You and I know what’s going on here, who else is going to find out!” Xu Mu said with a calm and playful smile.

To control the power of loose cultivators and maintain their own rule, and to monopolize the exorbitant profits of Foundation Establishment Pills, Tianhe Sect has a rule that no individual can refine Foundation Establishment pills.

Only powers like Liyang Sect, which are under the influence of Tianhe Sect, are capable of training Pill Masters who can craft Foundation Establishment Pills.

Foundation Establishment Pills differ from other pills. Nearly 99% of cultivators must consume them to breakthrough, inevitably.

Those who are less talented usually have to take even more!

The demand for Foundation Establishment pills is therefore considerable!

However, the quantity refined by major sects each year is quite limited.

After satisfying members of their own sect, there’s hardly much left, which is a key reason why it’s so rare for loose cultivators to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

You can’t even buy them if you have Spirit Stones!

But as the saying goes, where there’s a will there’s a way!

Some always risk it all to make a substantial profit.

As long as they’re not discovered, they’re safe.

Xu Mu only uses them himself, without selling, so the risk isn’t significant.

Why should I trust you? What if you inform on me?

Chi Feiyan look at him playfully.

Am I, a person of good character, not trustworthy to Friend Chi?

When it comes to life and death! Even my parents, I wouldn’t trust!” Chi Feiyan playfully chuckled.

Friend Chi, you’re being overly dramatic! It’s merely a pill recipe, if you don’t want it, I can find someone else!” Xu Mu said indifferently.

On this earth, money talks, albeit with a little inconvenience.

Oh don’t be so quick to leave! What’s the rush, Friend Xu!

Chi Feiyan’s mouth corner raised, revealing small dimples, her vanished eyes playfully observing, gently tapping her fingers, seemingly deep in thought.

Xu Mu, in silence, rhythmically tapped his fingers on the table, patiently waiting for her to finish thinking.

I can give you the pill recipe, and I don’t require a single Spirit Stone in return!”

With such generosity, Friend Chi, now I dare not accept.

Xu Mu, swirling the wine cup around his finger.

Have you always been this timid?” Chi Feiyan gave him a disgruntled look, capturing an unprecedented charm.

I am just cautious.

Xu Mu held the wine cup still, the liquid inside undisturbed,

Friend, please name your terms!

I hope you’d give me a bottle once it’s successfully refined! ’’ Chi Feiyan retracted her charm, addressed him straightly.

My friend, you really dream big.

Xu Mu shook his head in disbelief.

Foundation Establishment Pills are sold per piece, each can spark a frenzy, but you, talking about bottles, just like Fasting Pills.

What if i come with the pills?”

Chi Feiyan suddenly leaned forward, towards him, her eyes as enticing as a clear autumn pond.

Not enough.

Xu Mu was unfazed.

He has seen everything, Chi Feiyan’s trifle is child’s play.

Of course, I know it’s nor possible! So, I’ll provide the ingredients and the Spirit Stones, then you can help me refine a batch, right?”

Chi Feiyan sighed and sat back in her seat, her energy drained.,

She thought he would take mercy on her, but he was unbelievably resolute. Comparing herself with the women around him, she felt slight understanding.

Of course, that’s not a problem!

Xu Mu nodded in agreement.

Turning down Spirit Stones would be a waste.

Of course, it’s not a problem for you!” Chi Feiyan replied irritatedly. “But you’re leaving soon, what if you disappear? Where should I find you then?”

After going in circles, Friend Chi still doesn’t trust me!” Xu Mu sounded helpless.

It’s a serious matter, how can I trust you based on your words alone?

What do you want me to do, Friend Chi?

Xu Mu spread his hands out.

It’s not like his past life, where they could have signed a contract with the law to protect them.

Without the law, the only thing he could do is a verbal promise.

Chi Feiyan suddenly leaned closer to Xu Mu, and said calmly, “lean trust you, but we need to share some intimate moments’’’

Xu Mu’s eye twitched, after releasing his senses and found out there’s no ambush nearby, he spoke, “Friend Chi, you’re not joking around again, are you?”

Do I look like I am joking?

Chi Feiyan kept calm, as if she couldn’t care less about the matter.

Xu Mu paused for a moment.

It was a moment before he managed to wrap his head around the proposition.

Could it be that his charm has reached the point where women throw themselves at him?

Why?

Because you’re a good man!”

Isn’t that line supposed to be for sycophants?

Where did you get the impression that I am a good man?” Xu Mu said with a bitter smile.

