Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 257 Xie Hui
"Senior, go slowly..."

The woman bowed and sent off respectfully.

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

Compared with the tasks reflected in the contact order, the many tasks in the contribution hall are obviously more intuitive and clearer.

On the surrounding screen, there are various tasks assigned by the Zhengdao League.

The missions are complicated, there are front-line fights, assassination missions, and sabotage and sneak attack missions behind enemy lines, such as patrols and guards are countless.

Just judging from these tasks, it seems that they can probably see clearly the current situation of this war.

It is not clear about the other places. Judging from these missions, in the East Lake area, the Longevity Sect and the Zhengdao League are centered on Jingmen and bounded by East Lake. They are facing each other and fighting for thousands of miles.

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

He stared at it for a moment, then slowly withdrew his gaze.

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 stepped into the street.

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

The phenomenon of soaring prices in the Jade Emperor Valley once appeared, but in this Shuitianfang, it is already worse than it.

Finished products such as magic tools, talisman seals, and pills exist, and their prices have doubled. The prices of all kinds of spiritual materials and medicines have also increased a lot.

Judging from the situation he asked, after the outbreak of this war, it has become a normal thing. Prices have been rising and have never stopped.

Moreover, this is not just an example of Shuitianfang, it is thousands of miles away, and it is the same in all areas affected by the flames of war.

The flames of war are raging, prices are soaring, coupled with the employment system of the Zhengdao League, contributing to the treasure house...

On the market, it seems that there are many rare things that were rarely seen before.

This is true no matter if it is a finished pill, talisman, or spiritual tool, or some spiritual material and elixir.

Walking around in Fang City, thousands of spirit stones were sprinkled out, and many vacancies had been filled in the storage ring.

"Spiritual material."

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

"This lapis lazuli, crescent moon jade, and these kinds..."

In a mining store in Fang City, Chu Mu pointed around the shelves in the store like sweeping goods, and the shopkeepers who followed behind him respectfully took out all of them.

Chu Mu asked: "How many spirit stones in total?"

"Reporting to senior, there are a total of 680 low-grade spirit stones. If you erase the fraction for senior, it will be counted as [-] low-grade spirit stones."

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

"Row."

Chu Mu wiped it on his bosom, and a storage talisman was directly handed over.

"If you have spiritual materials above the second level in the future, you can keep them for me."

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

"Senior, are you a refiner?"

The man took the sound transmission talisman, and seemed to muster up his courage.

Chu Mu nodded without denying it.

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

Revealing one's cultivation base is a deterrent, revealing this skill is an even greater deterrence.

A foundation-building craftsman is not too rare, but definitely not many.

"Dare to ask senior, is there a place to worship?"

The middle-aged man asked again.

"how?"

Chu Mu raised his brows, and looked at the middle-aged man with more meaning.

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

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

"Senior, don't worry, there will never be any restrictions, and it will definitely not disturb you, senior..."

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

Chu Mu glanced at the Xie family crest on the eaves of the door, 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 collateral descendant of the Xie family. This shop was also passed down by my father, and the former craftsman died unfortunately. On the battlefield..."

After some explanation, Chu Mu probably became a little clearer.

The middle-aged man's name is Xie Hui, and his cultivation of perfect qi training is extremely insignificant in the huge family system of the Xie family.

With only the qualifications of the four spiritual roots, if his parents had not died in an accident decades ago, he probably would not even have the qualifications to practice.

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

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

Only in this way can he stay in Xie's family and embark on the immortal journey, instead of being driven to the secular world like other clansmen who have no spiritual root aptitude, or who have a spiritual root aptitude below three spiritual roots.

Afterwards, Xie Hui embarked on the immortal journey, and naturally inherited his inheritance.

It's just that Xie Hui's cultivation level is low, his aptitude is even lower, and his parents are dead, so he has no one to rely on in Xie's family.

Although there are family rules to protect, it is clear that the reality cannot be constrained by a few simple rules.

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

In the end, there is only this one shop that survives. Its operators sell spiritual materials and customize magical artifacts, and it has been stable until now.

It's just unfortunate that some time ago, the refiner he painstakingly recruited disappeared immediately, and the soul lamp was broken, probably killed by someone.

It was obviously embarrassing for him to be in such a situation.

It's meaningless to recruit a low-level craftsman, and a high-level craftsman is beyond his reach based on his cultivation.

So, this is a rush to the doctor, throwing it on him?

In the past, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.

And right now...

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

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

"Reporting to seniors, the spiritual material channels of the small shop are generally through the internal supply system of the family, and they also purchase rare spiritual materials from the outside world. The small ones even know some resellers..."

"Senior, if you need any spiritual material, you just need to tell the little one, if the little one can do it, I will never refuse!"

"If you can collect all of this spiritual material, Chu will be enshrined by this shop."

Chu Mu handed over a list with a flat voice.

There are not many spiritual materials on this list, there are no more than eight kinds in total, one of the second-tier high-grade spiritual materials, and the rest are second-tier middle and lower-grade spiritual materials.

For him in the past, it was very rare.

But judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be difficult to collect them.

But if, like him, he has no contacts and relies on his own luck, it will obviously be quite cumbersome and troublesome.

He didn't want to join the sect or the family, even for the contract just now, he chose the employment contract instead of the guest minister's contract with more favorable treatment.

The reason is that he does not want to be bound and driven by others.

As for Xie Hui in front of him, the shop is small and the situation is weak.

Enjoying its offerings will not be bound or restrained.

You can also use his network channels to collect spiritual resources for him...

For him, it should be a good choice.

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

"Senior, don't worry, give me ten days, and after ten days, you can come and pick it up!"

Xie Hui glanced at the list, and immediately patted his chest to make sure.

"Row."

Chu Mu nodded: "Ten days later, Chu will come again."

"Senior, go slowly."

Xie Hui sent him off respectfully, and Chu Mu went out.

He stopped in front of the door, felt a little about the number of spirit stones accumulated in the storage ring, and many refined instruments, and then he went straight to the outside of the market.

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

One was the black market at the bottom of the lake that he had visited before, and the other two were located in Luofu Mountain.

The black market at the bottom of the lake is relatively close to Shuitianfang, while the other two black markets are quite far away.

Judging from the situation he inquired about in Fangshi just now, the location of the other two black markets should be close to the front line, and whether they still exist or not is still unknown.

The black market at the bottom of the lake is at the rear.

The three black markets are all the goals of his trip.

Entering Foundation Establishment for the first time, he is almost another reincarnation of poverty and nothingness. What he lacks is more than 01:30.

"I hope I can gain something..."

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

……

　Eight thousand more, ask for a monthly pass!
