I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

405 The Cost of Maintaining It Is Too High (2)

“I know…Thank you, Brother Bear. I’ll go clean up now.””After saying that, Spring Ya jogged all the way back to the courtyard.

When Chun Ya ran far away, Bear Eight couldn’t help but look back in the direction of the garden.

He was curious too. After all, his boss had been going to the garden every day for three months. But as far as he knew, there should be nothing in the garden except flowers.

But soon, Bear Eight shook his head.

‘What are you thinking about? Is the boss’s matter something you can interfere in?’

After lecturing himself, Bear Eight went back to chopping firewood.

Walking along the streets of Jinyao Town, Jiang Beiran looked at the increasingly clean streets around him and smiled happily.

Three months was neither a short nor a long time, but for Lulin County, which had implemented the new policies, it was a different day.

The large influx of people did not cause any chaos. Under the dispatch of local officials, all the disaster victims and refugees were assigned to the posts that needed them in an orderly manner.

All the counties in Lulin County were full of vitality. Although every household could eat their fill, it was rare for them to starve three times after eating one full meal.

I bought the yellow rice cake, Jiang BeiRan ate and thought about the next step.

Now that the self-protection barrier had been built, Jiang Beiran had also moved his headquarters here.

It was only after he had built the self-protection barrier that Jiang Beiran realized its magical and troublesome side.

First of all, the magical thing about it was that it could actually nurture its own Spiritual Qi, just like a blessed land. The density of the Spiritual Qi it nurtured far exceeded that of the outside world, which was naturally great news for Jiang Beiran.

Whether it was raising little cuties, spirit herbs, spirit stones, or spirit wood, or creating high-grade medicinal pills, magic treasures, or talismans, the rich spiritual qi could be of great help.

However, the relatively troublesome thing was that the self-barrier consumed a lot of energy.

To maintain the self-protection barrier, he would need to consume a large number of Spiritual Stones every day. As the Spiritual Qi generated by the self-protection barrier grew thicker, Jiang Beiran realized that the low-grade Spiritual Stones could no longer satisfy it, and he had to use middle-grade Spiritual Stones.

For the Sheng Country, where high-tier spirit stones were considered treasures, middle-tier spirit stones could be said to be hard currency among cultivators above the mystic spirit realm. It was not easy to obtain them.

Although Jiang Beiran’s family was quite wealthy now, the self-protection barrier was also growing at a relatively fast pace. If this continued, he would not be able to afford it sooner or later.

‘First of all, I have to think of a way to get more middle-grade spirit stones. Also… If he had the chance, he could ask Sect Leader Yan for advice.”

Tomorrow was the day of Jiang Bei’s appointment with the Xuan Venerable of Xing Country. She had to return to the palace with Li Fucheng to see him.

“I have to make a trip back to the sect…”

Other than reporting the situation to the sect leader, Jiang Beiran also had to find out from Zhu Baishan how the various policies were being implemented and whether there were any sect leaders who were dragging him down.

Just as Jiang Beiran was munching on his biscuit and thinking about his plan, Gu Qinghuan’s voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Turning around, Jiang Beiran nodded.”

“According to Shixiong’s instructions, we’ve already cast the net.”Gu Qinghuan took out a Qian Kun ring and handed it to her senior brother with both hands.””In addition, these are the spirit stones obtained from this transaction. There are a total of 142 low-grade spirit stones and 12 middle-grade spirit stones.”

With the rich spiritual energy in his barrier and the fact that Wu Qingce and the others had advanced in their cultivation, Jiang Beiran could ask them to help him with more and more businesses.

However, no matter how many low-grade spirit stones he earned, it would not be able to satisfy his current needs.

Jiang Beiran took the Cosmos Ring that contained the Spiritual Stones and pondered for a moment before saying,””If I give you a batch of better pills and spirit weapons, do you have the confidence to sell them at a high price?”

Without hesitation, Gu Qinghuan immediately cupped his hands and said,””Qing Huan will not disappoint Senior Brother.”

“Very good.” Jiang Beiran took out four Cosmos Rings and tossed them to Gu Qinghuan.””Sell everything inside. You can set the price yourself.”

“Yes, I am. Please rest assured, Senior Brother!”

“Okay, then you should do it immediately.”

“Yes, sir!” Gu Qinghuan bowed and turned to leave.

‘Although Qing Huan should be able to deal with this batch of goods properly, I’m afraid the middle-grade spirit stones I earn won’t be enough to feed the barrier. I have to think of other ways.’

Jiang Beiran took out a cloud roller and blew out a cloud. He sat on it and flew toward the palace.

Arriving at the Imperial Palace, Jiang Beiran first surveyed the skies and made sure that everything was normal before he slowly landed in front of the Jingxin Palace.

“Emperor ~~~”

As soon as he got off the clouds, Jiang Beiran saw Kong Qianqian dashing toward him.

“Stop.” Jiang Beiran spoke up when he saw Kong Qianqian’s expression as if she was about to pounce on him.

Kong Qianqian, who was running wildly, immediately braked and stopped in front of Jiang Beiran.””Emperor, I saw a cloud floating down from afar and knew it was you!”

“Are you very free? If you have nothing to do, count the clouds and play.”

“This servant is looking forward to Your Majesty’s return. You’ve been gone for a long time.”

“I have some things to do.” As Jiang Beiran spoke, he walked towards the study.” How has the palace been recently?”

“To be honest…Not good, if the emperor doesn’t come, everyone will be listless, especially senior sister, and of course me.”

Jiang Beiran laughed after hearing that and said,””Without zhen in the palace, no one would punish you when you secretly ate.”

Hearing the Emperor’s gentle tone, Kong Qianqian immediately replied with a silly smile,”Without the emperor’s punishment, eating secretly wouldn’t be so fragrant.”

Jiang Beiran’s expression immediately turned serious when he heard that. He glared at Kong Qianqian and said,””So you mean that you knew you would be punished, but you still dared to eat secretly? Do you know what crime this is?”

Kong Qianqian saw Jiang Beiran’s expression change so quickly that she quickly knelt on the ground and said,””Emperor, spare my life. This servant knows that I was wrong.”

“Take the board yourself. Eighty.”

Kong Qianqian carefully raised her head and said,”Can you go and collect it later? Your Majesty, you just came back, so let this servant serve you for a while.”

“A hundred.”

“This servant will go now, will go now.” After saying that, Kong Qianqian rushed out of the Tranquil Heart Palace Hall.
