Zhao Ying nodded, "Opening a restaurant … Will the Public House agree?"
"You don't know? The Public House encourages this. "Chu Li smiled," Sister, don't worry. Leave it to me. I will handle it. "
He had lived two lives and had a thirst for power. He was more concerned about the bigger picture. He had analyzed all of this before.
The Public House had strict rules that forbade bullying and using their status as guards. If they did, they would be punished according to the Public House's rules.
Most people thought that the Public House forbade guards from doing business but Chu Li knew that it was for different industries. Normal industries were not allowed but restaurants were not.
"Three hundred thousand silver …" Zhao Ying shook her head, "Those bastards deserve to die!"
Needless to say, these silvers were obtained from robberies. How many people did they rob, and how many people died in vain under their blades? The Raging Tiger Troupe always killed people directly when they robbed, leaving no way out. That was why their evil deeds had not been exposed, and they had been able to live freely until now!
"Using the money to build a place for them to live is the right way."
"Okay, let's try it!"
"Leave it to me!"
"Oh right, what is your martial arts level now?"
"Innate Mastery."
"I thought I couldn't cultivate inner energy without foundation?"
Chu Li smiled.
"Did you have some kind of adventure?"
"Sort of."
"What adventure?" Zhao Ying's eyes lit up and asked excitedly.
Chu Li shook his head, "Nothing much. I just ate a fruit and that's it."
"What fruit?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's the Transformation Fruit."
Zhao Ying tilted her head and asked curiously, "Could it be that this fruit can help you build your foundation?"
Chu Li smiled, "You'll know when you read some books."
"Brother, you're too lucky."
Chu Li shook his head, "If I was lucky, I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to build my foundation and wouldn't have to suffer so much."
"That's true." Zhao Ying nodded.
She had seen Chu Li's predicament with her own eyes. Because he couldn't cultivate without foundation, he had suffered too much. He had been mocked and humiliated by others.
"When did you eat the Transformation Fruit?"
Chu Li shook his head and changed the topic. "The Metamorphosis Fruit can only make up for the foundation building. Innate Mastery still has to be cultivated by oneself. It can't be achieved overnight. In this world, there is no miraculous medicine that can allow one to reach innate mastery just by eating it."
"Innate …" Zhao Ying sighed.
When she thought of the Congenital Realm, she felt as if she was standing at the foot of a towering mountain that pierced through the clouds. She was filled with fear and didn't have the confidence to climb over it.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Your foundation is very solid, it won't be a problem!"
"Yes!" Zhao Ying nodded vigorously to encourage herself.
Senior Martial Brother had given him a lot of Tendon-Clearing Pills. His meridians were much stronger than ordinary people, and he had a huge advantage over others. He would definitely be able to enter the Xiantian Realm!
The two of them used their Light-body Technique and their speed was not any slower than riding a horse. After running for half a day, Zhao Ying's inner energy was depleted. Chu Li placed his hand on her back and channeled an endless stream of inner energy into her.
She could feel the purity and depth of Chu Li's inner energy. Out of curiosity, she asked him what heart technique he was cultivating. When she heard that it was the Infinite Azure Sea, she was shocked.
The Infinite Azure Sea was very famous, but very few people cultivated it. It was because she was very curious about it. She heard that it was extremely powerful, and that it could be used to defeat the masters of the same generation. However, cultivating it was like drinking poison to quench thirst. It was no different from suicide.
"Senior Martial Brother, the Infinite Azure Sea is very dangerous."
"I know."
"Then why are you cultivating it? … Oh, I understand now, the Tendon-Clearing Grass! "
She slapped her forehead and suddenly understood. The Tendon-Clearing Grass made the meridians extraordinarily tough, and could withstand the overlaying of inner energy. It could also reduce the harm caused by the Infinite Azure Sea.
Chu Li smiled.
"No wonder." She also understood why Chu Li was so powerful and invincible. The power of the Infinite Azure Sea was not just for show.
