According to common sense, there will be many differences when there is one more person in the family.
But for Chu Mu, it didn't seem to have any impact.
His life was as regular and simple as ever.
The closed door was not opened once for more than ten days and half a month. Occasionally, when the door was opened, he walked out in a hurry, and then returned in a hurry after a few minutes at most.
The door is closed again, basically reincarnation again.
This life lasted for more than three months.
It is also a thirteen-flavored elixir, but compared to the cheap elixir of Nourishing Pulse Pill, this soul-cleansing elixir is obviously not on the same level at all.
Rare, too rare!
Even if Chu Mu tried hard to keep his mind calm, he would inevitably be affected.
Even if you have experience with the Nourishing Pulse Pill, it still takes much longer than before.
The beginning of the month.
The door opened again.
In the hall, the woman was sitting on a plate. When she saw Chu Mu walking out, she also stood up and looked at Chu Mu silently.
Chu Mu walked towards the door, and the woman followed suit, following closely beside him.
This behavior has been going on for several months since returning to this house.
The woman was taciturn, and Chu Mu was also busy with research. In a few months, the conversation between the two of them was probably less than a palm's length.
Although he was a little uncomfortable with it, since it was a transaction and there was a generous reward, Chu Mu could barely accept it.
It only takes one transaction, and once the transaction is over, this weird life will be over.
However, before ending, his guess still needs to be confirmed.
When he reached the door, Chu Mu stopped and turned to look at the woman.
"In the next few days, I should be able to try refining it."
After saying this, Zhao Shuang's face, which seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, finally changed.
"Can...can it succeed?"
Chu Mu did not answer, but took out the jade slip that recorded the soul-cleansing pill: "Can you tell me, where did you get this jade slip and this pill recipe?"
Zhao Shuang shook his head and refused simply and neatly: "This is not part of our deal."
Chu Mu said: "What conditions."
Zhao Shuang was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let's wait until the soul-cleansing pill is successfully refined."
Having already given the answer, Chu Mu didn't ask any more questions. Without a word, he opened the door and walked out.
"Starting from tomorrow, protect me. Before I come out, don't let anyone disturb me, including yourself."
Zhao Shuang remained silent, did not respond, and followed Chu Mu.
Three months later, the majestic Jade Emperor City Wall seems to have changed a little more.
Even now, one can still see immortal cultivators inscribing prohibitions outside the city wall.
Not all of the people involved are disciples of the Changsheng Sect. Most of the dirty work is done by recruiting casual cultivators, and it is said that the treatment given is pretty good.
After a few glances, Chu Mu walked through the city gate and entered the Jade Emperor City.
His original guess has become a reality.
The prices of all kinds of spiritual materials, as well as the corresponding finished magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs, in the Jade Emperor Gufang City, have soared by more than three or four times.
According to what he inquired about, this situation, as he expected, was not just a price fluctuation in Jade Emperor City.
Thousands of miles around, this seems to be the case.
Moreover, the soaring prices, at least for now, show no signs of stagnating or easing.
For several months, he visited the city several times every ten days, and the prices increased each time.
In contrast, the income of ordinary immortal cultivators has not increased much.
The situation of survival seems to be getting more and more difficult.
This undoubtedly intensifies the increase in prices. After all, no one knows whether the things they need when they wake up will be at another price that is hard to expect.
After wandering around the city, Chu Mu finally stopped in front of Weiwu Pavilion.
Without hesitation, Chu Mu walked straight into it.
Compared with the last time he arrived, the shelves in the pavilion seemed to be much empty. Some low-level magic weapons were rare, but there were still many types of high-level magic weapons.
His eyes moved around and finally settled on an alchemy furnace on the shelf on the left.
The alchemy furnace is bronze in color, about the size of a millstone, and no more than two feet high. The furnace lid has eight holes, and the top of the lid is an emerald green petiole. At first glance, the shape is extremely delicate.
In its volume, there is also a larger alchemy furnace with a silvery white color and distinct lines, which is obviously much more advanced.
"Fellow Taoist, are you interested in the alchemy furnace?"
The guy on the side stepped forward and asked.
Chu Mu pointed to the shelf: "Let me introduce these two pill furnaces."
"With a friendly eye, this alchemy furnace is called Bagua Xiangyun furnace..."
The waiter introduced incessantly that the price of a medium-grade magic weapon and an alchemy furnace and a top-grade magic weapon and pill furnace were naturally extremely high.
Chu Mu listened silently to the guy's introduction without interrupting at all.
His alchemy furnace was a broken, second-grade magic weapon, not even a low-grade magic weapon. After practicing the Bigu Pill, it was almost the same.
Even the refining of the Nourishing Pulse Pill would be barely possible without the help of "Spiritual Brilliance Blessing".
Now he needs to refine the soul-cleansing pill. The recipe and any medicinal material are probably more valuable than his broken pill furnace.
