"It's just some superficial skills and cannot be called a master of weapon refining."
Chu Mu waved his hand. Although he said this, the confidence and pride derived from his skills were still faintly visible in his brows.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are very humble."
Xie Nan smiled heartily, and within a few words, the relationship between the two strangers seemed to suddenly become much closer.
"However, according to the regulations of this alliance, if a weapon refiner like you, fellow Taoist, signs an employment contract with this alliance, he will receive some additional benefits."
"Fellow Taoist, you didn't show your skills before, and the disciples in the alliance were also negligent."
With that said, Xie Nan handed over a token.
"With this token, coupled with the employment contract order, you can live for free in any city under the jurisdiction of our alliance in a house below Grade A for no time limit."
"If your fellow Taoist is an artifact refiner, you only have to bear 50% of the losses incurred in refining artifacts for this alliance."
"In addition, Taoist friends will receive a certain discount when they contribute to the treasure house in exchange for treasures."
Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, hesitating slightly.
Seeing this, Xie Nan smiled and explained: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, this is just some preferential treatment given by this alliance to a person with extraordinary skills like you, fellow Taoist, and there will be no other constraints."
"Then Mr. Chu would be disrespectful."
Chu Mu nodded and put away the token.
Immediately, Xie Nan was very open and revealed his intention in a way that Chu Mu had not expected.
"According to the rules of the alliance and the family, Xie, as the foreign affairs elder, has the responsibility to win over a Taoist monk like you who has outstanding skills and extraordinary talents."
"Just treat it as a routine matter, fellow Taoist, don't be surprised!"
With that said, Xie Nan handed over two contracts.
"Fellow Taoist, take a look. If you don't want to, it's okay. It's just routine anyway."
A strong man in the middle stage of foundation building spoke so politely, and just for a look, Chu Mu was naturally willing to give him this face.
Chu Mu picked it up and looked through it. There were two contracts, one as a guest and one as an alliance.
The guest's contract is that of a second-class guest, which means that once he signs this contract, he can directly surpass the third-class guest and become a second-class guest of the Righteous Alliance!
The alliance contract is even simpler.
By joining the Righteous Alliance, he will directly cross the threshold of the Outer Alliance and enjoy the treatment of a disciple of the Inner Alliance.
Both contracts and various benefits are extremely generous.
Much more generous than those he had heard about.
"Chu is used to being lazy and cannot be restrained."
After just a cursory scan, Chu Mu put down the two contracts with a calm but firm voice.
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's just a routine matter, it won't get in the way."
As if expected, Xie Nan didn't look strange at all, and his smile remained as fresh as spring breeze.
After some small talk, Chu Mu didn't stay too long, and with Xie Nan seeing him off, he left the contribution hall and walked directly to the inn.
In the inn, he still has a business to do.
He was still looking forward to the first serious business experience in his career as a weapon refiner.
As soon as I returned to the inn, I was immediately greeted by the waiter who had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Senior, there is a senior named Zhu who said he is looking for you and has been waiting in cubicle A1 on the second floor for some time."
"OK."
Chu Mu nodded, and under the guidance of the innkeeper, he walked into a compartment on the second floor.
In the cubicle, Zhu Zhang had already taken a seat. When he saw Chu Mu appear, after some polite remarks, he immediately got to the point.
"Fellow Taoist, look at this frost stone. Can it match my century-old cold iron?"
"As for the frost stone..."
Chu Mu took it, observed it for a while, and nodded: "Yes, but how to refine it and how to match the spiritual materials depends on your requirements, fellow Taoist."
"I'm ready, fellow Taoist, take a look."
As soon as Chu Mu finished speaking, Zhu Zhang immediately handed over a jade slip as if he had been prepared for it.
Chu Mu glanced at Zhu Zhang, who looked a little anxious. His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more. He took the jade slip and looked at it.
This is undoubtedly the first time in his career as a weapon refiner.
Accepting other people's orders for refining weapons, and custom-making a high-grade spiritual weapon.
Zhu Zhang had obviously had similar experience, or had received guidance from a weapon refiner. In the jade slip, the various requirements for this high-grade spiritual weapon shield were described very clearly.
The dozen or so requirements, including his own skills and attributes, all clearly stated what kind of high-grade spiritual weapon shield he wanted.
After about a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu put down the jade slip, waved his sleeves, and the white paper was laid out in front of him. He dipped his pen in ink and started writing straightly.
With a swipe of the pen, strong and powerful fonts appeared one after another among dragons and phoenixes, and finally, they were combined into corresponding nouns for spiritual materials.
"This is the weapon refining formula, take a look."
Chu Mu raised his hand and waved, and the white paper floated in front of Zhu Zhang.
Immediately, with a slight movement of his sleeves, a simple consciousness projection device that he had refined before fell on the table.
Following the movement of his consciousness, a shield with a light blue body and a white frost border was vividly projected in front of the two of them.
"If you follow this recipe, this is what the shield will look like in the end."
"The specific defense strength and type of formation restrictions must be decided by yourself..."
He explained as he explained.
Chu Mu still attached great importance to this first business.
Cooperating with Xie Hui is an attempt.
