If you are lucky enough to be reborn, develop first and then take revenge.

Xiao Muyu originally wanted to give up the big black horse to Fu Junmeng, but Shui Yuehua took the lead and pushed Fu Junmeng onto her white horse. Then he stared at Xiao Muyu.

Xiao Muyu reluctantly gave her the big black horse and led the way.

The group of people did not rush into the city until it was almost dark. Fu Junmeng took the two of them to a larger inn in the city, and then returned to Fu's house.

It was rare that he didn't have to sleep in the open air, so Xiao Muyu started to practice after having a good meal. In recent days, he felt that the last acupuncture point of the third meridian was about to be completed, so the speed of cultivation could be improved a lot. Shui Yuehua took a bath and had a good sleep.

The next day, the two people went out to find out the news. Xiao Muyu went directly to the Li Family Pharmacy to check. It is indeed a good place. There is an endless stream of people coming to see the doctor, and most of them are ordinary people. Even if there are occasionally a few practitioners, they will line up obediently without any impatience.

Some people are poor, and doctors will even give away medicines for free without charge. Xiao Muyu sighed in her heart, this is worthy of the reputation of hanging the pot to save the world. Just like that, how can he fight against a businessman who smells like copper!

Xiao Muyu drank tea at a teahouse outside the pharmacy for a whole day, and even the teahouse owner felt there was something wrong.

"Sir, do you have anything to do with Li's Pharmacy?" the boss asked after a long hesitation.

Xiao Muyu looked up at the boss and continued drinking tea.

"The Li family has a good reputation for treating diseases and saving people. I heard that someone wants to deal with them, so I came here to take a look."

When the boss heard that he was not a bad person, he laughed and said: "The Li family is a practicing family. They have magical powers. Ordinary people can't provoke them."

Xiao Muyu turned back to look at her boss: "Are you saying that the Li family can all practice cultivation?"

"Yeah, it's not a secret."

"Oh, then I'm relieved. Has anyone caused trouble recently?"

"A few days ago, there was a troublemaker who was thrown into the lake by a doctor."

"Shopkeeper, how long have you been working here? Do you know who the Li family has offended?"

The boss looked around and found no one to whisper.

"The Li family has been doctors for generations, saving lives and healing the wounded. In the entire Wenshan City, only the Cao family regards them as enemies! They often send people to cause trouble."

"The Cao family is in the elixir business. The Li family is a medical clinic. It not only sells medicine but also treats diseases, and the prices are low. Why is the Cao family doing so well?"

"Sir, most of the people saved by the Li family are poor people and they don't make any money. The ones sold by the Cao family's Yao Wang Tower are only patronized by people with supernatural powers, so they naturally make money."

"What about the Li family? Aren't there people with supernatural powers who come to see the doctor and buy medicine?"

"This little old man doesn't understand. Maybe there is something in their house that the supernatural person wants."

Xiao Muyu's eyes brightened slightly, yes, the Cao family must have a competing product that the Li family did not have, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago due to the pressure of word-of-mouth and price.

The next day, Xiao Muyu came to Yaowang Tower in disguise. This is the Cao family's largest elixir trading place. You can smell the aroma of medicine when you step into Yaowang Tower. A young and beautiful woman wearing thin clothes saluted Xiao Muyu. "What elixir does our guest need?"

Xiao Muyu looked at the woman's thin clothes. Although it was not exposed, the looming skin was indeed very lethal. Xiao Muyu calmed down and said, "I'm going to go on a long journey, so prepare some elixirs in advance. What is the elixir you are most proud of here?"

The woman smiled and said, "Yaowang Tower has everything you need. It just depends on what you want."

Unable to ask, Xiao Muyu wandered around the hall to see what pills others were buying. After looking around, I found that the elixirs here are indeed quite comprehensive. Although Xiao Muyu didn't understand alchemy, she understood it. The entire Medicine King Tower is involved in most of the elixirs used during the Qi refining and foundation building period. In particular, the most popular Qi Condensation Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills during the Qi Refining Period are both available for sale. In addition, there are many healing elixirs, although they cannot cure the disease, they can still save one's life when fighting outside.

However, Yaowang Tower sells third-level elixirs. It can be seen that the level of the alchemist recruited is at the second level. Xiao Muyu noticed that the little girl had been following him when he entered the door, so he said to the little girl.

"Prepare ten bottles of Qi Condensation Pills and three Foundation Establishment Pills for me."

The little girl was stunned for a moment and said: "Sir, the Qi Condensation Pill is a first-level pill with ten pills in a bottle and a low-grade spirit stone worth five dollars each. We have sufficient reserves of these and can buy them at any time. But there are not so many Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Oh? How many can I buy?"

"Sir, it's not easy to collect the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so we are selling them in limited quantities. Each person can only buy one. The price is [-] low-grade spiritual stones."

Xiao Muyu paid for ten bottles of Qi Condensation Pills and a Foundation Establishment Pill. Although these things are of no use to him, he still puts on a complete show, after all, he is pretending to be a monk in the late stage of Qi Condensation. If you don't buy something, you will be suspected.

Back at the inn, Xiao Muyu was thinking about strategies against the Cao family. When it was getting dark, Shui Yuehua also came back. She went directly into Xiao Muyu's room and asked, "How was the investigation? Did you find anything?"

Xiao Muyu shook her head, "We haven't found a breakthrough point yet."

Shui Yuehua smiled and said: "You don't know how to do business, how can it be that simple. However, I did find a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"The Li family and the Cao family will need escorts to follow and protect them when purchasing medicinal materials. However, they often don't have enough manpower. So they will hire a local mercenary team to escort them. I just happened to find out that there is a mercenary team that does not get along with the Cao family. Listen. It is said that it was because they were robbed on the road, and the medicinal materials that the mercenary group fought so hard to protect were damaged by the Cao family on the road, and they refused to pay the full reward. This made the mercenary group, which was already severely weakened, very angry, so they became enemies."

"A mercenary team won't have much impact."

"It's not small either. There are only seven legal mercenary teams in Wenshan City. This team that the Cao family offended is the most reputable and the strongest. They have a strong say in the mercenary circle. There are currently three mercenary groups. Refuse to accept the escort mission from the Cao family."

"Aren't there three more?"

Shui Yuehua rolled her eyes at him, "There are three more, and you won't try to persuade them? The strongest of these mercenary teams is the ones who have completed their foundation building."

Xiao Muyu smiled and said: "It has to be you!"

Shui Yuehua gave an idea. The Cao family purchases medicinal materials several times a month, and they have to go out every five or six days. Let Xiao Muyu take away the remaining three mercenary teams. It is best to hire them for a long trip.

Xiao Muyu came to the Tianshui Mercenary Group's station the next day. This was one of the three mercenary groups still cooperating with the Cao family. The yard is very wide, with a ring in the middle. There are many weapons of various types lying around.

There were people around the yard who were training themselves. When they saw Xiao Muyu appeared, they stopped their hands and stared at him. Xiao Muyu asked directly: "Who are you talking to? Let's talk about a business deal!"
