Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 198 Seems Familiar
After pondering for a moment, sensing the woman's Qi training level seven, Chu Mu tentatively asked, "Can you replace it with a pill?"

Hearing this, the woman froze for a moment, then looked up at Chu Mu, seeming expectant, yet hesitant: "What elixir?"

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

The woman took a look and raised her head suddenly: "Are you an alchemist?"

Chu Mu was slightly startled, and immediately denied it: "No."

The woman asked: "Then do you know alchemists?"

After speaking, she seemed worried that Chu Mu would refuse, and the woman immediately said: "If you can help me contact the alchemist, this magic robe can be regarded as half price!"

Hearing this, Chu Mu immediately swallowed the words of refusal that came out of his mouth.

At half price, that's six hundred spirit stones!

If such a sum of Lingshi can be speculated, it is not impossible to change the principle.

Speaking of which, apart from being an alchemist himself, he really knew an alchemist.

However, the level may be a little low.

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

The woman couldn't hide her expectation, and even stood up: "Do you know him?"

Chu Mu didn't answer, looked at the woman in front of him, and asked, "Tell me why."

The woman hesitated, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said:
"I need to refine an ancient elixir, which belongs to the first-level top grade."

Chu Mu frowned. As an alchemist, although he didn't have much experience, he naturally knew the basics.

However, as long as the word "ancient" is attached to the Danfang, it must represent rareness.

In the ancient times, there was a lot of aura and countless treasures of heaven and earth, but in the current era, according to the world of cultivating immortals, there is a lack of resources.

It is doubtful whether the elixir needed in the first-order high-grade pill formula of that era still exists today.

But if the woman in front of me has collected all the elixir needed for the ancient alchemy formula, then...

Benefits touch people's hearts, and Chu Mu seems a little moved.

The woman asked urgently: "Can the alchemist you know be able to make alchemy?"

Chu Mu organized his words, and said slowly: "The ancient alchemy formula is different from the current alchemy way. For any alchemist, a new alchemy formula may be difficult to successfully refine without a certain amount of experience accumulation."

Immediately, Chu Mu asked tentatively, "How many elixirs have you prepared?"

The woman didn't answer any more, but asked back: "Are you an alchemist?"

Chu Mu didn't answer.

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

"can."

Chu Mu made the oath without any hesitation.

Immediately, it was no longer a verbal conversation, but a sound transmission of spiritual consciousness.

The female voice transmission: "Five elixir, can you refine it?"

"Five..."

Chu Mu frowned, unable to hide his surprise.

The main ingredients of the ancient first-class top-grade pills are at least hundreds of years old.

Is this something that a casual practitioner of the seventh level of Qi training can touch?
What kind of chance is this?

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

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

"I only take one batch of finished pills."

Chu Mu's heart trembled, what bottom line, what principle, under such interests, they all gave in accordingly!
A robe, [-] spirit stones.

Five furnaces of elixir, hundreds of years old elixir, even treasures that cannot be bought with spirit stones!
If he succeeds in one refinement, he will save four furnaces of elixir...

Chu Mu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said slowly, "I need to look at the pill formula."

Without hesitation, the woman handed over a jade slip directly.

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

The familiar texture spread into his heart through the palm of his hand, Chu Mu forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and his spiritual sense penetrated into the jade slip.

Soul Cleansing Pill!
As soon as the consciousness entered, the three simple and simple characters came into my mind clearly.

Immediately, the pill formula was formed, and the medicinal effects of the pill appeared accordingly.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Chu Mu slowly put down the jade slip, only shock remained in his eyes.

The ancient alchemy formula... bold!
He can only use these two words to describe it.

It's hard to imagine that a 500-year-old main medicine, two 300-year-old supplementary medicines, and ten elixir plants ranging from 50 to 200 years old are just for refining a mere first-order low-grade pill.

How old is the main medicine of the Yangmai Pill that can be used by Qi-Cultivation Realm monks to practice to the late stage of Qi-Cultivation?

The foundation building pill is well-known in the world of cultivating immortals, and it is hard to find a pill. Its raw materials are composed, and the most precious one is just a hundreds of years old elixir.

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

Chu Mu didn't answer, and looked at the jade slip in his hand, silently thinking about gains and losses.

In the end, under the eager eyes of the woman, he said slowly: "If it is true as you said, there are five elixir, you can try it."

The woman urgently asked, "That is to say, are you sure?"

Chu Mu nodded: "Half a year."

The woman seemed to be relieved: "Then I will trouble you, fellow daoist, but you need to make an oath of Dao heart and sign a soul contract, fellow daoist."

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

Chu Mu glanced at it, the contract was very reasonable, it only limited the final result, and normal vigilance was maintained to prevent malicious intentions from both parties, and to keep both parties secret.

But this soul contract is different from what he knows?

Seemingly aware of Chu Mu's doubts, the woman explained: "This is the second-level soul contract, and the foundation-building state cannot be solved!"

Chu Mu glanced at the woman, slightly surprised.

The second-order soul contract is not cheap!
Such a elixir, such an elixir, and such a second-level soul bond, what is this woman's background?
As 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, he wants to fake it, unless he can go against his own heart.

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

The soul contract was signed, and in accordance with the soul contract, both parties made vows of Taoism.

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

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

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

"Correct."

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 heart again.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Mu finally did not refuse.

Immediately, Chu Mu picked up the high-grade robes that had been placed aside, and then walked towards the outside of Fangshi.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang put away the items on the booth, followed Chu Mu, and the two walked side by side, and finally left the Jade Emperor Black Market.

Entering the black market alone, when he came out again, there was already one more person with him.

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

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

Those almost priceless rare elixir, and the robe of this high-grade magic weapon.

In comparison, the net worth he has accumulated seems a bit insignificant.

In this way, 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...

It's just that this time, Chu Mu didn't have the opportunity to witness it. After leaving the black market and approaching the Jade Emperor City, the whole journey... was peaceful.

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

Zhao Shuang followed behind, seemingly turning a blind eye.

"If anyone asks, you say they are my relatives."

"Also, the city is full of fish and dragons, and the situation is tense now, so don't cause trouble for me."

"If you get into trouble, you can solve it yourself. Our deal is only limited to pills."

Chu Mu stopped, 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 didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the town.

The neighbors in the neighborhood are already familiar, so they have to ask, Chu Mu dealt with it, and then went outside the door.

Pushing open the door and entering, the eyes are empty.

Although the storage talisman is expensive and has a time limit, whether he lives in Fangshi or in this town, he basically always carries all his belongings with him.

In this way, he is not worried about being prying into some secrets.

However, with one more person in the family, the previous lifestyle had to be changed.

The house he rented was not small. Apart from the main entrance lobby where he lived for a long time, there were three rooms of different sizes.

"The two rooms are up to you."

"This room is not allowed to enter without my permission."

"Other than that, it's up to you."

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

The carry-on miniature partition prohibition is also laid accordingly to build a hidden space.

Zhao Shuang stood in the room, watching Chu Mu enter the room, until the door was closed, and then looked at the clean room in front of him.

The room was spotless with no signs of life.

This also had a lot to do with Chu Mu's caution. Every time he went out, he would habitually clean up the room, eliminating any traces of him in the room to the greatest extent possible, and avoiding clues remaining.

Zhao Shuang looked around, and in the end, he also walked into the room on the other side. After the door was closed, there was no movement.
