Martial Arts Becomes Invincible Starting from the Golden Body

Chapter 23 Conspiracy
Outside Liuyin Mountains

In a dim cave, two men in black robes stood facing each other.

One of them had wisps of silver hair floating out from under the brim of his black robe from time to time, and the other one was short and had a hoarse voice when he spoke.

"How are the preparations going?" A hoarse middle-aged man's voice sounded.

"There shouldn't be any problem. As long as this news gets out, no matter whether it's true or false, there will definitely be people who are interested." The old man said in a low voice.

The short man nodded. Indeed, this was an open conspiracy. Tongcheng had not produced any Yunjin Pills for a long time. For those with poor qualifications, as long as they wanted to make further progress, this was a life-saving straw!
"What about those companies? What was their reaction?" he asked again.

"Don't worry. Even if everyone knows that something is wrong with this matter, they cannot stop it. If they intervene forcefully, they will only incur public anger!" said the old voice indifferently.

"Of course, we have to secretly send people to guard against it!"

"Haha, isn't this exactly what we want?" There was a hint of smile in his voice.

"So good!"

The short man also agreed. Even if they found a problem, they probably would not be able to imagine that there was no conspiracy in the Liuyin Mountains!
Or if we have to talk about conspiracy, it is that they want as many people as possible in this mountain range.

"What was the reaction of that old man Li Guiyuan?" the short man suddenly asked again.

"Li Guiyuan?"

The old voice paused for a moment, then said with a hint of uncertainty: "He...seems to have done nothing, as if he didn't know about this."

"Hey, you're really an old turtle!" the short man sneered.

Then his voice became a little more serious, "You still have to pay more attention to this old man. He is extremely insidious and hypocritical. You must be on guard!"

"And I always feel that this old guy is quite secretive and much harder to deal with than Shangguan Hong."

"No way?"

There was some doubt in the old voice. He was well aware of Shangguan Hong's strength. He was undoubtedly the strongest man in Tongcheng.

"laugh!"

"Don't you know that this old guy was a top genius whose reputation spread throughout the region when he was young? How can he be so easy to deal with?" The short man sneered.

"But that's all in the past! Now he is just an old ghost hiding in the small Tongcheng waiting to die!" The old voice sounded a little excited.

As if somewhat dissatisfied with his questioning, the short man took a deep look at the man in front of him, and then remembered that he was also from that place, and nodded suddenly.

Then I felt a little contemptuous. Would you dare to say this when you were young? When others are down and out, you become arrogant.

Shaking his head, he no longer wanted to explain anything to him, and the short man said directly:

"Whether he is hiding something or not, you have to test him again. This is a serious matter and you must act with caution!"

"This..." The old voice hesitated.

"What? Are you scared?" the short man asked in a heavy voice.

"How can it be?!"

"Well, arrange it as soon as possible!"

"Even if we can't let that old man take action, it's better to see the quality of his eldest disciple. I have a feeling that this kid is not simple!"

"Li Zhen?" The old voice sounded somewhat incredulous.

He stared at the short man under the black robe and wanted to say, are you kidding me?
"Just a junior!" he snorted coldly.

"Hmph, don't underestimate Li Guiyuan's vision!" The short man also snorted coldly.

"You might as well just say that his family is not simple!"

The short man was stunned, thinking of the reckless Liu Yong and the extremely mediocre Zhao Yunsheng, and said:

"That's not necessary. Li Guiyuan is an old turtle and it's hard to test him. It's good that you can measure Li Zhen's depth. This boy has followed Li Guiyuan for many years. He can't be an ordinary practitioner!"

The old voice did not refute, because he suddenly thought that testing Li Zhen would definitely be much easier and not dangerous. He just needed to get the thing, so why should he work so hard?
"I heard that recently Liyang Martial Arts School has produced a new person with superior aptitude, his name is Fang..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the short man.
"Don't worry about it, it's probably just the lowest class. Do your job well, and you will definitely get what you want!"

After saying this, the short man disappeared in a flash. The old voice looked outside hurriedly, only to see that the man had disappeared without a trace!
"What a powerful martial art!" he muttered to himself in a low voice, his tone quite fearful.

The old voice slowly fell into deep thought. This group of people was too mysterious. Even though they had worked together many times, he didn't have much trust in them.

He knew that this was like trying to get the skin of a tiger, but he was determined to get the thing no matter what!
There is also the matter of testing Li Guiyuan... After thinking for a long time, he slowly came up with a plan in his mind.

……

next day
Fang Chen was walking on the way to the Internal Affairs Hall. A new January had begun. Today was the day to collect salary... no, resources. It was really a happy day.

"Go find the master?"

Fang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

The housekeeper smiled and even had a respectful attitude, "Yes, the owner of the museum has already informed you yesterday that your resources will be distributed by him personally from now on!"

"Oh."

Fang Chen seemed to be thinking about something. In that case, he did not stay here and went directly towards the back hall.

After the steward bowed and saw him off, he sighed in his heart that he was an old man in the martial arts school, and although his strength was not great, his status was no lower than that of ordinary elite disciples.

So he thought he had some understanding of the museum owner. It seemed that Fang Chen really caught his eye, otherwise he would not be so respectful.

When he arrived at the back hall, he saw a woman in a plain dress pouring tea with her delicate jade fingers. Seeing him coming, Li Shishi smiled slightly.
"Just in time, please!"

As she spoke, she handed over a white jade teacup between her two fingers.

Fang Chen quickly took it with both hands and said ashamedly: "I'm afraid I'm going to waste Sister Shi Shi's cup of good tea. Fang Chen knows nothing about this!"

Li Shishi's expression did not change after hearing this. Instead, he said in a gentle voice, "People who understand tea taste tea, and people who don't understand tea drink tea. They are all used for their own purposes. How can it be said to be a waste?"

Fang Chen was startled, then nodded with a smile: "Indeed!"

He drank the boiling hot tea in one gulp.

“Good tea!”

Fang Chen laughed out loud.

Li Shishi smiled upon seeing this. The scene that looked like a hundred flowers in full bloom attracted Fang Chen's attention unconsciously.

"Does it look good?"

"Uh...okay..."

Fang Chen was suddenly startled and didn't dare to look at the person. He quickly fled.

Listening to the bell-like laughter coming from behind him, Fang Chen couldn't help feeling ashamed, and then he thought righteously, I, Fang Chen, am indeed a pure young man.

Also, Li Shishi, your character has collapsed. Where is the gentle big sister you promised to be?
Due to the teasing behind him, Fang Chen arrived at Li Guiyuan's room in a few steps.

Before he could knock on the door, an old and deep voice came from inside the house: "Is that Fang Chen? Come in!"

Fang Chen was surprised, I was holding my breath.

When he opened the door, he saw Li Guiyuan standing in front of the desk, practicing calligraphy with a brush. Fang Chen moved closer and saw that he wrote four words in one go with his brush moving quickly.

"Think carefully and act diligently?"

Fang Chen muttered to himself.

"coming?"

Li Guiyuan put down his brush and had no intention of discussing calligraphy with him. Fang Chen quickly came back to his senses after hearing his question and replied:

"master!"

"Well, you are here for the resources matter, right?"

"Master has a keen eye!" Fang Chen bowed and said with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Li Guiyuan laughed in silence but didn't keep the topic in suspense.

"Haha, just as you thought, with your current strength and talent, the elite disciple's share is not enough for your practice."

"Since I have said that I will shoulder the responsibility, I will not break my promise!"

After saying that, he took out a palm-sized wooden box from the drawer and placed it on the desk.
