Chapter 37
July 10, 2017
The summer in Qingyun City is really hot.
The blazing sunlight shines on the earth, but what is sown is not vitality, but hot and spicy poison. The pedestrians on the street are like skewers of raw meat being baked, revealing a kind of bleakness of life that is undesirable while walking.
Of course, for those top warriors with profound internal skills and have entered the state of invasion of cold and heat, or to go further and the true energy in their bodies is circulating like the wind, the torture of the scorching summer will be much lessened.
Unless she has been practicing in an overload state since early morning, and has been extracted half of her qi and blood by the domineering master to build a second wind gathering array, and at breakfast, she has to be distracted to do the mental arithmetic exercises left to her by the domineering master to exercise her spiritual consciousness.
When Wang Jiu watched Chen Qingming leave Chenyuan and go to the Sword Cultivation Club in Qingyun City to find someone to discuss, he felt that he was seeing a half-cooked lame fat duck...
But this is the price of practice.
Nearly a month has passed since Chen Qingming decided to leave his family, and things have developed smoothly and smoothly beyond expectations. After that home visit, Li Fengyun and Lu Xin never disturbed Chen Qingming again. Chen Qingming gradually adapted to an independent life - in fact, the pace of life in the past one or two years is no different. It is nothing more than that he cannot go to the outer door to practice the sword technique of the Li family and cut off only a handful of money.
The girl's life is still rich and colorful. Under the guidance of Wang Jiu, she embarked on a path of physical sanctification. Relying on the rapid progress of physical fitness, the real energy has entered a thousand miles a day. According to Wang Jiu's mount training plan, she can break through to the middle stage of the Fengqi realm by the end of July at the latest, and her actual combat ability is far superior to that of the cultivators in the same realm.
Of course, compared with the progress Wang Jiu has made, it is insignificant.
After a month of hard work, Wang Jiu completed two wind-milling platforms and grinded the blade of the pure white sword body for 5 levels. The blunt sword suddenly turned into a sharp blade, which was no less sharp than those of the Heavenly Swords and Dragon Slaying Swords in the martial arts world.
Of course, because we haven't had time to process more on the sword body, we are not as sharp as otherworldly magical weapons. However, with the fifth-level form of the sword world, Wang Jiu can now barely take the enemy's head from a thousand meters away, which is an absolute flying sword. If we combine the interference effect of the magic sword technique in actual combat and the combat consciousness comparable to the Demon King, the so-called top warrior and novice cultivator of the level of Chen Qingming, Wang Jiu can fight more than a dozen at a time.
However, for a magic sword that once fought and defeated the Invincible Demon Emperor, this improvement in combat ability does not bring any sense of accomplishment. What really makes Wang Jiu happy is...
"Well, in the end, just add this spoonful of sugar and bake it in the stove for an hour, and you can get the fashionable pastry from Qingzhou...baked sea bass apple pie."
In the kitchen, Wang Jiu closed the stove cover with satisfaction with the exercise formation, and then lay quietly beside him waiting for the sea bass apple pie to be released.
In the past month, in addition to rebuilding the sword world, he spent most of his time studying food. With the worship of the Li family compound, Wang Jiu could freely purchase various ingredients through the Duobao Pavilion shopping manual, and then put the cooking tips taught him by the Lost Words to practice one by one: looking up at the stars, Hajis, herring cakes...
To be honest, this process is really interesting, allowing the sword spirit to experience a novel and fun that he has never had before. There are only two regrets to say. One is that the current products in Xiangzhou mainland are quite different from those in the Jiuzhou period. Many ingredients cannot be found and substitutes are needed. The other is that every time Wang Jiu tries to let Chen Qingming try his new dish, the little girl will resist with a spirit of looking at death.
"Even if I starve to death, I will never eat your food if I jump from here!"
"... Although I can understand that you have inferiority complex when facing me and dare not rush to the top, such a solemn and intense reaction is still a bit unexpected. Let me confirm that you will not fall into the cessation pit, right?"
"I would rather fall into the cesspool than eat your food again! Have you really tasted it before you feed me?!"
"Of course, and every time I eat it, I am a person from the war era and know how to cherish food."
"You can finish all that kind of thing!? Then where do you get the qualifications to forbid me from eating carrots!"
“Note that I’m talking about ‘food’”
"Ahhh, you are so annoying, you're so angry!"
In short, after that quarrel, Chen Qingming's attitude became extremely firm, and even pointed his chopsticks at his throat to threaten him. Wang Jiu gave up on the idea of cultivating her as a foodie.
While waiting for the bass apples to be sent out, Wang Jiu suddenly remembered that he had just used up a niche spice and could not buy it in the shopping manual. Only a small store near the commercial street was occasionally sold, so he simply used his magic swordsmanship and went out to buy vegetables.
