Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 371 Interests involved
It was late at night, and monks began to walk out of the brightly lit Baibao Pavilion. The exchange meeting, which lasted for most of the day, came to an end.

The monks left and the maids retreated. Only Chu Mu and the girl were left in the hall.

Chu Mu was still drinking leisurely by himself. The spirit wine from Baibao Pavilion was quite to his liking. It was hot in the mouth and burned like fire when it entered his throat. When it exploded in his belly, the heat swept over him. In the blink of an eye, it turned into warmth that swept over his whole body. meaning.

"Yue'er, bring me another pot of wine."

When another bottle of wine was poured, the girl put down the bottle, looked out the door and called out.

"no need."

Chu Mu raised his hand to stop him.

The girl was slightly taken aback.

Chu Mu stood up and ordered again:
"I have to ask the girl in red to arrange what happened just now."

After speaking, Chu Mu took out a sound transmission token and handed it to the girl.

After the girl received the transmission order, Chu Mu waved his hand and walked out the door.

In this exchange meeting, he undoubtedly got what he wanted.

An exchange meeting that was supposed to be for Baobao Pavilion to maintain connections had almost become his home court.

The people you should get to know have already been met.

The bait that should be thrown out has also been thrown out.

The authority that should be established has already been established...

Next, follow the steps and there should be no big problem.

In the red glow of the night, the lights are bright, and the continuous light rises and falls with the height of the house and the mountain. It is almost a dream-like bustling and bustling. Even though he is already very knowledgeable, he is always quite shocked.

He stared blankly for a moment, then turned to look at the Baibao Pavilion. In the dim light, the girl stopped in front of the door, her skirt swaying in the wind, like a beautiful flower shining on the water, or a weak willow supporting the wind.

Their eyes met for just a moment before Chu Mu waved his hand and took a step forward. Wangcai followed closely behind, wagging his tail.

As Chu Mu drank to himself, the dog also drank a lot of spiritual wine, and he was obviously a little drunk. Just like the secular dog he once was, he was running around in the street wagging his tail and having fun. This caused the monks on the street to retreat and dodge.

When he returned to the cave, the sky was already turning white, and Chu Mu fell down to sleep. Ten years of fatigue in the open sea could not be relieved in a day or two.

Long-term mental tension and bloody contamination are not a good thing for spiritual practice, and can even be said to be quite harmful.

This disadvantage is not just his feeling, but his rigorous research and demonstration, with clear experimental results.

This was one of the reasons why he did not choose to go out to sea to hunt monsters again.

No matter what you do, there is absolutely nothing wrong with combining work and rest.

He didn't sleep for too long this time. Within a day and a night, he was woken up by the continuous sound transmissions.

He glanced at the several transmissions that appeared on the transmission order, pondered for a while, and then walked out of the cave.

After about half an hour, he returned to the cave again.

This day and night was enough to completely ferment the exchange meeting in Baibao Pavilion.

Whether it is the identity of the master of weapon refining, the method of Zhiyang Zhigang that can eliminate the corrosive influence of monsters, or the small Zhoutian puppet array, and the projection of escaping from the pursuit of third-level monsters...

Any one of them is shocking enough.

And when these things converge on the same person, there is no doubt that he will rise to the top and become famous just like he did in Jingmen.

Just as he expected, he just needs to follow the steps... That's it...

……

In the north of the city, Yuehua Street.

"Senior, this shop belongs to Shanmeng League. I asked on your behalf, senior. According to the elders stationed here at Shanmeng League, this shop can be rented or sold."

"However, if it is a lease, the lease term shall not be less than 50 years, and the rent must be paid in full in one go."

Chu Mu glanced at the shop in front of him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. It didn't matter what the shop looked like. Chixia City had no city protection formation, and naturally there were no formations connected to it. All the houses and shops in the city could be demolished as long as they were rented. It can be rebuilt.

He asked: "Whose force is Shanmeng?"

"Reporting back to my predecessors, Shanmeng League is a force on the mountain islands in the outer sea. It is said that it was formed by an alliance of several foundation-building casual cultivators..."

Chang Er was obviously very well prepared and immediately started talking in an orderly manner.

Listening to what Chang Er said, Chu Mu was obviously a little confused.

The status of Chixia City in the vast sea is naturally unquestionable.

Owning a shop in this city is like having a cornucopia!

There are many shops for rent in the city, but there are only a few shops for sale.

Chu Mu asked: "Why do they want to sell the store?"

"This... small ones are not clear."

Chu Mu asked again: "What does Shanmeng mainly do?"

"Qunshan Island is located overseas. Shanmeng has a geographical advantage. It mainly deals in monster spiritual materials. Buy low and sell high..."

"You wait outside."

Chu Mu gave instructions and walked into the shop.

The store was obviously still open for business. On the shelves, a variety of demonic beasts and spiritual materials were displayed. Several store clerks were busy working beside the shelves. Behind the counter, there was nothing.

"senior."

Seeing Chu Mu walking in, a waiter immediately came forward to greet him.

Chu Mu asked casually: "Which of you can make the decision?"

"Senior, please wait a moment. I'm going to report this to the shopkeeper."

