Early morning, Chen's house in Yongtongfang.
After breakfast, Chen Mu carried a pile of medicinal materials under the thatched shed and began to sort them one by one.
Some grind the ingredients, some soak them to extract the juice, and some boil them over high heat.
Then, according to a specific order, the prepared medicine is mixed and poured into the large clay pot.
Heat the charcoal over low heat, stirring while heating.
Stop heating until a jar of viscous liquid turns into the shape of plasticine and let it cool naturally.
Then pour the brown medicinal mud into a polished hardwood mold, flatten it and compact it into small cylindrical shapes as high as mung beans and as big as soybeans.
Immediately put it in a cool place to dry.
After working all morning, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the molds that were placed on the wooden frame.
"These blue pills are enough to sell for a month."
The blue pill business must continue.
Although he now has a huge amount of money, there will always be a time when it all runs out.
You can't wait until you are in urgent need to think of a solution.
He doesn't want to take on huge debt again.
…
Five days later.
Lijiang Tower in the east of the city.
Chen Mu arrived in time for lunch.
As usual, I chose a corner in the lobby on the first floor. While waiting for the person from Jie Jia to pick up the goods, I looked at the flow of people in the lobby. Keep your ears open and listen to the news of the world.
Soon he was attracted by a chubby figure.
The other person was six or seven years old, and he was also sitting in a corner of the lobby, near the aisle to the kitchen.
There was a tall, thin old man sitting next to him.
The old man was holding a knife and cutting the roast duck piece by piece for the little fat man.
The old man cut a piece, and the little fat man grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was full of oil, and Chen Mu had an appetite after eating.
He ordered one immediately.
The waiter served the sliced roast duck and arranged various dipping sauces.
Chen Mu couldn't wait to taste a piece, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He couldn't help but extend his thumb: "It's delicious!"
The waiter smiled with a smile on his face: "This is one of the top ten signatures of our Lijiang Tower."
"It has been passed down for hundreds of years, with exquisite materials and unique techniques."
Chen Mu put another piece of roast duck into his mouth and nodded with satisfaction: "The raw materials and condiments are indeed exquisite, and the technique is also exquisite."
The waiter's face was full of pride: "That's right! In the whole of Nanyang, only our Lijiang Lou family can make it! Not even Fan Lou in Fucheng."
"There are two families now." A calm voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
Chen Mu turned around in surprise: "Why did you come in person?"
He immediately turned around and sent away the waiter who was hesitant to speak.
Jie Jia said nothing and looked at Chen Mu speechlessly: "Are you so blatantly stealing from me?"
"Wait until I make it, and if you can, don't eat it." Chen Mu rolled his eyes, and he didn't see you eating less at any meal.
Jie Jia sat down slowly and said nothing.
"Something." Chen Mu kicked a medicine box at his feet to Jie Jia.
There were not only more than a thousand blue pills inside, but also the core drugs of Qingfeng Powder and Lingsha Pills.
"Yeah." Jie Jia glanced at him and nodded.
"You tell me, the old man has made a lot of money recently. Why do you come here in person for such a small profit?" Chen Mu teased.
Jie Jia knows how to make Zu Ming Talisman, and one piece sells for 3,500 taels, which makes Chen Mu drool with envy.
"Mission." Jie Jia said calmly.
"Are you still taking orders?" Chen Mu looked at Jie Jia in surprise and whispered, "You can't make enough money with the Zuming Talisman."
Jie Jia said nothing.
"It seems that the employer gave you a lot." Chen Mu clicked his tongue and shook his head.
What kind of hatred or resentment?
If you can ask Jie Jia to work in the field, the price will definitely not be less than ten Zuming Talismans.
"Failed." Jie Jia shook his head.
"And when you missed?" Chen Mu was surprised.
"The information provided by the employer is false. The price is low." Jie Jia said calmly.
"Then you just gave up?" Chen Mu rolled his eyes.
"If the other party's information is wrong, their deposit will be confiscated directly." Jie Jia raised his eyelids.
Chen Mu: "..."
When it comes to making money, you have to look at Jie Jia.
Can you make money even if you give up the task voluntarily? !
I want to say everything... I don't want to join!
…
On the way home, Chen Mu was thinking about Jie Jia.
This old man mastered the core technology, but in the end he was still in the killer business.
I also did errands at first.
He earns thousands of taels of silver, and he also earns one or two taels of silver.
But he made so much money and never spent it. Let him rub it all into beads.
But there were so many beads and he couldn't find where to put them.
"Old man Jie also has a storage treasure?" The more Chen Mu thought about it, the more it made sense.
As I was thinking about it, I was suddenly startled.
"Even Jie Jia gave up on the mission target. It shows that the opponent's strength is not low."
“Isn’t this Lijiang City also not peaceful?!”
"I should have asked Jie Jia about the situation in Lijiang City just now." Chen Mu was annoyed. Immediately returned home quickly.
It's better to go out less often.
…
I sensed that there might be a hidden master in Lijiang Acropolis.
Chen Mu rarely goes out.
Except for purchasing necessary supplies, I have been staying at home.
Maintain the Heavenly Snake Breathing Technique at all times and continuously advance the progress of the training.
The movement range of the breathing method of the training technique is not large. Once you become proficient, you don’t even need to concentrate.
This gave him a lot of time to read books, brush up on medicine, and ponder Bigu Pills.
Half a month later.
Under the thatched shed, Chen Mu opened the upper half of the square wooden mold, and white dumplings the size of table tennis balls were lying quietly in the lower half of the mold.
Pick one up and put it in your mouth.
It still has the salty yet sweet taste of rice balls.
It is slightly hard to chew, but melts quickly after being bitten into pieces.
"The taste is a bit like chocolate." Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, this is a high-calorie and high-protein concentrated protein pill.
It is a nutritional supplement that he devised using his third-level cooking skills and fourth-level pharmaceutical skills.
"The rice dumplings can finally be eliminated."
"I'll definitely ask Jie Jia to try it next time. Now I can call it Bigu Pill."
…
Daliang 641, July 29th.
Chen's house in Yongtongfang.
The Heavenly Snake's form training technique broke through to the fourth level without any surprises.
A big slap appeared on the chest.
Breathing becomes longer, and the whole body endurance is improved to a certain extent.
"It's quite satisfactory." Chen Mu was neither disappointed nor surprised.
"It's another form-training technique that hasn't been mastered yet." Chen Mu sighed as he looked at the word "limit" that appeared on the entry in front of him.
He took out the four borrowed training books, and his expectations were much lower.
"I guess he's just a wanderer at best."
"Forget it, let's practice." Chen Mu shrugged.
I chose the last one, which is also the simplest one - "Yun Ming Shaping Technique".
This is a training technique that "Song Jiang" borrowed from King Chao Tian.
The maximum number of breathing changes is one hundred and eight.
Much worse than the other three books.
However, there are very few postures in this form training technique. There are only three changes in the form training, totaling thirty-six variations.
"You should be able to practice this very quickly."
The less exercise, the less physical transformation, and the shorter the training time.
He has already superimposed six training techniques, so the training speed is faster.
Cloud mirage, an invisible cloud-like creature.
This is how it is introduced in the book.
Chen Mu was curious about this. This was the first time he had heard of a creature like a mirage.
After reading through it carefully, Chen Mu got up and practiced, getting into the mood with ease.