The two of them rushed back to the Public House in one breath. After entering the Public House, they went their separate ways. Zhao Ying went to the Martial Arts Hall to submit her mission, while Chu Li went back to the East Garden to recuperate.
In the evening, Chu Li went to the Moonlight Orchid Garden after dinner. The Moonlight Orchid emitted a warm glow, like a crescent moon, it was beautiful.
Without the nourishment of his spiritual energy, the Nightmare Flower grew very slowly. It bloomed tonight. The Moonlight Orchid, on the other hand, was growing very well. There were already three seedlings. Li Yue had done a good job.
Light footsteps could be heard, bringing with it a faint fragrance. Chu Li turned his head and saw Su Ru in an apricot gown walking towards him. She was beautiful.
She waved her hand, indicating that Chu Li did not need to be so polite. She sat opposite him. "Well done!"
Chu Li sat down and poured her a cup of tea. "Did you receive it?"
"Yes." Su Ru took the cup and took a sip. She smiled. "Li Yue's tea is really good. It's quite interesting … Lady Xiao is very satisfied."
Chu Li smiled.
"Was the journey smooth?" Su Ru looked at him with a faint smile. "Was the Protector competent?"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Thank you, Chief!"
Su Ru waved her hand. "Don't thank me. I've given you a chance. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself."
"That was a close call. We encountered the Raging Tiger Troupe."
"The Raging Tiger Troupe … I've heard of them."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Does the Public House know about the Raging Tiger Troupe's actions?"
Su Ru saw that his expression was not right. She frowned. "Did they offend you?"
"It's fine if they offended me, but they …" Chu Li scoffed and told her everything they had done. Su Ru pursed her lips and stared at him with a gloomy face. The air around them seemed to have frozen.
She was also an Innate Master. Her aura was extraordinary. She was able to combine her acquired environment with her cultivation level to form a tangible force.
"Damn it!" Su Ru said coldly. "The patrol of the Public House should die!"
Chu Li shook his head. "This incident was originally the responsibility of the Public House. But they robbed and killed. No one reported it. If the Public House turned a blind eye to it, there's really no way to get involved!"
No matter which dynasty or which court, the bureaucrats were all the same. They would not take the initiative to solve problems.
Su Ru scoffed. "This is the responsibility of the patrol. These people did not do anything. I will report this to Lady Xiao. She will investigate this thoroughly!"
"The Raging Tiger Troupe has been destroyed." Chu Li shook his head and told her what he had done. Su Ru's eyes widened in disbelief.
Chu Li shrugged. "There are only a few pitiful women left in the Raging Tiger Troupe. Lady Xiao can send someone to take a look."
Su Ru frowned and pondered for a moment. She thought about it from beginning to end. She asked, "The Raging Tiger Troupe has an Innate Master, right?"
Chu Li nodded and told her about his adventure. It was the same as what he had told Zhao Ying.
"So you're an Innate Master now?"
"Yes."
"Then do you want to challenge the Ranking Tower?"
"I don't want to be a Protector. Being a Scribe is good."
"Being a Scribe is good … interesting!" Su Ru pursed her lips and smiled. "There aren't many people as smart as you. They're all attracted by the high salary of being a Protector."
Chu Li said, "These women are pitiful. I want to open a restaurant in town so they can support themselves. The Raging Tiger Troupe has a lot of money."
He did not hide his gains. A place like the Raging Tiger Troupe must have a lot of money. It would not be nice to hide it. The rule of the Public House was that they could keep what they earned.
"Opening a restaurant …" Su Ru frowned and shook her head. "It's not that easy. But your idea is good. They should support themselves so they don't have to think about it all day long."
As a woman, she liked Chu Li's way of doing things.
"The key to a restaurant is the taste. If the food is not good, they can't do anything." Su Ru thought about it and said, "We need to find a way to poach a few chefs from the Fairy's Capital!"
"Yes."
"Alright, leave it to me. I'll help you this once for their sake!"
