Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

"How can it be so easy to find?" Zhuang Jingfu disagreed, "Master knows your intention, but you only owe me my skills, which is enough to pay it off."

Sheng Hongzhen and the others simply didn't know what their master was thinking. Such an excellent disciple, not only did he try every means to keep him, but he kept pushing him away.

But just as they were about to persuade him, he was interrupted by him.

"With Yan'er's ability, he will definitely achieve great things in the future. How can he be hindered by these favors?" Zhuang Jingfu said decisively, "Besides, when he has a promising future, if he still remembers what I said, it will be enough to take care of the disciples in the sect."

He said so much, what else can the two say?

If they persuaded him at this time, it would inevitably be suspected of repaying a favor.

They had no choice but to smile reluctantly and agreed, "Master, you are right."

Originally, they thought that the matter had been settled, but Yang Yan did not agree to it. Instead, he said firmly, "Master, don't say anything more. In my heart, you are no different from my father. If you want me to abandon my relatives for my future, what kind of person would I be?"

He was speaking from the original owner's heart. Wenren Yang Yan was abandoned in the monster forest. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be rescued by the master, he would have been buried in the monster's mouth.

Over the years, the master raised him up, taught him to read and be a human being, and taught him to practice. The two are not father and son, but they are better than father and son.

So when he learned that the sect was destroyed and the master died, he hated Zhang Zimo so much that he was willing to pay any price to change the situation and save the master so that the male protagonist would not die well.

Thankfully, he was born in the world of cultivation, and his soul strength is much higher than that of ordinary people, so he only needs to pay half of his soul power.

Zhuang Jingfu's heart trembled when he heard this. Didn't he treat his disciple as his own son? That's why he didn't want to delay his future, but why didn't he understand his intentions?

Yang Yan saw that he wanted to persuade him again, so he smiled lightly and said, "Master, give me three years. If I can't find a place for the sect to live by then, I will make other plans."

How could Zhuang Jingfu not hear the trap in his words? He said unhappily, "You are willing to leave and find another way out after three years?"

"Then we can be like traveling merchants, wandering around and practicing, and the spiritual energy is not fixed on one mountain." Yang Yan smiled and said, "Wait until our cultivation level is improved, then find another place to occupy, right?"

"What Junior Brother Wenren said makes sense!" Sheng Hongzhen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he was afraid that his senior brother would still not agree, so he hurriedly said, "Then the matter is settled like this, Junior Brother will find a place, and during this period we will make preparations in the sect, both sides are prepared."

Song Qinxin also thought that this method was feasible. There are many independent cultivators in the world of cultivation, and the methods they use are similar to what he said. This is just to change it from a single person to a group of people wandering.

Although it is a bit hard, it is still a good idea.

So she analyzed the pros and cons, and persuaded the head of the sect in words and deeds. Zhuang Jingfu was actually reluctant to part with his disciple, and was finally convinced by them. He sighed and agreed.

Since the matter had been settled, Yang Yan later improved the exercises for the two elders one after another, and when their cultivation had improved, he left Donghe Gate alone.

Zhuang Jingfu and others did not have much hope for his trip, because they all knew how rare it was to find a place with abundant spiritual energy and that could be occupied.

So they had already started preparing for the second plan before he left, but they did not know that Yang Yan had already had a goal in mind.

The plot of this world revolves around the male protagonist Zhang Zimo. He is like God's own son, and he has gained countless magic weapons, spiritual plants, beauties, and blessed places along the way.

Because it is a cool novel, most of the plots are about what good things he has gained, but the process of his gaining is often glossed over and ignored.

Like he happened to fall into a cave, to a blessed place, was chased by the admirers of the beautiful woman, fell off a cliff, and happened to find a ruined mansion, all without explaining the specific place.

But there is one place that is different. The book uses a lot of words to describe this place, and the location and even the method of entering are all clearly stated.

This is the place where Zhang Zimo founded his sect after he was promoted to the Mahayana stage in the later period. Because the whole mountain is shrouded in a profound formation set up by a powerful person in ancient times, it has not been discovered for hundreds of thousands of years.

It was not until the male protagonist happened to pass by nearby and saw through the trick at a glance, and solved it according to the formation map he accidentally obtained earlier, that it reappeared in front of the world.

However, although he knew the specific location of that place, Yang Yan also had difficulties.

