It's important to know that the ranking of celestial-grade treasures and rare herbs is based on the potency of their medicinal effects.
It doesn't necessarily mean that an eighth-grade celestial treasure is always more precious than a seventh-grade one.
For example, among eighth-grade celestial treasures, the Dragon Spine Blood Vine, which can repair meridians, and the Divine Heart Wood are considered far more valuable than many ninth-grade celestial treasures.
There's also the most common eighth-grade Blood Chrysanthemum, a crucial ingredient for breakthroughs; these are things some ninth-grade items can't compare to.
It goes without saying that a great many experts will personally mobilize for these herbs.
If other sects made such claims, they might be false, but this is coming from the Environmental Sanitation Department—they have the backing of the state.
If Ye Chen is going, then Xu Mu can't bring too many people with him.
A meeting between Xu Mu and him is bound to lead to a fight.
Xu Mu certainly isn't afraid of Ye Chen himself, but what about the others by his side?
Take Meng Wanyue, for instance. Ye Chen would definitely spare no effort to kill her.
And Xu Mu can't very well kill Xiao Ran either, after all, the two of them have... been intimately acquainted.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid you won't get the treasure?"
Jiang Huihui looked at Xu Mu and asked.
"No, I'm definitely going this time. It's just that my enemy will be there too, and I'm worried he'll target the people around me, like you."
Xu Mu stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"I'm an intermediate-level Cleaner. With so many people around, who would dare make a move against me?"
Jiang Huihui patted her chest and declared.
Xu Mu nodded inwardly. "That's a fair point."
Actually, his greatest concerns were still Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo. After some hesitation, he decided not to bring the two of them this time.
He would let them continue cultivating their techniques. For his part, he'd just call Chen Xuan.
"Oh right, take this."
Xu Mu fished out three pills from his person: one Qi Sea Pill and two Primordial Origin Pills.
Although Jiang Huihui was also at the Divine Ability realm, fundamentally, she was different from people like Ye Tong and Meng Wanyue.
Ye Tong and Ye Yu are Xu Mu's family. Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Feng Yue and Bai Yi, while not yet explicitly family, have no familial clan ties binding them and can stand wholeheartedly by his side.
Jiang Huihui is different; she falls slightly short in that regard.
However, Xu Mu had a clear conscience—he was giving these to her for free, and three pills was already quite a lot.
"Three?"
Jiang Huihui's eyes lit up at the sight. "Xu Mu, is this really okay?"
[Favorability +20]
"We're good friends. If I have extra pills on hand, who else would I give them to but you?"
Xu Mu said with a smile. "The Primordial Origin Pill and the Qi Sea Pill have similar effects. Take one every three or four days to let it fully digest."
"Okay."
Jiang Huihui's face was full of gratitude. Suddenly, she asked in a low voice, "Xu Mu... is this... the fiancée treatment?"
"Of course."
Xu Mu nodded.
Upon hearing this, a blush spread across Jiang Huihui's cheeks. If being a fiancée was like this, then becoming a wife must be out of this world!
"Huihui, when are you planning to set off?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
"Right now, the sooner the better. From what I know, quite a few Cleaners have already notified the sects backing them, and they've probably already headed over by now."
Jiang Huihui immediately swallowed one of the Primordial Origin Pills.
"Alright, then let's set off now too. Come back with me, we'll pick up Chen Xuan and go."
Xu Mu immediately turned to leave.
...
After getting off the highway, Xu Mu originally planned to go straight to find Chen Xuan, but he suddenly remembered something.
He took out his phone and dialed Xu Ningbing's number.
"What's up?"
Xu Ningbing's voice came through.
Xu Mu asked, "Did you buy that helicopter for me last time?"
"Bought it. Got your license sorted out with money too. You do know how to fly, right? There was that news a few days ago about an influencer who crashed and died."
Xu Ningbing asked from the other end.
"Don't worry, I'm an old hand."
Xu Mu said with a laugh. Besides, with his current physique, even without channeling Qi, if a rotor blade hit him, it would be the blade that broke.
After hanging up, Xu Mu first drove to the Xu Family Manor.
The security guard at home, seeing it was Xu Mu's car, immediately opened the gate and bowed respectfully.
Parking the car in the manor's lot, Xu Mu saw the helicopter parked there. It was a Bell 429 model, capable of seating eight people.
"Oh right, the destination this time is Jiangnan. I still need to apply for a flight route."
Xu Mu said, taking out his phone.
"No need, leave that to me."
Jiang Huihui waved her hand at Xu Mu. "We Cleaners often need helicopters to rush to destinations. I just need to report the registration number."
As she spoke, she took out her phone and sent over the helicopter's model and pilot information. "All set."
"So impressive. Makes me want to become a Cleaner too."
Xu Mu and Jiang Huihui both sat in the cockpit.
Looking at the various buttons and controls before him, Xu Mu operated them with practiced ease, as if by muscle memory.
In an instant, the helicopter lifted off.
He had already sent a message to Chen Xuan, telling him to wait at home.
Before long, Xu Mu landed the helicopter on the road outside Chen Xuan's house.
"Whoa! Just a few minutes, and no traffic lights to wait for. This is the life."
Xu Mu glanced at his phone.
"Brother Mu! That's seriously impressive, coming by helicopter? Must be nice to have a rich family."
Chen Xuan, carrying a woven bag, ran over from a distance.
Xu Mu climbed down from the helicopter cabin and said with a smile, "I earned this money myself. Hurry up and get in, we're leaving now."
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
...
Noon.
Xu Mu landed the helicopter in the large courtyard of a rural house.
From an altitude of four hundred meters, he had used his perception to scan the village below.
The courtyard he landed in was home to only one old man.
Hearing the deafening noise, the old man came out of his room leaning on a cane.
After landing successfully, Xu Mu immediately jumped out of the helicopter and pulled out over a thousand yuan from his pocket.
"Sorry about this, sir, for parking in your yard without asking. It's just that the roads outside are rough, and there was nowhere else to set down."
Xu Mu walked over with a smile, stuffing the cash into the old man's hand. "We'll only stay for a day or two at most. If you don't agree, we'll leave right now."
The old man looked at the bright red banknotes, his face breaking into a wide grin. "Haha! Of course I agree."
His wife had passed away, and his son and daughter-in-law lived in the big city. He was alone at home all year round.
This was practically free money.
"We'll be on our way then."
Xu Mu glanced at Chen Xuan and Jiang Huihui beside him, and they headed off together towards their destination.
...
At the same time.
A young man with a sinister air about him was deep in the mountains outside Jing City.
This was Wu Tian.
"I once did their clan a great favor. You only need to mention my name and use the technique I taught you, and they will surely receive you with courtesy."
A faint light flickered from Wu Tian's ring, and an old man's voice also reached his ears.
"Courtesy isn't enough. I want them to serve me."
Wu Tian's expression was indifferent. "I will destroy Lu Mang Mountain and make that woman kneel before me."
