Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Methods of Assistance
 

Xue Yuantong slightly tilted her head up and saw Jiang Ning's calm gaze, which instantly soothed her heart.

Right, she wasn't alone, with Jiang Ning by her side.

Jiang Ning was so powerful, he would definitely be able to protect her.

Then she thought, what if Jiang Ning got bitten by a dog?

Maybe it would be better to run away with him after all, she was quite fast at running.

Xue Yuantong was caught in a dilemma.

The people around watched the scene unfold, with no one daring to step in.

As for the dog's owner, the fat man, he seemed indifferent. His dog would, at most, knock the little girl over and gnaw at her a bit, but it wouldn't bite her and cause injury.

Besides, even if it bit someone, so what?

According to his judgement, he would just have to compensate with a few hundred yuan for a rabies shot, at most. After all, most of these students were pushovers, who wouldn't dare to make a big fuss.

The fat man let his dog charge forward without any intention of stopping it.

Jiang Ning looked at the approaching large wolf dog with an indifferent expression in his eyes.

If no one intervened, Xue Yuantong would definitely be knocked over. The ground was dirty from the rain that had just ended, and she would inevitably end up covered in mud.

Whether it was now or in the past, he disliked such dogs and people. Or rather, these kinds of people and their dogs were the same to him, lacking the basic qualities of what it meant to be human.

His hand gently clenched, and a surge of Spiritual Power emerged, instantly solidifying.

The Spiritual Power formed a fist that thrust forward, creating a powerful, invisible blast of air.

This directly struck the charging large wolf dog in the head, as if a brick had collided with it.

The wolf dog let out a “gak” of agony.

To the bystanders, it seemed like the wolf dog was charging fiercely when suddenly it halted and let out a miserable yelp, collapsing sideways on the ground, completely perplexed as to what had happened.

The dog's owner, previously indifferent, saw this scene as if it were his own child getting injured, and hurriedly ran over in concern.

Fearing for his “dog son's” safety.

However, as he approached the large wolf dog from behind,

Jiang Ning activated his Spiritual Power, transforming it into a large hand, striking out through the air.

With his current level of cultivation, the Spiritual Power hand he summoned was considerably powerful, especially for an ordinary person.

The Spiritual Power hand hit the fat man from behind, sending him tumbling forward with such force that he seemed to have tripped over nothing and fell flat.

The fat man's heavy body landed on the large wolf dog, eliciting another painful yelp from the animal.

Xue Yuantong stood frozen in place, finding the whole situation incredibly amazing.

Several male students passing by, who were athletes with good physical fitness, laughed without any reservations:

“Uncle, no matter how bad you feel, you shouldn't do that to a dog in the street, huh, it's really indecent!”

“Ha ha ha ha,” laughter filled the surrounding area, reveling in schadenfreude.

The fat man, furious upon hearing this, struggled to stand up and glared at the high school students.

However, the high school students were strong and healthy; if he laid hands on them, he would definitely be at a disadvantage, so he could only glare helplessly.

Jiang Ning had been standing for over ten seconds now, having finished creating a Spiritual Sense Imprint. With a light flick of his finger, the imprint flew onto the fat man, with no one around noticing a thing.

“Let's go, time to eat,” Jiang Ning said.

Three minutes later, Jiang Ning arrived at a small restaurant. Perhaps due to the rainy weather, there was only one table of customers inside, who looked like students with slightly damp hair and clothes, likely those who had dashed out before the rain had stopped.

The Boss Lady, a woman in her early thirties, saw customers coming in and warmly greeted them:

“The menu is on the wall. Let me know what you'd like to eat.”

Jiang Ning glanced down at Xue Yuantong, who usually talked nonstop when asking him to bring her meals, but was now silent.

Fortunately, having dined with Xue Yuantong these past days, he had come to understand her preferences, which were similar to his own.

