The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai

With this connection, Liang Shanbo could easily find out what that thing was.

The more excited the butterfly jade pendant became, the closer it meant he was; he was certain that the object was right in front of them.

Soon, based on the intensity of the butterfly jade pendant's excitement, Liang Shanbo arrived at a mineral sales shop run by an old man.

This is where the butterfly jade pendant is most excited.

Could it be that this uncle's ore attracted the butterfly jade pendant? Liang Shanbo wondered, and walked up to him.

"Hey, young man, what do you need to buy? The ores I sell here are all top-quality ores for refining weapons. I guarantee you won't lose money if you buy them." The uncle shopkeeper hurriedly and enthusiastically greeted the customer as soon as he saw him arrive.

"Hmm, they're all quite nice." Liang Shanbo didn't say whether he wanted to buy or not, but walked up and pretended to want to buy. He touched each one, but found that none of the minerals on the stall seemed to resonate with the butterfly jade pendant. He couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is this all you have?"

"Yes, what's wrong? None of these meet your standards, young man?"

The middle-aged shop owner seemed a little embarrassed. He had been there for most of the day but hadn't sold a single piece of ore. He had initially tried to persuade two young people to buy something, but they touched everything and didn't like any of it.

"It shouldn't be."

Regardless of whether the uncle or the boss was embarrassed, Liang Shanbo frowned slightly, quite puzzled.

This shop was indeed where the butterfly jade pendant's excitement was strongest; once he left, it waned. Logically, the item should be in this shop, but he touched everything on the stall, and the owner said that was all he had.

Where exactly is that thing?

Or perhaps he overlooked something?

After thinking carefully for a while, Liang Shanbo asked again, "Boss, are there really no other ores?"

"There really aren't any more."

"OK then……"

"you're lying!"

"..."

"..."

Liang Shanbo and the shopkeeper exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why Gu Yueyao had suddenly said such a thing. The shopkeeper, even more displeased, said sternly, "Young lady, you're saying I lied to you? What did I lie to you about?"

"The Earl asked you if you had any other ores, and you said no."

"Yes, there really aren't any left."

"But I clearly saw that there was a piece of furniture under the corner of your table."

"..."

"..."

Liang Shanbo couldn't help but look in the direction Gu Yueyao pointed, and found that, damn it, it really was true.

He had a feeling, like that stone stool under the table.

"Oh, what was I talking about? So that's what you meant. I don't know what kind of ore that stone is. No matter how I hit it, it won't break, and no matter how I heat it, it won't get hot. It's a useless stone that can't be used to refine weapons. Since I saw that it wouldn't break no matter how I hit it, I thought it might still be of some use, so I couldn't bear to throw it away. I never expected that I would be misunderstood by you today because of it. I deserve to die. If you take a fancy to that useless stone, I'm happy to give it to you."

As he spoke, the uncle boss generously took out the stone stool that was used to prop up the corner of the table from under the corner of the table and gave it to Gu Yueyao in a very generous manner.

Gu Yueyao was also a little dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that this uncle would be so generous as to give it away for free after she had only said a few words. This made her feel a little embarrassed, but this was probably what the Earl was looking for, and now that she had it, she wouldn't let it go.

“Then I’ll thank you in advance, boss. However, I never like to owe strangers favors.” As she spoke, Gu Yueyao turned to look at Liang Shanbo, winked mischievously, and said, “Lord, please pay me.”

"..."

Liang Shanbo was speechless. "Grandma, you don't like owing favors to others, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? So why am I being asked to pay?"

However, speechless as he was, Liang Shanbo still did as she asked, since what he was looking for should be in Gu Yueyao's hands.

With that girl's cleverness, she must have guessed a bit of it.

"How many?"

Liang Shanbo asked.

"Well, it's not worth much money. Just give a spirit stone or two to get things started."

The shopkeeper didn't really want any, but he'd really been out of touch with reality today; the market wasn't even open yet. He figured getting one or two low-grade spirit stones wouldn't hurt, it'd make him feel better.

"Oh."

Without much thought, Liang Shanbo took out two mid-grade Yang Spirit Stones from the World of Light and tossed them to the old man, then pulled Gu Yueyao and turned to leave.

"This, this, this"

The middle-aged shop owner was stunned to find that his casually placed one or two stones had yielded two mid-grade Yang Spirit Stones.

He was referring to one or two low-grade general-purpose spirit stones, but the other party gave him mid-grade Yang spirit stones that could be exchanged for 20,000 low-grade general-purpose spirit stones. For a moment, the uncle boss almost jumped up with joy.

Then he regretted it even more, thinking that if he had known that the kid was so generous, he would have asked him for a few more coins.

"You, you, you spendthrift! You're driving me crazy! I asked you for money, not for mid-grade Yang spirit stones! You could have just given him a few low-grade general-purpose spirit stones, why did you have to give him mid-grade Yang spirit stones?!"

Gu Yueyao was furious. She had also seen the two mid-grade Yang spirit stones that Liang Shanbo had thrown to the old man, which were equivalent to 20,000 low-grade universal spirit stones. How could a piece of junk stone be worth that much money?

Liang Shanbo shrugged, looking utterly helpless. But his helpless expression was so infuriating that he said, "I really want to give you less, but all I have are mid-grade Yang Spirit Stones, nothing else."

"Then why didn't you tell me back then?" Gu Yueyao was so angry that she gritted her teeth. This guy was clearly showing off his wealth to her.

"Since you've already referred to yourself as 'Young Master,' how could I possibly embarrass you?"

"you……"

"Alright, stop with the 'you' and 'me' talk. It's just two mid-grade Yang Spirit Stones. What's the big deal? I, your lord, have plenty of business with this. Look at you being so stingy... Besides, this stone pier is worth far more than just two mid-grade Yang Spirit Stones. Saying it's more expensive than Fire Flame Grass is an insult to its preciousness."

"Is it really that expensive?"

Gu Yueyao couldn't help but wonder, could that broken stone block really be some kind of treasure?

Liang Shanbo said, "Those who know it will know how expensive it is, while those who don't will just consider it a worthless stone."

"What is it?"

"I don't know either," Liang Shanbo replied readily.

"..."

Seeing that Gu Yueyao was quite taken aback by his own words, Liang Shanbo grinned and added, "All I know is that it's based on me and is very important."

"Okay, you've got me."

After obtaining the stone pier, Liang Shanbo sent it into the world of light.

As soon as the stone pier entered the world of light, the world trembled. The stone pier then circled the butterfly jade pendant several times, creating a strong resonance with it, before transforming into a beam of light and disappearing into the world of light.

Liang Shanbo knew that Shidun had not left the world of light; he was simply hiding somewhere within it.

He is the ruler of the world of light, and nothing that happens within it can escape his watchful eye.

After Shi Dun entered the world of light, Liang Shanbo clearly sensed some subtle changes occurring within it. Although he didn't understand these changes, he had a feeling that the world of light seemed safer than before.
