Chapter 49: A Night Around the Fireplace

Winter is the off-season for foreign trade. Since Yang Lu's interview is coming to an end, For a whole day, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce did not have any problems that Yang Lu and Li Qingning needed to deal with in person.

Li Qingning's office was temporarily unable to stay because the door was kicked to pieces by Steward Zhou. On a snowy night, after all, it was most comfortable to sit in the reception room of Qingning Chamber of Commerce to keep warm by the fireplace.

Although the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is equipped with a civilian constant temperature fairy array, the heating effect of this kind of civilian fairy array is not ideal. In the Nine Provinces cultivation world, Spiritual Qi is the most precious resource between Heaven and Earth. According to the rules set by each Great Sect, the usage of Spiritual Qi for civilian use in each region has an upper limit. The general principle is to follow the local Heaven and Earth Spiritual The total output of Qi is distributed.

As for how to measure the "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi output", in fact, there is no quantitative conclusion in the cultivation world.

However, according to the second law of cultivation, the law of conservation of Spiritual Qi, proposed by Bo Nanke senior, who is a cultivation Economics, during his lifetime, the total annual output of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is a fixed number. The consumption of Earth Spiritual Qi exceeds the output, and the local Spiritual Qi becomes thin.

According to this theory, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Nine Provinces cultivation world today is lower than that in Ancient Era and the Middle Ages, which is due to the excessive number of cultivators and fairy formations.

Seacliff City has a large population, and Spiritual Qi supply is tighter than those sparsely populated famous mountains and rivers. Within the sphere of influence of the Seacliff Department, not only is the excessive use of Spiritual Qi a very serious crime, but even the operational efficiency of all civilian fairy formations must be deliberately lowered to maintain the sustainable use of the local Spiritual Qi.

Not only that, if Seacliff Sect finds that the concentration of Spiritual Qi in Seacliff City has dropped significantly, so as to affect the battle strength of Seacliff Sect cultivator, Seacliff City's main office will also issue the "Civil Spiritual Qi Emergency Restriction Order" , temporarily suspend the operation of the city's civilian fairy array until the concentration of Seacliff City Spiritual Qi returns to normal.

After the promulgation of the "Civil Spiritual Qi Emergency Restriction Order", not only will all the constant temperature fairy arrays be forcibly closed, but even the Spiritual Qi street lights used for lighting will all be turned off, bringing great excitement to the nightlife of Seacliff City residents. Due to the great inconvenience, the "Civil Spiritual Qi Emergency Restraining Order" came into effect, which was also dubbed by the citizens of Seacliff City as "restricting gas".

Although the civilian constant temperature fairy array of Qingning Chamber of Commerce is only a reduced version, it is already a symbol of Li Qingning's status. He couldn't even apply for the construction permit for Hengwen Xianzhen, and it was forced to close its doors in winter.

If it is during the day, the constant temperature fairy array of Qingning Chamber of Commerce can barely maintain a relatively comfortable indoor temperature, but when the time comes to night, it clearly shows signs of being powerless.

Li Qingning, as a cultivator, is not afraid of cold and heat for a long time, but Yang Lu and Murong will inevitably feel a little cold after sitting for a long time, so Li Qingning instructed Murong to raise a fire in the room and put the whole The reception room was warm.

Looking at the snow under the rays of light outside the window lattice, even Yang Lu, who has experienced various high-end enjoyments in Earth, can't help but sigh: warm room and cold winter night, Always the perfect match!

The three of them sat on the floor around the fire.

With Li Qingning and Murong, two big and small beauties for company, even if it's just gossip, playing poker, talking about novels and anecdotes, and casually flipping through the works of ancient culture economics, It will look extra warm and comfortable.

Although Li Qingning is a famous Eldest Young Lady in the cultivation world, she is also a young girl who is only 22 years old. The relationship is naturally quite good. After work, the three of them can often get together to play cards, tell stories, and talk about everyday life.

In the beginning, Murong was a little reserved, but because Yang Lu was very open, he didn't have the mentality of being inferior at all as a mortal, and Eldest Young Lady Qingning was also a person with a temperament, a three-person room. The atmosphere is obviously much more natural than when it first started.

Yang Lu can see that Li Qingning also enjoys the feeling of sitting and gathering with friends. For a Chamber of Commerce Eldest Young Lady like her, perhaps such a warm experience, It was her rarest experience!

In order to pass the time, Yang Lu also specially taught the two girls how to play poker. In Nine Provinces cultivation world where entertainment is relatively scarce, the poker cards introduced from Earth quickly aroused the interest of Li Qingning and Murong, and the three of them just made up a table to fight landlords, because the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is the largest among the three As the topic of poker table continues to advance, the focus of everyone's discussion naturally moves to the aspects of cultivation Economics and Sect management.

Li Qingning is from an academic Aristocratic Family. Even a temporary grass-roots team like the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of books. Yang Lu will accompany the two women to play cards and read them from time to time. The wisdom of these cultivation sages.

The book Yang Lu was holding at this time was the book of Bo Nanke, a famous ancient culture economics expert-

"The Courage to Act: The Second Spirit Stone Financial Crisis" The Beginning and End"

This book is a life memoir written by Nascent Soul's ten-level cultivator Bo Nanke in his later years after he failed in his ascension attempt.