“Spicy chicken, stir-fried squid with garlic shoots, bean sprout sandwiches, and a serving of dried sweet potato congee, five yuan's worth of pancake.”

Jiang Ning ordered the food expertly, some dishes were not even on the menu.

He had been here for meals during breaks after graduating from college and knew many dishes that weren't listed, but the Boss Lady would still prepare them.

Upon hearing the dishes ordered, the Boss Lady was surprised:

“Have you been here before?”

Jiang Ning replied, “I haven't, but I've heard others say the food is good here, so I specifically came to try it.”

The Boss Lady was clearly pleased to hear someone praising the taste of their food:

“Please take a seat over there, we cook everything fresh, so your dishes will be served in a moment.”

Jiang Ning chose a secluded spot. Because of its proximity to the corner and the obstruction caused by a standing fridge, what was normally seating for four now only accommodated three.

This way, it was unlikely for customers to join the table.

Xue Yuantong sat down uncomfortably, occasionally looking around as if he rarely dined out.

Jiang Ning turned on his phone and opened the Tiantian Kupao page:

“Want to play?”

“Sure,” said Xue Yuantong, then he played the game quietly.

Jiang Ning, on the other hand, was contemplating his cultivation.

With the aid of Qi Gathering Pills, he had already attained the Qi Cultivation Second Level, a certain distance away from the transformative Qi Cultivation Fourth Level.

For now, the only way was to set up a Spirit Gathering Array to promote the growth of medicinal herbs, in order to refine better quality Qi Gathering Pills and accelerate his cultivation progress.

The Spirit Gathering Array had many mysterious benefits and would greatly assist his cultivation journey.

His current priority was to gain capital from the Evergreen Liquid, buy a villa at the top of Hu Qi Mountain, and then figure out a way to secure a portion of the mountain forest's contracting rights.

Lately, Shao Shuangshuang had been promoting the Evergreen Liquid; she had emailed to update him on progress the day before yesterday.

The price of Evergreen Liquid would definitely have to drop in the future, the current price of ten thousand was merely to test the market.

Evergreen Liquid was made using medicinal herbs refined by spirit water and Spiritual Fire, with the spirit water part possibly being produced by an array, so Jiang Ning didn't need to worry about it.

But as for the refinement of the herbs, at present, only Jiang Ning himself could do it.

If there were sufficient herbs, Jiang Ning could refine a hundred portions in half an hour.

He could at most spare half an hour a day for Evergreen Liquid, any more would affect his cultivation progress and not be worth the losses.

During the early stages of Evergreen Liquid's promotion, it was manageable, but in the later stages, a hundred portions a day would be far from meeting market demand.

Fortunately, refining the necessary herbs for Evergreen Liquid was much simpler than alchemy, and some alchemy apprentices could handle the job.

Jiang Ning was not considering taking any disciples. He thought of a solution:

‘The extraction of Evergreen Liquid's herbs could perhaps be completed by a Spirit Array.'

Such a level of Spirit Array would require a Spirit Soul to preside over it.

The so-called Spirit Soul was inherent to all beings; once a soul was cultivated and transformed by a cultivator, it became a Spirit Soul, which had numerous uses.

The higher the intelligence of the being's soul, the better the quality of the Spirit Soul produced.

Some Alchemists and Artifact Refiners would often do unconscionable things to collect souls in search of high-quality Spirit Souls.

Jiang Ning would not engage in such actions. He thought of the wild dog he had encountered earlier.

The dog's wildness was unrestrained, leaving it unchecked would be harmful, and sooner or later, it would harm someone, it might even have bitten someone today had Jiang Ning not intervened.

Such a menace needed to be dealt with.

He made up his mind:

‘Well then, I'll take you to be the Spirit Soul of the Spirit Array, to grow hair for tens of millions of people suffering from hair loss, that'll be your blessing.'

This was also why Jiang Ning had left a Spiritual Sense Imprint on the fat man earlier.
