The King of Shu hasn't left yet?
Chen Ke took the invitation and suddenly realized something.
At the beginning, he used the two million taels of silver he won from the monthly exam to build an academy and set up a Young Eagle Foundation, so that the orphans of the fallen soldiers would have the opportunity to study in the Haotian Academy.
In just one month, the foundation has not only been established, but has also enrolled the first batch of 18 children of martyrs.
For this purpose, the King of Shu specially organized a dinner, and Chen Ke, the instigator, was also invited.
Closing the invitation, Chen Ke said to the warrior, "Tell His Highness that I will not be late tonight."
The warrior who delivered the letter received a definite reply, clasped his hands together, and said goodbye.
He called a carriage at the foot of Meishan Mountain and drove towards Chen Ke's house.
The whole city was bustling with roads and houses being built everywhere.
On the day when the insect swarm broke out, many roads and buildings were damaged by the giant insects. Coupled with the chaos caused by the demon spies in the city, some places were even razed to the ground.
However, whether they are building roads or houses, the people of Meicheng are in a very good mood.
The army of monsters was repelled, and those practitioners were hunting down monsters and demon soldiers all over the world.
Finally, they no longer had to worry and were just waiting for the subsidies from the court to be distributed to them.
After returning to the Chen Mansion, Chen Ke looked around but couldn't find the housekeeper Chen Xiaofu, so he had to go back to the courtyard first.
The three little followers also went out, and there were only a few servants sweeping and watering the yard.
Chen Ke returned to the room, locked the doors and windows, took out all the treasures he had obtained, and placed them all on the bed.
Long sword, training equipment, elixir, and spirit stone.
The most precious thing is the leaves in his stomach, and the second most precious thing is the chrysanthemum ring modified for him by Senior Cobra, which can both devour souls and store items.
As for the others, Chen Ke selected the elixirs needed for the Pulse Refining Realm, and then also selected the elixirs below the Pulse Refining Realm.
Pills below the Meridian Refining Realm are of little use to him, so it would be better to give them to Tie Niu.
Tie Niu has innate skills, but he lacks the guidance of a famous teacher, and the Chen family cannot provide him with good training resources, which has led to delays.
Now that conditions permit, Chen Ke will certainly not treat Tie Niu unfairly.
Once Tie Niu's innate skills are activated, his strength will definitely increase greatly. I'm really looking forward to it.
After finishing the sorting, Chen Ke put the remaining items into the ring. He then took the cash box from the bedside and put all the large banknotes into the ring.
In addition, there was his stealth suit and a leather backpack that he had sewn himself, in which all the materials he had collected during the trial were packed.
Just as he was packing up, he heard chattering sounds outside the room. The three little followers came back.
"It was a close call! Luckily we went there early, otherwise we wouldn't be able to save these feathers!"
"Lichun, when we get to the capital, there will be many skilled jewelers there. The jewelry they make with feathers will be even more beautiful!"
"Tie Niu, you're still wearing leather armor in such hot weather. Aren't you afraid of getting prickly heat?"
"I want to protect you. What if a monster jumps out and takes you away?"
"Tsk, you're just showing off your leather armor, what a nice thing to say!"
"I'm not showing off. I need to get used to this leather armor. If we run into trouble on the way to the capital, I still have to protect the young master!"
"The young master has entered the secret realm of the academy to practice. He is much more powerful than you. Does he still need your protection?"
With a creak, the door opened and Chen Ke saw Tie Niu's red and embarrassed face.
"Tie Niu, come in for a moment." Chen Ke walked into the room again.
Sitting at the desk, he finished copying the "Guixu Zhenjing" and handed it to Tie Niu after the ink dried.
"Tie Niu, this is a mysterious martial art for cultivating the soul, the 'Return to Void Sutra'. Go down and practice it well!"
Tie Niu was dumbfounded. Xuan, Xuan-level martial arts?!
His breathing became heavy, and he stared at the manuscript in the young master's hand, but did not dare to take it.
Chen Ke simply found a box, put the secret book in it, and then put bottles of pills in it.
"Blood-replenishing pill, Qi-condensing pill, bone-refining pill, well, with your current level, you can use these three kinds of pills for the time being." Chen Ke took the box and handed it directly to Tie Niu.
Tie Niu's eyes turned red, and he puffed out his cheeks as he shouted, "Master, I won't let you down!"
After saying that, he wiped his tears with his shoulder and ran out with the box.
How could he not know that these pills came from the Ziyun Sword Sect, the largest sect in Shuzhou, and were obtained by the young master in exchange for the bones of the demon soldiers. Their value was far beyond what money could measure.
As for the "Guixu Zhenjing", it is extremely precious. I am afraid that ordinary disciples of the cultivation sects are not qualified to practice it.
Tie Niu ran all the way back to his room, and with tears in his eyes, he secretly vowed to practice hard and not let the young master down.
What kind of young master would be so kind to a servant? Would he share such a precious thing with a servant?
If anyone dares to say bad things about the young master again, I will beat him to death!
At night, Tie Niu prepared the carriage early in the morning. After the young master got on the carriage, he drove the carriage towards the city lord's mansion.
In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the lights were bright, and the huge square was filled with various gorgeous carriages.
Who dares not to come when His Royal Highness the King of Shu casts the great summoning spell?
Almost all the important figures in Meicheng came. The city defense army sent several generals, and Haotian Academy sent its chief instructor Hong Tianze. Even some elders of sects were invited.
Chen Ke got off the carriage, handed over the invitation, and walked into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with ease.
Suddenly he felt something in his heart, and when he glanced, he saw a girl smiling at him.
The girl was wearing a purple long skirt. She was tall, had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and bright eyes. Although she was not very beautiful, she had a gentle and soft beauty that gave people a very comfortable feeling.
For some reason, Chen Ke always felt a sense of déjà vu when looking at the girl, especially the smile on the corner of her mouth and the light in her eyes.
Without any warning, the shadow of "Lou Qing'er" suddenly appeared in his mind.
Lou Qing'er?
Lou Qing'er!
Chen Ke broke out in a cold sweat, looked at the girl's back as she walked away, and instantly summoned the mouse and pointed it at the girl.
Beep, beep!
[A non-homologous life form has been discovered. Do you want to check its attributes?]
Beep, beep!
[A non-homologous life form has been discovered. Do you want to check its attributes?]
It was indeed her, the Eight-Winged Goddess!
Chen Ke put away the mouse instantly and walked forward as if nothing had happened, but he was extremely nervous in his heart.
Senior Cobra said that the soul perception of those great masters is very strong, and they will notice anyone who peeks at them.
They will all set up soul defenses in their soul sea to prevent anyone from exploring or launching soul attacks on them.
The Eight-Winged Goddess must be considered a great master.
So Chen Ke didn't dare to act rashly, let alone check the opponent's skills.
Sure enough, the purple-clothed girl looked back, a flash of doubt in her eyes, then she turned her head and continued to walk side by side with the old man beside her.
Chen Ke was in a state of confusion and nervousness, and his eyes were not sure where to go.
Since the Eight-Winged Goddess smiled at him, it was impossible for her to attack him.
So who is her target on this trip?
It can only be the King of Shu!
