Monster, come to my bowl

As the saying goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice!

Cai Ji didn't get the holy sword and he also lost his rolling pin, so he was at a loss for what to do.

I have thousands of holy words in my heart, but my hands are empty.

At present, his body has only been strengthened once, and there are only a few verified holy words. He is still a long way from becoming a god!

We can't just stop like this, can we?

What to do?

Cai Ji thought about it for two days and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution!

He is going out - to collect junk!

After casting the Holy Word of 'Strong Body', he supplemented his speculation and felt that in addition to high-quality weapons, some special objects made of special materials could also be used as spellcasting tools.

For example, a rolling pin made of old sandalwood!

If a rolling pin works, why not a plunger?

There are no plungers in this world!

Well, there must be hoes and rakes to scratch those itch, right?

Although these things seem less reliable than ordinary weapons, what if they are made of some special materials?

These things in the hands of ordinary people are not worth much at all.

You only need to spend a few taels of silver at most and you can receive a lot!

Cai Ji now has no spellcasting props and cannot continue to cast the Holy Word to strengthen his body. Instead of staying at home and having nothing to do, he might as well go out for a walk and see if there is any chance of striking lucky.

In addition, isn’t the saint in the portrait holding a holy book in his left hand?

Cai Ji guessed that it should be a secondary equipment.

Since books can be used as secondary equipment, then some strange things may also be able to be used.

For example, you can try old books, antiques, jade pendants, sachets and the like.

Since we are going to do an experiment, we cannot be afraid of hard work or fatigue.

Our ancestors said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth!

Cai Ji is a practical man.

Once you make up your mind, start putting it into practice.

He asked Honghong and Lanlan to follow behind in a donkey cart, and he himself walked through the streets of Nanshan Town with a homemade loudspeaker, shouting loudly.

"Old things... old farm tools... for eggs! Old pots and pans... old books... for copper coins! Jade pendants, antiques, and bronze wares... for silver!"

The rhythmic slogan quickly attracted the attention of the townspeople.

Thanks to the "good" reputation that Cai Ji had established some time ago, the townspeople saw that he was spending money to collect things, and immediately responded enthusiastically. They took out useful and useless things from their homes and swarmed forward.

"This is a firewood stick that has been passed down in my family for eight generations. Shopkeeper Cai, please take a look!"

"Want to collect the rake I just broke yesterday?"

"The bronze mirror! It's my wife's dowry! It was handed down from her great-grandmother's great-grandmother."

"Here's a toilet lid, made of rosewood..."

"This is the iron-arm bow used by my great-grandfather. The bow was stolen and only the string is left."

"Manager Cai, you will definitely like this rare edition of Silver Basin Orchid!"

The crowd was holding all kinds of "treasures" and chattering, surrounding Cai Ji.

Cai Ji was not stingy when he saw how cooperative everyone was.

Apart from rejecting some completely useless things and a few unreasonable people who asked for exorbitant prices, he almost accepted everything. He accepted whatever was available and provided everyone with a price that satisfied them!

In less than half a day, Honghong and Lanlan, who were in charge of helping out, were sweating profusely, and the donkey cart was filled to the brim.

Although there were a lot of things, it didn't cost much.

The amount of silver Cai Ji gave out was less than fifty taels.

This was because he had received two "rare items", otherwise he wouldn't even need thirty taels.

What are these two rare items?

It will be mentioned later, keep it secret here for now!

……

Return to Xue Mansion.

A group of servants were called in to help move all the things into the plum garden.

Cai Ji then began his tedious self-reinforcement experiment.

Xue Yi did not show up.

She had gone back to Qinghe City the day before to handle official business.

As the second-in-command, you can't just stay at home and draw a salary.

You still have to go to class.

In addition, the biggest threat to Nanshan Town has temporarily disappeared.

Feng Siming, who came to the Centipede Cave to confirm intelligence a while ago, not only killed the iron-backed centipedes in the cave, but also collapsed the cave when he left.

Without the threat of the iron-back centipede, Nanshan Town became a relatively peaceful place.

Xue Yi had no reason to continue leading the Demon-Suppressing Guards to guard here, nor could he continue to keep an eye on Cai Ji.

"Be strong and healthy!"

"Be strong and healthy!"

"..."

Wow!

Ding Ling clang!

Cai Ji sat in the garden and drew lots with a pile of miscellaneous items in front of him.

Others draw ten or eighty times in a row!

He drew a hundred times, eight hundred times in a row!

I kept pumping until my eyes rolled back, my waist and back ached, and my legs cramped...

Finally succeeded!

puff!

A small statue made of unknown wood suddenly turned to ashes in Cai Ji's hands, and the long-awaited warmth appeared in his body again.

“Hahaha! This wave is worth it!”

Cai Ji found himself a little stronger and smiled like a chrysanthemum.

I only spent fifty taels of silver and got a physical enhancement. Although the effect is much worse than a rolling pin, it is still a huge profit no matter how you look at it!

What’s more, Cai Ji hasn’t taken out the two most valuable things yet!

"Honghong, bring me some cakes and tea!"

Perhaps because the fitness effect of the small wooden sculpture was not very high, Cai Ji did not feel very hungry. He simply shouted to the side room and then continued his fitness project.

Next, he ate the cakes and drank tea that Honghong brought.

Then he patiently tested the remaining objects, and after making sure that the Holy Word had not been triggered, he focused his attention on the two most expensive items.

A bronze seal and an ancient book in perfect condition!

The bronze seal looked very old and the writing on it was blurred.

The ancient book is quite complete and the handwriting is very clear, but it is not very old.

The two items together cost Cai Ji twenty taels of silver.

In fact, the seller only offered five taels at the time, but he directly gave the other party twenty taels!

It’s not to show off, but because the seller is Jia An!

Mr. Jia had a good relationship with Cai Ji. He used to take care of his business and told him stories about saints.

That story cannot be said to have completely changed Cai Ji's life, but it did play a driving role, allowing Cai Ji to determine his development direction as soon as possible.

Cai Ji originally wanted to give the old gentleman several hundred taels of silver directly, but there were many people around at the time, and he was afraid that bad people would take advantage of it. In that case, instead of repaying the favor, he would harm the old gentleman, which would be a case of good intentions leading to bad results.

In the end, he only gave twenty taels.

After picking up the two things and looking at them over and over again for a while, Cai Ji began the experiment.

"Be strong and healthy!"

He first picked up the ancient book and cast a spell on himself with full confidence.

However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment!

The ancient books that Cai Ji most valued did not play any role.

He was unwilling to give up, so he changed his hand and tried again.

"Be strong and healthy!"

Failure still occurs!

No change means no change.

"Wangcai, read more books!"

Cai Ji was so angry that he threw the ancient book directly to the dog beside him.

Feeling disappointed, he casually picked up the ancient bronze seal and without saying anything, he launched the final round of tests on himself: "Strong~body~"

Unexpectedly, the experiment, which was originally hopeless, was successful.

Cai Ji only felt a warm current surging throughout his body, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he was suddenly full of energy!

Not only that, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the bronze seal in his hand did not break!

Not only did it not break, it was still intact!
