Longevity starts with learning

"It's just some superficial skills, not worthy of the title of weapon master."

Chu Mu waved his hand. Although he said so, the confidence and pride from his skills were faintly visible in his eyebrows.

"Haha, you are very modest."

Xie Nan smiled heartily. In a few words, the relationship between the two strangers seemed to be suddenly closer.

"However, according to the rules of this alliance, if a weapon master like you signs an employment contract with this alliance, there will be some additional treatment."

"Before, you didn't show your skills, and the disciples in the alliance were also negligent."

As he said, Xie Nan handed over a token.

"With this token and the employment contract, you can live in any house below Grade A in any market under the jurisdiction of our alliance for free without time limit."

"If you are a weapon refiner, you only need to bear 50% of the loss of the weapons you refine for our alliance."

"In addition, you will get a certain discount for contributing to the treasure house in exchange for treasures."

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he hesitated a little.

Seeing this, Xie Nan smiled and explained: "Don't worry, this is just some preferential treatment from our alliance for people like you who have extraordinary skills. There will be no other constraints."

"Then Chu, I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Chu Mu nodded and put away the token.

Then, Xie Nan was very open and told the purpose of his visit in a way that Chu Mu had not expected.

"According to the rules of the alliance and the family, as the external affairs elder, I have the responsibility to win over a cultivator like you who has extraordinary skills and extraordinary talents."

"Just treat it as a routine matter, don't be surprised!"

As he said that, Xie Nan handed over two contracts.

"Take a look at it, if you don't want to, it's okay, it's just a routine matter anyway."

A strong man in the middle stage of foundation building, speaking so politely, just to take a look, Chu Mu was naturally willing to give this face.

Chu Mu picked it up and flipped through it. There were two contracts, one guest contract and one alliance contract.

The guest contract is for the second-class guest, that is, once he signs this contract, he can directly skip the third-class guest and become the second-class guest of the Righteous Alliance!

The alliance contract is even simpler.

Joining the Righteous Alliance, he will directly cross the threshold of the Righteous Alliance's outer alliance and enjoy the treatment of the Righteous Alliance's inner alliance disciples.

Two contracts, all kinds of treatment, are extremely generous.

It was much more generous than what he had inquired about.

"Chu is used to being lazy and can't stand being constrained."

After just a cursory glance, Chu Mu put down the two contracts, his voice was calm, but also very firm.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's just routine work, it's okay."

As if it was expected, Xie Nan didn't show any strangeness, and his smile was still as gentle as spring breeze.

After a chat, Chu Mu didn't stay too long, and with Xie Nan's farewell, he went straight to the inn after leaving the Contribution Hall.

In the inn, he still had a business to do.

He was still looking forward to the first serious business in his career as a weapon refiner.

As soon as he returned to the inn, the waiter who had obviously been waiting for a long time immediately came to greet him.

"Senior, there is a senior named Zhu who said he wants to see you. He has been waiting in compartment No. 1 on the second floor for a while."

"Okay."

Chu Mu nodded, and under the guidance of the innkeeper, he walked into a compartment on the second floor.

In the compartment, Zhu Zhang had already taken a seat. Seeing Chu Mu appear, he immediately got to the point after some politeness.

"Daoyou, take a look at this piece of frost stone. Can it be matched with my piece of hundred-year-old cold iron?"

"If it's frost stone..."

Chu Mu took it, observed it for a while, and nodded: "Yes, but how to refine it specifically and how to match the spiritual materials depends on your requirements."

"I'm ready, Daoyou, take a look."

As soon as Chu Mu finished speaking, Zhu Zhang seemed to have been prepared, and immediately handed him a jade slip.

Chu Mu glanced at Zhu Zhang, who seemed to be a little anxious, and his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more. He took the jade slip and looked at it.

This was undoubtedly the first time in his career as a weapon refiner.

Accepting someone else's order for refining equipment, and customizing a top-grade spiritual equipment.

Zhu Zhang obviously had similar experience, or was instructed by a refiner. In the jade slip, all the requirements for this top-grade spiritual equipment shield were described very clearly.

More than ten requirements, including the attributes of his own skills, clearly showed what kind of top-grade spiritual equipment shield he wanted.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Mu put down the jade slip, waved his sleeves, and the white paper appeared in front of him. He took the pen and dipped it in ink, and then wrote straight down.

The pen tip waved, and a series of strong and powerful fonts emerged between the flying dragons and phoenixes, and finally, they were combined into corresponding spiritual material nouns.

"This is the recipe for refining equipment, take a look."

Chu Mu raised his hand and waved, and the white paper floated in front of Zhu Zhang.

Then, with a slight movement of his sleeves, a simple spiritual consciousness projection device he had refined before fell on the table.

As his consciousness moved, a shield with a pale blue main body and white frost border was vividly projected in front of the two people.

"According to this formula, this is the final appearance of the shield."

"The specific defense strength and the type of formation are up to you to decide..."

He explained while explaining.

Chu Mu still attaches great importance to this first business.