If it fails once, it will probably be incomparable to the value of a top-grade magical weapon such as an alchemy furnace.
In his heart, he already regarded the remaining four furnaces of elixir as his own.
Even after several months of research and experiments, he was reluctant to destroy the main body of any elixir.
Zhao Dan only needs a furnace of soul-cleansing pills. Apart from that, any slightest loss is a huge loss for him!
Just after asking about the price, when he was about to bargain, his sleeve was pulled.
Chu Mu looked at Zhao Shuang beside him, a little confused.
"You... want to buy an alchemy furnace?"
Immediately, a sound of divine consciousness reached his ears.
He raised his eyebrows and nodded.
Zhao Shuang asked again: "The quality of the alchemy furnace should be of great use to alchemy, right?"
"That's natural."
Chu Mu answered in the affirmative.
For any alchemist, this is the most basic common sense.
He was able to refine the Pulse Nourishing Pill with a broken pill furnace. The "spiritual brilliance" was so incredible that it was impossible for other alchemists to be able to refine the pill with a broken pill furnace like him. Tattoo elixir.
After all, the alchemy furnaces are all broken, and the efficacy of the medicine will inevitably leak out. In this way, let alone the alchemy pill, it is considered powerful to be able to successfully refine it.
"I have an alchemy furnace, would you like to see it?"
"Do you have an alchemy furnace?"
Chu Mu was a little confused when he heard another message from Zhao Shuang.
Immediately, Chu Mu pointed at the silver-white high-grade magic weapon, the alchemy furnace: "How does it compare with this one?"
Zhao Shuang replied without thinking: "It's better than this."
Chu Mu took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the shop without saying another word.
Before the waiter who was still introducing him enthusiastically could react, the two of them left the store one after another.
After leaving the shop, leaving the city, and returning to Yuning Town, as soon as the door closed, Chu Mu turned around and looked at Zhao Shuang, who was following suit.
Immediately, a simple pill furnace half a man tall appeared in front of him.
The alchemy furnace is dim in color, restrained in restraint, and the overall shape is extremely ordinary.
At first glance, it looks like a secular sacrificial cauldron.
But in the perception of spiritual consciousness, its vague pressure can't help but make people palpitate.
"The ultimate magic weapon? No, no, no... a spiritual weapon?"
Chu Mu's pupils shrank, he had seen the best magic weapon, Dan Furnace!
He has also seen the best magic weapon!
None of it is so scary.
Then it can only be above the magic weapon...
According to the grade classification of the world of cultivating immortals, there are four levels of magical weapons: lower, middle, upper, and top quality, which respectively correspond to the four realms of early, middle, late, and perfect Qi training.
And above the magic weapon, there are spiritual weapons, which are also at four levels: lower, middle, upper, and ultimate, corresponding to the foundation-building realm above the Qi-training realm!
Of course, this division is quite objective.
After all, given the harsh living environment of casual cultivators, many immortal cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training may not be able to possess low-grade magic weapons.
The alchemy furnace in front of me is not of the magical weapon level, and its spiritual energy fluctuations far exceed that of the magical weapon, so it can only be above the magical weapon.
What was placed in front of him was a spiritual weapon grade pill furnace!
A mid-grade spiritual weapon and pill furnace that many foundation-building realm experts would find difficult to possess!
Chu Mu was in a daze. There were ancient elixir recipes, a large amount of elixirs, and now a spiritual weapon alchemy furnace appeared...
If it weren't for the contract and the restrictions of the Dao Heart Oath, he himself didn't know if he could control his greed.
This pure walking treasure!
After a while, Chu Mu said two words with difficulty: "Spiritual weapon?"
Zhao Shuang did not hide anything: "It should be a middle-grade spiritual weapon."
Chu Mu didn't say another word, picked up the alchemy furnace and walked towards the room.
But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked.
"Can you make elixirs yourself?"
Zhao Shuang shook his head: "I can't, the alchemy furnace is not mine."
Chu Mu frowned, thinking about the soul-cleansing pill, and seemed to understand a little bit more.
But in the end, he didn't ask any more questions and walked into the room with the alchemy furnace in hand.
In the hall, when the door was closed, Zhao Shuang stared at it for a moment, his beautiful eyes moved slightly, and when he turned around, a transmission note appeared in his hand.
After a while, the transmission note disappeared, and Zhao Shuang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eyes slightly closed.
He seemed calm, but his slightly trembling eyelashes seemed to clearly prove that his mood was not calm at this time.
Less than a quarter of an hour after sitting cross-legged, the woman found it difficult to calm down and got up to walk around in the hall.
His eyes, filled with expectation and obviously worry, lingered on the closed door from time to time.
For Zhao Shuang at this moment, every minute and every second of waiting seems to be indescribable suffering...
