Chapter 78 Breaking through the realm again

"The second-level foundation-building technique in Sihai Pavilion should be considered as a last resort, and I have no choice but to buy it again."

Jiang Qiong was walking on the bustling street and had no idea of ​​taking care of Sihai Pavilion's business for the time being.

After all, the price is too expensive.

"If you wait for a while, if you are lucky, you may be able to wait until the auction to auction the second-level foundation-building technique again."

Jiang Qiong walked to Sanshan Cave Mansion while thinking.

Staying in the cave, he took a short rest as usual, then came to the talisman drawing table, took out the materials, and concentrated on drawing the talisman.

Two days later.

The end of the traditional festival with lanterns.

Jiang Qiong invited Xue Shengde to enjoy a spiritual meal at a banquet. She wanted to improve her relationship, but unexpectedly learned that he would be transferred from Qianjiu Tower to manage the An family's spiritual field.

The gap caused by this change in status is not small. The number of spiritual stones that can be earned every year is reduced by about five times.

This means that Xue Shengde has lost power in Anjia.

Therefore, when he tasted the spiritual meal, he sighed deeply, looking depressed, but helpless.

Jiang Qiong was a little regretful. He really hoped that Xue Shengde would stay in the restaurant so that he could use his status to ward off some troubles. However, he could not interfere in the internal decisions of the An family and could only prepare a small gift for him.

It's said to be a small gift, but it's actually worth two spiritual stones, as a reward for gaining experience points.

This move made Xue Shengde a little surprised. He didn't expect that Jiang Qiong was still willing to give out valuable gifts when he was about to leave. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Qiong.

I remembered that when I chatted with Zhong Shan some time ago, he praised Jiang Qiong for being down-to-earth and hard-working and not arrogant or impetuous, which was very impressive.

Because of this good impression, and because Jiang Qiong had taken out the Ice Talisman, Xue Shengde tasted the spiritual meal, thought for a while, and led Jiang Qiong to find an old woman with silver hair.

This old woman is one of the five stewards of Qianjiu Restaurant. She mainly manages a group of dancers in the restaurant.

Xue Shengde introduced Jiang Qiong to her and asked the steward to look after her.

This move is equivalent to forming a small good relationship.

"To be able to be the manager of a restaurant, Lao Xue is very capable. In terms of treating others, he is impeccable."

Jiang Qiong walked out of the steward's private room and went downstairs, thinking to herself: "Intentionally introducing a steward to let me know him not only completely repaid the friendship with Binghanfu, but also forged a good relationship and gained a good reputation. .”

"Taking such thoughtful care of a Lingshan apprentice who is close to me shows that he treats people sincerely and values ​​friendship. Not only can he leave a good reputation in the circle, but he can also easily recruit talented people and let them serve him wholeheartedly."

It's a pity that even if you have some abilities on your own, you have to have a backer. Xue Shengde's backer fell in Anjia, which affected him, and he eventually lost power, which is regrettable.

The Lantern Festival ends in more than ten days.

When Xue Shengde left Qianjiu Tower, an old man with a hooked nose was parachuted in from Anjia to serve as the chief steward.

The new official took office three fires.

This big manager came with bad intentions. He seemed to be here under orders, intending to sideline An Yiqi and take charge of the restaurant alone.

Within two days of arriving, he dismissed a close steward of An Yiqi's staff. The reason was that the steward had embezzled the property of Mo Restaurant and enriched himself. After reporting the matter to the An family, he was dismissed.

This incident angered An Yiqi, and the two started fighting openly and secretly.

"The An family is the foundation-building family of Yaoyun Oasis. There are different bloodlines within it. As long as interests are involved, the various bloodlines are prone to disputes."

Jiang Qiong didn't care who was in charge of the restaurant.

As long as it doesn't affect his ability to gain experience points from killing monsters.

Silently kill the Shadow Desert Monster Lizard at hand.

[Experience value +21]

Jiang Qiong looked at the soaring experience value on the panel and felt happy.

