Chapter 167: #167 - Chapter 167 Fatty Zhong

That evening, Wang Xiao contacted Jin Jingxuan through the Dream-Eating Worm!

"Auntie, my master told me something. He stayed in Golden Bell City to help your Jin family safeguard something!"

Wang Xiao originally thought that Jin Jingxuan would be very surprised to hear this news.

However, she just replied faintly: "I know!"

"Auntie knows? Then do you know what it is?"

"A ninth-level magic crystal!"

Wang Xiao was a little confused and asked, "Auntie knows it's a ninth-level magic crystal, such a precious thing, why didn't you come and take it away?"

Jin Jingxuan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Wang Xiao, what do you think of your master?"

Wang Xiao answered truthfully: "My master is a very nice person. He has been guarding Golden Bell City for more than 30 years for a promise, and the treasure he is helping the Jin family to keep is also very important to him. Even so, he did not take this thing for himself. There are not many people in the world like my master..."

Jin Jingxuan said: "I only learned from my father's message after the family was robbed that Senior Sun Hong was a friend of my grandfather, so my grandfather left the thing to him for safekeeping!

However, I bear the only hope of revenge for the family and must act cautiously. I dare not trust anyone except my own family!"

Wang Xiao frowned: "Are you worried that my master will be detrimental to you for this magic crystal?"

Jin Jingxuan nodded without hesitation: "It is indispensable to be cautious! I don't know much about Senior Sun Hong!

A ninth-level magic crystal is too tempting for a Gu Master who has been stuck at the peak of the eighth level for many years!

Many Gu Masters can do anything to go further!

Therefore, I have always been afraid to retrieve the magic crystal, for fear of sending myself into the tiger's mouth, with no return!"

Hearing Jin Jingxuan suspecting his master, Wang Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.

But when Wang Xiao stood in Jin Jingxuan's position and thought about it, he felt that what she did was not unreasonable!

From ancient times to the present, has there been a lack of betrayals for the sake of profit? What's more, the ninth-level magic crystal is no longer a simple matter of profit, it also represents infinite power and endless power!

If anyone were Jin Jingxuan, they would definitely be wary!

Not to mention her, didn't Wang Xiao also have a lot of suspicion about Sun Hong at the beginning?

He had not told his master about secrets such as the Mang Gu Zhu Toad and the Boundary-Breaking Pill before, just because he was afraid of revealing too many secrets and worried that Sun Hong would be detrimental to him.

As Jin Jingxuan said, it is indispensable to be cautious!

Jin Jingxuan added: "Besides worrying that your master will be detrimental to me, I don't need that magic crystal for the time being!

Gu Master cultivation is more difficult step by step! I have only entered the eighth level for a few years, and it will take at least fifty or sixty years to cultivate to the peak of the eighth level and reach the realm of impacting the ninth level!

Therefore, I don't need to take risks for something that I can only use in fifty or sixty years!"

After communicating with Jin Jingxuan, Wang Xiao withdrew from her dream.

Wang Xiao didn't tell his master about Jin Jingxuan's true identity. After all, this was a matter between Sun Hong and the Jin family. Since both sides had their own considerations, Wang Xiao didn't plan to intervene!

............

The next morning, Wang Xiao came to the teahouse in the school!

He asked for a private room, ordered a pot of good tea, and sipped it leisurely.

Before long, Zhong Li pushed the door in! After not seeing him for more than three years, this guy's size has increased again!

Wang Xiao greeted with a smile: "Good morning, Fatty Zhong!"

"Damn you! I told you, don't call me Fatty Zhong!"

"Okay, Fatty Zhong!"

"Then you still call me that!"

"Sorry, Fatty Zhong!"

"Damn it! Call me whatever you want, what do you want me here for?"

"What's the matter? Don't you know? I invested millions of spirit stones in you and have been doing business together for so long, you should give me dividends, right?"

"Dividends?" Zhong Li spread his hands: "No money!"

"No money? Fatty Zhong, you are always boasting that you are a business genius, and you are embarrassed to say that you have no money? You don't want to embezzle my money, do you!"

"Bullshit! I, Fatty Zhong... No, I, Zhong Li, am destined to become the greatest businessman in the Gu Master world, how could I embezzle your little money!"

"Then why are you telling me you have no money?"

"To tell you the truth! Our Chongxiao Tower has made a lot of money in the past few years. In Golden Bell City, it can already compete with Wan's Chamber of Commerce!

However, all the money earned has been used by me to open branches. Now there are branches of our Chongxiao Tower in ten cities within the Sky City jurisdiction!"

Wang Xiao glanced at Zhong Li in surprise. This fatty is good, he has something!

In just over three years, he has spread the business so widely?

Wang Xiao smiled, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhong Li.

"Dividends are not important for now. Find a way to collect this list of materials for me!"

Zhong Li took it over and looked at it, his face turned green: "Wang Xiao, you took a batch of my materials for nothing last time in Sky City, and now you want to get something for free again? Don't even think about it! Don't even think about getting something for free again!"

Wang Xiao smiled slightly, and casually took out a pill and tossed it in his hand!

He deliberately said: "Hey, you won't even help with this little favor! I'm wasting my time treating you as a brother, always thinking about your cultivation. I originally wanted to help you break through to become a third-level Gu Master!"

Zhong Li's eyes lit up immediately!

He recognized the pill in Wang Xiao's hand!

Three years ago, Zhong Li's cultivation was stuck at the first-level bottleneck and he could not break through to the second level. At that time, Wang Xiao gave him this kind of pill, and with just three pills, he easily advanced to become a second-level Gu Master.

(Note: The Boundary-Breaking Pill does not necessarily allow one to advance by eating one pill. It depends on the individual's aptitude. Zhong Li's cultivation aptitude was too poor, so he used three pills to break through!)

Zhong Li knew that his talent for cultivation was not good, so he focused his energy on business.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to advance. Who doesn't want to become a high-level Gu Master? You must know that every time a Gu Master improves a level, it not only represents powerful combat power, but also means a much longer lifespan!

In the past few years, Zhong Li has been willing to use a lot of pills to increase his cultivation, and he has finally cultivated to the peak of the second level, but he is stuck at the bottleneck again, and there is no movement.

He very much hopes that Wang Xiao will give him some more pills to help him break through to become a third-level Gu Master.

Therefore, after seeing the Boundary-Breaking Pill, his eyes lit up immediately.

Next, Zhong Li showed his face-changing skills!

His face was immediately filled with a smile, he quickly poured a cup of tea for Wang Xiao, and then said with a flattering smile: "Hey, I was just joking! We are brothers, your business is my business, I will collect the materials on this list for you very soon!"

Wang Xiao pretended to say: "Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"No trouble! No trouble! I, Zhong Li, can stab myself in the ribs for my brothers, how can this little thing be called trouble!"

"Okay!"

Wang Xiao reluctantly handed out the list in his hand!

Most of the items on this list are alchemy materials, including the medicinal materials that Wang Xiao lacks to refine the fourth-grade Boundary-Breaking Pill.

In addition, there are also some materials he lacks to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Wang Xiao has been thinking about Li Nan's natal Gu, and wants to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu as soon as possible!