And now, it should be regarded as his deeper exploration of this attempt.
After all, he is different now.
In the past, whatever you needed to practice Qi realm, you could basically buy it on the market.
Nowadays, the foundation building realm is undoubtedly completely different.
He needed a new source of wealth.
Of course, this wealth not only refers to spiritual stones, but also refers to resources, resources that cannot be purchased on the market.
And his current weapon refining skills are obviously just like his alchemy skills in the past, and he can shoulder this important task.
However, having reached the foundation-building realm, it seems impossible to remain anonymous to achieve this possibility. At least, it will definitely not work if he wants to act according to his plan.
Everything he did before, such as revealing his cultivation, revealing his weapon refining skills, and showing his puppet skills, was all in preparation for this.
The status of a master of weapon refining is enough to save him a lot of trouble, and it can also bring him great benefits.
Just like Zhu Zhang in front of him, customizing a high-grade spiritual weapon shield, the price on the surface is not small, but the price in the dark... is even greater!
Moreover, after this transaction is over, as long as there is no absolute conflict of interest, Zhu Zhang will obviously maintain the relationship with him, the master of weapon refinement.
Network, circle...
He didn't care about these things in the past.
But now that he is new to foundation building, he really needs to devote some energy to paying attention.
After all, the Foundation Establishment Realm is different from the huge Qi Training Realm group.
Judging from what he has seen and heard so far, these are small circles. It can be expected that the higher the cultivation level, the narrower this circle will be, and the higher the threshold will be!
"If possible, that's the old rule, 50% more of the main material, and prepare two copies of the remaining auxiliary materials."
"As for the refining cost, it should be cheaper for Taoist friends to make the first transaction. You can use the contract liaison order and contribute one thousand."
Chu Mu's voice was calm and he looked at Zhu Zhang in front of him.
Although this was his first time taking on business, judging from the tasks on this contract liaison order, the price was very reasonable, and could even be said to be cheap.
After all, one thousand contribution points, according to the current exchange ratio, is only four to five thousand spirit stones. Of course, the exchange of contribution points and spirit stones is generally priceless.
"Okay, I'll go get ready first, and then I'll contact you, fellow Taoist."
Zhu Zhang couldn't hide his joy and directly transferred one thousand contribution points to Chu Mu's contract liaison order.
After saying that, Zhu Zhang picked up the weapon refining formula and left in a hurry.
Chu Mu glanced at the extra thousand contribution points on the contract liaison order, and then looked at the projection still floating on the table, looking slightly thoughtful.
Being a weapon refiner brings great benefits indeed.
When he is extremely conservative, it is an income of one thousand contribution points.
And this is only the apparent cost, and... there should be relatively large room for growth in this cost.
But in the dark, with this shield formula, he has basically no possibility of failure, and the extra spiritual materials must be in his pocket.
And these spiritual materials that can be used to refine high-grade spiritual weapons obviously cannot be cheap.
But what he has to consider is how to maximize this benefit while avoiding possible troubles.
"Master of Weapon Refining..."
After a long while, Chu Mu took a deep breath, stretched out, and slowly hid his thoughts in his heart.
He walked out of the inn compartment and out of the restricted area of the partition, and the hustle and bustle of the inn ensued.
His sleeves moved slightly, and the token he had just received from the Contribution Hall was floating in the palm of his hand.
After staring for a moment, he looked out the window at the street.
Today's Shuitianfang, as one of the few towns of the Righteous Alliance in Luofu County, has become an important transit hub supplying Jingmen frontline logistics.
Almost every day, countless supplies are transported to Shuitianfang from various channels, and then from Shuitianfang, they are supported to the Jingmen front line.
Every day, many immortal cultivators who had rested from the front line arrived at Shuitianfang and stopped there.
At the same time, due to the previous defeat of the Righteous Alliance, Shuitianfang was, strictly speaking, within the Changsheng Sect's military front range.
However, the war in the world of immortality is obviously different from the war in the secular world.
Just like the Battle of Jingmen that has been going on for a long time, both sides have a tacit understanding to fight on the battlefield of Jingmen, although both sides will have various sneak attacks on Fangshi and mines from behind enemy lines.
But the main forces on both sides had no plans to secretly attack Chen Cang.
Yes, there is only an upright duel.
After all, the real core of the war lies only in the superior legendary existence of both sides.
The fact that the war can continue to this day shows that there is a superior being and they have never decided the winner.
If there is no winner or loser, then there must be a tacit understanding.
King versus king, versus general, set up a battle formation and fight head-on.
The strategy of the army secretly attacking Chen Cang is obviously of little significance unless it can directly cause harm to the enemy's superior legendary being.
Unless the tacit understanding is broken, the balance of war is completely tilted, and the situation is completely irreversible, as was the case with the back stabbing of the Chen family in Hanhai, otherwise, the Battle of Jingmen will obviously continue for a long, long time.
As for Shuitianfang, there is danger during this time period, but there should be no major danger.
"Let's stay here for now..."
A rough judgment emerged in his mind. Chu Mu took a long breath, raised his hand and turned it over. While the token was put into the storage ring, he stepped forward and walked out of the inn...
