Putting aside the fact that his hidden strength wasn't something that someone like Meng Tong could compete with, just the fact that he had planted two spies, Li Zhengming and Zhong Pingliang, was enough to give him the upper hand in many things. Naturally, he didn't have to worry too much about the so-called conspiracies.
In the fifth round of the Newcomer Challenge, because of the arrival of Xu Lingchong's group, every match was full of the smell of gunpowder, but there weren't too many twists and turns. In the end, Li Zhengming defeated the challenger once again. As for Lin Yi, the publicly recognized number one newcomer, he played an entire round of soy sauce.
After the challenge ended, the newcomers dispersed. However, Li Zhengming, who had just won a match and gained a lot of points, didn't look much better because of this. He didn't go back to his cave like the other newcomers, but went straight to find Meng Jueguang, his real support in name.
"Senior Brother Meng, I have some ideas about Lin Yi's group, I don't know if I can report it to you, Senior Brother?" Li Zhengming deliberately squeezed out a smile and walked to Meng Jueguang's side.
"Oh? Zhengming, what ideas do you have? Tell me. "Hearing that it was related to Lin Yi, Meng Jueguang immediately became interested.
However, Meng Tong, who was beside him, curled his lips in disdain. "He's just a Heaven Stage Full Cycle, what ideas can he have? It's just empty talk, a waste of time."
Although Meng Tong had not recovered from his serious injuries, because of what happened just now, his spirit was completely different from before. He was completely immersed in the joy of becoming a peak early stage Foundation Establishment master. A mere Heaven Stage Full Cycle like Li Zhengming was nothing to him.
Hearing that, Li Zhengming couldn't help but want to curse. Damn Meng Tong, if you didn't get the foundation elixir from Xu Lingchong and use it together with the foundation elixir, do you think you can succeed in building your foundation?
Come to think of it, during the trial in the back mountain. If I hadn't sacrificed my own elixirs and cooperated with you, you wouldn't even have been able to obtain this Foundation Establishment Pill. Now, you actually have the face to mock me for being weak? This person is too shameless!
However … Li Zhengming suppressed his anger. Ignoring Meng Tong's sarcastic remarks, he turned to Meng Jueguang and said, "Senior Martial Brother Meng, you saw it too. Lin Yi's group already has three Early-stage Foundation Building cultivators, while we only have Boss Meng Tong. If this goes on, the overall gap will only grow bigger and bigger! So I think the most important thing right now is to do it. We need to find someone to share the burden with Boss Meng Tong. Only then can we block Lin Yi's attack and regain the initiative in the future. "
Hearing that, Meng Jueguang immediately fell silent. They were all smart people. Although Li Zhengming didn't say it directly, his meaning was already very clear. He wanted to be like Meng Tong. Stand up and deal with Lin Yi's group!
If it was just this simple hot-blooded idea, Meng Jueguang wouldn't be put in a difficult position. The key was that Li Zhengming wasn't a brainless trash like Meng Tong. With his current strength of Heaven Stage, wanting to stand up and challenge Lin Yi's group of three Early-stage Foundation Building cultivators was simply a fool's talk. Moreover, he would absolutely not do that.
The key point of Li Zhengming's words was that he wanted to become the person who could share the burden with Meng Tong, and the prerequisite was naturally that he had that kind of strength. At the very least, he had to be an Early-stage Foundation Building expert!
And if he wanted to break through to Foundation Building in a short period of time, then he must have the coordination of medicinal pills. Not to mention the Foundation Building Elixir like Meng Tong did, at the very least, a Foundation Building Elixir was the most basic!
This was what Meng Jueguang found difficult. In terms of strength and loyalty, in his opinion, Li Zhengming was already qualified enough. Normally, giving him a Foundation Building Elixir wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem was that he didn't have a Foundation Building Elixir on hand!
For a Young Master like Xu Lingchong, a mere Foundation Building Elixir was nothing in his eyes. Even if it was Foundation Building Elixir that couldn't be bought in the market, he could get it with just a call. But for Meng Jueguang, this matter wasn't so easy to handle.
Although he was the Big Brother in charge of the newcomers in Blue Cloud Pavilion and was in charge of the distribution of the newcomers' benefits, it seemed like he had quite a bit of power, but the resources in his hands had never included the Foundation Building Elixir.
One had to know that in the early years, due to the lack of resources, the Welcome Pavilion didn't even provide the Foundation Building Elixir to the newcomers. If the newcomers wanted to break through to Foundation Building, the biggest thing they relied on was the training cave and a bit of spirit jade.
The Foundation Building Elixir, on the other hand, was a benefit that had only appeared in recent years, and the quantity was extremely limited. Usually, it would be left for the last few newcomers with the best performance.
Until this year, due to the special care of the Miracle Doctor Zhang Liju, who was far away in Middle Island, the amount of Foundation Building Elixir distributed to the Welcome Pavilion had increased exponentially. This was why the first month of the Back Mountain Trials was rewarded with Foundation Building Elixir. This was something unimaginable in previous years.
But even so, with Meng Jueguang's position, he still couldn't interfere with the distribution of the Foundation Building Elixir. The reason was simple, he was only a Senior Disciple in charge of the Welcome Pavilion, and he was far from qualified.
In the entire Welcome Pavilion, there were only two people who had the right to speak on the distribution of the Foundation Building Elixir. One was the Head Hu Yunfeng, and the other was the Vice Head Feng Song. According to the rules, the Third Head had a certain amount of right to speak, but Lu Bianren had long since become a marginal character, and he was about to be kicked out, so naturally, he wasn't considered.
If it was said that Meng Jueguang had already replaced Lu Bianren as the Third Head, he would be able to interfere with the distribution of the Foundation Building Elixir out of respect for Young Master Xu, but unfortunately, he wasn't the Third Head yet.
The distribution of the Foundation Building Elixir had nothing to do with him, and as a master who was about to break through to the middle phase of the Foundation Building Elixir, there was no way he would store elixirs that he couldn't use. What could he do?
However, if Meng Jueguang just rejected Li Zhengming's request and said that he couldn't do anything about it, it wouldn't make sense. This wasn't because he suddenly found his conscience, but because of all sorts of deeper concerns.
Not only was it embarrassing to do this in front of his follower, but if word of this got out, it would be a huge blow to his reputation as the Head Senior Disciple!
After all, Li Zhengming was the first new disciple under him, other than Meng Tong. Compared to the other new disciples, Li Zhengming was obviously stronger, and it could be said that he was willing to work without complaint. Even if he didn't make any big contributions, at least he had put in blood, sweat, and tears.
