Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 52 Pawning the House
At this moment, Jing Qian had a newly-minted [Operation for Forging Life] in his possession, and he used it on [Lifespan] without hesitation.

Unlike other [Destiny], it is necessary to melt two identical pieces and combine them into one before recasting can be completed.

This [Lifespan] destiny was smoothly embedded into the destiny monument, and after he activated the [Destiny Forging Machine], it swallowed up all of his [White Fang Life Essence] reserves!

Jing Qian was almost drained of his lifespan by relying on his life essence to rebuild his lifespan.

Looking at the [Lifespan] fate, the lifespan is actually doubled: [Lifespan] (White Fang 2 minutes), which is a huge increase in efficiency!
This almost made Jing Qian rush in front of the crocodile dragon and die a few more times!
Unfortunately, this was not the place for retreat. Before he knew it, three days had passed and he had no choice but to leave Gongye Zhengdian.

Jing Qian was walking on the street in a very good mood.

Within three days, he refined ten sword embryos, six of which were transformed into the power of [Sword Fang].

There have also been new improvements in magic power and [lifespan] destiny.

The overall strength of the person increased again!

Everything was under control, the situation of cultivation was gradually unfolding, and a sense of security filled his heart with strength.

He did not return to the Jing family's main store, but went east all the way to the end of Hunzhou Hai City.

This place is away from the core of Haishi City and there are few pedestrians on the road.

Jing Qian strolled to the door of a small temple and knocked gently.

Soon, the temple door opened and a little Taoist boy welcomed him in.

Jing Qian came to the main hall and found that the temple was enshrining a strange statue of a golden toad.

Beside the statue stood a thin Taoist priest. When he saw Jing Qian come in, he asked:
"Are you Jing Qian?"

"She has a fierce temper, but not as kind as your aunt."

"Why did you come to see me?"

Jing Qian bowed and said:
"Mr. City Manager, my Jing's store is not doing well. Our main shipping business has been taken over by the Xu's store. Do you have any explanation?"

The Taoist Li Yi in front of him is a middle-level manager of the Civil Affairs Department. He has the cultivation level of [Dragon Elephant] and is in charge of Hunzhou Haishi. He can be said to be in a high position and have great power.

He just opened his mouth and said:
"Your Jing's store was founded by your ancestor Jingchuan."

"At its peak, we had seven high-quality treasure ships and over forty large ships. We could build a fleet that could sail for years and control the shipping of an entire continent."

"Unfortunately, your ancestors died, and your fleet suffered a shipwreck and never recovered."

"Shipping is no different from other industries. It is essential for our maritime business."

"Your Jing family can't take over, so naturally you have to find another family to replace it."

"The Xu family's main store also comes from a naval background. They have been engaged in shipbuilding and boat making for nearly three hundred years, spanning five generations."

"The Xu family fleet we're running now has already completed two consecutive voyages in the Yin Year, which is considered a good reputation."

"Your Jing family only has one person left now. Even if you want to return to the shipping industry and build a fleet, it won't be easy."

"However, I gave the shipping duties to the Xu family back then, so I do owe you, the Jing family."

As he spoke, Li Yi took out a large and exquisite dragon scale book, opened it, handed it to Jing Qian, and continued:
"In addition to Jing's shipping duties, I permit you to choose another industry."

"As long as it doesn't conflict directly with other legitimate stores, you can do whatever you want."

Jing Qian raised his hand to take the large book, used his magic power, and wrote four large words on the book with his pen, then handed it back.

His purpose of coming to see Li Yi had been achieved, so he stood up, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

Li Yi looked at the young man in front of him who was decisive and efficient, and shook his head.

Then, he looked at the large book in his hand and saw that below the Jing's store, besides sea shipping, it was written:

"House for sale!"

Jing Qian left the small temple and walked all the way back to Jingjiazhengdian.

After more than a day, the blood at the door had been washed away and the corpse had disappeared. He walked in and called the three remaining people over. He said to them:
"Go out and spread the news that I, Jing Qian, will sell the Jing's store in three months."

"Anyone interested, regardless of background, is welcome to come and bid."

"Also, send one of you, holding my badge, to the Underground Pier and bring in the people from Earth Dragon Reef Island."

There are a total of fifteen [Life Islands] in [Hunzhou], all of which have lit up [Life Stove] and are powerful forces with great cultivators in charge.

Each [Life Island] is unique and has its own heritage.

Among all the [Life Islands], there is a [Earth Dragon Reef Island], which is quite strange.

According to legend, when this island was built, there was not even enough land to form a "Life Island". There was only a scattered coral reef, and it was impossible to build a "Life Island".

However, there happened to be a high-quality vitality core here. If one could successfully set up a stove, it would be easy enough to grow a [Blue Stove].

Therefore, there was a lineage called Dilong Sect, who took great risks and reclaimed land between the islands and reefs, and built an [Dilong Reef Island], which became famous in [Hunzhou].

The construction capabilities of the monks of [Earth Dragon Reef Island] have since been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

If there is an important construction project on each [Life Island], the first thing that comes to mind is to ask the master craftsmen from [Earth Dragon Reef Island] to come and take a look.

Among the 24 main stores in Hunzhou Hai City, more than half were built by Dilong Jiao Island.

The Jing family is a newly-made upstart family with insufficient resources, so they have not yet asked for help from [Earth Dragon Reef Island].

But this also has its advantages!

At the very least, it was not difficult for Jingqian to demolish the house.

After he sent the three people away, he took out his ninth-grade copper hammer and started demolition. For a while, the main store of the Jing family was in ruins.

"Boom!"

He started demolishing from the main entrance lobby and broke the main beam with a hammer.

While he was dismantling the house, he released more than a dozen crystal silk threads and searched everywhere in the house.

He put the useful things into his pocket and piled the useless things in the yard.

There were four courtyards in total. Jing Qian demolished and dug it out. In just two hours, he had turned the entire Jing's main store into a Syrian-style ruin.

If we talk about the harvest, it’s not a small one!

Those who "committed suicide" accumulated some wealth.

Jing Qian picked out gold and silver knife coins with a total value of 27 yuan gold ingots from the secret boxes and secret rooms in various residences. They were enough to buy two sets of [Sword Fang] materials, which was much more than his total net worth.

This was pure windfall, and he had nothing to complain about.

And the huge commotion he made once again attracted everyone's attention!
Jing's official store made big news twice in a row, with one person dying and the other having their house demolished, which attracted a huge amount of traffic.

All kinds of rumors spread like wildfire in Hunzhou Hai City.

Among them, two are the most widely circulated and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The first one said that the only son of the Jing family had his body burned by the [life fire] and his brain was damaged.

We cannot treat him with the eyes and standards of a normal person.

The second one is the latest news.

It is said that this crazy guy from the Jing family doesn't even want the license of his own store and wants to sell the entire Jing's store!
If only this second piece of news were spread without any reason, I'm afraid most people wouldn't believe it.

However, combined with Jing Qian's crazy performances over the past two days, it gave the onlookers a basis for belief.

As a result, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, more and more people began to look forward to the big sale of Jing's products in three months.
