"Senior, please walk slowly..."
The woman bowed respectfully.
Chu Mu walked out of the room and stopped in the hall.
Compared with the tasks reflected in the liaison order, the many tasks in the Contribution Palace are obviously more intuitive and clearer.
On the surrounding screen are various tasks assigned by the Righteous Alliance.
The missions are complex, including frontline fighting, assassination missions, and sabotage and sneak attack missions behind enemy lines, such as patrols and guards.
Just from these tasks, it seems that we can roughly understand the situation of the current war.
It is still unclear about other places. Judging from these missions, in the East Lake area, the Changsheng Sect and the Righteous Alliance are facing each other and fighting on a front that stretches thousands of miles with Jingmen as the center and East Lake as the boundary.
Moreover, the situation has obviously reached a stalemate and turned into a meat grinder-like war of attrition.
He stared at it for a moment, then slowly looked back.
Raising his hand, the token appeared in his hand again.
After a while, the token was put away, and he walked out of the dedication hall and walked into the street.
Wandering around the various shops on the street, a very clear reality was also placed in front of him.
The soaring prices that once occurred in the Jade Emperor Valley are now even worse in Shuitianfang.
The prices of finished products such as magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs have almost doubled, and the prices of various spiritual materials and elixirs have also increased a lot.
Judging from what he asked about, it has become a normal thing since the war broke out. Prices have been rising and have never stopped.
Moreover, this is not just a case of Shuitianfang, it is the same in any area affected by war within a radius of thousands of miles.
The war is raging, prices are soaring, and the employment system of the Righteous Alliance has contributed to the treasure trove...
There seem to be many more rare things on the market that were rarely seen in the past.
This is true whether it is a finished elixir, talisman, or spiritual weapon, or some spiritual materials and elixirs.
After wandering around the city, thousands of spiritual stones were scattered, and many vacancies had been filled in the storage rings.
"The mind of the wise."
Stopping in front of a shop at the end of the street, Chu Mu walked into it and looked around. On the shelves, there were many second-level spiritual materials that were rarely seen in the past.
"This piece of blue diamond, crescent jade, and these..."
In a mineral materials store in Fangshi, Chu Mu pointed around the shelves in the store as if scanning goods, and the shopkeepers who followed him took them out respectfully.
Chu Mu asked: "How many spiritual stones are there in total?"
"Reporting back to senior, there are a total of 1,680 low-grade spiritual stones. I will give you, senior, to erase the fraction and count them as 1,600 low-grade spiritual stones."
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a mustache, and his tone is quite respectful.
"OK."
Chu Mu touched his arms and handed over a storage charm.
"If there are any second-level or higher spiritual materials in the future, you can keep them for me."
With that said, Chu Mu handed over another transmission talisman: "You can use this transmission talisman to contact me."
"Senior, are you a weapon refiner?"
The man took the teleportation note and seemed to muster up the courage.
Chu Mu nodded and did not deny it.
The cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm is enough to support his skill.
Revealing one's cultivation level is a shock, revealing this skill is an even greater shock.
A foundation-building realm weapon refiner is not too rare, but it is definitely not many.
"I dare to ask senior, is there a place to worship?"
The middle-aged man asked again.
"how?"
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged man with a more profound look.
The middle-aged man asked cautiously: "Senior, if you don't have a place to worship, can you rest in a small shop for a while?"
Then, as if he was afraid that Chu Mu would not want to do it, the middle-aged man immediately added: "As long as senior is willing, senior, you can use our store's resources at will. You only need to buy it at the cost price."
"Senior, don't worry, there will definitely be no restrictions, and it will definitely not cause you any trouble, senior..."
"Your shop belongs to the Xie family, right?"
Chu Mu glanced at the Xie family emblem on the door eaves and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't hide his joy and quickly explained: "I'm sorry to say that the younger one is just a descendant of the Xie family. This shop was also passed down from my father. The previous weapon refiner unfortunately died in On the battlefield..."
After some explanation, Chu Mu seemed to have some clarity.
