Chapter 3819: Three sets of materials!
Translator: 549690339
Biased, useless, mean, and ungrateful. Once these gossips spread, the hearts of his subordinates would scatter, and it would be very difficult to gather them together again. And if even these new subordinates no longer took his words seriously, then what difference was there between him, the so-called eldest Senior Steward, and a transparent and marginalized person like Meng jueguang?
Meng jueguang knew very well that even if he had managed to get close to Xu lingchong, he would still need to be strong enough to be valued in the future. This strength did not only refer to himself, but also to the new underlings under him. These people were the foundation of his future success!
Therefore, Meng jueguang could not reject Lee Zhengming just like that. Even if he did not have any foundation building pills on hand, he should at least give a reasonable answer.
After hesitating for a long time, Meng jueguang finally said,”Zhengming, I’m very pleased that you have such a thought. However, it’s a pity that I don’t have any foundation building pills on hand. Otherwise, I wouldn’t need you to ask. I would have given them to you long ago, right?”
Li Zhengming’s heart sank at the words-he’d already secretly become Lin Yi’s spy, but the idea he’d told Meng jueguang about breaking through to the Foundation Stage was true.
As one of the top five new disciples of the pavilion, the other four were already in the early Foundation Stage. He, Lee Zheng Ming, was the only one who was still struggling at the peak of the Sky Class, and he couldn’t even see any hope. This was a torture to him.
Although he had to keep a low profile because of the blood feud, there was a limit to it. If he just watched someone around him who wasn’t as talented as him successfully build a foundation while he, Lee Zhengming, stayed at the peak of the heaven class, then he wouldn’t be keeping a low profile-he would be an idiot.
Therefore, Lee Zheng Ming was really eager to break through to the foundation building realm. Moreover, he did not ask for much, just a foundation building pill.
As Lin Yi’s spy, li Zhengming should be the one asking Lin Yi for help, but it hadn’t been long since he joined Lin Yi. Other than sending a few intelligence reports, he didn’t think he’d done anything for Lin Yi, and he didn’t have any merits.
Strictly speaking, he joined Lin Yi because he had to save his life after his sneak attack failed. He didn’t do it willingly, and Lin Yi letting him live was already a great favor. He didn’t have the face to ask Lin Yi now.
In comparison, Lin Yi’s group was in an advantageous position, and Meng jueguang needed someone to share the pressure with him. Li Zhengming wanted to use this opportunity to ask Meng jueguang for a Foundation pill, considering his past contributions and the current situation.
But he didn’t expect Meng jueguang to have no such intention at all!
Although he said that he didn’t have any foundation building pills, this sentence was very likely to be true. But if he didn’t have any, couldn’t he think of a way?
One had to know that Meng Tong, who was also the subordinate of the senior disciple in charge, had used up a large amount of rare medicinal pills. Not to mention the foundation building pills and base building liquid, he had even used the grade four great recovery pill, which was known as a life-saving divine pill, and there were two of them!
He was willing to spend so much money on Meng Tong, who was a useless piece of mud. However, he was unwilling to even give up a Foundation-building pill to his equally loyal younger brother, at least in the past. This kind of behavior was too chilling!
It was a good thing that he was smart enough to secretly become Lin Yi’s boss’s spy. Otherwise, he’d really be blind if he had to follow Meng jueguang’s back!
Seeing the disappointment on Lee Zheng Ming’s face, Meng jueguang knew that he could not justify his actions. He thought about it and added,”Although I don’t have any foundation building pills on hand, I have specially prepared three sets of spirit herbs and materials for you to make the foundation building pills, Zhengming. I can give them to you when we go back later. As long as you find an Alchemist to help you, not to mention one foundation building pill, even three foundation building pills are enough for you. I guarantee that it will be enough for you to break through to the foundation building realm!”
Lee Zheng Ming was stunned. Initially, he thought that Meng jueguang had finally found his conscience. However, at the end of the story, Meng jueguang actually gave him the materials and asked him to find an Alchemist to make the pills himself. ‘What the hell is this?’
The foundation elixir was an extremely rare elixir for Sky Class full Masters like him, but strictly speaking, it wasn’t that rare at all. The spiritual herbs and materials needed to make the foundation elixir were basically all common goods.
Even if one set of foundation building pill ingredients were to be sold at the market price, it would at most be worth three to four pieces of spiritual Jade. Three sets of foundation building pill ingredients added together would at most be worth ten pieces of spiritual Jade.
In other words, Meng jueguang was only willing to spend ten pieces of spiritual Jade on Lee Zhengming at most. There was no way he would invest more than that!
Meng jueguang was not even willing to take out ten pieces of spiritual Jade. Although his words were very nice, saying that he had specially prepared it for Lee Zhengming, the materials for the foundation building pill were common goods that did not need to be specially prepared. Any cultivator with a little bit of Foundation would be able to find several sets of these spiritual herbs in their personal warehouse after their subconscious accumulation in the past!
At the end of the day, these spirit herbs and materials were basically dispensable to Meng jueguang. They were just trash that he usually did not even bother to look at, but now, he had taken advantage of the situation and said that they were spirit herbs and materials specially prepared for Lee Zhengming!
If it was not for the fact that he had been bearing a blood feud for so many years and had developed a strong forbearance, Lee Zhengming would have cursed out loud. ‘Meng Jue, do you have to be so mean to your own people?!’
If he had directly shook his head and refused, even if he was mean and unkind, he could at least be said to be upright and aboveboard. But Meng jueguang, this fellow, not only did not want to give him the foundation building pill, but he also had to care about his reputation. He had used these materials that even he himself did not care for to fool him, and even made it seem like he was very generous and considerate of his subordinates!
What did it mean to be a whore and also want to build a good reputation? This was it!
Before Lee Zhengming could say anything, Meng Tong, who was beside him, jumped up in shock.”Damn, three sets of foundation building pill ingredients! That was three foundation building pills! Ninth cousin brother, you’re too biased, you’ve never given me so much!”
After a short pause, Meng Tong pretended to be generous and patted Lee Zhengming’s shoulder.”But it’s fine-I’m already in the early phase of Foundation, and I’m about to break through to the next level-no matter how many Foundation pills I have, it’s meaningless to me. I won’t fight with a Sky Class full master like you-you can take advantage of me and enjoy it!”
