After pondering for a moment, sensing the woman's seventh-level Qi training, Chu Mu asked tentatively: "Can it be replaced with pills?"
Hearing this, the woman was stunned, and looked up at Chu Mu, as if expecting, but also hesitating: "What elixir?"
Chu Mu took out a bottle of Pulse Nourishing Pill and handed it over: "Pulse Nourishing Pill!"
The woman took it and looked up suddenly, "Are you an alchemist?"
Chu Mu was slightly startled, then immediately denied it: "No."
The woman asked: "Do you know the alchemist?"
After finishing speaking, as if she was worried that Chu Mu would refuse, the woman immediately said: "If you can help me contact the alchemist, this robe can be regarded as half the price!"
Hearing this, Chu Mu swallowed back the words of rejection as soon as they came to his mouth.
At half price, that’s six hundred spirit stones!
If such a sum of spiritual stone can be speculated, it is not impossible to change the principle.
Speaking of which, besides being an alchemist himself, he actually knew an alchemist.
However, the level may be a bit low.
After all, as far as he knew, in Huichun Pavilion, Sun Tao, a disciple of the Changsheng Sect, seemed to be able to only refine Bigu Pill, and the success rate was not high.
The woman couldn't hide her expectation and even stood up: "Do you know him?"
Chu Mu did not answer. He looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Tell me the reason."
The woman hesitated, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said:
"I need to refine an ancient elixir, which is a top-grade first-class medicine."
Chu Mu frowned. He was an alchemist. Although he didn't have much experience, he still knew the basic common sense.
As long as any elixir contains the word "ancient", it must mean that it is rare.
In the ancient times, spiritual energy was rich and there were countless treasures. However, in this era, according to the world of immortality, resources are scarce.
It is doubtful whether the first-level high-grade elixir prescriptions of that era, and the elixirs required in them, still exist today.
But if the woman in front of me collects all the elixirs needed for the ancient elixir, then...
The benefits moved people's hearts, and Chu Mu seemed to be a little moved.
The woman asked urgently: "Does the alchemist you know know how to refine it?"
Chu Mu organized his words and spoke slowly: "The ancient alchemy formula is different from the current alchemy method. For any alchemist, it may be difficult to successfully refine a new alchemy formula without a certain amount of experience. system."
Immediately, Chu Mu asked tentatively: "How many elixirs have you prepared?"
The woman did not answer, but asked: "Are you an alchemist?"
Chu Mu didn't answer.
The woman looked a little stubborn: "You need to make an oath of Taoism."
"Can."
Chu Mu made the oath directly without any hesitation.
Immediately, it was no longer a verbal conversation, but a sound transmission from spiritual consciousness.
The woman sent a message: "Can you refine the five elixirs?"
"Five copies..."
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, unable to conceal his surprise.
The main ingredients of the ancient first-class elixirs are at least hundreds of years old.
Is this something that a casual cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training can have access to?
What kind of fate is this?
Chu Mu asked: "If the refining is successful, what will be the reward?"
The woman pointed to the robe: "This robe is given to you as a gift."
"I will only take one furnace of the finished elixir."
Chu Mu's heart trembled, no bottom line, no principle, under such interests, they all give in!
One robe, one thousand two hundred spiritual stones.
Five furnaces of elixir, elixir that is hundreds of years old, a treasure that even spiritual stones cannot buy!
If he succeeds in refining it once, he will save four furnaces of elixir...
Chu Mu took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and slowly said word by word: "I need to see the prescription."
The woman did not hesitate and handed over a jade slip.
With the jade slip in front of him, Chu Mu took the jade slip's arm, but at this moment, he trembled unconsciously.
The familiar texture spread into his heart through his palms. Chu Mu suppressed the restlessness in his heart and penetrated the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness.
Soul Cleansing Pill!
As soon as his spiritual consciousness entered, three simple characters came into his mind clearly.
Immediately, the elixir formula was formed, and the efficacy of the elixir appeared.
After about a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu slowly put down the jade slip, with only shock in his eyes.
Ancient elixir recipe... arrogant!
He could only use these two words to describe it.
It is hard to imagine that a main medicine with a medicine age of 500 years, two auxiliary medicines with a medicine age of 300 years, and ten elixirs with ages ranging from 50 to 200 years are just for refining mere medicines. A low-grade first-class elixir.
How old is the main medicine of the pulse nourishing pill that can be used by monks in the Qi training realm to practice to the later stage of Qi training?
The foundation-building pill is famous throughout the world of immortality and is hard to find. The most precious raw material it consists of is just an elixir that is hundreds of years old.
