I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

However, the sudden windfall and the huge amount of materials changed her mind little by little...

If we have these precious materials but have no place to use them... wouldn't it be a waste?

You know, those good magical instruments cannot be bought even if you have money, and you can only entrust them to be made by master instrument-makers from all walks of life.

Not to mention how much materials those refining masters will withhold in private, the final product also depends on luck and the mood of those so-called masters.

Jiang Ke'er didn't want to be a sucker, so she felt more at ease doing things like refining equipment herself.

So she reluctantly spent three million points each and drew "Equipment Refining Technique (S-level)" and "Moon Design (S-level)" from the prize pool.

It really was exactly three million points! It took three hundred draws to get these two super expensive items, which made Jiang Keer feel once again that she must have been tricked!

Never mind, as long as I can draw it, it’s considered normal luck.

Jiang Keer sighed, looked at the two items that she had spent half a year's savings to buy, and perked up.

These two things are worth six million!

Needless to say, the art of refining equipment has given him a direct path to becoming a master equipment refiner. He only needs to practice refining equipment diligently and constantly improve his proficiency to acquire knowledge and gradually become comparable to the best equipment refiners in China.

The initial level is level 1, and the highest level is level 10. Jiang Keer is looking forward to the day when she reaches the maximum level.

What is worth mentioning is the design drawing of the moon - this is not the design drawing of a single object, but involves many small magical tools used to assemble the moon.

These small magical tools each have their own miraculous effects, and what is even more rare is that the difficulty of refining them and the preciousness of the materials required vary.

For example, a screw inside the moon only needs one level to be refined.

The plates and energy drives on the moon's surface require level seven to be refined and require many precious materials.

Various small magic tools and material components involve a huge amount of knowledge and workload of refining techniques from level one to level seven, which means that she can upgrade to level seven by refining moon materials.

What’s even more valuable is that this design also mentions many runes that are not available in Shenzhou, as well as efficient refining techniques with completely different ideas.

In this way, "Equipment Refining Technique" is like a basic theory tutorial, while "Moon Design Drawing" is an advanced and sublimated application tutorial. The two complement each other, allowing you to learn smoothly all the way.

"It's not a loss this time." Jiang Ke'er comforted herself, "Well, I'll protest next time. I won't be a leek again. Next time, I will, I will..."

********

Today, Jiangdu City has become the base camp of the demon clan. Li Yuan lives in the small palace in Jiangdu City, but he does not call himself the emperor. He lives in the palace only for the convenience of work.

The reunion with Jiang Ke'er made him extremely excited. After all, in his opinion, Jiang Ke'er's journey was a life-threatening one and it came at a huge price.

Jiang Ke'er did not explain the details, but sorted out the belongings she didn't need and a large amount of magic crystals and handed them over to Li Yuan.

"...So the national treasury is with you?!" Lord Li was stunned on the spot.

He already knew that the treasury of Dasi State had been stolen. Yu Wenzhi was extremely worried and distressed. He was also wondering which daring immortal thief had done such a big thing.

In order to protect the secret that Qiao Xiaoxian is Lan Ying, Jiang Ke'er did not reveal the fact that Qiao Xiaoxian had already replaced Qin Wanghao, but was forced to take all the credit.

In fact, this money should have been the credit of Qiao Xiaoxian, and she only played a supporting role. Jiang Keer knew this and did not try to flatter herself.

She couldn't explain in detail, so she just said, "You can handle the money yourself. I'm not good at leading troops to fight. The demon tribe still depends on you."

"You can't take this money for free. It's considered a loan." Li Yuan said decisively, "If the demon tribe develops and stabilizes in the future, I will definitely pay it back in full with interest!"

Oh? Did he accidentally buy the first national debt of the demon race?

"Okay," Jiang Ke'er smiled cheerfully. She knew that if she gave it all away, Li Yuan would feel guilty and indebted, so she agreed to his conditions.

After the money was delivered, Jiang Keer calmed down.

*******

After leaving the Jiangdu Palace, Qiao Xiaoxian followed silently and walked side by side with her.

