Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 372 Empty Gloves White Wolf

Chu Mu frowned and walked along the street.

I don't know when, but there was a sudden shock in my arms, which woke Chu Mu out of his heavy thoughts.

He took out the voice transmission order, and a voice transmission sounded in his spiritual perception.

He looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the wooden windows of a nearby restaurant. The partitions and restrictions disappeared, and a beautiful figure came into view.

His eyes moved slightly, he waved his hand towards Chang Er, led Wangcai and walked into the restaurant.

Seeing this, Chang Er carefully glanced at the beautiful figure behind the window sill, hesitated for a while, and finally did not leave. He stood outside the restaurant door and waited silently.

When we arrived at the second-floor compartment, the glass was full of wine, and as the faint fragrance lingered, the smiling and beautiful face of the girl came into view.

"The Chixiao wine from Yuehua Restaurant is a specialty of Chixia City..."

The girl handed over the wine glass and introduced it with a smile.

Chu Mu glanced at the Baibao Pavilion logo on the upper right corner of the compartment door, and asked casually as he took the wine glass.

"Is this restaurant also the property of Baibao Pavilion?"

"Half of it."

"This restaurant is jointly opened by Baibao Pavilion and Heishanfang. It is run by Heishanfang on weekdays. The general ledger is calculated once a year..."

"This is true for all the forces, big and small, in this city. There is me among you, and you among me. The relationship is intricate..."

The girl spoke slowly, Chu Mu took a sip of the spirit wine, and the original entanglement seemed to be somewhat clear.

"By the way, Brother Chu, are you preparing to open a store?"

"Correct."

Chu Mu nodded and pointed to the Shanmeng store not far away: "Shanmeng's store is for sale, and I am ready to buy it."

"Shanmeng store..."

The girl blinked: "Shanmeng knows that Brother Chu is the one who went to buy the store. I'm afraid it's not just a store transaction, right?"

Chu Mu was slightly surprised.

The girl jumped for joy and smiled broadly: "Haha, my guess is right."

Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a little joking. He put down his wine glass and asked, "Tell me, girl in red, why is this business not just a business?"

"It's not easy."

The girl looked like she had seen through it all: "Since the previous exchange meeting, Brother Chu, your reputation has soared to the sky."

"The Mountain Alliance has suffered heavy losses recently. Several foundation-building elders are building connections in Chixia and collecting supplies. It's impossible that we haven't heard of your reputation, Brother Chu."

"In this world of immortal cultivation, there are countless forces, large and small. Which force would not want to cultivate its own weapon refiner and alchemist?"

"Shanmeng is just a small unknown force in the outer sea. They are not qualified to contact the famous masters of various skills in the vast sea."

"Most of the ordinary practitioners of immortality and hundreds of arts have masters or are backed by certain forces. They all have various restrictions. It is impossible to leave their inheritance outside, let alone leak it to forces like Shanmeng."

"Now, Brother Chu, you, a master of loose cultivating tools, come to your door. How can they let you go?"

"If you agree to them, Brother Chu, I'm afraid they will give it to you directly, Brother Chu."

"Every year from now on, there will be a large amount of offerings."

"In the world of cultivating immortals in the vast sea, this is basically the case..."

Chu Mu pondered for a while, then looked at the girl in front of him, his tone seemed more serious: "Then tell me whether Chu should agree."

Seeing this, the girl's casual smile faded a bit: "Then it depends on you, Brother Chu."

"Brother Chu, if you are just staying in the vast sea temporarily, there is no need to accept it."

"If you plan to settle down for a long time, these things are probably inevitable."

"If Shanmeng doesn't look for you, Brother Chu, someone else will. Brother Chu, even if you reject them all, you will still have other interests to entangle..."

Chu Mu chuckled: "Miss Hong'er, you are quite perceptive."

"It's like this everywhere. Brother Chu, you were like this when you were in Jingmen. It's just a different way."

"Besides, Brother Chu, you should have made your decision a long time ago."

"Otherwise, Brother Chu, you wouldn't have been so high-profile at the exchange meeting that day."

Chu Mu laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you can guess everything about Chu's thoughts, Miss Hong'er."

"Let's do this. Brother Chu, please don't accept it yet. Hong'er will check the current situation of Shanmeng for Brother Chu."

Chu Mu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Miss Hong'er."

The girl's bright eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked: "Does this count as a deal?"

Chu Mu was slightly startled. When he saw the corner of the girl's mouth raised slightly, he shook his head and smiled: "Miss Hong'er, if you say it counts, then it will be counted. If you say it won't be counted, then it won't be counted."

The girl smiled, raised her jade finger slightly, and made a gesture: "Brother Chu, you owe Hong'er to me twice..."

"Chu never lies."

Chu Mu raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Putting down the wine glass, Chu Mu didn't linger too long. After asking about bringing news to Xu Yuan, he walked out of the restaurant.

Downstairs, Chang Er stood outside the door, still waiting silently.

Seeing Chu Mu walking out, Chang Er stepped forward quickly, as if he was following suit.