The waiter reacted immediately, bowed, turned around and trotted upstairs.

Soon, a bearded man walked down from the second floor under the guidance of the waiter.

The puppet is a strong man, nearly a foot tall. His right arm is holding a sledgehammer, his left arm is demonized, his sharp claws are flashing with cold light, and he has a terrifying aura.

Chu Mu glanced at the man's demonized left arm without trace, and the physical transformation that he knew before suddenly came to his mind.Such demonization seems to be... the product of transplantation and transformation?

"What's the matter, friend Daoist?"

The man made a loud sound and looked at Chu Mu with eyes like copper bells.

"Ms. Chu heard that your store is for sale to outsiders, so he came here to inquire about the situation."

Chu Mu got straight to the point.

Although the vast sea of ​​​​immortal cultivation world is the home of bloodline monks, there are very few pure immortal cultivators, and it is not suitable for the survival of orthodox immortal cultivators, but for him, the situation is obviously different.

In the Dachu Immortal Cultivation World, a second-level elixir prescription could easily be hundreds of years old elixir. With the almost complete monopoly of the knowledge resource system in the Dachu Immortal Cultivation World, it was too difficult for him!
In contrast, although this vast world of cultivating immortals is full of dangers, chaos and disorder, dangers also mean opportunities.

Not to mention anything else, the system that uses demons as pills is enough for him to settle here for a long time.

In the case of long-term settlement, leasing or buying and selling, if possible, he naturally hopes to choose to buy this store.

"You want to buy this store?"

The strong man looked at Chu Mu and asked suspiciously.

"Correct."

Chu Mu nodded and looked at the shop for a moment before looking at the strong man in front of him.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please go upstairs and take a seat first. Niu will contact the other elders in the alliance first."

"This shop is owned by the Alliance. Fellow Taoist, please forgive me."

"It's okay."

Chu Mu nodded, and under the guidance of a waiter, he went up the stairs and finally sat down in the lobby on the second floor.

But about a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and then two figures walked out of the stairs.

The bearded man and the thin old man beside him were both in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is here to visit us, and our store is in full bloom."

This time, it was the thin old man who spoke out. The old man Re was very enthusiastic. Even the bearded man was obviously more in awe.

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but thinking about the turmoil that Chixia had caused because of him these days, he was also aware of it.

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy this alliance store?"

After a while of polite remarks, the old man turned to the topic.

"Correct."

Chu nodded.

"This store was purchased in Chixia by the ancestors of our alliance five hundred years ago, and it continues to this day. If our alliance had not suffered a sudden disaster, this store would definitely not be sold."

The old man sighed and spoke slowly.

Seeing Chu Mu's confusion, the old man sighed softly and then explained: "At the beginning of spring this year, for some unknown reason, a third-level wind-splitting beast suddenly attacked Qunshan Island."

"Although we managed to stop it in the end, the alliance also suffered heavy losses. As a last resort, we began to sell assets outside the alliance one after another."

"This store is already the third one sold by our alliance in Chixia City."

"If Fellow Taoist really wants to buy this store, I can make the decision to give you a low price, Fellow Taoist."

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, his eyes wandering over the old man and the bearded man, and he slowly put down the teacup he had picked up.

"I have a junior who is quite talented in weapon refining..."

The old man spoke slowly, his slightly muddy eyes looking at Chu Mu from time to time, observing Chu Mu's reaction.

After the old man finished speaking, Chu Mu frowned slightly and subconsciously tapped his fingertips on the table. The sound was not loud, but at this moment, the old man and the strong man's attention was also focused.

"Chu needs to think about this matter."

After a while, Chu Mu finally spoke slowly under the almost eager gazes of the two people.

"In this way, in two days, two days later, Chu will give you a reply, fellow Taoist."

"Row."

The old man seemed a little happy and agreed immediately.

Immediately, after the old man and the bearded man saw each other off, Chu Mu walked out of the shop.

Chang Ershang was waiting respectfully outside the shop. When he saw Chu Mu walking out, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Let's go."

Chu Mu waved his hand and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking deeply.

Seeing this, Chang Er didn't dare to say anything and followed him step by step.

The condition of exchanging the huge profits of a shop for the status of master and apprentice of a master refiner can be said to be very wise and cost-effective.

Although the benefits of shops are great, these benefits are unlikely to change much.

But this master-disciple status has countless possibilities.

After all, not everyone has the "spiritual blessing", has incredible understanding, and can be self-taught.

In any of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortality, if there is no one to lead the way, no one to teach by words and deeds, even if the knowledge is in front of you, it will be difficult to get started.

If we follow his guidance, in this exchange of interests, it is basically equivalent to a weapon refining inheritance, which will continue to be passed down in Shanmeng from now on.

As for him, with just the title of master and apprentice, he could acquire a shop in Chixia City with nothing, which seemed... very worthwhile.

However, Chu Mu's consideration is not whether this transaction is a win-win situation.

And the thing is, once this hole is opened, it will be difficult for him to refuse if there is an exchange of interests.

If he refuses, it will not be in line with his plan.

After all, he wants to settle in Chixia for a long time.

This kind of master-disciple status is only in name. For him, as long as it is done properly, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages...
