Winter is the off-season for foreign trade. Since Yang Lu’s interview is coming to an end, there is no problem that Qingning Chamber of Commerce needs Yang Lu and Li Qingning to deal with in person for a whole day.

Because the door was kicked by Butler Zhou, Li Qingning's office was temporarily unable to stay. On a snowy night, it was the most comfortable to sit in the reception room of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce around the fire to keep heating.

Although the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has a civil constant temperature immortal array, the heating effect of this type of civil immortal array is not ideal. In the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, spiritual energy is the most precious resource between heaven and earth. According to the rules established by major sects, there is an upper limit for the use of civil spiritual energy in each region. The general principle is to be distributed according to the total output of spiritual energy in the local world.

As for how to calculate the "produce output of spiritual energy in heaven and earth", there is actually no quantitative conclusion in the cultivation world.

However, according to the second law of cultivation, the law of conservation of spiritual energy proposed by the cultivation economist Bo Nanke during his lifetime, the total annual output of spiritual energy in heaven and earth is a fixed number. If the consumption of spiritual energy in a certain place exceeds the output, the local spiritual energy will become thinner.

According to this theory, the concentration of spiritual energy in the cultivation world of Jiuzhou today is lower than that in ancient and medieval periods, which is because of the excessive number of cultivators and immortal arrays.

Haiya City has a large population, and compared with the sparsely populated mountains and rivers, the supply of spiritual energy is more tight. Within the sphere of influence of the Haiya system, not only is it a very serious crime to use spiritual energy in excess, but the operation efficiency of all civilian immortal arrays must be deliberately reduced to maintain the sustainable use of local spiritual energy.

Not only that, if the Haiya Sect finds that the concentration of spiritual energy in Haiya City has dropped significantly, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the cultivators of Haiya Sect, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion will also issue the "Emergency Restriction Order for Civilian Spiritual Aura", temporarily suspending the operation of the civilian immortal formations throughout the city until the concentration of spiritual energy in Haiya City returns to normal.

After the promulgation of the "Emergency Restriction Order for Civil Aura", not only will the constant temperature immortal array be forced to be closed, but even the spiritual street lights used for lighting will be turned off, which will cause great inconvenience to the nightlife of Haiya urban residents. Therefore, the entry into effect of the "Emergency Restriction Order for Civil Aura" is also nicknamed "pull-up air restriction" by Haiya urban residents.

Although the civil constant temperature immortal array of Qingning Chamber of Commerce is only a shrinking version, it is already a symbol of Li Qingning's status. Many ordinary chambers of commerce and teahouses with insufficient background cannot even apply for the construction license of this shrinking constant temperature immortal array, and they will have to close their doors in winter.

If it is during the day, the constant temperature immortal array of Qingning Chamber of Commerce can barely maintain a relatively comfortable indoor temperature, but when time comes to night, it obviously shows signs of being unable to do so.

As a cultivator, Li Qingning was no longer afraid of the cold and heat, but after sitting for a long time, he would inevitably feel a little cold. So Li Qingning ordered Murong to raise a fire in the room and make the entire reception room warm.

Looking at the snow under the fire outside the window frame, even Yang Lu, who has experienced various high-end enjoyment on the earth, couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: the warm room and the cold winter night have always been the most perfect match!

The three of them sat around the fire.

With two beauties, Li Qingning and Murong, as they accompany each other, even if they just talk about gossip, playing poker, novels and stories, and strange stories, or just flirt with the works of ancient cultivation economists, it will look particularly warm and comfortable.

Although Li Qingning is a famous lady in the cultivation world, she is also a young girl who is only 22 years old. After spending time together, her relationship with her two peers, Yang Lu and Murong, is naturally quite good. After working, the three of them can often get together, play cards, tell stories, and talk about family matters.

At first, Murong was a little restrained, but because Yang Lu was very open-minded and had no mentality of being a mortal, she was inferior to others. In addition, Miss Qingning was also a person with temperament, so the atmosphere between the three was obviously much more natural than at the beginning.

Yang Lu could see that Li Qingning also enjoyed the feeling of sitting together with friends. For a chamber of commerce lady with her identity, perhaps such a warm experience is her most rare experience!

In order to pass the time, Yang Lu specially taught the two women how to play poker cards. In the Jiuzhou Cultivation World, where entertainment is relatively scarce, the playing cards introduced from the earth quickly aroused the interest of Li Qingning and Murong, and the three of them just happened to form a table of Landlords. Since the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is the biggest common topic of the three, as the topic of the card table continues to advance, the focus of everyone's discussion naturally goes closer to the economics of cultivation and sect management.

Li Qingning is from an academic family. Even a temporary craftsman like the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has all kinds of books. While Yang Lu is playing cards with the two women, he will also read the wisdom crystallization of these sages of cultivation from time to time.

At this time, the books in Yang Lu's hand were the works of Bo Nanke, a famous ancient cultivation economist.

"The Courage of Action: The End of the Second Spirit Stone Financial Crisis"

This book is a life memoir written in his later years after the ascension of Bo Nanke, a monk at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul, failed.

