Chapter 520: Chapter 519: High-End Phone

By the time Jiang Zuo found Jian Shisan, Jian Shisan was already prepared to take him back.

Jiang Zuo boarded Jian Shisan’s Flying Sword, then waved goodbye to Su Qi.

Su Qi looked very reluctant to see him go, but she couldn’t return with him.

As a Candidacy Saintess, she had to shoulder the responsibilities of a Candidacy Saintess.

Jian Shisan’s sword began to ascend. Waving his hand, Jiang Zuo suddenly said, "In the future, I will quell all turmoil, making the position of Candidacy Saintess obsolete.

Then we’ll never have to be apart again."

Su Qi waved back at Jiang Zuo, acting as if she hadn’t heard him.

Jian Shisan said, "You’d better shout. Otherwise, the wind in the Holy Land is too strong for Jiu Xi to hear."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Then, Jian Shisan accelerated.

Jiang Zuo quickly vanished from Su Qi’s sight.

Watching Jiang Zuo leave, Su Qi smiled faintly. ’No need. Your wife is the capable one. When the time comes, I definitely won’t leave your side again.’

Su Qi didn’t know what love was like for other people, but she knew that for her, love was her husband.

Where Jiang Zuo was, she, Su Qi, would be.

Even if Jiang Zuo was a magical anomaly, she didn’t want him to take any risks.

Finally, Su Qi smiled, turned, and left. She just needed to resolve the matters here as quickly as possible so she could go back—back to her husband’s side.

「In the sky」

Jian Shisan spoke up, "Why didn’t Jiu Xi let you stay in the Holy Land?"

Jiang Zuo didn’t answer directly. ’I can’t just say it’s to stop me from reading the notebook, can I?’

"She probably wants me to go back and earn money. After all, we’re just ordinary people who need to live ordinary lives."

Jian Shisan: "..."

A moment later, Jian Shisan said, "If you have time, take a trip to the Spiritual Control Sect."

Jiang Zuo was surprised. "Why?"

"They seem to have run into some trouble," said Jian Shisan.

"No time." And Jiang Zuo really didn’t have any.

He still had to find a place to do some forging.

Now that he had the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, he needed to forge it into an accessory that Su Qi could wear.

Jian Shisan didn’t say anything to this. He felt that Jiang Zuo would have to go sooner or later.

Because once Jiu Xi came out of her seclusion, she would definitely go.

If the Spiritual Control Sect was in trouble, the Holy Land would help.

It wasn’t that their relationship was particularly good.

It was because of an ancestral edict.

The Holy Land had several ancestral edicts. One of them stated that they must intervene if the Spiritual Control Sect ever faced annihilation.

Jian Shisan had also seen another one: they must treat the Xuanwu Race with kindness.

Of the Four Holy Beasts, the Holy Land’s edicts never mentioned the other three races; only the Xuanwu Race was included.

As for why these edicts existed, not even Jian Shisan—let alone the other administrators of the Holy Land—knew.

These rules had been established since the very founding of the Holy Land.

Although they had never been enforced, everyone who knew of the edicts would carry them out when necessary.

For example, during the last incident with the Sword Cultivation Lineage, if it had been the Spiritual Control Sect instead, Jian Shisan would have intervened directly without a second thought, not even bothering to argue with them about anything.

And the people of the Holy Land would also have extended their aid at the earliest opportunity.

Ordinary disciples wouldn’t know about these ancestral edicts; not even the Spiritual Control Sect or the Holy Beast Black Tortoise itself would know.

Everything was one-sided.

Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Zuo to know this either.

Jian Shisan’s speed was extraordinary.

He soon dropped Jiang Zuo off.

Jian Shisan didn’t take Jiang Zuo all the way home.

Because Jiang Zuo planned to buy a new phone.

His phone was wrecked, and he didn’t have one to use now.

Although he never used it when he was with Su Qi, now that they were apart, it would be bad if Su Qi tried to call and couldn’t reach him.

