Longevity starts with learning

It was late at night, and monks began to walk out of the brightly lit Baibao Pavilion. The exchange meeting, which lasted for most of the day, came to an end.

The monks left and the maids retreated. Only Chu Mu and the girl were left in the hall.

Chu Mu was still drinking leisurely by himself. The spirit wine from Baibao Pavilion was quite to his liking. It was hot in the mouth and burned like fire when it entered his throat. When it exploded in his belly, the heat swept over him. In the blink of an eye, it turned into warmth that swept over his whole body. meaning.

"Yue'er, bring me another pot of wine."

When another bottle of wine was poured, the girl put down the bottle, looked out the door and called out.

"No."

Chu Mu raised his hand to stop him.

The girl was slightly startled.

Chu Mu stood up and ordered again:

"I have to ask the girl in red to arrange what happened just now."

After speaking, Chu Mu took out a sound transmission token and handed it to the girl.

After the girl received the transmission order, Chu Mu waved his hand and walked out the door.

In this exchange meeting, he undoubtedly got what he wanted.

An exchange meeting that was supposed to maintain personal connections for Baibaoge almost became his home court.

The people who should be met have already been met.

The bait that should be thrown out has also been thrown out.

The authority that should be established has already been established...

Next, follow the steps and there should be no big problem.

In the red glow of the night, the lights are bright, and the continuous light rises and falls with the height of the house and the mountain. It is almost a dream-like bustling and bustling. Even though he is already very knowledgeable, he is always quite shocked.

He stared blankly for a moment, then turned to look at the Baibao Pavilion. In the dim light, the girl stopped in front of the door, her skirt swaying in the wind, like a beautiful flower shining on the water, or a weak willow supporting the wind.

Their eyes met for just a moment before Chu Mu waved his hand and took a step forward. Wangcai followed closely behind, wagging his tail.

As Chu Mu drank by himself, the dog also drank a lot of spiritual wine, and he was obviously a little drunk. Just like the secular dog he once was, he was running around in the street wagging his tail and having fun. This caused the monks on the street to retreat and dodge.

When he returned to the cave, the sky was already turning white, and Chu Mu fell asleep. Ten years of fatigue from the open sea could not be relieved in a day or two.

Long-term mental tension and bloody contamination are not a good thing for spiritual practice, and can even be said to be quite harmful.

This disadvantage is not just his feeling, but his rigorous research and demonstration, with clear experimental results.

This was one of the reasons why he did not choose to go out to sea to hunt monsters again.

No matter what you do, there is absolutely nothing wrong with combining work and rest.

He didn't sleep for too long this time. Within a day and a night, he was woken up by the continuous sound transmissions.

He glanced at the several transmissions that appeared on the transmission order, pondered for a while, and then walked out of the cave.

After about half an hour, he returned to the cave again.

This day and night was enough to completely ferment the exchange meeting in Baibao Pavilion.

Whether it is the identity of the master of weapon refining, or the method of Zhiyang Zhigang that can eliminate the corrosive influence of monsters, or the small Zhoutian puppet array, and the projection of escaping from the pursuit of third-level monsters...

Any one of them is shocking enough.

And when these things converge on the same person, there is no doubt that he will rise to the top and become famous just like he did in Jingmen.

Just as he expected, he just needs to follow the steps... and that's it...

…

In the north of the city, Yuehua Street.

"Senior, this store belongs to Shanmeng League. I asked in your name, senior. According to the elders stationed here at Shanmeng League, this store can be rented or sold."

"However, if it is a lease, the lease term shall not be less than fifty years, and the rent must be paid in full in one go."

Chu Mu glanced at the shop in front of him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. It didn't matter what the shop looked like. Chixia City had no city protection formation, and naturally there were no formations connected to it. All the houses and shops in the city could be demolished as long as they were rented. It can be rebuilt.

He asked: "Whose force is Shanmeng?"

"Reporting back to my predecessors, Shanmeng League is a force on the mountain islands outside the sea. It is said to be formed by an alliance of several foundation-building casual cultivators..."

Chang Er was obviously very well prepared and immediately started talking in an orderly manner.

Listening to what Chang Er said, Chu Mu was obviously a little confused.

Chixia City's status in the vast sea is naturally unquestionable.

Owning a shop in this city is like having a cornucopia of treasure!

There are many shops for rent in the city, but there are only a few shops for sale.

Chu Mu asked: "Why do they want to sell the store?"

"This... I don't even know about this."

Chu Mu asked again: "What does Shanmeng mainly do?"

"Qunshan Island is located overseas. Shanmeng has a geographical advantage. It mainly deals in demonic beasts and spiritual materials. Buy low and sell high..."

"You stay outside."

Chu Mu gave instructions and walked into the shop.

The store was obviously still open for business. On the shelves, a variety of demonic and beast spiritual materials were displayed. Several store clerks were busy working beside the shelves. Behind the counter, there was nothing.

"senior."

Seeing Chu Mu walking in, a waiter immediately came forward to greet him.

Chu Mu asked casually: "Which of you can make the decision?"

"Senior, please wait a moment. I'm going to report this to the shopkeeper."

