Chapter 190: Benefiting a lot
For the next ten days, Lu Cheng wandered around Zhou's house every day. [Ran^Text^Library] Wang Qi followed Lu Cheng and felt very strange. Everyone else is looking at the beautiful scenery of the Zhou family, but Lu Cheng is good, as if he is sleepwalking, take a look here, walk there. Moreover, Lu Cheng would go out for a stroll for an hour at most, and then he would return to the courtyard to cultivate.
How did Wang Qi know that Lu Cheng was looking for ancient jade everywhere in the Zhou family, or everything with aura. There are really a lot of good things in the Zhou family, such as jade jue, jade owl, jade eagle, jade dragon, jade gouyun and other ancient jade, each of which has benefited Lu Cheng a lot. Lu Cheng didn't know how long he would have, so he concentrated and didn't dare to delay for a moment. Such an opportunity is very rare, and if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
And Wu Ruyan learned that Lu Cheng stayed at home, only walked around Zhou's house every day, and then went back to the dark room to practice, and she was also very happy. What does this mean? Lu Cheng has a sense of belonging to the Zhou family. She now hoped that the guards who had been inquiring about the news in the Cangji Forest would come back later. As long as another month or two passes, needless to say, Lu Cheng is afraid that he will take the initiative to ask to serve the Zhou family.
However, within three days, Lu Cheng proposed to Wang Qi that he wanted to take a look outside. This caught Wang Qi off guard, Lu Cheng seemed to have changed all of a sudden, refreshed, especially his eyes, like a deep pool, particularly profound.
All the ancient jade spiritual power of the Zhou family was completely absorbed by Lu Cheng, and he naturally had no interest in staying here anymore. During this time in the Zhou family, the induction force was in high spirits every day, and even when he took Lu Cheng to run the mental method, the speed was also much higher than before. Most importantly. He has been promoted from the middle of the eighth layer of internal strength to the late stage of the eighth layer of internal strength!
The promotion of internal strength made Lu Cheng very excited. But he also knows. Suddenly, the expansion of the meridians is also detrimental to the meridians. Therefore, during this time, his task was to consolidate the meridians, after all, it took less than four months to be promoted to two levels in a row.
"Master Lu, let me report to the second lady. Wang Qifei also ran to Wu Ruyan's yard. Wu Ruyan had told him before that if Lu Cheng wanted to leave the house. Try to discourage it. But now that Lu Cheng has been in the Zhou family for almost half a month, it is natural for them to go out in advance to see Dinghe City. He couldn't find any reason at all.
Lu Cheng waited for a while, and Wu Ruyan personally went to the courtyard where he lived. As soon as Wu Ruyan saw Lu Cheng, she asked with a smile: "Lu Cheng, do you have the habit of living in the Zhou family?"
"It's okay, for me, anywhere can be survived. The longer I stayed in a comfortable place, the more I was worried that I would become addicted to it. Lu Cheng said that living in a privileged place for a long time will make people inert.
Every day, dogs and horses. Can he still calm down and cultivate? If his parents are both present and there is such an environment, he will indeed be very satisfied. But now. The only thing he could do was to improve his cultivation and not become someone else's food.
"It's about perseverance, and I'm sure you can be diligent and pendetic in any environment. You're so young now, and you're working so hard. Presumably, something will be done in the future. Wu Ruyan said with a smile.
"Thank you Second Lady for the compliment. Lu Cheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I don't know if you intend to stay in our Zhou family? You also know that our Zhou family has many guests. It's usually nothing, as long as you can help the Zhou family at a critical moment. Wu Ruyan said.
"Keqing is a diner, right?" Lu Cheng looked at Wu Ruyan and asked calmly.
"Almost, if you are willing to stay, our Zhou family is willing to give an ordinary Yun Dan to help you cultivate. Wu Ruyan said.
"Ordinary Yundan?" Lu Cheng said in surprise, such a good thing, the Zhou family actually has it?
"Of course, our Zhou family still has one last grain, and this opportunity is rare. Wu Ruyan said that her meaning is obvious, if you don't cherish it, you may be cheaper than others. Moreover, the Zhou family does have a second-level guard now, if he can make meritorious contributions to the Zhou family, he may be able to get this Earth Cloud Pill.
"I'll think about it. Lu Cheng said quietly. Although Diyun Dan is good, if he wants to be imprisoned here for the rest of his life, it will not be possible no matter what.
"You go out with Lu Cheng, remember, you can't let people know his identity, especially the Qian family. If anyone asks, say it's a guest I've invited. Wu Ruyan saw that Lu Cheng didn't agree immediately, and she didn't suspect it, after all, this is a big deal, and everyone will seriously consider it. She pulled Wang Qi out of the courtyard and said carefully.
Lu Cheng was confused, the first time he came to Dinghe City, and he didn't do anything earth-shattering, what did he do to the Qian family? These days, Lu Cheng only paid attention to Gu Yu and cultivation, and ignored the affairs of the Zhou family, so naturally he didn't notice it, because of the Wind Flame Fox, he had already attracted the strong attention of the Qian family.
As soon as Lu Cheng and Wang Qi left the house, they were immediately noticed. Lu Cheng was even more strange now, he walked through the side door with Wang Qi. Of course, Wang Qi didn't notice it, and Lu Cheng didn't care. He is now a martial artist in the late stage of the eighth layer of internal strength, and if anyone wants to plot against himself, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.
