Ding Kui looked at the palm-sized dark blue crystal in his hand and found that his magic power was like a condensed solid, and it felt cold when he held it in his hand.
"That's not right. There is still a lot of magic power in the sea of consciousness. You can try infusing it with level 2 magic crystals."
He put the dark blue crystal back on his head and used his mental power to guide the magic power back into the sea of consciousness. This process took about the same time as infusion, more than ten minutes.
Putting down the first-level magic crystal, Ding Kui picked up a second-level magic crystal. It was larger in shape, thicker, and had more refractive surfaces inside.
The same thing was placed on the top of the head, and the same operation was done again.
This time it took longer, about twenty minutes, before all the magic power in Ding Kui's sea of consciousness was poured into the second-level crystal.
The second-level magic crystal is obviously different from the first-level magic crystal just now. The color of one corner gradually changes from dark blue to light blue and white, which is obviously not filled.
Ding Kui estimated in his mind that about one-tenth of the space was not filled, which meant that his magic power was close to that of a wand-wielding magician.
"If I focus on practicing magic, by the end of this year or early next year, my magic power should be able to reach the level of a wand-wielding magician. Unfortunately, there are too many magicians in the county, which is not suitable for practicing the magic code, and there will be a state competition next year.
Let’s improve our fighting spirit first. If we don’t advance to Blade Knight, there is basically no hope of entering the national competition.” Ding Kui struggled for a while.
Ding Kui walked out of the room, opened the courtyard door, and saw Zeng Jian walking around in front of the door, so he asked: "Brother Jian, what are you doing here?"
"Little nail, we just finished the county competition, can't you take a few days' rest? You drove us all out of the yard as soon as you started practicing. I can't even go back to my room to sleep." When he looked up and saw Ding Kui, Zeng Jian said
Start complaining.
"Well, why are you sleeping in broad daylight? Let's go, I'll take you to have some fun." Ding Kui couldn't explain to Zeng Jian, so he had to change the subject.
As soon as he heard about having fun, Zeng Jian's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Okay, would you like to take me to the 'Wenxiang Pavilion'?"
"You already know this. Who's so talkative? There's nothing interesting in Wenxiang Pavilion. Let's go somewhere else."
"You're not being honest. You went there secretly, and you took me with you and told me it wasn't fun. It's not very interesting."
"Hey, it's true. If you don't believe it, just ask President Zeng."
"You can't be like this as a human being, and you want to threaten me with grandpa.
It’s okay if you don’t go, you must treat me to a nice meal today.”
"No problem, I can treat you to delicious food every day. You can choose any restaurant in the county."
After negotiating the terms, the two brothers hooked up and went out.
"Sister Ji Yin, do you plan to keep running this teahouse?" Ding Cai came to the "Ke Family Teahouse" again.
"It's not easy to make a living in the county town. Fortunately, this shop was left by my husband's family. I don't have to pay rent for my own property. With the help of my neighbors, I can eat well and wear warm clothes. It's not like your wealthy family. Brother Cai
, your monthly payment can equal my income for several years, right?" Bai Jiyin's voice was thin and soft, not coquettish.
When it comes to the salary, Ding Cai couldn't help but feel proud. Just yesterday, Ding Kui announced that "the salary for all guards will be increased to 150 gold coins per month." This amount is much higher than that in the regular army.
This is why many knights would rather work for nobles than join the army.
"Haha, that's different. I am the most important person under the young master, and of course I have the highest amount of money. Most people don't have that much." Ding Cai would brag about it whenever he had the chance, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't show off.
Ding Cai wanted to continue bragging, but out of the corner of his eye he saw an extremely familiar figure on the street outside the teahouse.
After being interrogated by Ding Kui that day, when Ding Cai came to the "Ke Family Teahouse", he would always pay attention to whether there was anyone familiar passing by the door.
"Oh, it's my young master!" Ding Cai quickly stood up, rushed out of the teahouse, and pounced on Ding Kui, who was taking Zeng Qing past the teahouse door.
Ding Kui took Zeng Jian on this road specifically to see if his most promiscuous man was picking up a pretty widow.
"Master, are you here to see the villain?" Ding Cai rushed to Ding Kui, stopped suddenly, and stopped one step away from Ding Kui, nodding and bowing.
"What's so good about your virtue? It affects my appetite for lunch." Ding Kui laughed and scolded.
"Why don't the young master have a guard by his side when he goes out? They are lazy when I take a rest. When I get back, I will have a good talk with the housekeeper about how they put the young master's safety." Ding Cai seized the opportunity to present the treasure.
"I told them not to follow. The county is the territory of Master Gongliang. Who dares to harm me? Even some clowns are no match for me. I don't need anyone to follow me when I go shopping with my classmates." Ding Kui's answer made Ding Cai.
disappointment.
Gong Lianggu's magic tower is in the city, and there is a magic circle to monitor the situation in the county. If anyone with level five combat power or above wants to cause trouble, they will be discovered soon.
If you dare to cause trouble on the territory of a seventh-level magician, there are probably only magicians above the seventh level.
Lord Protector Ding Qi is only a fifth-level knight. With Ding Kui's current status, even fifth- and sixth-level warriors disdain him.
Ding Kui is confident that he can escape from a sneak attack by warriors below level 4, so he doesn't take his bodyguard with him when he goes out now.
"Public woman Bai Jiyin pays homage to the crown prince." Bai Jiyin followed Ding Cai out of the teahouse. Knowing that the young man in front of her was Ding Kui, she knelt down to pay her respects.
Seeing this naturally charming young woman about to kneel down, Ding Kui supported him with one hand and said, "Without courtesy, are you the owner of this teahouse?"
Just when she was about to kneel down on the ground, Bai Jiyin was pulled by Ding Cai. She stood up and replied: "You are just a common woman. It is really a blessing for a common woman to be consulted by the prince. Can you please invite the prince to come to us?"
Teahouse, have a cup of hot tea."
"Well, I won't bother you today. We have other things to do. Do whatever you are supposed to do and don't worry about us. Ding Cai, don't follow us. We need you here." Ding Kui refused Ding Cai to follow him and took him with him.
Zeng Jian went to search for delicious food in the county.
Ding Cai wanted to find a wife, and Ding Kui was happy to see her succeed.
Following him, he didn't even have a wife, and it would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it, so Ding Kui didn't want to be a light bulb and refused Bai Jiyin's invitation.
"The crown prince is young and handsome, has extraordinary behavior, and has no airs about us commoners. Anyone who follows him is a lucky person. Brother Cai, you are so lucky." Bai Jiyin looked at Ding Cai enviously.
"Everyone in the county has seen the world. The proprietress of a small teahouse can say so many decent things when she sees you. Compared with the country people in Heitucheng, she is far behind." Zeng Jian said while turning around.
Take a look.
"Oh, maybe Ding Cai told her about me and knew that I was different from ordinary nobles." Ding Kui didn't pay much attention to this.
