Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 265 Master of Refining
"It's just some superficial skills, so it can't be called a master craftsman."

Chu Mu waved his hand. Even though he said that, the confidence and arrogance originating from his skills were faintly visible in his brows.

"Haha, fellow daoist, you are very humble."

Xie Nan smiled heartily, and within a few words, the relationship between the two strangers seemed to suddenly draw a lot closer.

"However, according to the regulations of this alliance, if a craftsman like you, Fellow Daoist, signs an employment contract with this alliance, there will be some extra treatment."

"Before, fellow daoist, you didn't show off your skills, and the disciples in the alliance were also negligent."

With that said, Xie Nan handed over a token.

"With this token, together with the employment contract order, in any square city under the jurisdiction of our alliance, the houses below grade A can live for free for an unlimited period of time."

"If fellow daoist is an artisan, you only need to bear [-]% of the loss of the artefacts for the alliance."

"In addition, fellow daoists will have a certain discount in exchange for treasures when they contribute to the treasury."

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, hesitating slightly.

Seeing this, Xie Nan explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, this is just some preferential treatment from the League for a person with extraordinary skills like you, Fellow Daoist, and there will be no other restrictions."

"Then Chu, it's disrespectful."

Chu Mu nodded and put away the token.

Immediately, Xie Nan was very open, and expressed his intention in a way that Chu Mu had never expected.

"According to the rules of the alliance and the family, for a casual cultivator with outstanding skills and extraordinary talents like you, as a foreign affairs elder, Xie has the responsibility to win over you."

"Take it as a routine, fellow daoist, don't be surprised!"

With that said, Xie Nan handed over two contracts.

"Fellow Daoist, take a look. If you don't want to, it's okay. It's just a routine anyway."

A strong man in the middle stage of foundation establishment, with such words and politeness, just to see, Chu Mu is naturally willing to give this face.

Chu Mu picked it up and flipped through it. There were two contracts, one was a guest contract, and the other was an alliance contract.

The guest's contract is a second-class guest, that is to say, once he signs this contract, he can directly surpass the third-class guest and become the second-class guest of the Zhengdao League!
The joining contract is even simpler.

Joining the Zhengdao League, he will directly cross the threshold of the Zhengdao League's outer alliance and enjoy the treatment of the Zhengdao League's inner alliance disciple.

The two contracts and various treatments are extremely generous.

Much more generous than those he had inquired about.

"Chu is used to being lazy and can't bear restraint."

After a cursory scan, Chu Mu put down the two contracts with a calm but firm voice.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's just a routine, it's okay."

As expected, Xie Nan didn't show any signs of change, his smile was still like a spring breeze.

After chatting for a while, Chu Mu didn't linger too long, and with Xie Nan's escort, he left the Contribution Hall and walked directly to the inn.

In the inn, he still has a business to do.

He still had some expectations for the first serious business in his career as a craftsman.

As soon as he returned to the inn, the man who had been waiting for him for a long time immediately greeted him.

"Senior, there is a senior surnamed Zhu who said he was looking for you, and he has been waiting in compartment A on the second floor for a while."

"Row."

Chu Mu nodded, and walked into a cubicle on the second floor under the guidance of the inn staff.

In the cubicle, Zhu Zhang had already taken his seat. Seeing Chu Mu appearing, he immediately got to the point after being courteous.

"Fellow Daoist, take a look at this Frost Stone, can it match my century-old cold iron?"

"The words of the Froststone..."

Chu Mu took it, observed it for a while, and nodded: "Yes, but how to refine it and how to match the spiritual materials depends on your requirements, fellow daoist."

"I'm ready, fellow daoist, take a look."

As soon as Chu Mu finished speaking, Zhu Zhang seemed to have been prepared, and immediately handed over a jade slip,

Chu Mu glanced at the urgent Zhu Zhang, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything, took the jade slip and checked it.

This is undoubtedly the first time in his career as a refiner.

Accept other people's refining orders, and even customize a high-grade spiritual weapon.

As for Zhu Zhang, he obviously had similar experiences, or was instructed by a craftsman. In the jade slips, various requirements for this high-grade spirit weapon shield were described very clearly.

The dozen or so requirements, including the attribute of his own skills, all clearly stated what kind of high-grade spiritual weapon shield he wanted.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Chu Mu put down the jade slips, waved his sleeves, and there was a blank sheet of paper in front of him. He dipped the pen into the ink and wrote straight down.

With the stroke of the pen, vigorous and powerful characters emerged one after another, and in the end, they were also combined into corresponding nouns for spiritual materials.

"This is the refining formula, take a look."

With a wave of Chu Mu's hand, the white paper floated in front of Zhu Zhang.

Immediately, with a flick of his sleeve, a simple projection device for the consciousness that he refined before fell on the table.

Moving with his consciousness, a light blue body with a shield bordered by hoarfrost was vividly projected in front of the two of them.

"According to this recipe, this is what the shield will look like in the end."

"The specific defense strength and the type of formation ban are up to you to decide..."

As he explained, he explained.

Chu Mu still attaches great importance to this first deal.

