Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 197 Price Fluctuations
"Sun Daoyou."

Chu Mu stepped forward.

"Didn't you ask me to pay attention to the elixirs in the pavilion before? Today, a batch of elixir for body training has just arrived, and I left some of them for you."

As he spoke, Sun Tao handed out several jade bottles.

"There are three types in total, two bottles of each."

"Row."

After taking the jade bottle, Chu Mu took out a bag of Lingshi and handed it over.

"Not so much."

Sun Tao grabbed a handful of spirit stones and handed them over again.

"If the internal disciples of the sect buy it, the price will be cheaper."

"By the way, my sect's founding ceremony is just a matter of these few months. Fellow Daoist Chu, your talent for spells is extraordinary, do you want to try it?"

"My spiritual root aptitude, it's useless to go."

"Where will it be? Fellow Daoist, I told you that aptitude is only one aspect, and those who have special talents in other areas, aptitude has never been a problem."

"Just look at me, I'm also a pseudo-spiritual root aptitude, isn't it easy to become a disciple of the sect?"

"It's better to have a backer behind you than to work alone outside."

Chu Mu was unmoved, and looked at the towering city wall in front of him: "I am used to being free and unrestricted."

Immediately, Chu Mu changed the subject and asked tentatively, "By the way, the Jade Emperor Valley has turned into what it is now... Is there any inside information?"

"I'm a little outer disciple, so I don't know any inside information."

Sun Tao shook his head and smiled: "Besides, this matter is all clear!"

"Looking at the history of our sect, since our sect master Li took office more than 300 years ago, the relationship between the sect and the family has taken a sharp turn for the worse."

"The opening ceremonies over the years, the internal promotion of the sect, and the distribution of resources have all imposed restrictions on the family's children..."

"However, this is a good thing for us helpless monks."

"I heard from my master before that before, the sect was almost completely dominated by the children of powerful families, who had no one to rely on, so they were wasted and oppressed in the sect..."

"With the rise of Sect Master Li and drastic reforms, we have a way out..."

"The current situation, this is also the most important reason why I persuade fellow Taoist to join my sect."

"The current Longevity Sect is the only way out for us helpless monks."

"Even if there is chaos in the future, it is much better to fight for yourself than to be forcibly arrested and forced to die."

Chu Mu remained silent, but finally shook his head with some uncertainty: "Let's see, there's no rush."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, think about it as soon as possible."

"During this period of time, I always feel that the wind direction inside the sect is getting more and more wrong."

Sun Tao seemed to be a little more worried, but in the end, he didn't say any more, said a few words, and then turned around and walked over.

Chu Mu looked at the sky, a piece of blue as fine as thin, and looked around, the stretch of mountains was hard to see clearly, only the towering city wall blocked all vision.

"A troubled autumn..."

Chu Mu sighed softly, walking aimlessly in the city.

The valley turned into a city, and everything in the past seemed to have changed.

Chu Mu looked for familiar places, but apart from some signboard names, everything he saw seemed unfamiliar.

Only in the housing area such as Zhiding, it seems that a little familiar trace can be found.

The former two-storey attic still stood tall. He turned into Li Gang's attic, the door was closed, and the traces on the door also proved that the attic had already been occupied.

Walking the streets and alleys, finally, stopped in front of an attic again.

The restraining token appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand to wipe it. The moment the door opened, excited roars came from the room.

Wangcai is still strong, and his eyes seem to be a little more agile under the feeding elixir he bought occasionally.

Throwing out a feeding elixir, Chu Mu stroked Wangcai's head gently, with a thoughtful brow.

In the end, Chu Mu suppressed his thoughts.

Both the sect and the family are giants, and the struggle between the two is a terrifying whirlpool.

It's too late for ordinary people to stay away, so why should he get involved.

The most important thing is that even if he joined the Changsheng sect, he was only a low-level disciple.

If he wants to get enough resource knowledge, he has to show enough value to be valued.

With the existence of Linghui, he can show this value.

But is this not a kind of cusp?

It would be foolish to place yourself on the cusp of such a storm!

If you don't show value, but you are only a low-level disciple, then you are pure cannon fodder. In this situation, it is also stupid to send it to your door as cannon fodder!
"Big deal, get out!"

Chu Mu pursed his lips, feeling free and easy in his heart, the world is so big, he doesn't have to stick to this Jade Emperor Valley, if the situation is not right, he just run away.

It's not impossible to practice in the barren mountains and fields, if it's really not possible, you'll just hang out on the black market in the future.

It's not like he can't adapt to the law of the jungle.

Bullshit corvee forced to recruit, he doesn't even live here, how can he be recruited?

"Brother Mu!"

While thinking, the door opened, and a slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

"Lingtian is moving today, the manager let us rest for a day."

Chu Mu was puzzled: "Where will you move to?"

"It is said that part of the spiritual fields will be moved to the city first."