At the time in White River City, you rejected my invitation for those two women. That’s when I realized it!”

There was another thing that Chi Feiyan didn’t say. She had secretly investigated Ye Yingying and the others. She knew that Xu Mu treated them extremely well, unlike most cultivators who only treated their wives and concubines as appendages.

Therefore, she knew that if she got along with Xu Mu, he would definitely keep his promise.

Xu Mu fell silent again.

He didn’t expect his previous course of action would serve such a purpose.

This move of giving both gifts and a woman was difficult for him to refuse.

Moreover, Chi Feiyan was really pretty. Her brows were like a painting and her appearance was as delightful as a picture lady.

Friend Chi, doing this, aren’t you afraid the Lv family will find out?

If the news got out, the Lv family would go mad.

He didn’t want to exterminate a Foundation Establishment Family just because of a woman.

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s words, Chi Feiyan chuckled, knowing that Xu Mu was already moved.

Indeed, not many men can resist!

Don’t worry, the patriarch of the Lu family is nearing his end. He spends his days either looking for opportunities outside or cultivating in seclusion, since I was married into the family, I had not seen him once! I sometimes wonder if he even knows of my existence!”

Hatred flickered in Chi Feiyan’s eyes.

Although she knew she was a sacrifice from the beginning, being entirely ignored, treated like air, was truly torturous.

As for the others in the Lv family, they couldn’t care less about me! They probably wish for me to die right now!”

Chi Feiyan looked at Xu Mu and said, “Are you at ease now? Don’t tell me you can’t even take this small risk!”

Of course not! Such a good deal, how can I refuse!11 Xu Mu said with a smile.

If the Lu family’s patriarch is waste, then Xu, the uncredited good Samaritan would have to step in.

However, in addition to the pill recipes, you will have to help me gather herbs!’’

This was only a deal, Xu Mu, of course, had to get his worth.

I promise you,

Chi Feiyan nodded indifferently.

Upon hearing Chi Feiyan’s response, Xu Mu immediately got up and started to unbuckle his belt.

What are you doing?

Chi Feiyan’s face changed.

Isn’t it here?

Chi Feiyan’s pretty face turned pale with anger, her teeth grinding in rage.

She stood up, handed Xu Mu a jade talisman, “Wait for my message tonight!”

After speaking, she stormed out.

Xu Mu suddenly spoke and stopped her.

Friend Chi, am I your first oner

Chi Feiyan snorted coldly.

You are the first, but you won’t be the last!

After saying that, she left through the back door without looking back.

Looks like I am quite honored!”

Xu Mu chuckled lightly and walked out the front door of the tavern.

Not long after, he coincidentally encountered a team of guards ushering a silver-haired old man towards the north of the city.

Friend Shen?

Xu Mu recognized rhe old man immediately. It was Shen Bokang, the one who had once offered a high price for his Mysterious Yuan Pill. They had even once drank tea together.

Hearing Xu Mu’s words, Shen Bokang turned back and gave an embarrassed smile with his old and weak face.

Friend Xu, long time no see!11

Shut up and move!”

A guard scolded, following with a kick that made Shen Bokang, whose spiritual powers had been sealed, stumble as if he were a normal person.

Dear friend, may I know what crime he committed?

Xu Mu gave a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills to the guard and asked. He felt there must be more to the punishment than just secretly selling pills, so he couldn’t help feeling curious.

The guard pocketed the Qi Gathering Pills, showing a little patience and gave Xu Mu a brief explanation.

The story was simple. Shen Bokang, under the premise of buying pills at high price, lured a group of greedy pill masters. He first established trust by paying high prices for the first couple of deals, and dramatically increased the purchase quantity on the third round. Then, he ran away with all the pills.

Shen Bokang had initially thought that the pill masters selling their pills would also be guilty, so they wouldn’t dare to report him. Therefore, he confidently enjoyed life in the city even after running away with the pills. However, he eventually came across a dimwit who reported him to the Liyang Sect.

As such, we have the scene in front of us.

Shen Bokang, who was nearby, looked at Xu Mu awkwardly since Xu Mu was one of his targets in the beginning.

Xu Mu didn’t react, just gave a smile and left.

Indeed, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Lucky he didn’t agree to him in the beginning. Although he is too smart to have been cheated, it was rather unpleasant.

Late at night.

Finally, a message from Chi Feiyan came from the jade talisman.

Guyang Street! Purple Stone Alley!
