"Fellow Daoist Sun."
Chu Mu stepped forward.
"Didn't you ask me to pay attention to the elixirs in the pavilion before? A batch of body refining elixirs just arrived today, and I left some of them for you."
With that said, Sun Tao handed out several jade bottles.
"There are three types in total, two bottles of each."
"OK."
After taking the jade bottle, Chu Mu took out a bag of spiritual stones and handed it over.
"No more than that."
Sun Tao grabbed a handful of spiritual stones and handed them over again.
"If disciples within the sect buy it, the price will be cheaper."
"By the way, our sect's founding ceremony is just a few months away. Fellow Daoist Chu, you have extraordinary talent in magic. Do you want to try it?"
"My spiritual root qualifications will be in vain if I leave."
"How could it be possible? Fellow Taoist I told you that qualifications are only one aspect. For those who have special talents in other areas, qualifications are never a problem."
"Just look at me. I also have pseudo-spiritual qualifications, so I can easily become a disciple of the sect."
"It's better to have someone behind you than to work alone outside."
Chu Mu was unmoved and looked at the towering city wall in front of him: "I am used to being free and can't be restrained."
Immediately, Chu Mu changed the subject and asked tentatively: "By the way, what made the Jade Emperor Valley look like this...is there any inside information?"
"I am just a young outer disciple, how can I know any inside information?"
Sun Tao shook his head and smiled: "Besides, isn't this matter all clear?"
"Looking at the history of our sect, since our sect leader Li took office more than 300 years ago, the relationship between the sect and the family has taken a turn for the worse."
"In the past years, the founding ceremonies, promotions within the sect, and resource allocation have all restricted the family's children..."
"But this is a good thing for helpless monks like us."
"I heard my master say before that in the past, the sect was almost exclusively dominated by the children of those powerful families. They had no one to rely on, so they were wasted in the sect and were oppressed..."
"With Sect Leader Li coming to power and drastic reforms, we have a way out..."
"With the current situation, this is also the most important reason why I advise you, fellow Taoist, to join our sect."
"The current Changsheng Sect is the only way out for us helpless monks."
"Even if chaos breaks out in the future, it is better to fight for your own way than to be forcibly captured and forced to work hard."
Chu Mu was slightly silent, but finally shook his head with some uncertainty: "Let's see again, don't be in a hurry."
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please think about it as soon as possible."
"During this period, I always feel that the trend within the sect is getting more and more wrong."
Sun Tao seemed a little more worried, but in the end, he said nothing more and turned around after saying a few words.
Chu Mu looked at the sky, which was as blue as thin. He looked around, and it was difficult to see the mountains clearly. Only the towering city walls blocked all vision.
"What a troubled time..."
Chu Mu sighed and walked aimlessly in the city.
The valley turned into a city, and everything that once existed seemed to have changed.
Chu Mu looked for a familiar place, but except for some signboard names, everything he saw seemed unfamiliar.
Only in Zhiding and other housing areas can one seem to find some traces of familiarity.
The once two-story attic still stood. The door of the attic where he transformed into Li Gang was tightly closed. The traces on the door also proved that someone had already occupied the attic.
Walking through the streets, we finally stopped in front of an attic.
The prohibition token appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and touched it. The moment the door opened, excited roars came from the room.
Wangcai was still strong and strong, and his eyes seemed to be a little more lively after being fed by the spiritual feeding pills he bought occasionally.
Throwing out a spiritual feeding pill, Chu Mu gently stroked Wangcai's head, a look of thought on his brows.
In the end, Chu Mu suppressed his thoughts.
The sect and the family are both behemoths, and the conflict between the two is a terrifying storm whirlpool.
It's too late for ordinary people to stay away, so why should they get involved?
The most important thing is that even if he joins the Changsheng Sect, he is only a low-level disciple.
If he wants to get enough resource knowledge, he must show enough value to be valued.
With the presence of spiritual brilliance, he can show this value.
But isn’t this the cusp of a storm?
It is foolish to put yourself at the forefront of such a storm!
If you don't show any value and are just a low-level disciple, then you are just cannon fodder. In times like these, it is also stupid to send someone to your door to be cannon fodder!
"No big deal, run away!"
Chu Mu curled his lips, feeling free and easy in his heart. The world is so big, and he didn't have to stick to the Jade Emperor Valley. If the situation was not right, he could just run away.
It's not that you can't practice in the wilderness. If it doesn't work, you'll just hang out in the black market from now on.
It's not like he can't adapt to the law of the jungle.
Bullshit corvee force recruitment, he doesn’t even live here, how can he be recruited?
"Brother Mu!"
While thinking, the door opened, and a slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Why are you back so early today?"
"Ling Tian is being moved today. The person in charge will give us a day off."
Chu Mu was confused: "Where to move?"
"It is said that part of the spiritual field will be moved to the city first."
