Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 46 Yiyang Pill
half a month later.

Chen Mu put down the talisman pen in his hand, rubbed his wrist, then sat cross-legged and calmed his exhausted mind.

The original hundreds of spirit stones were used to feed the cracked eggs of the Cold Crystal Snow Sun Toad. More than a hundred of them were used, but these spirit stones were not worth the money. If they were not used, the cracked eggs would have become dead by now.

Secondly, in order to speed up the progress of cultivation, people often use spiritual pills as the main ingredient and spiritual stones as a supplement, which also consumes a lot of energy.

As a result, the remaining spirit stones on him were no longer enough to pay for the cost of alchemy, so after Chen Mu came back from Wei Xingyou, he picked up the talisman pen and took the time to draw talismans without delaying his daily practice.

In just half a month, he drew forty mid-grade talismans, which was much faster than usual.

Half a day later, Chen Mu opened his eyes and stood up. His appearance no longer showed any signs of fatigue.

He packed up and walked to the sea-viewing platform. With a wave of his hand, he released the Phoenix-patterned Cloud-Binding Banner, then used the Wind-Moving Technique to fly quickly towards the Tianhe Market.

Tianhe Market is not far from Shuiyun Mountain Gate. If you use the wind-travel technique to travel, you can arrive there in just half an hour.

After walking for a while, Chen Mu flew down from the clouds to recover his magic power. It took him an hour to reach Tianhe Market.

Chen Mu, dressed in a white robe, walked straight into the Treasure Pavilion.

The waiting disciple's expression changed. Recognizing the man's water-cloud robe, he hurried over and asked, "Senior Brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm looking for your manager Hu." Chen Mu said calmly.

"Brother, please wait in the inner room." The servant disciple beckoned a maid over to lead Chen Mu forward, then said, "I'll go find Manager Hu right away."

Chen Mu nodded and followed the maid into the inner room to wait.

Soon, Manager Hu, dressed in a round-necked brocade robe, walked in. When he saw Chen Mu, a thoughtful look appeared on his face. He then bowed and said, "It's Junior Brother Chen. I haven't seen you for several months. You're still as charming as ever..."

"Senior Brother Hu." Chen Mu bowed and replied.

"I wonder if Junior Brother is here again for the magical weapon?"

Chen Mu said nothing. He waved his right hand, and forty stacked Fu Bo Water-Guiding Talismans appeared on the tea table beside him.

Manager Hu looked at the tea table with a smile on his face, but when he looked carefully at what was on the table, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"This is……"

Chen Mu smiled and nodded.

Manager Hu looked pensive. After thinking for a long time, he sighed, shook his head and said with a smile: "Junior brother deceived me... Brother Jiang is your junior brother, right?"

Chen Mu smiled and said, "I didn't mean to deceive Senior Brother Hu. It's just that when I came to the exchange meeting with my fellow senior brothers, I happened to be wearing a black robe and entered the Treasure Pavilion as a casual cultivator named Jiang. I didn't tell Senior Brother because it was too troublesome."

In fact, it was purely because he was an outer disciple at the time and had many restrictions in front of Manager Hu, so he traded with him as a casual cultivator.

But we still have to deal with him in the future, so it’s always good to find an excuse to give him a way out.

Manager Hu was also a smooth-talking man. He nodded as he walked down the stairs and said, "I see... Then, this means that I, Hu, and Junior Brother Chen, have known each other for a long time."

After he finished speaking, Manager Hu seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Chen Mu glanced at it and thought to himself, "It must be that thing..."

Manager Hu put away the talisman and took out a spirit stone and gave it to Chen Mu.

With a look of consideration on his face, Chen Mu did not disturb him.

After a moment, Manager Hu clapped his fists, as if making up his mind. He leaned over and whispered, "Junior Brother Chen, do you still remember what I said about... the high-level talisman?"

Chen Mu remained calm and nodded, saying, "Of course I remember." "To be honest, Junior Brother, the news about the top-grade spiritual talisman is not made up out of thin air... I have a confirmed location, but it's a little dangerous, and I can't go there alone..."

"Before I even told my junior brother about this, I had already found several fellow practitioners... But I was afraid that even though we'd been together for a long time, our friendship would be vulnerable to the effects of our own interests."

"Why don't you join us, Junior Brother? If there are any changes, you can help us..."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Mu with expectation.

Chen Mu frowned slightly and asked, "When are we leaving?"

"If you agree, we will set off next month!" Manager Hu replied quickly.

After Chen Mu pondered for a moment, he slowly shook his head and said, "Junior brother has the intention but not the strength..."

Although he also wanted to learn how to draw high-level talismans and become a top-grade talisman master after drawing them.

But his current focus is obviously on his cultivation realm. Wasn't it that he spent hundreds of spirit stones just to refine the Yiyang Pill to improve his cultivation?

Besides, if this trip succeeds, it's fine. But if it fails, even if I can escape, it will be a waste of time, and my progress in cultivation will be greatly reduced...

After thoroughly understanding the matter, he was able to prioritize it after a brief consideration.

Manager Hu looked at Chen Mu's refusal, nodded slightly, and then smiled and said, "It's okay. Junior brother, your intention is already a sign of your loyalty to me..."

He was not very disappointed because he had already planned the itinerary and it was indeed his intention to sincerely invite Chen Mu. If Chen Mu could come, it would be icing on the cake and the chances would be greater. If he did not come, it would not affect anything.

……

After an incense stick of time, Chen Mu said goodbye to Manager Hu and returned to the mountain gate without stopping.

Striding forward along the bluestone path, they soon arrived at the Danhen area.

Then he followed the children waiting outside the cave into the cave. The corridor was quite wide, but a bit stuffy, and the ceiling was inlaid with many luminous pearls.

After walking a few dozen steps, they arrived at a large area. In the center was a red alchemy furnace the size of an adult. Wei Xingyou was sitting cross-legged beside it with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing.

When he sensed Chen Mu coming, Wei Xingyou opened his eyes and stood up. Two pill bottles suddenly appeared in his hands and he handed them to Chen Mu for inspection.

"Junior Brother Chen, this time we refined three furnaces and made seven pills in total..." Wei Xingyou said with a wry smile.

He didn't know what was going on. Although he said at the beginning that he was unlucky and didn't get any pills, in fact, the probability of this was very small.

Because he had been refining pills for thirty years, and he had only been refining a few kinds of pills over and over again. Considering his familiarity with Yiyang Pills, it was really a bit unreasonable for him to have made seven pills from three furnaces...

Chen Mu smiled slightly, took it with a cupped hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Wei Dan."

He didn't care much about it, because no one could predict the outcome of alchemy.

"Junior Brother Chen, the 30% chance of success you mentioned before... is indeed a little too little this time. Please give me two pills for now. If you still trust me in the future, I will compensate you then." Wei Xingyou said firmly.

Chen Mu took out two Yiyang pills and gave them to him along with three hundred spirit stones. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Wei..."

After chatting for a while, Chen Mu stood up and said goodbye, then walked out of the cave and headed straight for the Duhai Cliff.

He pushed open the door of Tinghai Pavilion and sat cross-legged.

He had traveled so many times just to cultivate peacefully. At this moment, he had six Yiyang Pills in his hands, enough for him to cultivate for a long time...

He raised his head and swallowed the Yiyang Pill. The familiar feeling returned. Chen Mu carefully savored the changes in his body and mana, immersed in cultivation...