As the Immeasurable Sword Sect Sect Master at the outbreak of the second Spirit Stone financial crisis, Bo Nanke senior has achieved amazing academic achievements in many different academic fields. Sir Isaac Newton called Nine Provinces cultivation world.

He is not only the founder of the contemporary "Spirit Stone Monetary" theory, but also personally created the Nine Provinces currency union, the predecessor of Spirit Stone Reserve Bank today, and he is also a great cultivation scientist, who has proposed through controlled experiments. The famous three laws of cultivation world -- Spiritual Qi conservation law, spirit root law of large numbers, Spiritual Qi absorption efficiency law.

With Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator's long lifespan, this Bo Nanke senior has also achieved many other strange academic achievements, such as the "cultivation mental method shorthand technique" which is now used by Nine Provinces cultivators. " and "Immortal Technique formula memory rules" and so on.

Bo Nanke's failure to ascend to Immortal World is also recognized as the biggest regret of the cultivation world in the past ten thousand years.

Li Qingning used two 3s to forcibly blew up Yang Lu and four 2s. Seeing Yang Lu constantly flipping through Bo Nanke's writings, Li Qingning couldn't help saying curiously: "Yang Lu, it seems you are very I like the works of Bo Nanke senior!"

Seeing that his four 2s were blown up by Li Qingning's cheating, Yang Lu face doesn't change, and threw two 4 pipes with his backhand: "Bo Nanke Nanke senior's monetary theory is very interesting, and the Nine Provinces currency union he founded is indeed a unique one."

Seeing that Yang Lu's four 2s were bombed by Li Qingning's two 3s, then Yang Lu used two 4's to give the control again. Murong didn't know how to play the cards anymore, so he had no choice but to say "pass".

But hearing Yang Lu's statement, Murong couldn't help but interject: "But everyone says that President Lu Yang's cultivation economics is the highest, but I don't think you have studied it seriously. Go through the work of President Lu..."

At this time, Li Qingning threw away two jacks very naturally, and controlled Yang Lu's pair of 4s, without any sense of shame.

Yang Lu just smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry... I don't think President Lu Yang's theoretical level is not good, but President Lu Yang's theory is very, er... On the contrary, Bo Nanke's senior's theory is more novel, and it inspires me more."

At this time, it was Murong's turn to play the card.

Looking at the two Jacks played by Li Qingning, and the two Qs in her hand, Murong finally said "it's not worth it", an honest person like her has completely mastered it. This magical game is over!

Hearing Yang Lu touts Bo Nanke, Li Qingning's face was obviously not very good, although he won by cheating.

If you choose who is the greatest cultivation economics in the history of cultivation world, there are only three candidates recognized by cultivation world:

Creating the three-standard currency system and ending the first Spirit Ms. Ye Lun, the founder of Stone Financial Crisis's cultivation Economics;

Founded the Nine Provinces currency union system to end the second Spirit Stone financial crisis. Master Bo Nanke senior;

President Lu Yang, the Great Accomplishment of the Great Accomplishment of the cultivation Economics who founded the Spirit Stone credit currency system and ended the third Spirit Stone financial crisis.

According to the current mainstream view of the culture world, the number of people who support President Lu Yang should be the largest, the number of people who support Bo Nanke senior follow closely from behind, and the number of people who support Ye Lun is relatively the least, and the number of people who support President Lu Yang is the same as that of the former. There is a clear difference between the numbers of the two.

Seeing that Yang Lu devoted most of his energy to researching Bo Nanke's writings, the two women apparently acquiesced that he was a "Bo Nanke School".

Li Qingyang is President Lu Yang's assistant and named Disciple. Li Qingning as it should be by rights is a staunch supporter of the "Lu Yang faction".

After playing the last card in her hand and unilaterally declaring her victory, the beautiful Eldest Young Lady immediately retorted: "President Lu Yang has obtained seven golden wheels of merit, which is higher than that of Bo Nanke senior. The Golden Wheel of Six Paths of Merit, obviously Heavenly Dao also thinks that President Lu is better. Not to mention, Bo Nanke senior failed to ascend in his life, but Lu Yang senior achieved the position of immortal.”

Yang Lu immediately made a gesture of surrender, and then took the initiative to shuffle the cards for the two ladies, explaining: "President Lu is indeed a great home of cultivation economics! I just say that Bo Nanke senior's theory inspires me more. , does not mean to belittle President Lu. If talking about his achievements in the Nine Provinces cultivation world, it is natural that President Lu is greater. After all, in addition to the establishment of the Spirit Stone Reserve Bank, he also prepared the Immeasurable Sword Sect Stock Exchange and the cultivation Financial Supervision Committee. Nanke senior is not as far as him!”

Yang Lu is telling the truth.

Although President Lu Yang's theory of cultivation economics is more advanced and his contributions are more prominent, these theoretical results of President Lu Yang are highly similar to Earth's theoretical results and have no enlightening significance to Yang Lu.

