"One time?" Bai Xiuwen wondered, "Who would pay this much?"
Chen Mu was also curious.
The price offered by the General Affairs Office is the same as that offered by the outside world. If we double the price, will we still be able to make money?
Feng Haoxiu shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
"I only know that he is a little bald and a little fat."
Fat bald guy?
Chen Mu's face turned strange.
"Young?"
"You know?" Feng Haoxiu was surprised.
I'd rather not know!
This bald little fat guy, is he really doing some unorthodox business? Otherwise, how could he dare to pay such a high price for the essence of grains?
"He's so damn brave!" Chen Mu sighed and shook his head.
Fortunately, Shang Huan was warned before and asked to control Mu Linglang's selling target.
Liang Yi knew about Gongsun Sheng's fake identity.
……
After seeing Bai Xiuwen and the other two off, Chen Mu returned to the alchemy room.
"This trip to Wuyan Mountain is most likely not related to Qi Hui."
"No, not only is it relevant, but it's also very relevant!"
"It's all because Qi Hui's alchemy skills are too poor, otherwise Zhu Yi wouldn't have chosen me!"
"I don't expect you to surpass me, but it would be fine if you can just close the gap a little bit." Chen Mu complained.
I am a new alchemist.
As long as Qi Hui is not too much worse than me, it would be easy to get this lucrative task.
"Qi Hui, ah Qi Hui, I gave you the chance but you didn't make any use of it!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
He really didn't want to go to Wuyan Mountain.
Although Liu Ling was in charge there, it was, after all, a newly conquered territory.
Once it happens again, there will be danger. There is no safe place like Yuquan Mountain.
"Alas... it's a pity that our words don't count." Chen Mu was helpless.
My cultivation level is low and I have no say.
……
The next day, Yuquanfang.
Going to the Misty Mountain is a foregone conclusion.
Chen Mu didn't think any more and started to prepare travel supplies.
Go to Xiuyi Pavilion to get the gray magic trousers.
I went to Baibao Pavilion and bought some detoxifying pills for the poisonous miasma and insects in Dongling.
Put together a living set including pots, pans, tents, bedding, etc.
Buy a bunch of shelf-stable jerky.
I also ordered two baskets of vegetables to be made into dehydrated vegetables.
Finally, Chen Mu arrived at the door of Shang Huan's Qiwu Hall.
He was going to leave Yuquan Mountain for a while, so he had to tell Shang Huan in advance.
Let this fat guy be more restrained in his behavior, otherwise he will not be able to protect him and get into danger.
……
Yuquanfang, the backyard of Qiwutang.
Old Hao was worried: "You are aiding the enemy!"
"If the Inspection Office finds out that you're doing business with those evil people, you'll be doomed!"
Shang Huanle laughed and said, "We only sell things to the mountain people in Dongling. As for who they sell the things to, hehe..."
Mr. Hao couldn't help but glance at Shang Huan.
Those mountain folks were originally related to the Dongling side sects. Many of the mountain folks' children had been studying in those sects since they were young.
Selling it to the mountain people would still be aiding the enemy!
"Mr. Gongsun has warned you not to do business with those unorthodox ways."
"What if he pursues the matter..."
Shang Huan raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "Mr. Gongsun just told me not to sell it to the evil Mu Linglang. But he didn't tell me not to sell the Heaven-Seeing and Earth-Listening Talisman."
"I have completely understood what Mr. Gongsun meant!"
"Mu Linglang is Mr. Gongsun's signature. If he appears in the hands of evildoers, he will be held accountable."
"But for other things, there's absolutely no problem."
"Grain essence, healing medicine, path-finding talismans, all the goods that appear in Yuquanfang can be sold in the mountains!"
"Look, this is such a big business!" Shang Huan's eyes lit up with excitement.
Outside the Qiwu Hall, Chen Mu, who had the Di Ting Fa on his ears, said: "..."
Did you learn this reading comprehension from a monster?!
……
After a while, in the backyard of Qiwu Hall.
"Oh my, Shang Huan, what's wrong with you? Do you want to see a doctor?" Chen Mu pretended to be concerned.
"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy." Shang Huan's face turned pale, and he answered while trying to endure the blackness in front of his eyes.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
He always felt that there was something wrong with the expression of the person in front of him.
"The other courtyard has given me a task to go to Wuyan Mountain to make elixirs. The specific time of my return is uncertain. I came here to let you know."
"If someone really makes things difficult for you, then just close the shop and take a break for a while."
"The situation in the mountains has been a bit unsettled lately, so you'd better not cause any trouble." Chen Mu said meaningfully.
Shang Huan's face suddenly became solemn.
"Don't worry."
"I'm just an honest small businessman. I won't cause any trouble!"
Shang Huan swore solemnly.
Chen Muxu looked at Shang Huan.
It seems that I haven't drawn enough mental strength.
The seven souls return to their origin!

Chapter 323 Revenge
Five days later.
The east gate of Yuquanfang.
More than ten giant centipede-like insects were lying in a row, four or five meters apart.
The centipede is more than 20 meters long, three or four meters tall, and its body is shiny and black.
On both sides of the body are countless long legs with dense branches.
Chen Mu, who had just arrived at the east gate, saw this scene and immediately got goose bumps all over his body.
"There are many poisonous miasma and insects in Dongling. This seven-star centipede is a specialty of Dongling." Bai Xiuwen came to Chen Mu and said.
"They are extremely powerful and fast. They were captured and tamed by our Elder Song Wuji, and are perfect for transporting large quantities of goods."
Chen Mu nodded suddenly.
Song Wuji is indeed an expert in playing with insects.
In the lower courtyard of Tongtian River, a lot of work is done using insects.
……
While the two were chatting, hundreds of people slowly gathered at the East Gate.
Chen Mu discovered that all of these people, regardless of gender, were tall and strong.
Moreover, his temperament revealed a wildness and unrestrainedness, which was very different from the lower house disciples he had met before.
"These people are new from Daqian, right? Why are their figures and temperaments so... unique?" Chen Mu wondered.
"Did you figure it out?" Bai Xiuwen leaned close to Chen Mu and whispered, "I heard there's something wrong with the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Pill."
"After eating it, these people's height and body shape changed to varying degrees."
"Fortunately, my body hasn't been transformed."
"If a demon beast really appears, Pavilion Master will be in trouble."
Is there something wrong with the reincarnation pill?
Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This was the second time he had heard this rumor.
