"Business has been slow recently, so this is all I can give you. There will be more next month!" Shang Huan looked very happy.
Chen Mu's chest suddenly felt tight.
This is not enough, I should put it on, right?
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Mu finally calmed down and sighed: "The business written in the criminal law is really very profitable!"
It’s a pity that I can’t take it.
I didn't do anything, so how could I get any dividends? This is Shang Huan's life-saving money!
"This fat guy has learned how to manage upwards!"
If I accept it out of greed, even if I don't protect Shang Huan, I will protect this source of wealth.
"It's not safe after all." Chen Mu sighed.
The area near Yingchou Cliff was cleared by Sun Jian, so there aren't so many cultivators there.
Chen Mu guessed that the goods sold by Shang Huan and other similar merchants were all transported to Liulian Mountain!
If this goes on for a long time, the other hospital will definitely have to investigate and manage it.
"So many white jade coins!" Chen Mu's face was distorted with heartache.
If I didn't have this huge amount of white jade money, I would dare to drink bowl after bowl of Hui Yuan Tang!
"I can't look at it anymore." Chen Mu warned himself.
But when he thought about the fifteen or sixteen thousand dollars worth of white jade he had just spent in the afternoon, his heart ached even more.
It’s all Shang Huan’s fault!
How dare this fat guy test me with white jade!
The Seven Souls Return to their Origin The Seven Souls Return to their Origin…
Shang Huan, who was happily describing his thrilling smuggling business, suddenly fainted.
The six brothers and sisters of Wushan who lived not far away were not spared either. Chen Mu gave them a collective coma package.
If I'm not feeling well, you won't feel comfortable either!

Chapter 355 Giant Spirit
"I don't even dare to take the white jade that I have. What a coward!" Chen Mu muttered with a look of regret on his face.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Condensing the Acupoint is more important after all."
The Sun family is still looking for me openly and secretly.
If I were implicated by Shang Huan and others, I would definitely be investigated.
Just like my neighbor Liu Hongyang, who was detained in Yuquan Mountain and repeatedly interrogated for half a year just because he was suspected.
“Then all we can do is run away.”
The key is that you may not be able to run.
Judging from Liu Hongyang’s experience, Sun Jian attached much more importance to the gourd sword box than one might imagine.
Chen Mu frowned and sat on the couch in the secret room, frowning: "We can't contact Shang Huan and the others anymore, and if there is a problem, we must deal with it in time!"
……
On the west side of Yingchouya Mountain, there is the Inspection Court.
Inside a small building with black tiles, gray windows and white walls.
Deputy Mayor Zhao Shaoyuan sat by the window on the second floor. After a long while, he said calmly, "That business can't be done anymore."
The chief steward Li Dechao standing behind him changed his expression and said, "Captain, we got nearly 50,000 white jades last month. Are you really not going to do it?"
Zhao Shaoyuan frowned slightly: "Stop it!"
"Du Yuan, who is blocking our way to wealth?!" Li Dechao's face was full of ruthlessness.
Zhao Shaoyuan turned around and glared at him: "Why, do you still want to cause trouble for Elder Hu?"
"Elder Hu from the top of the mountain?"
Li Dechao's neck suddenly shrank, but there was still an unwilling and tentative look on his face.
"We are just trading with the local mountain people. This is a manifestation of our branch's integration into the local power group in Dongling."
"Isn't Elder Hu...interfering too much?"
Zhao Shaoyuan glanced at the other party and said, "The situation in Liulian Mountain is getting worse and worse."
"It used to be considered a trade, but now it's aiding the enemy."
"Stop it as soon as possible."
Li Dechao could only nod reluctantly.
"Don't be confused." Zhao Shaoyuan warned: "Elder Hu asked me to catch a few examples, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, do you want to be the chicken?"
“I dare not, I dare not…” Li Dechao shook his head repeatedly.
Immediately, his eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "The elder asked you to catch these smugglers, and the seized proceeds..."
Zhao Shaoyuan's lips curled up slightly: "Finally, you are a little smarter."
Li Dechao was immediately overjoyed: "No wonder you asked me to suppress the report from Lu the Butcher and others."
"I was thinking before, those people are trying to steal our business, how can we just indulge them so easily? Haha, it turns out that..."
Zhao Shaoyuan nodded with a smile: "This business is ultimately on the line, so of course we have to prepare a few more scapegoats."
"Besides, pigs and rabbits are valuable only when they are fat."
"The mayor is very wise!" Li Dechao was full of admiration.
"Prepare the men and take action against those gangs together. We can't alert them and let them escape."
"Find out all the people involved, find out the white jade money they have hidden, and most importantly, find out to whom and where they sell the goods." Zhao Shaoyuan pointed at Li Dechao with his right index finger and gave detailed instructions.
"Once the storm is over, we can get on with it with these ready-made opportunities!"
"Haha! Du Yuan still thinks far-sightedly!" Li Dechao laughed.
……
Time flies, and more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather is getting cooler, and the green hills are turning a little yellow.
On this clear and crisp autumn day.
Chen Mu sat in front of the window of the wooden building, looking at the trickling waterfall outside the window with a solemn expression.
With a serious expression on his face, he carefully placed his hands on his stomach and felt it carefully. Slowly, his eyes opened wider and wider.
"Why did you get fat?!"
I don't know when, he had a circle of fat on his belly!
He was a fat man in his previous life and it took him a lot of effort to lose weight successfully.
Now that I have traveled through time, how can I...
Chen Mu looked dejected: "Don't they say that cultivators consume a lot of energy and can eat whatever they want?"
From the beginning of practicing the body shape training technique, he has never had body shape anxiety.
But now that he had developed magical powers, he started to gain weight instead.
"All in all, this body is only 28 years old. Why is it that I'm getting fat?" Chen Mu took a big gulp of the Huiyuan Soup with vanilla ice cream flavor, his face full of unwillingness.
"The Huangquan General Principles don't have this side effect."
Sun Wuhuan is indeed fat, but Sun Laogui is as thin as a piece of firewood.
"Huiyuan Soup?" Chen Mu looked at the wooden cup in his hand.
He now understood that the reason he gained weight was because he ate too much.
"Unfortunately, the time for Condensation Training has reached its limit."
The Condensation Phase transforms the body and mind, and also consumes the body's Qi and blood as well as the strength of the mind and spirit.
Now my qi and blood are sufficient, but it will take time to recover my mental strength.
After all, what Qipo Guiyuan absorbed was foreign, so it was fine to use it for emergency purposes. Chen Mu didn't dare to use it to build a divine orifice.
"Blindly increasing the intensity of Huangquan's general principles training might damage your mind."
"How about reducing the amount of Hui Yuan Tang?"
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Mu shook his head.
What if I don’t make up for it and become deficient?
"It's better to move more and burn some energy." Chen Mu concentrated on the jade seed.
There is a third layer of mesh ball made of silver thread stars outside the divine orifice, which completes two-sevenths of the lower three sets of divine orifice talismans.
Chen Mu looked towards the mist outside the jade seed.
Seven white jade pearls, three large and four small, float in the gray mist.
With a thought, a familiar talisman was pulled into the jade seed.
"Giant Spirit God..."
He had previously dragged this talisman into the jade seed in order to fool Sun Chengye.
But after using it, because he was busy cultivating the Qi Condensation Technique and had no time to practice, Chen Mu put the talisman back intact.
"Sun Chengye said that this secret technique consumes a lot of resources, and the more resources you invest, the stronger it becomes."
"This is a great way to increase your strength and lose weight at the same time. It's time to practice it."
Giant Spirit God!
