After returning from the Changle Gang, Lu Jing first took stock of his inventory.
He found that the remaining white-eyed cicadas and fire lanterns could probably last him nine months. In other words, he had to find a way to replace falling into the mortal world within nine months.
Otherwise, he, the most powerful person in the world, would probably send it in nine months.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lu Jing took action immediately.
He first went to Gu Caiwei and took out the money he earned from selling ginseng during this period, a total of 170,000 taels. Together with the silver he had previously obtained from Zhongmiaomen's treasury, he finally made up a total of 200,000 taels.
Lu Jing walked into Duobao Pavilion's main office in the capital with such a huge sum of money, and spent it all in less than half an hour.
Although this was not the biggest business Duobao Pavilion had ever done, the shopkeeper in charge of receiving him was shocked by Lu Jing's craziness when scanning the goods and his ease when placing orders.
Lu Jing walked in empty-handed, but when he finally came out, there were two large carts of stuff behind him. The cart was completely stuffed and secured with a few hemp ropes. .
People who didn't know thought he was a purchasing agent and went to Duobao Pavilion to purchase goods.
In fact, the shopkeeper who was responsible for receiving him also had such suspicions, because Jin Duoduo had explained that the things Lu Jing came to Duobao Pavilion to buy were basically at cost price.
If he really comes here to wholesale and then resell, he can make a profit on the price difference.
But the shopkeeper gave up the idea after he thought about the things Lu Jing wanted. After sending Lu Jing away, he sighed to the shop assistants, "Look at his cultivation energy...or how young he is." He has become a first-rate master."
A young man had a different opinion and muttered in a low voice, "If I had two hundred thousand taels of silver, I... I could become a hero."
"Fart, do you really think I don't know? You spend all the money you earn on women. If I give you two hundred thousand taels, you won't use it all for cultivation."
"…………"
Here, the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion and a group of waiters were still discussing, while on the other hand, Lu Jing had already driven the cart back to the academy.
Today, Dongmen Weilan was as usual. He got up from the bed before dawn, took a few mouthfuls of the leftover cold porridge from last night, and then began to meditate and practice until sunrise.
Then he practiced the knife skills.
In the afternoon, I continued to meditate until it got dark.
Dongmen Weilan stood up again and prepared to cook porridge.
The reason why she wanted to eat porridge was not because she had no money. Although Dongmen Weilan did not have much money when she escaped from home, and it was difficult to make money in Jinghu Valley, there was still no shortage of ingredients. If you want to eat meat, you can go fishing by yourself at the river.
However, porridge is the easiest to make, so Dongmen Weilan can spend more time on cultivation.
In order to avenge her parents, relatives, friends, and all her brothers and sisters, the girl did not want to waste a moment.
But this time, when Dongmen Weilan was putting the rice into the pot, footsteps could be heard outside the thatched cottage.
Although after being rescued by the paper people in Jinghu Valley, Dongmen Weilan is no longer as withdrawn as before and ignores no one. However, she is usually either practicing or cultivating. As time goes by, no one comes to see her anymore. .
So Dongmen Weilan was a little surprised that a visitor came to visit at this time.
When she put down the pot and walked out of the kitchen, the surprise in her eyes became even stronger when she saw the people standing in the yard, "It's you? But didn't you just come to protect me the day before yesterday? I haven’t absorbed it all yet.”
"I'm not here to protect you." Lu Jing shook his head.
At this time, Dongmen Weilan also noticed the pile of things at Lu Jing's feet. The girl pointed at those things and asked, "What is this."
"Gift."
"Gift? Who is it for?" Dongmen Weilan was stunned and said subconsciously.
"It's for you."
The girl stared blankly at Lu Jing. After a moment, a blush spread on her neck. She lowered her head and said, "I can't ask for it. You have already helped me a lot and saved lives. How can I ask for your gift again?"
"No, you can do it." Lu Jing said firmly, "Don't refuse in a hurry. Take a look at what I have chosen for you."
"Ah..." The girl seemed a little at a loss when she heard this, and took half a step back, as if she wanted to retreat into the kitchen, but she felt that this was a bit impolite.
Just when she was hesitating, Lu Jing had already unpacked a bag of things, and the most conspicuous thing inside was a bed.
Dongmen Weilan's breathing became more rapid after seeing the bed. If it weren't for Lu Jing Youen and her, she would probably have poisoned her on the spot.
As a result, it wasn't over yet, she heard Lu Jing continue, "Go up."
"I...I..." Dongmen Weilan's chest rose and fell, and he wanted to say, "I didn't expect you to be such a person." However, after he got up, he couldn't say the next words several times, and finally just held back. The word "no" came out.
It's just that "I don't!" doesn't sound intimidating, but it sounds a bit like flirting.
Dongmen Weilan regretted it after saying this.
Fortunately, Lu Jing continued, "Try this cold jade bed and see if it can help you practice."
"Is this a cold jade bed?"
When the girl first saw that it was a bed, she didn't have the nerve to take a closer look. Now after hearing what Lu Jing said, she quickly put away the messy thoughts in her head and walked over.
As a result, before sitting on it, she felt a chill. Then she reached out to touch the bed and said happily, "You can't be wrong, this is really a cold jade bed."
There was also a cold jade bed in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley for the disciples in the valley to practice.
You will feel the chill when lying on the cold jade bed, and you need to mobilize your whole body's energy to resist it. Over time, it will become a natural habit, and your true energy will also circulate by itself when you sleep, which is equivalent to a few extra hours of practice time.
Although it is only useful for warriors who have not reached the first-class level, it is still very popular in the martial arts world.
It's just that the cheapest cold jade bed costs eighty or ninety thousand taels of silver, which is definitely not within the reach of ordinary small sects.
After the destruction of Ten Thousand Poison Valley, Dongmen Weilan never saw the cold jade bed again, and she never thought that one day she would be able to own one.
"Where did this cold jade bed come from?"
"Oh, I bought it at Duobao Pavilion."
"Although this bed is not as big as the original one in my house, it must cost more than one hundred thousand taels of silver anyway." The girl guessed.
"It's not that expensive. The boss of Duobao Pavilion, Jin Duoduo, has a good relationship with me. Duobao Pavilion only sold me this bed for 60,000 taels of silver."
"Sixty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. This gift is too valuable." Dongmen Weilan was a little frightened.
Logically speaking, she should reject such an expensive gift directly, but now she really needs this cold jade bed.
With this bed, she can become a first-class master sooner.
