Chapter 223 Let's try it out
The other party replied to the message very quickly.
"I will report to the deputy leader immediately, please wait a moment."
A short while later, the other party replied with another message.
"Ms. Jian, the Vice Leader would like to invite you to dinner at Meixiangfang at 6:30 tonight. Would that be convenient for you?"
Jian Ning: "Of course it's convenient."
Meixiangfang is a place that ordinary people cannot go to.
Rumor has it that only the highest-ranking officials in the northern part of the city can go there, as it offers extremely high privacy and security, with armed special agents standing guard at the entrance.
Six p.m.
Jian Ning was picked up and put into a car, which drove towards Meixiangfang.
From the moment you enter the gate, someone checks your identification.
If it were her a year ago, she would probably be terrified.
Since she started cultivating immortality, Jian Ning's physical and mental health have improved significantly.
After getting off the bus, someone led the way.
Jian Ning never expected to see such Suzhou-style garden architecture in the northern part of the city, exuding elegance and uniqueness.
As Jian Ning entered the room, she saw a table full of delicious food already laid out on the table.
The deputy leader smiled kindly, "Ningning, you've arrived."
Jian Ning nodded slightly and greeted him politely, "Hello, Vice Leader."
“Don’t be so formal.” The deputy leader patted the stool next to her. “Come sit here, let’s eat and chat.”
The other party's attitude made Jian Ning feel more relaxed.
It felt like having a meal with my grandma at home.
She sat down, looked at the dishes on the table, and almost instinctively blurted out, "These are all my favorite dishes."
After she finished speaking, she belatedly realized that she might seem greedy, and glanced awkwardly at the deputy leader.
But the deputy leader looked at her with gentle eyes and a slight smile on his lips: "Eat more if you like it. If you think it's delicious, come over whenever you want to eat it in the future."
It would feel completely different if Jian Ning came alone.
Having been in society for so long, she naturally knew how to be polite. There was no need to rush to refuse something that wouldn't harm her, so she replied, "Okay."
After the vice leader started eating, Jian Ning picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
Both of them were about half full when a waiter came up and poured them two cups of tea.
The tea smelled wonderful, and a comforting aroma immediately filled the room.
The deputy leader slowly spoke and asked, "Ningning, what is it that you said you wanted to report?"
Jian Ning wiped her mouth before speaking seriously, "Vice Leader, it's like this..." After briefly explaining the past few days of weapon crafting guidance, she mainly mentioned that she now had spirit stones and could buy things from the system shop, such as Marrow Cleansing Pills.
After listening, the deputy leader nodded and asked, "So, that Marrow Cleansing Pill can allow ordinary people to cultivate immortality?"
Jian Ning herself only felt the Qi entering her body after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
However, she cannot guarantee 100% certainty about things that have not been tested.
"Vice Leader, we need to try it out before we can be sure."
The deputy leader looked thoughtful; after all, this was tantamount to using people as test subjects, and no one knew what the consequences would be.
She had been busy with government affairs, but because of Jian Ning, she had read several cultivation novels and had a general understanding of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
But novels are novels, and this is reality; the situation may not be the same.
"Shall I send someone to try it out first?"
Jian Ning nodded. "Okay."
The deputy leader immediately made a contact, and soon after, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
"Enter."
Liu Qiang pushed open the door and walked in, placing his hands respectfully in front of him.
"Vice Leader, Miss Jane."
The deputy leader explained the situation, stating that the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill on ordinary people were still unknown and needed to be tested. After finishing, he asked, "Are you willing?"
Liu Qiang clenched his hands tightly together. After listening, his eyes were filled with excitement, and even his tone of voice couldn't help but reveal his joy.
“Vice Leader, I am willing, of course I am willing.”
If he really had the chance to step into the realm of cultivation, he would be more than willing to accept it.
He's been helping the vice leader find suitable cultivation novels lately, and he's read quite a few himself.
Moreover, he had personally witnessed Jian Ning's supernatural abilities.
His yearning for cultivating immortality far outweighed his fear of the unknown possibilities.
Jian Ning immediately used spirit stones to exchange for a Marrow Cleansing Pill in the system shop.
A dark brown round ball appeared in her palm. She opened her palm and saw that it was the same recipe, the same taste, and the same size.
It looks like a super-sized version of Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
She handed it to Liu Qiang.
"Thank you." Liu Qiang took it, his fingers trembling, and asked, "Should I chew it directly?"
Jian Ning remembered that she had taken the medicine with water. Just in case, she wanted to keep these variables under control, so she said, "Take it with water."
Liu Qiang picked up the teacup next to him, poured himself a cup, and drank it.
This large black pill didn't cause the obstructive feeling I usually experience when taking medicine. Instead, it felt like a clear and powerful energy was flowing into my body, bringing a moment of comfort.