"Brother Mu, you probably don't know that the northern part of the city has been designated as a spiritual planting area. From now on, spiritual plants will be planted in the city. It is said that it is safer this way, so as not to be destroyed by evil cultivators!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Yuan asked curiously: "Brother Mu, have you ever met an evil cultivator outside the city?"

Chu Mu frowned, and asked back: "You know, what is an evil cultivator?"

"Wanted by the law enforcement team, just like we were in Nanshan Town back then, those who are wanted are for heinous crimes..."

Chu Mu didn't answer, and after pondering for a while, he handed over a storage talisman.

"There are some spirit stones and some pills inside."

"If you are recent, improve your cultivation as soon as possible..."

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Brother Mu, you are worried..."

Chu Mu nodded, and then expressed his worries.

"Then why don't I move out too, if something happens, I can do my part."

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."

Chu Mu didn't make too many arrangements, he had already entered the fairyland, and he didn't want to interfere too much with Xu Yuan's choice.

After all, the road...is walked by oneself after all, pushed and helped by others, it will not go long after all.

Walking around in Fangshi, an obvious fact seems to be very clear.

The prices of talisman seals, magic tools, and even medicines and spiritual materials are obviously a little more expensive than before.

And considering the location of the Jade Emperor City, as well as the traffic conditions and price fluctuations in the world of cultivating immortals, it is obviously unlikely to be a change in the Jade Emperor City.

It must be the influence of a large area that will lead to price fluctuations.

Talismans, magic tools, pills, and spiritual materials are the daily needs of a single immortal cultivator.

For a force, it is undoubtedly a strategic reserve.

"I made a small fortune."

Sensing the various spiritual materials accumulated in the storage talisman, Chu Mu was also a little speechless.

In the Jade Emperor Black Market back then, in order to increase his knowledge base, he bought a large number of various spiritual materials, and prepared to do research experiments with the knowledge system of refining weapons.

Up to now, it has not started to consume.

The price has soared, and now if you sell it at the market price, you will earn [-]-[-]% at least.

It's a profit of a few hundred spirit stones casually.

"The price will go up!"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu came to a conclusion.

The situation is tense, and everything is reserved for all parties.

With the current situation, if the price rises, it will inevitably attract attention and deepen the worries of ordinary cultivators.

After that, many immortal cultivators would go to the doctor in a hurry.

The price will inevitably soar rapidly under the rush of medical treatment.

After that, when money is touching people's hearts, there will be forces to participate in it, drive up prices, and prepare to make a fortune.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the situation does not ease, or the Longevity Sect steps in to suppress prices, it may be difficult to bring down the soaring prices.

But will the Longevity Sect come forward to suppress prices?

At present, the shops, industries, and even the source mines and Lingtian in Fangshi City, which one is not related to the Longevity Sect?
Even if Changshengzong wants to do it, those with vested interests in the Changshengzong system will not be willing to do so.

And those who rule the Jade Emperor Valley are obviously interested groups.

As his thoughts flowed, Chu Mu resolutely left Fangshi and went straight to the nearest Jade Emperor Black Market.

Although he didn't intend to take this opportunity to make a fortune, he needed a large amount of spiritual materials to support him in learning the art of refining.

Only by being prepared is there no danger, and the price will soar in the future, which is the real disaster.

Fortunately, he noticed it in time. The prices in the black market were already cheaper than those in the square market. The prices fluctuated, but they didn't exceed too much.

After sweeping the goods, thousands of ghosts were sprinkled on the black market.

When the net worth appeared, it immediately shrunk by more than half.

A spiritual material full of a storage talisman is a harvest.

"Ok?"

When he was about to leave the black market, Chu Mu immediately stopped in his tracks when he caught a glimpse of a new stall out of the corner of his eye.

There are very few items in the booth, like a book, a few bottles and cans, and the most conspicuous thing is a blue robe hanging above the booth.

Chu Mu's eyes suddenly brightened. Defensive magic weapons are not uncommon in the square market, and the black market is not uncommon, but what he has encountered so far are all active defense magic weapons such as shields and banners.

There are very few passive defensive instruments such as magic robes, and even if there are, most of them are low-level existences, which are of little use to him at present.

And the magic robe in front of him, the aura on it fluctuates... a top-grade magic weapon!
"What is the price of this robe?"

Chu Mu stepped forward and asked aloud.

"One thousand two hundred spirits, the same price!"

The stall owner was a young woman with a young face, but her eyes were extremely determined.

The woman looked up at Chu Mu, and said in a cold voice.

Chu Mu frowned. This price is not reasonable, and the price of ordinary top-quality offensive magic weapons is basically within this range.

However, magic robes, which are active defense instruments, have always been rare.

Things are rare.

All prices are very reasonable.

However, at this price, after he spent more than a thousand spirit stones to purchase all kinds of spirit materials, the existing spirit stones are obviously not enough...
