Devouring Chaos

Chapter 61 The Ghost Taoist Appears

After all, he is now a foundation-building cultivator, so he can devour more. He could only eat one first-level monster before, but now he has eaten three!

Moreover, he had done experiments on the true energy contained in Ganoderma lucidum, but now he no longer needs it!

Maybe I have reached the foundation-building stage, and spiritual objects below the foundation-building stage are of no use to me!

After absorbing the true qi from the corpses of the three monsters, Guan Xiaobai felt that his strength had increased by ten times the strength of a bull. The cells in his body absorbed some more true qi, and he made a step forward in the early stage of foundation building! He reached the second level of foundation building!

However, there is still some distance to reach the middle stage of foundation building!

It seems that every time you improve your strength, your power will increase by ten Newtons. By the time you reach the ninth level of foundation building, your strength will increase by ninety Newtons!

Just when Guan Xiao was immersed in the power that was becoming stronger in his body!

Old Yan walked in!

"Master Guan, City Lord Chen Geng wants to see you! And Miss Yuewen!"

Guan Xiaobai was slightly stunned after hearing the report!

What does the city lord want to see them about now?

Although he was puzzled, he still said,

"Lead the way!"

Then Guan Xiaobai and Lu Yuewen followed Lao Yan and left Piaoxianglou!

There is a team of support people outside, they seem to be the guards of the City Lord's Mansion!

After walking for two quarters of an hour, the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion!

Guan Xiaobai walked in!

After coming to the City Lord's Mansion several times, I became familiar with it and walked towards the reception hall!

When I walked to the door, Xiao Long came to greet me!

"Master Guan, I heard that you are back from Yougu. Is everything going well?"

"Fortunately!"

Guan Xiaobai smiled slightly!

"please……"

Then Xiao Long stepped aside to let Guan Xiaobai enter the hall!

After Guan Xiaobai stepped into the hall, he looked around! There were only two people!

The city lord Chen Geng was sitting on the vice-seat at this moment, talking to a scholar in white sitting on the main seat with a flattering look on his face!

"Princess, that brat will be here soon, please wait for a moment!"

Guan Xiaobai looked at the scholar in white with surprise. Wasn't this the man who came to Piaoxiang Tower this morning?

Guan Xiaobai's footsteps attracted the attention of people in the hall!

Chen Geng looked back and saw Guan Xiaobai, then he smiled!

"Princess, that boy is here!"

Then Chen Geng made a gesture to invite Guan Xiaobai to sit down!

Guan Xiaobai didn't hesitate and sat in the two seats on the left with Lu Yuewen!

After sitting down, Guan Xiaobai looked at the scholar in white!

Seeing Guan Xiaobai's presumptuous appearance, Chen Geng said unhappily, "Master Guan, this is Yan Country's Princess Yan Meili, please restrain yourself!"

Guan Xiaobai was slightly stunned and coughed lightly.

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess. I was too presumptuous!"

Guan Xiaobai stood up and bowed! His attitude was sincere!

"It's okay. You didn't know my identity before, so it's inevitable that there will be some inappropriateness!"

"Please sit back down!"

Guan Xiaobai nodded and sat down again!

Although he was wondering why the princess did not come to him alone in the morning, he did not take the initiative to ask now!

Of course he was tactful enough not to ask about the princess's disguise as a man. Maybe this was just her hobby!

Maybe the princess has her own plans!

The thought quickly turned, and then asked,

"Hey, Master Chen, what do you want from me?"

"Did you dig the well in Guanjia Village?"

After Chen Geng asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Guan Xiaobai's face, as if he was afraid of missing something!

At this moment, Yan Meili was looking at Guan Xiaobai curiously!

"Yes!"

Guan Xiaobai replied calmly!

This is not a secret, anyone who is interested can find it out, so he is not lying!

"call……"

Chen Geng let out a sigh of relief, as if a stone had fallen from his heart!

"You're quite capable, kid!"

Then Chen Geng turned around and looked at Yan Meili. Seeing Yan Meili nodded slightly, he thought for a moment and said,

"Princess, what you mean is, can you pass on this well-digging technology to others so that people all over the country can drink the water from the well, and those remote mountain villages can have water to drink!"

Guan Xiaobai's expression froze after hearing this. So Chen Geng came to him for this matter?

Seeing Guan Xiaobai was silent! Chen Geng thought Guan Xiaobai was unwilling!

After all, this is someone else's knowledge and technology. Even if they don't agree, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it!

Chen Geng frowned!

Yan Meili's expression also turned slightly cold at this moment!

When she went to meet Guan Xiaobai in the morning, Guan Xiaobai was "generously" sharing fine salt with other restaurants, so he was not a selfish person!

"Master Guan, if you feel it is inappropriate, you can put forward conditions. As long as they are not excessive, I will agree to them!"

Yan Meili spoke! Her voice was clear and crisp!

Guan Xiaobai was a little stunned after hearing this, and said with a smile,

"I'm not unwilling, I was just distracted just now. Since it's the princess's request, then I, Guan Xiaobai, will naturally obey!"

"Forehead……"

Guan Xiaobai's words made Yan Meili feel embarrassed!

Although she liked to be strong and use her power to suppress others, if Guan Xiaobai disagreed, she would use the power of the state to sanction Guan Xiaobai. However, Guan Xiaobai agreed without hesitation, which made her punch like hitting cotton, with no place to exert force!

"Since Master Guan is so clear about justice, I feel relieved!"

"Of course, since you have made such a great contribution, Yan Country will not treat you unfairly. I have sent a letter to the imperial capital, asking my father to reward you with 500,000 taels of silver!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

Guan Xiaobai bowed!

Five hundred thousand taels is neither too much nor too little, and it is better to have it than nothing!

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Yan Meili immediately walked down from the seat!

"This princess is tired!"

The city lord Chen Geng quickly stood up and called the maid.

"Princess, the resting place has been prepared for you. Let the maid take you there!"

Chen Geng made a respectful invitation gesture!

"it is good!"

Then Yan Meili left the hall!

There are only three people left in the hall!

After Princess Yan left, Guan Xiaobai found it easier to talk, and then asked,

"Master Chen, why did the princess come to our Changyuan City?"

There are many cities in Yan Country, but Changyuan City is located on the border and has nothing special about it. It is relatively poor compared to other cities! Guan Xiaobai doesn't believe that Yan Meili would come here out of boredom!

"Humph, why didn't you tell me that you can dig a well?"

"This is something unprecedented in hundreds of years and has great significance!"

"If Xiao Long hadn't told me about this, I would have been kept in the dark!"

"Such a good thing, of course I have to report it to the country!"

"I didn't expect the princess would come in person this time!"

"It seems that Emperor Yan attaches great importance to this matter!"

Chen Geng said with a smile on his face!

Guan Xiaobai rolled his eyes. Xiao Long, the big mouth, and Chen Geng probably reported it to the country for their own political achievements!

"You guys are really well-informed!"

It’s hard to tell whether Guan Xiaobai’s words were praise or mockery!

He likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like to do any gimmicks!

"Of course, the princess came to our Changyuan City mainly to confirm this well digging matter with you, and secondarily to supervise the imperial examination in Changyuan City this year!"
