"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Shang Huan's eyes were dull and he kept mumbling.
"Don't believe me? How about I show you my skills?" Chen Mu glanced sideways at Shang Huan.
"Trust, trust, trust, trust, I believe!" Shang Huan waved his hand quickly.
"The insect repellent incense business will be done for me for three cents." Chen Mu said with a chuckle.
Anyway, Gongsun Sheng can still collect another sum.
"But you have to disguise yourself."
"It's better to change the name of the style and use different signboards like Zhang's and Li's insect repellent incense. Everyone sells it, but each one doesn't sell much."
"If they are all gathered together, the stall will be too big, and my status as the new alchemy boy in the Alchemy Pavilion will not be very effective."
"Understood!" Shang Huan has slowly regained his composure.
Chen Mu glanced at Shang Huan to confirm that the other party really listened, and then felt relieved.
After chatting for a while, Shang Huan looked around the empty room, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "You are too shabby. Let me bring you some furniture tomorrow."
Chen Mu looked at Shang Huan suspiciously.
When did this fat man become so considerate?
"Will it be troublesome?"
"No trouble." Shang Huan waved his hand: "Yuquanfang has been planned and built at the foot of the mountain. It is very convenient to purchase various supplies."
Immediately he chuckled: "I'll recruit a few people to give you something and use their mouths to promote it. Let people know that we also have a backer!"
I knew it! Chen Mu rolled his eyes.
Are you starting to pull the wool over the tiger's skin?
However, this is indeed a good way, and he does not need to show his face.
"Okay." Chen Mu shrugged.
It also saves him the trouble of going down the mountain for shopping and transportation, and he can enjoy his leisure time.
…
Shang Huan moves very quickly.
The next afternoon, I visited again with seven or eight people carrying brand new tables, chairs, benches, cupboards, furniture and other items.
"Have you really mastered it?" Mr. Hao stared at Chen Mu in disbelief.
"If it were fake, I wouldn't be able to live here." Chen Mu said with a smile.
"Uncle Hao, do you have any secrets to practice growing yellow sprouted rice?" Shang Huan teased with a smile.
"First there was Senior Brother Mo, then Senior Brother Chen, tsk tsk..."
Mr. Hao rolled his eyes: "If you have that secret, why can't you even perfect the ability to sense spiritual light?"
"I also taught you farming."
Chen Mu looked strange.
Through the concentric spell, he could clearly see Shang Huan's jade seed shining brightly.
Maybe in a year and a half, I can complete the practice of sensing spiritual light.
From now on, as long as the earth spirit's vitality can keep up, sooner or later, he will be able to practice magic and destroy illusions.
One person can teach three senses to break the delirium?
Ah……
Although he was only taught how to grow yellow bud rice, no one had such luck.
…
Originally, he wanted to stay with the two of them for dinner, but Old Monk Hao and Shang Huan politely refused.
Chen Mu could only send the two of them away.
On the mountain road, a group of people were walking and chatting along the stone steps.
"Fat Shang, if you didn't say hello in advance, what if we collided with Senior Brother Chen?"
"That's right, senior brother is a high-level cultivator and the future alchemist of Danbao Pavilion!"
"Now you know how powerful your fat man is, right?" Shang Huan said proudly.
"Senior Brother Chen and I are old friends, so don't be afraid!"
"How about it, are you envious?"
"I can't believe that you still have such a relationship!" Everyone sighed and looked at Shang Huan in different ways.
"What about this meal tonight?"
"We please we please."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go, haha!"
…
At the entrance of the cave, under the window outside the alchemy room.
Chen Mu stood on the edge of the cliff and couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to Shang Huan's bragging.
Just as he was about to return to the house, a strange figure came into view.
The other person is in his forties, wearing a navy blue shirt, a jade belt around his waist, and a brown wooden hairpin stuck diagonally in his bun.
The other party's steps seemed slow but were actually fast. In just a few steps, he arrived at the door of Chen Mu's cave.
"But Junior Brother Chen is in person, I'm Bai Xiuwen." The man stood in the open space in front of the door, with a gentle smile on his face, and cupped his hands.
"I live next door to my junior brother. I'm sorry to disturb you, but I wish my junior brother Haihan." Bai Xiuwen pointed to the cliff on the east side.
Chen Mu suddenly realized that this was a visit from a neighbor.
Although this neighbor's cave is hundreds of meters away from him, it is really his neighbor.
"Junior brother, don't you invite me to come in and sit down?" Bai Xiuwen joked.
Chen Mu's heart moved.
He was looking for someone to get information. Didn't he feel sleepy and someone gave him a pillow?
He immediately said with enthusiasm on his face: "Junior brother, the reception is not good enough, please!"
…
"How to earn Taoist merit?" In Chen Mu's cave, Bai Xiuwen put the tea cup on the brand new coffee table next to him and looked at Chen Mu opposite him without any surprise.
