Monster, come to my bowl

After seeing off the master and his wife, Cai Ji continued with his previous thoughts.

Correct!

Enter the city!

Just go into the city!

He is going into the city to collect junk!

After a tour of Nanshan Town, I received two pieces of spellcasting equipment for only fifty taels of silver.

There is no reason why Qinghe City, whose population is dozens of times larger, cannot be conquered.

However, it is not that easy to go into the city to collect scrap.

First of all, you need someone to protect you when entering the city.

Although Nanshan Town is less than a hundred miles away from Qinghe City, the road is not safe.

Without anyone to protect him, Cai Ji didn't dare to go alone.

Of course, this is not difficult to solve.

Whether it is finding an opportunity to hitch a ride with Xue Yi, or directly asking the guards of the Xue Mansion to escort him, it can be done.

Secondly, after entering the city, you need a place to stay.

You have to find a place to pile up the things you receive.

When testing whether something is usable, you have to do it away from anyone’s eyes.

This requires renting a house.

Of course, this is not a big problem.

As long as you have money, you can definitely find a suitable place.

The most troublesome thing is to find a place to eat after entering the city!

Cai Ji could eat and drink as much as he wanted in the wealthy Xue Mansion, but after entering the city, no one would support him like that.

Even though Xue Yi was the second in command of Qinghe City, he was not so generous as to allow him to eat for free.

If you want to continue using Holy Words to strengthen your body, you have to eat and drink a lot!

If you eat and drink a lot, you have to spend money!

And it costs a lot of money!

Cai Ji had 23,000 taels of silver from selling the Holy Words, and was definitely a wealthy man.

But he didn't want to spend the money on going to restaurants.

He has owned a restaurant before and knows how high the premium on restaurant food is.

It's okay to go there occasionally for a bite to eat.

But even if you treat a restaurant as a dining hall, you cannot afford to eat there even if you are very rich.

"Eat...eat..."

After thinking for a long time, Cai Ji suddenly slapped his thigh and thought of a good idea: "Why don't I open a restaurant in the city! Hire a few cooks and helpers to cook for me. I can save a lot of money by purchasing the ingredients myself, and I can make some money by opening the restaurant. At the same time, I can solve the housing problem! Perfect! Don't be too perfect!"

As a practical man, Cai Ji prepared to talk about this matter with Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue on the spot.

But as soon as he stood up, he sat back down.

Ah!

The timing is wrong.

The two elders are now in a period of grief, and it would be too abrupt for me to suddenly propose to leave.

It would be better to wait for Xue Yi to come back and discuss it with her first.

Who knows, what you think will come true.

As soon as I thought of the eldest lady, she appeared.

It turned out that she had received a notice from the servants of the Xue Mansion and learned that her second brother's grave had been robbed, so she rushed back immediately.

But when I got home, I heard something unbelievable from my parents.

My own brother actually faked his death!

Not only did he fake a dead body, he also went home to look for something!

In the end, he didn't find the thing, and after being persuaded by Cai Ji's words, he went back to lie down in the grave!

"Cai Ji! What did you do to my second brother?" Xue Yi asked angrily as soon as he entered the room.

"What are you yelling about?" Cai Ji rolled his eyes at her and asked angrily, "Didn't your parents tell you what happened?"

The young lady was speechless on the spot.

She had just come from her parents' place, so she naturally knew what had happened.

After a moment of awkwardness, Xue Yi took the initiative to change the subject: "What did you tell my parents?"

"I told them that the second young master was bewitched by a big demon..." Cai Ji did not hide anything and immediately confessed his lie.

We are all smart people and have basically the same ideas on many things.

Xue Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "You did the right thing! When they told me about this just now, I guessed that you lied and didn't deny it."

"Hey, it seems like we have a good understanding!" Cai Ji heard this and said, "By the way, I want to open a restaurant in Qinghe City. Can you help me find the most suitable location for it?"

"Why did you open a restaurant?" Xue Yi got anxious when he heard this, staring at him and said, "You just cheated me out of more than 20,000 taels, and you don't need money!"

"What do you mean by cheating? This is a fair transaction between us both. Besides, are the few holy words I taught you only worth 23,000 taels?" Cai Ji retorted bluntly.

"This..." Xue Yi was speechless on the spot.

Cai Ji was right, the holy words are priceless.

Even if it's just three simple sentences, it will be enough for her to benefit for a lifetime.

"Stop talking about this and that! Take me with you when you return to the city. I will go to Qinghe City with you." Cai Ji urged.

"No!" Xue Yi started to act like a spoiled brat.

The bald man in front of her is a treasure that can help her reach heaven.

How can I let a tiger go back to the mountain with my own hands...

No, let him go out and have fun!

If she never comes back, she will suffer the consequences!

"Alas, how can you be so short-sighted?" Cai Ji knew he would be rejected, so he continued to deceive: "Even if you keep me, you can't keep my heart! If you can't keep my heart, you won't get more holy words! Bigger picture, I'll open a restaurant in Qinghe City, which is closer to where you work! Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to come to me?"

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Xue Yi frowned and thought about it.

After thinking for a whole cup of tea, she reluctantly warned: "Open it if you want! But I still say that, don't reveal the secret of the Holy Word, otherwise it will attract people with ulterior motives, and no one can protect you."

"Do I need you to tell me that?" Cai Ji smiled happily, and said, "If I wasn't embarrassed to eat and drink for free at your house, I wouldn't even tell you!"

After that, he changed the subject directly and said, "Have you tried the two holy words I taught you? How effective are they?"

He was referring to 'Don't Move' and 'Immune to All Poisons'.

"I've tried it!" Xue Yi nodded and replied, "For the phrase 'Don't move', I found different subjects to test it and found that the higher the subject's cultivation, the shorter the duration and the greater the self-consumption. For the phrase 'Immune to all poisons', I have only tried some poisons that I could find. It does work, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy each time it is used."

The eldest daughter is an honest person and does not hide anything.

She had sworn at the beginning that both parties would share information about the Holy Word, and now she was keeping her word.

Cai Ji's answer to her was not surprising. The effect and cost of the Holy Word would indeed vary depending on the target.

He stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "What weapon did you try it with?"

"Of course it's the holy sword." Xue Yi answered casually.

"You tried it many times, but it didn't break?" Cai Ji was curious.

"Of course it's not broken!" Xue Yi replied, and suddenly said with a proud look on his face: "Why? Are you tempted? One hundred thousand taels! One hand for the money and one hand for the goods!"

"Forget it! I don't want to be a leek!" Cai Ji curled his lips and pretended to be disgusted.

Although he looked disgusted on the surface, he was actually extremely envious in his heart.

If it is true as Xue Yi said, that crowbar can be used to cast spells repeatedly without breaking, then its value to him is immeasurable.

If nothing else, just doing some body-building exercises twice a day is enough to make you happy!

Even though you can only do push-ups now, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes!

Cai Ji firmly believes that as long as he continues to strengthen his body, it won’t take long before he can turn himself into a tough guy!

Even if 'Strong and Healthy' has an upper limit, he can still change to other holy words.

As strong as an ox, with bones of steel, hard as a rock, indestructible, and a pillar that supports the sky...

Too much!

You can even try the holy words related to the five elements of spiritual power.

What about cleansing the tendons and marrow, being surrounded by aura, being protected by spiritual energy, being possessed by Laojun...

As long as there is enough food, everything is fine!
