Longevity starts with learning

"Senior, please walk slowly..."

The woman bowed respectfully.

Chu Mu walked out of the room and stopped in the hall.

Compared with the tasks reflected in the liaison order, the many tasks in the Contribution Palace are obviously more intuitive and clearer.

On the surrounding screen are various tasks assigned by the Righteous Alliance.

The missions are complex, including frontline fighting, assassination missions, and sabotage and sneak attack missions behind enemy lines, such as patrols and guards.

Just from these tasks, it seems that we can roughly understand the current situation of this war.

It is still unclear about other places. Judging from these missions, in the East Lake area, the Changsheng Sect and the Righteous Alliance are facing each other and fighting on a front that stretches thousands of miles with Jingmen as the center and East Lake as the boundary.

Moreover, the situation has obviously reached a stalemate and turned into a meat grinder-like war of attrition.

He stared at it for a moment before slowly looking away.

Raising his hand, the token appeared in his hand again.

After a while, the token was put away, and he walked out of the contribution hall and walked into the street.

Wandering around the various shops on the street, a very clear reality was also placed in front of him.

The phenomenon of skyrocketing prices that once occurred in the Jade Emperor Valley has become even worse in Shuitianfang.

The prices of finished products such as magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs have almost doubled, and the prices of various spiritual materials and elixirs have also increased a lot.

Judging from what he asked about, it has become a normal thing since the war broke out. Prices have been rising and have never stopped.

Moreover, this is not just a case of Shuitianfang, it is the same in any area affected by war within a radius of thousands of miles.

The war is raging, prices are soaring, and the employment system of the Righteous Alliance has contributed to the treasure trove...

There seem to be many more rare things on the market that were rarely seen in the past.

This is true whether it is a finished elixir, talisman, or spiritual weapon, or some spiritual materials and elixirs.

After wandering around the city, thousands of spiritual stones were scattered, and many vacancies had been filled in the storage rings.

"The mind of the wise."

Stopping in front of a shop at the end of the street, Chu Mu walked into it and looked around. On the shelves, there were many second-level spiritual materials that were rarely seen in the past.

"This piece of blue diamond, crescent jade, and these..."

In a mineral materials store in Fangshi, Chu Mu pointed around the shelves in the store as if scanning goods, and the shopkeepers who followed him took them out respectfully.

Chu Mu asked: "How many spiritual stones are there in total?"

"Reporting back to senior, there are a total of 1,680 low-grade spiritual stones. I will give you, senior, to erase the fraction and count them as 1,600 low-grade spiritual stones."

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a mustache, and his tone is quite respectful.

"OK."

Chu Mu touched his arms and handed over a storage charm.

"If there are any second-level or higher spiritual materials in the future, you can keep them for me."

With that said, Chu Mu handed over another transmission talisman: "You can use this transmission talisman to contact me."

"Senior, are you a weapon refiner?"

The man took the teleportation note and seemed to muster up the courage.

Chu Mu nodded and did not deny it.

The cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm is enough to support his skill.

Revealing your cultivation level is a shock, revealing this skill is an even greater shock.

A foundation-building realm weapon refiner is not too rare, but it is definitely not many.

"May I ask, senior, if there is a place for worship?"

The middle-aged man asked again.

"how?"

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged man with a more profound look.

The middle-aged man asked cautiously: "Senior, if you don't have a place to worship, can you rest in a small shop for a while?"

Then, as if he was afraid that Chu Mu would not want to do it, the middle-aged man immediately added: "As long as senior is willing, senior, you can use our store's resources at will. You only need to buy it at the cost price."

"Senior, don't worry, there will definitely be no restrictions, and it will definitely not cause you any trouble..."

"Your shop belongs to the Xie family, right?"

Chu Mu glanced at the Xie family emblem on the door eaves and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't hide his joy and quickly explained: "I'm ashamed to say that the younger one is just a descendant of the Xie family. This shop was also passed down from my father. The previous weapon refiner unfortunately died in On the battlefield..."

