Zhu Shengxian chatted with Jiang Wuming for a while before leaving the War Dragon Squad's base.
Originally, before coming, he had intended to talk to Qin Xiaozhi. Qin Xiaozhi's actions in the Pu Tuo Temple battle had exceeded everyone's expectations, astonishing the martial arts world of Dragon Country and even the globe!
However—
Qin Yuanzheng had anticipated Zhu Shengxian's thoughts and specifically reminded him not to do so.
Zhu Shengxian had to give up.
He knew that his old partner wanted to give the young man the greatest recognition and respect at a specific time, at the Qin family courtyard!
Before leaving, Zhu Shengxian had the driver move the medications to the conference room.
After Jiang Wuming saw Zhu Shengxian off, he asked everyone to head to the conference room.
"The welfare distributed by headquarters to the squad includes five sets of gene drugs, qi and blood drugs, and healing medicine. Here are ten sets; the extra five sets were a gift from a friend."
When Qin Xiaozhi and the other three arrived at the conference room, Jiang Wuming pointed at the medications on the conference table.
Li Lianyi.
Upon hearing Jiang Wuming's words, the name instantly flashed in the minds of Qin Xiaozhi and the other three.
This was because the Li family was the core of developing gene drugs and qi and blood drugs in Dragon Country!
Jiang Wuming was familiar with only two people from the Li family.
Li Shanglai, the chairman of Longteng Pharmaceutical, and Li Lianyi.
The former, when Jiang Wuming went to the Li family to celebrate Li Gu's birthday and was ostracized by everyone, disregarded his family's opinions, actively sought out Jiang Wuming, and brought Jiang Wuming to the Li family manor.
As for Li Lianyi…
Qin Xiaozhi and the other three were well aware of the relationship between Jiang Wuming and Li Lianyi.
Besides that, gene drugs were the most crucial supplies in the martial arts world. Without the approval of the Li family head, no one in the Li family would dare to give out gene drugs privately.
In the vast Li family, only that girl, who had perfectly inherited the Li family's medical legacy, could make the family head, Li Gu, agree to all of this unconditionally!
"Each person gets two sets of qi and blood pills and healing medicine. Xiao Yao and I won't take the gene drugs. Xiaozhi and Xing Tian will each get three sets, and Weixia will get four."
Seeing that Qin Xiaozhi and the other three were silent, Jiang Wuming spoke again, stating the distribution plan.
"Ah—"
Huangfu Weixia had been spacing out after thinking of Li Lianyi's name, her mind filled with Li Lianyi's image. Hearing Jiang Wuming's words again, she snapped back to reality, looking at Jiang Wuming and Dongfang Xiao Yao with astonishment.
"Cap... Captain, why aren't you and Xiao Yao taking the gene drugs?"
"The Captain and Xiao Yao do not use gene drugs."
This time, it was Qin Xiaozhi who answered.
This was the requirement that Heavenly Dragon Daoist had set for Jiang Wuming and Dongfang Xiao Yao, and the two had strictly adhered to it.
Qin Xiaozhi and Xing Tian were aware of this.
"Why don't you take them?"
Huangfu Weixia was even more confused.
Gene drugs could stimulate a martial artist's potential and improve their martial arts talent. They were treasures that all martial artists dreamed of.
Even though she came from the Huangfu family, she couldn't obtain the top-tier gene drugs from her family. Instead, she had received one set from the academy due to her status as a genius at the East China Martial Arts Academy.
"This is my master's requirement for Xiao Yao and me," Jiang Wuming replied.
"Uh..."
Huangfu Weixia was stunned again. She widened her eyes and looked at Dongfang Xiao Yao with disbelief, as if asking: Xiao Yao, you're from the same sect as the Captain?!
Although Huangfu Weixia was shocked by this, she didn't ask it publicly. Instead, she said, "Captain, Brother Zhi and Brother Xing Tian need the gene drugs more than I do. How about I take two sets, and they each get four?"
"Just take it if the Captain told you to. Xing Tian and I used to take gene drugs frequently. Taking too much of this stuff reduces its effectiveness, so we don't need that many!" Qin Xiaozhi said.
"???"
Huangfu Weixia.
Even though she had been shocked many times today, at this moment, she still had a look as if she had seen a ghost.
So, in your eyes, gene drugs are like sour and spicy noodles from the street?!
...
After the medications were distributed, Jiang Wuming returned to the wooden house where he lived, placed the medications on the table, and then thought for a moment. He took out his phone and dialed Li Lianyi's number.
He wanted to call and thank Li Lianyi for the special welfare for the War Dragon Squad, but the call couldn't get through—Li Lianyi had turned off her phone!
