Cheng Ming, however, stared at the fasting pill in Chen Mu's hand with a greedy look on his face, his stomach still flat.
"You're such a glutton." Her appetite is almost the same as his.
……
"That's normal." Jiejia picked up a piece of fried fish fillet and said, "If you are born with a Taoist bone, it's not surprising to have a big appetite."
Dao bone? Chen Mu heard a new word.
"Don't think about it. They are not from the same world as us." Jie Jia said lightly.
"What do you mean?"
"It takes ten years to train the body and a hundred years to cultivate the soul. Even if you are gifted, you must practice hard. If you can cultivate a wandering soul at the age of thirty, you can be called a genius." Jie Jia suddenly said with emotion.
"After that, accumulate energy and strengthen the wandering soul. When the wandering soul is fully formed into armor, a lifetime will be over."
"But those who are born with a Taoist bone can complete the training of the body in a hundred days, and the training of the armor spirit in three years."
"Can such people be the same as us?"
It was the first time that Chen Mu heard Jie Jia talk so much.
"Is courage really that difficult to cultivate?" He had some proficiency and did not find it difficult to practice the form technique, nor did he take courage seriously.
Seeing Jie Jia sighing like that, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
I immediately thought of Chengming.
Could this little guy be the kind of person who is born with a Taoist temperament?
"Don't even think about it. People like this will be taken away as soon as they show up. You won't see them."
"There are many people with big appetites. People born with supernatural powers, possessing the blood of exotic animals, or taking shape-changing drugs will all make people eat a lot." Jie Jia finished speaking in one breath, took out a white silk cloth and slowly wiped his mouth. He quickly calmed down and returned to his calm state.
……
After the meal, Chen Mu pondered over Dao Gu with an unpleasant expression as he watched Jie Jia disappear in the thick mountain fog.
This world is so unfair.
I worked hard for a year and a half, but still couldn't complete the practice. But some people can easily complete the practice.
Chen Mu felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart and his face became increasingly gloomy.
And courage. Even if one practices until his hair turns gray, he still has courage. But a person with a Taoist spirit only needs three years.
Chen Mu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and he gritted his teeth and thought: "If Jie Jia is so difficult, what about me?"
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary scholar with a poor physique. He practiced the Red Falcon Form Training Technique, which was a common technique on the street.
"Change tendons, bones and marrow"
"Ten years to train the form, a hundred years to train the soul."
"I have been practicing diligently for a year and a half, but I haven't completed the marrow transformation yet!"
"For an ordinary, low-level warrior like me who has no resources, no master, and no backing, when will I be able to make a breakthrough?" Chen Mu's face was filled with grief and indignation, staring at the gray wall of proficiency in front of him.
Red Falcon Shape Training: 5209/10000/Level ;
"Huh? The training can be completed in three months at most?!"
Chen Mu blinked.
"Humph!"
He fiercely put away the gray wall.
“These foreign objects!”
"It disturbs my mind!"
"It's better not to watch it!"

Chapter 51 Leaving
Qingshan County, in a large house in Anlefang, east of the city.
In the living room, former county magistrate Li Qing was drinking tea leisurely.
"Uncle, according to statistics from the city guards, the number of evil incidents in the city is gradually decreasing, and they only occur in the western part of the city." A sturdy man with a dark complexion said as he sat next to him across a small coffee table.
"The effect of the altar is spreading westward from Qingfeng Temple, and it won't be long before it completely covers Qingshan County."
"Unfortunately, I asked people to investigate in many ways, but still couldn't find out what means Fengren used." The black-faced sturdy man looked regretful.
"The old Taoist priest Fengren does have some skills." Li Qing put down the teacup and said.
"Unfortunately, that sincerity is a stubborn one. He refuses to make money even if there is something wrong with the workers' rations. He comes to cause trouble. How hateful!" Li Wenlin was furious.
"Who can have enough to eat these days? What's wrong with hairy white wheat? It will be fine if it is cooked. It's not okay to mix some grass seeds and tree bark in it, but it's not inedible, right?"
"Wenlin, you are the son of our Li family, the commander of the city guards, and your family has not lost any money. Why do you have to eat from those mud legs?"
