Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

As the saying goes, people's sense of superiority comes from comparison.

Zhao Wuming was lying here at the moment, still worrying about whether telling Chu Longtu about his exercise route might have an adverse effect on him in the future.

But when Zhao Wuming saw Pei Qingwu, who was even worse off than him, with a bruised face and unable to move forward or backward, he immediately felt balanced.

What he might pay is his own martial arts skills, as well as the risk of being targeted by Chu Longtu or other enemies in the future, but what Pei Qingwu has to pay is his own life.

Compared with martial arts and life, what is that thing?

What’s the use of martial arts if you’re dead.

This is in line with Lu Xun's window theory.

If you want to open a window, you will face opposition from others.

But if you say you want to lift the roof, and then suggest opening a window after others object, then others will develop a strange compensatory mentality.

As long as the roof isn't blown off, just opening a window doesn't seem like a big deal.

This is Zhao Wuming’s mentality at this moment.

When it comes to saving your life, nothing else matters.

As long as you save your life, the future will have endless possibilities.

Even if you are being targeted by others, at least there is still a chance of being targeted by others.

But if he lost his cultivation, he would most likely be at the mercy of others like Pei Qingwu!

Therefore, no matter what, you must preserve your own cultivation!

Zhao Wuming understood it completely, and his eyes became firm. He turned his head and looked straight at Chu Longtu, blinked resolutely, then looked at the fat man and blinked as well.

Chu Longtu understood what Zhao Wuming meant, but did not speak. Instead, he looked at the fat man.

The fat man and Zhao Wuming have been in love for so many years that they have already developed a mutual understanding. After seeing the look in Zhao Wuming's eyes, he immediately understood what he meant.

Just at this moment, Chu Longtu saw that the fat man looked at Chu Longtu seriously and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Chu, we agree to both of your conditions."

"As long as our leader's life can be saved, we will agree to pay any price."

"Make a price."

Chu Longtu raised his eyebrows, but did not speak directly. Instead, he turned his head to look at Zhao Wuming and confirmed again.

"Are you sure you agree to both the technique and the pills?"

Zhao Wuming blinked firmly again without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Chu Longtu nodded slightly and narrowed his eyes.

"In that case, it will be easy."

"I will transfer the internal energy into your meridians later. Just circulate the internal energy and move it according to your practice route. I will take care of the rest."

"As for the elixir..."

There was a hint of profound meaning in Chu Longtu's voice, and his mind involuntarily flashed through the spirit of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the descendants of Chi You whom he had met in the ruins before, as well as the words that the spirit of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady had said to him and the tasks that she had assigned to him.

After returning from the ruins, Chu Longtu was busy recuperating from his injuries, fighting with the Pei family, and looking for Luo Qingfei's whereabouts. He was busy all the way to Hedong, and never really had the chance to verify what the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's clone had said.

It was not just because he didn't have time, but because the things that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's spirit had instructed were too shocking. If one participated in it without sufficient strength, he would end up dying miserably, and being torn to pieces would not be enough to describe it.

In order to participate in it, Chu Longtu not only needs to improve his own cultivation back to the level of Hua Jin, or even to a higher level of Xiantian realm, but he also needs to find some special places and retrieve certain specific things.

Chu Longtu originally intended to let Luo Lingjun send a few top-ranked assassins to look for him, but now Luo Lingjun was leading all the top-ranked assassins to take over the power of Zhenwu Hall, and was extremely busy, so he couldn't spare any manpower.

Moreover, according to the instructions of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's clone, those places are all extremely dangerous, where people can die at any time. Even a master of the top dark energy may die directly if he goes there.

Chu Longtu didn't want to let his top killer, who was as close as a brother, do such a thing that completely relied on luck and probability. It would be more appropriate to find some other people who he would not feel sad even if they died to do it.

Zhao Wuming, who has already reached the peak of Dark Energy, and his six brothers who are about to reach the peak of Dark Energy, now seem to be the most suitable candidates.

Even if Zhao Wuming and the others all died in those ruins, Chu Longtu would not feel sad.

