As a person in the world, Mu Lao has always had a bad impression of these big families in the Imperial Capital.
In these big clans, it’s okay for the clan members to be arrogant and domineering. They also often monopolize resources and make huge profits, making it difficult for people to embark on the martial arts.
Because of this, Mu Lao had repeatedly opposed the powerful families. After receiving the invitation from the Wuyuan Academy, he happily came to serve as the vice president.
Originally, he thought that he would never interact with people from aristocratic families in his life.
But he didn't expect to meet Chu Li as an exception.
Looking at the thin young man in front of him, Mu Lao couldn't help but smile, picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine.
The reason why he fell in love with Chu Li was naturally because he cherished his talents, but that alone was not enough to make him change his attitude.
He really fell in love with Chu Li because of his character and character.
In fact, the Imperial Martial Arts Academy did not prohibit the children of major forces from participating, and even actively invited them, but no one came. In other words, Chu Li's identity was actually a scarce resource in the Martial Arts Academy.
He could rely on his status to become a guest of the martial arts academy and get a lot of resources for free.
But he didn't do this. Instead, he devoted himself to training, competed fairly, and used martial arts to make friends.
Over the past few years, he has gained quite a reputation in the martial arts academy, and even the dean has taken notice of him.
"This child's future is limitless, but he didn't expect that the Chu family would be so mean and ruthless, abandoning his own son and instead treating his adopted son as a treasure!"
"Humph, the head of the Chu family is really blind and stupid!"
"Originally, he thought that his life-defying body would be improved after he obtained the Martial God Bone, but now.........It seems that I have to think of a solution."
Pretending to glance at Chu Li casually, Mu Lao thought about it secretly, then raised his head and cursed with a smile:
"Mr. Chu, do you have something to do with me this time? Tell me, what do you want to steal from me?"
Hearing this, Chu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Indeed, the fact that he has been able to practice martial arts normally in the past few years has something to do with the pills Mu Lao got.
Thinking about it carefully, he really owes Mu Lao a lot.
"Mu Lao, actually I have to go out to slay demons recently, and I want some Qi Condensation Pills to maintain my body. I wonder if I can exchange them with points?"
"Yes, yes. Mu Lao stroked his beard and frowned:"But the problem is that Qi Condensing Pill, I don't have it anymore.""
"there is none left?"
Hearing this, Chu Li opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his face. The reason is also very simple.
Because this Qi Condensing Pill is actually a relatively unpopular pill. Its effect is very limited. It is to make the person who takes it even Even if you are seriously injured, you can still concentrate your energy and fight for three minutes.
In a critical situation, this energy condensation pill may be of some use, but most of the time it is useless in this martial arts academy where all pills require points to redeem, and few people are willing to redeem them. This kind of elixir, coupled with the fact that it is unlucky to carry it, is why almost no one wants it. But this useless elixir has a miraculous effect on Chu Li, which can keep him strong for three minutes.
For the unconscious Chu Li, it was a miracle medicine.
However, why was this Qi Condensation Pill that almost no one wanted suddenly gone?
"Mu Lao, this Qi Condensing Pill is rarely replaced, why is it gone this time?"
Chu Li asked doubtfully, Mu Lao frowned and said:
"The reason is actually simple. The main ingredients for refining the Qi Condensing Pill are not available in the Martial Arts Academy. If you think about it carefully, it has something to do with your Chu family."
"Chu family?"
Hearing these two words, Chu Li suddenly frowned. Seeing this, Mu Lao said:
"The main ingredient for refining the Qi Condensing Pill, Ziye, comes from Yunlong Mountain. There has been a demon disaster on that mountain recently, so Ziye has been out of stock."
"Liuye Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Chu family, took this opportunity to hoard goods and raise prices wildly. The price of Ziye increased more than ten times."
"The Wuyuan has limited funds and of course will not buy Ziye at this time, so the Qi Condensing Pill is gone."
Liuye Trading Company?
Unexpectedly, it is really the Chu family!
After hearing this, Chu Li's image emerged in his mind.
As the big family behind the Martial Arts Temple, the Chu family naturally needs a lot of money to maintain operations, and the Chu family is responsible for This part consists of a large number of businesses under the Chu family, and the person who manages them all is Chu Xiaoer, the third daughter of the Chu family.
Chu Xiaoer uses the Chu family's intelligence network to run the family business prosperously. Only in this way can he have the money to buy so many precious treasures for Chu Ming.
But the irony is that Chu Xiaoer, who is so lavish on Chu Ming, only gives Chu Li a few bottles of Qi Gathering Pills even for his birthday. He didn't even say a word of blessing.
In a wealthy family, this kind of gift is just like sending a beggar away, which is completely humiliating.
But even so, Chu Li didn't blush to Chu Xiaoer. Instead, he thanked her face to face every time..
But he didn't expect that the result of forbearing again and again would be that Chu Xiaoer said that he was jealous and greedy for the Chu family's property!
Thinking of this, Chu Li felt cold, shook his head in self-deprecation, and then looked forward. Give up again
"Mu Lao, I’ll tell you the truth, this time I’m going to Yunlong Mountain to slay the demon."
"oh? Are you going to Yunlong Mountain?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Lao frowned when he heard this and said:
"The monsters that appear in Yunlong Mountain this time are not ordinary people. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Well, I also know that this trip is difficult, so I came to exchange for the Qi Condensation Pill, but since I don't have it, I'm afraid I have to form a team to go."
After saying this, Chu Li thought secretly.
Whether it is Shengwu Academy or Imperial Martial Arts Academy, they have always had demon-slaying tasks. Students are encouraged to form a team to slay demons in order to gain points. Most people do the same.
But Chu Li had always been killing monsters alone because he was worried about revealing his identity.
This was not only dangerous, but also inefficient.
But now that he had left the Chu family, he no longer needed to be so careful. It seemed that he could team up to kill one or two monsters. Not bad.
Although it may lower the system's rating, it can at least complete the task.
Chu Li thought that there was at least a guarantee, but he didn't expect that the system would stop working first.
【???】
【Lower your rating? Don’t even think about it!】
【Do you understand the value of the Peerless Martial God?】
【Ding】
【You got a new mission】
【Fellow travelers from the end of the world】
【An accident interrupted your journey of slaying demons alone. The lack of Qi Condensation Pills forced you to find a companion to go through the dangerous situation with you.
However, the reputation of Yunlong Mountain has long been spread. Who knows what kind of demon is lurking in the clouds and mist? You know, it is not easy to find a reliable companion.......】
【Mission level: one star】
【Reward: Yun Feng Step (entry)! 】
Chu Li:? ? ?