As the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect when the Second Spirit Stone Financial Crisis broke out, Senior Bo Nanke has achieved amazing academic achievements in many different academic fields. His omnipotent performance can be called Sir Isaac Newton of the Jiuzhou Cultivation World.

Not only was he the pioneer of the contemporary theory of "Spirit Stone Monetary Science", he personally created the Jiuzhou Monetary Alliance, the predecessor of the Spirit Stone Reserve Bank, and he was also a great cultivation scientist. Through comparative experiments, he proposed the three famous laws of cultivation in the cultivation world - the law of conservation of spiritual energy, the law of large numbers of spiritual roots, and the law of absorption efficiency of spiritual energy.

With the long lifespan of the late Nascent Soul cultivator, this senior Bo Nanke has also achieved many other strange academic achievements, such as the "Shortprint of the Cultivation Heart Method" and "The Law of Memory of the Immortal Arts and the Law of Memory of the Immortal Arts" that are used by cultivators in Jiuzhou.

Bo Nanke's failure to ascend to the Immortal Realm is also recognized as the biggest regret in the cultivation world in nearly ten thousand years.

After Li Qingning used two 3s to blow up Yang Lu and four 2s, he saw Yang Lu constantly looking through Bo Nanke's works, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Yang Lu, it seems that you like the works of Senior Bo Nanke very much!"

Seeing that he was four 2 were blown up by Li Qingning, Yang Lufeng did not change his color and threw two 4 tubes on his back: "The monetary theory of senior Bo Nanke is very interesting. The Jiuzhou Monetary Alliance he founded is indeed unique."

Seeing that Yang Lu had four 2 and two 3 were blown up by Li Qingning and two 3, Yang Lu used two 4 to manage it again, Murong didn't know how to play the cards, so he had no choice but to say "pass".

However, after hearing Yang Lu's statement, Murong couldn't help but interrupt and said, "But everyone says that President Lu Yang's attainment in cultivation and economics is the highest, but I think you have not carefully studied President Lu's works..."

At this time, Li Qingning naturally threw out two Js, controlling Yang Lu's 4, without any shame in cheating.

Yang Lu just smiled and shook his head: "I can't afford it... I don't think President Lu Yang's theoretical level is not good, but President Lu Yang's theory is very, uh... makes me feel a sense of déjà, but the theory of senior Bo Nanke is more novel and inspires me more."

It was Murong's turn to play cards again.

Looking at the two Js played by Li Qingning and the two Qs in his hand, Murong finally said, "I can't afford it." An honest person like her can no longer control this magical game!

When he heard Yang Lu praising Bo Nanke, although Li Qingning won the game, his face was obviously a little bad.

If you choose who is the greatest cultivation economist in the history of the cultivation world, there are only three recognized candidates in the cultivation world:

Ms. Ye Lun, the founder of Cultivation Economics, who established the three-primary monetary system and ended the first Lingshi financial crisis;

Senior Bo Nanke, a legendary cultivation economist who founded the Jiuzhou Monetary Alliance system and ended the second Lingshi financial crisis;

President Lu Yang, the master of cultivation economics who founded the Lingshi credit currency system and ended the third Lingshi financial crisis.

According to the mainstream view of the cultivation world today, the number of people who support President Lu Yang should be the largest, followed by the number of people who support Bo Nanke, and the number of people who support Ye Lun is relatively small, and there is a significant gap with the number of people who support the first two.

Seeing that Yang Lu focused most of his energy on studying Bo Nanke's works, both women obviously agreed that he was the "Bo Nanke School".

Li Qingyang is the assistant and registered disciple of President Lu Yang. Li Qingning is naturally a firm supporter of the "Lu Yang Sect".

After playing the last card in his hand and unilaterally announced that he had won the victory, the beautiful lady immediately retorted: "President Lu Yang obtained the seven merit gold wheels, which was higher than the six merit gold wheels of senior Bo Nanke. Obviously, Tiandao also believes that President Lu is better. Not to mention, Senior Bo Nanke failed to ascend in his entire life, but Senior Lu Yang achieved the position of immortals."

Yang Lu immediately made a gesture of surrendering, and then took the initiative to wash the cards for the two ladies, explaining: "Governor Lu is indeed a great cultivation economist! I just said that the theory of senior Bo Nanke inspired me more and did not mean to belittle President Lu. If we talk about his achievements in the cultivation world of Jiuzhou, President Lu would naturally be greater. After all, in addition to establishing the Lingshi Reserve Bank, he also prepared the Wuliang Sword Sect Stock Exchange and the Cultivation Financial Supervision Committee. Senior Bo Nanke is not as far away as him!"

Yang Lu said the truth.

Although President Lu Yang's theory of cultivation economics is more advanced and his contributions are more prominent, these theoretical achievements of President Lu Yang are highly similar to those of the earth and have no inspiration for Yang Lu.

On the contrary, the Jiuzhou Monetary Alliance System founded by Bo Nanke made him feel illuminated.