"Can junior brother ingest the source of demonic energy?"
The source of evil spirits? what is that?
"That's a pity." Bai Xiuwen shook his head.
"Yuquan Mountain is newly built and is in urgent need of manpower to open up wasteland and farm."
"Da Qian Country doesn't have that many armor soul masters, so we can only rely on the Sky Demon Reincarnation Pill to generate steel skin. The Reincarnation Pill becomes extremely valuable."
"The source of demonic energy is the main medicine of the Reincarnation Pill. Whoever can ingest it will earn Dao Gong."
"Is this the only way to earn Taoist power?" Chen Mu couldn't help but frown.
"That's not it." Bai Xiuwen waved his hand.
"The main medicine of the Lingxi Bai Mi Dan is Dixi San, the main medicine of the Ningshen Dan is Yubailu, and the main medicine of the Shengsheng Good Fortune Dan is Baihua Jingqi. All these have Taoist merits to earn."
"What about the essence of the five grains?" Chen Mu couldn't help but ask.
Bai Xiuwen sighed: "It can only be said that our time has been unlucky."
"We?" Chen Mu's heart moved.
"Senior brother, I also learned the Five Grain Talisman."
"In the past, twenty kilograms of grain essence contained a piece of white jade, and a hundred kilograms of grain essence could yield some Taoist power."
"Now all I have left is the little white jade money." Bai Xiuwen spread his hands helplessly.
Chen Mu suddenly frowned.
I have worked so hard to gain experience in the Five Grains Talisman, and now I am told that I cannot change the Dao Technique?
Sure enough, as Liang Yi said, something unexpected happened.
"Who asked us to catch up with the development and construction of the Yuquan Mountain Villa?" Bai Xiuwen curled his lips.
"Of course if it's for urgent use, other hospitals will raise the price for it."
"Use Tao Kung White Jade to force the fifty or so alchemy boys like us to learn new talismans and assist the six alchemy masters in refining alchemy."
Going to learn new spells? Who should I learn from? Where can I change the secret method?
The more Chen Mu thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Since other courtyards use Taoist skills to guide alchemy boys to learn new talismans, there must be channels for exchange.
Just replace it with white jade?
Chen Mu shook his head secretly.
Secret techniques such as refining alchemy and making weapons are definitely not as good as the secret techniques below.
He estimated that not only a high amount of white jade would be required, but also Taoist skills.
But he has no Taoist skills. This time we hit a dead end.
"It's better to be an alchemist." Bai Xiuwen sighed.
"No matter what needs other hospitals have, as long as you can practice elixirs, you will need Taoist white jade money."
Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What about Bigu Pill?"
"As long as you practice two bottles of twenty Bigu Pills, you will have some Taoist skills and nine white jade coins." Bai Xiuwen's face was full of envy.
Chen Mu glanced at the experience on the gray wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
At most half a month, he can try to refine the Bigu Pill.
Hey!
Isn't this a coincidence?
…
"It's too difficult to become an alchemist!" Bai Xiuwen suddenly said in a low voice.
"You have to have a secret method. Even if you have a secret method, condensing the talisman is still a big difficulty."
"This isn't over yet." Bai Xiuwen frowned and stared.
"The alchemy furnace is divided into three, six, and five in terms of cold and heat."
"But the secret method of alchemy will only tell you a certain range."
"If there is no one to guide you and you don't know the key points, you can only make three or five pills with one hundred ingredients."
"Keep practicing and you will lose everything!" Bai Xiuwen looked back with a look of dismay.
Chen Mu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
The secret method of alchemy he obtained was indeed general in terms of requirements such as the restriction of cold and heat qi.
If you practice blindly by yourself, the consequences will be...
"No one in the cabinet teaches?"
Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the Lower House of Confucianism.
Shouldn’t this private tutoring model of paying for lessons be unique to the House of Commons?
"Yes, but do you have Taoist skills?" Bai Xiuwen glanced at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's heart sank.
It's troublesome.
"Fortunately, there is no unstoppable path for everyone." Bai Xiuwen suddenly smiled.
"Senior brother, do you have any ideas?" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.
"Hey! I have to mention our senior brother Qi Huiqi."
"He is one of the six alchemists in Danbao Pavilion, and he is especially proficient in Bigu Pill."
"Just a few words of advice can help us a lot." Bai Xiuwei shook his head with pride, indicating that he had received advice before.
"Of course, pie in the sky will not fall for nothing."
"Fortunately, senior brother is kind. He doesn't want Taoist skills or money. He only asks us to help him absorb the essence of grains and assist him in making elixirs."
"How about it? Is it a good deal?"
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Help absorb the essence of grains and assist in elixir refining?
That means not giving money?
This makes us work as coolies and work in vain!
He looked at Bai Xiuwen with amusement in his eyes.
