……
Half a month later, in the evening.
The corridor outside Chen Muzhu Building.
Bai Xiuwen sat at the square table, picked up a slice of boiled pork, and tasted it in small sips from a small porcelain plate.
"The new mayor's surname is Liu?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and carefully considered the news brought by Bai Xiuwen.
"Brother, have you figured it out?" Bai Xiuwen put down the tray: "Liu Botong is indeed a member of Elder Liu Ling's clan."
"I heard that because of this person's appointment, the Sun family's Ningqiao master made a fuss in Yunding Palace. The result... hehe." Bai Xiuwen shook his head and chuckled.
Chen Mu couldn't help but look sideways.
How could such internal strife among bigwigs be spread randomly?
"Only you, senior brother, were focused on refining the elixir and didn't hear about the news." Bai Xiuwen smiled nonchalantly.
"That Sun family expert rushed into Yunding Palace aggressively, but was thrown out in the blink of an eye."
"Many people saw the other party's dejected figure flying away. How can we hide this?"
Chen Mu's brows suddenly raised.
"Elder Liu Ling... is this so arrogant?!"
Bai Xiuwen chuckled: "Elder Liu Ling is as capable as any man, and is recognized as the best person under the Taoist Master!"
Amazing.
Chen Mu was full of envy.
If I had this ability, I wouldn't have been chased by Sun Wuhuan before.
"Brother, please be careful when dealing with Deputy Dean Liu." Bai Xiuwen suddenly reminded.
"What do you mean?" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat. This person's backer is so powerful, could it be another Sun Wuhuan?
"It is said that this person is quite harsh in his actions. He has dealt with many people in the General Affairs Office within a few days of his arrival."
Strict?
Are you trying to establish your authority?
Then let’s wait a few days before visiting him.
……
Five days later, General Affairs Council.
"Greetings, Mr. Liu Du." Chen Mu clasped his fists and said respectfully to the old man with white hair and beard in front of him.
Liu Botong was a tall and strong man with a serious face that made him look intimidating without even getting angry.
"Master Chen Dan, I'm just the temporary deputy abbot, don't call me the wrong person." The old man said calmly.
Without waiting for Chen Mu to think about it, Liu Botong spoke calmly again: "Where is the Bigu Pill?"
Chen Mu quickly took out the proceeds from refining in the past month.
Liu Botong took the wooden box and began to check the bottles one by one. It took him a long time to complete the transaction.
It was half an hour later when Chen Mu left the General Affairs Office.
"Although it seems a bit harsh, even stubborn, it is actually following the rules." Chen Musong said in a breath.
It’s good to follow the rules.
It would be troublesome if there was another person like Sun Wuhuan who didn't follow the rules.
"I just don't know if I can always be so disciplined."
"But even if he has evil intentions, we are not afraid."
"Isn't it just a little bit of Taoist power? I don't care! Haha..."
With the Huangquan General Principles in hand, Taoist skills are not so important to him.
Chen Mu looked back at the General Affairs Office.
The position of the deputy governor has been replaced. The Sun family master in Yunding Palace has also been driven away. The incident of Sun Wuhuan's disappearance is over.
"Finally, I can start practicing Huangquan General Principles. Haha!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 337 Restrictions
I made up my mind to practice the Huangquan General Principles.
Chen Mu deliberately adjusted his daily routine in the next few days.
Reduce the number of pills you refine, lower the frequency of casting the Fire Cloud Curse, and stay energetic.
I also specially prepare some light food and listen to the sounds of wind and birds singing every day to calm my mind.
A few days later in the evening.
After having a dinner of both meat and vegetables that was until he was 70% full, Chen Mu washed and showered, changed into loose and dry clothes, and went into the underground secret room.
Sitting on the soft couch, enjoying the fragrance of the tranquilizing pills, Chen Mu solemnly opened the Huangquan General Principles Jade Slip.