They walked into the inn together, and after entering the room, Qiao Xiaoxian took off her hood.

Jiang Ke'er looked at the top of Qiao Xiaoxian's head, and suddenly pointed at her head and laughed heartlessly: "Hahaha, you have a hill on your head!"

"...It's you who put the stone there." Qiao Xiaoxian rubbed the bump on his head helplessly.

"You deserve it! Next time I'll put out the pitchfork! And the bomb!"

"Then your assassination attempt has failed."

"Burp." Jiang Ke'er's laughter stopped abruptly.

After a while, Jiang Ke'er cleared her throat and asked casually, "Does it still hurt?"

"It hurt just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore after you asked." Qiao Xiaoxian said with a smile.

"...Problem!" Jiang Ke'er closed her eyes angrily and entered a state of cultivation.

*******

Although he should have enjoyed further wealth and glory after becoming the emperor, Yu Wenzhi, who was born into a wealthy family, experienced poverty for the first time.

Military supplies were running out in various places and the army was on the verge of mutiny.

If this continues, the Dasi Kingdom will collapse from within without the need for anyone to attack it.

Therefore, before seeking revenge on Lan Ying, he must first resolve the unprecedented super financial crisis of the Dasi Kingdom.

The ministers have been squeezed dry, and it’s useless to force them to donate now!

Raise taxes? That will take time. Far water cannot quench near thirst.

Money, I want money so much!

How to get rich overnight!

"Sir, the organizers of the Shenzhou Cup just came to ask if this year's finals will be held..."

"Shenzhou Cup? What time is it already... Wait, Shenzhou Cup?!"

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Do it! Do it now! Announce it to the world immediately! In three days, the Shenzhou Cup finals will be held in the Imperial Capital!"

Fortunately, there is still the Shenzhou Cup final, which can quickly boost the economy of the imperial capital and solve their urgent problems.

Moreover, this is a good opportunity to solve a serious problem that has been stuck in my throat for a long time!

Clear ripples.

Do you dare to come?

131. Diverting Conflicts

Jiang Ke'er stood on the balcony of the inn, staring at the small house below for a long time.

That is the place where ears and tails are cut, and the demon parents regard it as a hope to save their children's future.

That was also the reason why Si Lian insisted on participating in the competition despite the misunderstanding and scolding.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ke'er stared at that place for a long time but did not see the scene she expected.

There are still demon parents carrying their children in and out, and even the number of guests does not show much sign of decreasing compared to before.

"Thousands of years of brainwashing cannot be changed by a short victory, not to mention that the game was interrupted and there was no result," Qiao Xiaoxian said softly as she stood beside Jiang Keer.

Jiang Ke'er was speechless and just went back to the house to continue practicing.

Qiao Xiaoxian did not go back with her. Instead, she turned her head to look at the calendar on the wall. After checking the date, she said that she had something to do and left temporarily.

The next day, after completing her training, she opened her eyes exhausted and was awakened by a knock on the door.

Jiang Keer guessed that the person outside was definitely not Qiao Xiaoxian. That guy never knocked on the door, he always climbed through the window directly.

She casually tied up her messy hair, opened the door, and saw Si Lian.

"Aunt Lian, long time no see." Jiang Ke'er said, raising her eyebrows and looking at Si Lian expectantly, "Is the final of the Shenzhou Cup about to begin?"

Si Lian nodded.

But then she closed her eyes, a trace of pain flashed across her face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, but I'm here to stop you."

"Why?" Jiang Ke'er was stunned. This was not like Si Lian's choice.

The Shenzhou Cup was the goal she had been working towards for half her life, but when she was just one step away from her dream coming true...she chose to give up?

"This time is different. The demon race and the human race have completely torn their faces apart. The other side will no longer care about any face, and will no longer have any bottom line in their methods... This is a trap," Si Lian said, "The competition venue is in the imperial capital, which is the most heavily guarded place in the Great Si Kingdom. If you go there, you will definitely die."

Si Lian said this, looking at Jiang Ke'er worriedly. She knew that the little girl in front of her was difficult to persuade and might do something impulsive.

