Longevity starts with learning

"The entrance fee is one low-grade spirit stone."

Just as I stepped into the market, before I could see the situation clearly, the voice rang in my ears.

His tense body relaxed a little, and Chu Mu casually took out a spirit stone. When he was about to hand it over, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly froze.

The one who spoke was not a human, but a puppet?

Chu Mu looked at the puppet in front of him, which was at least half a meter taller than him, and seemed a little confused.

The puppet was in human form, with iron armor all over its body, and patterns flashing. It wore a black iron helmet, and the palm it stretched out seemed to be some kind of metal arm.

Under the perception of the divine sense, it was also lifeless, only the terrifying spiritual light was faintly revealed, and the breath of perfect Qi training was very clear.

A human-shaped puppet with peak Qi training power!

Chu Mu tentatively handed the spirit stone to the puppet's hand, and saw that the puppet's palm suddenly opened a small hole and swallowed the spirit stone.

In the perception of the divine consciousness, there seemed to be a wave flashing through the puppet's arm. This wave was exactly the same as the wave that the guy measured spiritual energy in Xuezhi Pavilion.

Then, the puppet stretched out his other arm, and a black ring appeared in his hand.

"If you hold this ring, you can stay in the market for twelve hours. If you exceed the time, you need to pay another spirit stone. If you violate the time, you will be expelled."

"To rent a stall, you need three spirit stones, and you can hold the stall for twenty-four hours."

"Fighting is strictly prohibited in the market. If you violate it, your soul will be drawn to light the lamp."

The voice came from the puppet's head. The voice was mechanical and cold, and it seemed to be no different from the robots in the science fiction movies in his previous life.

Chu Mu took the ring and said nothing. With the inheritance of puppetry, even if he couldn't understand it, he still had a certain understanding.

The puppet in front of him must be running according to a certain set program. As long as it did not violate the rules of its program, there would be no threat at all.

However, does this puppet guarding the gate mean that the black market will have the basic knowledge of refining that he needs?

Chu Mu's heart was pounding. He looked at the puppet in front of him for a few times, and then he looked at the market in front of him. It was not the valley he had expected, but a huge cave with bright lights.

The cave was at least as big as a stadium in his previous life. The hollowed-out stone wall dome was inlaid with dense fluorescent stones. Looking around, it looked like a bright starry sky.

Under the starry sky, there were circles of wooden houses surrounding the cave in a circle. The houses were not as gorgeous and exquisite as those in the Jade Emperor Valley Market. They looked like a few random wooden boards put together.

Obviously, these houses were probably the stalls mentioned by the puppet.

Subconsciously, Chu Mu silently calculated in his mind that hundreds of houses meant hundreds of stalls, and the rent for each stall was three spirit stones.

The right to hold for twenty-four hours was two days.

Two days means thousands of spirit stones, plus one spirit stone for the market entry fee...

Chu Mu pursed his lips, and his eyes towards the black market seemed to be more enthusiastic.

With a step forward, Chu Mu stepped into the hustle and bustle of the black market.

There are many immortal cultivators in the black market. On the streets around, in front of almost every stall, you can see immortal cultivators staying, asking questions, bargaining, or even arguing and scolding each other.

However, all the noise seems to be limited to a certain range. On the streets around, every distance, you can see a human-shaped puppet that looks like a sculpture.

The power fluctuations without any concealment seem to clearly tell all immortal cultivators that their combat power is at the peak of Qi training.

Walking slowly along the stalls, the dazzling array of various items seems to make Chu Mu feel like he has opened his eyes.

The strict rules of Yuhuang Valley exist, but they obviously do not exist in the Fengming Lake black market.

Although the prices are generally high, there is no limit. Once the price is agreed upon, both the money and the goods are settled.

For example, he saw a complete set of 13 levels of the Fiery Decision technique he practiced at a stall, and the price was 120 spirit stones, which was even cheaper than the price of buying each level at the Learning Knowledge Pavilion, and it was a complete set!

For example, spells can be seen everywhere at these stalls, and most of them sell related basic knowledge in packages.

Spiritual medicines, minerals, and magic tools are also very common.

Chu Mu stopped and looked at a book on the stall in front of him. The title of the book... The Basics of Refining!

The name is very ordinary, but very extraordinary!

What is he missing?