"Thank you, Chief!" Chu Li closed fist saluted. He pondered for a while and said, "Destroying the Raging Tiger Troupe this time was like poking a hornet's nest."
"Good job!" Su Ru scoffed. "What hornet's nest?"
Chu Li shook his head. "The leader of the Raging Tiger Troupe knows the Sentient Menace."
"What?!" Su Ru was stunned. Her expression changed. "The Sentient Menace?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
"The Tempest Temple … This is really troublesome!" Su Ru stood up. "This won't do. I have to report this to Lady Xiao immediately!"
"There are no survivors. I don't think it will spread out."
"The four major sects have a long history. Their secret techniques are endless. It's impossible to guard against them!" Su Ru turned her slim waist and floated away. She waved her hand at him with her back facing him.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. This was really troublesome. The Tempest Temple would not sit idly by if that person had the secret manual of the Sentient Menace.
He came to the shore and stood under the willow tree in deep thought. The moonlight reflected on the surface of the lake. The sparkling waves shone on his calm face.
The Tempest Temple was not an ordinary faction. According to the books he read and the information he obtained, the Public House was not as strong as the Tempest Temple.
After a while, Xiao Qi and Su Ru arrived. They stood side by side at the bow of the boat. Xiao Qi's clothes were as white as snow. She looked like an otherworldly fairy.
The moonlight reflected on her face. Her eyes were like stars, shining brightly.
The two of them floated in front of him with a faint fragrance.
"My Lady." Chu Li closed fist saluted.
Xiao Qi waved her hand and said, "The Tempest Temple?"
Chu Li said, "Actually, that person has the secret manual of the Sentient Menace."
Su Ru turned to look at Xiao Qi. "My Lady, this is bad!"
Xiao Qi frowned and looked at Chu Li. "You found it?"
Chu Li nodded.
Su Ru was not happy at all. She stomped her feet. "This is troublesome!"
Xiao Qi frowned. "What do you think?"
Chu Li said, "I think I can cultivate it."
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him. "Stop dreaming. If it's that easy, the martial arts of the Tempest Temple would have been spread all over the world!"
Xiao Qi waved her hand. "That's not necessarily true. There are many secret manuals of the Tempest Temple, but no one has been able to cultivate it."
Chu Li frowned. "It doesn't seem that difficult, does it?"
After reading the secret manual, he felt that it did not take much effort to cultivate it. His progress was also very fast.
"The more powerful the martial arts of the Tempest Temple, the more profound the dharmic base is required. Without enough dharmic base, it's impossible to cultivate it." Xiao Qi said, "The monks of the Tempest Temple are also divided into civil and martial arts. Once you enter the temple, you must first learn dharmic base for ten years and cultivate along with the foundation. Only when you have enough dharmic base can you cultivate martial arts to protect the temple and subdue demons. Without enough dharmic base, you are not allowed to cultivate martial arts."
"So they are not afraid of martial arts being spread around?"
"The secret manual of the Sentient Menace is not hard to find, but no one dares to cultivate it." Xiao Qi shook her head. "That's why there is no one in the library or the Martial Arts Hall."
"Why?" Su Ru asked curiously.
Xiao Qi said, "Once you cultivate the Sentient Menace, you will go astray. Some people suspected that there was a problem with the secret manual, but later it was found out that it was not the secret manual, but the dharmic base."
Su Ru asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"The martial arts of the Tempest Temple have demonic characteristics. It needs dharmic base to dissipate. Without dharmic base, cultivating the martial arts of the Tempest Temple is no different from suicide."
Su Ru quickly said, "Chu Li, don't do anything stupid!"
She looked at Chu Li worriedly. The Sentient Menace was famous and it was the top martial arts of the Tempest Temple. It was extremely powerful and no one could resist this temptation. Chu Li had already cultivated it, it would be difficult for him to stop!
Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Qi looked at him strangely.
Chu Li smiled. "Yes, Lady Xiao, my dharmic base is not bad."
Su Ru clapped her hands and suddenly realized.
