In the stone forest, Li Mu and the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree vanished in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, he appeared in the Golden Pearl World, and with a thought, he appeared near the Breath Soil.

The herbs he planted earlier haven't changed much since he planted them; they still look the same.

After planting the Heavenly Spirit Fruit tree, Li Mu had no idea whether it would survive.

He took a small bucket out of the ring, poured a case of mineral water into it, and prepared to water the herbs and fruit trees.

In an instant, a brilliant idea struck him. He took out the stalagmite water and dripped a drop into the bucket.

After the water with added stalagmite was poured onto the roots of the herbs and fruit trees, Li Mu quickly noticed that the plants seemed to have regained some vitality.

Even the entire world seems to be subtly changing, these subtle changes are imperceptible and can only be felt.

At this moment, Li Mu was both happy and worried. He was happy that if the herbs were watered with water mixed with stamen water for a long time, they could survive.

The worry is that there's only half a can of stalagmite water, which isn't enough.

Moreover, using this method to support a fruit tree is far too unprofitable.

The water from the thousand-year-old stalagmite is extremely rare, and its value is thousands or even tens of thousands of times higher than these spiritual plants and herbs.

It's like wanting a meal, but exchanging a piece of gold for a seedling instead.

Not only that, you also have to spend a lot of gold to help the seedlings grow, and the final harvest may only be enough for one meal.

In fact, you only need one piece of gold to buy a full granary of grain.

Li Mu shook his head to himself, knowing he would never do something that was not worth the loss.

However, this also gave him a great hint: as long as there are spiritual objects, this world can be changed by him.

This led him to think of other things, such as the spiritual spring in Longmo Mountain.

If we can find some spiritual springs and place them here, it should allow spiritual plants to grow.

.

After leaving the Golden Pearl World, Li Mu let out a long sigh.

After choosing a direction, he boarded his flying sword and headed to Nanpei City.

Nanpei is the largest concentration of jadeite rough stones in China, and a family here controls 40% of the jadeite rough stone import business from Myanmar.

This family is the Huo family, and Li Mu's purpose in coming here is precisely for the Huo family.

He considered himself the kind of person who would turn the other cheek after being slapped on the left; he wanted to kill the person who slapped him.

When Chen Hua of the Six Alliances revealed that the Huo family of Yunnan Province and the Chen family of Yanjing were joining forces to deal with him, he knew he couldn't let those two families off the hook.

The reason he didn't destroy the Heavenly Thunder Sect first before destroying the Huo family was because he changed his mind at the last minute.

For him, destroying a secular aristocratic family was a piece of cake.

He feared that if he went to the Heavenly Thunder Sect and something unexpected happened along the way, and he couldn't kill them in one fell swoop, the Huo family would jump out again.

Rather than letting the Huo family cause trouble later, it's better to deal with it in advance.

Moreover, once he destroys the Heavenly Thunder Sect, he will visit all the sects that are chasing him.

By then, there won't be time to make a special trip to Nanpei City just for the sake of the Huo family.

The Chen family in Yanjing also needs to be wiped out, but there's no time to deal with it right now.

Li Mu will not let any of these people and families who are determined to kill him go; it's just a matter of time and order.

After arriving in Nanpei, Li Mu did not rush to inquire about the Huo family, as the Huo family was a large family and should be easy to find.

He wasn't in a hurry to kill; what was in a hurry were the people he killed.

He wanted to wander around here, and as long as he searched patiently in each place, he would always find something.

.

Nanpei City, Yunnan Province.

The Huo family has lived in Nanpei City for generations. This place is on the southern border, bordering Myanmar.

As the saying goes, "those who live near the mountains live off the mountains." Myanmar is rich in jade, and those who live near Myanmar can only make a living from jade.

The Huo family has had a connection with jade from Myanmar since their ancestors.

The Huo family has paid a heavy price, almost always in blood, for trying to profit from jade.