A thin jade plate two fingers wide and forearm long, with the upper and lower ends tied together by exotic beasts to form a roll.
The first nine jade plates are engraved with golden words, which are a general summary of the Huangquan Ningqiao Method.
There are no words on the last sixty-three jade plates, but they are covered with silver star-dot patterns.
Chen Mu pointed at the first wordless jade plate with his right index finger, slowly closed his eyes, and with a thought, a trace of magic power flowed into it.
The next moment, a gentle force entered the jade seed.
The magic power that was originally floating slowly was suddenly stirred violently like the sea under a storm, and then rushed to gather near Yuan Fu.
In an instant, a hollow mesh ball was constructed with Yuanfu as the starting point.
"What a complicated talisman." Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
The most complicated Five Ghosts Moving Mountains spell talisman before was only the size of a sesame seed, but the one in front of me was the size of a quail egg.
There are a total of sixty-three similar talismans.
Just thinking about this project, Chen Mu's scalp tingled.
Sixty-three...
"It's better to put it into daily tasks and grind it slowly."
As soon as I was distracted for a moment, I heard a buzzing sound.
The hollow tennis ball shook, and its originally somewhat fragile structure suddenly dispersed and turned into a cloud of magical power.
However, the magic power that could have filled the jade seed was reduced by one tenth out of thin air.
Chen Mu's eyelids twitched.
If I lose one tenth of my mana every time I practice, isn’t this consumption... a bit too great!
He suddenly thought of Sun Wuhuan's small discussion meeting.
"Sun Wuhuan is accumulating wealth like crazy, could it be that he is doing this just to practice the Condensation Technique?"
Thinking about future expenses, Chen Mu suddenly felt a headache.
"I still need to think about the insect repellent pill."
……
On the hillside of Wuyan Mountain.
A small building in the corner of the former Yanxia Sect’s martial arts arena.
Sun Chengye was sitting at a table under the window on the second floor.
"Brother is a genius of the Sun family, and he has no shortage of secret resources. I don't believe that he coveted treasures and ignored Elder Liu's orders to break into the mountains and forests to search for treasures."
Sitting opposite the table was a patrol chief in his thirties, wearing a black patrol uniform.
"Brother Sun, what you mean is that someone is plotting against the deputy mayor?"
"The position of deputy director of the General Affairs Council is very sought-after." Sun Chengye sneered.
The black-clad steward Li Guangfu paused, lowered his head to drink tea, but did not respond.
The current deputy mayor is a member of the clan of Elder Liu Ling. He dare not intervene in the fight between the two major families in Jilong Road.
Sun Chengye twitched his lips and said in a grim tone: "You are afraid of the Liu family, but are you not afraid of my Sun family?"
Li Guangfu's face suddenly turned ugly.
"I'm not asking you to fight Liu Botong to death, what are you afraid of!" Sun Chengye snorted coldly.
"I just want to find my brother's body and bury him properly so that he can rest in peace."
Li Guangfu's expression softened: "Didn't Elder Sun find any clues before?"
Sun Chengye frowned and shook his head: "I can only be sure that my brother's body is near Wuyan Mountain."
"Then why are you looking for me..." Li Guangfu was puzzled.
I can’t find the Sun family’s Ningqiao master, so there’s nothing I can do.
"I want to know who my brother came into contact with when he came to Wuyan Mountain."
"It would be better if I knew who I have a grudge against."
"Brother is careful and decisive in his actions. The reason he left Wuyan Mountain must be that someone set up a trap to lure him away and forced him to leave." Sun Chengye said this, turning his head and squinting through the window at the Genting Palace on the top of the mountain.
"As long as we find the person who seduced us, we can follow the clues and find my brother's body."
Even if we can't find the body, we must find the Flying Sword Gourd!
That is the Sun family's heirloom, which can continuously breed flying swords and is one of the foundations of the Sun family's continued strength.
Li Guangfu's just relaxed expression suddenly became tense.
