189: Xia sisters enrolled
If he's honest, I'll support him.
If he's not, then I'll kill him.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't say the latter half of that sentence aloud; he wasn't some natural-born killer.
To kill someone just because they disagree with him.
What if Feng Aotian wanted to turn over a new leaf? He should at least be given a chance.
After all, Jiang Chen hadn't even met him yet.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Chen saw Zhao Yong still waiting outside.
"Still here? Where's Zhao Ming?"
"Zhao Ming is interrogating those fellows in the prison."
"You've worked hard. Take these Spirit Stones first and try to improve your strength as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen gave Zhao Ming a thousand Spirit Stones.
These two were loyal and courageous, and also both resourceful and not too foolish.
If cultivated, perhaps they could be trusted in the future.
After all, there were always some minor tasks that would require them to handle.
"Ah, Young Master, this..."
"Take it, no more nonsense."
Jiang Chen was not to be refused.
A thousand Spirit Stones was already an astronomical figure for them.
But for Jiang Chen, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
Just in these two days, after raiding the Jin Family and Blazing Fire Gang, Jiang Chen had already accumulated nearly three million Spirit Stones.
In addition, there were medicinal herbs worth about five million Spirit Stones.
Of course, Jiang Chen could use most of these medicinal herbs.
The reason why there were only a mere three million Spirit Stones on hand was probably because a portion of them had already been sent to Feng Aotian.
No wonder Feng Aotian was so anxious.
Because, all in all, there were nearly ten million Spirit Stones involved.
If it were during normal times, it would definitely be a significant sum of capital.
So Feng Aotian also needed to quickly re-establish this connection.
Jiang Chen returned to Ziyun Villa.
After Cultivating with the Xia Sisters for a while, he pulled Cheng Yurou into the Pill Refining Room.
The Pill Refining Room was also an existing facility within Ziyun Villa.
And it was very well arranged.
"What are you doing, bringing me here..."
Cheng Yurou pursed her lips and smiled, feigning ignorance.
"Teaching you Alchemy."
"Put your hands on the Medicine Cauldron, both hands."
Jiang Chen said with a mischievous smile.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Chen did indeed begin to seriously teach Cheng Yurou Alchemy.
Now Jiang Chen had mastered seventh-grade Alchemy.
Guiding Cheng Yurou was even easier.
The most important thing was that Cheng Yurou also had very high talent in Alchemy.
With some basic essentials and the improvement of her Cultivation, Cheng Yurou's Cultivation was now approaching the Spirit Martial Realm.
Just this speed of Cultivation was astonishing.
With Cheng Yurou's current Cultivation, she was indeed able to control flames well and perform Alchemy.
While Jiang Chen was guiding Cheng Yurou in Alchemy, he was also doing Alchemy himself.
Since there was no higher-grade Pill Formula available for the time being, Jiang Chen decided to refine the heaven burning dragon elephant pill first.
He would then give a few to Lu Qian and the others.
He should also keep a few for himself, just in case he met someone in need, he could take them out early so they could improve their strength as soon as possible.
The next day.
Jiang Chen also didn't forget to take the Xia Sisters to Bailu Academy.
Things were exactly as Jiang Chen had expected; the talents of the two girls were extremely superior even within Bailu Academy. Bailu Academy, encountering such rare Geniuses, naturally eagerly sought them out.
They immediately promised the two admission.
However, the study required a closed-off environment.
After school started, there would only be two days of vacation each month.
Upon hearing this, the two girls immediately became unhappy, wanting to run away on the spot, refusing to enroll no matter what.
Finally, it was only under Jiang Chen's persuasion that they agreed to continue their studies.
But they also made Bailu Academy make concessions.
Every day after school, leaving the academy for one or two hours would also be allowed.
Bailu Academy itself allowed this.
After all, many students came from other places, and going back and forth would leave them no time for school, and they wouldn't learn anything at all.
But during extracurricular time, it was not a problem for you to move around the city yourself.
You just needed to return before curfew.
Upon learning this, the Xia Sisters immediately beamed with joy.
This made the academy official responsible for admissions murmur to himself.
What's so fun about one or two hours every day? Look how excited these two children are.
"Alright, you two study hard here from now on."
"At the Academy, spend money freely; don't be too frugal."
"I'll give each of you 100,000 Spirit Stones every month. If it's not enough, write to me or just go back and get more. If I'm not around, find Yurou."
Jiang Chen said.
He also didn't know how much money it would cost to study at such an academy each month.
But after all, they were all students from wealthy and noble families, and they were all girls. If he gave too little, the two girls would inevitably be bullied. Jiang Chen didn't understand the intricacies of this, but he understood women.
"Ah... no need, no need, Young Master. We can do some part-time jobs at the Academy ourselves on weekdays."
Xia Sixuan quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen directly flicked Xia Sixuan's head.
"You girl, did I let you study at the Academy to find part-time jobs?"
"Wuwu... I will study hard and definitely not disappoint Young Master."
Xia Si柠, beside her, also smiled softly, but still looked at Jiang Chen seriously.
"Young Master, it really doesn't need that much... I've already understood that ten Spirit Stones a month is already a very high expenditure."
"Ten? Too little."
"I'll give each of you 100,000 first. When Young Master earns more Spirit Stones, I'll send them to you. If you can't spend it all, then help me save it."
Jiang Chen said.
The two little girls hadn't experienced the harsh realities of a girls' academy yet. If they didn't have some Spirit Stones in their hands, they would definitely suffer grievances.
"If anyone bullies you, just tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!"
Jiang Chen said, patting his chest.
"Mm-hmm..."
"Young Master, thank you..."
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
During these seven days, Jiang Chen had done quite a few things.
Cheng Yurou's Cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds during these few days.
She directly achieved a Breakthrough to the Spirit Martial Realm.
And her Alchemy had also made very significant progress.
She was already able to refine second-grade Medicinal Pills and maintain a 50% success rate.
This was an extremely miraculous thing for a novice Alchemist.
To have such a big Breakthrough in just seven days.
At the same time, Jiang Chen also completed a Body Tempering with Body Forging Azure Flame and the refinement of the heaven burning dragon elephant pill for Lu Qian, Chu Yun, and Shen Lingshu.
This greatly increased the Cultivation of the three of them.
Of course, Lu Qian's was refined for her alone.
Chu Yun and Shen Lingshu's were together.
After all, Lu Qian was also their superior and Revered Master, so she needed to maintain some dignity.
And today.
It was the opening day of the Zhou Family's Spirit Pill Pavilion.
It was also the time when Feng Aotian of Fenglan Sword Sect arrived in Cangzhou City.
