The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 22 It's really different
Li Jingxiao got the benefit and hurried to thank Shen Boping.

Seeing that he really didn't like paperwork and other official matters, Shen Boping couldn't help but laugh.

He secretly thought that this was a good thing. Only by practicing Taoism wholeheartedly could he become more powerful.

It's good for everyone.

He happily gave Li Jingxiao three days off.

Afterwards, a silver note worth one hundred taels was handed to Li Jingxiao, saying that it was the custom of the Daoluo Division.

Since it is not easy to get promoted in the Daoluo Si, even if Shen Boping has the opportunity to be promoted, he will be suppressed by the bigwigs of the Ministry of Rites and continue to manage the Daoluo Si.

After all, he is the head of the Daoluo Division and knows the most secrets.

Then no one would be so strict about money.

Otherwise, do you really think that he, Shen Boping, is just a scholar who is powerless?

After Li Jingxiao left Shen Boping's office, he was dragged by Rao Guangxian and Yu Fubao to Zuixianlou to drink and celebrate.

When they arrived at the place, Li Jingxiao thought about it and took out the silver note given by You Shiheng.

Rao Guangxian simply waved his hand and said, "In terms of the credit, Lao Yu and I took advantage of you. If we split the money again, that would be unacceptable."

Yu Fubao nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord Rao and I also received a hundred taels of silver for this trip.

In our government office, whenever someone goes out on an errand, we give them quite a bit of reward silver, depending on the severity of the task and the distance involved."

Rao Guangxian smiled and agreed, "It's not easy to get promoted, so let's make it back with money.

Besides, if they don't find a reason to distribute the surplus money from the Daolusi every year, are they supposed to hand it over to those bookworms in the Ministry of Rites who have become stupid from studying too much?"

Yu Fubao immediately agreed with this statement.

It seems that the Daoluo Si was often despised by the upright officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Otherwise, the two wouldn't be so resentful.

Li Jingxiao was not from the imperial examination background, so naturally he would not stand on the side of the civil servants.

And for him, practice is the key.
-
The drinking party ended before 2 pm, and Li Jingxiao felt a little tired after two days.

Rao Guangxian and Yu Fubao must be more tired.

Wait until Li Jingxiao leaves the restaurant and returns to the Taoist temple.

I saw Jia Heng, who stayed in the capital yesterday, sitting bored on the steps in front of the Taoist temple.

As soon as he saw Li Jingxiao coming back, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Master, did this mission go smoothly?"

Li Jingxiao smiled and nodded, "Not bad, I'll sleep for an hour in the afternoon.

You put up a notice at the entrance of the temple.

Starting tomorrow, I will have three days off and will continue to see patients every morning."

Jia Heng nodded quickly.

When Li Jingxiao was taking a nap, the notice was posted on the wall at the entrance of the temple.

Jia Heng's voice became much louder when he was chatting with others.

Her mother started preparing dinner at three o'clock.

Although Li Jingxiao had said before that the food didn't need to be too elaborate, Jia Chenshi felt that since Li Jingxiao was already an official, his diet and daily life must be different.

In the evening, Li Jingxiao looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and after a quick calculation of the prices, he realized that if they continued to eat like this, the three taels of silver he had given might not be enough for a week.

Moreover, among the three taels of silver, one tael was the monthly salary of Jia Heng and his mother.

When Liu Lao Lao entered the Rongguo Mansion for the first time, Wang Xifeng gave her 20 taels of silver. Liu Lao Lao said that these 20 taels were enough for her family of four to eat for a year.

But Aunt Liu is not a poor person.

Her family has a house and a field, so it can be seen that her family’s food standard should not be bad.

When the harvest is bad, they come to beg for money.

Li Jingxiao had a food allowance of 2 taels of silver per month, and the food he ate was much better than the boxed lunches he had eaten all day in his previous life.

In this world, it is much better than being a small landlord.