"Wang Qi, what are the delicious and fun things in Dinghe City?" Lu Cheng asked casually, the streets of Dinghe City are very spacious, with many shops on both sides and prosperous commerce.
"There are many delicious things in Dinghe City, there are cotton cakes, jumping candy, sugar gourds, fried melon seeds, and countless of them. As for the fun, you can listen to the drama at the front door, there is a casino in the back street, and there is a ...... in the flower street , hee-hee. Wang Qi said with a smile, Flower Street is the favorite place for men in Dinghe City, where all the streets are flower buildings, but Lu Cheng is not very old, so he is not easy to talk about.
"What you said seems to be all snacks, let's go, go to the Pingtai Building in front. Lu Cheng noticed that the scale of the Pingtai Building in front was very large, especially the three words of the Pingtai Building, and when I saw it from a distance, I knew that it was written by everyone.
"Lu Gongzi, the consumption in Pingtai Building is not low, and you will get a few taels of silver for a casual meal. Wang Qi said that it was a place where only high-ranking officials and nobles could go, and he was just a member of the Zhou family, with five taels of silver a month, and a meal in it might not be enough.
"High consumption means that people's dishes are fried well, lead the way in front, and I will invite you to have a good meal today." Lu Cheng said that he doesn't have other people's hobbies now, except for cultivation, he just lets himself eat better. Moreover, he is now an acquired martial artist, and the energy needed for internal strength, in addition to breathing, is mainly provided by food. Therefore, meat has always been Lu Cheng's best.
"Okay, Master Lu, please. As soon as Wang Qi heard that he could go to Pingtai Building to eat for free, he immediately "upgraded" Lu Cheng and changed from Lu Gongzi to Lu Ye.
"Yo, isn't this Wang Qi, what's the matter, come to Pingtai Building to find someone?" Wang Qi had just walked into the second floor of Pingtai Building, and immediately heard someone sneering.
"I'm here to eat. Wang Qi glanced at the man, in his thirties, with triangular eyes, wearing a guard suit, it was Hu Jingkang, the second-level guard of the Zhou family, a martial artist at the peak of the seventh layer of internal strength.
The guards of the Zhou family are divided into three levels, the first-level guards are martial artists of the eighth layer of internal strength, and if the martial arts are skillful, they can be reduced to the peak of the seventh layer of internal strength. The second-level guards are the martial artists of the sixth and seventh layers of internal strength, while the third-level guards are the martial artists below the sixth layer.
Because Hu Jingkang is good at using a hidden weapon of the Qiankun Circle, he is expected to be promoted to a first-class guard. There are not many first-level guards of the Zhou family, after all, there are very few eighth-level martial artists who are willing to be guards for others. But once he becomes a first-class guard, the treatment is almost the same as that of the guest secretary.
Originally, Hu Jingkang was going to be promoted to a first-class guard this time, but because of Lu Cheng's sudden arrival, the courtyard was occupied by Lu Cheng, and his promotion was naturally suspended. Moreover, once Lu Cheng agrees to stay in the Zhou family, Hu Jingkang's first-level protection road may be even more distant.
"Can you afford to eat here?" Hu Jingkang said with a sneer, the Zhou family's treatment of guards is relatively high, the first-level guards have a hundred taels of silver per month, the second-level guards have fifty taels per month, and the third-level guards have twenty taels per month. But even so, he, a second-level guard, can only come to fight the tooth sacrifice occasionally every month.
Of course, the salary is high, the requirements are also high, and the biggest requirement is loyalty. Once you enter the Zhou family, you can't leave unless you die, or the Zhou family thinks that you are not qualified to serve as a guard. Of course, if you can be promoted to the ninth layer of internal strength, the Zhou family will immediately make you a guest secretary.
"Wang Qi, why don't you leave?" Lu Cheng followed behind, and when he saw Wang Qi grinding with others, his brows frowned. He's here to eat, not to quarrel.
"Are you Lu Cheng?" Hu Jingkang saw Lu Cheng, suddenly crossed in front of him, looked at him condescendingly, and said with a sneer.
"Do you know me?" Lu Cheng felt that he was too obsessed with Gu Yu during this time, and he was already very familiar with the environment of the Zhou family, but the people of the Zhou family didn't know him very well.
"Hu Guard, Master Lu was invited back by the second lady. Wang Qi saw that this was not good, Wu Ruyan only told people not to know Lu Cheng's identity, but he didn't expect to meet Hu Tianxing. He naturally knew why Hu Jingkang was unreasonable, a good first-class guard, because of Lu Cheng's arrival, he was stranded indefinitely, and no one would be happy if he was replaced.
"I didn't embarrass him, since we are the guests of the second lady, how about having a drink together?" Hu Jingkang said with bad intentions in his hands on his chest.
"I'm sorry, I don't eat with people I don't know. Lu Cheng shook his head slightly, and walked past Hu Jingkang on the side of his body.
Hu Jingkang originally wanted to stop him, but Lu Cheng's body was too fast, and as soon as he was dazzled, Lu Cheng bypassed him. He was horrified in his heart, how could this be possible? He was the peak of the seventh layer of internal strength, and the other party was only in the early stage of the seventh layer of internal strength. Did he practice a special body technique, or was he dazzled because he drank too much wine?
But no matter what, Lu Cheng bypassed him, and Hu Jingkang naturally didn't want to go to Lu Cheng's trouble again, but he looked at Lu Cheng's back, full of resentment.
