In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight poured into the room through the gap in the curtains on the third floor of the tavern, Lei Xiao sat up from the floor.
Looking at the tiny golden spots around him, Lei Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the mattress, cheered up and swallowed a Qi Condensing Pill, then closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to refine it.
A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Now, he has successfully reached the level of the second level seven stars.
"It seems that promotion to the third level is just around the corner."
Rubbing his hands together excitedly, Lei Xiao stood up again, stretched his muscles, and then walked out of the door.
This time, the person guarding the door was the twin sister Nan Xing.
"Good morning, Lord."
Seeing Lei Xiao walking out of the door in high spirits, Nan Xing, who was wearing a green outfit, quickly saluted and bowed.
On the other side, after stretching first and then checking the attribute bar, Lei Xiao asked casually: "Nanxing, has your strength improved?"
"Thanks to the lord."
Blinking her smart eyes, Nan Xing subconsciously stroked the blue crescent-shaped hairpin on her short hair beside her ear, and said with some excitement: "My subordinate has now reached the level of the third level and the sixth level."
"Very good." Lei Xiao smiled slightly, closed the door, touched the other person's head and said, "Okay, let's go downstairs together."
In this way, along the wooden stairs, the two people arrived at the first floor of the tavern one after another.
At this time, Nanyue and Chaoyan were helping Xiaoya prepare breakfast in the kitchen, while Huzhang and Yecang were on the roof of the tavern, inspecting the surrounding environment.
As for the tavern owner Maia, just like yesterday, he had already gone to the morning market to stock up.
"Lord, breakfast is ready!"
Not long after Nan Xing and Nan Xing sat at the table for a while, Chao Yan and the other three people came out one after another carrying trays.
Lei Xiao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no longer the unknown black object on the plate.
At the same time, he also noticed that the strength of Nanyue and Chaoyan had also risen to the third level seven stars and the third level two stars respectively.
Next, after everyone filled their stomachs, Lei Xiao first nodded to Xiaoya, the cook who was clearing the table, to express his gratitude.
Then, he said to the five subordinates beside him: "Okay, now it's time for our highlight today."
…
A high-end hotel in Gelin City, in a luxurious princess suite.
"Dear Miss Faxia, are you a little too lazy for lying down this morning?"
Beside a soft sofa in the living room, a pretty young maid holding a teapot, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, said to the young aristocratic woman in front of her, her body completely embedded in the sofa.
"Ah Bing, don't make any noise..."
On the other side, Fasha was immersed in the soft sofa. His hair was frizzy and his pretty face showed a lack of motivation. It was very different from the energetic look in front of outsiders.
I saw her yawning unladylikely first, then lazily turning over and saying, "Let me take a nap again."
"Miss Faxia, if you continue to be so lazy, I won't make it for you at noon, and you will eat your favorite crepe!"
Putting the teapot gently on the exquisite coffee table aside, the young maid named A Bing, with her slender eyebrows almost twisted together, said with her hands on her hips.
"No, no... Ah Bing, don't be so heartless."
Reluctantly sitting up from the sofa, Faxia rubbed his sleepy eyes and pouted: "It's not easy to get out of the family, why don't you let me relax a little."
"My dear eldest lady, in order to train you, the master and his wife have almost emptied the Fuyue family's wealth over the years."
On the other side, Ah Bing's pretty face was full of worry. She shook her head and said, "If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before the soldiers' rations and pay will no longer be paid.
Once a mutiny occurs, the elders of the family will continue to exert pressure, and I am afraid that my position as head of the family will soon be lost.
You know, the Great Elder has been coveting the position of the head of the family for a long time, and is worried about not finding the opportunity.
According to his ruthless temperament, once he ascends to the throne of the head of the family, I am afraid that the master and his wife will suffer!"
"How dare he! If he really goes that far, I will fight with him!"
Hearing this, Faxia's fair and delicate face suddenly became fierce, but soon it turned into a deep helplessness.
Although her talent is outstanding, at the moment, she can only refine second-level potions at best.
If you want to go further, you must spend more money to purchase the formulas and precious materials required for third-level potions.
After continuous practice, it is possible to reach the level of a third-level alchemist.
However, given the current situation of the family, it is obviously impossible to continue to support her burning money like this.
However, with the current income of a second-level alchemist.
It is obviously unrealistic to block the money hole that the family has used to cultivate him for so many years before the great elder launches an attack...
Thinking of this, Faxia sighed softly and completely woke up.
She blinked her starry eyes feebly and curled her lips and said, "Well, if it weren't for the sake of face, we wouldn't live in such a luxurious luxury suite, and we could save a lot of money."
After regaining his energy, Faxia said to the maid next to him: "Ah Bing, how much has our family spent in total over the years?"
On the other side, A Bing took out a notebook with a dense memory from the pocket of her black and white maid uniform and said: "Including the travel expenses this time, the total is 1,503,905 gold dragons.
Speaking of which, ever since the eldest lady started to come into contact with alchemy.
In the family's fiefdom, not only are there 1,000 fewer elite soldiers than before, but there are also fewer servants..."
"Ah... Ah Bing, stop talking."
Hearing this, Faxia covered her ears, got back into the gap of the sofa, and murmured to herself: "I wonder if there is someone who can allow me to continue learning high-level alchemy while also
A big shot appears to help this young lady pay off her debts?
It’s best to be one with strong energy and the ability to suppress the Great Elder’s faction.”
"Miss, I'm afraid you are not dreaming."
Shaking his head helplessly, Ah Bing spread his hands and said: "Who in the entire upper class circle of Lengyan Kingdom doesn't know your name, Faxia Fuyue..."
"Ah Bing, you girl, can't you say a few nice words to comfort me?"
Sitting up again angrily, Faxia's pretty face showed a touch of expectation and said: "If there is such a big shot, I can just let this young lady be loyal to him for the rest of my life!"
Just when the two of them were talking about this, a polite knock on the door suddenly rang.
