"Give me two bottles!"
The thin man smiled awkwardly and took out two white jade coins.
Chen Mu took it and put it away.
"Pick your own!"
"Get out of here right after you pick it!"
The man smiled apologetically, compared the bottles, picked two and left in a hurry.
It was as if a switch had been turned on.
After the thin man left, more people came to buy the Tranquilizing Pills.
Chen Mu prepared twelve bottles of Tranquilizing Pills for testing the waters, and they were sold out soon.
He immediately stood up, rolled up the felt cloth and left.
After leaving the underground market, wrap yourself with the five ghost paper figures to become invisible.
Then he changed directions continuously, constantly changing clothes and applying smell-changing potions on his body.
After struggling until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, we finally arrived at a small valley behind a low mountain.
He didn't go home and just lived in a small valley.
There was a cellar he had dug in advance.
There is food and drink, the room is ventilated and dry, and there are three exits so you can escape at any time.
Not only that, he also let two ghosts float in the air, monitoring the surroundings at all times.
It was not until the next day when the sky was bright that Chen Mu was sure that the group was safe and secure last night and that no one was following them.
Chen Mu returned to the courtyard on the low mountain, sat in the rocking chair and scratched his head.
"Shouldn't someone rob and kill him along the way and force him to reveal the source of the elixir?"
“This doesn’t fit the mainstream plot, does it?”
"I'm not the protagonist after all."
"Of course, it's also possible that no one has noticed that I'm reselling pills yet."
"We need to be more careful later."
Only then did he feel like taking stock of last night's gains.
"After deducting the cost of one jade piece, the net profit is eleven white jade coins..."
"Shang Huan can provide thirty-six white jade coins."
"As long as I go to the underground market one or two more times, it will be enough to cover my expenses for a month." Chen Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is risky though.
But if we ship in small quantities and multiple times, and Shang Huan shares the responsibility, the risk of being discovered is immediately reduced by half.
If all were given to Shang Huan to sell, the fat man would probably fail.
With Gongsun Sheng around, he was not afraid of Shang Huan betraying him.
But it is not always convenient to find a new shield.
……
Five days later, Chen Mu returned safely from the underground market again.
Twelve bottles of Tranquilizing Pills were quickly sold out.
The tracking and pursuit scenes that Chen Mu had been worried about did not happen.
"Right."
"There are thousands of disciples in the lower house throughout the basin plain."
"It's just a few dozen bottles of Tranquilizing Pills. It's normal for them to be digested quickly."
After that, Chen Mu went to the underground market every five or six days.
Each time, the number of bottles sold may be as many as twelve or as few as five or six.
The image is different every time.
After a few times, there was no mistake at all.
"Do you want to ship out more goods at one time?" Chen Mu was eager to try.
"Forget it. Safety first."
It is safest to ship small quantities and multiple times using different identities at irregular intervals.
……
At the foot of the short mountain, there are rice fields with yellow buds.
Chen Mu strolled among them.
Balls of cold well water, large and small, appeared out of nowhere and poured onto the ground near different yellow rice sprouts.
Chen Mu looked at the palm-sized green rice ears with yellow buds at the top and nodded with satisfaction.
Perhaps because of the jade plate, the well water in the courtyard on the low mountain is richer in spiritual energy.
With Chen Mu's increasingly mature planting skills, the yellow bud rice is growing well.
Every time Old Man Hao came, his face twitched with envy.
The land he, the master, cultivates is not as good as that cultivated by his apprentice Chen Mu.
puff!
With a slight sound, a black and red pill the size of a peanut cut through the air.
An unknown beetle the size of a fist and with a gray-brown body was instantly pierced through.
"These annoying bugs are increasing in number."
According to what Mr. Hao said, the closer it is to maturity, the more insects and beasts will covet the yellow sprout rice.
These days, Chen Mu had to separate two of the Five Ghosts paper figures to patrol non-stop.
He doesn't really care how much he harvests.
But it was so hard to grow. It was about to mature, so we couldn't just leave it alone and let it be destroyed by insects and beasts, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly caught a glimpse of green out of the corner of my eye.
hum!
One emerald green beetle turned into two, two turned into four, and in almost the blink of an eye, a large group of emerald green beetles appeared in Huangya Rice.
clang!
The heartless bell rang, and then black smoke rolled up.
In the blink of an eye, all the emerald green beetles were swallowed up by the Five Ghost Bag.
"This kind of insect..." Chen Mu frowned.
The beetle seemed to have said, This is a completely new type of pest.
I encountered it once before. I didn't expect that these guys would come back again when the yellow sprout rice is about to mature.
"Fortunately, there is Wuxinling."
Otherwise, there is really no way to quickly eliminate this rapidly proliferating pest.
……
Three days later, late at night, the rice fields were covered with yellow sprouts.
clang!
The sound of a bronze bell being struck spread across the fields.
A flock of emerald green beetles fell to the ground.
Inside the courtyard of the low mountain.
Chen Mu sat under the wooden shed, frowning as he looked at the yellow rice field from the perspective of the Five Ghosts.
"Again?"
If he hadn't asked the five ghosts to patrol and monitor tonight.
At least one or two acres of rice fields were destroyed.
"Is the outbreak only happening here, or is there a problem in the entire basin plain?" Chen Mu felt something was wrong.
Were we going to run into an insect plague?!
"I have five ghosts patrolling and the Heartless Bell to kill insects."
"What about Mr. Hao?"
"What about the other farmers?"

Chapter 204 Pest Pest
The pest comes unexpectedly.
Three days later, at night, the rice fields were covered with yellow sprouts.
The emerald green beetle that could split quickly suddenly appeared.
Almost none of the ten acres of land was spared.
Standing in front of the field, Chen Mu could clearly hear the teeth-grinding and frightening snapping sound.
The patches of yellow rice looked like collapsed sand castles, broken, tilted, and collapsed, and then swallowed up before they could even fall to the ground.
Chen Mu quickly shook the Wuxin Bell and cooperated with the five ghosts to quickly eliminate the pests.
