Tianhe Water Mansion, T-shaped District, Yupinxuan.
"Do you want yellow rice?" Le Yangan looked at Chen Mu with some embarrassment.
"As you can see, my Yupinxuan mainly deals in pill pills and exotic animal materials. It doesn't take up much space and is of high value."
"Although yellow sprout rice is a necessity, it takes up too much space, so..." Le Yangan shrugged.
Chen Mu was a little disappointed.
He had mastered the technique of absorbing energy, just like he had mastered the skill of slaying a dragon. His hands were itchy, so he wanted to make a batch of yellow sprout rice to extract the essence of grains.
I didn't plan to sell it for money, I just wanted to keep it in the five ghost bag.
This thing can almost be regarded as a semi-finished Bigu Pill. It is small in size and high in energy. It is very suitable for carrying as a food reserve.
"There are three large grain stores in the T-shaped district. Can you go to them to buy?" Le Yangan looked at Chen Mu in confusion.
"I want a little too much, and I'm afraid I'll be cheated."
One hundred and eighty kilograms of grain essence requires seven to eight thousand kilograms of yellow sprout rice as raw material.
If someone is curious and investigates, and discovers that he can refine the essence of grains, it might cause a small disturbance.
He hates trouble!
Leyang An raised his eyebrows: "If you are buying in bulk, I can help you make a batch."
Chen Mu was immediately happy.
"Then make a batch."
"I have to pay some fees." Le Yangan explained in advance.
"No problem!" Chen Mu was confident. We are a wealthy family with more than 30,000 yuan of white jade with us, why are we afraid of you taking a small commission?
"Then, is half a million catties enough?" Le Yangan asked.
"Ahem, cough, cough... less, less."
"Oh, I'm afraid it's not enough. Okay, you name it." Le Yangan said.
Chen Mu thought about it seriously: "Look, how about five thousand catties."
Le Yangan just looked at Chen Mu so gently and said nothing.
Chen Mu also felt embarrassed.
The main reason is that the measurement of my own large batches is different from other people's large batches.
"I'd better go to the grain store to buy it." Chen Mu murmured and ran away dejectedly.
…
"Isn't there just a shortage of goods?" Chen Mu muttered as he walked on the streets of the T-shaped district.
"When I develop the essence of grains, I will take it out and scare you to death!"
"It would be great if Jie Jia was here." Chen Mu thought with nostalgia.
The old man doesn't care how much money he has, as long as he makes money, he will do it.
"Boss Le doesn't have good business ideas."
After strolling around, Chen Mu came to Bazhen Tower.
Chen Mu sat behind a square table by the window on the second floor, looking through the window at the hustle and bustle of people in the streets of the T-shaped district. While chewing this boiled fish fillet slowly.
"The chefs at Bazhenlou are better than those at Hongxiufang."
“Medium soft and hard, with a good balance of freshness and saltiness, not bad!”
While he was secretly analyzing the ingredients for the dishes, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the south of Shuifu.
Rumble…
Continuous tremors were heard, and the dishes and soup on the table could not help but ripple.
what happened? !
Chen Mu suddenly stood up and came to the window, looking far away in the direction of the explosion.
There was a vague chaotic sound, and it could be roughly confirmed that it was from the southeast of Gengzi District.
Some impatient people have jumped out of the window and climbed to the top of Bazhen Building.
There were also many people on the street jumping onto the tall buildings on both sides of the street to watch.
"Has there been such a movement in Shuifu before?" Chen Mu pulled the waiter over.
"It's never happened before." The man was also a little surprised.
Chen Mu let go of the other party and frowned.
At this time, three streams of light flew over the head and headed straight to the southeast of Gengzi District.
"He's a guest of Fujun!"
"This is just great……"
"It seems like it's not a big deal..."
Vague talk reached Chen Mu's ears. The place where the accident occurred was in the Geng District, and he did not dare to run back. I can only stay in Bazhen Building and wait patiently.
Half an hour later.
The three streams of light just now flew over the head again.
Finished?
Chen Mu felt happy.
Not long after, news gradually came.
"It's the entrance dragon gate of No. 12 in Gengzi District that collapsed."
"The river poured back and flooded many places."
"How come it collapsed after everything was fine? Someone sabotaged it, right?"
"The guests of Fujun said it was due to disrepair and the degradation of the talismans."
"The gatekeeper will be in bad luck..."
"He deserves it! If such a big mistake happens, he deserves it."
Chen Mu put earbands on his ears to listen to the teachings and listened patiently, feeling relieved.
It doesn't mean that there are wars and disputes.
The entrance dragon gate is the portal of Tianhe Water Mansion, with a total of twelve.
There are magical talismans to construct special powers, and the boat can enter the river but cannot.