But the four-happiness meatballs, boiled chicken, stewed lamb, dry-fried fish and cabbage and tofu soup in front of me.

Li Jingxiao didn't even need to ask, two taels of silver a month was definitely not enough.

After tasting every dish, I couldn't help but think that Jia Chenshi was indeed worthy of being a cook who had worked in the kitchen of Ningguo Mansion. This level of quality seemed to be no worse than the taste of some restaurants in my previous life.

Moreover, this dish is made without too many seasonings, so it retains its original flavor, and the cooking skills are definitely more difficult to learn.

Probably because of his martial arts training and his growing body, Li Jingxiao has always had a big appetite.

Not only did he finish the four dishes and one soup, he also ate three bowls of rice.

He wiped his mouth, praised Jia Chenshi a few words, and then took out ten taels of silver in change.

"From now on, just work at this level. If it's not enough, ask me for more."

Jia Chen nodded quickly. She was not so short-sighted as to make money from the food.

If I had the money, I would be willing to spend money for Jia Heng's future.

The truth is, since I have the cooking skills, I always feel uncomfortable when I only make three home-cooked dishes all day long.

Moreover, if you don’t cook your specialty dishes for a long time, your cooking skills will be wasted.

Like now, the more satisfied Li Jingxiao is with his food, the more useful they and his mother will appear.

In the evening, Jia Heng and his mother had dinner and cleaned up the kitchen before saying goodbye to Li Jingxiao and returning to their own home.

Li Jingxiao also used talismans to help digestion.

The spiritual energy on the fire-controlling talismans and evil-exorcising talismans of a minor level of accomplishment is indeed much more powerful than those drawn when I first started.

Moreover, if these talismans are placed in the game's inventory, the spiritual energy will not slowly dissipate.

After that, practice sword techniques, palm techniques and light skills for 3 hours.

Only then did he begin to meditate and practice internal energy.

When I wake up in the morning, not only does my fatigue disappear, but I also feel refreshed.

When he was seeing patients in the morning, probably not many people knew that he had returned.

After only 11 patients were admitted, no one came to the clinic anymore.

I just stared at Jia Heng practicing boxing and reciting the medicinal herb song.

Fortunately, this kid has not been lazy these two days and has been practicing Wudang Changquan quite well.

I have also memorized the first part of the medicinal herb song.

Li Jingxiao did not let him continue to memorize the second article, but asked him to write it out from memory every day.

It takes a lot of time to write more than 300 characters with a brush.

Start writing for a month until you know it by heart. Then you only need to review it from time to time and it will be difficult to forget it.

By the way, practice calligraphy.

Three days passed quickly, with 100 evil-repelling talismans and 100 fire-controlling talismans each day.

The proficiency of the two spells has also reached a small level of success (301/500).

The proficiency in swordsmanship, light skills, palm techniques and stick techniques all increased by 20 to 30 points.

Only the minor success of the Immortality and Eternal Youth Kung Fu is as difficult to practice as ever.

Minor Success (27/500)

The character level has also reached level 3 (102/300)

Early in the morning, he took Jia Heng to the yamen on foot. As soon as he walked out of the Taoist temple, he unexpectedly met Jia Zheng and his group in a sedan chair.

What surprised Li Jingxiao was that Jia Lian, the eldest son of the eldest wife, was actually following his second uncle's sedan chair.

It seems that this kid must follow Jia Zheng's sedan chair every day and send him to work.

If I were Jia She, I would definitely not like this biological son.

You're always trying to curry favor with your second uncle, so it would be strange if I didn't feel uncomfortable.

As soon as Jia Lian saw Li Jingxiao, he was overjoyed.

He first greeted him, and then said something to Jia Zheng beside the sedan chair.

Then I heard the sound of "stop" coming from the sedan.

Jia Zheng, dressed in the green official uniform of the fifth rank, stood before Li Jingxiao in the green robe and could not help but sigh inwardly.