With one month of accumulation, the overall level of the sword world has reached a considerable level, which is enough to allow him to run to buy groceries under the scorching sun when he is away from his mount.
Walking all the way from Luliu Lane in the east of the city to the commercial street in Chengzhong District, Wang Jiu was very happy without any harassment. Since he got the letter of appointment from the guest court sent by Li Fengyun, he often appeared in Qingyun City with his sword spirit. However, not long after, he began to be repeatedly surrounded by ignorant girls, asking for autographs, asking for photos, asking for tigers to touch, which was really unpleasant. It was not that he had a sense of superiority to humans as a sword spirit, but that his so-called true nature is transformed from illusion swordsmanship, and there is no entity. If he was surrounded by ignorant girls, he would easily reveal flaws.
Fortunately, ordinary ignorant girls can't stand the hot summer and rarely appear in sunny days. Wang Jiu successfully arrived at a spice shop located in a remote corner next to the commercial street. This shop often sells some extremely unpopular seasonings. Although the goods are not complete, they are strange enough. Recently, they have become Wang Jiu's favorite. Unfortunately, the passenger flow has always been sparse and he is facing the risk of bankruptcy at any time...
However, this time, when Wang Jiu opened the store, he saw that there was already a customer in the store, a customer who looked like two people at first glance.
Judging from his appearance, he was about a young man, not tall, only about half a head taller than Chen Qingming, but at least two Chen Qingmings were above the width. He occupied most of the small shop space alone, and it was inconvenient to communicate.
When Wang Jiu entered the door, he subconsciously glanced at him, and then he could no longer take it back, and his face was filled with a look of surprise.
"Are you the newly hired guest elder of the Li family? His name is Wang Jiu?"
Wang Jiu was also surprised. His fans actually expanded from an ignorant girl to a fat man. But the next moment, Wang Jiu saw the familiar true energy fluctuations from him. This person's realm is about the Yunyongchu realm. Judging from his age, he can be considered young and promising. However, compared with the truly young and promising Yunyong realm cultivator, this person's true energy is slightly complex, and his spiritual cultivation seems too extensive. Instead, the silk free sword energy released intentionally or unintentionally shows a very skillful state-the Li family's Earth-Shendi Sword.
The fat young man had already got the answer from Wang Jiu's expression, walked up happily, and excitedly stretched out two white, fat but tight-fitting palms to shake hands with Wang Jiu.
"It's really Wang Jiu? I've been revered to be famous for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here! Fate is really fate!" The fat man said, his voice trembling, "I heard that you live with Li Qingming, is it true?"
“…”
Seeing Wang Jiu's expressionless face, the fat man quickly explained, "Please don't get me wrong. I have no other meaning... Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Li Xinyu, the son of Li Kongcheng, the third house of the Li family, and also the cousin of Li Qingming. Some time ago, I heard that my uncle gave a guest appointment letter to a foreigner, so I asked about you and learned that you actually lived in Shenyuan with Qingming Girl! I felt that you were probably a fellow student. But when I saw you today, I didn't expect you to be like this... More handsome and extraordinary than I thought!"
The more Wang Jiu heard, the more confused he became, so he waited for him to continue explaining without saying a word.
Li Xinyu was also patient and said, "That's right, I, I like the little girl too."
"Um?"
"It's the kind of girl with a small figure, tender skin, watery eyes, pure like white lotus roots, such as the one in Qingming girl!" Li Xinyu said, a hint of leisurely fascination appeared in his eyes, but it soon became dim. "But every time I talk to people, people say I am a pervert... In fact, in Jinyu City, people like me are precious species called "Lolic Control" and protected. The culture of Qingyun City is still too backward."
Li Xinyu suddenly raised his head: "But it's different now! With a fellow man like you, the image of Lolita Control will definitely improve greatly. When discussing this topic with others in the future, as long as you report your name, you will say that Wang Jiu, the handsome guest who will be sought after by ignorant girls on the street, is Lolita Control. I believe that those ignorant people will also respect me."
“…”
After Li Xinyu finished speaking, he nodded vigorously, and then came over to hold Wang Jiu's hand: "Anyway, we will be comrades who will work together on the road to loli control in the future!"
Wang Jiu cleverly took a step back and avoided Li Xinyu's hand. Although he didn't understand what he had just said, his intuition as a sword spirit told him that it would be better not to get involved with such people... Zhao Yueming told him a long time ago that there are three types of people in this world, and she hates the most, namely, Fat House, Fat House and Fat House.
This Li Xinyu in front of him should be an indisputable fat man...
Just as Wang Jiu was considering how to buy the spices he needed while not dealing with the fat man, the store door was pushed open with force, and followed by a very familiar girlish anger.
