Beauty and the Bodyguard

Although Lin Yi still didn't know the exact details of this thing, his intuition told him that this thing must have a big background. Something that even he was interested in, naturally, was not small.

As the saying goes, treasures have spirits. Every treasure of heaven and earth is waiting for its fated person. This is an opportunity that belongs to everyone!

Although Lin Yi still hadn't found out the true use of the star inkstone from that damn thing, the telepathic connection he had with it was real. He could clearly feel the connection between him and the star inkstone, and it was clear that there would be an unexpected surprise waiting for him once he got his hands on it!

But just as Lin Yi was looking forward to the star inkstone, a hundred miles away in the residence of an inner sect disciple, there was someone even more obsessed with the stone than him. He couldn't even sleep or rest during the day.

If Lin Yi was here, he would be shocked and alert. This man was Yu Zhe, the rising Sky Pavilion inner sect disciple he met at the Hong Chamber of Commerce.

Compared to the other inner sect disciples of the rising Sky Pavilion, Yu Zhe could barely be considered a second generation cultivator, but his background was far from as deep as a young master like Xu lingchong. In the soaring Pavilion, if one didn't have a powerful background, then one had to have great strength. Otherwise, one would be wantonly bullied by others and never be able to stand out.

Therefore, Yu Zhe had always been very attentive. In addition to his daily cultivation, the place he went most often was the library Pavilion.

As long as they paid a symbolic fee of a tiny bit of spirit Jade, they would be able to read tens of thousands of ancient classics every month. This was a treatment that only inner sect disciples of the rising Sky Pavilion could enjoy!

As for the inner sect disciples of the other two pavilions, if they wanted to enter the library Pavilion, the price they had to pay was not just a little bit of spirit Jade. The price they had to pay for just a casual trip in was absolutely painful.

There was no other reason other than the fact that the library Pavilion was built on the territory managed by the rising Sky Pavilion.

As an inner sect disciple of the rising Sky Pavilion who didn't have a strong background, Yu Zhe knew that if he wanted to stand out, he couldn't just rely on his hard work. He had to have some kind of unexpected fortuitous encounter, and the opportunity of the fortuitous encounter was often hidden in these ancient books.

In order to get closer to these ancient books, Yu Zhe, as an inner sect disciple of the high and mighty rising Sky Pavilion, even took the initiative to apply to be a small manager of the library Pavilion. After three whole years, he had become familiar with the ancient books and classics in the library Pavilion, and he had memorized them by heart.

In addition to the library, the other place Yu Zhe often went to was the market. Naturally, there was nothing to see on the outer and middle streets, but the mysterious and high-end inner streets often had some unexpected treasures, some treasures that many people could not understand but contained profound meanings.

However, the inner street wasn't a place that anyone could enter easily. Although Yu Zhe was an inner sect disciple of the rising Sky Pavilion, his background wasn't particularly deep, and his strength wasn't particularly strong. He also hadn't obtained any dazzling results in the competition between the three pavilions, so he had never been able to obtain the recognition of the inner street.

The only chance he had to enter the inner street was during the monthly opening day.

Opportunities were always given to those who were prepared. After Yu Zhe's untiring efforts, he finally found what he had been dreaming of on the inner street opening day a few days ago. It was an opportunity that could help people reach the peak, although it was neglected by everyone.

Those were the star inkstones recorded in the ancient books!

Every time he thought of the black stone, Yu Zhe couldn't help but feel excited. This was a treasure that even the Hong Chamber of Commerce had misjudged! Although the price of 1000 spiritual jades was not considered low, if it was really as the ancient books said, its true value was far more than 1000 spiritual jades. It could be more than ten times or even a hundred times more!

It was a pity that Yu Zhe didn't have 1000 spirit jades on hand at the time. Although he was an inner sect disciple of the rising Sky Pavilion, and his monthly salary was far higher than the disciples of the other two pavilions, it was still unrealistic to expect to earn 1000 spirit jades with this little salary.

Moreover, he had been staying in the library Pavilion as a steward for the past three years and had not gone out to do any high-return missions. Therefore, he was not as well-off as the other inner disciples of the rising Sky Pavilion.

But fortunately, Yu Zhe had already told someone that he would borrow a thousand spirit Jade before the inner Street's opening day next month. Although the interest rate was extremely high, as long as he successfully bought the star inkstone, the return it brought would be at least ten times or even a hundred times!

As long as he waited for less than a month, he would be able to buy the star inkstone recorded in the ancient books. Yu Zhe's surging emotions at this moment could be imagined. This was a treasure that could change his life!

Yu Zhe wasn't worried that someone would buy the star inkstone before him, because the star inkstone was far more rare than any other treasure. This could be seen from the fact that even the Hong clan's treasure appraiser didn't recognize its true value. It was only out of the intuition of an appraiser that this item was not ordinary, so it was only symbolically priced at 1000 spiritual Jade.

Apart from Yu Zhe himself, who had read ancient books for this purpose, no one else would know the use of this star inkstone, let alone spend a thousand spirit Jade to buy this strange stone. Therefore, Yu Zhe was determined to get it.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar figure flashed through Yu Zhe's mind. It was the day he found the star inkstone, the grassroots rogue cultivator that he had never met before, standing beside him. From the looks of it, he seemed to be interested in the star inkstone. Could it be that guy also knew the value of the star inkstone?

As soon as this thought appeared, Yu Zhe laughed at himself. Not to mention that grassroots rogue cultivators did not have the opportunity to come into contact with any ancient classics, the possibility of him recognizing the star inkstone was almost zero. Moreover, even if he recognized it, so what? could he possibly gather a thousand spirit Jade to buy it before him?

However, even though he was mocking himself, he could not afford to lose this star inkstone. No matter how absurd the idea was, he had to nip the risk in the bud.

It was better to be safe than sorry. He decided to wait there the night before the opening of the inner street next month and buy the star inkstone as soon as possible. This way, even if that grassroots rogue cultivator also took a fancy to the star inkstone and managed to collect a thousand spirit Jade, he would only be able to look at it and sigh.

This is an opportunity and fortune that belongs to me alone. No one can take it away from me! With its help, I will walk on the path to the peak!

At the same time, Lin Yi didn't know that his competitor had already made all the preparations! (To be continued.)