"Fortunately, it was just the dragon gate that collapsed. If the water palace collapsed..." Chen Mu suddenly shuddered.
The Tongtian River is unfathomably deep.
After leaving the Tianhe Water Mansion and looking up, it was completely pitch black with no light at all.
If you fall into this water...
Can't can't.
"With such a huge property, Lord Tianhe Mansion will never let any problems arise in Tianhe Water Mansion."
With this gantry collapse accident, the other party will definitely check and remedy the situation in Shuifu in time.
The tension that had just risen in Chen Mu's heart slowly dissipated.
"The one who should be concerned is Mr. Tianhe Mansion."
"The sky is falling and there are tall people watching, I'm scared as hell!"
Chen Mu immediately sat down and continued to listen to everyone's discussion and slowly tasted the delicacies of Bazhenlou.
…
the next day.
The 62nd floor of Tongtian Building, No. 9, Gengzi District.
"Water Avoidance Technique? There should be some." Mo Wuzhou looked at Chen Mu strangely: "Junior Brother Chen doesn't think about the Five Yuan Qi Inhalation Technique, so why is he still thinking about practicing such a useless technique?"
Five Yuan Qi Inhalation Method?
Chen Mu glanced at his second-level Qi Absorbing Technique and the ultimate grain talisman.
Do you still need to think about this thing?
Just like me, if you work a little harder, you'll be fine!
"Oh, junior brother, are you worried about the collapse of Shui Mansion Longmen?" Mo Wuzhou suddenly realized before Chen Mu could answer.
"Junior brother, you are worrying too much."
"Tianhe Water Mansion has been in existence for I don't know how many years. It is normal to have minor malfunctions occasionally, but it is absolutely impossible to cause large-scale damage."
"But what if?" Chen Mu was worried.
"Junior brother, if you are still worried, you can buy a water repellent bead." Mo Wuzhou suggested.
Avoid water drops?
A magic weapon to avoid water?
I'll go to Yupinxuan later to have a look.
"I still want to practice the water avoidance technique." Chen Mu collected it and handed Mo Wuzhou a small gray cloth bag: "Here are one hundred white jade coins. If it is not enough, senior brother, let me know."
The magic weapon is very good. But what if it is lost. If you don't have too many skills, it's better to learn more techniques.
"Okay." Mo Wuzhou shrugged his shoulders: "When my uncle comes out of seclusion, I will ask you."
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him.
Pengyue Mountain was occupied by the snow demon Qingliu, and Fuzi, the capital of the Chuanjing Academy, fell.
Fortunately, Song Wuji, the supervisor of the prison, had a copy.
"Human energy is limited. Learning too many secret techniques will distract your energy." Mo Wuzhou couldn't help but said in the end.
"Compared to the geniuses of the Upper House, our starting point is lower than theirs."
"So it's best not to get distracted."
"You have to find a way and then practice hard, only then can you be brave and diligent!"
"Senior brother is so right!" Chen Mu sighed with emotion.
Looking back on the trajectory along the way, he couldn't help but resonate with his heart.
"Junior brother, I am able to achieve my current level of cultivation only by having a single-minded goal and studying hard!" Chen Mu said seriously.
"Yes...really?" Mo Wuzhou's eyes were strange.
I always feel like something is wrong.
…
Return to the inn.
Chen Mu met several familiar figures carrying large and small bags.
Several people nodded slightly to Chen Mu and left in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Chen Mu walked to the corner and approached Hao Laoshanghuan's table.
"The rent has increased and I can't live here anymore." Mr. Hao shook his head with a bitter look on his face.
Price increase?
Where is this song coming from?
"I don't know what Mr. Jiao Fu thinks. If it goes up, it will go up. But the price can be doubled! Who can bear this?" Shang Huan was also shaking his head beside him.
"Then they..." Chen Mu pointed at the backs of several people leaving.
"They plan to live in Tianhefang above."
"Although there is no earth spirit energy there, the prices are low."
"It's not far from the Shuifu Mansion, and there is a regular round-trip shuttle boat service. The monthly boat ticket only costs one white jade coin."
"It's just a place to sleep. You can still come here to work during the day."
Shang Huan, Mr. Hao, explained it word by word.
Chen Mu was stunned.
This is just like office workers in first-tier cities in previous lives.
The rent is too expensive, so I can only rent or buy a house in a neighboring city and commute to work every day.
"Is it related to the collapse of Longmen yesterday?" Chen Mu wondered.
"They said they wanted to overhaul the water palace, so they raised taxes. Then we were unlucky." Mr. Hao sighed.
"If this continues, I'll want to live in Tianhefang."
"The Shuifu Dragon Gate is so good, why is it broken?"
"Yes." Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
I thought Yunzhou was more stable than Daliang.
But the past three years have always been turbulent.
The world is tough.