"I have almost accumulated experience points. I will be able to break through to the eighth level of the Qi Training Realm tonight!"

With a smile in her eyes, Jiang Qiong cleaned the body of the Shadow Desert Monster Lizard in her hand, cut it into pieces, and put all the flesh, organs and other ingredients into the container.

As soon as he finished his work, he saw a skinny Lingshan apprentice walking over.

The apprentice looked at the monster materials in the container with a smile and asked in a kind tone:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, seeing that you have been busy for a long time, I will help you bring these ingredients to Master Zhong to save you another trip."

The Lingshan apprentice who came to Jiang Qiong was named Zhao Shuo. He was at the second level of Qi training and came from an ordinary family background.

In the past two days, for unknown reasons, he often came to chat with Jiang Qiong, always disturbing Jiang Qiong's speed in gaining experience points.

It's annoying.

"No need." Jiang Qiong's face showed an indifferent expression and she refused without hesitation.

Through Zhao Shuo's words, Jiang Qiong saw his intention,

No wonder it has been bothering me for the past two days.

It turned out that he wanted to covet the magical ingredients.

Generally speaking, in the process of slaughtering monsters, the spiritual meal apprentices can secretly steal some food or spiritual ingredients.

As long as you don't go too far, basically nothing will happen.

For example, if you take hundreds of kilograms of monster flesh and blood privately, as long as the spiritual chef is not a strict person, he will not be held accountable. After all, there will always be losses during the processing.

Over time, the apprentices of Lingshan would accumulate the monster ingredients they had stolen and sell them together, earning one or two spirit stones every year.

It is equivalent to the benefits of Lingshan apprentices.

Jiang Qiong naturally dislikes this spiritual stone. He is too lazy to keep it privately on weekdays. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he has to find channels to sell it. Moreover, there are several formations in the prison circle, with photo beads embedded in them to record the situation of the prison circle at all times.

Once a serious steward wants to deal with this matter, he can easily find out a bunch of apprentices who are greedy for food and spiritual ingredients through the formation.

Although the possibility is relatively small.

But for the sake of caution, Jiang Qiong was too lazy to take risks for one or two spiritual stones, lest he lose the way to gain experience points steadily.

If he could earn hundreds of spiritual stones every year, he might even try to secretly indulge in ink.

And Zhao Shuo now finds Jiang Qiong.

The main thing is that he has recently noticed that Jiang Qiong is very skillful and every time he brings the ingredients to the Lingshan Room, the portions are very generous.

An ordinary spiritual meal apprentice can only get twenty barrels of flesh and blood from slaughtering a Shadow Desert Monster Lizard. In Jiang Qiong's hands, he can fill about twenty-one barrels.

Zhao Shuo became greedy because of this, and wanted to help Jiang Qiong deliver food and spiritual ingredients, and secretly greedy Mo Mo on the way.

Such an idiot, blinded by greed, didn't even think about why Jiang Qiong gave him the opportunity to be greedy for the magical ingredients.

At this time, he still hoped to take advantage of Jiang Qiong.

"We are all apprentices of Lingshan Academy, so we should help each other. I am kind-hearted. If you don't thank me, forget it. Why are you so indifferent? You really don't understand good people!"

Zhao Shuo looked a little unhappy. He didn't expect Jiang Qiong to refuse so decisively and not give him any face.

"No need for your help."

It was impossible for Jiang Qiong to ask an unfamiliar monk to help deliver ingredients if something happened on the way.

It's easy for him to get into trouble.

"They say you have a withdrawn personality. When I saw you today, it turns out that you are really like this. No one should want to talk to you!"

Zhao Shuo was very unhappy because he didn't take advantage. He became angry and shouted angrily.

"You're an idiot." Jiang Qiong couldn't stand Zhao Shuo's noise beside him, and said in a cold voice: "Go away, don't stay here and be an eyesore."

