Immediately he shook his head and laughed.
How could the two fat guys Shang Huan and Jia Tian have that ability? This is almost shaking up the situation in Dongling. It can't be that serious...
"How about you wait for two more days?" the shopkeeper suggested.
"Forget it, just wrap it up for me." Chen Mu shook his head.
At this rate, the longer you wait, the more expensive it will be.
While the waiter was filling out the prescription, Chen Mu asked the dark and thin shopkeeper, "Is it safe to follow the transport team back to Yuquan Mountain now?"
"It's a bit troublesome, but it's still safe. After all, we have the patrol office to escort us." The shopkeeper said, "At most, we have to be on guard against harassment at all times, so the speed will be a bit slower."
Chen Mu couldn't help but nodded.
If the situation remains turbulent and it is dangerous to fly alone, you can go back with the team transporting supplies.
Although it takes more than ten days to go back and forth, buying the Peiyuan Pill will at least not affect the subsequent one month of practice.
After chatting with the old shopkeeper for a while and finding out where to contact the transport team, Chen Mu prepared to leave the village with half a sack of medicinal materials in his left hand and a basket of meat in his right hand.
But just as he reached the door, he saw a dishevelled group of people coming towards him.
Four seven-star centipedes with scars, missing legs and broken tails slowly crawled over with a weak look.
The followers on both sides were all covered in blood, and many of them even had missing limbs.
This... is this the late transport team?
Chen Mu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, after paying attention for a few days, the situation became worse and worse.
Several teams were attacked in succession, resulting in heavy casualties.
The local monks of Dongling launched a frenzied revenge against Jilong Dao.
"It's so dangerous, it's not easy to go back to Yuquan Mountain." Chen Mu sighed.
Given the increasingly chaotic situation, it might not be safe to follow the transport team protected by the Inspection Office, not to mention him running away alone.
Thinking about the fact that I had stopped using the Condensation Qi Method for several days, the braised pork that had been simmering in the furnace in front of me for two hours was still... fragrant.
But no matter how delicious the braised pork was, it couldn't stop him from being afraid of the grumpy old man Sun Jian who held the Kuishui Yin Lei in his hand.
After eating two large bowls of braised pork with sour beans, the worry and depression in my heart finally eased a little.
"It would be great if Yingchouya had a pill that could replace Peiyuan Dan." Chen Mu thought hopefully.
Then a medicine called Huiyuan Soup popped into his mind... er, a recipe? !
Chen Mu brought up the gray wall with a strange look on his face.
Cooking skills: 13/10000/level ;
"what!"
"What an unexpected surprise!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 351 Third Level
"A full pot of water, a hundred kilograms of exotic beast meat, an appropriate amount of salt, and seventeen kinds of medicinal herbs and spices."
Chen Mu put the ingredients into the Lihuobei pot little by little with a strange look on his face.
“Bring it to a boil over high heat first, and then simmer over low heat.” Thinking about the method of making Huiyuan Soup, Chen Mu's face became more and more strange.
I was worrying about the stagnation in my practice before, but I didn’t expect that a bowl of broth would solve the problem.
"Some medicinal herbs are quite precious, but at least they can be bought."
"There are disciples from other courtyards at the foot of the mountain who raise pigs and rabbits, so it's easier to buy meat. You can even raise them yourself."
Chen Mu was calculating happily.
"It's important to know how to cook. You never know when a surprise will pop up."
Cover the pot and move a rocking chair to sit next to the stove.
Chen Mu controlled his magic power and poured it into the Lihuobei cauldron.
Before long, bubbles began to gurgle in the pot.
After stewing for two hours and removing the foam from the water, Chen Mu stood in front of the stove again.
He took a deep breath and uttered a long curse.
The sound was like thousands of people chanting, low and eerie.
A strange force appeared out of nowhere and fell into the pot.
The broth, which had originally calmed down, suddenly began to swirl slowly.
Then wisps of purple-red liquid separated from the vortex ripples and rose into the air, slowly gathering half a meter above.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Chen Mu looked at the thick broth about the size of a fist and a half in the small white porcelain bowl and marveled at it.
"Is this Hui Yuan Soup? If it weren't for the absence of grains, I would have thought it was a bowl of Eight Treasure Porridge."
Stirring with a spoon, Chen Mu put half a spoonful into his mouth and immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Hey! This thick soup is quite delicious."
After thinking about it, he felt relieved.
Although Huiyuan Soup is very tonic and can even replace Peiyuan Pills, it is a dish after all, so it is normal for it to taste good.
One mouthful at a time, the small bowl of warm Huiyuan soup was quickly finished.
The stomach soon felt warm and the warmth slowly spread to the whole body.
After a short while, a little sweat appeared on his forehead, and he felt energetic and relaxed all over!
“This feeling…is it done!”
Chen Mu was delighted.
"Practice, practice!"
……
For several days, except when he went down the mountain to buy meat, Chen Mu stayed in the wooden building on the mountainside, making meat soup and practicing all day long.
After reciting the inexplicable spell again.
Chen Mu's heart moved and he couldn't help but look at the gray wall.
Seven-turn feasting spell: 13/10000;
"On the list?"
Chen Mu suddenly realized.
After days of continuous use, this mysterious spell finally revealed its true nature.
The name has been placed on the grey wall, and a corner of the talisman inside the jade has also been completed.
"Now I don't have to worry about Peiyuan Pills."
Over the past few days, he maintained his usual training rhythm, and not only did his body not become depleted, but it became even stronger.
"It's just a bit of waste meat."
Chen Mu took the chopsticks and poked into the cauldron in front of him.
The pork and rabbit meat that could have broken a tempered steel knife was now easily broken apart by a bamboo chopstick.
Pick up one and put it in your mouth.
Pooh!
Chen Mu couldn't help but grin.
It was rotten and tasteless, just like eating a mouthful of mud.
It was as if all the essence had been sucked out, leaving only a pile of dregs.
"These more than 100 kilograms of meat can only be thrown away." Chen Mu shook his head.
Fortunately, the meat of exotic animals is not expensive.
One piece of white jade can buy seven or eight kilograms of pork and rabbit meat, and one hundred kilograms is only worth twelve or thirteen pieces of white jade.
One hundred kilograms of meat combined with seven or eight white jade medicinal herbs can make a bowl of Huiyuan Soup, which is enough for his day's practice.
Three days of practice would cost at most sixty to seventy white jades.
One Peiyuan Pill is required every three days and each pill costs two hundred white jades.
The cost of one day is equivalent to three days of returning to Yuantang.
The key is that it requires additional payment of Taoist power!
"Who cares? I'm not buying it anyway."
Wouldn't it be better to save up that skill and buy some powerful secret techniques?
"However, I still need to continue to work on Pei Yuan Dan."
Huiyuan Decoction has good effects, but it is not durable.
It's fine for a day or two, but after three to five days, the taste will change and the effect will be greatly reduced.
Besides, we have already analyzed the talismans for taking in the essences of the seven medicines. It would be a pity to give up now.
"I figured it out just to make a supplement."
"If I go on a long journey that day, I won't be able to make Huiyuan Soup in time."
……
More than half a month later, in the northern district of Shanxiafang City.
Butcher Lu was wearing a hide apron, bloodstained hide gloves, and had a new knife.
