Longevity starts with learning

For more than ten days, Chu Mu rested in the cave, firstly to study the classics of the elixir recipes, and secondly to prepare for a good rest to avoid the fatigue of traveling for many years.

In the bamboo forest and stone pavilion, a book and a pot of spiritual tea, day after day.

From time to time, he would fiddle with and take care of the spiritual fields and plants, which made him feel more comfortable.

Time lasted until the beginning of the month, and this leisurely life finally came to an end.

The mountain spring gurgled, and the flowing water turned into a river, flowing along the mountain on one side of the spiritual field.

Chu Mu sat on a huge rock by the river, looking at the jade slip in his hand and thinking a little.

After about a quarter of an hour, he seemed to wake up from his thoughts a little, and when he slowly stood up, the formation that covered the cave appeared.

As he took a step out, the escape light flowed, and he fell from the mountain peak to the city.

This time, he was obviously more purposeful. He walked through the city, walked into shops, spent a lot of spiritual stones, and purchased a large number of spiritual materials and spiritual objects.

This time, he spent more than a month to spend money. He also wandered around the city for more than a month before returning to the cave.

Dozens of storage talismans dimmed, and the mountains of spiritual materials were scattered in the earth fire room.

A spell was thrown out, and the earth fire gushed out. The blazing flames immediately illuminated the entire room.

Chu Mu looked at the piles of spiritual materials, frowned slightly, and was slightly thoughtful.

Sprinkling hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones and purchasing these mountains of spiritual materials were naturally for the purpose of refining.

In the Hanhai Xiuxian world, the existence of demon pills is not rare, but it is definitely not common.

At least, he has not seen demon pills as raw materials in the entire Chixia City.

According to what he inquired, the raw materials of demon beasts are basically monopolized by various forces in the Hanhai Xiuxian world.

Occasionally, only a very small number of them flow into the market.

Most of the shops in the city have signs that they purchase raw materials for monsters. As far as he knows, the major business alliances have even opened shops directly on the islands in the outer sea to control the raw materials of monsters directly from the source.

If he wants to sit in the city and purchase a large number of monster pills for alchemy, then given his current situation as a newcomer, the possibility is basically zero.

As for the painstaking efforts to weave a network of people like in Jingmen...

Although the method is feasible, he is a newcomer now, and this Chixia City is different from the original East Lake.

Not to mention the mixed crowd, the forces of various families are complicated and far from as simple as when Shuitianfang was in Jingmen.

With this time and energy, Chu Mu felt that it would be better to rely on himself.

And the mountains of spiritual materials in front of him are his preparations.

Chu Mu thought for a long time as ideas flowed through his mind.

Although he had made a decision to go out to sea to hunt monsters, he obviously did not dare to be careless.

After all, the outer sea is not safe at all.

The more trump cards the better!

While thinking, a touch of the sun's true fire suddenly appeared and merged into the gushing earth fire. The red flame suddenly surged, and the spiritual materials were also swirling and changing in the flame.

The spiritual materials worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, plus the many rare spiritual materials he had collected in the past, except for a few kinds of retention, all the rest were put into the preparation for this voyage.

The time for refining was far longer than any previous refining.

Spring went and autumn came, and the years changed. It took nearly two years for the surging earth fire in the room to be extinguished.

At this time, around the earth fire platform, the puppets were like silent warriors, neatly arranged in this earth fire room.

Chu Mu's eyes were red. After two years of refining, even if he was strong, he couldn't hold on.

But when he saw the puppets in front of him, his fatigue was suppressed instantly.

Two years of refining, one hundred puppets!

The puppets were not any of the ones he had conceived before, but he conceived them in combination with the purpose of this trip when he was refining them this time.

The purpose of his trip was to hunt monsters at sea, so the battlefield of the puppets was most likely on the ocean.

Moreover, the opponents of the puppets were not cultivators, but monsters that acted entirely on instinct.

Under such factors, the many puppets he had conceived in the past were undoubtedly not suitable.

After all, he was inland before, and the enemies he met were all cultivators.

It needs to be able to adapt to the terrain of the vast sea, and be able to withstand the rough skin and flesh of monsters...

Among the one hundred puppets, there are twenty second-level puppets and eighty first-level perfect puppets.

The puppets have both human and animal forms, and they have all uses.

There are puppets to lure monsters, puppets to save lives, and puppets to be used as meat shields for hunting monsters head-on...

Combined with the information he collected from the outer sea, he has made all the preparations he can at present!

He took out a stack of storage talismans. There were too many puppets. With the space of his storage ring, he was really stretched. He could only use storage talismans as a substitute and carry these puppets with him.

After putting away the hundreds of puppets, Chu Mu walked out of the earth fire house that had been closed for nearly two years.