First, the formation map had long fallen into the hands of Zhang Zimo, and he has now disappeared with the map.

Second, after the formation was solved, the place called Yunjiang Mountain could no longer be hidden, and he would not be able to protect it with his current cultivation.

So Yang Yan originally did not plan to move this place, and was ready to try to follow the male protagonist's footsteps to see if he could go to another place, or see if he had the luck to find another habitat.

However, when he was browsing in the library of the sect, he unexpectedly found that he was extremely talented in formations. He only needed to take a look at the formation books that his master said he could not understand at all.

He could even draw inferences from other cases and make and improve formations based on his own understanding. In the end, he successfully laid a formation for gathering spiritual energy and protection for the entire sect.

Although the formations he saw were relatively elementary, after his improvement, they were more than ten times better than what was said in the book.

Yang Yan's confidence was greatly increased. If he could learn more about formations, he might be able to unlock the seal of Yunjiang Mountain without being exposed.

After all, Zhang Zimo only had a superficial understanding of formations. He could only unlock them according to the formation diagram and could not be flexible, so he made such a big fuss.

With this idea in mind, Yang Yan flew on his sword for a full month before arriving at the nearest cultivation city. From this, we can see how remote the location of Donghemen is.

After all, he had the experience of living in two lives. He was not a rash boy who had just started out. After arriving at the place, he did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he secretly inquired about some of the city's rules and taboos before paying a low-grade spirit stone to enter the city.

Yang Yan thought he was well prepared, but unexpectedly, after inquiring about the prices in the city, he was a little frustrated. A most ordinary array book was actually priced at two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

When he left, his master gave him most of the sect's savings, which was only a mere three hundred low-grade spirit stones. Not to mention the sky-high high-level array books, even if the price was relatively affordable, he couldn't afford the medium-level ones that only required two medium-grade spirit stones.

And in the city, you really have to spend money everywhere. The cheapest room in the inn also costs twenty low-grade spirit stones a night. As for sleeping on the street, don't even think about it, because the guards will come to drive people away at night.

In other words, if he buys an ordinary book, he can only stay in the city for ten nights without food or drink. Yang Yan, who has never lacked money in his two lives, is worried about money for the first time.

In the end, he put the book back under the shop assistant's veiled contempt, walked out of the door in frustration, and decided to try to make some money first.

Forget about picking up bargains and selling like the male protagonist. One is that he thinks he has no unspeakable relationship with the way of heaven, and the other is that he is only a small late Jindan now. If he is too conspicuous, he might be killed.

After wandering around the street, Yang Yan finally decided to go with others to collect spiritual plants and hunt monsters to obtain inner elixir and skin, bones, blood and flesh to sell for money.

In this way, the fire wolf he killed at the beginning can actually be exchanged for dozens of spiritual stones. A quarter of the book was not brought with him when he came out. It was really a pity.

Fortunately, Yang Yan's vision of judging people was still there, and the character of the people he was with was still reliable. He didn't get stabbed in the back and all the hard-earned things were robbed.

After being busy for half a month, he silently calculated what he got and found that he could actually exchange for eight medium-grade spirit stones. He immediately understood why the prices in the city were so high.

It turned out that it was not because the things in the city were expensive, but because he was too poor!

He excitedly exchanged all the things for spirit stones, and returned to the previous shop to buy a low-level formation book. After flipping through it casually, he found that the things in it were too simple, similar to what he had seen in the sect before. He decisively bought four medium-level books again, and felt heartbroken for the inspiration he had just wasted.

"If the real person doesn't need that book, the store can recycle it at 50% of the price." Seeing his regret, the young man in the Qi training period said with a smile.

A profiteer!

Although he had been a businessman himself, Yang Yan still criticized him fiercely in his heart, and then silently handed the book back in exchange for 100 low-grade spirit stones.

He lost 100 in vain in this round trip. His heart was so painful, and it was enough for five nights of accommodation!

The poor really can't afford it!

Seeing that he was so distressed that his mouth was twitching, the waiter smiled and said, "If the real person has some experience in formation, our shop will buy the formation plate at a high price!"

Yang Yan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "What price?"

Hunting monsters and collecting spiritual plants are too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and what he lacks most now is time. If he can make money by making formations, he can practice his skills and save money to buy more advanced formation books. It is perfect for him.

"It depends on the quality of the real person's production." The waiter quoted the price according to the grade of the formation plate.