The woman asked urgently: "How about it? Can it be refined?"
Chu Mu did not answer, but looked at the jade slip in his hand, silently thinking about the gains and losses.
Finally, under the woman's eager eyes, he slowly said: "If it is as you said, there are five elixirs, you can try them."
The woman asked urgently: "In other words, are you sure?"
Chu Mu nodded: "Half a year."
The woman seemed to be relieved: "Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist, but you need to make an oath of Taoist heart and sign a soul contract."
Immediately, the woman took out a soul contract, the handwriting appeared on it, and finally appeared in front of Chu Mu.
Chu Mu took a look and saw that the contract was very reasonable. It only limited the final result. He had to be vigilant to prevent malicious intentions from both parties and keep both parties confidential.
But this soul contract seems to be different from what he knows?
Seemingly aware of Chu Mu's doubts, the woman explained: "This is the contract of the second-level soul, which cannot be broken even in the foundation-building realm!"
Chu Mu glanced at the woman, slightly surprised.
The second-level divine soul contract is not cheap!
Such an elixir, such a magical elixir, and such a second-level soul bond, what is the origin of this woman?
As his thoughts flowed, Chu Mu's consciousness moved slightly, and his real name appeared on the soul contract... Chu Mu!
The contract comes from the soul, and he wants to fake it unless he can violate his own heart.
The woman took the contract, and the word Zhao Shuang appeared on it.
The divine soul contract was signed, and according to this divine soul contract, both parties made an oath of Taoism.
The vigilance in Zhao Shuang's eyes was reduced a lot: "I will follow you for the next six months. When the elixir is refined, our deal will end."
With that said, Zhao Shuang also handed over a storage charm.
Chu Mu was surprised: "Are you following me?"
"right."
Zhao Shuang nodded.
Chu Mu was silent for a while and glanced at the jade slip in his hand. The familiar texture came to his mind again.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Mu finally refused.
Immediately, Chu Mu picked up the high-grade robe placed aside and walked towards the outside of Fang City.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuang put away the items on the stall and followed Chu Mu. The two walked side by side and finally left the Jade Emperor's black market.
He went into the black market alone, and when he came out again, there was one more person accompanying him.
Zhao Shuang's cultivation level is not high, but he is definitely not a weak person.
This can be easily seen from the things Zhao Shuang took out.
Those almost priceless rare elixirs, as well as the robes of this top-grade magic weapon.
In comparison, the wealth he accumulated seemed a bit insignificant.
In this case, how could there not be some powerful means.
Chu Mu even guessed that this woman might have disguised her cultivation and appearance like him.
Moreover, this jade slip...
However, this time, Chu Mu did not have the opportunity to witness it. From the black market to the outside of the Jade Emperor City, the whole journey... was calm.
Outside Yuning Town, Chu Mu had changed his appearance again.
Zhao Shuang followed behind, seemingly turning a blind eye.
"If anyone asks, just say you are a relative of mine."
"Also, the city is a mixed bag, and the situation is tense now. Don't cause trouble for me."
"If you cause trouble, you can solve it yourself. Our deal is limited to elixirs."
Chu Mu stopped and turned to look at Zhao Shuang. His voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm.
Zhao Shuang nodded and remained silent.
Seeing this, Chu Mu said nothing and turned towards the town.
The neighbors were already familiar with each other, so they had to ask some questions. After Chu Mu dealt with them, he went outside.
When you push the door open, you will see emptiness.
Although the storage talisman is valuable and time-limited, whether he lives in Fang City or in this town, he basically carries all his belongings with him at all times.
In this way, he didn't worry about being pried into any secrets.
However, with one more person in the family, the previous lifestyle has to change.
The house he rented was not small. In addition to the main entrance hall where he lived for a long time, there were three rooms of different sizes.
"Those two rooms are up to you."
"You are not allowed to enter this room without my permission."
"Other than that, whatever you want."
After a few words, Chu Mu walked directly into the room on one side that had been vacant for a long time.
The portable micro-partition restrictions are also laid out to create a hidden space.
Zhao Shuang stood in the room and watched Chu Mu walk into the room. He didn't look at the clean room in front of him until the door was closed.
The room was spotless, with no sign of life.
This is also closely related to Chu Mu's caution. Every time he goes out, he habitually cleans the room to eliminate any traces of him in the room to the maximum extent and avoid leaving any clues.
Zhao Shuang looked around and finally walked into the room on the other side. The door was closed and there was no movement.
