Chapter 132 Reminiscing about the past
Chapter 132 Reminiscing about the past
Cai Ji suddenly helped Feng Ling improve his cultivation level, which consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy.
But he didn't feel sorry at all.
He knew that by doing this he would not lose anything.
You can also take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!
Since Wang Tiechui said that the spiritual veins of the Demon Suppression Bureau have so much spiritual power that it is inexhaustible, we must go and take a look.
Of course, if you want to get the chance to go to the spiritual vein, you have to negotiate directly with Wang Tiechui, the old fox, but you will definitely be blackmailed by the other party.
On the contrary, if he gave the benefits directly to Feng Ling, Wang Tiechui, as her suitor, would never ask for any reward from him no matter how thick-skinned he was.
Unless, Dasi Ming wants to be single based on his own strength!
"I...have completed the control of my spirit?" Feng Ling was shocked when she heard Cai Ji's words.
"Is this possible?" Wang Tiechui couldn't believe it.
"Of course!" Cai Ji nodded, pretending to be weak, and said righteously: "For the sake of the human race, we need more first-class masters! Great Sima Ming, you won't be jealous, right?"
"I'm not jealous at all! I'm so happy that Lingmei can break through to the first level!" Wang Tiechui was so anxious that he cursed on the spot.
"It's true!" Feng Ling felt the condition of her body and showed a look of surprise, but when she looked up and saw Cai Ji's weak appearance, she hurriedly asked, "Manager Cai, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I just consumed a lot of energy and blood, as well as a huge amount of spiritual power." Cai Ji answered nonchalantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a fish took the bait!
“It’s just a small matter!” Wang Tiechui was anxious and took the initiative to say, “Manager Cai! Come with me to the Tower of Babel. I’ll have someone give you a top-grade elixir that can restore your vitality! You can also practice in the tower for a few days to make sure your spiritual power is fully restored!”
"On the tower? The spiritual vein of Zhongzhou is at the top of Tongtian Mountain?" Cai Ji was secretly happy in his heart but pretended to be curious on his face.
"To be exact, it's not on the top of the mountain! It's in the sky! The Tower of Babel is built so high not for the sake of appearance, but to be as close to the spiritual veins in the sky as possible." Wang Tiechui finished explaining with a smile, then turned to Feng Ling and said, "Sister Ling, you can break through in the tower, and I will protect you."
Feng Ling wanted to tell him to shut up, but seeing Da Siming’s sincere look, she chose to endure it.
……
Three days later, Tongtian City.
Cai Ji did not rush to the top floor of the Tower of Babel to gain spiritual power, but gave the place to Feng Siming and let her break through first.
He was afraid that if he used his own spiritual power capacity to practice the Tianyuan Sutra nearby, the spiritual power near the Tower of Babel would be wiped out, which would have a bad impact on the other party.
Of course he was not idle either.
According to the division of labor in the plan, the Demon Suppression Division is responsible for implementing the national strengthening plan, while he is responsible for mass-producing "magic weapons" that can be used to strengthen the human race's physique.
Cai Ji originally thought that his job was easy. He only needed to use the Holy Word to transform some daily items into "magic weapons" that could be used to strengthen humans.
But when it comes to actual operation, I found that it doesn’t work at all!
It’s not that the Holy Word doesn’t work.
But they are ordinary everyday items that cannot withstand the spiritual power required for strengthening.
Clothes, toilets, tables, chairs and benches, once too much spiritual power is injected into them, they will be destroyed instantly!
There is no way to make a magic weapon that can be used repeatedly.
Even ordinary steel cannot withstand it.
If we use Holy Words to strengthen them, the consumption will be too great.
Because the magic weapons to be made are not just one or two, but hundreds or thousands.
"Oh my god, what should I do now?"
Cai Ji dug a hole for himself and was immediately in trouble.
The bull has already been blown out, and we can't fail to get the goods out.
Fortunately, there is plenty of time now.
He decided to go for a walk on the street, spending money and looking for inspiration.
As the main city of Zhongzhou, Tongtian City has a large area.
However, the level of congestion is also the highest in Central China.
Hundreds of thousands of people live in and around the city, the streets are crowded and the houses are lined up side by side.
Except for a few relatively wide main roads used for military purposes, the conditions in other areas are comparable to those in Kowloon Walled City.
Although people living in the main city do not have to worry about attacks from monsters, the living conditions of ordinary people can only be described as poor.
Cai Ji wandered around the street for a long time but couldn't find any inspiration.
Seeing that it was getting late, he simply walked towards the slums in the north of the city.
Tongtian City was built around the mountains. The northern area of the city, located in the shadow of the mountain, lacked sunlight and naturally became a residential area for poor people, commonly known as a slum.
Cai Ji made a living in Tongtian City and lived in the north of the city.
He lived in this crowded and chaotic area for two whole years.
As time passed, he became the son of destiny with a mountain of gold on his shoulders.
But the slums in the north of the city have hardly changed.
The houses are still as crowded, the alleys are still as narrow, and the light is still as dim.
However, unlike the slums on Earth, this world has no plastic pollution, and not much can be wasted. Even feces are used as agricultural fertilizer.
Although it is dark and crowded here, there is no garbage everywhere and the air is okay.
However, most of the residents coming and going had expressions of melancholy and confusion on their faces.
Because making a living is not easy.
“Isn’t this Xiao Cai?”
"Wow! Look at Boss Cai's new clothes. He must have made a fortune!"
"Oh, it's really Cai Ji who's back!"
"Why did your hair fall out?"
"Come, come, come home and have some tea."
Cai Ji walked around the place where he used to live and was soon recognized.
When the neighbors heard the noise, they all came out to say hello.
Although the slums are poor, they are full of human touch.
While greeting everyone, Cai Ji gave out various gifts that he had bought on the road.
The gifts were not expensive, most of them were foods such as salted fish and bacon, and some alcoholic beverages.
Apart from silver, these gifts are most popular among poor people.
Cai Ji found an old friend's house, took out the wine, food and peanuts he had prepared, and asked his old friend to invite all his old brick-moving partners to reminisce about the past.
In less than a moment, a dozen old friends filled the house.
"Xiao Cai, you are doing well out there!"
"What's Xiao Cai? Cai Ji opened his own inn, so he should be called Boss Cai!"
"Where is Mr. Cai's inn?"
"Boss, are you short of people? I want to work with you."
While eating and drinking, everyone asked questions curiously.
"Well, I just opened a small inn in a small county town! I can barely make a living." Cai Ji waved his hand modestly and asked: "Brothers, how have you been these years?"
The words were out, and the atmosphere suddenly became much colder.
"Just like before, just struggle to survive! Although Tongtian City is safe, there are too few jobs to do! Xiao Cai, you should have a long-term vision and go out to fight for your living early."
"Who says it's not true? But we are different from Xiao Cai. Xiao Cai is alone and can go wherever he wants, but we have families and can't leave even if we want to."
"There's no other way! It's too difficult to want to be safe and live an easy life at the same time!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all complained.
Cai Ji saw that everyone was depressed and wanted to give them some encouragement and tell them his grand plan.
But in order to avoid the news leaking out, I had to resist the urge.