After some explanation, Chu Mu seemed to have some clarity.

The middle-aged man's name is Xie Hui. His perfect Qi training is extremely insignificant in the Xie family's huge family system.

With only four spiritual roots, if his parents hadn't died in an accident decades ago, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to practice.

Fortunately, his parents died early and left no other heirs.

As the only son of his parents, according to Xie family rules, Xie Hui naturally has the right to inherit.

In this way, he can stay in the Xie family and embark on the path to immortality, instead of being driven to the secular world like other clan members who have no spiritual root qualifications, or who have three spiritual root qualifications.

Later, when Xie Hui embarked on the path to immortality, he naturally inherited his inheritance.

However, Xie Hui's cultivation level was low, his qualifications were even lower, and his parents were both dead, so he was helpless in the Xie family.

Although there are family rules for protection, it is obvious that reality cannot be restricted by a few simple rules.

In order to protect himself, he had to give away most of his property.

In the end, this was the only shop that remained. The operator's trading of spiritual materials and customization of magic weapons have remained stable to this day.

Unfortunately, the weapon refiner he had painstakingly recruited some time ago disappeared, and his soul lamp was broken. He was probably killed.

His situation was obviously very embarrassing.

There was no point in recruiting a low-level weapon refiner, and with his cultivation, he could not get in touch with a high-level weapon refiner.

So, this was a desperate attempt to find a cure, and he was recruited to him?

If it were in the past, he would have refused without hesitation.

But now...

Chu Mu looked around the rows of shelves in the store, looking at the various spiritual materials, and was also thoughtful.

Then, he asked: "What is the spiritual material channel of your shop?"

"Reporting to the senior, the spiritual material channel of our shop is generally through the supply system within the family, and we also purchase rare spiritual materials from the outside world. I also know some resellers..."

"If the senior needs any spiritual materials, just tell me. I will never refuse if I can do it!"

"If you can collect all the spiritual materials, Chu will accept the supply of your shop."

Chu Mu handed over a list, his voice flat.

There are not many spiritual materials on this list, only eight in total, one second-level high-quality spiritual material, and the rest are second-level middle and low-quality spiritual materials.

For him in the past, it was very rare.

But judging from the current situation, it should not be difficult to collect them.

But if he is like this, without connections, relying on his own luck, it will obviously be quite cumbersome and troublesome.

He did not want to join the sect or the family, and even the contract just now, he chose an employment contract instead of a more generous guest contract.

The reason is that he doesn't want to be bound or driven by others.

And Xie Hui in front of him has a small shop and weak power.

He can enjoy his offerings without being bound or constrained.

He can also use his personal connections to collect spiritual materials for him...

For him, it should be a good choice.

However, the premise is that it can be useful to him and has no bad intentions towards him.

"Don't worry, senior, give me ten days, and you can come to pick it up after ten days!"

Xie Hui took a look at the list and immediately patted his chest to guarantee.

"Okay."

Chu Mu nodded: "I will come again after ten days."

"Senior, take care."

Xie Hui sent Chu Mu out.

He stopped in front of the door and sensed the number of spiritual stones piled up in the storage ring, as well as many refined magic tools. Then, he went straight to the outside of the market.

According to his previous understanding, there are three black markets within a thousand miles of Shuitianfang.

One is the lake bottom black market he had been to before, and the other two are located in Luofu Mountain.

The lake bottom black market is closer to Shuitianfang, while the other two black markets are quite far away.

According to the situation he had just inquired about in the market, the other two black markets should be close to the front line, and whether they still exist is also an unknown matter.

The lake bottom black market is in the rear.

All three black markets are the goals of his trip.

When he first entered the foundation building, he was almost penniless in another reincarnation. He lacked more than a little.

"I hope I can gain something..."

Stopping outside the market, he sighed, then grabbed Wangcai, jumped up, flew up, and soon disappeared between the sky...
