Chapter 20 I was cheated!

"Yeah." Luo Li nodded slightly reservedly, "We can start when they come back."

"Okay!" Zhan Yun breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the stool opposite Luo Li waiting for Uncle Zhou.

Time passed slowly, and an hour later.

Uncle Zhou ran back with his men, breathless, and handed a space ring to Zhan Yun. "Deputy...Deputy Captain, everything is inside."

Zhan Yun took the interspatial ring and handed it to Luo Li, "Master, please."

"Who knows if she's an alchemist? She doesn't even have an alchemy furnace."

Unlike the others who were excited, Wu Lang lowered his head and muttered softly.

Uncle Zhou scratched his ears and leaned over. "Ah, Xiao Wu, what did you just say?"

"Nothing, nothing." He waved his hands quickly.

Luo Li heard it, and she curled her lips and smiled, "Let's do it here."

"Here?" Zhan Yun was a little surprised. Alchemists should make pills in a quiet environment.

The yard is so noisy. If they fail, where can they find a second set of spiritual plants?

But she only thought in her heart that the master must have her reasons for doing this.

Luo Li opened the interspatial ring and placed the spiritual plants inside on the table one by one. She handed the inner core of the divine beast to Zhan Yun and said, "Grind it into powder."

Wu Lang sneered and was glared at by Zhan Yun.

Zhan Yun took the inner elixir silently, and after a moment, handed the ground inner elixir to Luo Li.

Luo Li processed the spiritual plants quickly. Her technique was skillful and pleasing to the eye, which made Zhan Yun marvel at it.

In just a quarter of an hour, Luo Li had processed the spiritual plants, and the spiritual power mixed with mental power wrapped the medicinal liquid in it.

The other hand summoned Chi Yan's natal flame, and in an instant, the spiritual fire fell into the bottom of the furnace, slowly turning the alchemy furnace red.

Luo Li controlled the size of the flame, used her spiritual power to fuse the medicinal liquid and inner elixir powder, and slowly placed them into the alchemy furnace.

But after a moment, a strange color appeared in the alchemy furnace, and everyone around watched with bated breath.

Luo Li didn't dare to relax. This time she was going to refine a holy-level elixir, which was a little difficult for her now.

The mental power penetrated into the alchemy furnace, controlling the fusion of the medicinal liquid.

After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual energy in Luo Li's spiritual veins was about to be exhausted, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from her forehead.

The sun sets in the west, the rosy glow spreads, and finally a burst of fragrance comes from the furnace.

Luo Li leaned on the ground somewhat exhausted, swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, and relaxed for a moment.

He took out the pills from the alchemy furnace, walked into the room, and asked Zhan Yun to feed them to Mu Bei who was lying on the bed.

Zhan Yun was secretly shocked when holding the pill. This pill might not be lower than the heavenly grade.

She carefully took the pill and put it into Mu Bei's mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and in just a moment, the black runes on Mu Bei's body had completely disappeared, and his breathing had become steady.

Zhan Yun went forward to check and found that Mu Bei's injuries had completely stabilized and he was no longer in danger of death.

Luo Li walked out of the yard and let out a breath. Once she got the Chaos Jade fragment, she would rush to the imperial capital.

Go and meet the great uncle whom I have never met.

After Zhan Yun settled Mu Bei down, he also walked into the yard.

Luo Li looked at her and smiled, "Deputy Captain Zhan, the young captain's injury is no longer serious. Please give me the jade."

Anyone would be in a good mood looking at such a big and beautiful woman.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Yun and the brothers behind her lowered their heads and said nothing.

Luo Li's smile froze, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Deputy Captain, what do you mean by this? Are you not keeping your word?"

Zhan Yun saw that he could no longer hide the truth, so he raised his head in shame and stammered, "Sir, I'm so sorry!"

"It was Mu Bei who led the team to the ruins. I only led people to rescue him after receiving his distress message. The other brothers were almost all dead. I only rescued Mu Bei at the exit of the ruins."

She didn't dare to look at Luo Li, and only heard a sneer.

The girl in front of him smiled lightly, but the corner of her lips curved into a mocking arc.

"So, you didn't get the secret treasure for the S-level mission at all?"

Luo Li was so angry that she almost laughed. She followed here just for the Chaos Jade Fragments.

After rescuing the person, they told her that the Chaos Jade fragment was not in their hands at all!

Zhan Yun was also extremely ashamed. She had originally thought that using the treasure from the S-level mission would attract alchemists, so she drew a picture of the last piece of mysterious jade she saw at the exit of the ruins.

However, the alchemists who came expressed that they were not interested in this thing and did not know anything about it, so she ignored the notice.

Unexpectedly...

"I'm really sorry!" Zhan Yun and the members of the mercenary group bowed deeply to Luo Li.

As mercenaries of the Yanluo Mercenary Group, they should have been honest and trustworthy, but they violated this principle.

"If you have any other requests, our Yanluo Mercenary Group will do our best to satisfy you!"

Luo Li pressed her solar plexus. The unusual movement of the Tower of Gods in her body made her feel uneasy. It seemed that she had to find the Chaos Jade fragment.

"I want you to bring someone to take me to the place where I last saw the jade."

"This..." Zhan Yun seemed to have suddenly thought of something terrible, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to."

She closed her eyes and said, "Even a powerful Spiritual Master wouldn't be able to get out safely from that place."

Luo Li also knew in her heart that Zhan Yun, a powerful Nine-Star Spirit Emperor, was seriously injured, and that the place must be full of dangers.

She was not someone who did not know the importance of things, but the Tower of Gods was too ordinary. Whether she could go in or not, she had to at least take a look.

The Tower of Gods would not harm her. For some reason, Luo Li was so convinced.

Zhan Yun was about to say something when a weak voice suddenly came from the door.

"I'll take you there."

Luo Li turned around to look. Mu Bei looked pale, but his expression was firm. "Benefactor, I will take you there."

"I led the team into the ruins. No one knows the ruins better than me."

"Mu Bei!"

Zhan Yun's face darkened. "With your father gone, you've grown wings, haven't you?"

"Deputy Captain!" Mu Bei said with a cold face, "It was our mercenary group that betrayed and deceived our benefactor first. Besides, our benefactor only asked us to take her to the ruins, not to risk our lives!"

"Mu Bei! Do you know that you almost died?" Zhan Yun closed his eyes. "In any case, you are not allowed to go. Wait for your father to come back!"

Luo Li clapped her hands and said coldly, "So the deputy leader is not going to agree to my request?"

Zhan Yun was stunned, his face tangled. "Master, it's not that I don't want to. If you change your request, I, Zhan Yun, will definitely agree, but..."

"Aunt Yun! I must go this time. Even my father can't stop me. I will go to my father and explain it to him in person."

Although Mu Bei's voice was not loud, his tone was firm and revealed an unquestionable majesty.

He softened his voice again and looked at Luo Li in the middle of the yard, "My benefactor, my injuries are not yet fully healed. Please wait for me for a few days."

The Tower of Gods in his body quieted down the moment Mu Bei agreed, and Luo Li was no longer so anxious.

So he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Benefactor, where are you staying these days?"

Luo Li told him where she was temporarily staying and turned to leave.

As she was about to leave the Yanluo Mercenary Group, she stopped and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, don't try to deceive me anymore. If I can save him, I can also kill him."

"I'll come see you tomorrow."

After saying this, he walked out of the Yanluo Mercenary Group without caring about the reactions of the people behind him.