"Hmph!" Zhao Shuo didn't expect Jiang Qiong to be so difficult to speak, so he couldn't help snorting coldly, glared at Jiang Qiong, and left angrily.

"The forest is so big, there are all kinds of birds."

Jiang Qiong knew that monks had different personalities, so she didn't pay attention to this incident and continued to slaughter the monsters in the prison cell, not taking fools like Zhao Shuo to heart.

Busy until dusk.

Jiang Qiong finished her duty and walked out of the restaurant, meeting Kong Lan and He Sheng on the way.

These two people were walking together with more than ten Lingshan apprentices. A group of people were talking and laughing, surrounding a young man in extraordinary clothes. It seemed that they were going to the mansion to hold a banquet.

Compared with more than ten days ago.

Both of them had a storage bag on their bodies, and their faces were rosy. It was obvious that they were living a more prosperous life during this period. Seeing Jiang Qiong's figure, Kong Lan and He Sheng were slightly stunned, but neither said a word.

Jiang Qiong glanced at the two of them, maintained her withdrawn character, and walked away in silence.

"Fellow Daoist Kong, Fellow Daoist He, if I remember correctly, the one who walked over just now was Jiang Qiong, right?"

Among the Lingshan apprentices, a woman in a yellow dress looked at Jiang Qiong's back and asked, "Isn't he from the same Lingshan room as you? Why don't you invite him to the banquet?"

Kong Lan curled his lips and said: "He is withdrawn and won't come, so there is no need to waste your breath."

"Is that so?" the woman in the yellow dress suddenly said, "I'm just wondering why he hasn't interacted with you all this time. It turns out he has a withdrawn personality."

"He is not only withdrawn, but also short-sighted and timid by nature." Kong Lan said with a sneer: "I kindly introduced him to the business, but in the end he didn't appreciate it at all and refused to take out a single spiritual crystal. He deserves to be treated as an ordinary person. Lingshan Apprentice.”

"Haha, he doesn't want to partner with Fellow Daoist Kong, you can come to me." A Lingshan apprentice next to him said with a smile: "I have always wanted to cooperate with Fellow Daoist Kong."

Kong Lan's business has been spread among the Lingshan apprentices during this time, especially the fact that she helped He Sheng earn money to buy the storage bag of Lingshi in a short period of time, which made everyone talk about it and feel happy. envious.

"We will discuss this matter another day." Kong Lan deliberately hooked the other Lingshan apprentices and lured them into taking the bait step by step.

Jiang Qiong hadn't gone far yet. His ears moved slightly, and he naturally heard Kong Lan's words. He felt more and more that it was a wise decision for him to deliberately show a cold personality.

Otherwise, just dealing with this group of Lingshan apprentices would be a troublesome matter.

Deliberately chose a side road.

Jiang Qiong distanced herself from the Lingshan apprentice.

He walked along the street for a while, passing by a remote area where he could easily shrink his bones, went to the market for a few rounds, and finally returned to the cave.

Stay in the cave.

Jiang Qiong sat cross-legged on the futon and activated the spirit gathering formation and the restraining formation.

He slowly breathed out the spiritual energy and adjusted his condition.

Then with a flash of thought, the panel appeared.

[Name: Jiang Qiong]

[Realm: Seventh level of Qi training realm (2427/2700)]

【Experience: 311】

Jiang Qiong looked at the panel, her thoughts flashed, and she piled experience points on the realm. The next moment, pure spiritual energy grew in her body.

It was about half an hour in the past.

His aura became more powerful, his spiritual consciousness increased, and the pure spiritual energy in his body was like a winding stream, flowing slowly along his meridians and gathering in his Dantian.

[Realm: Eighth level of Qi training realm (2738/3600)

【Experience: 0】

"I've reached the eighth level of Qi training!"

Jiang Qiong waved his fist, wrapped in powerful spiritual energy, which could seriously injure a monk at the second or third level of Qi training realm with one punch.

"My spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy in my body have doubled compared to the sixth level of Qi training realm."

