"What about the seven brothers?" Chen Mu asked calmly.
"I heard that he was taught a lesson by the Inspection Office and has become more obedient now." Old Hao chuckled.
I can rest assured that.
Chen Mu nodded silently.
"The Wushan Seven Brothers deserve what they got. We won't care." Old Hao sighed, "But Zizhu will be innocent."
"If it weren't for them, the Wushan Seven Brothers wouldn't have been punished. Who knows, one day it might happen to us."
“So, we have to help them!”
What does this old man want to do?
"I just happen to have a batch of cheap and useful tranquilizing pills."
"Give it to them, at least they can save some money on the white jade." Mr. Hao looked like he was doing it for their own good.
"It's a pity that Zizhu Club was hurt by the seven brothers and has become prejudiced against the old disciple." Old Hao shook his head and sighed.
"But you are a new disciple, so you will naturally stand on their side."
"After much thought, I think the best option is for you to give it to them." Old Hao raised his eyebrows.
"I won't let you work in vain. For every bottle you sell, I'll give you a tranquilizer."
"As long as you sell thirty bottles, you will have enough resources for one month of cultivation."
"How about, try it?"
Chen Mu: “…”
Are you trying to drag me into selling fake pills?
Help the Purple Bamboo Society? Bullshit!
Just to make money by selling drugs!
Chen Mu looked at Mr. Hao with a complicated expression and couldn't help but think of Shang Huan behind him.
I went to Shang Huan to sell medicine, but Shang Huan found me to be a salesman?
It’s really a circle after giving birth.
……
At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky and the stars shine brightly.
Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair, chanting a tongue-twisting curse.
It took him a long while to stop and casually glance at the gray wall.
Confirmed that the proficiency of Baiyi Lingguangshu has reached 2722.
After taking another look at the other projects, Chen Mu closed the gray wall.
He raised his hands, stretched himself, then slumped in the rocking chair and stared at the sky.
Farming, eating, and gaining experience, Chen Mu's life has been regular and comfortable in the past half month, and he even kind of forgot about time.
"It's a comfortable day when no one comes to make trouble."
Black smoke billowed, and a leather wristband appeared in the right hand.
Chen Mu looked at the new mustard seed talisman with a complicated expression. It had the power to open and close thirty-five times.
After all, people are different.
"There are not many people like me who stick to the bottom line and are kind." Chen Mu sighed helplessly.
It is so much better to be self-reliant instead of thinking about harming others for your own benefit.
"This is your compensation for disturbing my peaceful life." Chen Mu opened the mustard seed talisman helplessly.
He was really not interested in this kind of windfall.
"Ugh……"
"Hey... this wooden cabinet is made of good material!"
He happily opened all the drawers and checked them one by one.
The first thing that caught his attention was the various jade scrolls.
"The Five Yin Black Evil Net is a good secret technique." Chen Mu flipped through the supplementary volume of the secret technique.
The silk net can be used to entangle and control, cut and attack, and can also be used to resist defense.
Being able to attack, defend, and control is a rare secret method.
"What a pity..." Chen Mu shook his head and put the book aside.
He still has seven or eight similar supplementary volumes of the Jade Seed Secret Method.
Most of his free time is currently occupied by spiritualism, and he really has no energy to practice esoteric arts.
"Three Yuan Secret Seal? If I hadn't mastered the Jade Seed, it would still be somewhat useful."
Chen Mu continued to flip.
"Small Zhoutian Xinghe Lingguang Method?!"
"Ouch!"
"So damn rich!" Chen Mu was so angry that his teeth were itching as he held the jade tablet.
This thing is the most expensive book of spiritual secrets in the Sutra Academy, and it costs five hundred white jade coins!
Turn over the jade tablet and look at the front.
The silver dots that represented the true meaning of the secret method had dimmed. Only the brief description and precautions engraved on the back remained, indicating how valuable this thing was before.
"It would be great if you bought it a few days later!"
"Five hundred..."
Despite spending so much, Chen Mu still found two hundred and thirty-seven white jade coins in the wooden cabinet.
"Money can move people's hearts." Chen Mu suddenly realized.
No wonder Zhang Tuan was busy recruiting people to join the Zizhu Society.
"Could it be that they make money by selling fake drugs to members?" Chen Mu thought of what Zhang Tu'an said when he was promoting the Dingshen Pills.
There is also a recipe that is suspected to come from Shang Huan.
Chen Mu couldn't help but look at the middle and lower drawers. There were three whole layers, all filled with neatly stacked white porcelain bottles.
Opening a bottle at random and sniffing it, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh: "It would be fine even if it's mixed with half of the real stuff."
"There are thirty-five pills in a bottle, but only five are real tranquilizers!"
"Compared to this, Shang Huan, that fat guy who always thinks about forging and adulterating goods, actually has some moral bottom line?!"
"Ah……"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 219 Price Increase
After selecting and choosing among seventy or eighty porcelain bottles, he only got a little more than twelve bottles of Zhending Shen Pills.
"You have a dark heart."
The remaining things are mostly precious medicinal herbs and a small amount of unknown minerals.
There is also a matte black three-legged, two-eared lidded tripod.
The tripod is flat and round in shape, with a smooth and warm surface, and the material looks like black pottery.
There are cloud patterns carved on the edge of the lid, and an unknown strange beast around the belly. Its shape is elegant, connected from front to back, and quite beautiful.
There was a ball-shaped button on the top cover. Chen Mu pinched it and tried to pull it up, but failed to open it.
The black pottery tripod was placed in the large drawer at the bottom, and next to it was an ancient jade slip as thick as an arm, with densely packed small golden characters etched all over every piece of the jade.
"Hunyuan Five Qi Furnace?"
"This is an alchemy furnace!" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.
"I've learned a lot." It was the first time he had seen this thing.
"It's a pity that my pharmacy skills are not at my level enough." Chen Mu shook his head.
The fifth-level pharmaceutical technique is still just the refining of ordinary medicines.
Even the simplest fasting pill cannot be analyzed for its ingredients and refining techniques.
"Just keep it, it will definitely be useful in the future." Chen Mu thought happily.
……
Five days later, Tongtianfang Pier.
Chen Mu followed the bruised and swollen Mr. Hao and the bruised and swollen Shang Huan to the boat.
"What are you two doing?" Chen Mu asked knowingly, trying not to smile.
"He fell!" they both said in unison.
Ah……
"Look at that group of people!" After all, Old Hao was more shameless than Fatty Shang. Unable to stand Chen Mu's strange look, he quickly pointed at the group of people who had just got off the boat not far away and changed the subject.
"Why are you all so dejected? Did something happen?" Chen Mu frowned slightly.
"I just feel sorry for her." Mr. Hao joked with a smile.
"Didn't you also return empty-handed the first time you went to the dojo? Your expression at that time was even worse than theirs." Shang Huan teased with the same cheerfulness.
"Don't laugh at me. When you leave, you will see a hundred white jade coins go down the drain. I wonder if you will feel sad or not." Old Hao said unhappily.
"Why should I feel bad? If I can earn the first hundred, I can earn the second hundred." Shang Huanhun didn't care.
Mr. Hao stopped talking immediately.