When he reached the street, Chu Mu suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Chang Er, who was walking behind him, his eyes fixed on the dazzling scales on his body for a while, and then he slowly said: "I will show you the way, can you walk?" "

"The little one will never give up even if he dies!"

Chang Er suddenly fell to his knees, kowtowed and shouted.Chu Mu couldn't hide his surprise at kowtowing so decisively. He remained silent for a while, took out a contract, tossed it casually, and the contract fell in front of Chang Er.

"In two days, go to Shanmeng Trading Company."

Without saying a word, Chu Mu turned and left.

Chang Er continued to kowtow until Chu Mu walked away. He raised his head slightly, his somewhat gray eyes fixed on the contract on the ground.

A contract between the soul and the soul, the terms of the contract are few.

He raised his hand with difficulty, but it was only a short distance away. This moment seemed extremely far away, just like his previous extravagant hopes and fantasies, out of reach...

Fortunately, this time, being so out of reach is just an illusion. In a trembling moment, Chang Er's name also fell on the contract.

It seemed different from the ordinary contract. When the contract was signed, a flash of sword light disappeared into Chang Er's mind.

Although there was no abnormality at all, Chang Er suddenly had a premonition that the contract could not be violated, and if he violated it... he would definitely die!
The contract is harsh and the restrictions are extremely terrifying.

But at this moment, Chang Er smiled extremely brightly.

From this moment on, his rotten life will no longer be rotten.

Beating a dog also depends on the owner.

Even if he is a dog, he is still much more advanced than most monks in this city...

……

"You silly dog, come here!"

On the street, Wangcai suddenly rushed to the street stall and bit into his mouth a large piece of monster meat on the stall.

Chu Mu cursed, and Wangcai trotted back wagging his tail, but he refused to let go of the piece of monster meat in his mouth.

Chu Mu helplessly kicked Wangcai's feet, and then looked at the trembling stall owner beside him: "How many spiritual stones?"

"Senior likes it. It's an honor for junior. Let senior eat it."

The man swallowed, his voice trembling slightly as he looked at Wangcai's fierce appearance.

"Take it."

Chu Mu took out a bag of spiritual stones and threw it out without saying anything.

After walking a few steps, Chu Mu suddenly stopped and looked sharply at the unfinished monster meat in Wangcai's mouth.

He grabbed Wangcai, opened Wangcai's bloody mouth, and took out the remaining monster meat.

After checking around, there was nothing unusual except for the rich blood stained on the monster's flesh. However, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became thoughtful.

Monsters love blood. Before they have full intelligence, monsters basically act based on instinct.

Does this mean that if you are hunting monsters, you can use blood as bait? In other words, you can use different baits for different monsters...

He thought for a moment, and his eyes became brighter.

This seems very feasible.

Taking blood as the core, and then making corresponding baits according to the habits of different monsters...

Although this is difficult for him, he should be able to figure it out.

He took out a jade slip and jotted down this idea for the time being. He would study it again after finishing all these trivial matters recently.

"Stop running around."

Chu Mu gave instructions, walked along the street, and continued to stroll around Chixia City.

The girl's investigation was faster than he expected, and a complete piece of information about Shanmeng was sent just the next day.

Chu Mu browsed through it for a while, and this so-called mountain alliance formed a clear context in his mind.

Founded by three casual cultivators, it has been established for hundreds of years and has been passed down for generations.

Up to now, there has been a bit of a drought. There are only three foundation-building monks in the entire mountain alliance. In this sudden evil disaster, the leader of the foundation-building perfection mountain alliance, who has the highest level of cultivation, was seriously injured and went into seclusion. Even after recuperation, there is still no news.

The so-called selling of shops to raise supplies is obviously a lie. The real reason should be that Shanmeng can no longer protect the interests in Chixia City and is forced to spit out the interests bit by bit.

Even if he doesn't want it, the Shan Alliance assets in Chixia City will sooner or later be eaten up by other forces.

He was still thinking that if it weren't for the empty-handed white wolf, this mountain alliance seemed to be ready to attack him...the empty-handed white wolf. Moreover, they still wanted to use him to pull the tiger's skin and raise the banner... …

"People's hearts are sinister..."

Chu Mu shook his head, quite speechless.

"Shanmeng should not dare to deceive you like this, Brother Chu."

On the side, the girl slowly analyzed: "If they reach a consensus with you, Brother Chu, they should give generous gifts to make up for their relationship with you, Brother Chu."

"Your mind is spinning pretty fast!"

Chu Mu joked, perhaps because of their close interactions recently, the relationship between the two has become much closer.

"Brother Chu, it's hard for you to come forward. Let Hong'er talk about it."

"Brother Chu, you are in urgent need of demon pills. Shanmeng has been established overseas for so many years, and it should have a lot of wealth..."

The girl blinked her eyes, looking determined to win.

"Row."

Chu Mu nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "It can only be a registered disciple, but it will not hide anything."

"Brother Chu, just wait for the good news..."