"When I meet the gangster leader in Yulingfang City again, I guess I can have a head-to-head confrontation with him for a long time!"

"We won't have to run away in embarrassment like last time."

Jiang Qiong let out a long breath.

Until this moment.

He felt a little more at ease.

At the eighth level of the Qi Training Realm, unless you are surrounded or suppressed, or encounter a Foundation Establishment Realm monk.

Otherwise, you can walk sideways in Pingyun County.

"Foundation-building monks are the backbone of various forces. They are few in number and it is difficult to encounter them on weekdays."

While consolidating her realm, Jiang Qiong whispered to herself: "Most of the people I can meet are monks in the Qi training realm."

"With my current strength, it is difficult for monks in the Qi training realm to pose a fatal threat to me."

"Even if I encounter a monk at the ninth level of Qi training realm, he can't do anything to me. He can't beat me but he can still run away."

The confidence brought by the improvement of realm.

Jiang Qiong felt deeply at this moment. The powerful spiritual energy slowly circulated in his body, giving him a great sense of security.

Consolidated the realm overnight.

The next day, he went out to Lingshan Courtyard and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Some of the spiritual bakers and apprentices I encountered on the road had bitter expressions on their faces, and some even showed anger.

"What happened?"

Jiang Qiong went to Lingshan Room No. 3 and saw Zhong Shan's serious expression, his face slightly solemn.

Kong Lan, He Sheng, and Hong Jingyuan next to them all had bitter melon faces and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"We're all here. Here are three things I want to tell you."

Seeing Jiang Qiong come in, Zhong Shan called the four Lingshan apprentices in front of him and said: "The first thing is that for a long time to come, the budget for the spiritual stone provided by the restaurant to our No. 3 Lingshan Room will be reduced. .”

"This will lead to a reduction in the number of ingredients provided for you to practice on weekdays."

"The second thing is that the restaurant is suddenly going to hold a competition between Lingshan apprentices. It will be held in three months. The five apprentices at the bottom will be eliminated."

"The third thing is, you must not be greedy when handling the ingredients. The restaurant has been very strict recently. Once discovered, you will be removed from your post on the same day and you will have to pay spiritual stones."

"Just yesterday, the restaurant manager severely punished a chef and three apprentices who were greedy for food."

"You all pay attention."

After saying this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Jiang Qiong also looked surprised, guessing that these three things were probably caused by the new manager of the restaurant.

Different chief executives are in charge, and resources are allocated differently.

For example, Xue Shengde has a good relationship with Zhong Shan, and the spiritual stones provided to Ling Shan Room No. 3 are usually sufficient, allowing Zhong Shan to use the ingredients at will, try to create his own secret Ling Shan method, and even have the remaining resources to train Ling Shan apprentices.

Now that the chief manager has changed, Jiang Qiong can understand that some of the resources of the No. 3 Lingshan Room are taken back to the Lingshan Master who is close to him.

The second thing and the third thing.

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Qiong could roughly guess what the big manager was thinking. He probably wanted to kick out some apprentices, free up errand places, and train a group of his own young people to enter the restaurant.

It's just that this move seems a bit extreme at the moment.

Suddenly, more people were offended.

"That's all there is to say."

"Jiang Qiong come out with me."

After Zhong Shan finished talking about three things, he called Jiang Qiong out.

The two stayed in a remote area.

Zhong Shan asked directly: "Do you have any magical ingredients from Tanmo Restaurant recently?"

Jiang Qiong shook his head without hesitation and said, "No."

"Can you guarantee that?"

Zhong Shan's tone seemed very serious.

"I can guarantee that since I came to the restaurant, I have not touched any spiritual ingredients or spiritual ingredients." Jiang Qiong said without any guilt in her tone, and asked: "Why did Master Zhong suddenly ask like this?"

"It's fine if you don't." Zhong Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yesterday, someone secretly reported that a group of Lingshan apprentices were secretly stealing food ingredients, and your name was among them. The chief manager is currently sending people to investigate the matter."
