The martial arts tournament is in full swing.
The Celestial Masters' Taoist Yi Society is also underway, and a gold nugget has appeared in the trading area.
When Li Mu saw the metal, he thought it was just a nugget of gold and didn't think there was anything special about it.
Since this person said he could try it out, he was willing to take it and see.
However, before Li Mu could speak, someone else beat him to it.
"Old Zong, don't try to impress people with that gold nugget. You didn't manage to exchange it at the last Dao Yi Gathering, and now you're bringing it up again. Put it away quickly and move on to the next item."
The speaker was an old Taoist priest dressed as a Taoist. This man was He Shengming, also known as Taoist He, from Qingfeng Taoist Temple.
When ridiculed by He Laodao, Zong Sihou's previously pleading expression turned awkward, but then returned to normal.
Several people who had attended previous meetings were also watching him as if he were a laughing stock.
"Old Master He, I haven't offended you, have I? Last time is last time. Who knows, someone else might have their eye on you this time. Here, young brother, try it on. Maybe we're destined to meet and can make a deal."
Zong Sihou was still unwilling to give up and wanted to make a deal. He even went out of his way to find Li Mu, the youngest person in the room, hoping to fool him.
Seeing Zong Sihou deliberately walk towards him and place the gold nugget directly in his hand, Li Mu was speechless. He thought to himself, "Do I look like a fool who's easy to fool?"
.
The next moment, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. This was definitely not dog-head gold; it was magic gold.
"This piece of gold looks quite auspicious. I wonder how Master Zong would like to proceed with the transaction?"
Li Mu gripped the Magic Gold tightly in his hand, but he couldn't appear too eager.
This is another material for forging a flying sword; we absolutely cannot let it go.
"Oh! Young man, it seems you're interested in my treasure. If you want it, we'll have to see what treasure you can offer."
"I don't have any baby medicine. I have a bottle of Breakthrough Pills. I don't know if I can exchange it for one. If not, forget it. I'll just keep it as a decoration anyway."
Tan Li, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, felt compelled to offer a reminder when he saw that Li Mu seemed genuinely interested in trading the gold nugget, and even exchanging it for pills.
"Li Mu, this gold nugget isn't worth much, so please don't act impulsively."
Old Tan's voice wasn't loud, but quite a few people heard him, including Huo Huanyu, who had just entered the venue.
Zong Sihou had finally found someone he could fool, so how could he let him go? Besides, the transaction involved pills, specifically Breakthrough Pills.
"I changed it!"
"Wait!"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, drawing everyone's attention to the one who had said "Wait a minute," Huo Huanyu.
Ignoring all that, when Zong Sihou said he had changed it, Li Mu immediately put the Magic Gold into his ring and then placed the small jade bottle in Zong Sihou's hand.
After the transaction was completed, Li Mu looked at Huo Huanyu, who had just entered the venue.
.
"Are you Li Mu?"
Huo Huanyu led the two elders, Fei Yu and Wu Dahuan, toward Li Mu.
Upon receiving the pill, Zong Sihou saw Huo Huanyu approaching but didn't even bother to verify its authenticity before stepping aside.
"Li Mu, this is Huo Huanyu from the Heavenly Thunder Sect," Old Tan whispered to Li Mu.
When Li Mu heard that this person was Huo Huanyu, his expression remained unchanged, but he was shocked to realize that Huo Zheng's affair had come to light.
"Li Mu, where is the young sect master of my Heavenly Thunder Sect?"
Seeing that the young man did not reply, Fei Yu approached and confirmed that the man was indeed Li Mu, and asked.
"What young sect master? How could I possibly know if any of your Thunder God Sect's cats or dogs have gone missing?" Li Mu said calmly.
He always confronts impolite people directly.
"Li Mu! I'll ask you one more time, where is Huo Zheng, the young sect master of my Heavenly Thunder Sect? Don't tell me you don't know, or you'll be in big trouble."
Huo Huanyu's face turned ugly when he heard Li Mu compare his son to a cat or dog. He was about to speak when Fei Yu interrupted him.
"Then I'll say it again: I've never known anyone named Huo Zheng, and please don't ask again."
"If your wife ran off with someone else, would you come to me asking about it? I'm not your father; I can't control everything."
"court death!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, Fei Yu raised his hand and slapped him across the face. He felt that Li Mu was too arrogant and wouldn't speak properly unless he was taught a lesson.
.
Li Mu was prepared. Seeing the man raise his hand, he advanced instead of retreating and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
Li Mu's punch was powerful and delivered when Fei Yu was off guard, sending Fei Yu flying.
"Sharp-tongued and quick-witted!"
As soon as Li Mu finished throwing the punch, he immediately felt a tremendous force coming towards him, and his body instinctively raised a layer of spiritual energy protective shield.
"Bang!"
Despite the protective measures, Li Mu was still slapped more than ten feet away by Huo Huanyu, and his blood and qi churned upon landing.
When Cheng Daoyuan heard someone call Li Mu, he immediately paid more attention, since this kid was on good terms with his own little rascal, and the two families had a new collaboration.
After listening to Li Mu's words that almost killed Fei Yu, Fei Yu realized that this kid was really troublesome and would always suffer. He then wondered if he should keep his own son away from him.
Sure enough, a few words were enough to start a fight. Although he hit someone, he was then knocked away by someone else, flying right in his direction.
.
Cheng Daoyuan stepped forward and helped the staggering Li Mu up, feeling that the young man was alright and hadn't suffered any serious harm. He stood up and said:
"Sect Leader Huo, I would like to speak the truth. Your sect's attack on people without cause during the Martial Arts Tournament is unbecoming of your status."
"Oh! And who are you? How do you know that my Heavenly Thunder Sect attacked people without cause?"
Huo Huanyu saw someone step forward and even criticized him for being mindful of his status.
He knew Cheng Daoyuan; his son had gotten into trouble in Xishan, and he hadn't gone after him, yet Cheng Daoyuan had suddenly appeared on his own.
"I am Cheng Daoyuan of Xishan. I have lived an upright life and would never do such a thing as bullying the weak. I hope the sect leader will respect himself."
Cheng Daoyuan was also furious. A few years ago, Huo Huanyu had called him senior, but now that he had become the sect leader, he showed him no respect at all.
"How dare you, a martial artist from a mortal family, interfere in the affairs of my Thundercloud Sect? This is outrageous!"
My son went missing in Xishan, and now it's related to this Li Mu. I want to ask you, what kind of justice are you talking about?
Could it be that your Cheng family of Xishan is in cahoots with this Li Mu, and has joined forces to persecute my son?
"Huo Huanyu, don't make baseless accusations. My Cheng family has no grudge against you. We will never allow you to frame us like this."
"Is it something you can't agree to now? My son has gone missing in Xishan, and your Cheng family must give an explanation, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Huo Huanyu, let me tell you now, the Cheng family is not made of clay. Even if your son is missing or dead, it has nothing to do with the Cheng family."
"Oh! Then I'd like to see just how much the Cheng family of Xishan really has."
"boom!"
Before Huo Huanyu could finish speaking, he punched Cheng Daoyuan.
The punch was incredibly fast, and the sonic boom it generated was like thunder. Even though Cheng Daoyuan also made a move, he was still blasted away by the punch.
This is the difference between the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm, like a chasm.
Li Mu watched as Huo Huanyu attacked again, his actions incredibly domineering, but it was too late to stop him.
All he could do was catch Cheng Daoyuan, who was spitting blood in mid-air, and channel a large amount of spiritual energy into his back to stabilize his mind. Then, he put a Rejuvenation Pill directly into his mouth.