Moreover, Zhao Wuming and his men have been in the underworld for many years and have top-notch connections and experience, so it is most appropriate to let them do this kind of thing.

It just so happened that in order to preserve Zhao Wuming's cultivation, they took the initiative to offer themselves to Chu Longtu to slaughter them. Chu Longtu would feel a little sorry for them if he didn't exploit them severely.

Based on the above, there is really no one more suitable than Zhao Wuming and others.

Chu Longtu collected his thoughts and was not noticed by Zhao Wuming and the fat man. They were still looking at Chu Longtu expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Chu Longtu had made up his mind and didn't hesitate, speaking directly.

"Since you said so, I won't embarrass you."

"I don't need money or anything like that. It's of no use to me."

"When the time comes, you just need to help me find one thing. Even if it is equivalent to the elixir that preserves your cultivation today."

Zhao Wuming and the fat man, who were holding their breath and waiting for Chu Longtu to make a bid, instinctively breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chu Longtu's words.

Looking for something?

What's so rare about this?

Although the seven of them were all driven out of their respective families, they were all born into proper aristocratic families and had extensive connections. In addition, they had been in the world for so many years and had already accumulated rich connections.

No matter what Chu Longtu was looking for, they could rely on their own connections to find out the relevant information, and it was not difficult to complete the transaction with Chu Longtu.

However, Zhao Wuming and the fat man did not completely relax, and they were not blindly optimistic.

Even though they have extensive connections, they can always find out some information about even the hardest-to-find treasures.

But they couldn't guarantee that they would be able to find what Chu Longtu wanted.

Who knows what Chu Longtu is looking for?

If they really are looking for something that no one in the world has ever seen, then even if they have extensive connections, there is a high probability that they won't find it.

So even though they felt that Chu Longtu's conditions were not too harsh, they did not dare to be blindly optimistic and still maintained due caution.

Chu Longtu didn't care about their expressions. He turned his wrist and a pill appeared in his palm.

Zhao Wuming and the fat man's eyes were immediately attracted by the pill in Chu Longtu's palm.

The pill in Chu Longtu's palm was the size of a pigeon egg, and its entire body was a very warm light yellow color. It looked like a string of jade beads carved from a piece of top-quality topaz. It was extremely exquisite and did not look like a pill at all.

As the elixir appeared in front of them, an extremely profound fragrance quietly drifted in the air.

Zhao Wuming and the fat man twitched their noses at the same time and immediately smelled the extremely deep fragrance.

As the fragrance entered their noses, before they could react, they immediately felt a warm current rising from their chests and flowing to their limbs. Their whole bodies felt warm and comfortable as if they were soaking in a hot spring.

Even the burning pain all over Zhao Wuming's body, as if he was being cut by a knife or burned by fire, seemed to have subsided a little.

The looks of Zhao Wuming and the fat man when they looked at the pill in Chu Longtu's palm changed completely. They were extremely greedy and fanatical. They looked just like two wolves that had been hungry for three days and three nights and saw a piece of extremely fat meat with blood. They wanted to rush up and swallow the pill in Chu Longtu's palm completely!

Just a wisp of the aroma can make them warm and comfortable, and it has such magical medicinal effects.

One can imagine how rich, magical and powerful the medicinal power is contained in this entire pill!

If he swallowed the entire pill, wouldn't it be another enhancement comparable to the breakthrough to the peak of dark energy after taking the Barrier Breaking Pill just now?

When Zhao Wuming thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

At this moment, all the doubts about leaking the internal energy technique and the worry that Chu Longtu might use the internal energy technique against him in the future, disappeared completely.

Those so-called doubts and worries are so far away that we cannot see their shadows now, and it is not certain whether they will happen in the future.

But this magical pill was indeed placed in front of Zhao Wuming, it was so real!

If you have to compare a fact that may not happen in the future with a treasure right in front of you, even a fool would know what to choose!

Any hesitation for even a second longer would be disrespectful to the powerful pill in front of you!