Cooperating with Xie Hui is an attempt.

And right now, it should be regarded as his deeper exploration of this attempt.

After all, he is different now than before.

In the past, you can basically buy anything you need to practice the Qi state in the market.

Today's foundation building environment is undoubtedly completely different.

He needs a new source of wealth.

Of course, this wealth does not only refer to spirit stones, but also refers to resources, which cannot be bought in the market.

And his current art of alchemy is obviously the same as that of alchemy in the past, and he bears this important task.

It's just that, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, in order to achieve this possibility, it seems that anonymity does not work, at least, if you want to act according to his plan, it will definitely not work.

Everything before, such as revealing his cultivation, revealing his crafting skills, revealing his puppet skills, he was all preparing for this.

The identity of a master craftsman is enough to save him a lot of trouble, and it can also bring him great benefits.

Just like Zhu Zhang in front of me, customizing a high-grade spiritual weapon shield, the price on the bright side is not small, but the price in the dark... is even greater!
Moreover, after this transaction is over, as long as there is no absolute conflict of interest, Zhu Zhang will obviously maintain the relationship with him, the master craftsman.

network, circle...

He didn't care about these things before.

But now that he is new to Foundation Establishment, he really needs to allocate some energy to pay attention.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Realm is different from the huge Qi Cultivation Realm group.

Judging from what he has seen and heard so far, this is a small circle. It is predictable that the higher the level of cultivation, the narrower this circle will be and the higher the threshold will be!
"If possible, it's the old rule, [-]% more main materials, and two copies of the other auxiliary materials."

"As for the refining cost, it's cheaper for fellow daoists to trade for the first time. Take the contract liaison order and contribute one thousand."

Chu Mu's voice was calm, and he looked at Zhu Zhang in front of him.

Although it was his first time accepting business, judging from the tasks on this contract liaison order, the price was very fair, even cheap.

After all, one thousand contribution points, according to the current exchange ratio, is only four to five thousand spirit stones. Of course, the exchange of contribution points and spirit stones is generally priceless.

"Okay, I'll prepare first, and then I'll contact you fellow daoist."

Zhu Zhang couldn't hide his joy, and directly transferred the [-] contribution points to Chu Mu's contract liaison order.

After speaking, Zhu Zhang picked up the refining formula and left in a hurry.

Chu Mu glanced at the extra thousand points of contribution on the contract contact order, and then looked at the projection still floating on the table, feeling a little pensive.

As a refiner, the benefits are indeed great.

In his extremely conservative situation, it was an income of [-] contribution points.

And this is only a fee on the surface, and... this fee should have a lot of room for growth.

And in the dark, with this shield formula, there is basically no possibility of him failing, and the extra spiritual materials must be in his pocket.

And these spiritual materials that can refine high-grade spiritual weapons are obviously impossible to be cheap things.

But what he has to consider is how to maximize this benefit and avoid possible troubles.

"Master of Artifact Refining..."

After a long time, Chu Mu took a deep breath, stretched his waist, and slowly hid the thoughts in his heart.

He walked out of the inn cubicle, out of the coverage of the partition restriction, and the hustle and bustle of the inn followed.

His sleeves moved slightly, and the token he had just obtained in the Hall of Contributions was suspended in his palm.

Staring for a moment, he looked out the window onto the street.

Today's Shuitianfang, as one of the few cities of Zhengdao League in Luofu County, has become an important transit hub for supplying Jingmen's frontline logistics.

Almost every day, an unknown amount of supplies are transported from various channels to Shuitianfang, and then from Shuitianfang to support the front line of Jingmen.

Every day, many immortal cultivators who have rested from the front line arrive at Shuitianfang and stop at Shuitianfang.

At the same time, due to the defeat of the Zhengdao League, Shuitianfang, strictly speaking, is also within the range of the Longevity Sect.

However, the war in the world of cultivating immortals is obviously different from the war in the secular world.

Just like the battle of Jingmen that has lasted for a long time, both sides fought tacitly on the battlefield of Jingmen. Although both sides will have various enemy rears to attack Fangshi, the mission of the mine will continue.

However, the main force of both sides did not have any schemes such as hiding the army secretly.

Yes, there are only upright duels.

After all, the real core of the war lies in the legendary existence of the two sides.

The fact that the war can continue to this day means that there is a superior existence, and they have never won or lost.

If there is no winner or loser, then a consensus must have been reached.

King against king, general against general, put on a formation, and fight head-to-head.

Unless the strategy of the army secretly plotting against Chen Cang can directly cause damage to the enemy's superior legend, otherwise, it is obviously of little significance.

Unless the tacit agreement is broken like before with the Hanhai Chen family's backstab, the balance of the war is completely tilted, and the situation is completely irreversible, otherwise, the battle of Jingmen will obviously continue for a long, long time.

As for Shuitianfang, during this period of time, there is danger, but it should not be in great danger.

"Stay here for now..."

A rough judgment surfaced in his mind, Chu Mu let out a long breath, raised his hand and turned it over, and at the same time that the token was stored in the storage ring, he stepped forward and walked out of the inn...