He originally thought that the Jiuzhou Monetary Union system was a mutated version of the Bretton Woods system, but after careful study, he found that its underlying principles were completely different from the Bretton Woods system on the earth.

Considering that Li Qingning and Murong have no foundation in "Spirit Stone Monetary Science", Yang Lu did not explain this in depth, and it was just a perfunctory attitude of "the young lady said everything right."

Seeing Yang Lu take the initiative to admit defeat, the beautiful lady suddenly smiled charmingly: "I continue to call me a landlord... I knew that you also support President Lu Yang! I have grown up listening to President Lu's stories since I was a child, and I don't know if I can still achieve the same achievements as President Lu in my life."

Yang Lu forced himself to resist the urge to complain and was embarrassed to attack Li Qingning's enthusiasm.

If she talks about theoretical level, Yang Lu believes that she is not much inferior to that President Lu. If Li Qingning is willing to study the knowledge she has taught as seriously as Murong, her future achievements may not be as good as her predecessors. Just looking at Li Qingning's learning attitude in the past three days and two days, Yang Lu feels that it will be difficult for her to realize her lofty ideals.

Through this period of time, Yang Lu has already learned a lot about Li Qingning's background.

Li Qingning has a rare cultivation qualification with the best wind and spiritual roots. He started to enter the immortal gate at the age of 16. In just over three years, he practiced from the lowest level of qi-induced energizing realm to the great perfection of qi refining.

She has not advanced to the Foundation Establishment Period in the past two years, not because she cannot afford the Foundation Establishment Pill, but according to the Heavenly Dao Agreement signed by the seven major sects of Jiuzhou, every Qi Refining Cultivator must participate in at least one extraterritorial battlefield trial before she is eligible to continue to advance to the Foundation Establishment Period.

Therefore, Li Qingning must wait until the extraterritorial trial is completed by the end of this year before he can obtain the qualification to continue his practice, otherwise he will bear the terrible punishment for breach of contract.

With this kind of spiritual root qualification, even if Li Qingning does not cultivate merit, it will not be a problem to go to the Golden Elixir stage in a step-by-step manner. If he has a little bit of merit, he may be able to look forward to the Nascent Soul Realm. I don’t know what kind of stimulation this young lady was, so she had to run away from home to run the chamber of commerce!

Li Qingning didn't know that Lu Yang was secretly complaining about him. She was already addicted to Fighting Landlord and could not extricate herself.

Staring at the cards in her hand, the lady's beautiful face turned red with excitement, and she couldn't help but rub her fair hands. Seeing her unconcealed eyebrows, Yang Lu knew that she had caught a handful of good cards without guessing.

Sure enough, Li Qingning raised his hand and played a bunch of cards this time: "Shunzi, 345678910J, does anyone want it?"

Murong hesitated for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "This is 45678910JQ, I'm considering it!"

However, Li Qingning did not continue to cheat this time, but directly threw out four cards with domineering power: "So what? Four 2 are blown up!"

Seeing this, Yang Lu and Murong said they could not afford it.

Li Qingning immediately smiled proudly and threw four cards out of his hand again.

"Three A's bring 5, and I have two cards left. If you can't afford it, I will win this!"

Seeing Li Qingning's face full of victory, Yang Lu smiled and said, "I've exploded 4 K's for you!"

"Why do you have a bomb in your hand?"

"Luck, just luck!"

When Li Qingning saw that the card he would win was gone, he immediately became anxious: "Is 4 K awesome? I won't blow it up for you!"

Yang Lu said speechlessly: "You just told me that two 3s can blow me four 2s, so I accepted it, but now, you said that one 3 can blow me four Ks, can you still play this?"

Li Qingning's face turned red, but he still refused to admit defeat and said, "Then you can also use a 4-tube to my 3!"

"I'm not stupid. Do you think I don't know that your last card is King Zhang?"

Seeing that Yang Lu ruthlessly exposed the fact that he was cheating, Li Qingning even forgot that he was a cultivator and rushed up to the ground. He suppressed Yang Lu with his body and said unyieldingly: "I asked someone to do this deck of cards for you. Can't you play according to my rules?"

The temperature next to the stove was quite comfortable. Yang Lu and Li Qingning were both thin clothes. They were separated by two thin cloths. Their bodies conveyed warm body temperatures to each other. Feeling the elasticity of Li Qingning's long legs, and the feeling of being close to her when she spoke, Yang Lu couldn't help but tease: "No objection, of course no objection! There is an old saying in our hometown that appearance is justice. Miss, you are simply the embodiment of justice!"

Hearing Yang Lu's teasing, Li Qingning finally realized that her posture was very indecent. She rolled and crawled away from Yang Lu's body as if she was burned. The soft touch disappeared, which made Yang Lu smack his lips regretfully.

If it were placed on Earth, a girl of Li Qingning's age would probably even be able to say pornographic jokes.

Looking at Li Qingning's white and tender face with drunken flushing, she couldn't speak for a long time. How could this be a female boss of the chamber of commerce? Or a pure girl who had no experience in the world!
