Chapter 298 Getting Started
The lobby on the first floor of the inn.
Chen Mu sat in the corner drinking tea leisurely.
The ears are tied high, and the Truth Listening method works silently, collecting all kinds of gossip.
Next to him sat Lao Hao, who frowned and smoked, and Shang Huan, who was getting fatter.
"Four white jade coins per month, this is just accommodation, plus meals and training, at least nine white jade coins a month." Hao Lao complained with a bitter face.
"It's too expensive!"
Chen Mu sighed on the surface, and nodded with a bitter face, but he didn't care much in his heart.
Back in the Tongtianhe Lower Court, he spent as much as 90 white jades every month for training with the exquisite jade plate.
Now the jade seed is full of mana, as long as the consumption is not large, the exquisite jade plate is basically not used, and the cost is reduced immediately.
The cost of accommodation and meals was less than one-tenth of the original cost.
"Although I made a little profit in the land reclamation at Pongyue Mountain, I can't stand it."
"I heard that there are many scorpion boats in the Geng-shaped area that recruit people to unload the goods, and they also recruit people to board the boats to hunt and kill alien beasts in the water."
"Let's go and see?" Hao Lao smoked a cigarette and looked at Chen Mu.
Unloading for fishing?
That's it. With that time, it is better to ponder the secret technique of alchemy.
"Come on."
Without waiting for Chen Mu to refuse, Shang Huan retorted.
"I'll give you three or five white jade coins in January, enough for what." Shang Huan squeezed a roasted pine nut and threw it into his mouth.
"At least I can find some supplements and hold on for a while." Old Hao sighed.
"There are several old guys who plan to leave after the inn's one-month lease expires."
Shang Huan was startled: "Where are you going? To be a Ye Xiu?"
"It doesn't count." Hao Lao shook his head.
"Go outside and find a place with cheaper living costs and wait for a while, then come back every once in a while to see if Song Juyuan takes someone away, then follow along."
Shang Huan shook his head: "It's easy to leave, but it's hard to come back. If someone leaves and then comes back, Song Prisoner may not recognize it. Besides, what if the opportunity is missed."
"Isn't it impossible?" Old Hao spread his hands.
"You don't plan to do this too, do you?" Chen Mu couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know how long I'm going to stay here, it's going to cost..." Old Hao said with an embarrassed look, and shook his head before he finished speaking.
Chen Mu was stunned.
This kind of embarrassment is probably the normal state of the disciples of the lower court.
Most of the nearly 300 people who escaped this time were ordinary disciples of the lower court.
Their final way out is likely to be as Hao Lao said.
Chen Mu couldn't help thinking of Song Wuji's arrangement for his secret alchemy technique.
The other party seems certain to rebuild the lower house.
But in the end how long to wait here, Chen Mu can't guarantee.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally gave a vague reminder: "Although Song Prison only paid us one month's rent."
"But for those disciples who are enlightened and arrogantly cultivated, they are covered with food."
"If the future is uncertain and there is little hope, the prison will not spend this money."
"It's better to spend your savings and wait a while longer."
"If it's really not enough..." Chen Mu thought about his savings of more than 30,000 yuan, and looked at Lao Hao with awe: "You can borrow some from Shang Huan for a while."
Shang Huan: "..."
Why did you borrow it from me? !
You are not without money!
Shang Huan stared at Chen Mu.
"No, no, he's not rich either, I'll go to sleep on the street if it's a big deal." Old Hao sighed with a bitter face.
Shang Huan immediately rolled his eyes at Old Hao: "Don't pretend, can I really let you sleep on the street?"
"I'll take care of your food and lodging, this is the head office."
The bitterness on Old Hao's face disappeared, and he nodded with a smile: "Very good! Very good!"
"You did it on purpose?!" Shang Huan glared at Old Hao.
Immediately, he said unwillingly: "I can eat and cover, but you have to help me find some news."
"Let me help?" Old Hao didn't rush to answer, and looked at Shang Huan suspiciously: "I'm just like, how can you know the news, what can I ask you... eh? You want me to Looking for Xiao Mo?"
"Opposite!" Shang Huan laughed.
Now it was Hao Lao's turn to be suspicious: "You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
"Don't be afraid, it's a good thing." Shang Huan's small eyes cracked with laughter.
The corners of Chen Mu's mouth twitched slightly, watching the old fox and the little fox fight.
This fat man must be looking at something from Mo Wuzhou.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any good business in my hands." He also wanted to make white jade money.