"It's more important to save Qingshan County than to have some personal possessions." Li Qing said slowly.
As long as Qingshan County is preserved, there are many ways to make money.
"Uncle, but we must have a backup plan. We can't let Qingfeng Temple strangle us." Li Wenlin said with a turn of his eyes.
Li Qing nodded thoughtfully: "It is true that I can't walk with a limp."
Seeing Li Qing's interest, Li Wenlin immediately introduced with great interest: "Uncle, I found someone, he might..."
"Could it be another money-swindler like Taoist Qianshan?" Li Qing looked at his nephew with a squint.
The key point is that they didn’t defraud all the money, they ran away halfway through!
I had already reserved a place for my share, but in the end, the person in the mountains was gone and it was all in vain.
"Uncle, this time it's not some crappy master, it's a magical weapon." Li Wenlin whispered excitedly after getting closer.
"Which fool would sell magic tools?" Li Qing didn't believe it at the moment.
Lin Wenlin chuckled and said, "The magic weapon is a treasure, but the price is something most people can't afford!"
"I heard that thing requires a blood sacrifice."
"Others don't dare to use it."
"But we have no shortage of death row inmates in our cells."
Li Qing narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "It's better not to touch this kind of evil magic weapon."
"uncle……"
"Alright! Don't mention this matter again!"
……
The emerald green Xiaodong Mountain seems to be covered with a white veil.
The towering trees were completely buried in the mist, with only the treetops sticking out, like dots of green on a white veil, adding a mysterious and elegant beauty to the entire Xiaodong Mountain.
A light mist filled the mountains and forests. Chen Mu pushed through the white mist and walked quietly.
In the mist, the scorching sun becomes gentle, like a fluorescent lamp emitting soft light.
The wooden house at the edge of the gathering area. I haven't been here for only seven or eight days, but it feels like it has been abandoned for several months.
The doors and windows were drooping on the doorframes. A faint musty smell spread throughout the room.
"Brother Yang, you are finally here!" Old Liu ran out from the window carefully, looking around, afraid of being discovered.
"The black dogs have become more and more aggressive recently." Old Man Liu complained.
"Brother Yang, you have to give me a good price." Old man Liu pointed at several sacks piled up in the room.
"These things nearly killed me."
After not seeing each other for a few days, Chen Mu discovered that the other party did not look well.
He seemed thinner, and his face looked weak and pale.
Chen Mumo said nothing, squatted down and quietly checked all the medicines.
He would not let go of any inspection just because both parties were familiar with each other after many transactions.
He had fallen into the same trap once before, and he didn't want to fall into the same trap a second time.
After a while, he took out a handful of round leaf-shaped medicinal herbs from the bag.
He raised his hand in front of Old Liu and picked out four leaves from the dozen or so leaves and placed them on the front of his palm.
His eyes were calm and indifferent as he looked at the pale-faced Old Man Liu.
"What a bold and unruly bunch of people! How dare they pass inferior goods off as good ones!" Old man Liu was furious!
Chen Mu said nothing, just stared at Old Man Liu.
It was not until Old Man Liu looked embarrassed and at a loss that he withdrew his gaze.
"Brother Yang, please have mercy on me." Old man Liu bowed and begged for mercy.
Chen Mu withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
He opened the purse that he had prepared long ago, took out a piece of silver in front of the other person's painful eyes, and then threw the bag to the other person.
"The last batch will be in three days." Ignoring Old Man Liu's attempt to explain, he grabbed several sacks with one hand and rushed into the increasingly thick white fog.
……
Back mountain cliff.
Chen Mu sorted, dried, ground and mixed the medicinal materials.
A large number of fasting pills have been made, and various dried fruits, dried meats, and dried vegetables are also prepared.
All the way to Nanyang Prefecture, even if the three Chen Mu worked together, they would not be able to finish it.
He continued to ask Old Man Liu to purchase medicinal materials, in order to stock up on a series of essential medicines for home and travel, including food preservative powder, quick-acting wound medicine, Sanyang Liujun Pills, and a revised version of Mishen Cigarettes.
All the way to Nanyang Prefecture, safety is uncertain.
