"The title of Doctor of Scriptures is surprisingly useful." Chen Mu thought happily.
The Sutra Library in the other courtyard has a similar structure to the Tongtian River Lower Courtyard, but is larger in scale.
Inside is a miniature of a thousand-mile courtyard. From the outside, it looks like an exquisite wooden building in the mountains, but inside it is like a large square.
On the third floor, in front of the bookshelf of medicinal herbs and pills, Chen Mu skillfully pulled out a bright yellow silk scroll and looked at it.
In order to find a way to strengthen his body, he has come to Tianyi Pavilion for three consecutive days.
Holding the scroll, he quickly immersed himself in it.
He didn't come back to his senses until he heard the clear and pleasant sound of wind chimes.
At this time, the jade tube buried in the ceiling of the house glowed slightly.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky was gradually getting dark.
"What a pity..." Chen Mu frowned.
He researched for three days and found a lot of knowledge about planting and cultivating various medicinal herbs.
There is only sporadic information on prescriptions and pills that can strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy.
They are all prescriptions similar to Shiquan Dabu Tang. Even if they are useful, they are limited.
"I need to ask someone."
There are too many and too diverse books in the Sutra Academy, and it is too inefficient to look up information by yourself.
……
On the east side of the first floor of Tianyi Pavilion, there is a row of nine small compartments.
There are hollow wooden windows on both sides of the compartment door, and a white jade bead curtain is hung on the arched moon door in the middle.
Inside, a soft couch, a low table and a copper incense burner can be vaguely seen.
Inside the C-shaped compartment.
Li Changjiu, a man in his forties dressed in black, was reading a blue-covered book.
Hearing the sound of the bead curtain, his eyes turned slightly and he looked at it expressionlessly.
Noticing the jade pendant on Chen Mu's waist, he immediately smiled.
Come to life!
"Junior brother, what's your name?" Li Changjiu put down the book and smiled gently, "Do you have any questions?"
"Excuse me, my last name is Chen." Chen Mu bowed politely and said, "I just need help from Senior Brother Li."
This person is the resident doctor of scripture transmission in the Sutra Transmission Institute, responsible for helping disciples to receive scriptures and resolve their doubts.
"Please speak up, brother. I will tell you everything I know." Li Changjiu said enthusiastically.
To spread the scriptures and resolve doubts is to have the Taoist merit of Baiyu.
"I am currently practicing a secret method to strengthen my body with icy skin and jade-like bones."
"But this secret method consumes too much energy, and the accompanying medicine is not very effective. So..."
"Junior brother, you want to find a way to strengthen your body." Li Changjiu looked at Chen Mu's pale face and immediately understood.
"The secret method of strengthening the body needs to be practiced step by step. Junior brother is too hasty and practices too frequently."
"Just reduce the intensity as appropriate and switch to a better secret medicine for nourishing the essence." Li Changjiu said with a little disappointment.
It's a pity that you are not asking about the secret method of cultivation, and the content cannot be split up, so you have to cheat me by doing it in small amounts and multiple times.
Forget it, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.
Li Changjiu calmed down and thought for a while: "There are quite a few similar soups and pills here in Yuquan Mountain."
"As far as I know, there are seven kinds of decoctions with mediocre effects, five kinds of pills that are slightly better, and the most miraculous ones are the pills made by the alchemist. There are two kinds of them here in the other courtyard."
"Just fifty Dao Gong and one hundred white jades, and I will tell you the list."
"Junior brother, this price is not expensive, right?"
Isn’t this expensive?!
If I want to earn fifty Dao Gong, I have to make a thousand Bigu Pills!
"Brother, are you short of money?"
"I can lend you some first." Li Changjiu smiled and said, "When you return it to me, just give me 20% more."
Chen Mu's mouth twitched.
What is this, a one-stop loan scam?
Doctor of Scripture, is it so easy to make money?
Chen Mu suddenly laughed.
Then, under Li Changjiu's expectant gaze, he took out his identity jade card, pointed at the four characters "Doctor of Scriptures", and said with a smile: "Not expensive, not expensive at all!"
Li Changjiu's face twitched suddenly.
Tsk... now I can't even eat mosquito legs.
I met someone in the same field.
"Okay, just give me five Dao Kungfu." Li Changjiu was not interested.
Now it was Chen Mu's turn to blush.
Ten times the price?
This is such a scam!

Chapter 343 Insight
Yuquan Mountain, General Affairs Office warehouse.
"Two hundred white jades for one hundred Dao skills? One?!" Chen Mu glared at the short and fat warehouse manager with a bad look on his face.
Is this shorty trying to trick me?!
The short and fat warehouse manager said calmly: "You think it's too expensive? If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it!"
"Only the alchemists in the upper courtyard can make the Nine-Four Peiyuan Pill, and the demand is far from enough."
"The ten pills I have were ordered by someone else."
"If that person was not gone, why wouldn't you have it even if you wanted it?" The short and fat warehouse manager looked at Chen Mu sideways and said bluntly.
One thousand Dao Gong...
He has to refine 20,000 fasting pills!
Chen Mu gritted his teeth and handed the identity jade card to the other party.
Save when you should, spend when you should; after all, concentration is what is more important, so you have to buy it no matter how expensive it is.
……
The Jiusi Peiyuandan is the size of a longan, and is green all over, like a transparent jade.
The pill melted in the mouth, and the icy liquid slid down the throat.
But when the medicine fell into the stomach, it suddenly turned into a warm air flow, spreading to all parts of the body.
In an instant, the palms of my hands and soles of my feet became warm and comfortable.
After a while, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.
A sense of relief slowly rises from the bottom of my heart, as if an invisible burden has been lifted.
He stood up and walked to the bronze mirror, and found that in just a short while, a slight blush had appeared on his face.
"It's worth spending these thousand times." Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
"But I don't know how long this Pei Yuan Pill can last."
As long as you continue to condense your acupoints, you must continue to nourish yourself, and you will need a steady supply of Jiusi Peiyuan Pills.
……
Three days later, looking at his pale face in the bronze mirror, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
"Three days?"
"Is it that the Huangquan General Principle consumes a lot of energy, or is it the same for all the acupoint condensation methods?"
According to his current training intensity, he would need at least ten Peiyuan Pills a month!
He thought of what the short warehouse manager said, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Could this bottle of Peiyuan Pill be reserved by Sun Wuhuan?"
That guy has a plump figure and a ruddy face. He must have taken a lot of Peiyuan Pills.
Chen Mu suddenly realized: "No wonder that guy wants to use the small discussion meeting to make money."
The consumption of at least one thousand Dao Gong and two thousand white jades every month is too much for even Sun Wuhuan, a second-generation cultivator.
He took out his jade identity card and exerted a little strength.
A row of small silver characters appeared at the bottom of the landscape painting on the jade plaque - twelve thousand three hundred and seventy-five.
"I thought it was a lot, but after careful calculation, it may not even be enough to buy Peiyuan Pills for a year." Chen Mu was helpless.
The number of tasks for the Bigu Pill is limited, and the maximum number of tasks that can be completed per month is 600.
"We need to cut costs and increase revenue." Chen Mu thought to himself.
If I could research an insect-repellent pill, I could try to exchange it for Taoist skills.
But it would be better to make the Peiyuan Pill by yourself.
In that case, you would probably only need to pay for the raw materials.
Anyway, he has the fasting pills and insect repellent incense, so he is not short of white jade money now.