The waiter reacted immediately, bowed, turned around and trotted upstairs.

Soon, a bearded man walked down from the second floor under the guidance of the waiter.

The sturdy man was a puppet, nearly ten feet tall, with a sledgehammer in his right arm and a demonized left arm, with sharp claws flashing coldly, and his momentum was terrifying.

Chu Mu glanced at the demonized left arm of the man without leaving a trace, and the physical transformation he had known before suddenly emerged in his mind.

This kind of demonization seemed to be... the product of transplantation and transformation?

"What's the matter, fellow Daoist?"

The man spoke in a muffled voice, and looked at Chu Mu with eyes like copper bells.

"Chu heard that your shop is selling to the outside world, so I came to inquire about the situation."

Chu Mu got straight to the point.

Although the Hanhai Xiuxian Realm is the home of bloodline cultivators, there are very few pure cultivators, and it is not very suitable for the survival of orthodox cultivators, but for him, the situation is obviously different.

In the Great Chu Xiuxian Realm, a second-level pill recipe is often a spiritual medicine with a medicinal age of hundreds of years. With the knowledge resource system that is almost completely monopolized by the Great Chu Xiuxian Realm, it is too difficult for him!

In contrast, although the vast sea of ​​immortal cultivation is full of dangers, chaos and disorder, danger also means opportunities.

Apart from other things, the system of using demons as pills is enough for him to settle down here for a long time.

In the case of long-term settlement, if it is possible to rent or sell, he naturally hopes to choose to buy this shop.

"Do you want to buy this shop?"

The strong man looked at Chu Mu and asked with some suspicion.

"Yes."

Chu Mu nodded, looked at the shop for a while, and then looked at the strong man in front of him.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please go upstairs and sit down first. Niu will contact the other elders of the alliance first."

"This shop belongs to the alliance, fellow Taoist, please forgive me."

"No problem."

Chu Mu nodded, and under the guidance of a waiter, he went up the stairs and finally sat down in the lobby on the second floor.

But about a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps at the staircase, and then two figures walked out of the staircase.

The bearded man and the thin old man beside him, both of them were in the middle stage of the foundation building realm.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you have come to our store. It is a great honor for us."

This time, it was the thin old man who spoke. The old man was very enthusiastic, and even the bearded man was obviously a little more respectful.

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but thinking of the turmoil in Chixia caused by him these days, he understood.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy this store of our alliance?"

After a lot of politeness, the old man turned to the main topic.

"Yes."

Chu nodded.

"This store was purchased by our ancestors in Chixia five hundred years ago and has continued to this day. If our alliance had not suffered a sudden disaster, it would definitely not be sold."

The old man sighed and spoke slowly.

Seeing Chu Mu's doubts, the old man sighed and explained: "At the beginning of this spring, for some unknown reason, a third-level wind-breaking beast suddenly attacked the Mountain Island."

"Although it was barely blocked in the end, the alliance also suffered heavy losses. As a last resort, it began to sell the alliance's assets outside the city."

"This store is the third store sold by our alliance in Chixia City."

"If you really want to buy this store, I can give you a low price."

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, his eyes wandered over the old man and the bearded man, and he slowly put down the teacup he had picked up.

"I have a junior who is quite talented in refining equipment..."

The old man spoke slowly, and his slightly turbid eyes looked at Chu Mu from time to time, observing Chu Mu's reaction.

As the old man finished speaking, Chu Mu frowned slightly, and his fingertips subconsciously tapped on the table. The sound was not loud, but at this moment, it also focused the attention of the old man and the strong man.

"I need to think about this matter."

After a while, Chu Mu slowly spoke under the almost earnest gaze of the two.

"In this way, two days, two days later, Chu will give you an answer."

"Okay."

The old man seemed a little happy and immediately agreed.

Then, with the old man and the bearded strong man seeing him off, Chu Mu walked out of the store.

Chang Er was still waiting respectfully outside the store. When he saw Chu Mu walk out, he hurried forward.

"Let's go."

Chu Mu waved his hand, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking a lot.

Seeing this, Chang Er did not dare to say much, and followed closely.

Using the huge profits of a shop in exchange for the status of a master and apprentice of a weapon refining master, this condition can be said to be very wise and cost-effective.

Although the profit of the shop is huge, it is impossible for this profit to change too much.

However, this master-disciple status has countless possibilities.

After all, not everyone has the "spiritual blessing", the comprehension is against the sky, and can learn by self-study.

In the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, any art, without a guide, without words and deeds, even if the knowledge is in front of you, it is difficult to get started.

If he teaches, under this kind of exchange of interests, it is basically equivalent to a refining inheritance, which will be passed down in the mountain alliance from now on.

For him, just a master-disciple status, he can get a shop in Chixia City for nothing, which seems... also worthwhile.

However, Chu Mu's consideration is not whether this transaction is a win-win situation.

And it is that once this hole is opened, it will be difficult for him to refuse if there is an exchange of interests next time.

If he refuses, it does not conform to his plan.

After all, he wants to settle in Chixia for a long time.

This kind of master-disciple relationship is just in name only. For him, as long as it is done properly, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages...
