Longevity starts with learning

After a moment of hesitation, sensing the woman's seventh-level Qi training, Chu Mu asked tentatively: "Can I exchange it with a pill?"

Hearing this, the woman was stunned, looked up at Chu Mu, as if expecting, but also hesitant: "What pill?"

Chu Mu took out a bottle of Yangmai Dan and handed it over: "Yangmai Dan!"

The woman took it and looked up suddenly: "Are you an alchemist?"

Chu Mu was slightly stunned, and then immediately denied: "No."

The woman asked: "Then do you know an alchemist?"

After the voice, as if worried that Chu Mu would refuse, the woman immediately said: "If you can help me contact an alchemist, this robe can be half the price for you!"

Hearing this, Chu Mu swallowed back the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth.

Half the price is 600 spirit stones!

For such a sum of spirit stones, if the words can be speculated, it is not impossible to change the principle.

Speaking of which, in addition to being an alchemist himself, he really knows an alchemist.

It's just that the level may be a little low.

After all, as far as he knew, in Huichun Pavilion, Sun Tao, a disciple of Changsheng Sect, seemed to be able to only refine the Bigu Pill, and the success rate was not high.

The woman could not hide her expectation and even stood up: "Do you know him?"

Chu Mu did not answer, but looked at the woman in front of him and asked: "Tell me the reason."

The woman hesitated, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I need to refine an ancient elixir, which is a first-class top-grade."

Chu Mu frowned. Although he was an alchemist and did not have much experience, he naturally knew the basic common sense.

Any pill recipe, as long as it was touched with the word "ancient", must represent rarity.

In ancient times, the spiritual energy was rich and there were countless natural treasures, but in this era, according to the saying of the immortal world, it was a scarce resource.

The spiritual medicines needed in the first-class top-grade pill recipe of that era, whether they still exist today is a question.

But if the woman in front of him collected all the spiritual medicines needed for the ancient pill recipe, then...

The benefits moved people's hearts, and Chu Mu seemed to be somewhat tempted.

The woman asked urgently, "Can the alchemist you know make it?"

Chu Mu organized his words and spoke slowly, "Ancient recipes are different from the current alchemy. For any alchemist, a new recipe is difficult to make successfully without a certain amount of experience."

Then, Chu Mu asked tentatively, "How many spiritual medicines have you prepared?"

The woman did not answer again, but asked back, "Are you an alchemist?"

Chu Mu did not answer.

The woman was a little stubborn: "You need to make a vow of Taoism."

"Okay."

Chu Mu made a vow without any hesitation.

Then, it was no longer a verbal conversation, but a telepathic communication.

The woman transmitted: "Five spiritual medicines, can you make them?"

"Five..."

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, unable to hide his surprise.

Ancient first-level high-quality recipes, the main medicines are at least hundreds of years old.

Is this something that a casual cultivator of the seventh level of Qi training can get in touch with?

What kind of heaven-defying opportunity is this?

Chu Mu asked: "If the refining is successful, what will the reward be?"

The woman pointed to the robe: "This robe is given to you."

"I will only take one furnace of the finished pill."

Chu Mu's heart trembled. What bottom line, what principle, under such interests, all gave in!

One robe, 1,200 spirit stones.

Five furnaces of spirit medicine, hundreds of years of spirit medicine, that is a treasure that cannot be bought with spirit stones!

If he succeeds in refining it once, he can save four furnaces of spirit medicine...

Chu Mu took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said slowly word by word: "I need to see the pill formula."

The woman handed over a jade slip without hesitation.

The jade slip was in front of him. Chu Mu took the arm of the jade slip, but at this moment, he trembled unconsciously.

The familiar texture was transmitted to his heart through his palm. Chu Mu suppressed the unrest in his heart and probed into the jade slip with his consciousness.

Soul Cleansing Pill!

As soon as the consciousness entered, three ancient characters appeared clearly in his mind.

Then, the composition of the pill formula and the efficacy of the pill were all presented.

After about a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu slowly put down the jade slip, with only shock in his eyes.

The ancient pill formula... arrogant!

He could only describe it with these two words.

It was hard to imagine that a main medicine with a five-hundred-year-old age, two auxiliary medicines with a three-hundred-year-old age, and ten spiritual medicines ranging from fifty to two hundred years old were just for refining a mere first-grade low-grade pill.

How many years of age is the main medicine of the Yangmai Pill that can be used by Qi training cultivators to practice to the late Qi training stage?

The most precious raw material composition of the foundation-building pill, which is famous in the world of cultivation and hard to find, is just a spiritual medicine with a few hundred years of age.