Jiang Wuming was slightly taken aback, then put his phone in the room and went outside to cultivate.
Currently, his spiritual cultivation was at the eleventh stage of a one-star War God, and his martial arts cultivation was at the ninth stage of a two-star War God.
In the recent period, Jiang Wuming had been using all his time to cultivate in the mysterious space, wanting his martial arts cultivation to break through the bottleneck of the tenth stage of a two-star War God. At the same time, he had also been practicing the "Nine-Nine Body Forging" to try and advance his spiritual cultivation to the level of a two-star War God.
However—
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't achieve it.
Regarding this, Jiang Wuming understood that both his martial arts cultivation and his spiritual power cultivation were difficult to break through through normal training. They required a breakthrough opportunity—an opportunity for tempering through life and death!
Just like Jiang Wuming's performance in the genius division of the World Martial Arts Competition at the two-star War God level, and his later battle with Mu Ming in the Mu family ancestral residence.
These two battles were life-and-death struggles for Jiang Wuming, extremely perilous, and he had nearly died.
And after these two battles, which were primarily focused on the spiritual domain, his spiritual power cultivation had successively broken through to the tenth and eleventh stages of a one-star War God!
As for the battle with Mu Qing in Pu Tuo Temple, it had not achieved such an effect.
This was because Mu Qing had hardly posed any life-and-death pressure on Jiang Wuming!
"I hope the next mission will bring enemies that temper me through life and death!"
Jiang Wuming thought to himself, then calmed his mind and entered the mysterious space to begin cultivating.
Whoosh!
As the sun gradually set, Jiang Wuming suddenly opened his eyes. He heard the ringtone of his phone coming from the room.
Jiang Wuming ended his cultivation, got up, and returned to the room. He picked up his phone and saw that it was Li Lianyi calling. He immediately answered, "Hello."
"I was in a meeting just now, and my phone was turned off. I just saw you called."
As Li Lianyi said, she had returned to her office to use the restroom during the meeting and only then checked her phone. As a result, she saw Jiang Wuming's missed call and immediately called back, speaking first to explain why she hadn't answered.
Then, Li Lianyi paused for a moment and asked, "What did you call me for?"
"I received the special welfare you sent to our War Dragon Squad. Thank you," Jiang Wuming said, expressing his gratitude.
"You're welcome. Later, when our War God Drug Research Institute overcomes the technical challenges and develops the latest gene drugs, we'll send them to you!" Li Lianyi said with a smile.
"I heard from Army Chief of Staff Zhu Shengxian about you establishing the War God Drug Research Institute. Has it been successfully established? Where in Hanghu?"
Jiang Wuming's heart stirred upon hearing this. He immediately recalled what Zhu Shengxian had said and asked.
"Of course. The meeting I just attended was our institute's expert meeting."
Li Lianyi deliberately raised her voice, whether out of pride or guilt, "Our institute is in a scenic area of Hanghu. It used to be a sanatorium for a government agency."
"Send me the location, and I'll come to find you, then treat you to a meal," Jiang Wuming said after thinking.
"Treat you to a meal?" Li Lianyi was startled.
"Yes, you've provided special welfare for our squad, so I'll treat you to a meal as a return courtesy," Jiang Wuming said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I can't today. Our meeting hasn't ended yet. It's scheduled to go until 8 PM..."
Li Lianyi's heart skipped a beat, and she really wanted to agree directly. But thinking of the meeting that hadn't ended yet, she changed her mind and said, "How about this? You come to find me at nine o'clock, and we'll go for a late-night snack?"
"That works too."
Jiang Wuming agreed to Li Lianyi's suggestion. A few seconds after hanging up, he received a message via Longxin—Li Lianyi had immediately sent him the location of the War God Drug Research Institute!
Is this considered a date?
After sending the location to Jiang Wuming, Li Lianyi asked herself in her heart, smiling happily. Then, she turned off her phone, placed it in her desk drawer, and returned to the conference room to continue the meeting.
At 8 PM, the meeting ended on time. Li Lianyi returned to her residence at the War God Drug Research Institute, took a shower, blew dry her hair, and finally carefully selected her clothes.
After getting dressed, Li Lianyi raised her wrist to check the time and found it was only 8:30 PM.
Although she knew that given Jiang Wuming's usual style, he would most likely appear precisely at nine o'clock, she still walked to the window and looked out at the gate of the drug research institute, anticipating the appearance of Jiang Wuming.
Huh?
As she watched, Li Lianyi suddenly noticed a blurry large screen appearing in the courtyard!
...
ps: More tonight.