Originally, Zhao Wuming had already taken the Barrier Breaking Pill and broke through to the peak of Dark Energy. If he took this pill as soft as jade, he might be able to completely consolidate the foundation of the peak of Dark Energy and even look towards the Transformation Energy realm!

How could Zhao Wuming refuse such a huge benefit?

On the contrary, the fat man next to him couldn't help but look a little resentful.

Now that's good. Originally, each of the seven of them had a Barrier Breaking Pill. After breaking through to the peak of Dark Energy, everyone is at the same level and has the same cultivation level, with almost no difference.

But now Zhao Wuming turned a disaster into a blessing. He took one more pill and left those who were originally at the same level behind again.

Even if they have taken the Barrier Breaking Pill and broken through to the peak of Dark Energy, they still need time to consolidate their cultivation and realm, and consolidate their foundation. At least they need to focus on consolidating their foundation for the next three to five years.

Only after the foundation is thoroughly solidified can we talk about what happens next.

But now Zhao Wuming directly skipped the process of consolidating the foundation by using elixirs, and jumped directly to the stage of looking forward to a higher realm after consolidating the foundation.

In this way, Zhao Wuming gained a huge advantage!

Maybe after three to five years, when the fat man and the others have just stabilized their cultivation level, Zhao Wuming will have already glimpsed the secret of the Hua Jin realm and has already stepped one foot into the Hua Jin realm!

By that time, the gap between them will be even bigger than it is now!

Outside of Hua Jin and within Hua Jin, those are two completely different concepts and two realms.

When he thought of that scene, the fat man regretted why he didn't go forward to kill Pei Qinghai instead of Zhao Wuming.

I risked my life and got seriously injured, but I gained such great benefits. Overall, it was a great profit!

But the fat man was just thinking about it. He knew that even if time could go back, even if it happened ten thousand times, it would never be his turn to deal with Pei Qinghai.

Soldier against soldier, general against general, his status is not equal to Pei Qinghai's, no matter what, it is not his turn to take action.

If he really forced himself to step forward to deal with Pei Qinghai, Pei Qinghai would only laugh at him for being uneducated and mock Zhao Wuming for not being able to discipline his subordinates and having no rules.

Even if Pei Qinghai was really killed, no one would fear him and would only treat him as a joke.

Looking at Zhao Wuming's miserable injuries, the fat man was immediately relieved.

Don’t just see Zhao Wuming eating meat now, but miss the time when he was beaten.

If Zhao Wuming had not risked his life to fight with Pei Qinghai just now, and even his limbs were broken and he almost lost his life, how could Zhao Wuming have the benefits he has now.

Zhao Wuming risked his life for everything, he deserves it.

The fat man was relieved. Zhao Wuming was only paying attention to the pill in Chu Longtu's hand and did not notice anything strange about the fat man.

Chu Longtu did notice it, but there was no expression on his face, still as calm as a deep ancient pool.

"Mr. Chu, what is this?"

Zhao Wuming couldn't suppress his excitement and couldn't help asking.

Chu Longtu said lightly.

"This is... Never mind. You don't need to know the name of the elixir. You definitely haven't heard of it anyway."

"This pill can repair hidden injuries, nourish qi and blood, and promote internal strength. It is just right for your current symptoms."

"Take this pill, and I will help you gather the internal energy that has escaped from your body. It should be able to restore your internal energy to the state before the battle with Pei Qinghai."

"And it can help you solidify your foundation, saving you years of hard work."

Chu Longtu weighed the pill in his hand and said lightly.

"Don't think that the conditions I proposed are too harsh. You won't suffer any loss."

What else can Zhao Wuming say?

Of course I can only nod, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Chu Longtu has such a precious elixir, everything he says is right!

Chu Longtu looked at Zhao Wuming's eager eyes until the time was right, then he spoke.

"Open your mouth."

Zhao Wuming opened his mouth instinctively.

Chu Longtu snapped his fingers, and the jade-like pill drew an arc and lightly sank into Zhao Wuming's mouth!