The woman asked urgently: "How is it, can it be refined?"

Chu Mu did not answer, looking at the jade slip in his hand, silently thinking about the gains and losses.

Finally, under the woman's anxious eyes, he slowly said: "If it is true as you said, there are five spiritual medicines, you can give it a try."

The woman said anxiously: "In other words, you are sure?"

Chu Mu nodded: "Half a year."

The woman seemed relieved: "Then I'll trouble you, but you need to swear a Taoist oath and sign a soul contract."

Then, the woman took out a soul contract, the handwriting on it appeared, and finally appeared in front of Chu Mu.

Chu Mu took a look and saw that the contract was very reasonable. It only limited the final result. He had to be vigilant to prevent malicious intentions from both parties and keep both parties confidential.

But this soul contract seems to be different from what he knows?

Seemingly aware of Chu Mu's doubts, the woman explained: "This is the contract of the second-level soul, which cannot be broken even in the foundation-building realm!"

Chu Mu glanced at the woman, slightly surprised.

The second-level divine soul contract is not cheap!

Such an elixir, such a magical elixir, and such a second-level soul bond, what is the origin of this woman?

As his thoughts flowed, Chu Mu's consciousness moved slightly, and his real name appeared on the soul contract... Chu Mu!

The contract comes from the soul, and he wants to fake it unless he can violate his own heart.

The woman took the contract, and the word Zhao Shuang appeared on it.

The divine soul contract was signed, and according to this divine soul contract, both parties made an oath of Taoism.

The vigilance in Zhao Shuang's eyes was reduced a lot: "I will follow you for the next six months. When the elixir is refined, our deal will end."

With that said, Zhao Shuang also handed over a storage charm.

Chu Mu was surprised: "Are you following me?"

"right."

Zhao Shuang nodded.

Chu Mu was silent for a while and glanced at the jade slip in his hand. The familiar texture came to his mind again.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Mu finally refused.

Immediately, Chu Mu picked up the high-grade robe placed aside and walked towards the outside of Fang City.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang put away the items on the stall and followed Chu Mu. The two walked side by side and finally left the Jade Emperor's black market.

He entered the black market alone, and when he came out again, there was one more person accompanying him.

Zhao Shuang's cultivation level is not high, but he is definitely not a weak person.

This can be easily seen from the things Zhao Shuang took out.

Those rare elixirs that are almost priceless, as well as the robes of this top-grade magic weapon.

In comparison, the wealth he accumulated seemed a bit insignificant.

In this case, how could there not be some powerful means.

Chu Mu even guessed that this woman might have disguised her cultivation and appearance like him.

Moreover, this jade slip...

However, this time, Chu Mu did not have the opportunity to witness it. From the black market to the outside of the Jade Emperor City, the whole journey... was calm.

Outside Yuning Town, Chu Mu had changed his appearance again.

Zhao Shuang followed behind, seemingly turning a blind eye.

"If anyone asks, just say you are a relative of mine."

"Also, the city is a mixed bag, and the situation is tense now. Don't cause trouble for me."

"If you cause trouble, you can solve it yourself. Our deal is limited to elixirs."

Chu Mu stopped and turned to look at Zhao Shuang. His voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm.

Zhao Shuang nodded and remained silent.

Seeing this, Chu Mu said nothing and turned towards the town.

The neighbors were already familiar with each other, so they had to ask some questions. After Chu Mu dealt with them, he went outside the door.

When you push the door open, you will see emptiness.

Although the storage talisman is valuable and time-limited, whether he lives in Fang City or in this town, he basically carries all his belongings with him at all times.

In this way, he didn't worry about being pried into any secrets.

However, with one more person in the family, the previous lifestyle has to change.

The house he rented was not small. In addition to the main entrance hall where he lived for a long time, there were three rooms of different sizes.

"Those two rooms are up to you."

"You are not allowed to enter this room without my permission."

"Other than that, whatever you want."

After a few words, Chu Mu walked directly into the room on one side that had been vacant for a long time.

The portable micro-partition restrictions are also laid out to create a hidden space.

Zhao Shuang stood in the room and watched Chu Mu walk into the room. He didn't look at the clean room in front of him until the door was closed.

The room was spotless, with no sign of life.

This is also closely related to Chu Mu's caution. Every time he goes out, he habitually cleans the room to eliminate any traces of him in the room to the maximum extent and avoid leaving any clues.

Zhao Shuang looked around and finally walked into the room on the other side. The door was closed and there was no movement.