"I heard that Senior Brother Mo has a strange prescription that can lure fish. It even has a certain effect on exotic fish with the blood of the demon." Shang Huan said with a smile: "Please ask me, see if you can Give it to me to sell."
Oh hoo!
This fat man was actually looking at drunk bait!
Chen Mu raised his brows.
This thing, it seems, does make money.
"I've inquired before that the Tianhe Shuifu only needs exotic beasts. The most important effect of the prescription is to trap trash fish, can it really sell for money?" Hao Lao didn't believe it.
"People in the Tianhe Water House naturally despise trash fish."
"But what about those wild Xiu." Shang Huan looked confident.
"In the Tongtianhe Lower Court back then, many people made a living by hunting trash fish."
"Just tell those wild fishermen about the effect of this special bait, do you think they will buy it?"
Definitely buy!
The corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched.
Just like a fisherman from a previous life. In order to buy fishing equipment and special bait, he fought wits with his wife.
but……
"Is it safe? Will it be coveted?"
"There will definitely be someone coveting it, so I'm going to find Senior Brother Mo." Shang Huan's fat face smiled like a flower.
"Just use the method of selling insect repellent incense last time. Hang up Senior Brother Mo's brand and give him dividends. Hehe..."
Chen Mu suddenly looked sideways.
It's an old trick, but it's really useful.
"I'm planning to spread the news quietly, and I'll just say that Liang Shaojian is behind this matter. Knowing that there is a master of Ningqiao in charge, who would trouble us for this bit of miscellaneous fish bait business?"
"Aren't you afraid that Liang Shaoyuan will trouble you?" This fat man is really bold.
"It's just another dividend." Shang Huan didn't care.
With Mo Wuzhou as the bridge, this might really have happened.
Chen Mu looked at Shang Huan with kindness in his eyes.
This is really a good boy... fat man!
Well, it would be better if it didn't mix with the mentality of cheating.
...
At night, on the third floor of the inn, in Chen Mu's room.
A lotus-shaped fluorescent algae lamp is placed in the middle of the square table, emitting a warm white light to the surroundings.
Chen Mu sat at the table, holding a jade slip in his hand to watch.
There is also a three-legged and two-eared alchemy furnace similar to black pottery at the right foot.
"Alchemy is really difficult."
Chen Mu put down the jade slip.
It introduces the control spells of the Hunyuan five gas alchemy furnace.
In addition to the extraction of the essence of Qi, and the Hunyuan method of condensing pills, it is only the most basic bigu pill, and you need to learn five magic symbols.
"Disaster!"
but……
"Earning is really earning."
He has been quietly inquiring these days.
One hundred catties of yellow bud rice can extract the essence of five grains.
A copy of the essence of five grains sells for two pieces of white jade, which is double the price of the raw material.
And a batch of five grain essence can be cultivated into forty to fifty bigu pills, and the price will rise to four to five white jade coins.
The price of the finished product is four to five times that of the raw material.
"If all of the 30,000-odd savings in my hand become Bigu Pill..." Chen Mu couldn't help laughing after a little calculation.
"You will have the money to buy the Condensation Secret Technique."
"And you can also earn Dao Gong."
Dao Gong represents the contribution value of the chicken cage road of the team.
Only after reaching the standard, can you be eligible to exchange the Condensation Secret Technique.
"Ten years, although not long, but not short." Chen Mu shook his head and sighed.
If it is a stable environment like the Tongtianhe Lower Court before.
Not to mention ten years, he can also wait twenty or fifty years.
But now the world is not as peaceful as the naked eye can see.
He desperately needs more strength to protect himself.
Ten years is a bit long.
"If you learn to refine Bigu Pill, you may be able to accumulate enough Dao Gong in five years in ten years." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.
"This alchemy secret method must be practiced no matter how difficult it is!" Chen Mu made up his mind.
He also provides proficiency with grey walls.
The most fearless thing is to practice secret magic spells.
Back then in Daliang, he practiced seven types of shape training in one breath.
"But there are only five secret techniques."
Chen Mu immediately put away the alchemy furnace, which was temporarily unavailable.
Taking out a palm-wide jade slip, Chen Mu began to look carefully at the Five-Yuan Qi-inducing Magic Talisman.
When the mana was input into the jade slip, a shiny new spell appeared in the jade seed.
With a thought, a brand new entry appeared on the gray wall as a matter of course.
Five-element breathing method: 1/10000/first order;
Just stay in the water house and have nothing to do.
Liver!
