I have a two world clock

Chapter 301 Cognitive Bias
"Is this gourd the legendary panacea?"

Jiang Mingyue held a palm-sized yellow-skinned gourd and looked at it carefully. The gourd's tentacles were warm and moist, like topaz carvings, exuding a gleaming luster. Just looking at the appearance, it looked very good.

"It's not a panacea, it's just a very common foundation-building pill in the practice world."

Li Mu's Gourd Foundation Building Pill was refined by Hu Yunniang.

Many of Hu Yunniang's maids and servants are people in the martial arts world. Their martial arts skills are considered good in this world, but compared with monks, they are nothing short of shit.

In order to improve the strength of these servants, Hu Yunniang specifically asked Gu Qingcheng for a pill recipe and refined many pills for these people. This Foundation Building Pill was just one of them.

The Tianhe Sword Sect's foundation-building elixir has a great reputation in the entire cultivation world, especially since the elixir contains the Tianyi Divine Water from the Tianhe River and the Three Lives Lotus from Hell. Not to mention ordinary warriors, it is from major sects. It is difficult to obtain a Qi Refiner without the opportunity.

After taking the elixir, these servants of Li Mu became lighter and stronger, and they all had the appearance of practitioners, which did not hinder Li Mu.

At least these servants were able to do the things that Hu Yunniang had to do before.

Li Mu didn't know much about the world of cultivation. Since he went to the Yin Dynasty, he had come into contact with monsters like Hu Yunniang who cultivated human form. After that, he killed the Yin God, killed the city god, made friends with the brothers of Emperor Wenchang, and rescued Gu Qingcheng broke into the Demon Dragon Palace again and obtained a large amount of treasure.

Later, he fought with the Huang family and directly faced the immortals and demons. He was not at a disadvantage and could always turn danger into safety.

This caused him to have a huge misjudgment of the strength of the Da Yin Dynasty's cultivation world. He subconsciously felt that the monks in the Da Yin Dynasty were very powerful and were far from being easily provoked by him.

Therefore, he has always felt that these so-called panacea, cultivation techniques, etc., are not lacking in most practicing sects. Otherwise, how could they be passed down for thousands of years without decay?

But the real situation is that although there are many practicing sects in the Great Yin Dynasty, the only ones with real inheritance and foundation are the nine sects and thirteen sects. As for the 81 sects below, they are constantly changing.

Even the Thirteen Great Cultivation Sects will be in danger of being wiped out.

Just like before the rise of the Tianhe Sword Sect, there was no such sect as the Tianhe Sword Sect in the world.

But Gu Changmei, with his unparalleled talent, realized Taoism in Tianhe, swept the world with his sword, forcefully opened up a sword cultivation sect, dominated the world, and became the leader of the thirteen major sects.

But even though Gu Changmei's fierce and heroic demeanor refused to let others go, he still had to retreat when facing the nine major sects.

The world is constantly changing, and sects in the world of spiritual practice are rising and falling. Many sects have disappeared into the dust of history, but only the nine major sects have always stood firm.

Compared with behemoths like the Nine Sects and Thirteen Sects, ordinary practicing sects are not as powerful as Li Mu imagined.

For example, when Qingyang Mountain faced Venerable Buddha Tu, it was able to use the Pure Yang Bell to deal with it, and it was able to defeat the living gods and demons. This kind of background is definitely not something that people from small sects can possess.

In fact, ordinary monk sects, let alone facing masters at the demon-conquering level such as Lord Futu, are still unable to cope with ordinary Nascent Soul monsters.

A master of cultivation at the Nascent Soul level is enough to control a sect and can also conquer a sect.

The "ordinary Foundation Building Pill" in Li Mu's mouth is really unusual for some small sects. It may take a lot of effort to collect the materials for making the pill, and then risk refining it to waste. In alchemy, it is possible to refine it several times, but it is difficult to succeed even once.

