After taking a sip of the refreshing herbal tea, Chen Mu's attention was drawn to the conversation between several people.
"I heard someone died again." An old man with gray hair and strong muscles frowned as he fanned himself with a door knife.
"It's not so easy to kill strange beasts. It's normal for people to die." A tall and thin old man on the other side said.
"But haven't you noticed that more and more people have died recently?" the white-haired old man asked worriedly.
"We've cleared dozens of miles of wasteland, so the surrounding strange beasts should have been killed almost all the time, right?" Old Hao puffed on his cigarette.
"It is said that because the Cold Moon Toad is no longer there to deter people, all the strange beasts in the distance are running over here."
"Maybe... a tide of beasts will break out!" the muscular old man whispered.
"Are you overthinking it?" one of them retorted.
"It's hard to say..."
"Beast tide?" Chen Mu's face changed.
He couldn't help but think of the time when he was in the lower house of Tongtian River.
At that time, a tide of beasts also attacked the House of Commons.
The harm is extremely great.
buzzing...
A low buzzing sound interrupted Chen Mu's memories.
A group of gray insects rushed forward on the ground like waves.
Wherever it passes, not a blade of grass grows.
The low shrubs, man-high weeds, and tangled, winding vines were all eaten and chewed.
The dense forest filled with thick vegetation suddenly became clear, with only tall trees towering into the sky remaining.
Chen Mu took a sip of herbal tea and tied the yellow gourd around his waist.
"We need to make some preparations."

Chapter 267 Back to the Mountain
Pengyue Mountain and Lengyue Lake.
On the two mountains on both sides of the cold pond, caves were dug out like honeycombs.
One of the caves on the lowest level, closest to the cold pond.
Mo Wuzhou sat cross-legged on the couch with two wooden boxes placed on the low table in front of him.
He reached out and took out a round jade disk from the wooden box on the left.
He held his right hand and slowly closed his eyes.
chi chi chi...
A series of sounds like concentrated acid corroding objects were heard.
Silver-grey threads grew rapidly inside the white jade wall, like thunder tearing through the sky, spreading swiftly and cleanly throughout the white jade.
hum!
A low vibration came from the white jade.
Mo Wuzhou opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction: "The thirty-second one."
"It's a pity that it still needs to be nurtured in the earth veins." Mo Wuzhou looked at the wooden box on the right.
There were already seventy or eighty white jade coins in it.
Unlike normal white jade coins, the star-shaped silver threads inside these round white jades are silver-gray and appear a little dim.
Only when it is placed into the earth vein, absorbs enough earth spirit and vitality, and lights up all the silver thread stars, can it be considered a real white jade coin.
"It's a pity that only one fifth of it is mine." Mo Wuzhou sighed.
Short of money!
"More than 20 a day, more than 7,000 a year."
“Ten years won’t be enough!”
The method of concentrating the acupoints is really too expensive.
“I don’t know when I can go back to the Upper House.”
Not long after he became an apprentice, and before he had the chance to learn his master's alchemy skills, he was sent to the lower house.
Immediately afterwards, the Chongshan Road invasion incident occurred.
The upper house was closed and the lower house was dispersed.
Fortunately, I learned the golden bead talisman and can refine white jade coins, otherwise I would only be able to take risks in the mountains and forests.
"I hope that Taoist Master Dongli will return soon."
He was just about to continue refining the white jade coins when he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been notified before that an old friend was coming to visit.
Mo Wuzhou had a blank expression on his face, but he felt a little annoyed in his heart: "Where do I get so many old friends from!"
Ever since he became a spiritualist and returned to the House of Commons, he has made many more old friends.
"Forget it, let's meet first and talk about it." Mo Wuzhou sighed, stood up and walked back.
……
At the foot of Lengyue Lake, above Lengyue Pavilion.
A residential area of two-story wooden buildings is built on the hillside among the woods.
One of the wooden buildings, in the living room on the first floor.
Mo Wuzhou sat at the head of the table, his stiff face expressionless, but his eyes full of surprise: "You're really going to give me these two hundred white jades?"
"You didn't use my name to do anything bad, did you?"
There was a flash of suspicion in his eyes.
Two hundred white jades.
He stayed in Lengyuetan all day long to refine white jade for money, but only earned five or six hundred white jades a month.
This was an increase of three points in income, how could he not be surprised.
"We really are selling insect repellent incense." Shang Huan assured with a wry smile.
"What kind of insect repellent is so good?" Mo Wuzhou didn't believe it. He knew how to grow and make medicine, and he knew that the disciples in the lower academy all had some homemade insect repellent.
But as for the effect...it's just so-so.
"You wouldn't take a batch of inferior goods and then use my name to force the sale, right?" Mo Wuzhou glared at Shang Huan.
You are talking bullshit!
Shang Huan's face turned red.
If he is happy, he will definitely use some tricks when doing business.
But this was the first time it was not fake, and Mo Wuzhou still doubted him? !
This is so fucking unfair!
His eyes widened, and he didn't care about Mo Wuzhou's name or identity, and said viciously: "Senior Brother Mo, go and ask!"
"If anyone says that my insect repellent incense is adulterated or fake, I will tear off your head and use it as your chamber pot!"
Mo Wuzhou's stiff face showed no expression, but he felt embarrassed in his heart.
It seems that there is really no problem with this matter.
Well... take some time to meet Mr. Hao, and don't just listen to Shang Huan's one side of the story.
However, if this deal is really okay, then this is a big surprise.
“Is insect repellent incense really that profitable?”
I'm busy refining white jade coins in Lengyuetan. Have I taken the wrong path?
"Just imagine, out in the wilderness, there are all kinds of bugs everywhere, and it's hard to sleep well at night."
"If there is a plate of insect repellent incense like this, and it only costs one white jade coin a month, would you buy it if it were you?" Shang Huan recovered now and smiled again.
He is also very proud of being able to seize this business opportunity.
"That makes sense." Mo Wuzhou nodded calmly, his heart full of regret.
Why didn't I think of that? He also has a unique insect repellent incense formula.
"Making money is also a science." Mo Wuzhou said with emotion: "If I had your brain, I wouldn't be so tired."
Shang Huan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Senior Brother Mo is indeed short of money!
He was just about to mention Mu Linglang, and now the opportunity has come!
"Brother, I have a good opportunity to make money here. Are you interested?"
Interested?
I am so interested!
Mo Wuzhou was immediately overjoyed.
……
Two quarters of an hour later.
blah blah blah...
A jet black pony was jumping around in the living room.
Shang Huan stared at the Trojan horse curiously. He hadn't taken a close look at it since he got it last night.
