Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this old man saw some flaw?
“Your magical ghost pattern…” Goatee took a deep breath: “It’s really beautifully drawn!”
Chen Mu: “…”
Seeing Chen Mu standing there in a daze, the old man with the goatee smiled with satisfaction and continued to tease him happily.
"I've seen many people draw ghost patterns, but I haven't seen many who draw better than you."
"This reminds me of a guest I met a few months ago. He also drew a flower ornament on his forehead. Just two strokes made it look like a divine eye. It was simple and elegant."
"Of course, you're not bad, but a little too showy!"
Pretty as hell!
Chen Mu's mouth twitched.
I knew it, I have practiced my drawing skills for many years, how could this old man easily see the flaws?
After all this time, it turned out to be just the old man's evil taste of playing tricks on people.
Chen Mu put a box of Jade Dew on the counter and said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense and give me the Flying Flame Sutra!"
The old man with goat beard was not angry. He slowly opened the box and examined the jade dew beads.
He counted the grains one by one, and after a while of busy work, he finally took out a black leather scripture from under the counter.
Chen Mu reached out to take it, but the old man held down the second half of the scripture and refused to let go.
"Don't rush to take it away. Wait until I explain the taboos to you clearly, then you can start using it." The man with a goatee looked solemn.
"The Flying Flame Sutra practices the origin of the green flame. This flame burns everything and is difficult to control. It is easy to burn the origin when practicing."
“You have to start small and slowly grow the flame.”
"Once you have mastered it thoroughly, you can use it to refine the power of the Yin spirits, remove the dross and retain the essence to refine the magical ghost patterns. The whole process is extremely painful, and there is a great risk of failure."
"What will happen if we fail?" Chen Mu frowned slightly.
During this period of time, he did not do nothing. At least he had mastered the control of the Yin spirit's power.
Based on his own years of cultivation experience, compared to magic power, the power of the Yin spirit is more like physical strength, which seems to involve the origin of the Yin spirit. Using fire to forge the power is almost like using fire to forge the body of the Yin spirit, which is very dangerous.
The goatee shook his head and sighed: "At the very least, he could be seriously injured and disabled, at the worst, his soul could be torn apart."
Chen Mu's face changed.
This secret method is indeed dangerous!
"Is there any way to reduce the risk?" he asked.
"Of course there is." The man with goatee nodded.
"Eat more Jade Dew before practicing to replenish your essence. Prepare some water from the Wangchuan River. Once you feel that the Blue Flame is out of control, quickly pour it into your stomach."
"Although this will corrode the body and make recovery difficult, it is better than dying."
Chen Mu nodded when he heard that.
Seeing Chen Mu's solemn expression, Goatee couldn't help but smile: "Of course, if you can change to a more advanced and detailed secret method, there will naturally be no such risks."
"I have a copy of the Hidden Moon Secret Book here. It is safe and secure, with no hidden dangers."
"Only three thousand Jade Dews are needed to help you easily complete the cultivation of the magical ghost pattern."
"How about taking a look?"
Chen Mu's face suddenly turned dark.
I thought you said so much because you were thinking about my safety, but I didn't expect that you were actually thinking about my money!
You are selling your products to me!
He grabbed the Feiyan Sutra and turned away.
The goatee wasn't annoyed, and shouted behind him with a smile: "If you can continue practicing, practice. If you can't, come back and change with me."
"I won't let you waste the money for the Feiyan Sutra. I'll give you a 50% discount and cash back!"
Chen Mu's face turned even darker now.
He is so skilled in sales talk and can even get cash back. Is he sure he will come back to exchange?
What the hell!
Could it be that there are really hidden dangers in practicing the "Flying Flame Sutra"?
……
Opposite Guyuezhai is Baihe Teahouse.
A short and fat man with a round face was sitting at a square table by the railing on the first floor. He was listening to the sound of the book while his eyes were fixed on the entrance of Gu Yue Zhai opposite.
Not long after, a young man in brown shorts came hurriedly out of Guyuezhai.
"Is there anyone going to buy the Flying Flame Sutra?" The round-faced man had a strange look on his face.
The young man in brown shorts gloated: "That's right."
"Another one who is eager for quick success."