Therefore, Foundation Building Pills have always been expensive in the world of cultivation. After all, the first step in cultivation is to start with Foundation Building. If you cannot build the Foundation, you will not be able to open the Spiritual Bridge, and it will be difficult to reconcile with heaven and earth, and you will not be able to If it pulls the spiritual energy from around the sky, it will naturally make it impossible to practice Qi.

This is the most critical step, and it is also the watershed between mortals and Qi refiners.

If you can successfully build the foundation, your life will be extended for at least a hundred years.

In a sense, the Foundation-Building Pill and the Life-Extension Pill also have the same purpose.

It is normal for the price of elixirs that can extend one hundred years of life to be high.

Li Mu has unparalleled qualifications. He practices Qi and cultivates bravely and diligently. He does not need the foundation-building pill at all. Hu Yunniang beside him can refine the body and achieve human life, and her qualifications are not bad. Not to mention Gu Qingcheng, whose qualifications are also first-rate.

When people like them practice, they have a solid foundation and few sluggishness, so they don't need to take pills to improve their cultivation.

Therefore, for them, the Foundation Establishment Pill is basically a dispensable thing, and naturally they don't pay much attention to it.

Just like a billionaire, he doesn't care about thousands of dollars at all, but for a beggar who doesn't have enough to eat, even a few dollars, let alone thousands of dollars, is a lot of money. It takes a few heads to get it.

"This elixir is so powerful, but it can only be regarded as ordinary in the world of cultivation?"

Jiang Mingyue held the yellow-skinned gourd and asked in surprise: "Then what kind of elixir is the real panacea?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said: "A pill that can give life to dead people, whiten flesh and bones, eliminate three corpses, destroy five insects, cut off cause and effect, and escape from the world of mortals is a real panacea."

Jiang Mingyue was confused: "Good guy, does this magic pill you talk about make you an immortal immediately after taking one bite?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "The elixir that can make a person become an immortal immediately can only be regarded as an elixir at best, but it is not a miracle medicine. The real elixir is for immortals and Buddhas. It can turn three corpses into one, unite the great road, and even one A pill can evolve into a small world, that is the real supreme elixir!"

Jiang Mingyue found it difficult to understand: "Elixir? Small world? Are you talking about an elixir or a magic weapon?"

Li Mu said: "A true elixir can also be regarded as a magic weapon in itself."

His cultivation is getting deeper now, and his vision and knowledge are far better than before. Especially after he got a picture of "Emperor Hengtian Killing the Turtle", he understood the extremely mysterious artistic conception from this picture, and unknowingly got the picture from Emperor Hengtian. wonderful inheritance.Therefore, now he has a higher focus, and his definition of panacea has already surpassed that of most practitioners.

In the world of the Great Yin Dynasty, just one pill of the gourd foundation-building pill refined by Hu Yunniang could be exchanged for at least several mountains and various refining materials.

It's just that Li Mu himself didn't like the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he didn't ask Hu Yunniang and others about the value of the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he offered such a low price.

However, in Jiang Mingyue's eyes, the price of this elixir was scary enough.

"Forget it, I don't understand what you are talking about. Let's talk about how to deal with these pills."

Jiang Mingyue raised the yellow-skinned gourd in her hand: "Do you really want to exchange ten of these Foundation Establishment Pills for a mountain?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "Yes, this is the lowest price. If you have the ability to go higher, the extra money will be yours."

Jiang Mingyue suddenly became excited: "This is a big deal!"

Their Mingyue Group has developed for so many years and has tens of thousands of employees. It is considered a well-known company in the entire Hedong Province. But even so, I am afraid that even if all the assets are packaged and sold, they will not be able to afford this gourd elixir.

As the heir to Mingyue Group, Jiang Mingyue had a quick mind. After knowing the value of this gourd elixir, she immediately knew that this was an opportunity specially given to her by Li Mu.

If she becomes Li Mu's spokesperson for selling elixirs in the future, then she will come into contact with a group of people that were difficult to reach before, and she will still be in a dominant position. I believe that Mingyue Group will have greater room for development in the future.

