she could feel that the disappearing talismans turned into an invisible protective shield to protect them silently.

"Three Talisman Arrays?" Compared to Ye Qianqian, who was still young in practice, Yi Ziqi, who had a master who was a master of talismans, could not make talismans by himself, but his knowledge of talismans was beyond that of ordinary monks. Usually monks use talismans to draw out the spells in them for simple spell superposition, or to attach them to items such as weapons to increase their lethality or defense. The talisman array is not a formation, but the effect of the talisman is used in a specific way to create functions that were not originally available and more powerful power! If the regular use of talismans is one plus one equals two, the talisman array can be used. You can get the effect that one plus one equals five, or even equals ten.

Being able to obtain such amazing effects naturally shows how difficult it is to use the talisman array. Yi Ziqi was once again amazed by Yang Yuyao's talent in talismans, but Yang Yuyao didn't know it. He just relied on the knowledge in his mind and calculated that it was feasible, and he could use a few less talismans, and successfully used it. Just came out. If he knew that this would allow him to show his higher qualifications in talismans, he would probably choose to abandon this optimal plan and adopt a more conventional method.

The night was getting darker, perhaps because of their extra trust in the talisman array set up by Yang Yuyao, Yi Ziqi and Ye Qianqian didn't even return to the carriage, but sat around the fire and started practicing cross-legged.

"They are all self-disciplined people." Yang Yuyao admired silently in his heart, and then remembered that he seemed to have never practiced seriously for even a second since he came to this world, even though he had committed suicide three times on the first day. He soared to the point of becoming a god, but after that there were still several realms before he could reach the stage of transcending tribulation. After ascension, there may be realms such as the Mysterious Immortal, the Golden Immortal, the Great Luo Golden Immortal, etc. Although I don’t know which realm I will eventually reach, it may be like what is written in some novels. When the strength is strong enough, one can break the dimensional wall. You can choose to go to the world you want to go to. When the system is unreliable, trying one more option as an alternative should increase the chance of going back.

Yang Yuyao, who decided to follow Shan Ruliu, also sat down cross-legged to practice. However, just when he was about to start mobilizing the spiritual energy in his body, a mellow male voice suddenly jumped out of his mind, "Xiao Yao, don't use ordinary people's practice methods. "The voice said, "Your situation is special. You don't need to take the initiative to practice like others to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body circulation. It's not good for you to improve your cultivation too quickly. You just need to do what you want to do." This voice made Yang Yuyao felt familiar, but he couldn't figure out who the owner of the voice was. Such an unexpected and suspicious passage sounded in his mind, but Yang Yuyao found that he had inexplicably chosen to trust it without reservation, obeyed the arrangement of this passage, and gave up sitting cross-legged to practice with the other two people.
