Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?! - Chapter 142
Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Jiang Cheng’s Cultivation Level Increases
After the first batch of freshmen at Jiang Cheng had finished their exams, Admissions Director Li Youyuan heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Without another word, he immediately gathered the other teachers from the admissions office; they worked through the night, using the exam recordings of the first batch of freshmen to remake next year’s admission standards for Lotus University.
Character assessment must strictly define the questions!
The aesthetic assessment must absolutely not include contemporary celebrities in the drawings!
The combat assessment must eliminate any methods of victory that don’t involve fighting!
For the labor assessment, the use of strange Magical Treasures and props is forbidden!
The decryption assessment should add a point deduction mechanism for accidental injuries, and under no circumstances should candidates be allowed to recklessly kill!
In addition, all the Magical Treasures and Talismans used by Jiang Cheng must be put on the restricted list!
Under no circumstances are the new students allowed to emulate Jiang Cheng’s examination methods!
One Jiang Cheng had already drained all of Li Youyuan’s savings; he could hardly imagine the scene if everyone were like Jiang Cheng.
September 24th, morning.
Liu Qing woke up from her dream.
She stretched languidly while sitting on the bed. Then she got off the spacious double bed and changed out of her soft, snug pajamas into the proper clothes that Jiang Cheng had bought for her.
Then, still bleary-eyed, she went to the washroom to wash and brush her teeth.
The towel she used was one Jiang Cheng had bought for her, as were the toothbrush and toothpaste.
After finishing her morning routine, Liu Qing left the bathroom, passed by the kitchen and refrigerator, and casually took milk and the cake Jiang Cheng had bought last time, which she hadn’t finished.
Finally, Liu Qing walked out to the balcony of the house rented by Jiang Cheng.
She sat in the lounge chair Jiang Cheng had expressly given to her and quickly finished her breakfast.
After that, she waited for the sun to rise from behind the clouds and basked under it for the entire day, until the moon came up and Jiang Cheng returned home in the evening.
If everything went as usual, such a leisurely and idle day was the daily routine of a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm.
Fairly speaking, when Liu Qing was at Mount Tian, although she often meditated and practiced for long periods, she was definitely not a homebody.
After each practice session, she still liked to wander around.
But ever since coming to the human world, Liu Qing hardly ever went out “voluntarily”.
When she left the house, it was either for work or because Jiang Cheng was with her.
The former was necessary since she valued her work.
The latter was because she didn’t mind going out with Jiang Cheng. Although human society’s smells were unpleasant, with Jiang Cheng, her air purifier, she could bear it.
At least by Jiang Cheng’s side, she could always maintain a good mood and condition.
Otherwise, always smelling those foul odors, even if they didn’t harm the body, it would be hard to feel happy.
If even Snake was unhappy, what was the point of wandering about? Was it just to make oneself miserable?
Snake might not be very smart, but she wasn’t masochistic.
Basically, as long as Jiang Cheng didn’t take her out, she would probably stay at home and not budge, even to the point of enduring hunger without moving.
Perhaps even Liu Qing herself didn’t realize that since she met Jiang Cheng, her life had been filled by him without her noticing.
Maybe she had noticed, but she didn’t mind the feeling of being filled by Jiang Cheng.
Because Jiang Cheng was her good friend.
Good friends are supposed to help each other.
The sun today didn’t seem to know better and was slow to come out.
Bored, Liu Qing looked towards her good friend Jiang Cheng’s room and suddenly noticed that Jiang Cheng had gotten up at some point.
Much earlier than her.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng was secretly cultivating in his room.
Considering the speed at which he was cultivating, it seemed like he was finally about to break through to the fourth level of Qi training.
Oh, he has broken through.
Liu Qing blinked her eyes.
Her fingers moved slightly, and a circular barrier enveloped her and Jiang Cheng.
Cultivators were usually unstable right after a breakthrough, and if they didn’t consolidate quickly, it was easy to fall back down, rendering all their efforts in vain.
Although Liu Qing wasn’t planning to help Jiang Cheng forcibly increase his cultivation level, cautiously creating a safe space for him to cultivate was something she could do as his friend.
Moreover, as long as she was careful about it, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t find out she was secretly helping him.
It was just a protective barrier, it shouldn’t be a problem.
She thought.
Half a day passed, and after taking several elixirs, Jiang Cheng finally stabilized his Level Four Qi cultivation.
At the same time, Liu Qing on the balcony silently turned off her barrier and turned over on the lounge chair as if nothing had happened.
Having broken through his cultivation, Jiang Cheng felt refreshed; he had been stuck at Level Three Qi for many years.
If it weren’t for his no-cost-barred use of Spiritual Liquid and elixirs, who knows how much longer he’d be stuck at Level Three Qi.
Fortunately, he’d made some money lately, and currently had enough elixirs and Spiritual Liquid for his cultivation.
Cultivating immortality was extremely expensive for a cultivator with mediocre talent like him.
Jiang Cheng walked out of his room and into the living room, where he saw Snake on the balcony.
Snake seemed a bit odd today; the sky was overcast, so why was she still on the balcony?
Based on Jiang Cheng’s past observations, Snake usually preferred to lie on the sofa on cloudy days, as the sofa was softer than the lounge chair.
It would better conform to the undulating curves of a certain snake’s body.
It wasn’t that Jiang Cheng was paying special attention.
It was just that, after spending so much time with Snake, he’d gotten a clear understanding of her habits.
“Liu Qing, it’s cloudy today, there’s no sun,” Jiang Cheng reminded her.
Liu Qing lifted her head and glanced at the sky, suddenly realizing that there really was no sun today.
She hadn’t noticed before and had assumed she’d been basking in the sun all along.
With Jiang Cheng’s reminder, Liu Qing shifted her position from sleeping on the balcony lounge chair to sleeping on the living room sofa.
Watching Liu Qing sprawl out in such a carefree manner, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but recall why he had hired her in the first place.
At first, he was afraid Liu Qing would see him as a ruthless boss, so he had to “pacify” her vigorously.
Now, it seemed the pacification worked quite well.
He had managed to spoil the hardworking snake, who had come to the Human Race to strive for more.
Now, Snake did nothing but eat, drink, and sleep.
No work, no chores, no signs of practicing cultivation.
Compared to Snake, Cao Wang had become a model of diligence!
This won’t do; he had to find something for her to do.
Jiang Cheng thought.
However, before finding tasks, Jiang Cheng had to ask Liu Qing about her own wishes.
If Liu Qing didn’t want to work and preferred to laze about, Jiang Cheng would have to continue supporting her like this.
What else could he do?
Spend some money, so be it. After all, keeping Liu Qing wasn’t expensive, and it was better than making a powerful figure angry, right?
“Liu Qing, do you want to work? Shall we go and ask He if she has any suitable tasks that we can do?”
Upon hearing “work,” Liu Qing immediately lifted her head.
Her eyes sparkled.
She looked at Jiang Cheng with a face full of anticipation.
“Sure.”
Liu Qing wanted to work.
She was an ambitious snake and couldn’t keep lazing around in Jiang Cheng’s house, living off him without contributing.