Originally, Mingyue Group's development in Hedong had reached a difficult point, and it was difficult to break through Hedong Province and establish branches in other provinces.

Local protectionism has always existed. Mingyue Group's backing is not big enough and its power is not strong enough. It can still make some efforts in the three-thirds of an acre of Hedong Province, but once it leaves Hedong, it will be under pressure from all aspects, and it is difficult to distinguish. The province grows and develops.

And Li Mu handed over the elixir business to her. It can be expected that the development of Mingyue Group will no longer be restricted by geography.

After Li Mu handed the elixir to Jiang Mingyue, he also gave her Shao Hechuan's mobile phone number: "This is the current head of the Special Affairs Bureau. You can contact him first and tell him your identity."

At this time, the car had arrived at Mingquan Lake. Li Mu opened the door and got out of the car, waving to Jiang Mingyue: "You go about your business first."

Jiang Mingyue poked her head out of the car window: "Hey, where are you going?"

Li Mu said: "Go home!"

"Go home? Go back to Taocheng?"

"Yeah, there's something going on at home, I'll go take care of it."

"Okay, give me a call when you get home."

Jiang Mingyue was not the clingy type. After Li Mu left, she was just a little disappointed for a moment and then became excited.

The elixir that Li Mu gave her gave her endless motivation. After all, she had never experienced this kind of elixir for a mountain.

According to the contact information Li Mu left for her, Jiang Mingyue dialed Shao Hechuan's phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Shao? I am Jiang Mingyue, yes, I am Li Mu's friend. He gave me a gourd of elixirs, He said he wanted me to talk to you about these elixir transactions..."

Not long after the call, Jiang Mingyue met a young woman in the office of Mingyue Hotel.

This woman has short ear-length hair and is dressed in professional attire. She has a middle-to-upper-class appearance but has sharp eyes. At first glance, she looks like an extremely shrewd person.

"Ms. Jiang, please introduce yourself. My name is Shen Qingyi."

After shaking hands with Jiang Mingyue, the young woman sat across from her and said with a smile: "Before I came, Mr. Shao specifically told me that Miss Jiang and Mr. Li are a perfect match because of their talent and appearance."

As she spoke, she took out a document from her bag: "This is the deed of a villa on the hillside of Jade Buddha Mountain in Wencheng. The spatial view of this villa is not too bad. If Miss Jiang and Mr. Li go to Jade Buddha Mountain, It can also be regarded as a temporary place to stay if you are hiking and looking far."

She gently pushed the house deed on the table and pushed it in front of Jiang Mingyue: "It's the first time we meet, it's just a matter of affection, not respect."

Jiang Mingyue was stunned and hesitated for a moment. Then she took the house deed in her hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a chuckle: "This is not a small gift. Such a large villa is located on the southern slope of Jade Buddha Mountain. Built next to a stream, it has good Feng Shui, and money can’t buy it.”

Jade Buddha Mountain is one of the most representative natural landscapes in Wencheng. It is located in the south of Wencheng. Although it is not high, the scenery is excellent.

There are seven springs on the mountain, winding down the mountain. There are many flowers, birds and animals in the mountain. There is a Jade Buddha Temple on the mountain. In the temple, three extremely tall Jade Buddhas carved from a single piece of jade are enshrined. They are prestigious cultural relics at home and abroad.

Two of the seven springs in Jade Buddha Mountain are actually hot springs.

The scenery of Jade Buddha Mountain is good, the environment is quiet, the air is fresh, and it is known as Wencheng's natural oxygen bar.

Later, Nanshan was developed into a hot spring resort center for leaders to rest and recuperate. Ordinary people were not qualified to build houses on the south slope.

This is no longer something that can be done with or without money. It requires people with power and talent to do it.

Shen Qingyi gave Jiang Mingyue a south slope villa as a meeting gift, which was not a small gift.
