Chapter 117 Safety
The whole next day.
Except for eating and resting, Chen Mu spent all his time chanting the Soul-Locking Curse.
By the evening, proficiency increased to 792 points.
"The time for subsequent spells can be shortened. Generally speaking, it can be completed within ten days." Chen Mushong breathed a sigh of relief.
"The second level should be able to be used." Chen Mu guessed.
At the beginning, the Taoist Qianshan could only control a ghost paper man. The Five Ghosts Moving Mountains Curse was probably at the second level.
The opponent's Soul Locking Curse is probably at the second level, or even only at the first level.
Taoist Qianshan does not have any proficiency cheats.
"Maybe he just uses it to sacrifice ghosts and enhance the power of paper figures." Chen Mu thought of a possibility.
The second-level Soul-Locking Spell may not necessarily be able to successfully absorb the essence of the Three Treasures.
"We have to try it." Chen Mu thought thoughtfully.
……
After a short rest, Chen Mu ran to the kitchen to prepare meals.
As his cooking skills improved, he became more and more adept at cooking.
Each round black pottery dish is filled with various washed and cut ingredients.
Add onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Chen Mu picked up a plate of green leafy vegetables and poured them into the hot pot. A piece of data instantly flashed through his mind: "The main dish weighs about one pound and five ounces."
After stir-frying for a while, he waited for the leaves to soften, then reached into the brown pottery jar and pinched out some snow-white salt grains: "Hmm, one ounce of salt, just right."
"The old man seems to have a heavier taste." Chen Mu looked at the salt shaker.
"Forget it. He's just here to eat for free. How can I accommodate him?!" Chen Mu snorted twice, stir-fried the ingredients with a crackling sound to evenly distribute the salt and other seasonings, and then quickly served the dish.
"At worst, I can give him half a salted duck egg."
In the clean white porcelain dish, the emerald green vegetables look as if they were just picked.
The rich aroma spread, Chen Mu smelled it carefully, distinguishing the proportions of the various ingredients. He immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Practicing the shape technique more is still very beneficial."
Although he didn't fold it into armor, his precise control over his body was unmatched.
This allows him to control the weight ratio of the main ingredients particularly accurately when cooking.
The food is delicious and tasty.
……
By the time he brought the six dishes, one soup, three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes to the table, Jie Jia had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time.
"This is not like you." Chen Mu looked at Jie Jia in surprise.
In the past, he always came at mealtime. Why did he come so early today?
Jie Jia said nothing, but silently handed Chen Mu two silver notes worth one hundred taels.
Chen Mu looked at him in surprise.
It's really rare to see the return of money from this money-grubber.
"Blue pills are so popular?" Chen Mu suddenly realized. He had just given Jie Jia 25 blue pills yesterday, and judging by the situation, they were all sold out?!
"You can do more." Jie Jia said calmly.
Chen Mu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Fifty-fifty split!"
Jie Jia raised his eyelids a little, and stared at Chen Mu with his bright yellow eyes.
Chen Mu was not moved at all. He picked up a piece of green leafy vegetable, put it in his mouth and bit it with a crunching sound. He raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I, Chen Mu, have mastered the core technology!"
This wave of advantage is mine!
"Four or six." Jie Jia said lightly.
Chen Mu was satisfied, as they used to have a 3:7 split.
But after thinking about it, Chen Mu still opened his mouth to negotiate: "It's still 50-50, but I don't want money. You can use the Zu Ming Fu to pay it off."
"Deal!" Jie Jia said decisively.
Chen Mu: “…”
Why do I feel like I've been cheated?
"You can't charge me two thousand eight hundred taels. You have to give me a discount and charge me two thousand five hundred taels per piece." Chen Mu was unwilling and hurriedly bargained.
"No problem." Jiejia raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up a piece of greasy salted egg yolk the size of a fingernail with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly with enjoyment on his face.
Chen Mu: “…”
So happy?
loss!
This deal is definitely a loss!
"You're selling it for two thousand five hundred taels? You'll lose a lot of money!" Chen Mu complained sourly.
"It's not a loss." Jie Jia said calmly, "It's just a little bit of labor cost."
"What do you mean?" Chen Mu was confused.
"It means that I was the one who drew the Zuming Fu." Jie Jia's bright yellow eyes turned slightly, and he glanced at Chen Mu with a smile: "I also master the core technology."
Chen Mu: “…”
……
The next day, Chen Mu slept until dawn, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.
After lying down for a while, Chen Mu got up and started to clean up the room.
The main task was to collect the Zu Ming Fu scattered around the room.
There are four pictures on each of the four walls as usual.
One for each of the two windows.
Two on the beams and two on the ground.
After putting the ten Zuming talismans into his arms, Chen Mu bent down and took out one from under the bed and put it close to his body.
Only then did he leisurely walk out of the room, preparing to wash up and have breakfast.
Hearing that Jiejia could draw talismans, Chen Mu coaxed and persuaded Jiejia last night, even threatening to not wash his hands before cooking, and finally bought fifteen Zuming talismans on credit from Jiejia.
"It's just three or four more months of work." Chen Mu had no psychological burden.
He only needs to spend half an hour every day to extract twenty-five to thirty blue pills.
Each pill could bring him 10 to 12 taels of silver, which meant he could earn nearly 10,000 taels of silver a month.
With fifteen Zuming Fu, you can pay off your debts in three or four months.
"Now I don't have to cast the Soul-Locking Curse in a hurry." Chen Mu took a sip of warm soy milk and thought slowly.
He really didn't expect that the blue pill would sell so well.
Jie Jia, who is so greedy for money, even dares to buy on credit.
It's safe...
……
On the Luohe River, a 50-meter cargo ship successfully passed the checkpoint inspection and drifted into Nanyang Prefecture again.
The cargo ship docked at the small pier of Cihuifang on the south bank.
A group of laborers in brown shirts climbed onto the boat to unload the cargo.
During this time, three or five people in gray clothes walked down and quietly disappeared at the dock.
In the afternoon, the workers loaded new cargo onto the boat, and several men in gray quietly boarded the boat.
The cargo ship left the dock and slowly drifted out of the city.
The square-faced middle-aged man was still sitting cross-legged on the bow deck.
"Brother, your guess is right. Shangguan Ji has started to cause trouble for the Zhang family." The round-faced man said with a little excitement.
The square-faced middle-aged man tossed a peanut into his mouth briskly: "The grudge between the Shangguan family and the Zhang family can be traced back to the previous generation."
"As long as we give the slightest guidance, it will definitely cause disputes."
"Let's go, leave the city immediately and follow me to meet the demon ape Tushan."
The round-faced man said worriedly, "Tu Shan has a weird personality and is ruthless. If we go find him, I'm afraid..."
The square-faced middle-aged man smiled faintly: "Everyone has different desires. As long as you understand what he wants, there is nothing you can't talk about."
"The Zhang family is weak, we have to find him a helper."
"A battle between two evenly matched opponents is more interesting."
……
Linhengfang, Chen’s house.
Chen Mu slept until he woke up naturally.
After breakfast, spend half an hour refining the blue pill.
Each production can produce about 25 to 30 pieces, which is just enough for the sale of the jiajia in one day.
Then he began to practice the White Jade Toad Shape Training Technique.
With seventeen Zuming talismans in his arms, Chen Mu felt much more secure.
