Qingshan Town, Wanyaozhai.
Muli, dressed in a long black robe, stepped into the famous shop.
Although the main business is selling medicinal herbs, it is no exaggeration to call it a clinic because so many people come here every day for treatment of injuries.
"Young Commander Mu! What brings you here?"
Upon seeing Mu Li enter, the store manager immediately put on a smile and warmly greeted him.
"I've come to buy some medicinal herbs."
"Just tell me what you want, and I'll pick the best for you."
Thank you for your trouble.
Mu Li walked slowly through the medicine display window, selecting herbs, and everyone in the shop fell surprisingly quiet.
Everyone looked at Muli with surprise in their eyes, secretly marveling at his abilities.
"This is Mu Li, the young leader who caused the Blood War Mercenary Group such a huge loss. He not only led his team to kill Li Mu and more than a dozen Blood War Mercenaries, but also emptied Frey's treasure vault!"
"A few days ago, Mushe organized a large force to attack Bloodbath Camp. The fighting was fierce and chaotic. I heard that Frey fled Green Mountain Town with his remaining troops overnight yesterday. I don't know what happened to him now."
"That means the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has absorbed the Blood Battle Camp, significantly expanding their power. Many free mercenaries have joined Wolf Head, and now they have over two hundred mercenaries under their command!"
"Qingshan Town has truly changed."
Everyone chimed in with compliments and praises.
Mu Li remained calm as he continued selecting medicinal herbs.
A few days ago, Mu She used the Wind Chime Grass from Frey's Treasury to break through to the fourth star of the Battle Master, greatly increasing his strength.
He then used a large sum of money to recruit strong men, wiped out the Blood Battle Camp in one fell swoop, and took over the territory west of Qingshan Town.
Compared to Frey, Mu's magnanimity is undoubtedly greater.
They are also more sensitive to the current situation.
Money spent can be earned back, but taking down the Bloodbath Camp not only increased territory but also spread the Wolf Head's reputation, recruiting more mercenaries and becoming the true strongest force in Green Mountain Town.
Mushe's actions over the past two weeks have earned Muli's admiration.
If he hadn't met the protagonist Xiao Yan later, such a talent would never have stopped there.
"I don't want these medicinal herbs. Where is your warehouse?"
Mu Li walked to the end of the shop window and looked at the store manager with a slight frown.
"The warehouse...this...Commander Mu, without the Master's orders, we cannot bring outsiders in."
The store manager looked embarrassed but forced a smile.
"It's okay, you can talk to him about it later."
Muli gently patted the shop manager's shoulder in a soft tone.
The store manager's face stiffened, and he unconsciously swallowed.
"Take me in now, I won't make things difficult for you."
Mu Li looked inside the Wan Yao Zhai and, after confirming that the connection with the treasure chest in his mind matched, sighed.
"I've always had a good temper, except for a few people who just ignore what I say."
As he spoke, Mu Li looked at the store manager, and the coldness in his eyes sent a chill down the manager's spine.
"Please, please follow me."
The store manager forced himself to remain calm.
Today, Master Yao is away practicing medicine in other places with Little Fairy Doctor, so they are not in the temple.
He has the most power in the shop, but the key issue is that he will definitely be held accountable when Master Yao returns.
But under the growing threat of Mu Li's murderous intent, the store manager had no choice but to give in.
With the other party's guidance, Muli successfully arrived at the warehouse.
The store manager took out a key and unlocked the iron lock on the warehouse door.
"Young Commander Mu, please don't take too much, or I'll be finished."
Muli glanced at him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder again.
"Well done, I like people who know when to back down."
The store manager, who had not received any assurances, looked distressed and almost burst into tears.
Muli walked straight to the treasure chest's spawn point, picked it up, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The rules for obtaining treasure chests are quite strict; if you don't get this treasure chest, the next one won't appear.
If Muli continues to ignore the treasure chest or fails to obtain it, his path to advancement will definitely be hindered.
After Mu Li sensed that the location of the next treasure chest was in Wan Yao Zhai, he began to plot to obtain it.
However, the treasure chest was located inside the Wan Yao Zhai (Ten Thousand Medicines Hall), and given his status, he couldn't possibly get in.
Yao Xianzhi was a Dou Shi (Battle Master) level cultivator, so he couldn't force his way in.
Unless they reveal their trump card: the third-grade medicinal powder.
However, this would completely sever ties with Wan Yao Zhai, and thinking of Xiao Yi Xian's calamity-inducing poison body, Mu Li instantly became unwilling to take the risk.
This is a future Dou Zong powerhouse; making enemies with him would be tantamount to courting death.
Now that Yao Xianzhi and Xiao Yixian are out, we can get the treasure chest without directly clashing with them. We won't lose face; at most, we'll be scolded for being arrogant and domineering, but the consequences won't be too serious.
After obtaining the treasure chest, Mu Li pretended to look around the warehouse, took a piece of green fungus, and then stopped.
The store manager breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very fortunate that Mu Li had stopped short of doing something he shouldn't.
It's just a single Ganoderma lucidum plant; he's perfectly capable of shouldering the responsibility.
"Young Commander Mu, thank you for showing mercy."
"Hey, you risked your life to bring me into the warehouse, why would I do anything to make things difficult for you?"
Muli took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to the shopkeeper.
The store manager hurriedly caught it, subconsciously weighing it in his hand.
"Oh dear, what does Young Master Mu mean by this? This is absolutely not allowed!"
As he spoke, the shop manager was about to return the money bag to Mu Li.
"Don't rush, this money is for buying Ganoderma lucidum. Otherwise, how will you explain it to Yao Zhaizhu?"
"This, this, you don't need this much to buy Ganoderma lucidum."
"Consider the rest a reward for you."
Mu Li said no more and walked straight out of the shop.
Paying money to avoid trouble and getting the store manager to say a few good words for you is quite a good deal.
As the store manager watched Mu Li leave, he weighed the money pouch in his hand again, a look of joy on his face.
"Manager, did Muli take anything?"
"You brat, you should call him Young Commander Mu. Remember that from now on. Be respectful. Don't let him hold a grudge over a moment's carelessness. It's not worth it."
"Tch, that's what I call it in private."
Although many people know that Muli is very famous now, not all of them admire him; a large number of people still look down on him.
He's just a mercenary, what's so great about him?
The store manager shook his head and didn't say anything more.
A person who can make him break out in a cold sweat with just a glance is no ordinary character.
His way of handling things also prevented him from harboring too much resentment; in fact, he even felt a bit of joy.
"They only took one Ganoderma lucidum plant and paid for it. Don't add fuel to the fire or spread rumors, or you'll get yourself into trouble."
After the shopkeeper had the green sesame recorded in the accounts, he counted out the corresponding gold coins and put them into the box. He then shook the money bag, which made a crisp sound.
"I still have a lot of money left from what they gave me, so I'll treat everyone to a big meal tonight."
"Great!"
The shop assistants were pleasantly surprised.
