The Cloud Bat Flying Boat arrived at the Upper House of Jilong Road, reportedly to be picking up people.
After a while, Shang Huan hurried into the compartment.
"I found out that the person who picked up the phone was an elder named Sun."
"He also brought hundreds of upper house disciples on board."
"Now our Dean Song can no longer be the Dean." Shang Huan came close to the two of them and whispered.
"Who becomes the dean has nothing to do with us little people." Old Hao smoked a cigarette with a carefree look on his face: "It doesn't matter who you farm for."
Chen Mu deeply agreed with this.
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Mo has returned to the Upper House." Shang Huan sighed: "My business is over."
"Isn't there still Young Master Liang as the dean?" Old Hao was puzzled.
"I'm only doing this for Senior Brother Mo's sake. He's a master of the Condensation Realm and doesn't care about the one thousand eight hundred white jade coins a month." Shang Huan shook his head.
"It's difficult to find a new backer." Shang Huan sighed.
"Didn't they say that hundreds of disciples from the upper house have come? There must be disciples who can sense and break delusion among them. If we look carefully, we can always find new backers." Chen Mu suggested casually.
"I'm afraid that the lion will open his mouth wide and swallow us whole, skin and bones." Shang Huan was worried.
"Why didn't you ask Senior Brother Mo to recommend one or two?" Chen Mu asked.
"I asked." Shang Huan looked depressed: "He told me to go find Mr. Gongsun."
"This Mr. Gongsun is like a rat, hiding his head and showing his tail all day long. Where can I find him?"
Hide the head and show the tail?
Rat?
Chen Muxu looked at Shang Huan.
Fatty, I'll remember you!
……
"By the way, Brother Chen, Senior Brother Mo asked me to pass on a message to you before he left." Shang Huan slapped his head and suddenly said, "If your request is successful, you can go directly to see Young Supervisor Liang."
Then he looked at Chen Mu curiously: "What's the matter? Why do you have to look for Young Supervisor Liang?"
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Nothing, I just found a new job."
Old Monk Hao and Huan could not help but look at each other.
What kind of work is it that involves the Youth Supervisor's Office?
They spent quite a bit of time together on weekdays, but they hadn't heard any news about it before.
In the eyes of the two, Chen Mu suddenly became mysterious.
Chen Mu smiled and didn't explain. Instead, he turned his head and looked out the window at the Jilong Road upper courtyard.
Although he had no intention of hiding it, he still did not plan to publicize the high-profit job such as alchemy.
The cloud bats spewed out white mist and smoke, rising higher and higher.
The entire view of a huge square as big as four football fields came into view.
The square is paved with bluestone, and there are neatly arranged stone buildings on the south side, which seems to be a market gathering area.
To the north are towering mountains.
On the lush green hills, the blue-tiled roofs and flying eaves occasionally peek out, and the white jade stairs are looming.
"It's a pity that we are not allowed to get off the boat." Chen Mu lamented.
I don’t know if I will have the chance to come to Jilong Road Shangyuan again in the future.
Uh...
Accompanied by a long cry.
The cloud bat was surrounded by smoke and trailed a smoke tail, rushing diagonally upwards through the clouds.
Then, it trembled its wings slightly, steadied its body, and soon disappeared into the horizon with a billowing white airflow.
……
half a month later.
In the easternmost part of Yunzhou, there are continuous mountains stretching from south to north, which is called Dongling.
The mountain peaks are steep and are shrouded in mist all year round, with streams of light flying up from time to time. According to popular legend, immortals live among them.
Deep in Dongling, there is a mountain that towers into the clouds, named Yuquan.
At the foot of Yuquan Mountain, there are five or six low mountains forming a ring, enclosing a vast basin plain.
At the edge of the basin, at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, there are rows of makeshift wooden houses.
Inside the wooden house.
Chen Mu held the Hunyuan Alchemy Furnace and slowly opened his eyes.
Wind and Fire Cardinal Spell: 5037/10000;
"After you pass half of your proficiency, you should be able to try to make pills."
“But the success rate is probably not high.”
"And even if I can practice it, I can't show it to Liang Yi. It's too fast." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and thought.
He had confirmed through indirect inquiries several times before that it took Mo Wuzhou half a year just to master the Five Elements Breathing Technique.
If I can refine the fasting pill in less than half a year, what if someone finds out and arrests me for investigation?
Just as I was thinking about when to go find Liang Yi, I heard a noisy sound outside the wooden house.
Chen Mu couldn't help but open the window and look out.
An old man in his fifties with a goatee was holding a book and knocking on the doors of each wooden house to ask questions, while writing something down from time to time.
Many people nearby came out of the wooden house and leaned against the door, watching with great interest.
"Looks like there's no need to wait. We have to go today."
The old man was making a list of the grades of the disciples in the lower academy to facilitate unified deployment.
I have already mastered the ability to sense and see through illusions, but it is not suitable to expose it in public.
It would be better to change your identity directly through Liang Yi.
Apart from a few acquaintances, it wouldn't cause much stir.
……
Yuquan Mountain rises high into the clouds, with towering buildings on the top, as if it is lying above the clouds.
The golden sun shines on the sea of clouds, making the mountain top look like a fairyland.
There is a pine forest on the west side of the mountain top, with two wooden buildings, one large and one small, hidden in the middle of the pine forest.
In the living room on the first floor of the small wooden building, Chen Mu pointed his right hand at the gray cloth bag on the ground.
Five yuan to absorb energy!
hum!
The yellow rice in the bag trembled, and wisps of white powder seemed to rise up and gathered into a ball in Chen Mu's palm.
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Mu stopped the Qi-gathering technique and put a fist-sized ball of grain essence into the brown wooden box on the coffee table beside him.
Then he bowed with a face full of shame and said: "Young Supervisor, I am not very skilled. I can only draw six or seven kilograms out of a hundred kilograms. I am ashamed."
"Master was right. You do have a talent for alchemy." Liang Yi sighed, then shook his head: "What a pity..."
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
"I will arrange for you to work in Danbao Pavilion of the General Affairs Department to make pills."
"But regarding the plan for accumulating Taoist power, we can only follow the arrangements of the other academy. Even the master can't make much change." Liang Yi said calmly.
Chen Mu's heart suddenly sank.
Something unexpected happened while refining the elixir and accumulating Dao power? !
"You should have seen that Yuquan Mountain is full of vitality, and its spiritual springs are really good." Liang Yi sighed: "This is no longer the lower courtyard, but has become the Jilongdao Yuquan Mountain Branch Courtyard."
Chen Mu suddenly realized.
Being called a separate courtyard meant that even if the environment here was not as good as that of the upper courtyard, it was not much worse.
The pie of Yuquan Mountain is too big for Song Wuji to finish alone. It requires the joint efforts of everyone.
With more people involved, the affairs of the villa have to be discussed together.
Chen Mu looked grim.
He originally wanted to quietly make elixirs and accumulate Taoist merit, but he never expected such a sudden change to happen.
"It's up to the Young Supervisor to arrange." Chen Mu bowed respectfully.
He understood that arranging for him to enter Danbao Pavilion was a compensation for the previous Taoist power incident.
Whether you accept it or not, things cannot be changed.

Chapter 310: Alchemy Boy
On the southeast side of Yuquan Mountain, there is a cliff with a vertical drop of seventy to eighty meters.
In the open space below, a group of men in gray clothes and shorts were busy.
Some dug foundations, some erected wooden stakes, some carved doors and windows, and some built walls.
On the cliff five or six meters above the ground, there are caves of different sizes carved out, connected to each other by one-meter-wide stone steps.
Inside a wide cave on the top level.