On the contrary, it was the Nine Provinces currency union system founded by Bo Nanke that made him feel bright.

He thought that the Nine Provinces currency union system was a variant of the Bretton Woods system, but after careful study he found that its underlying principles were completely different from Earth's Bretton Woods system.

Considering that neither Li Qingning nor Murong have any foundations in Spirit Stone Numismatics, Yang Lu did not give an in-depth explanation of this, and was just a perfunctory attitude of "everything the Eldest Young Lady says is right".

Seeing Yang Lu voluntarily admit defeat, the beautiful Eldest Young Lady suddenly burst into a charming smile: "This makes me continue to call me a landlord... I know that you also support President Lu Yang! I have always listened to it since I was a child. I grew up with the story of President Lu, and I don't know if I can achieve the same achievements as President Lu in my life."

Yang Lu forcibly resisted the urge to complain, not embarrassed to attack Li Qingning's enthusiasm.

In terms of theoretical level, Yang Lu considers himself to be no less than that President Lu. If Li Qingning is willing to study the knowledge he has imparted as seriously as Murong, his future achievements may not be comparable to the senior sages, just look at Li Qingning. Yang Lu felt that it was difficult for her to realize her lofty ideals with her learning attitude of fishing for three days and two days for netting.

Through this period of time, Yang Lu has quite understood the details of Li Qingning.

Li Qingning has the rare cultivation aptitude of Top Grade Wind Spirit Root. Since he stepped into Xianmen at the age of 16, in just over 3 years, he has gone from the lowest guiding qi into the body realm. cultivated to Qi Refinement Great Perfection Realm.

She has not advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm in the last two years, not because she can't afford the Foundation Establishment Pill, but according to the Heavenly Dao agreement signed jointly by Nine Provinces Seven Major Sects, each Qi Refinement Realm cultivator You must participate in at least one Foreign Domain Battlefield Trial to be eligible to progress to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Therefore, Li Qingning must wait until the end of this year's Foreign Domain trial is completed before he can obtain the qualification to continue cultivation, otherwise he will bear the penalty of terrifying breach of contract.

With this kind of spirit root aptitude that defies the sky, even if Li Qingning doesn't cultivate merit and virtue, it is not a problem to secluded cultivation to the Golden Core Realm step by step. expect. I don't know what the Eldest Young Lady was motivated by, she had to run away from home to run Chamber of Commerce!

Li Qingning didn't know that Yang Lu was secretly complaining about herself, she was addicted to fighting the landlord and couldn't extricate herself.

Staring at the cards in her hand, Eldest Young Lady's pretty face flushed slightly with excitement, and she couldn't help rubbing her white hands together, watching her undisguised brows. As it looked, Yang Lu didn't have to guess to know she had a good hand.

Sure enough, Li Qingning raised his hand and played a bunch of cards this time: "Shunzi, 345678910J, does anyone want it?"

Murong hesitated for a moment, and used a tone of uncertainty. Said: "This is 45678910JQ, I'm in charge!"

However, Li Qingning did not continue to cheat this time, but directly threw away four cards domineeringly: "What about the control? Four 2 blows up!"

Yang Lu and Murong said they couldn't afford it when they saw this.

Li Qingning immediately smiled proudly and threw away four cards in his hand again.

"Three aces with a 5, I have two cards left. If you can't afford it, I will win this one!"

See you Li Qingning's face was full of victory, Yang Lu laughed: "I blew you with 4 Ks!"

"Why do you have a bomb in your hand?"

"Luck , it's just luck!"

Li Qingning was anxious when she saw that her winning cards were gone.> Yang Lu suddenly said very speechless: "You just told me that two 3s can blow me up to four 2s, and I recognize it, but now it's alright, you say one 3 can blow me four Ks, which is still Can you play?"

Li Qingning blushed, but still refused to admit defeat: "Then you can also use a 4 to control my 3!"

" I'm not stupid, do you think I don't know that your last card is Zhang Dawang?"

Seeing Yang Lu ruthlessly exposed the fact that he was lying, Li Qingning even forgot that he was in a hurry. A cultivator, he jumped up and pushed Yang Lu to the ground. He suppressed Yang Lu with his body and said, "I asked someone to help you with this deck of cards. Can't we play according to my rules?"

The temperature by the stove is quite equal Comfortable, Yang Lu and Li Qingning are both thinly dressed, separated by two layers of thin cloth, their bodies transmit warm body temperature to each other. Feeling the elasticity of Li Qingning's long legs, and the breath of her breath when she speaks, Yang Lu couldn't help but say with a smile: "No opinion, of course no opinion! There is an old saying in our hometown called Beauty is justice, Eldest Young Lady, you are the embodiment of justice!"

Hearing Yang Lu's teasing, Li Qingning finally realized that her posture was very indecent. She jumped away from Yang Lu's body as if she was scalded. The soft touch was disappeared, and Yang Lu couldn't help smacking his lips regretfully.

If it's on Earth, a girl of Li Qingning's age would probably be able to come up with pornographic jokes.

Looking at Li Qingning's white, tender and smooth face, smeared with a drunken blush, speechless for a long time, this is a Chamber of Commerce female Boss.
