Chapter 109: You Can’t Always Live Under Someone Else’s Crotch

"Ahem! Ahem ahem - Brother Li, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

Mei Chai Shao coughed a few times awkwardly and tried to change the subject.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to flatter Li Yanmo, but he also understands Li Yanmo’s character. Asking this kind of question was definitely not for the purpose of bragging, so he could only look at Li Yanmo's level as a cultivator from the perspective of a veteran cultivator.

In terms of magic weapons, Li Yanmo has a lot of them on his body, but they are all storage bags.

In terms of the physical body, he does have some strength by relying on the tempering of the body by thunder magic, but Li Yanmo does not have any special physique, so he cannot be regarded as the top.

As for the magic spells, this is what Mei Chai Shao cannot understand the most. Now that Li Yanmo owns the Tianxu Tower, he can read and learn all kinds of skills and supernatural powers in it at will. So what did Li Yanmo use in the end?

Mei Chai Shao has lived for so long, but he still can't understand Li Yanmo's escape techniques that allow others to escape, and his persuasion to others to learn thunder magic. The eye rays and wind wheels are quite interesting, but the power of those things is completely bound to the level of cultivation, and they cannot be used as a trump card for cross-level challenges.

All in all, Li Yanmo can only be considered a third-rate cultivator in the universe. Facing a top-notch genius like Leng Ningshuang, he doesn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Of course I want to improve myself. After all, I am the leader of a sect. I can't always ask others for help when something goes wrong," Li Yanmo said unhappily.

"No, can't we? I think the cultivators of the Dayu Dynasty are very willing to help," Mei Chai Shao scratched the back of his head and added, "I heard that many cultivators of the Dayu Dynasty regard Tianxu Tower as a place to gild their vests, and are applying to come here to gild their vests."

"You can't always live under someone else's crotch."

"Uh... unless the hips are super big?"

Li Yanmo was speechless for a moment, and patiently explained, "Now Tianxu Tower and Daomen have already had an intersection, and they are still in the stage of testing each other. Daomen will test further sooner or later and want to meet with the top leaders of Tianxu Tower. It's okay to refuse once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from Daomen."

"Tianxu Tower can't always live under someone else's roof."

You know, the Dayu Dynasty was a real dog-rich dynasty! What if the Dayu Dynasty keeps spending money?

Mei Chai Shao thought about it and it was indeed the case.

Tianxulou can rent the vests of Dayu Dynasty to play the role of senior executives, but senior executives are different from employees. They represent the will of Tianxulou, and the vests of Dayu Dynasty are of high value. If you rent a powerful vest, you can indeed suppress the Taoist sect in the first place, but the Taoist sect will soon investigate the previous feats of those vests and regard those actions as the intention of Tianxu Tower. God knows what kind of bad reaction will occur.

Moreover, once a fake senior official is deployed and has contact with some people in the Taoist sect, in order to avoid suspicion from the Taoist sect, the fake official will have to be constantly mobilized in the future. The cost is secondary. The main thing is the autonomy of Tianxu Tower. The senior officials cannot be replaced at will.

Tianxu Tower and Dayu Dynasty have a cooperative relationship. If all the senior executives of Tianxu Tower are Dayu Dynasty's aliases, then Tianxu Tower will completely lose its autonomy.

Mei Chai Shao coughed and asked tentatively with a shameless face, "Little Brother Li, do you think I am... suitable?"

"You are at the initial stage of fusion now, which is not good enough. You need to be at least at the level of Hong Chang, so I plan to discuss with General Mo to see if I can help you and Sect Master Liu find a suitable place to improve your cultivation," Li Yanmo smiled without leaving any trace, "What do you think?"

Mei Chai Shao was horrified.

As the ancestor, Mei Chai Shao knew in his heart that Qingshan Sect had been relying on Li Yanmo from the beginning to the end and could not provide any substantial help. Now that the Qingshan Sect has gained a huge advantage, it would be extremely shameless to ask for a high-level position in the Tianxu Tower. Unexpectedly, Li Yanmo not only agreed, but also prepared to invest resources in this old man.

Mei Chai Shao restrained his usual unreliable behavior and clasped his hands together, "Sect Master Li, I will definitely not let you down."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let nature take its course," Li Yanmo was reassured by Mei Chai Shao's assurance.

Doesn’t he know what kind of personality Mei Chai Shao has?

When it comes to cultivation, you will definitely be busy for three days and dry the net for two days!

"Speaking of which, if I want a magical weapon with great potential, where should I go to try my luck?"

"Ah? Little Brother Li, if you want a magic weapon, can't you just go to Tianxu Tower and get it?"

Li Yanmo's question left Mei Chai Shao a little confused.

A suitable and powerful magic weapon can increase the strength of a cultivator by 20 to 30 percent. If the magic weapon is strong enough and the holder is good enough, he or she can even defeat a cultivator who is one major realm higher than himself. But it is not easy to forge magic weapons. All the cultivators in places where spiritual energy is scarce and the cultivation methods are backward are worried about magic weapons.

Ganzhou is one of them. In the entire Ganzhou sect, there may be less than twenty earth-grade magic weapons added up, and they are all lower-grade earth-grade magic weapons.

But Li Yanmo now has the support of the Dayu Dynasty, so it only takes a word for him to get any magic weapon he wants. Even if he wants to pay the bill, Tianxu Tower now has 20 billion spirit stones, so it is not difficult for it to get a powerful magic weapon.

Li Yanmo said calmly, "...Now Tianxu Tower is still in the development stage, and negotiating with the Dayu Dynasty is a tough job. As a master, I can't cause too much trouble to the second brother for my own selfish desires. Besides, how can a master ask his disciples for magic weapons? I have to take the lead."

These are true, but there is a more important reason.

That is, as the leader of Taixu Sect, he cannot use his status as the leader to covet things from affiliated industries.

He couldn't spend the 20 billion spirit stones, nor could he eat the spiritual herbs and medicines in the Tianxu Tower's stockpile. He also couldn't rely on his status as the sect leader to get the magic weapons and spiritual treasures for free with spirit stones below market value.

The same applies to Qingshan Sect, which is a subsidiary sect.

Being able to access advanced training grounds and watch various spells and magical powers is already considered a borderline behavior.

If you want magic weapons or spiritual treasures, you have to pay for them. As the leader of the Taixu Sect, after more than a year of accumulation, Li Yanmo’s small treasury already has an exaggerated amount of... 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones!

I can’t even afford the fragments of a magic weapon.

Mei Chai Shao was immediately in awe, frowned and thought for a while before answering, "The magic weapons in this world can be roughly divided into two categories, innate magic weapons and acquired magic weapons."

"The cultivators in this world use acquired magic weapons, which are made by weapon refiners and are divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Most of the innate magic weapons are rare objects bred by heaven and earth. Even if you have great luck, it is difficult to encounter them. They are not in the heaven, earth, black and yellow, and are classified as immortal weapons."

"The definition of a spiritual treasure is much more vague, but it has one distinct characteristic, which is that it has spirit. The dragon pattern in General Mo's hand is one of the spiritual treasures."

"As for the channels for obtaining magic weapons... they can be roughly divided into two types: illegal and legal."

"There are roughly two legal channels. One is purchasing through auction, and the other is entrusting a specialized weapon refiner to forge it. The former has many variables, but there is always a number. The latter only requires finding reliable weapon refiners, and you will definitely get a matching magic weapon, but the cost is high. Even those Zhongzhou cultivators dare not order magic weapons at will," Mei Chai Shao's eyes flickered. "As for illegal channels..."

"That's a lot."
