Mortal: Starting from replicating everything in Maple Valley

"So you are Junior Nephew Fang? You are indeed a handsome man. Please come in and have a chat."

Lei Wanhe twisted his plump body, a rare smile appearing on his face. He stepped aside, gesturing for Fang Mu to enter the cave for discussion.

Fang Mu returned the greeting with a cupped hand, but did not refuse.

Inside Lei Wanhe's cave.

The two took their seats, one as host and the other as guest.

Lei Wanhe clapped his hands.

A young girl wearing a very short skirt and dressed very casually walked in.

The skirt hem reached the upper thigh.

Her long, white legs were exposed, straight and rounded like ivory, making one want to go up and caress them fiercely.

They were served steaming hot tea.

Lei Wanhe picked up the tea, blew away the foam on top, and took a sip.

After chatting with Fang Mu for a while, he finally couldn't hold back and asked bluntly:

"Fellow Daoist mentioned in the transmission talisman that there are medicinal herbs that are four or five hundred years old. Is that true?"

He recently refined a batch of elixirs, but he was short of medicinal herbs that were four or five hundred years old.

He was extremely worried and had traveled to many places, but still found no trace of her.

Even with the composure of a Core Formation stage expert, he couldn't help but start talking first.

"I dare not deceive my martial uncle, please take a look."

When it came to serious matters, Fang Mu dared not be careless in the slightest.

He immediately took out two sandalwood boxes.

Lei Wanhe's eyes lit up, and he snatched it and opened the lid.

A rich medicinal aroma immediately wafted over.

"Excellent, excellent. This quality and appearance perfectly meet my needs. I'll take both of these medicinal herbs."

Junior Brother Fang, you can now state your needs.

It's not too much to ask; I will do my best to satisfy you.

Lei Wanhe couldn't wait to stuff the two wooden boxes into his large, layered belly, as if afraid that Fang Mu would change his mind.

"I have just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. My cultivation method is special, and the difficulty of improving my cultivation is several times greater than that of other cultivators at the same level. Therefore, I have an exceptionally high demand for pills that can improve my cultivation."

I hope my senior apprentice can grant my request.

These two medicinal herbs, which are four or five hundred years old, were naturally obtained by Fang Mu from Han Li.

Their aim was to obtain the elixir formula from Lei Wanhe.

After all, he was practicing the top-tier fire-attribute technique, the "Golden Crow Burning the World Scripture".

This technique is indeed powerful and its magical energy is profound, exceeding that of other techniques of the same level by several times.

The downside is that it's too difficult to enter the country.

The number of pills ingested was several times that of those of the same rank.

Due to drug resistance issues, he could not possibly take Huoqi Dan (火气丹), a type of medicinal pill.

We must plan ahead for additional cultivation-enhancing pills.

He approached Han Li, offered him the last half of the "Qingyuan Sword Manual," and visited Uncle Lei.

All of this was part of his plan.

So far, the plan is progressing very smoothly.

Lei Wanhe pondered for a moment.

He patted the storage bag at his waist.

He suddenly had two more pieces of parchment in his hand.

It was covered with many small characters.

"These two prescriptions are for you. However, as your elder, I would like to give you an extra reminder: the medicinal herbs listed are not easy to find, so you should be prepared."

The two exchanged items.

That concludes the transaction.

They left the cave.

Fang Mu looked at the prescription in his hand.

The medicinal materials recorded inside were found to be rare, and the year of production was strictly controlled.

If the medicinal materials are not of the required age, the alchemy process may fail.

For an ordinary person, it would take a tremendous amount of effort to collect even one copy.

No wonder even Lei Wanhe, who was at the Core Formation stage, said that the ingredients for the two types of pills were difficult to collect.

That's right, Fang Mu plans to refine pills himself.

After all, if you entrust the collected medicinal herbs to someone else to refine, who knows if they might tamper with the pills?

It's better to refine it yourself; you won't feel bad about that.

living comfortably without anybody's help.

However, this was for Fang Mu.

No problem.

He has an unlimited copying function; you only need to collect one copy to have countless copies.

With countless blessings, he threw himself into alchemy time and time again, hoping to succeed just once.

Moreover, he felt that his aptitude was not advantageous in cultivation.

However, he does have some talent when it comes to alchemy.

He has three elemental roots: metal, fire, and wood.

According to ancient texts, cultivating the Golden Spiritual Root allows for a better understanding of the attributes and properties of the alchemy furnace.

Wood Spirit Root is very adept at harmonizing and controlling the liquid essence of herbs.

As for the fire elemental root, it allows for better control over the flame temperature during alchemy.

To achieve the most minute control over every single spark of the flame.

Having all three spiritual roots, his success rate in alchemy is naturally higher than others.

He is a promising candidate for alchemy.

However, alchemy can only be done after all the medicinal herbs have been collected.

At least for now, what Fang Mu wants to do most is to complete the last main ingredient of the Fire Qi Pill, the Yuanling Grass.

He has learned about this over time.

The Yuanling Grass is a mild and gentle herb. Even when taken raw, it can increase the cultivation level of a Foundation Establishment cultivator by a certain amount.

It is one of the few rare medicinal herbs that can be consumed directly to increase cultivation without refining.

Therefore, many people choose to take it immediately after obtaining it to avoid attracting attention from others and causing trouble.

Fang Mu has been suspended from his mission at the Hundred Machines Hall for a long time, with no word from him.

On this day, Fang Mu entered the Hundred Machines Hall and found that his task was still unattended.

Shaking his head, he selected one task from among many and prepared to carry it out.

It turns out that as the Foundation Establishment Manager, he receives a certain amount of spirit stones from the sect every year.

However, he also needs to carry out a mission periodically to contribute to the sect and demonstrate his loyalty.

He accepted the task of going to the wedding banquet of his old friend, whom he had met before he became a Daoist, in place of his Uncle Lei from the valley.

This task was not difficult, especially since it was to go in place of Lei Wanhe, who was at the Core Formation stage.

Therefore, it had a very impressive presence.

The host of the wedding banquet was the head of a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan in Huangfeng Valley. He, Lei Wanhe, and another person had formed a deep friendship in their childhood and traveled to Yue Kingdom together. Their relationship was profound and extraordinary.

Fang Mu left the Hundred Machines Hall.

It flew out of the mountain gate and headed outside.

However, it didn't fly very far.

He stopped on a bare hill, facing a woman with a mature and charming demeanor.

The man was standing on the road he would have to take to the wedding banquet, clearly waiting for him.

This person, whose cultivation level is in the late Foundation Establishment stage, is also a Foundation Establishment manager in Huangfeng Valley.

She just looked very unwell, with a haggard face, tears in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Fellow Daoist Liu Yanfang, you've been waiting for me here all this way? Is there something you need?"

Fang Mu cupped his hands and asked.

"That's right, I do have something I want to discuss with you."

If I may ask, this road is extremely remote, and there is no other possibility that it leads to a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan.

Fellow Daoist, are you attending that heartless man's wedding banquet in place of Uncle Lei?

The woman's eyes were filled with resentment as she spoke through gritted teeth.

Fang Mu could tell that she was very emotional.

They sensed something was wrong.

There's a hint of conspiracy in it.

His expression turned serious.
