Seeing Chu Tian's hesitation, Wu Xiuer took out her smoking pipe and took a drag, then said, "You can't find what you want here either?"
Chu Tian turned to look at Wu Xiuer and nodded, "Is there more?"
"Yes, the third floor, also the last one. There aren't many books there, only some ancient stone carvings and jade carvings. I don't know if you can find the book you're looking for."
After saying that, Wu Xiuer took another drag from her smoking pipe, then looked towards the entrance to the third floor and exhaled.
Instantly, a snake formed from smoke flew towards the entrance of the third floor.
Soon, the snake-shaped smoke seemed to encounter some kind of barrier and quickly formed a ring that could accommodate one person.
"Let's go, young Chu Tian, let's go to the third floor and take a look, and have a cup of tea. Even if we don't make a deal, there's still goodwill, don't you agree?" After saying this, Wu Xiuer, with her tall and slender legs, took the lead towards the third floor.
Chu Tian quickly followed, entering the ring formed by the smoke, and instantly found that everything around him seemed to shift as if through the stars, and they unexpectedly appeared in a cave.
This move surprised Chu Tian greatly, such control of space talent was extraordinary, it seemed that this Wu Xiuer was no ordinary person.
Unfortunately, Chu Tian's system couldn't examine Wu Xiuer's talent and level, otherwise, he would have really liked to know what kind of existence this shop owner was.
Entering the corridor of the cave, they soon found the cave open up, and an ancient Taoist temple appeared before them.
The temple was built directly inside the cave, with wooden pillars and eaves, and various porch paintings and paintwork, showing that it had been renovated.
Wu Xiuer, seeing Chu Tian's curiosity, explained with a smile, "This Taoist temple is where I was born a long time ago. Later, when I grew up, I couldn't bear to leave it, so I used my abilities to bring it with me, and finally settled it here in Ghost Market."
After finishing, Wu Xiuer proudly said, "I've always maintained its original appearance here, and the place is full of spiritual energy, otherwise, I might still be a..."
She suddenly stopped talking about herself.
Chu Tian pretended not to mind and asked, "Can you give me a tour?"
The Taoist temple wasn't big. The main hall had a plaque with black background and gold characters reading "Sanqing Hall."
After entering with Wu Xiuer, they could see the door behind the Sanqing statues, leading directly to the residential area in the backyard.
Chu Tian examined the area with his spiritual power, finding one side to be a meditation room and the other side the book storage area, but the books here were all bamboo scrolls and some small wooden boxes the size of a palm.
After touring around, Chu Tian discovered that although the Taoist temple was small, it was complete in every aspect, and the concentration of spiritual energy here was not much less than outside.
"Alright, the book storage is right here. You can borrow the books for a fee, but can't take them away," Wu Xiuer said, waving her hand, and suddenly a round table with an antique look and two wooden chairs appeared in the study.
Then, a small stove and two teacups appeared on the round table.
Afterward, Wu Xiuer put a copper kettle on the small stove.
Chu Tian looked at Wu Xiuer and asked, "How much does it cost to borrow a book once?"
"Fair and honest, just fifty pieces of first-level spiritual energy crystals for one book," Wu Xiuer said lightly.
Chu Tian didn't hesitate and took out two hundred first-level spiritual energy crystals and placed them in front of Wu Xiuer.
Wu Xiuer smiled slightly, gestured invitingly with her hand, and Chu Tian began to examine the books with his spiritual power.
The bamboo scrolls here were all Taoist scriptures. Although they contained many techniques for cultivating Qi, they were very profound. After careful examination, Chu Tian took out a bamboo scroll labeled "Alchemy" and started reading it.
In a moment, the water in the copper kettle boiled. Wu Xiuer sprinkled seven tea leaves into the kettle, and soon the aroma of tea filled the air.
However, as Chu Tian wondered why only seven tea leaves were used, Wu Xiuer poured a cup of tea in front of Chu Tian's cup.
Chu Tian thanked her and took a sip of the tea, finding it different from the tea he drank in his previous life.
Upon entering his mouth, he felt it warming his heart. After drinking it, Chu Tian felt his sensitivity to spiritual energy seemed to have increased slightly.
This made Chu Tian temporarily put down the bamboo scroll and look at the cup of tea
