With a large number of good players leaving.
Yingchou Cliff suddenly became deserted.
The flow of people in Shanjiaofang City became increasingly sparse.
The price of exotic animal meat has unexpectedly dropped a lot.
"The people who eat meat have gone to Liulian Mountain to fight for their lives. If the price is not reduced, they can't sell it." Butcher Zhang was unhappy.
"If they don't fight to the death, how can they get white jade to buy your meat? Just be satisfied." Chen Mule said cheerfully.
"If I had known, I would have closed the door and gone to Liulian Mountain." Butcher Zhang regretted habitually.
"Then go ahead." Chen Mu squinted.
"Forget it, if one more of me is not more, if one less of me is not more, then I won't cause trouble to them." Butcher Zhang looked indifferent.
Ah……
Chen Mu glanced at the other party: "You are right."
…
Someday in January.
The weather was clear and cloudless.
In the underground secret room, Chen Mu sat cross-legged on a soft couch, holding the three-legged and two-eared Hunyuan furnace in his hands, his eyes closed tightly.
He carefully activated the Cardinal Charm of Wind and Fire, and the alchemy furnace suddenly made a rhythmic buzzing sound.
Before this, he had refined two hundred and seventeen furnace-building Yuan Dan, and without exception, they all failed at this last level.
Chen Mu didn't dare to be careless anymore, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
It took a while.
boom!
A muffled sound came out.
Chen Mu's heart sank.
Done!
Just as he was about to withdraw his magic power, he suddenly felt that the Five Qi Hunyuan Method was still exerting power intermittently.
He was suddenly startled, and quickly concentrated his energy, carefully arranging and merging the thirteen essences according to Hunyuan's extraordinary power.
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Mu carefully opened the Hunyuan Furnace, and when he looked out, he saw a gray Qiu Dan Pill floating in the middle of the Hunyuan Furnace.
"Tsk... Dan-shaped oval, the aggregation technique is too rough."
"Half black but not white, the efficiency of pure Hunyuan is not high."
"The burnt smell is looming and it doesn't taste good."
"So, I'm not proud at all."
"Isn't it just that you have mastered the Peiyuan Dan? There is nothing to be proud of."
He glanced at the gray wall indifferently.
Alchemy (Peiyuan Dan): 1066/10000;
"ha!"
…
It was ten o'clock in the evening and the sun was setting in the west.
On the mountain trail, Chen Mu was one meter above the ground, suspended in mid-air, and walked forward leisurely.
The three-meter-long bucket of strange fish floating beside him was controlled by him to move its head and tail, as if swimming in the air.
This is Silver Moon Golden Eye Fish, a specialty of Dongling Mountain Creek. The meat is fresh and tender and highly tonic.
Its scales are as crystal clear as the silver moon, and its pair of big golden eyes occupy nearly half of its head.
Chen Mu controlled his breath for hundreds of miles, floated the silver-moon golden-eyed fish in front of his eyes, and stared at the big golden eyes carefully.
He frowned slightly and looked serious. After hesitating for a moment, he said solemnly: "Do you know where Hongxiufang is?"
Silver Moon Golden Eye Fish: "..."
"Green embroidery workshop is also fine."
"You are a local fish in Dongling, how come you don't know about Red and Green Xiufang?"
"If you don't tell me, I will stuff you into the Hunyuan Furnace."
"Hey! I'll give you to Hunyuan in a moment."
Just as he was happily teasing Menzi, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of his door.
"But Alchemist Chen in person?" The man was in his forties, chubby, and had a smile on his face.
Seeing Chen Mu flying freely in the air, he glanced at the golden-eyed fish again, and his expression became more kind.
"I'm Du Cheng from Baigong Palace. I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd like to ask Haihan."
Baigong Palace?
"What are you..."
"I moved here today, so I came here specifically to visit." Du Cheng pointed to the wooden corridor more than a hundred meters away.
Then he took out a talisman from his sleeve and said: "A little care is not a sign of respect."
"You're too polite." Chen Mu repeatedly waved his hand to refuse.
"The dust-proof talisman I painted is not worth anything." Du Cheng handed it to Chen Mu again.
"You are actually a Talisman Maker?! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Chen Mu did not refuse and took it with a smile.