"Who in Jigu City doesn't know how difficult it is to practice that thing?"
"Instead of wasting that money, it's better to save up for a few years and buy a better secret book. It's safer to get it done in one go."
"Of course, it's better to go with the army. The secret teachings in the City Lord's Mansion are truly high-end."
The round-faced man raised his eyebrows.
The experienced people in Jigu City do know how to choose. But what if this person is a newcomer who has just arrived and is not well-informed?
His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Niu Sanmiao really picked up a ruthless person this time? The kind of ruthless person who dared to rob the ghost soldiers just after crawling out of the Wangchuan River?
"Where are the people?" He became interested.
"Look, the one with a red flower on his forehead, he's easy to recognize." The young man in brown raised his chin, then shook his head and sighed, "Another guy who's crazy about supernatural powers."
"Tsk tsk, don't tell me, the painting is quite bright!"
The round-faced man quickly turned his head and saw a tall, thin middle-aged man in gray clothes.
The other person had a stern expression, with a gorgeous red flower pattern on his forehead, and a look that said "keep away from me".
"What a pity..." The round-faced man was immediately disappointed.
He thought he could extort more money from Niutou, but unfortunately, the tall, thin, middle-aged man's face had never appeared in his memory.
"Okay, I'll go back and keep an eye on it for you." The young man in brown shrugged.
The round-faced man smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and threw a small gray cloth bag to the other party.
"Thank you for the reward, Fifth Brother!" The young man in brown put it away skillfully, drank the tea in the cup in front of him in one gulp, turned around and ran back to Guyuezhai.
The round-faced man listened to the rhythmic storytelling behind him and shook his head slightly: "Looks like I have to keep an eye on it for a few more days."
……
Walking on the busy streets of Jiugu City, Chen Mu felt more and more that something was wrong.
"I'm afraid this Flying Flame Sutra is really going to cause trouble."
When he first arrived in the strange netherworld, he was always thinking about mastering the power as soon as possible so that he could return to the living world. In his haste, he could not help but think incompletely.
Looking back now, I feel that my previous actions were a bit hasty.
The joy of having just bought the secret technique disappeared in an instant.
"Forget it, let's practice first and see."
"Fortunately, I have pushed the Dew Gathering Spell to its limit. With this secret method of making money, it will only take a few months at most."
Chen Mu sighed, slowed down his pace, and looked around at the busy street scene to relieve his restlessness. While looking around aimlessly, a store suddenly came into view.
Looking at the golden words on the black plaque, he felt a sense of familiarity for no reason.
"Yupinxuan..."
"It seems like I've seen it somewhere before?"
Chen Mu walked forward curiously, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a fair-faced middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind the counter.
The other person was dressed in white and had a calm expression, giving people an overall sense of gentleness and stability, which made people feel at ease at a glance.
But Chen Mu frowned tightly, and he felt more and more as if he had seen this person somewhere before.
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly looked up, was slightly startled when he saw Chen Mu, and then smiled gently.
"Brother Chen?"
"It's been a long time since we last met..."
Chen Mu's whole body suddenly shook violently, and he almost regained his body to give this guy a few hits with his flying sword!
This is the underworld, and he has changed his appearance, but the other party can call out his last name with just one word? !
Chen Mu's heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
"You are, Le Yangan?!"
After a long while, Chen Mu took a deep breath and came back to his senses, and finally remembered this person's identity.
The other party was Le Yang'an, the owner of Yupinxuan, who was first seen on the Baizhu boat in the lower courtyard of Tongtian River.
At the beginning, he was still weak, and in order to earn white jade money, he rubbed a lot of mind-condensing pills. For safety reasons, he deliberately sold them separately. In addition to the part given to Shang Huan, the rest was sold to Yupinxuan.
Later, the two lower houses of Tongtian River and Lengyue Mountain were destroyed one after another, and Chen Mu followed Song Wuji to Tianhe Water Palace for temporary residence. There, he met Le Yangan for the second time.
This is the third time in this ghost world.
Although they were not close friends, Chen Mu still couldn't help but feel a huge sense of joy in his heart.
In this strange and dark world, it really made him feel at ease to see an acquaintance.
"Although the environment is not very suitable, I still want to say that I'm very happy to meet you again." Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.
