Li Mu looked at the people in the room with a helpless expression.
He never imagined that one day he would be put on a pedestal by a few words and unable to get down.
The Zongwu Department is the department in China that controls various sects and independent martial artists. It is responsible for instructors, and even special instructors.
This position seems like something Cao Changyun imagined, and it appears to be far too arbitrary.
If Li Mu hadn't coveted the cultivation resources of the Zongwu Department, who could possibly ask him to do anything?
Now that he's been put in the position of instructor, he has no choice but to make his own demands.
If I have to come and report every month, I definitely can't do it.
Sometimes, when they get engrossed in cultivation, alchemy, or weapon crafting, they can easily spend months or even years on it.
"Ministers, let me first share my thoughts on this instructor matter."
If I have to come to Yanjing every month, then forget about it; I don't have that much time right now.
If it happened once every year or two, I might agree.
After Li Mu finished speaking, he saw Cao Changyun and Wei Changsheng frowning, looking troubled.
"Ministers, let's not put you in such a difficult position. Let's just forget about this instructor matter..."
"Hey! Fellow Daoist Li, no trouble at all. Instructor Li, I was just thinking about how to arrange your accommodation."
When Cao Changyun heard that Li Mu was about to retreat again, he quickly replied that he should keep Li Mu here first.
The instructors in the Zongwu Department hold positions that are neither high nor low, and they are required to be registered. It is indeed somewhat difficult for them to be absent from their posts for extended periods.
Wei Changsheng was also thinking about how to arrange this instructor. Now that the person had been put in charge, the key was how to ensure that the training was implemented effectively.
With Li Mu's strength, even just being nominally affiliated with the Zongwu Department would bring him immense benefits.
The Chinese government has a Zongwu Department, and the martial arts world also has a Martial Arts Association. That unofficial organization is the opposite.
The president of the Martial Arts Association, Xiang Tianhong, is a very powerful figure. People often have to be mindful of his attitude when dealing with martial artists from different sects.
If Li Mu can become a member of the Zongwu tribe, and happens to set his sights on Xiang Tianhong, that old bastard will be in for a world of trouble.
Thinking of this, Wei Changsheng almost burst out laughing.
Therefore, Li Mu must be officially registered in the Zongwu Department; we must keep him at all costs.
.
"Instructor Li, how about this? You probably have your own things to do, so we won't take up too much of your time."
"How about we come to Yanjing every six months? That way, all the resources we collect can be distributed every six months as well."
After Wei Changsheng finished speaking, Cao Changyun's eyes lit up, and he silently gave his old friend a thumbs up in his heart.
The resources collected by Zongwu Department are usually used by higher-ups first after they are handed over; there is absolutely no such thing as distributing them only once every six months.
Old Wei is deliberately setting a trap for Li Mu, trying to keep him in the Zongwu Department for as long as possible to better extract his remaining value.
After listening to Minister Wei's explanation, Li Mu thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
He had been planning to go with Lin Hongluan to find opportunities, mainly for cultivation resources; it would be good to have readily available resources.
However, as soon as he nodded, the two ministers opposite him revealed smiles like those of wealthy landlords.
I thought to myself that I was still too young, and I probably fell into some kind of trap.
"Ministers, I can take on the role of instructor, but I may not be able to teach well. Let's just discuss and learn from each other."
As for the position and salary, forget about it, since I only come here once or twice a year.
Please forgive me if I am unable to come for a year or two.
Upon hearing this, the two ministers felt relieved. As long as they could join the Zongwu Department, they would consider each other comrades.
With this bond of comradeship, and with more communication, if we encounter a life-or-death situation, I'm not afraid that you, Li Mu, would stand by and watch someone die.
After talking with the two cunning old men, Li Mu suddenly felt exhausted.
Seeing that Li Mu seemed to be seeing the guests off, Cheng Yishi quickly winked at Li Mu, as if he had something to say!
"Old Cheng, is there something wrong with your eyes? There are no outsiders here, so let's get down to business."
Cheng Yi was almost thrown off balance by Li Mu's words. He thought to himself, "Is this a matter of eyes? You're the one with eyes problems, your whole family has problems."
"Um, well, our Bai Mu Pharmaceutical recently launched cultivation pills, right? The Zongwu Department should have a need for them."
.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu's eyes lit up. He smiled at the two ministers and silently gave Old Baldy Cheng a thumbs up in his heart.
While he was thinking about cultivation resources, Cheng the Bald was thinking about business. The business elite truly lived up to his reputation, always keeping the world in mind.
When it comes to business, Cheng Yishi is definitely miles ahead of Li Mu. In business, what kind of money is the easiest to make? It's definitely the money from the government.
If they could get in touch with the official channels, even just the few hundred martial artists in the Zongwu Department could make a fortune, let alone a lot.
Moreover, with official endorsement, even the most difficult business becomes much simpler.
"Pills? How can they improve cultivation?"
Within China, there are hundreds, even thousands, of pharmaceutical factories, many of which are just masquerading as legitimate businesses but actually selling counterfeit drugs.
They often exaggerate, get some medicine and send it to the authorities, and it becomes a designated drug, making money entirely from advertising.
The two men weren't particularly interested in the pills Cheng Yishi mentioned; he knew Cheng's family's pharmaceutical factory very well.
"We have refined the Qi-replenishing pill, which is a kind of pill that can help low-level martial artists advance to the next level. Even if they don't have enough talent, it can help them break through to the level of a martial artist."
Seeing that the two ministers were not very interested, Cheng quickly explained the effects of the elixir.
He himself was the biggest beneficiary of the elixir, and this was not an exaggeration.
However, the two ministers were filled with a tremendous shock at this moment. A pill that could enable a martial artist to break through.
Then they remembered that someone had broken through to a higher level during the martial arts tournament using a pill, and that pill seemed to have been provided by Li Mu.
Think about it again. Cheng Yishi said that all kinds of wood are used to make medicine. Could it be that this elixir is related to plum wood?
"A pill that can help a martial artist break through to a higher realm?"
"Can it enable someone without talent to break through and become a martial artist?"
While Cao Changyun and Wei Changsheng were asking questions, they looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu ignored the two questioning glances. Business is business, just talk to Baldy Cheng, why are you looking at me?
"Xiao Cheng, did you bring any pills with you?"
Without saying a word, Cheng patted the storage bag that Li Mu had given him, and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand.
At this moment, he was also unhappy that people were questioning the efficacy of the elixir.
He was there to handle some paperwork, so he naturally brought some medicine, including two full bottles of Qi-boosting pills.
Seeing that Cheng Yishi actually took out the pills, he even slammed the medicine bottle onto the tea table with a look of dissatisfaction.
Wei Changsheng felt that this pill should be good, so he casually gestured to his grandson.
"Xiao Tian, come and try this pill."
Wei Xiaotian had been listening in the background the whole time, never expecting that his own grandfather would actually make him a guinea pig. Was this really his own grandfather?
What if this medicine poisons someone?
Seeing his two grandfathers looking at him expectantly, Wei Xiaotian couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Then look at Li Mu, Instructor Li, why is he looking at me like I'm watching a show?
Something's not right!
To eat or not to eat?
