Li Zhengming's face darkened even further. A perfectly reasonable and legitimate request was casually duped by someone else with some scraps. How could this be considered as taking advantage of others and being secretly happy? If it was Meng Tong, you'd better show me how happy you are!
Three sets of Foundation Building Pill materials, in theory, were indeed enough to refine three Foundation Building Pills. It was also enough for him, Li Zhengming, to break through to Foundation Building Realm. But the problem was, as a mere newcomer in Blue Cloud Pavilion, where would he find the financial resources to find a Pill Master to help refine it?
At the Pill Hall, no matter what kind of pill was refined, other than needing to provide the materials himself, there was another basic condition, which was to hand over two hundred spiritual jades. One had to know that even Senior Brother Ku Bi, who had many years of savings, couldn't meet this condition, let alone Li Zhengming, a mere Heaven Stage Great Circle newcomer?
The greatest value of a pill wasn't in the materials, but in the refining process! Not to mention three sets of materials, even if it was five or eight sets, no Pill Master could guarantee that they could definitely refine one Foundation Building Pill!
Putting aside the Pill Hall, if he wanted to go to the city square to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, it would cost at least two hundred and fifty spirit jades. He, Li Zhengming, simply did not have this purchasing power!
In other words, the three sets of Foundation Building Pill materials that Meng Jueguang gave him were completely useless. Meng Jueguang must have completely expected this result, but he still had to pretend to be a good person here!
Looking at Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong's faces, thinking about how blind he was to sell his life for these kinds of people, Li Zhengming simply felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart!
"Then thank you, Senior Brother Meng, for your concern." Li Zhengming could only forcefully suppress his sullen depression and feigned civility with the other party.
Meng Jueguang chuckled, "Zhengming, it's good that you can understand my painstaking efforts. I'm very gratified. Work hard in the future, I definitely won't mistreat you."
"Of course, I definitely won't disappoint Senior Brother Meng's expectations." The corner of Li Zhengming's mouth twitched unconsciously. How stupid must I be to believe Meng Jueguang's bullshit that he wouldn't mistreat me!
Now that things had come to this, he had completely lost hope in Meng Jueguang. If not for the fact that he wanted to continue working as a mole for Lin Yi. He even had the intention to fall out with the other party in front of everyone. Fortunately, his forbearance was far above that of an ordinary person. No matter how disgusted he felt, he would not let it go. He could also continue to endure it.
In addition to the consideration of continuing to be a spy for Lin Yi, what Meng Tong said just now also made him very concerned. Meng Tong actually said that he was about to advance a step further!
Just now, when Xu Lingchong and Meng Jueguang were talking. They purposely found a remote corner. Even Li Zhengming couldn't get too close, so he didn't know what these people were planning. However, he could already be sure that what these people were talking about was definitely related to the words that Meng Tong blurted out just now!
As for Meng Tong's casual words, if one carefully pondered over them, There was a great mystery hidden in this!
Meng Tong had just built his foundation not long ago. Furthermore, he relied on the Foundation Building Elixir and Foundation Building Elixir to barely succeed. Logically speaking, with his foundation, he wouldn't be able to advance a step further within a few years. But this guy actually shouted out such words now!
And judging from this tone, these words shouldn't be Meng Tong's daydreaming. It was real and practical. Then the biggest possibility was that Xu Lingchong and Meng Jueguang had reached some kind of agreement in private. And to be able to let Meng Tong advance a step further in a short period of time, it could be seen that Young Master Xu was preparing to pay a big price again!
Although with Li Zhengming's vision, it was hard to imagine anything that could let Meng Tong, this kind of trash with a weak foundation, advance a step further in a short period of time, there was no doubt about this information. It had to be revealed to Boss Lin Yi as soon as possible, so that they could prepare early.
Li Zhengming knew that with Lin Yi's hidden strength at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Building, even if Meng Tong was able to advance a step further, it was still impossible for him to pose any substantial threat to him.
However, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai were different. Although the two of them were already in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, if they were to face Meng Tong, who was at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it would be very bad for them.
After receiving three sets of Foundation Building Elixir materials from Meng Jueguang, late that night, Li Zhengming took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the surroundings and went to Lin Yi's cave number one at the foot of the mountain.
"Zhengming, why did you come personally?" Seeing Li Zhengming appear at the entrance of his cave, Lin Yi couldn't help but be astonished, and then immediately led him into the cave.
As Lin Yi's spy, in order to ensure his concealment and safety, under normal circumstances, Li Zhengming had to avoid any contact with Lin Yi. Even if he wanted to pass on information, it would be through secret codes and notes, and absolutely not face-to-face communication.
After all, no matter what, Meng Jueguang could be considered a cunning old fox. Moreover, with so many new Blue Cloud Pavilion members under his command, he had many eyes and ears. No matter how careful Li Zhengming was, once he came into contact with Lin Yi, it would be very easy for him to give himself away, and the outcome would be very hard to say.
Since ancient times, traitors were always more hateful than enemies. Perhaps Meng Jueguang wouldn't do anything to Lin Yi's underlings like Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, but if he discovered that Li Zhengming had betrayed him and become Lin Yi's spy, he might really take the risk and kill him out of desperation.
However, the reason why Li Zhengming took the risk to personally appear at Lin Yi's cave this time, was because he had another purpose.
"Boss Lin Yi, I inadvertently found out some information from Meng Tong's words today, and I feel that I need to report it to you." Li Zhengming's face was serious, and he immediately told everything that Meng Tong had said before, as well as his own analysis and conjecture, to Lin Yi.
"There's actually such a thing? It seems that this Young Master Xu is really willing to invest this kind of capital on Meng Tong, he really thinks highly of me!" After listening, Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned and speechless.
His analysis was exactly the same as Li Zhengming's. Although he didn't know what kind of capital Xu Lingchong and Meng Jueguang were prepared to invest, one thing was certain, and that was, as Lin Yi had previously guessed, the other party couldn't hold back and was going to make a move.
From Meng Tong's words, it could already eliminate the possibility that Senior Brother had previously speculated. What he meant was definitely not as simple as using the limit of the Gold Core to temporarily increase his strength, but to actually increase his strength from the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
