I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 226 Pawnshop with Space



```

There Is a Tavern.

It was open house day.

Having spent twenty yuan on a ticket, Zhou Yi wandered inside, finding the decor unchanged from the past.

Schoolchildren were there on a break, visiting under their teacher's guidance.

"This table is an old-fashioned counter. Back in the day, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang were pursued by secret agents and came to the tavern late at night seeking refuge. Mr. Sun took them in and provided shelter."

Wearing a pale blue long gown and holding a megaphone, the teacher said, "There are many accounts of Mr. Sun in the history books, including his love for reading. Does anyone know this story?"

"I know."

"Teacher, let me answer."

"Me me me!"

The students eagerly raised their hands, and the teacher picked a little girl to answer.

The little girl crisply said, "Mr. Sun's family had an ancient tome passed down for a thousand years. A wealthy merchant surnamed Chen in the city wanted to buy it for a high price. Mr. Sun didn't want gold or silver, but exchanged it for more books!"

"Correct!" Explore more stories with empire

The teacher praised, "Children should learn from Mr. Sun to love reading and read more!"

Zhou Yi followed behind the children, blushing at what he heard; he knew he would have to change the covers of the storybooks he read in the future and silently tucked half a jade pendant away.

Nothing more than a tavern, if it could have some educational significance for future generations, then let it be passed down!

Zhou Yi, with his hands in his sleeves, followed the children.

After visiting the site of the Red Alliance's first meeting and receiving a dose of ideological education, it was a pity that the real people had all gone, with only the waiter, the cook, and the blind man left hanging on the walls.

"I should go and offer them some paper money when I have the time. Even though in my view the revolution is not yet complete, they still merit the acclaim of having changed the world."

Zhou Yi held great respect for these people, which was why he had opened up the Kunlun Wonderland in the first place.

However, the Red Alliance's adversaries were not merely mortals; the Royal Family, emerging new families, and the old wealthy all had extraordinary martial power to support them. It was already a remarkable achievement to have reached this point.

The fight that involved forming alliances and conniving was vaguely represented online, mostly secret affairs not to be declassified in the short term.

The upshot was that the Royal Family abdicated power, leaving only a noble title, while representatives of the Red Alliance and the new noble families occupied half the cabinet seats each.

After spending recent days online gathering information, Zhou Yi learned that Da Zhou was the absolute overlord of the Nine Continents, far more powerful than the faith alliance led by the Divine Kingdom. The national power's vitality could be felt through the people's discussions and spirit!

"No two political systems in the world are entirely the same. The current state of affairs can already be considered excellent."

Zhou Yi left the tavern and looked up at the sky; the sun he had seen nineteen hundred years ago was still dazzling.

"A new era, indeed!"

...

Xianjing is an ancient capital of a thousand years and naturally has its antique street.

The largest and most famous is at the north end of Chongren District, known as Top Scholar Street, which takes its name from the once-existing book printing shop Top Scholar Hall.

Under the impact of the new era, Top Scholar Hall had long gone out of business, allowing someone to purchase and convert it into a large tavern.

During that era of huge change, it wasn't just the old merchants who went out of business; the decaying nobility of Yongchang Place and Qinghua Fang, located to the north of Chongren District, were even more affected, and had to sell their ancestral relics for money.

Selling off family heirlooms and engaging in prodigal behavior is immensely embarrassing, so they unanimously went to marketplaces outside the district for their clandestine dealings.

They set up stalls before dawn, quickly sold their items, and left with their faces covered.

Should they indeed encounter acquaintances, they would pretend not to recognise them and even concoct stories claiming they had stolen these treasured items from their masters.

Because Chongren District frequently had top-quality antiques appear, over time more and more people flocked there, establishing the fame of Top Scholar Street.

On this day.

The cold wind was piercing.

At the east end of Top Scholar Street, a shop hung up its new sign: There Is a Pawnshop.

With Top Scholar Street's reputation drawing massive foot traffic, it wasn't easy to obtain this shop, whose previous owner was reported for making and selling fakes. After the evidence was conclusive, the shop was confiscated for a legal auction.

In less than half a year, Zhou Yi became the owner of the shop.

Everything was done legally, with a trail to follow!

The pawnshop's ground floor was for business, while the upper floor served for accommodation.

A Formation and Prohibition had been arranged at the entrance, making ordinary tourists subconsciously overlook the shop. In contrast, visitors with substantial fortunes were influenced by the formation, feeling an inexplicable sense of attention and curiosity.

For this reason.

The business had remained quiet for a long while, visited only by neighbors bearing flower baskets.

Zhou Yi greeted them with smiles all around. With a millenium's worth of wisdom and discourse, he impressed his peers with just a few words, although what they truly thought inside remained unknown.

After all, everyone secretly wishes for the demise of their competitors!

Behind the shop counter.

Zhou Yi, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, let his Mana touch the cell phone, which clattered into a heap of components, and his Divine Sense carefully studied each function.

"How can I bypass the server and chat unnoticed?"

He contemplated this problem in recent days. Each time he made an online comment, he felt a premonition of being watched.

It might not be intentional, but it was enough to prompt caution.

Zhou Yi attempted to use Formation and Prohibition to hide all traces, making himself an undetectable presence online.

"At the moment, there are two simple methods. Either use a prohibition to turn the cell phone into a Magic Artifact, making it difficult for others to locate me, or visit several companies offline and have a friendly chat with their bosses."

Just then.

A customer walked into the shop.

Young, with a single-strap bag, he had the air of a student.

"A pawnshop?"

Cui Yu looked puzzled, not knowing why he had wandered in. Since he was there, he decided to inquire, "Boss, do you deal in antiques here?"

"Of course, we do."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhou Yi pointed to a sign next to him and said, "We buy everything here, and the more mysterious and harder to appraise the antique is, the higher the price!"

Unable to grasp his meaning, Cui Yu took a box out of his shoulder bag and opened it to reveal a short sword inside.