Two years had not brought any changes to this cave. Dust removal, sound suppression, and air purification, these basic functions, in this second-class cave, are naturally ordinary functions.

Not to mention, the cave is rich in spiritual energy, and it will only be full of vitality under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

He has expanded the spiritual field a lot. Long before he closed the door to refine the weapon, he took the time to plant a lot of spiritual medicine.

In two years, under the influence of the spiritual field and the rich spiritual energy, the growth of these spiritual medicines and spiritual plants is really gratifying.

Of course, all this is thanks to Wangcai.

After all, even if the spiritual medicine is isolated from the world, it will evolve and give birth to some spiritual insects that conflict with the nature of the spiritual medicine, as well as some spiritual grasses that are not conducive to the growth of spiritual medicines and spiritual plants.

He was in seclusion refining weapons, so he naturally took care of these spiritual medicines without any flaws. Although Wangcai's intelligence was not high, after a long period of tacit understanding, he did a good job in such trivial matters.

Seeing Chu Mu coming out, Wangcai, who was still teasing a spiritual insect out of boredom, suddenly jumped up. When he jumped up, he did not forget to flick his tail and directly turned the lively spiritual insect into a puddle of mud.

"Okay, okay, we are going to go to sea, and you can have fun at that time!"

Chu Mu rubbed Wangcai, laughed, raised his hand and threw it, and a pale green puppet fell to one side.

The puppet is very ordinary, just the first level of perfection.

But the control core of the puppet is also very complicated.

For a first-level puppet, he used the soul-condensing stone and a foundation-building soul to condense the core.

The purpose of such a waste of talent is the special nature of this puppet.

It is not a combat puppet, but an auxiliary puppet, a spiritual plant puppet used to take care of spiritual fields and spiritual plants.

In the puppet core he specially cast, he instilled all the knowledge and information about spiritual plants, spiritual medicines, and spiritual fields that he knew.

And the structure of the puppet itself is also specially designed for taking care of spiritual plants.

For this reason, he even specially learned several spiritual plant masters' techniques and engraved them on this puppet.

Such as the spiritual rain technique, the moonlight technique...

This puppet was born entirely for taking care of spiritual plants.

It seems insignificant, but the value of this puppet, if placed in the outside world, even a second-level combat puppet, I am afraid it is difficult to compare.

Among the hundreds of puppets he had refined, only this seemingly inconspicuous first-level puppet took up the most of his energy and thought.

"Go."

Chu Mu activated the spiritual plant puppet. With a command, the light green puppet quickly walked to the edge of the spiritual field, raised his arm, and a flash of light flashed. Drops of white spiritual rain instantly formed and fell on the spiritual field.

Under the influence of the spiritual rain, the many spiritual plants and spiritual medicines growing in the entire spiritual field seemed to have more vitality.

Then, the puppet opened its ten fingers, and a series of light green lights fell on the spiritual field. The spiritual insects were instantly annihilated under this light green light.

When the light green light dissipated, the puppet seemed to confirm that there were still spiritual insects in the spiritual field. It slowly looked around to confirm that there were no fish that had escaped the net, and then began the next step of the process.

Chu Mu watched the puppet's every move, observed it, and confirmed that everything about the puppet was as expected. After there were no accidents, he retracted his gaze.

Looking around the cave, he pondered for a moment, raised his hand and wiped it, and the map that recorded the details of the offshore sea and the sea area was also in his hand.

After a moment of exploration, the jade slip in his hand changed, and another jade slip appeared.

This jade slip is the Monster Beast Atlas, which is said to be a must-have for sea hunting monsters.

It was purchased from Yunxiao Pavilion and cost nearly a thousand spirit stones. According to the shopkeeper of Yunxiao Pavilion, this Monster Beast Atlas is the most detailed record of monster species in the entire Hanhai Xiuxian world.

Before retreating to refine the weapon, he also hurriedly flipped through it. It is not clear whether the fact is as the shopkeeper said.

But the monster information recorded in the jade slip is indeed extremely detailed.

The jade slip records the information of nearly three thousand monsters, and the habits, body shape, weaknesses, and roughly which sea areas each monster lives in are all recorded clearly.

It is obviously not a lie that it is a must-have for sea hunting monsters.

He was going to go out to sea, so he obviously had to be thoroughly familiar with this book of monsters.

While he was thinking, Chu Mu glanced at the spiritual plant puppet again, raised his hand and waved it, and the forbidden gate of the formation appeared. He took a step forward, and Wangcai followed closely behind.

When the forbidden gate of the formation dissipated and the formation was forbidden as usual, Chu Mu led Wangcai to jump down and stepped into Chixia City again...