The Huo family's old residence in Nanpei City.

Huo Yushan, the head of the Huo family, was sitting alone in his study.

Ever since Huo Zheng disappeared, the old man Huo Yushan has been restless.

Huo Zheng is important to both the Huo family and the Chen family of Yanjing because he is Huo Huanyu's son.

The Huo family's current situation is entirely due to Huo Huanyu.

Back then, my elder brother Huo Yulin lost his life in Dead Man's Mountain in an attempt to bring back cheap raw stones from Myanmar.

Huo Huanyu was his nephew whom he had raised since childhood. When he was a teenager, he was taken away by an old Taoist priest to learn martial arts.

More than 20 years ago, I almost lost my life in Myanmar because of trafficking in raw stones.

After mastering martial arts, Huo Huanyu, in a fit of rage, single-handedly wiped out a force in Myanmar.

They even attacked the strongholds of several warlords, ultimately establishing the Huo family's monopoly in the jade business.

In recent years, Huo Huanyu has been devoted to martial arts. Currently, he is the sect leader of the Thundercloud Sect and is very busy with sect affairs, so he has not left the sect for many years.

Huo Zheng is the only blood relative Huo Huanyu had left behind after he met the younger sister of the Chen family in Yanjing by chance in the mortal world that year.

Although this child has no talent for martial arts and no interest in it, he is the only person who can directly contact Lei Yun Sect and Huo Huanyu.

If the Huo family or the Chen family needed anything from Huo Huanyu, they would do so through Huo Zheng.

Because Huo Zheng had a communication iron plate that could be used to transmit messages by dripping blood, a very magical method of communication.

.

At this moment, Huo Yushan was standing next to a sand table, which was the same sand table that Huo Zheng used to transmit messages.

He had seen Huo Zheng send messages before; Huo Zheng only needed to drip a drop of blood onto the iron plate and place it next to the sand table.

To convey your message, simply write or draw on the sand table, and the other party's reply will automatically appear on the sand table.

The sand table is still there, but the person is missing, which makes Huo Yushan feel very disappointed.

Huo Zheng's disappearance meant that he lost contact with his nephew and became passive, only able to wait for Huo Huanyu to take the initiative to contact him.

On the other hand, although Huo Zheng was not his biological grandson, he was his favorite grandson and a truly good grandson.

The little guy is quick-witted and eloquent; he's got the makings of someone who can do great things. I'm thinking of passing the position of family head to him.

Some time ago, someone finally brought news of Huo Zheng, but it was devastating news; Huo Zheng was probably dead.

The person who caused Huo Zheng's disappearance was Li Mu, a rich young man from Jiangcheng.

Then news came that this Li Mu was no ordinary person, but was very strong, and that the Thundercloud Sect was hunting him down, ultimately forcing him to jump off a cliff.

Hearing that Li Mu had been forced to his death, he directly contacted the Chen family in Yanjing, wanting to put pressure on the Li family in Jiangcheng together.

However, he was furious that a small gang in Jiangcheng was unwilling to take action, so he sent his son, Huanchen, to deal with it.

After Huo Huanchen approached the Chen family, he learned that the Cheng family of Xishan was also involved.

The situation regarding removing the Li family from Jiangcheng is quite complicated at the moment, and we'll have to wait for Huo Huanchen to return before we can proceed.

Tonight, the Huo family is holding a family meeting.

It wasn't just for the Li family in Jiangcheng, but also for the mess left behind by Huo Zheng.

A few years ago, in order to cultivate Huo Zheng, the old man specially helped Huo Zheng set up a jewelry company.

After several years of development, and with the support of the Chen family of Yanjing and his own side, his assets have now swelled to tens or even hundreds of billions.

Furthermore, Huo Zheng is a womanizer; it's said he has several mistresses and two illegitimate children.

We must find the Huo family's offspring, just like we brought Huo Zheng back from the Chen family in Yanjing.