"Brother Mu, you probably don't know yet. The area in the north of the city has been designated as a spiritual plant area. From now on, spiritual plants will be planted in the city. They say it is safer this way to avoid destruction by evil cultivators!"
After saying that, Xu Yuan asked curiously: "Brother Mu, have you ever encountered evil cultivators outside the city all year round?"
Chu Mu frowned and asked, "Do you know what evil cultivators are?"
"Those who are wanted by the law enforcement team are just like when we were in Nanshan Town. Those who are wanted are those who commit heinous crimes..."
Chu Mu didn't answer. He pondered for a while and then handed over a storage charm.
"There are some spiritual stones and some elixirs inside."
"As for you recently, please improve your cultivation level as soon as possible..."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Brother Mu, are you worried..."
Chu Mu nodded and then expressed his worries.
"Then why don't I move out too? If something really happens, I can help."
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."
Chu Mu didn't make too many arrangements, he had already entered the path of immortality, and he didn't want to interfere too much with Xu Yuan's choice.
After all, the road... is ultimately your own to walk. If others push or help you, you won't be able to go far after all.
After walking around the city, an obvious fact became extremely clear.
The prices of talismans, magic weapons, and even elixirs and spiritual materials are obviously a little more expensive than before.
And given the location of the Jade Emperor City, the traffic situation in the world of immortality, which often travels thousands of miles a day, and the fluctuations in prices, it is obviously unlikely that this is a change in the Jade Emperor City.
It must be the influence of a large area that will cause price fluctuations.
Talismans, magic weapons, elixirs, and spiritual materials are all daily needs for an individual cultivator.
For a force, it is undoubtedly a strategic reserve.
"I made a small profit."
Sensing the various spiritual materials accumulated in the storage talisman, Chu Mu was also speechless.
Back in the Jade Emperor's black market, in order to increase his knowledge base, he purchased a large number of various spiritual materials and prepared to conduct research experiments in conjunction with the knowledge system of weapon refining.
So far, it has not started to be consumed.
The price has soared. If I sell it at the market price now, I will make a profit of 20 to 30% at least.
It's just a profit of a few hundred spirit stones.
"The price will continue to rise!"
After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu came to a conclusion.
The situation is tense and everything is reserved for all parties.
And with the current situation, if the price rises, it will inevitably attract attention and deepen the worries of ordinary immortal cultivators.
After that, many immortal cultivators will be sick and seek medical treatment indiscriminately.
The price will inevitably skyrocket due to the urgent treatment for this disease.
Later, when money and silk attract people's hearts, there will be forces involved, driving up prices and preparing to make a fortune.
Judging from the current situation, as long as the situation does not ease, or the Changsheng Sect steps in to suppress prices, it may be difficult for this soaring price to come down again.
But will the Changsheng Sect come forward to suppress prices?
At present, any of these shops, industries, and even the source mines and spiritual fields in the city are not related to the Immortality Sect?
Even if the Changsheng Sect wants to do it, the vested interests within the Changsheng Sect's system will not be willing to do it.
And those who rule the Jade Emperor Valley are obviously interested groups.
With his thoughts flowing, Chu Mu decisively left Fangshi and headed straight for the nearest Jade Emperor Black Market.
Although he has no intention of taking this opportunity to make a fortune, he needs a large amount of spiritual materials to learn the art of weapon refining.
Only by being prepared can you be safe. If prices soar in the future, there is no real disaster.
Fortunately, he realized that it was quite timely. The prices on the black market were already cheaper than those on the retail market. The prices fluctuated, but they did not exceed much.
After a quick sweep of goods, thousands of spirits were spilled on the black market.
His net worth suddenly shrank by more than half.
A full storage talisman of spiritual materials is a harvest.
"Um?"
When he was about to leave the black market, he caught a glimpse of a new stall from the corner of his eye, which immediately stopped Chu Mu.
There were only a few items in the stall, which looked like a book and a few bottles and jars. The most eye-catching thing was a blue robe hanging above the stall.
Chu Mu's eyes suddenly lit up. Defensive magic weapons were not uncommon in both the street market and the black market, but what he encountered so far were all active defense magic weapons such as shields and flags.
There are very few passive defensive magic weapons such as magic robes. Even if there are, most of them are low-level existences and are of little use to him at present.
And the magic robe in front of me is filled with spiritual light fluctuations... a top-grade magic weapon!
"How much does this robe cost?"
Chu Mu stepped forward and asked.
"One thousand, two hundred spirits, no two prices!"
The stall owner is a young woman with a green face but extremely determined eyes.
The woman looked up at Chu Mu and spoke in a cold voice.
Chu Mu frowned. This price was not reasonable. Most high-quality offensive magic weapons were basically priced in this range.
However, active defense weapons such as robes have always been rare.
Things are rare and valuable.
All prices are extremely reasonable.
However, this price, after he spent more than a thousand spiritual stones to purchase various spiritual materials, the existing spiritual stones are obviously not enough...

Update two chapters, I have something to do today, I will make up for it tomorrow.
