Monster, come to my bowl

For the next two days, Cai Ji stayed at home.

In order to achieve self-production and self-sales as soon as possible, he devoted himself to cultivation.

Unfortunately, due to his average talent, the results were minimal.

After two days of hard work, I felt that there was a trace of spiritual power in my body, but the amount was pitifully small.

"This won't work. I need to ask Xue Yi for an advanced cultivation technique!"

Cai Ji found that he was getting half the result with twice the effort, so he changed his strategy.

Early in the morning on the third day, he ate a quick breakfast and prepared to go to the Demon Suppression Bureau to find Xue Yi.

Unexpectedly, before he set off, the eldest lady came to the door herself.

Not only did he come to the door, but he also brought bad news!

"My master is calling me back to Tongtian City!" Xue Yi said as soon as he entered the door.

"Just go, it's not like you haven't been there before." Cai Ji did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

"My training in Qinghe City ended early. After I went to Tongtian City, I would not come back unless I went home to visit my relatives." Xue Yi sat down, picked up the teapot to pour himself some tea, and continued, "My replacement has arrived. He is a fifth-rank captain named Mei Sangui. Captain Mei brought three sixth-rank centurions and three hundred-man teams of demon-suppressing guards."

When Cai Ji heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.

The information is so shocking that I can’t quite wrap my head around it.

First of all, Xue Yi is going to Tongtian City, and he won’t come back!

Doesn’t that mean that his biggest backer is gone?

Without a backer, how would he survive in Qinghe City?

Secondly, the person who came to replace Xue Yi was actually a fifth-rank demon-suppressing guard!

Moreover, the other party also brought three hundred-man teams of demon-suppressing guards!

Doesn't that mean that not only will Qinghe City's defense power increase several times in an instant, but the person in charge will also change?

The city lord Yao Tong is only of the sixth rank, but the newcomer Mei Sangui is a fifth rank captain!

"Why?"

If you don’t understand, just ask, Cai Ji scratched his bald head and started talking.

"what why?"

Xue Yi rolled his eyes at him, expressing dissatisfaction with his reaction.

"Why is the person who succeeded you a fifth-rank town captain, and why did he bring so many demon-suppressing guards? The mayor of Qinghe City is only a sixth-rank one." Cai Ji asked curiously.

"Humph!" Xue Yi was even more dissatisfied when he saw that he didn't care about her going to Tongtian City and asked about other things instead: "How should I know! You can go ask him yourself!"

"Ah? This..." Cai Ji finally reacted and asked quickly, "By the way, do you want to take me to Tongtian City?"

"No!" Xue Yi denied decisively, and said solemnly: "Tongtian City has many people and many experts! If you study the Holy Word Technique there, it won't take long for you to be exposed."

"So what do you think?" Cai Ji took the initiative to ask.

"You continue to stay in Qinghe City, and I will find an excuse to come back every once in a while! When the time comes, you teach me the useful holy words that you have sorted out, and I will bring you the necessary elixirs and weapons." Xue Yi told his plan.

"That's a good idea! Going to Tongtian City is really not a good idea." Cai Ji agreed deeply, touched his chin and thought for a while, then said decisively and shamelessly: "How about this, I will teach you two useful holy words now, and you give me a whole advanced cultivation secret book."

"What secret book?" Xue Yi was a little curious.

"The secret book of cultivating spiritual power..." Cai Ji said his purpose, and suddenly felt that something was missing, and immediately added: "Well, if there is a martial arts secret book, I will not refuse it."

"Can you practice?" Xue Yi expressed doubt.

"I couldn't do it before, but recently I used the Holy Word to strengthen my body, and now I feel like I can do it again." Cai Ji said, and showed off his biceps.

puff!

Xue Yi was amused by his words and actions.

She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then ordered decisively: "Bring pen and ink!"

"What for?" Cai Ji asked puzzledly.

"I'm writing a secret manual for you!" Xue Yi glanced at him sideways and said proudly, "Don't you think you can do it again? I'll write down for you a high-level mental method that my master taught me, and see what you can do with it."

The advanced mental method given by Feng Siming?