Has Baigong Palace discovered that Senior Brother Liu is dead?
He probed calmly: "I have been busy refining elixirs these days, and I didn't notice that Senior Brother Liu has moved away."
"Maybe I went to Liulian Mountain." Du Cheng smiled casually.
"I heard that many people got rich and went directly back to the Yuquan Mountain Dojo to retreat. The same may be true for Senior Brother Liu."
Chen Mu pretended to be surprised and nodded in agreement, then opened the door and invited: "I didn't greet you well, senior brother, please come in quickly."
Du Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "Next time, I just arrived and I have to go back to clean up."
Saying this, he said goodbye and left.
Chen Mu watched the other party's back disappear into the wooden building, then calmly turned around and returned to the house.
"Senior Brother Liu has been missing for nearly two months. Are there no investigations?" He looked complicated.
Although the risk of being investigated is avoided.
But Chen Mu didn't feel much joy in his heart.
If I had disappeared that day, would I have been ignored and forgotten in an instant?
Just like the stray cats and dogs next to the trash can, after a quick glance, they are never seen again.
"I don't ask for a posthumous reputation, so why would I want to do this?" Chen Mu shook his head and laughed.
"Instead of being sad about death, I'd better live a wonderful life."
Frying, steaming and stewing, Chen Mu showed off his sixth-level cooking skills and had a delicious whole fish feast.
Then he plunged into the secret room and gained experience in condensation step by step.
…
Three days later.
Chen Mu stood in front of the window, stretched out his index finger, and gently wiped the window sill.
Immediately, he couldn't help but look at the brown talisman on Qiongyu's window.
"This dust-avoiding talisman is really useful."
In the past, a little dust would accumulate on the windowsill every few days.
Not like now, spotless.
The ground around the windows is also much cleaner. Apparently it has the effect of avoiding dust.
"wonderful."
Chen Mu played with the Yang difference bone shield, moved slowly by the window sill, and looked at the scope of the dust avoidance talisman.
Naturally, my ears hung up to listen to the teachings. A burst of crackling sound, like the sound of acid corroding, appeared more than a hundred meters away.
"Are you drawing talismans again?" That was the sound of Fa Mo corroding the talisman skin.
Chen Mu chuckled: "He is still a home cultivator."
The house has been repaired well. The house repairs will not cause trouble. It is safe.
"I have to think about the Three Talents Law Ban when I have time."
I haven't felt that before. But it suddenly occurred to me at this moment. You can spy on others, and others can spy on you.
He listens to the Dharma carefully, and others also have wonderful talismans and seals.
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Liu doesn't have much restricted information in his practice notes."
He had read the old book several times. Zhidichenggang was given hundreds more experience points.
The Three Talents Law is forbidden, but nothing can be gained.
"How did Senior Brother Liu learn it?"
The practice notes contain all of Liu Hongyang’s practice experiences.
Just like pointing the ground into steel, there are traces to follow step by step
But the three talents are forbidden, but he seems to have learned it by himself without a teacher.
The initial sporadic records were all superficial attempts. But the underground secret room actually has hidden restrictions.
Although I have only learned it for a short time, I can use it freely.
Blessed by God?
Or... directly absorb other people's experience and talents?
Thinking of Senior Brother Liu's crazy appearance, Chen Mu suddenly shuddered.
This experience package is not easy to lick.
"I'd better brush it slowly."
…
As the sun and moon turn, the weather gradually warms up.
One day, the market suddenly became lively.
Everyone's faces in the village were filled with excitement and joy.
The originally deserted North District has also returned to its former bustle.
"If I had known I would have gone too." Butcher Zhang beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Every time a guest came, he would sigh like this.
"What's going on?" Chen Mu nodded as people came and went.
"We captured Bijia Mountain and Yawu Mountain." Butcher Zhang's face was full of regret, as if he had lost money.
"Aren't you going to support Liulian Mountain? Why..." Chen Mu was startled.
"That's just a cover."
"The other courtyard gathered manpower to support Liulian Mountain openly, but secretly turned around and attacked Bijiaya Wuliang Mountain."
"The barbarians on the mountain were caught off guard and couldn't organize a decent defense at all. We were easily dispersed."
Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
All six mountains are occupied, so that offense and defense can help each other, and with the support of the upper courtyard of Jilong Road, the Yuquan Mountain Villa can be regarded as established on the boundary of Dongling.
"You don't know, those people who went there really robbed... and made a lot of money!"
"I regret it!" Butcher Zhang chopped up the meat case with a bang.
"It's not too late for you to go now. If you can't eat meat, you can still drink some soup." Chen Mu encouraged with a smile.
"It's okay to drink some soup, but I'm not worried."
Butcher Zhang put his head in and whispered: "I'm telling you, Lao Li's meat diagonally across the street is not clean. Once I leave, you old customers won't be able to eat good meat."
"Alas... I can only bear the pain and give up." Butcher Zhang sighed with regret.
It sounds like it's true.
I think you just can't bear to part with this business that's getting better and better.
Chen Mu rolled his eyes.
"Bring me two black sheep with antlers." He waved his hand.
Happy!
He planned to make Huiyuan soup on one end and prepare a whole-sheep feast on the other.
"Bieyuan has gained a firm foothold, and Dongling will soon end the chaos."
"It's good to end the chaos. It's stable and safe. I have to celebrate."
…
Yincao Hall.
It is different from the lively scene outside.
As soon as Chen Mu came in, he found that the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Several people with pale faces and missing arms and legs were waiting to get the medicinal materials.
As soon as Chen Mu appeared, these people looked over with wary expressions.
A few even instinctively touched the wrists wrapped with mustard charms. Like a frightened rabbit.
After seeing Chen Mu's attire and temperament clearly, he slowly relaxed.
Chen Mu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Battlefield sequelae?
"It seems that those two mountains are not as easy to hit as outside said."
The thin and black boss, who sent away a few injured people, shrugged.
"The rabbit bites people when they are anxious. They have already hit people's hometowns. Isn't it normal to fight back before death and kill and maim a few of them?"
"There are rumors outside that someone stole a magical weapon and made a fortune, but they only saw the thief eating the meat, not the thief being beaten."
"The ones who were disabled just now are fine. At least they are back."
"Who knows how many of those who didn't come back?" The black and thin shopkeeper looked sad.
Chen Mu deeply agreed.
"It's better to just stay on the mountain."
…
In the underground secret room, Chen Mu looked at the third-level talisman that was about to be completed, with a face filled with joy.
Three layers of silver hollow balls are nested together and rotate slowly and disorderly.
The jade seed expanded in a circle again, reaching the size of two fists.
The mana increased sharply and became more solid.
The three fingers below the navel also pulsed suddenly, and the third secret orifice gradually opened up.
Chen Mu brought out the gray wall.
Underworld general outline: 9530/10000/Level 3;
"Guarded by Huiyuan Tang and Peiyuan Dan."
"There are bigu pills to earn white jade resources."
"Now the other courtyard is about to develop and expand, and the boundary of Dongling will become safer and safer."
"Just wait for me to give him three or four years of peace of mind, and I can make that old ghost Sun look good!"
He still remembers the danger of being struck by lightning.
With a thought, the black moon blade flashed out, and he habitually activated the soul nourishing spell to increase the spiritual power of the moon blade a little more.
"Humph! If you find an opportunity, you have to kill that old ghost and see if you say anything."
Just thinking about the future.
A muffled sound suddenly came from above the head.
Immediately afterwards, the earth shook and the mountains shook, with constant rumbling and shaking.
The solid chamber collapsed almost instantly under this wave of force.
Chen Mu's expression suddenly changed.
earthquake? !
Point to the ground and turn it into steel!
Seeing the rock and soil hitting the top of his head, it immediately softened into mud, and was then repelled and separated by invisible forces.
Chen Mu's whole body shone with aura, like a fish swimming in the water, jumping up to the ground quickly.
As soon as he looked up, he saw a large ball of green fire in the shape of a skeletal human head appearing on the horizon.
The fireball dragged a long tail of flames and reached the top of the mountain in an instant.
boom!
There was a roar that was louder than before.
Click.
There was a crisp sound like breaking sugar cane.
Chen Mu suddenly turned around and saw that the top of the mountain, which the eagle was worried about, began to slowly tilt and overturn? !
At that moment, his heart seemed to be gripped tightly.
"The mountain...is broken?!"