He has no lack of foundation in alchemy. He has already completed the foundation in the secular world. As long as he has enough resources, he can transform the secular knowledge of people and medicine into the alchemy of the immortal world.

As for puppet inheritance, he lacks the foundation!

Puppetry is a branch based on the evolution of refining.

This means that if he wants to study puppetry, he must first have a certain understanding of weapon refining.

And weapon refining includes too much knowledge, including mineral materials, weapon patterns, array patterns, smelting...

The most important reason why he wasted time at Li Ji Mineral Materials was that he wanted to complete this basic knowledge bit by bit.

Then he tried to get in touch with puppetry.

How could his bit by bit completion compare to a complete book of weapon refining basics?

It is no exaggeration to say that if he was given a book of weapon refining basics, most of his missing knowledge puzzles would be completed in an instant, which means that he has half a foot in the door of puppetry!

"How many spirit stones are there for this book of weapon refining basics?"

"No bargaining, one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and you must swear not to leak it!"

The man in gray robe behind the stall raised his head and glanced at Chu Mu. After speaking, he seemed to think that Chu Mu had the financial resources, and added: "You can go to the Libra Pavilion to verify the authenticity."

Libra Pavilion?

Chu Mu silently remembered the name in his mind, then shook his head and turned away without answering.

A thousand low-grade spiritual stones...

He himself is still short of 800 pieces...

Although puppetry is important, the most important thing right now is the release of Bigu Pill.

Only by opening up financial resources can one's cultivation level be steadily improved, and only then can there be hope for the path to immortality.

Although he was eager, Chu Mu still knew the importance.

After wandering around the market, Chu Mu also had a general understanding of the black market in Fengming Mountain.

This Fengming Mountain black market is different from the monopoly and exclusive trading market in Yuhuang Valley, but a free trading market. This freedom means that there are no restrictions on you in the market. As long as it exists, you can buy and sell.

Of course, freedom exists within the city, but outside the city, it seems to be even more wanton.

The sales are guaranteed, but after entering the Fengming Mountain black market, there is no guarantee at all. Whether you can keep the income earned in the black market depends on your ability.

As for the Libra Pavilion I just heard about, it is an organization similar to appraisal and guarantee. If buyers and sellers are not sure whether the items they buy or sell are genuine or fake, they can go to Libra Pavilion for appraisal, and Libra Pavilion will charge a percentage based on the transaction value. one of the handling fees.

Of course, if something goes wrong with the item after the appraisal, Libra Pavilion will guarantee compensation.

A completely free trading market naturally involves a wide variety of commodity transactions.

After just one turn, Chu Mu discovered that what he wanted, whether it was alchemy or the basic knowledge required for puppetry, was all available on the black market in Fengming Valley.

He even saw a top-grade magic weapon-level alchemy furnace for sale!

This means that as long as he has enough spirit stones, this black market can get him everything he wants and solve all his current worries.

"Spiritual stone..."

Chu Mu pursed his lips, and two inheritances emerged in his mind.

One alchemy, one puppet.

Once you receive favor from others, it is picked up in vain.

If he wants to sell, how should he sell it and which one should he sell?

Chu Mu silently analyzed that, in fact, selling the alchemy inheritance left by Mr. Li was the most cost-effective.

After all, the knowledge of alchemy inheritance is relatively superficial. Bigu Pill is also the most basic elixir recipe in the world of immortality. In this black market, it is really not very eye-catching.

Puppetry is different. Even compared to the system of puppetry, the inheritance of puppetry in his mind is only the basic knowledge of the puppetry system.

But this foundation is different from the foundation of alchemy, but the basic knowledge of advanced!

If he takes it out, even in this black market, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Moreover, the person in charge of this black market, judging from this puppet, is obviously a master of puppetry. Will he attract attention if he uses puppetry?

Not to mention, the puppetry technique he acquired seems to be related to the mystery of East Lake. If he sells it, will it attract the attention of higher-level people?

But the knowledge of alchemy comes from people's favor after all. If he sells it, how can he be worthy of Mr. Li's sincere teachings?

If he does not choose to sell alchemy, but sells the related knowledge of puppetry, the price, no matter what he expected, seems to be beyond what he can afford now.

Chu Mu looked around the market in front of him, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Morality and reality seem to collide again.

…

More eight thousand.