Cooperation with Xie Hui is an attempt.

And now, it should be regarded as his deeper test of this attempt.

After all, he is different now.

In the past, whatever he needed in the Qi training realm could basically be bought on the market.

Now the foundation building realm is undoubtedly completely different.

He needs a new source of wealth.

Of course, this wealth does not only refer to spiritual stones, but more to resources, those resources that cannot be bought on the market.

And his current refining skills, like the alchemy skills in the past, obviously bear this heavy responsibility.

However, if he wants to achieve this possibility in the foundation building realm, hiding his identity seems to be a bit impractical, at least, if he wants to act according to his plan, it will definitely not work.

Everything before, such as revealing his cultivation, refining skills, and puppet skills, he is preparing for this.

The identity of a master of refining is enough to save him a lot of trouble and bring him great benefits.

Just like Zhu Zhang in front of him, the price of customizing a shield of a top-grade spiritual weapon is not small, and the price in the dark... is even greater!

Moreover, after the transaction, as long as there is no absolute conflict of interest, Zhu Zhang will obviously maintain his relationship with him as a master of refining.

Connections, circles...

These things, he didn't care about in the past.

But now that he has just entered the foundation building stage, he really needs to devote some energy to pay attention.

The foundation building stage is different from the huge group of Qi training stages after all.

From what he has seen and heard so far, these are small circles. It can be expected that the higher the level of cultivation, the smaller this circle will be, and the higher the threshold!

"If possible, then it is the old rules, 50% more main materials, and two copies of the remaining auxiliary materials."

"As for the refining fee, Daoyou, it's the first transaction, so it's cheaper, go with the contract contact order, one thousand contributions."

Chu Mu's voice was calm, looking at Zhu Zhang in front of him.

Although it was his first time to take a business, judging from the tasks on this contract contact order, this price was very fair, and it could even be said to be cheap.

After all, one thousand contribution points, according to the current exchange rate, are only four or five thousand spirit stones. Of course, the exchange of contribution points and spirit stones is generally unsalable.

"Okay, I'll go prepare it first, and then contact you."

Zhu Zhang couldn't hide his joy, and directly transferred one thousand contribution points to Chu Mu's contract contact order.

After that, Zhu Zhang picked up the refining formula and left in a hurry.

Chu Mu glanced at the extra one thousand contribution points on the contract contact order, and then looked at the projection still floating on the table, slightly thoughtful.

For a refiner, the benefits are indeed great.

Under his extremely conservative circumstances, it is the income of one thousand contribution points.

And this is just the apparent cost, and... this cost should still have a relatively large room for growth.

In the dark, he basically has no chance of failure in this shield formula, and the extra spiritual materials must be in his pocket.

And these spiritual materials that can be used to refine high-quality spiritual tools are obviously not cheap.

But what he had to consider was how to maximize this benefit while avoiding possible troubles.

"Master of Refining Equipment..."

After a long time, Chu Mu took a deep breath, stretched his waist, and slowly hid his thoughts in his heart.

He walked out of the inn compartment and out of the coverage of the partition restriction, and the hustle and bustle of the inn followed.

His sleeves moved slightly, and the token he had just obtained from the Contribution Hall was suspended in the palm of his hand.

After watching for a moment, he looked out the window at the street.

Today, Shuitianfang, as one of the few markets of the Righteous Alliance in Luofu County, has become an important transit hub for supplying logistics to the Jingmen front line.

Almost every day, there are countless supplies transported to Shuitianfang from various channels, and then from Shuitianfang to support the Jingmen front line.

Every day, many cultivators who have rested from the front line arrive at Shuitianfang and stop at Shuitianfang.

At the same time, due to the previous defeat of the Righteous Alliance, Shuitianfang, strictly speaking, is also within the range of the Changsheng Sect's front line.

However, the war in the world of immortal cultivation is obviously different from the war in the secular world.

Just like the Jingmen War that has lasted for a long time, both sides tacitly fought on the Jingmen battlefield, although both sides would have various tasks of sneaking into the market and mines behind the enemy.

But the main forces of both sides did not have any strategies such as the army sneaking through Chencang.

There was only a fair duel.

After all, the real core of the war was just the lofty legendary existence of both sides.

The war can continue to this day, which means that the lofty existence has not yet determined the winner.

If there is no winner, then there must be a consensus and tacit understanding.

King vs. king, general vs. general, set up a battle formation, and fight head-on.

Unless the strategy of the army sneaking through Chencang can directly cause damage to the lofty legendary existence of the enemy, otherwise, it is obviously not meaningful.

Unless the tacit understanding is broken, the balance of war is completely tilted, and the situation is completely irreversible, as in the case of the Chen family of Hanhai, otherwise, the battle of Jingmen will obviously continue for a long time.

And Shuitianfang is in danger during this period, but it should not be a big danger.

"Stay here for the time being..."

A rough judgment emerged in his mind, Chu Mu let out a long breath, raised his hand and turned it over. At the same time as the token was put into the storage ring, he took a step and walked out of the inn...