After bidding farewell to Jian Shisan, Jiang Zuo decided to buy a phone at a nearby store.

But just as he arrived at a phone store, he suddenly remembered that the Tianhe Group seemed to sell them too.

Jiang Zuo’s first instinct was to take out his phone and ask Yang Mu. (Unfortunately, he had no phone.)

The man was a tech developer, so he should know.

’I’m not looking for a phone with a great signal; it just needs to be fireproof and waterproof.’

’Actually, with Su Qi’s personality, who knew when she might drag him into the ocean again? It wouldn’t always be a coincidence that his phone wasn’t on him.’

Without any hesitation, Jiang Zuo headed directly for the Tianhe Group.

Jiang Zuo went to Division Two and asked the front desk directly. He learned that there was a showroom just below the Marketing Division Two, which sold all kinds of Magical Treasures and electronic devices.

’Su Qi’s Perception Scanner was probably bought here,’ he thought.

When Jiang Zuo went down, the place was quite crowded. He was surprised to find ordinary people there as well.

’It’s open to everyone?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t quite understand, but he supposed that when it came to buying a decent phone, there was no need to exclusively target Cultivators. Ordinary people could buy them too.

’Speaking of which, did I ever hear about this place back when I had a regular job?’

’Probably not.’

Soon, Jiang Zuo arrived at the mobile phone section.

"What model are you looking for, sir?" a young saleswoman at the counter asked with a smile.

Jiang Zuo glanced at the woman and saw that she was just a Cultivator with a faint aura.

To be precise, she was a Cultivator still striving to reach Tier One.

People like her were merely younger and more energetic than ordinary people.

The other differences weren’t significant.

If he had to point one out, it was that cultivation allowed women to completely ditch cosmetics.

Cultivators who used makeup were just messing around. As for Witch Dan Xue, she was just nuts.

"Waterproof, shockproof, fireproof—basically, anything that isn’t easy to break," Jiang Zuo said.

The young saleswoman chuckled. "Basically all of our models have those features."

"Then just give me a random one," Jiang Zuo said, his expression blank.

The young woman smiled and asked, "Sir, are you an employee of the Tianhe Group? If so, please show your work ID, and we can offer you the internal employee price."

Without hesitation, Jiang Zuo took out his work ID.

The young woman took the ID and said, "All the phones on the counter meet your requirements, sir. You can choose any one you like.

They are all modified versions of commercially available smartphones, so you don’t need to worry about their basic functions.

Moreover, their signal and network speed far exceed those of regular phones, and the system optimization is pushed to the limit to ensure you won’t lose connection or experience lag at a critical moment."

’Cultivators are doing scientific research now?’

’Or are they just modding phones?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t really care about that. He casually picked a black phone.

For him, as long as the phone was durable, it was good enough.

"That will be 2,998, sir. Card or cash?"

Jiang Zuo was surprised. ’That cheap?’

But he didn’t dwell on it. Just as he was about to pay, he froze. It seemed he didn’t have any cash.

And since his new phone wasn’t set up yet, he had no way to make a mobile payment.

Jiang Zuo then asked, "Do you accept Spirit Stones?"

"Yes, we do. That will be one First-Grade Spirit Stone," the young woman said with a smile.

She seemed very happy that Jiang Zuo was paying with a Spirit Stone.

It made sense when he thought about it. All she had to do was buy the Spirit Stone for 2,998 yuan herself.

That was basically equivalent to her earning a Spirit Stone.

And a Spirit Stone was worth much more than that amount of money.

Of course, if Jiang Zuo offered to sell it to her at a high price, she would probably agree to that too.

But Jiang Zuo had no such intention.

After Jiang Zuo handed over the Spirit Stone, the young woman took out a card and gave it to him. "This is a lottery card," she said. "It’s for a sweepstakes that’s apparently been running since the beginning of the year.

No one’s ever won. You can just have it for fun, sir."
