Li Mu walked out of his residence and went to Qingxiafang City.
I will be leaving soon, and I have some things to explain to Cen Ming.
Although it was evening, the market was still lively. Most of the shops were brightly lit and opened their doors to welcome customers. The narrow roads were crowded with people, and there were a few quarrels from time to time.
After a month of absence, some changes have quietly taken place in Fangshi. Several shops at the entrance have quietly changed their signboards. The big characters "Zhangjia" are hanging under the eaves, which is very obvious.
Li Mu didn't take a few steps when a cultivator came up to him, "Senior."
It was Cen Ming. At this time, he had changed into a sapphire blue robe, and his demeanor showed a bit of grace, without any trace of the downfall of the past.
"Follow me." Li Mu said calmly, and a ray of consciousness flew out, covering the two of them.
"Hello Master Mu, why are you here today?"
Cen Ming immediately changed his title, put his hands behind his back, and followed Li Mu closely.
Li Mu glanced at him and said with a smile, "It seems that you are doing well now. How does the Zhang family treat you?"
Cen Ming put on a smile and said, "It's completely different from before. The head of the family has to discuss many things with me, and I can also decide some city affairs."
Li Mu nodded. This was pretty much what he thought. The purpose of keeping Cen Ming in the Zhang family was to help Cen Ming control the Zhang family and make the entire Zhang family and even the entire city be used by him.
The market is a good place to learn information, so seize the opportunity.
"Don't take too big a step, take your time."
Li Mu glanced around and frowned slightly, "In just one month, the Zhang family has nearly thirty more stores. There is no benefit in such a rapid annexation. Controlling the market is a long-term process. We must firmly grasp the In our hands. It cannot be solved by annexation."
Cen Ming said quickly, "Master Mu, it's not that the Zhang family is in a hurry. The Zhang family has only swallowed up a few small ones. There are also more than a dozen shops that are in a hurry to change hands. I see there are a lot of advantages to take advantage of, so I I made the decision to buy it. If Master Mu thinks it's inappropriate, should I ask the Zhang family to sell it to someone else?"
"That's right. You know more about business than me, so that's up to you. But we need to investigate why they are so eager to change hands."
Li Mu shook his head gently, "The purpose of keeping you here is not only for the Zhang family, but also to keep track of the trends in Qingxia City. Filter out the gossip in the city and the things behind the store to find out the useful ones. record it."
Cen Ming thought for a moment and nodded seriously. "I remember."
"Just remember it and learn to do it slowly." Li Mu looked around with a calm expression, "I came here to tell you that I will leave Qingxia City soon, and the next time I come will be in about a year. ”
"ah."
Cen Ming exclaimed and looked at Li Mu nervously, "Master Mu, once you leave, I'm afraid the Zhang family will treat me..."
He felt nervous, worried that if Li Mu was gone, he would go back to his old life.
He thought for a while and said, "Master Mu, why don't you let me go with you? It doesn't matter where you go or what you do."
Li Mu shook his head, his expression a bit serious, "No, you just stay here, this is where you should stay, and your talents can only be used in Fangshi."
"Oh." Cen Ming nodded, slightly hesitant.
"You don't have to worry about the Zhang family at all. It doesn't make much difference whether I leave or not. They will never dare to do anything to you. The key is you."
Li Mu smiled, took out a Naxu Ring and handed it to Cen Ming, "Take it."
Cen Ming took the Naxu Ring and took a look. He was immediately stunned and stood still.
There were many elixirs, spiritual objects, and magic weapons inside, and what was even more astonishing was that there were a hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones piled together in that sparkling crystal, which was almost the Zhang family's income for more than ten years. He had never seen such a large amount of spiritual stones before, and his hands were trembling.
"Some elixirs and spiritual objects are for you. Practice well to increase your cultivation. The fourth-level magic weapon is used for self-defense." Li Mu kept smiling, but his tone suddenly turned serious, with undeniable majesty. "As for You must use those 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones where they should be used, if you spend them carelessly..."
Cen Ming looked solemn and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Mr. Mu, I will definitely handle these spiritual stones properly."
Li Mu nodded calmly, "Seeing that you have done well in the past month, these will be used as start-up capital for you. Using the Zhang family as a starting point, help me control the market. I will only get more in the future."
"Don't worry, Lord Mu, I will do my best."
Seeing that Li Mu trusted him so much and gave him so many cultivation resources, Cen Ming suddenly felt like a scholar would die for his confidant.
Li Mu showed a satisfied look, "That's it, no more words. You said there was a black shop here, right? Take me to see it."
I will be leaving Qingxia City soon, so I can go look for things I need, as there are plenty of spiritual stones now.
Cen Ming shook his head, "Master Mu, that black shop has also left. It seems that it encountered some trouble."
"The black shop is also gone, which is a coincidence."
Li Mu pondered for a while, "Forget it. In the future, if you see any weird materials or strange elixirs, especially fifth-level ones, collect them as much as you can."
Cen Ming bowed and said, "I understand, Master Mu."
Li Mu walked around casually, then left Fangshi and walked towards the city gate exit.
His spiritual consciousness is subject to many restrictions in the city, but there will be much less restrictions on the city wall.
Qingxia City has only one entrance and one exit. The rest of the city is surrounded by thick walls, prohibiting entry and exit. This is a preparation to defend against foreigners, and it has always been this way.
Walking to the city gate, his spiritual consciousness was released without reservation. The surrounding zhenqi fluctuated and fell in Li Mu's eyes.
"The ambush is deep." Li Mu smiled.
In mid-air, four Jindan realm cultivators were hiding in the arranged formation, always paying attention to the city gate.
One of them was particularly hidden, as if a puff of smoke was hidden in the air. No one except Li Mu could see it.
Most likely it was the evil cultivator Di Jie mentioned, Ren Lihua.
And around them, there were at least four complex formations, stacked on top of each other, filled with murderous intent, all traps arranged for Li Mu.
But it is a pity that they are all illusory formations used to confuse the consciousness and mind.
With the existence of Chaoyazhu, they have no effect on Li Mu. Only the illusory formations arranged by cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm can be seen through by Chaoyazhu.
If there were attack formations such as flying swords, Li Mu might still be a little wary, but now he doesn't care and is full of confidence.
"You are the one."
Li Mu, ten miles away, nodded towards Ren Lihua from a distance.
Ren Lihua's consciousness could not pass through the city gate, but as if he had some kind of reaction, his heart suddenly palpitated and he felt a little dazed.
"Why does something feel wrong?"
"What's wrong? There is a report in the city that the boy is very arrogant and will come out tomorrow. Huh, if you tell him to come out, he won't be able to come back!"
Wu Han, who was hiding not far from Ren Lihua, had a cold light with murderous intent in his eyes.
