Chapter 338: Deja Vu, Yesterday Is Not the Same

A word foreword: Before I was ready to write about this world, I hesitated again and again. Even though I had already thought about this section when I first conceived the book, considering my writing skills, the style of the whole book, and everyone's preferences, I wondered if it would be better to change to another world? I even had that world in mind.

But after thinking for a long time, I decided to continue writing like this, because in this kind of immortal hero that is dominated by the mind, if Taoist Shi wants to achieve the Yuanshen, the problem of his previous life is unavoidable.

Psychology often says that a person's personality comes from childhood experiences, and Shi Xuan, as an adult, travels through time. His thoughts, concepts, and methods of doing things are inevitably marked by his previous life. Although many concepts have changed with so many years of practice, there are still many things that have not changed.

Only in this kind of similar world, through various similar yet different contrasts, can Shi Xuan's obsession be slowly set off and find things in his nature.

Of course, it must be based on the plot, not just some boring details and complaints.

Perhaps for me, this is another firm path.

Finally, thank you all for your continued support. As a new author and a new book, the subscriptions for this book are still good, at least it didn't fail, haha.

The above is a total of 400 words, and the main text is nearly 3,600 words.

…………

Not long after, Xiao Yang came back with a thin piece of jade paper. The jade paper was as thin as a cicada's wing, green and transparent, with sparse patterns and words on it: "Nine pieces of top-grade spirit stones, one hand for money and the other for goods."

Shi Xuan gave Xiao Yang the spirit stone and then took the jade paper. As soon as he got the jade paper, Shi Xuan found that his spiritual consciousness could extend from his body, cover it, and check the information inside.

"Shi Xuan, 38 years old, from Linyuan City, a graduate of the lower academy of Xuqing Taoist Academy, with the cultivation level of Qi-inducing Stage recognized by the Empire. Work status: unemployed. Spellcasting license: none,..."

The following also has detailed life experiences of Shi Xuan from childhood to adulthood, such as his enlightenment in the first academy of this city, and his continuous cultivation until he graduated from the Out-of-Body Stage, and then he passed the unified national examination of the Empire and entered Xuqing Taoist Academy that year. In short, this shows the life of Shi Xuan, who does not exist at all.

Holding this piece of paper, Shi Xuan was lost in thought. When he graduated from college, he also held a few thin pieces of paper, which also contained his life. However, it is really sad to think that there is now a death certificate among those papers.

Seeing Shi Xuan remained silent, Xiao Yang laughed and said, "Brother Shi, don't bother. Only masters of the Soul Stage can directly read information from the identity document. You haven't formed your consciousness yet, so you can only use this Tongxin Pei. Haha, this is an accessory to the identity document. There is a foot-sized space inside for valuables, and you can also use it to view messages that require consciousness to view."

Seeing Shi Xuan take the Tongxin Pei, Xiao Yang continued to explain: "The most important thing on the identity document is the imperial account number at the beginning, and the number is sealed in the Tongxin Pei through secret methods, corresponding to an account in the Imperial Bank. Remember, in the empire, spiritual stones cannot be used in normal transactions. Only 'yuan coins' can be used. It has no shape and is an invisible object stored in the Imperial Bank."

"Is Xuqing Daoyuan very famous?" Shi Xuan had come back to his senses and suddenly asked such a question.

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course it is famous. It is the best Taoist academy in the empire. There are countless Jindan masters in it. Different departments are also led by Yinshen masters. The strength is even higher than that of the Emperor's Guard. The reason why I give you this identity is that if you are from a third-rate Taoist academy, it is easy for others to suspect that your learning experience is fake. In Xuqing Taoist Academy, especially the lower academy, as long as you don't meet graduates of the same generation and department, you will basically not be exposed."

Shi Xuan put away his identity documents, put on the Tongxin pendant, and stood up to say goodbye.

"By the way, brother Shi, remember that you can only exchange the spirit stones on you for yuan coins at the Imperial Bank. Privately trading spirit stones is a felony." After Xiao Yang sent Shi Xuan to the door, he reminded Shi Xuan. After all, if Shi Xuan committed a felony, it might involve himself.

Shi Xuan smiled and nodded, then pretended to ask casually: "I am going to take the exam for a spellcasting license in a while. I wonder if you, Brother Xiao, can let me see it first and see what it is?"

Xiao Yang didn't care and took an orange circular emblem from his left hand. The light was flowing inside, and it seemed that there were many restrictions like fish swimming around.

Playing with the orange emblem, Shi Xuan chatted with Xiao Yang casually, while using the Tongxin Pei to penetrate the emblem with his spiritual consciousness, analyzing the restrictions and trying to crack them, so that he could forge one, so as not to be exposed when he took the exam for a spellcasting license.

Seeing that Shi Xuan had not returned his emblem for a long time, Xiao Yang guessed his thoughts and advised: "Brother Shi, don't waste your energy. These emblems are at least made by masters of the soul, and they are connected to the imperial formation. Without permission, even the Jindan Grandmaster can only create emblems that have only the form but no real effect."

Although Shi Xuan is not a master who studies arrays and prohibitions, and after having the Tai Chi diagram, he relies more on it to break the array, but Shi Xuan is also a genuine Yin God Venerable. After so many years of cultivation, he has a lot of experience in array prohibitions. In addition, Taoism, magic weapon prohibitions, etc. have something in common with array prohibitions. Now Shi Xuan has some ideas about the spellcasting license.

Those prohibitions are not difficult, and can even be said to be very simple, so Shi Xuan can have a clue in such a short time. The biggest problem is the final step of connecting his own breath and prohibitions to the imperial array. Without relevant permission, it would be a death wish.

"Brother Xiao, is it okay to take the exam for a spellcasting license with this identity document?" Shi Xuan handed the orange emblem back to Xiao Yang and asked with a smile.

