Muli returned home and secluded himself again.
He's addicted to seclusion; that's what he's like now.
Upon arriving at the secret location, Muli couldn't wait to open the third bronze treasure chest.
A familiar green light flashed by, and Muli saw a clear glass medicine bottle placed inside the box.
It's not a cultivation technique...
Slightly disappointed, Muli picked up the delicate container filled with emerald green liquid.
"Wood Spirit Saliva can improve the purity of wood-attribute battle qi. After consumption, it can greatly increase the cultivation speed of battle qi in a short period of time."
After reading the introduction, Mu Li's previous disappointment vanished, and his gaze became intense.
This tiny bottle of green liquid can actually increase the purity of battle qi!
It is important to know that the primary factor determining the purity of battle qi is the cultivation technique.
The battle qi cultivated using Xuan-rank techniques is far purer and more powerful than that cultivated using Huang-rank techniques.
If it can improve the purity of battle qi, it would be a pretty good treasure.
Muli formed a hand seal and sat in meditation. After his breathing stabilized, he swallowed the Wood Spirit Saliva in one gulp.
A continuous stream of essential energy exploded within his body, and Mu Li quickly changed his hand seals, refining the pure energy with all his might.
Under the influence of the Wood Spirit Saliva, the wood-attribute battle qi within his body was continuously condensed and compressed. The originally withered yellow battle qi had now turned somewhat emerald green, and the misty battle qi form gradually transformed into strands that spun rapidly around Mu Li.
An hour later, the color of Mu Li's battle aura had turned a vibrant green, solidifying like a bolt of lightning, and its power was several times stronger than before.
"call!"
Muli opened his eyes, his golden pupils gleaming.
Nine Stars of the Fighter!
He broke through two levels in a row, reaching the peak of the Fighter stage.
It has become stronger, and it has also turned green.
Mu Li looked at his battle aura, which had acquired a new color, with a strange expression.
Putting aside the green color, the intensity of this battle aura is probably something that even some low-level Xuan-rank techniques cannot achieve.
"The treasure chest contains few items, but they are all of high quality."
Mu Li let out a long breath, savoring the joy of his improved strength.
After a long while, Mu Li's state of mind returned to normal, and his fighting spirit condensed beneath his feet.
Whoosh!
Inside the sealed room, several illusory figures flashed by, their positions impossible to pinpoint.
After thoroughly studying the divination texts, Mu Li had already grasped the basics of the profound mysteries of the Six Ren Body Technique.
Even at the beginner level, this terrifying speed and unpredictable movement are far beyond what Mu She's advanced Yellow-rank fighting technique, Phoenix Step.
The next second, Muli suddenly appeared at the door of the secret chamber, pressed the mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened.
After the passage opened, Mu Li once again transformed into a phantom, appearing a few meters away the next second. In this way, Mu Li's figure kept disappearing and reappearing, and within a few seconds he arrived at the gate of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
"Who is it?"
The guards at the gate jumped in alarm, drew their weapons, and pointed them behind them.
Muli vanished in a flash, then snatched the weapon and shoved it back into the air.
"Good alertness, keep it up."
Muli's voice rang out, and the guards immediately knew who had arrived.
"Yes, Young Commander!"
Muli said no more and quickly disappeared from the guards' sight.
The guard stared in the direction where Muli had disappeared, deeply shocked.
The young commander's strength is growing more and more formidable; it's truly terrifying.
...
"Li'er, the Thunder Beast Mercenary Group has sent a letter seeking an alliance. What should I say in response?"
The increasingly imposing Mu She sat on the jade chair, looking troubled.
"Father can answer however he wants, why ask ***?"
"Oh well, let's not talk about this."
Mu She didn't spend much time on the alliance letter, instead asking, "Now that the Blood Battle Camp's territory is short of a manager, Li'er, are you confident you can manage the mercenaries there for your father?"
"Farewell, Father. I only want to cultivate now. Leave the management of people to the deputy commanders."
"You brat, why don't you have any motivation? Commander Lei isn't much older than you, but he's already a regimental commander and has complete control over the situation in Beihe Town. You should put some effort into your career and stop spending all your time in the secret room thinking nonsense."
Mu Li didn't take Mu She's words seriously.
"I don't like doing these things, but Father is right. I've been cooped up at home all day, and my bones have become a bit loose. Tomorrow I'll lead some men into the mountains to kill some magical beasts."
"Whatever you want, just bring enough people and don't go deep into the mountains."
Mu Li had done this many times before, so Mu She was at ease.
Since Muli isn't interested in managing the team, let Hermon do it.
After a moment's thought, a dangerous glint appeared in Mu She's eyes.
I've given you the chance, but don't let me down, my Third Regiment Commander.
...
The next morning, Muli prepared his men early and they went into the mountains together.
As they passed by Wan Yao Zhai, the accompanying mercenaries happened to see Wan Yao Zhai recruiting mercenaries to join the mountain and immediately alerted Mu Li.
"Young Commander, Wan Yao Zhai is hiring mercenaries, and it seems that Little Fairy Doctor is among them."
Muli glanced at the mercenary who had brought the message, then smiled.
It seems these people have a deep impression of their fondness for Little Fairy Doctor.
However, he did not go into the mountains to hunt monsters this time.
Muli's real target was the treasure chest that appeared in the Monster Mountain Range.
When this treasure chest appeared, Muli almost jumped for joy.
I wish I could go into the mountains to get it that very night.
After roughly sensing the distance, Muli knew that it was close to the central region of the Monster Mountain Range, which was extremely dangerous.
Even so, he quickly organized a team to go into the mountains, all for the sake of this treasure chest.
The treasure chest was of a very high level, reaching the purple-gold level.
Mu Li couldn't imagine what might be inside—a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, a ninth-grade elixir?
Or perhaps a strange fire, or a rare and precious material?
Mu Li, who was filled with anticipation, only wanted to go into the mountains to find the treasure chest and had absolutely no interest in Little Fairy Doctor.
Women can only take a backseat when faced with true strength.
If you become stronger, what woman won't you have?
Moreover, Little Fairy Doctor is too poisonous; her Calamity Poison Body is not something an ordinary person can touch.
You might unknowingly be poisoned to death while in bed.
Ignoring the recruitment from Wan Yao Zhai, Mu Li led his men directly out of the town gate of Qingshan Town and headed towards the Monster Mountain Range.
...
call out!
boom!
Mu Li casually dispatched a second-tier magical beast, the Ice Wolf, in two moves, and ordered his men to dispose of the beast's corpse and collect valuable materials.
After traveling for a while, it was already evening. The group found a flat area and set up camp to rest.
"Young Commander, it seems that the people from Wan Yao Zhai are also nearby."
Muli nodded, without giving it much thought.
His mind was now completely focused on the purple-gold dot in his head.
According to the sensor, the treasure chest is located a dozen kilometers ahead, and it will take about half an hour to reach it tomorrow.
Muli did not choose to act at night because the Monster Forest was extremely dangerous at night, and there was no guarantee that he would not encounter any high-level monsters.
Although the treasure chest is important, life is more precious.
After a brief deliberation, Muli decided to take action tomorrow.
