"Vice-Court Director Sun has held more than ten gatherings in Wuyan Mountain."
"Most of the participants were from the Inspection Office. They were the first to attack the Yanxia Sect, and they probably stole a lot of good stuff."
"To sell stolen goods." Chen Mu understood.
"Not bad." Bai Xiuwen nodded.
"I asked two participants and they praised the forum."
"Three days ago, I sneaked in to take a look."
Chen Mu couldn't help but look sideways.
I just asked you to get some information, but you went there in person and invested so much money?
Bai Xiuwen laughed and said, "Except for using the discussion of the Dao as a cover, it looks like a store in Yuquanfang."
"I guess this small discussion meeting was secretly organized by the Inspection Office, General Affairs Office, and Sutra Teaching Institute, otherwise how could they dare to be so blatant."
Of course there is a backer behind the party.
The deputy mayor Sun showed off his family background to him to tell him that discussing Taoism would be safe if he had a background.
“The people inside are genuine and enthusiastic, and their words are pleasant to hear.”
"The stuff is pretty good too, there are all kinds of secret techniques, magic tools and medicinal herbs, insect repellent pills, etc."
"Except for the need to use Taoist skills, everything else is fine." Bai Xiuwen said with regret: "You really should go and take a look."
After working hard on refining pills for a month and a half, Chen Mu felt a little annoyed.
With a backer and praise from participants, Bai Xiuwen even went to investigate personally, and it seemed that the small discussion meeting was indeed very safe.
"I'll go take a look later." Chen Mu spread his hands, took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Xiuwen.
"It contains my understanding of the golden bead talisman. Perhaps it can help you condense the talisman."
Even though Bai Xiuwen always controlled his emotions, he couldn't help but let a smile appear on his face at this moment.
I'm busy running around and investigating everywhere, all for the purpose of learning how to make elixirs.
Follow the right person!
Senior Brother Qi is not so generous!
"Thank you, senior brother!" Bai Xiuwen immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.
Chen Muhun waved his hand nonchalantly: "As long as you are satisfied."
However, I only understand the golden bead talisman, and it doesn’t even involve the refining of the fasting pill.
Chen Mu felt it was a good deal to exchange this information for Bai Xiuwei's help in gathering information.
In the past, when you went to a teahouse to collect information, didn’t you have to buy some tea and snacks?
Of course, the fact that he stole other people’s snack recipes is another matter.
……
There is an open square on the southern hillside of Wuyan Mountain, with a five-meter-wide stone staircase on the north and south sides, extending to the top and foot of the mountain respectively.
A circle of buildings of varying heights are built around the square, which was the main activity area for the former Yanxia Sect disciples.
In the southwest corner there is a two-story building with white walls and black tiles.
The entire second floor is transparent from left to right, with no partitions except for a few load-bearing columns.
"Everyone, a new comrade will be joining us soon." Sun Wuhuan said with a serious expression.
"This fellow is an alchemist, so you should be polite to him." He glared at the dozen or so people in the room and warned them.
"What a pity! A potential wealthy customer..."
"Alas, I just made up a little story about the origin of the magic weapon last night. It won't be useful now."
"Du Yuan, we can not fool him, but you can't stop him from buying goods, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, what if he buys it on his own initiative?" A group of people talked at once to test it.
Sun Wuhuan widened his eyes and looked at everyone with a serious expression.
The crowd that was in chaos just now suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Sun Wuhuan suddenly grinned: "I want you to show your best skills and trick me as hard as you can!"
"Let him eat as much as he can from your hands."
"He ate until he was full, ate until his throat was full, and ate until all the more than 4,000 Dao Gong in his pocket were used up!"
Everyone: "..."
"what!"
"Don't worry, Duyuan, we will definitely treat this sucker well! Haha..."
Chen Mu, who just came downstairs: "..."
Is it too late for me to leave now?
"Hey! Isn't this Junior Brother Chen? Come up quickly!" At the second-floor window, Sun Wuhuan's fat face was full of a warm smile.
"The tea is ready, and all the friends are here, we are just waiting for you!"
The corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched suddenly.
……
"Fellow Daoist, it's nothing to spend a little Dao skill. If you learn my Yinfeng Ghost Howl secret method, your Qi will be long-lasting and your alchemy will be smoother. Wouldn't it be worth it if you make a few furnaces of elixirs?"
"Fellow Daoist, you must learn how to allocate your Dao power. Save half to resist risks, and spend the other half boldly to enhance your own safety. Wear my three-color earthen tortoise armor, and you won't be afraid of the alchemy furnace exploding!"
"The alchemy furnace exploded? Fellow Daoist, please consider using the unique yellow mud alchemy furnace in Dongling..."
"The alchemist's secret notes, the ciphertext records, you deserve it..."
Chen Mu felt like his face was about to freeze from smiling.
Looking at the comrades with eager eyes.
I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of insurance salesmen.
There's nowhere to escape!
He quickly bought the alchemist's notebook full of scribbles and ran away in shame.
If he stayed any longer, he was really afraid that he would be tricked by this group of people and become a pauper.
……
Late at night, under the foggy mountain.
In a four or five-meter-high arched tunnel, footsteps suddenly sounded.
The faint green light spread from far away to near, little by little.
Xin Ya, wearing an emerald green robe, with white hair and beard, and looking like a child of eleven or twelve years old, was flying in the air.
Three flames the size of human heads burned silently behind him, illuminating the cave.
"This altar tunnel was not dug recently, was it?" Xinya squinted at the burly man beside him and asked, "Have you already set up the Yin-Yang Transformation Forbidden Spell in Wuyan Mountain?"
Wei Donglai's tattooed face was expressionless: "It's just a mine."
"Ah……"
“If your disciples and the mountain people under your rule knew that you, the leader of the Wei sect, have been treating them as sacrifices, I wonder how they would feel.” Xinya sneered.
Wei Donglai rolled his eyes and glanced at Xin Ya: "It's probably similar to what those disciples and mountain people in the Hundred Insects Valley who were planted with poisonous insects by you think."
Xinya paused, snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Soon, the two came to the end of the tunnel.
"The altar tunnel still needs to be dug, but Liu Ling is on the mountain, and the secret bombardment can be easily detected. I need your insect puppets to help me dig the hole." Wei Donglai pulled out a roll of animal skin from his waist and handed it to Xinya.
"After this is done, I want half of the Hunyuan Qi." Xinya pinched the animal skin and stared at Wei Donglai.
Wei Donglai glanced at Xin Ya.
"The spiritual power of a mountain will bring a large amount of Hunyuan Qi, enough for three or five people to refine their spirits." Wei Donglai didn't care: "I only want my share."
"As for the rest, as long as you can keep it and take it away, you are free to do as you please."
A smile suddenly appeared on Xinya's wrinkled face.
With a move of his right hand, a handful of black beetles appeared.
He casually threw it into the green flames behind him and burned it to ashes.
Accompanied by dots of emerald green fluorescence, ashes quickly spread into the cave.
stomping on...
A series of orderly footsteps came from far away.
One by one, figures wearing tattered animal skins and with dull expressions walked out of the tunnel.
Five strong men walked out of the crowd and went straight to the end of the tunnel. They raised their hands and gently probed the hard soil.
The palm with black nails was like a sharp sword, which penetrated into the wall of the cave and quickly dug out a piece of soil.
The follow-up personnel stepped forward without saying a word, filled a bamboo basket with soil and handed it to the person behind him.
In this way, one person passed the message to another, and they actually formed a hole-digging assembly line using manpower.
The tunnel was suddenly pushed forward rapidly.
"There is no fluctuation of magic power and the noise is small. Now we don't have to worry about being discovered." Wei Donglai nodded with satisfaction.
Xinya glanced at Wei Donglai, his face full of satisfaction: "Don't worry. With these insect puppets, they will definitely be able to dig out the forbidden altar for you without anyone noticing!"
As soon as the words fell, a slight invisible wave suddenly swept past.
It was like an invisible giant ball that suddenly spread out from the two of them.
Xinya froze.
Discovered?!
