At noon.

Snow began to fall from the gloomy sky.

After Luo Qingzhou returned to the residence, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and had a sumptuous lunch.

In the afternoon.

After Xiao Die went out to study, he left the residence alone and went to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

After entering the shop, he directly explained his purpose for coming.

The shop assistant eagerly led him upstairs and led him to a row of counters made of glass. He pointed at the items inside and said, “Young Master, these are spatial pouches. The other storage treasures are still on the upper level.”

Luo Qingzhou stood in front of the luxuriously decorated counter and immediately saw the palm-sized pouch at the side.

It was indeed a spatial pouch!

“Can you take this out? I want to have a look at it.”

Luo Qingzhou pointed at the smallest spatial bag that looked like a pouch.

The shop assistant hurriedly smiled and said, “Of course. Please wait a moment.”

He took the key and went to the counter. He unlocked it, took out the pouch, and handed it to him.

Luo Qingzhou took it and touched it. It was indeed made of the same material.

He was a little excited.

The spatial pouch he had found on the martial artist’s body looked bulging. There should be a lot of good things inside.

However, how should he open it?

“Is this the smallest storage bag? It looks quite cute, but I’ve never used it before. How should I use it?”

Luo Qingzhou did not find it embarrassing and asked directly.

The shop assistant enthusiastically introduced, “It’s very simple. You only need to drip a drop of your blood into it. When this storage bag glows slightly, you will then silently recite an incantation mentally as a password. In the future, whenever you want to use it, you only need to recite that particular incantation. You can pull open the mouth of the pouch, bring the item that you want to store close to the opening and use your divine sense to guide it in. When you take something from inside, it’ll be the same steps. You only need to recite the incantation and open the mouth of the pouch. Then, you will be able to see what’s inside. You only need to look at it with your eyes and guide it with your divine sense. It will come out by itself..

Luo Qingzhou listened carefully to his introduction and remembered the steps. He asked again, “Then if I accidentally lose it and someone else picks it up, can it be used?”

The shop assistant smiled and said, “Ordinary people can’t do it. Only those with high cultivation levels can forcefully break the incantation. However, there’s an exception. That is, if the owner accidentally dies or the storage bag hasn’t been used for more than a year, it will automatically break the incantation. The new master only needs to drip blood again for it to recognize him as its master.”

“I see.”

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression did not change. He looked at the storage bag in his hand seriously and asked, “How much does this cost?”

The shop assistant said with a smile, “Young Master, our shop has a rule. For spatial pouches, you can’t use silver taels to purchase them. You need gold coins or demon cores to settle the bill. If you convert it into silver taels, it’ll be about 800,000 taels. If you need this spatial pouch, we can give you a discount. You can pass us the skin, fur, bones, or demon cores of demon beasts if you have them. We will then sell the spatial pouch to you at a cheaper price…” Luo Qingzhou smiled bitterly and remarked, “It’s so expensive.”

Even though he had already asked for the price, hearing the price of 800,000 taels still made his heart tremble.

It seemed that the currency for the items of martial artists and mortals was different. There were demon cores, and silver taels could not even be used.

He returned the spatial pouch in his hand and said apologetically, “Sorry, I can’t afford it for the time being.”

The shop assistant took back the storage bag and still had a smile on his face. “It’s all right. Young Master, if you need anything next time, you can come again. There are other things in our shop. You can take a look at other items.”

Luo Qingzhou looked around and said, “Are there any books that introduce martial artists’ cultivation levels and various basic knowledge?”

The shop assistant smiled and said, “Yes, please wait a moment, Young Master.”

He locked the storage bag in the cabinet again before bringing Luo Qingzhou downstairs.

Luo Qingzhou flipped through the bookshelves on the second floor for a while. In the end, he bought three books on the different martial artists and left the shop.

He did not stroll around the streets anymore. He bought two sticks of candied hawthorn for Xiao Die and returned to the residence.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he suddenly realized that someone was standing in the courtyard.

