Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 1145: Chapter 722 Chu Mo’s Crisis_2

In a hundred years, only three individuals managed to reach the status of a Great Grandmaster, which shows the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Barrier.

In the eyes of ordinary Martial Artists, Lei Ting would definitely be considered extremely outstanding. Reaching the rank of Great Grandmaster at the age of thirty-five, if not breaking records, would certainly make him one of the youngest.

However, for Chu Mo, Lei Ting’s strength still seemed insufficient.

Not to mention others, just tonight, the Xue family whom they encountered had a young lady who was clearly a peak Great Grandmaster, and behind the young Xue lady, the twin elders were both Middle Great Grandmasters.

It can be said that in front of these people, Lei Ting simply did not have the strength to contest, naturally, if Chu Mo truly encountered any danger, even if Lei Ting wanted to protect him, it would be utterly impossible.

As for the others, whether it’s Hua Zhenyu or Jiang Dingnan, or even Wei Zhengpin, although each of these people has formidable strength and promised to guard his safety, they can’t always follow him like Lei Ting does.

And in case of any sudden incident, even though these people are powerful and can move instantaneously, facing a top expert like those from the Xue family, if the enemy really intends to put him to death, by the time they arrive, it would be too late.

Therefore, even if just for self-preservation, Chu Mo must enhance the strength of those around him.

“Mr. Chu, I just checked, apart from the four who entered the hall, there are still several powerful mental forces lingering near the restaurant. I tried to trace these mental forces earlier, but their power seems to surpass mine, and before I could approach, they disappeared!”

Lei Ting’s solemn voice slowly rose from the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce.

At this moment, Chu Mo finally slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Lei Ting’s junior, and after a moment of silence, Chu Mo slowly said:

“If you were given a Heavenly Spirit Pill, what are your chances of advancing to Middle Great Grandmaster?”

Upon hearing this, the body of Lei Ting in the passenger seat visibly stiffened.

Heavenly Spirit Pill, a medicinal pill even more precious than the Great Restoration Pill, certainly counts as a rare treasure, invaluable to any Martial Artist.

Indeed, many Great Grandmaster level Martial Artists might even risk their lives for it.

A Great Restoration Pill can save a Martial Artist ten years of arduous cultivation.

But a Heavenly Spirit Pill can save thirty years of hard cultivation.

If Lei Ting were to consume a Heavenly Spirit Pill, his strength would definitely surge, allowing him to reach an early-stage peak Great Grandmaster in a short time, and he might even break through to Middle rank immediately.

Yet, after a moment, Lei Ting in the front seat regained his composure, and this exceedingly tall man spoke earnestly:

“Mr. Chu, given my current condition, if I take the Heavenly Spirit Pill, I could reach an early-stage peak Great Grandmaster at best, with a fair chance of breaking through to Middle Great Grandmaster within a month. A Heavenly Spirit Pill could help me save ten years of hard cultivation.

However, for me, taking the Heavenly Spirit Pill now would still be too wasteful. If I wait ten years, when I have reached the Middle Great Grandmaster, then taking the Heavenly Spirit Pill, I could directly ascend to a peak Middle Great Grandmaster, saving at least twenty years of hard cultivation…”

Chu Mo looked at the honest man before him, slightly raising an eyebrow and asking:

“What? You don’t want to take the Heavenly Spirit Pill to increase your own strength?”

As Chu Mo’s words fell, Lei Ting in the passenger seat slowly turned around, seriously looking at Chu Mo, and then spoke:

“Mr. Chu, it’s not that I am unwilling, but I can’t bear to waste it! The Heavenly Spirit Pill is such a treasure and is exceedingly precious. I know you have one, but this pill might be the last one in the world. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have caught the mysterious Xue family’s attention. If we don’t cherish it and I just consume it, it would be too wasteful.

However, Mr. Chu, if you insist on giving it to me, I, Lei Ting, swear that I will follow you loyally for the rest of my life!”

The tall man in front of him looked extremely serious. It was clear that as a powerful martial artist, his whole heart pursued the martial path, and naturally, no one wished more to enhance their own strength.

Yet, because of Lei Ting’s honest character, he equally did not want to waste a Heavenly Spirit Pill, so a rare look of conflicted emotions appeared on his face.

At this moment, Chu Mo slightly closed his eyes.

Originally, the Heavenly Spirit Pill was intended to be used by Chu Mo to synthesize the third Longevity Pill; it was incredibly important. But now that it had attracted the mysterious Xue family’s notice, Chu Mo estimated that with his own power, it might be difficult to protect this Heavenly Spirit Pill given their relentlessness.

As the Xue family’s young lady had said, to possess a gem is to invite trouble. If the Heavenly Spirit Pill were in the hands of a Half-step Celestial God, naturally no one would dare covet it, but it’s precisely because of his own insufficient strength that someone dared to directly threaten him. Therefore, Chu Mo had thought that rather than handing the Heavenly Spirit Pill over, it might be better to let Lei Ting consume it, which also benefits one of his own people.

Not only could he gain a strong ally, but also Lei Ting’s loyalty.

However, seeing Lei Ting’s look of difficulty, Chu Mo changed his mind. Perhaps this Heavenly Spirit Pill really might be the last one in the world, and without this pill, the development of the third Longevity Pill might hit a bottleneck, possibly extending the required time by ten or even dozens of years.

With this Heavenly Spirit Pill, however, the development of the third Longevity Pill could be significantly accelerated. Like how the second Longevity Pill, because of a Great Recovery Pill, took only over half a year to succeed. Without that pill, it might have taken three to five years, hence saving years worth of time.

If he were to just let Lei Ting consume the Heavenly Spirit Pill, it indeed would be too much of a waste.

At this moment, Chu Mo again slowly closed his eyes. The recent appearance of the Xue family was a warning, even if it was just giving him some time to consider. In the short term, the other party probably wouldn’t make a move, so at least he still had a few days to think things over, no need to rush!

Lei Ting, in the passenger seat, seeing Chu Mo sinking back into contemplation, took a deep breath, a hint of slight disappointment flashing in his eyes, then straightened up again.

Soon, the motorcade drove past the bustling area, and half an hour later, finally stopped at the Longevity Club.

As Chu Mo emerged from the rear seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Liang Bing, the club manager, appeared in front of him.

“Mr. Chu!”

Liang Bing, in her light purple dress, slightly bowed in greeting, exuding a natural fragrance from her stunning visage with a ninety-eight percent rating, quite tempting.

However, Chu Mo was not in the mood for idle chat with her. He strode forward under the escort of Liang Bing toward the front of the Longevity Club.

Soon, Chu Mo, taking the elevator, arrived at the sixth sublevel of the club, the place with the most stringent security measures within the entire club.

When Chu Mo stepped out of the elevator, the other two club managers, Yang Xuan and Zhang Dongdong, also appeared in front of him.

“Retrieve the Heavenly Spirit Pill, hand it over to Professor Fred, and inform Fred to cease all alternative research for the primary medicine of the second Longevity Pill. All laboratory staff must immediately devote themselves to the development of the third Longevity Pill!”

Following Chu Mo’s calm voice, Yang Xuan, as the chief manager, was briefly stunned. She opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, but seeing Chu Mo’s cold glare, she eventually swallowed her words and immediately lowered her head:

“Understood, Mr. Chu, I will arrange it right away.

Oh, Mr. Chu, regarding the test subject number one, old Mr. Situ’s health has recovered, and Mr. Situ wishes to return home. What do you think?”
