Seeing them both look at him, he immediately grew puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, Uncle Wang wants to know how the Zhang Group’s metal business is doing,” Li Mu explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng added, “It’s fine. Just speak honestly. I’m only doing a bit of work-related research.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinshi hurriedly said, “Oh, all right...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well... I don’t really understand anything too deep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But honestly, ever since I started using energy metals from the Zhang Group’s supply line, I’ve never used anyone else’s again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First of all, although the Zhang family’s prices are a tiny bit higher, their goods are genuinely excellent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On top of that, their after-sales service is good. In the past, other suppliers never bothered with our scrap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the Zhang family even handles scrap recovery, and at fair prices too. One phone call, and they send a truck over to haul it away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you add it all up, it saves worry, it saves effort, and the goods themselves are solid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These past two years, any blacksmith like us who really cares about making good weapons uses the Zhang family’s materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s even a whole circle of us now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he started talking about his trade, Chen Jinshi really got going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng nodded repeatedly as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a single leaf, one could infer the coming of autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Zhang Group had earned such a reputation among front-line workers, then its metal business could hardly be anything less than excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Wang Longcheng was tempted, Li Mu said, “I’m meeting Zhang Zhiwei tomorrow, so I’ll ask first whether their family is interested.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If they really have the capability, then they must already have begun preparing to compete for the military-industrial contract tied to this cooperation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Then I’ll trouble you with that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Zhang family is truly interested, have them prepare a proposal and send it directly to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When it comes to developing this Mother Crystal, our side has the greatest say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this time, the research institute’s recommendation is not for a mere contract manufacturer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They want a true military-industrial enterprise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those metal corporations with the biggest names all submit proposals filled with empty grandstanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a bidding environment like this, where profit and connections matter most,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“if things go strictly by the formal process, then the Zhang family’s proposal probably won’t even survive to the final round. It may never reach us at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as Wang Longcheng said this, there was helplessness in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by scale alone, the Zhang Group was not small within the Eastern District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in all of Ironhand City, it still could not compare with those enterprises that had military backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, since he held real influence in his hands, he absolutely would not allow those mediocre companies to take over the Living Crystal project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter was of immense importance, whether to Wang Longcheng personally or to the Pearl Military District as a whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu nodded and accepted the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without thinking much of it, he picked up the teacup in front of him to take a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he realize there were two teacups before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately turned to look at Wang Yinhuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By sheer coincidence, he caught her in the act of sneaking a glance at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed at which Wang Yinhuan’s pretty face heated up startled Yang Suying across the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she thought, Has this girl cooked already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a boiled shrimp would not turn red that fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal ended, when they were heading out, Yang Suying even deliberately stayed a little closer to Wang Yinhuan so she could observe her better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly speaking, not only was the girl cute and beautiful, her figure was excellent as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands were folded together over her lower abdomen, pressing her chest into an even fuller curve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs were neither too thick nor too thin, her waist was slender, and the graceful line of her body outlined a striking waist-to-hip ratio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Yang Suying said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they got home, the whole family went about putting away all sorts of odds and ends into their respective rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not until late that night that Li Mu finally lay down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission had earned him a total of 7,850 Triumph Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was far more than what he had gained last time in the Bone Ghoul Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was that toward the end of this mission, Li Mu had been killing Fourth Grade monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Fourth Grade monsters could scarcely withstand even a single strike from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After subtracting the points he had spent to learn the Safe-Haven Method, as well as unlocking Bird Transformation and Eagle Transformation in the Seventy-Two Transformations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he still had 7,150 left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest hesitation, Li Mu first poured 5,000 points into Listen Close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Consumed 5000 Triumph Points. Successfully enhanced ‘Listen Close’】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Listen Close: Store the Divine Weapon within the Xumi space of the ear. Gain constant comprehension and cultivation at 246% of the normal cultivation rate.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the points were spent, Li Mu could clearly feel that the speed of his cultivation had undergone a qualitative transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This increase was truly enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even compared to when he devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, this was much faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this improvement was happening every moment of every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that, although this cultivation speed was incredibly fast, Li Mu still felt it was not firm enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needed constant battle to temper the rise in his cultivation, so that his foundation could grow ever more solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this round of combat, Li Mu felt that his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Third Grade Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing unexpected happened, then with Listen Close’s current cultivation speed, he would break through to the Fourth Grade Realm within a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After upgrading Listen Close, Li Mu put another 545 points into Divine Weapon Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Consumed 545 Triumph Points. Successfully enhanced ‘Divine Weapon Art’】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Divine Weapon Art: Grants weight to the weapon. Current weight: 2000 jin.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding the weight of the weapon itself, that made it 2,220 jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu stretched his arms out long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve finally broken past one ton!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had 1,605 Triumph Points left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Mu took out his Size-Shifting Cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Triumph Points could be used to modify and upgrade Spirit Treasures, but Li Mu had always been short on Great Sage divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had completely forgotten about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle, Li Mu had truly come to understand the importance of Spirit Treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cloak was definitely worth trying to modify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do I modify a Spirit Treasure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Inject Triumph Points into the Spirit Treasure to obtain enhancement traits. The more points injected, the stronger the resulting trait.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inject 1,600 points and reinforce the cloak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu chose to go all in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please provide enhancement direction: Killing, Protection, Recovery, Mystic Arts, Domain.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Protection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, Li Mu was not lacking in offensive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【While the cloak is worn, it possesses 70% of your body’s defensive power. While detached from the body, it possesses 50% of your body’s defensive power.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had this Spirit Treasure started borrowing strength from his own body now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, there was no denying how powerful this trait was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Heavenly Immortal Art and his medicinal pills, even without activating Bronze Head and Iron Arms, his defensive power already far surpassed that of ordinary Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his cultivation rose higher and higher, for a Spirit Treasure to permanently possess seventy percent of his body’s defensive power\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was already an extremely rare thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key point was that it still had room to improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of medicinal pills then crossed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu once again urgently needed to strengthen his body, especially since he was still waiting to see the effects of the High-Grade Body-Tempering Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, his consciousness directly entered the Blessing Field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Blessing Field, Yaogu was currently running around everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few laps, its legs would bend, and it would let loose a stream of urine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of it was so strong that it could spray a puddle straight into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it would run right back to the spring and guzzle water like mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Li Mu had moved Yaogu into the Blessed Field Art, the horse had become obsessed with that Spiritual Spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably because the Spiritual Spring could transform its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the spring kept bubbling up endlessly and there was no shortage of water in there anyway, Li Mu had not bothered with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already dug a small pool by the Spiritual Spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool had two overflow channels, and once it filled up, the water would spill into the two plots of medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no such thing as overwatering inside this Blessing Field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The herbs here could madly absorb nutrients from both the soil of the field and the Spiritual Spring at the same time, growing without limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their growth rate was dozens, even over a hundred times faster than outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just three to five days, Li Mu’s herbs had already become young plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that in another three days, they would become mature plants. As long as they sprouted large leaves, they could be used for alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu stood there with his hands on his hips, looking over those two small plots of land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all those herbs matured, he would probably be able to produce somewhere between ten and twenty High-Grade Body-Tempering Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wondered whether eating them like regular meals would lead to resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a headache...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Li Mu got up and headed straight for school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not seeing Zhang Zhiwei, he called him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spearman, where are you?