Xiao Yang patted his chest and said, "As long as you don't dream of getting the highest two levels of spellcasting license, there will be no problem. Besides, when you reach the level of Jindan Grandmaster, you can find a noble family to join. At that time, all the past can be erased and you can become a person of real status."

Shi Xuan nodded with satisfaction and turned away. Since he couldn't find a way to secretly connect to the Empire's formation, he would do something secretly while the Empire's formation was officially connected.

…………

The branch of the Empire Bank in Linyuan City is a white building full of metallic texture. It is cold and solemn, and the jade floor can almost reflect people's faces clearly.

There are seven or eight counters here, which are covered by the formation prohibition. There is a beautiful girl sitting in each of them.

A tall and mighty guard saw Shi Xuan coming in, came up to him, and asked politely: "What service do you need?" Shi Xuan had changed his cloud and mist fairy clothes into ordinary clothes in this world. He was calm and steady, and his steps were neither fast nor slow, so anyone with eyes would not look down on him.

"I need to exchange some spirit stones, which counter do I go to?" Shi Xuan was trying to adapt to the speaking style of this world.

The guard led Shi Xuan to the left: "All three are fine. Go to the one with the least people and wait."

After waiting for a while, when the people in front of him had exchanged their spirit stones, Shi Xuan sat in front of the counter. The young lady with a beautiful face and a friendly smile stood up slightly and bowed: "No. 59 Song Haixi is here to serve you. I wonder how many spirit stones you want to exchange?"

Shi Xuan felt like he was back in his previous life. He calmed down and took out five high-quality spirit stones: "I will exchange five high-quality spirit stones."

The expression of the girl named Song Haixi became quite interesting. Although the empire has abundant spirit stone resources, high-quality spirit stones are still mainly circulated among the class of Jindan Grandmasters and Yinshen Venerables. Of course, the direct descendants of the aristocratic families may also have them, so she took the high-quality spirit stones while looking at Shi Xuan.

"Five high-quality spirit stones equal 5 million Yuan coins. After deducting the exchange fee of 100,000 Yuan coins, the total is 4.9 million Yuan coins. Please check, Mr. Shi." Song Haixi used the Yuan coins to hit Shi Xuan's Tongxin Pei through the restriction, and at the same time looked at the message reflected by the imperial account number.

Xuqing College Lower House, Qi Induction Stage cultivator, this man named Shi Xuan, could it be that he was favored by some Jindan Grandmaster? There is only one noble family in this city, the Xiao family, who inherited the position of Linyuan General.

Such a wealthy and promising young man is naturally a good mate for women. Song Haixi's smile is not only cordial, but also reserved and enthusiastic: "Mr. Shi, our bank also acts as an agent for the sale of caves and houses in this city, as well as various investment matters. I wonder if you are interested?"

Shi Xuan originally wanted to buy a cave, but thinking of Xu Zhenjun's instructions to experience the world, he smiled and said, "I am not interested in investment for the time being, but I just returned to Linyuan City and want to buy a high-rise house, so that I can breathe the high-altitude qi."

"Haha, Mr. Shi, you are really good at joking." Song Haixi was very happy to see that he could sell a house, and then took out a small and beautiful ornament inlaid with various spiritual stones from his neck, pressed it a few times, and started talking, which roughly meant that there was a distinguished guest who wanted to see the house, so come quickly.

After saying this, Song Haixi saw Shi Xuan staring at him in a daze, and said shyly as if he remembered something: "Mr. Shi, you just returned to this city, and you probably haven't had time to change your communicator yet. I have a friend who is doing business in this area, and the store is nearby. Do you want me to ask her to send some communicators for you to choose from?"

Shi Xuan nodded, and accompanied by the guards, he went to a quiet room next to him to wait, after all, there were still many people waiting behind the counter.

Not long after, a girl with her hair tied into a ponytail and wearing a light white short-sleeved long skirt ran in and went straight to the quiet room.

After seeing Shi Xuan, she took a few breaths, took out a row of communicators of various styles, and introduced them quickly: "Hello, Mr. Shi. This is the latest style of communicator from the imperial capital. Look at this one, it is inlaid with eight low-grade spirit stones, and can be used continuously for half a year. And now it is on sale, it only costs nine hundred and ninety-nine, and you can take it home, just like picking it up for free."

Looking at the constantly fluttering upper and lower lips, Shi Xuan felt as if in a dream, as if he had really returned to his previous life, as if he met a sneaky man on the roadside, who said, "Brother, do you want a mobile phone? Only three hundred yuan." It was like turning on the TV and watching a shopping advertisement, "Only nine hundred and ninety-nine, take the diamond-studded mobile phone home"...

The Tai Chi diagram moved slightly, and Shi Xuan woke up instantly. It seemed that this extremely familiar feeling from his previous life made his cultivation a little bit better. The illusion was no longer just appearing when he was visualizing, but even began to interfere with his Yin spirit in his daily life.

Perhaps this is why Xu Zhenjun chose this world?

After buying a communicator casually, Shi Xuan sent the woman away, and then waited for the person who bought and sold the house to arrive. Accompanied by him, he chose a house on the top floor of an 18-story building and spent 300,000 yuan.

When everything was done, it was late at night, looking at this luxurious and spacious house, Shi Xuan sighed slightly. In his previous life, he worked hard and finally paid the down payment to buy a house, but before he had time to live in it, he traveled to the Yuyu world. Now, the house is so easy to get. It's really time-changing, which makes people sigh.

Knowing that although the things have been familiar, it is not yesterday. Shi Xuan retracted his thoughts and crossed his legs in the room of Gecheng Jingshi to meditate and suppress his delusions. There are still important things to do tomorrow.