So dignified?

Cai Ji was so excited that he quickly stood up and took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bookshelf.

Without waiting for Xue Yi's instructions, he began to grind the ink himself.

Squeak!

Squeak!

Polished with full sincerity.

"You're quite good at it." Xue Yi curled his lips in satisfaction, picked up the brush and started writing.

Swish swish!

In less than a moment, a secret formula appeared in front of him.

"Okay, figure it out yourself! It only took me half a month to understand the mystery. Let's see how long it will take you." Xue Yi threw the pen and instructed: "After you memorize it, destroy it! Don't let it spread outside."

"Don't worry! I will memorize it tonight, and this piece of paper will be gone tomorrow!" Cai Ji excitedly put away his mental skills, picked up the brush and said, "Now it's my turn. I will teach you two holy words! The first one is 'Stirring garlic under your feet'!"

"What do you mean?" Xue Yi looked excited.

"It means that you tripped over yourself!" Cai Ji replied.

"Are you kidding me? Why should I learn this?" Xue Yi complained with a frown.

"No, no, no! I'm definitely not kidding you!" Cai Ji shook his head and said seriously, "This is the holy words I summarized from my experience and tailored for you! This holy word may seem boring, but it is actually very useful in battle! The most important thing is that it consumes very little spiritual power... Think about it, when you are fighting a monster, you keep using the holy words to make the opponent trip over themselves. Isn't the effect similar to 'Don't Move'? However, the consumption of 'Don't Move' is very high, while this one consumes very little. In a long battle, it can help you save a lot of spiritual power! This is crucial!"

After listening to his explanation, Xue Yi felt that it made a lot of sense.

She nodded and asked directly: "Okay! This counts as one sentence! What about the second sentence?"

"The second one is the healing technique you've always wanted! However, I won't teach you the one I used to heal Wangcai's fracture! You're super resistant now, so you can hardly use it yourself. And that holy word consumes a lot of energy. If you use it on others, even you won't be able to withstand it a few times. What I want to teach you is 'Get well soon'. Although the effect is a little worse, it consumes less energy..."

Cai Ji replied with a smile.

……

Time flies by.

The next day, Xue Yi set out for Tongtian City.

Cai Ji didn't go to see him off.

The two of them chatted until midnight the night before, and it would seem pretentious to send him off later.

He spent his time studying advanced mental techniques.

As a liberal arts student, it is not difficult to memorize a piece of less than 100 words.

The difficulty lies in that the fewer words there are, the more abstract it is!

The next few days.

Cai Ji almost scratched out all his remaining hair as he read on and became more and more confused.

"No wonder Xue Yi gave it to me so readily. She was bullying me because I couldn't understand it at all!"

He refused to admit that he was stupid and started to blame others.

……

"Boss! Boss! Zhang Baichang and his men are here to visit!"

That evening, the shopkeeper Liu Xi hurried to Cai Ji to report.

The inn changed its owner a few days ago.

Liu Xi now becomes an employee under Cai Ji.

"Who?" Cai Ji asked casually.

"The new captain is Zhang Kuang." Liu Xi replied.

"A new captain?" Cai Ji asked curiously, "What do you want from me?"

"I don't know. He said he has something good to discuss with you." Liu Xi replied.

good thing?

I don’t even know him, so what good can come of that?

Cai Ji muttered to himself and ordered: "Please ask him to come over..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, the door was suddenly pushed open with great force.

Cai Ji looked up and found that a demon-suppressing guard with a silver thread embroidered on his collar rushed in arrogantly with two of his men.

The embroidery on the collar is a symbol of the rank of the Demon-Suppressing Guard.

Levels 9, 8, and 7 use copper wire, levels 6, 5, and 4 use silver wire, and levels 3, 2, and 1 use gold wire.

The demon-suppressing guard embroidered with a silver thread should be Zhang Baichang, a sixth-rank official.

"Get out!" Zhang Kuang led his men into the room, ignoring Cai Ji, and yelled at Liu Xi with a crooked nose and squinting eyes: "You are so hesitant even after reporting something, what a joke!"