"Auntie Lian, come in and talk."

Jiang Ke'er bit her lip, closed the door, poured Si Lian a cup of tea, and fell into deep thought.

She knew how dangerous this game was, but she was unwilling to give up the results of six months of hard work at the last minute...

But Jiang Keer knew that Si Lian must be more unwilling than she was. For her, the Shenzhou Cup only lasted for half a year, but for Si Lian, it was her everything.

What's more, this Shenzhou Cup may be her last chance to prove herself.

If she misses it, she will forever bear the stigma of "poisoning the elite of the demon race", "crazy woman" and "human spy". All her efforts will be meaningless and she will always be a sinner condemned by thousands of people until the end of her life.

But Si Lian still chose to give up.

This was a more difficult choice than leading the team to death, and it was the first time in her life that she retreated.

"let me see……"

This is indeed a game of sure death. With the strength of myself and others, participating in the competition is simply throwing away our lives. Once we go, there is no way we can come back.

The Li family was too busy to send out strong men to help. Even if they did, they would still be sending themselves to death, after all, that was the enemy's territory, the heartland of the Dasi Kingdom.

He and Qiao Xiaoxian were able to escape with the help of disguise and the Mingzhou Ding, but the Shenzhou Cup was in front of everyone, and the disguise technique and the Mingzhou Ding were useless when the other party was on guard.

No matter how you look at it, this is a situation where there is no chance of survival and you are just going to die.

"Don't worry, Aunt Lian," Jiang Ke'er sighed after thinking it through, "I won't be impulsive. I understand that for the demon race, the most important thing now is to stay alive, preserve their vitality, and develop steadily..."

Si Lian didn't expect Jiang Ke'er to agree so readily, and looked at Jiang Ke'er's eyes with some suspicion.

Seeing that serious and focused gaze without any impetuousness, Si Lian felt relieved and said, "It's great that you can understand this. You are the savior of the demon race, and you will be on par with the national teacher in the future... So, don't be impulsive, don't make mistakes, just practice with peace of mind."

"I understand." Jiang Ke'er nodded.

Si Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "Then... I'll leave first. I'll contact Jie Shui and Ruan Ruan to prevent them from getting emotional after hearing the news about the Shenzhou Cup."

"Okay." Jiang Ke'er nodded again in agreement.

After Si Lian left, Jiang Ke'er watched her back as she walked away, sighed softly, and lay on the bed, entering the state of cultivation as usual.

Suddenly, a spiritual sense swept through the room quickly, and Si Lian, who had disappeared at the corner of the street, appeared on the roof of the inn, quietly observing Jiang Keer's movements.

Seeing that Jiang Ke'er was lying there practicing obediently and didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations because of the Shenzhou Cup, Si Lian finally put his mind at ease and flew away.

Not long after she left, Jiang Ke'er suddenly sat up.

Then she quickly got out of bed, began to pack her luggage swiftly, and climbed out the window.

Aunt Lian’s worries were right.

Jiang Keer smiled bitterly.

I always cannot help but do some impulsive things. If the plug-in was not powerful enough, I would have been abandoned in the wilderness long ago.

However, if I don’t go to this Shenzhou Cup, I will really regret it for the rest of my life.

I once vowed that I would live my life freely and according to my heart, doing whatever I want to do. As for the consequences... never mind, I'll deal with it when the time comes!

If you violate this principle, there is no point in surviving.

As for the demon clan's state-level master... although he didn't like that stinky dragon very much, he had 100% confidence in her talent. Even if he was not around, she would definitely be able to do better than him.

This way, I won’t have anything to worry about.

"Shenzhou Cup, here I come!" Jiang Ke'er declared while holding down her skirt that was lifted by the wind.

********

Poor!

Yu Wenzhi had a sad face and once again looked up to the sky and sighed silently.

An emergency wave of additional taxes barely added a little extra money to the national treasury, but it was far from enough.

The Shenzhou Cup can bring a wave of economic growth to the imperial capital, but it is still not enough.