The middle-aged man's name is Xie Hui. His perfect Qi training is extremely insignificant in the Xie family's huge family system.
With only four spiritual roots, if his parents hadn't died in an accident decades ago, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to practice.
Fortunately, his parents died early and left no other heirs.
As the only son of his parents, according to Xie family rules, Xie Hui naturally had the right to inherit.
In this way, he can stay in the Xie family and embark on the path to immortality, instead of being driven to the secular world like other clan members who have no spiritual root qualifications, or who have three spiritual root qualifications and below.
Later, when Xie Hui embarked on the path of immortality, he naturally inherited his inheritance.
However, Xie Hui's cultivation level is low and his qualifications are even lower. In addition, his parents are dead, so he is helpless in the Xie family.
Although there are family rules for protection, it is obvious that reality cannot be restricted by a few simple rules.
In order to protect himself, he had to give away most of his property.
In the end, this was the only shop that remained. The operator's trading of spiritual materials and customization of magic weapons have remained stable to this day.
Unfortunately, some time ago, the weapon refiner he had painstakingly recruited disappeared, and his life soul lamp was broken. He was probably killed.
It was obviously very embarrassing for him to be in such a situation.
There is no point in recruiting a low-level weapon refiner, but a high-level weapon refiner is beyond his reach given his level of cultivation.
So, it was because he was rushed to the doctor because of his illness, and it happened to him?
If it were in the past, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.
And now...
Chu Mu looked around at the rows of shelves in the store, looking at the various spiritual materials, and he was thoughtful.
Immediately, he asked: "What is the channel for spiritual materials in your store?"
"Reporting back to my seniors, the spiritual material channels in small shops generally use the family's internal supply system, and also purchase rare spiritual materials from outside. I even know some resellers..."
"Senior, if you need any spiritual materials, you only need to tell me. If I can do it, I will never refuse!"
"If you can collect all these spiritual materials, Chu will be enshrined by this shop."
Chu Mu handed over a list with a calm voice.
There are not many spiritual materials on this list, there are only eight types in total, one is a second-level high-grade spiritual material, and the rest are all second-level and lower-grade spiritual materials.
It was very rare for him in the past.
But judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be difficult to collect them.
But if someone like him has no connections and relies on his own luck, it will obviously be quite cumbersome and troublesome.
He didn't want to join the sect or the family. Even the contract he just made was an employment contract instead of a guest contract with better treatment.
The reason is that he doesn't want to be restrained and driven by others.
As for Xie Hui in front of him, his shop is small and his influence is weak.
Enjoy its offerings, and you will not be bound or restrained.
You can also use his connections to collect spiritual materials and resources for him...
It should be a good choice for him.
However, the premise is that it can be useful to him and has no evil intentions towards him.
"Senior, don't worry. Give me ten days. After ten days, senior, you can come and pick it up!"
Xie Hui took one look at the list and immediately patted his chest in assurance.
"OK."
Chu Mu nodded: "In ten days, Mr. Chu will come back again."
"Senior, please walk slowly."
Thanks to Hui for seeing him off, Chu Mu went out.
He stopped in front of the door and took a moment to feel the number of spiritual stones accumulated in the storage ring, as well as the many refined magical weapons. Then he went straight to the outside of Fang City.
According to his previous understanding, there are three black markets within a thousand miles of Shuitianfang.
One was the black market at the bottom of the lake that he had visited before, and the other two were located in Luofu Mountain.
The black market at the bottom of the lake is relatively close to Shuitianfang, while the other two black markets are quite far away.
According to the situation he just inquired about in Fangshi, the location of the other two black markets should be close to the front line. Whether they still exist is an unknown matter.
The black market at the bottom of the lake is at the rear.
The three black markets are all the goals of his trip.
When he first entered Foundation Establishment, he was almost completely penniless. He lacked more than just a little bit.
"I hope I can gain something..."
Stopping outside Fangshi, he sighed softly, then grabbed Wangcai, jumped up, flew up, and soon disappeared into the sky...