She was dressed in a pink dress, and her black hair reached her waist. She was graceful and beautiful. She held a fresh flower in her hand. As she sniffed it, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “Sir, didn’t I tell you to rest at home? Where did you go?”

Why did it sound like a wife questioning her husband?

The newlywed wife complained to her husband, who had returned from his trip, “Didn’t I tell you to stay at home and accompany me? Where did you go again?”

Luo Qingzhou gave her a deep gaze and waved the book in his hand. “I went out to buy books.”

He turned the cover of the book to the side and faced himself with a calm expression. He deliberately hid the two sticks of candied hawthorn in his other hand behind his back.

Bai Ling was not interested in books and did not even look at them. However, she was very interested in the candied hawthorn that Luo Qingzhou had hidden behind his back in his other hand.

She immediately smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on her face. “Sir, what are you hiding behind?”

Luo Qingzhou shook his head. “Nothing.”

“Hmph, it’s candied hawthorn. I already saw it.”

Bai Ling immediately ran behind him and snatched it away. She giggled and said, “Sir, how did you know that I like to eat candied hawthorn? Thank you, Sir.”

As she spoke, she took a bite. She narrowed her eyes happily and said happily, “It’s so sweet!”

Luo Qingzhou turned around and faced her. Without batting an eyelid, he pressed the book against his side and reached out his other hand. “Leave me one stick.”

Bai Ling smiled and even gave him a skewer. She blinked playfully and said,

“Sir, remember to wash your body clean tonight. Serve Miss well and don’t be

lazy. ”

Her pink lips were stained with sticky sugar. After saying that, she suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Sir, it’s best if you do it three times tonight.’

After saying that, she waved her hand with a smile. With the candied hawthorn in one hand and the flower in the other, she walked away, like a butterfly fluttering off gracefully.

Luo Qingzhou stood rooted to the ground and watched her graceful figure disappear at the door. He was stunned for a moment before returning to the house.

He closed the door and placed the candied hawthorn in the gap in the windowsill.

Then, he closed the window and sat down in front of the table in front of the window. He took out the pouch-shaped storage bag.

Should he drip a drop of blood into it so that it would recognize him as its master?

He touched the storage bag and bit his fingertip without hesitation. He squeezed out blood and dripped it into the open wound.

After a moment, the storage bag began to glow with a faint milky white light.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt his divine sense move. It was as if he had established a strange connection with it. He immediately chanted an incantation in his heart: Weak scholar.

The reason why he used these words was to remind himself at every moment that he could not slack off. He had to work hard to become stronger and stop being a weak scholar. At the same time, he had to conceal his strength and bide his time. On the surface, he had to pretend to be a weak scholar.

The light on the storage bag suddenly began to flicker.

Then, the light gradually faded, and his gaze suddenly flew in through the open hole.

There was indeed another world inside!

Luo Qingzhou was excited. Just as he was about to open his eyes and take a closer look, he suddenly felt a familiar chill coming from outside the window.

At the same time, Bai Ling’s clear voice suddenly came from the courtyard outside. “Oh? Chanchan, I thought you went to feed that kitten again. Why are you here at Sir’s? Why are you standing there in a daze?”

Luo Qingzhou’s expression changed slightly as he hurriedly hid his storage bag.

Then, he got up and opened the window to look outside.

In the small courtyard, under the pear tree, a cold girl in a light green dress was standing there with her arms crossed and a sword in her arms. She stood there without moving. Her beautiful face was as cold as ice as she looked elsewhere.

Bai Ling stood at the entrance of the courtyard, holding a stick of candied hawthorn in her hand. As she ate, she smiled and said, “Chanchan, don’t tell me you want to eat candied hawthorn too. Unfortunately, there is no more. Sir only bought one stick for me. But if you beg me, I can give you one of the hawthorns.”

The sword-wielding girl ignored her and turned to look at Luo Qingzhou. She glanced at the stick of candied hawthorn on the windowsill before turning her face away and looking elsewhere. Her beautiful face was still as cold as before.

Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say..
