Chapter 382 Alchemy
Three days later.
On the hillside of Wuyan Mountain, west of the General Affairs Court.
Chen Mu followed the wooden sign and walked slowly into Cuizhuyuan.
According to the notice at the entrance of the General Affairs Court, Cuizhuyuan is responsible for the cross-regional allocation of personnel.
If any lower house is short of people, the news will be sent to Cuizhuyuan in each general affairs court as soon as possible.
Cuizhuyuan will mobilize people to the lower house that is short of people through tasks.
He came here today to see if there is a suitable job that allows him to leave Dongling Wushan.
Killing Sun Wujiu is a hidden danger after all.
Entering the room, Chen Mu quickly scanned the room.
Two hollow screens stood on both sides of the door, dividing the house into two relatively independent small compartments in the east and west. It looked like a study room, with bookshelves, desks, pens, inkstones, and paper.
At this moment, two people were talking in the western compartment. Chen Mu glanced at it and walked straight to the eastern compartment.
Behind the desk there was a bald middle-aged man in his forties.
The other person was dressed in black, with drooping eyelids and a blank face.
Without waiting for Chen Mu to speak, the bald middle-aged man stretched out his hand, slightly impatient: "Give me the identity jade card."
Chen Mu had inquired about the procedures and was well prepared, so he quickly handed over the jade card.
The other person took the jade card, and a pale light flashed in his eyes: "Can you refine the Bigu Pill?"
"Yes." Chen Mu nodded.
The bald middle-aged man heard this and his face softened: "Which mountain do you want to go to?"
"I wonder if there is a place outside Dongling that needs to refine Bigu Pills?" Chen Mu asked calmly.
"Do you want to go to other lower houses?" The bald middle-aged frowned slightly.
Without waiting for Chen Mu to explain, the other person suddenly realized: "That's right, Dongling only gives white jade money for refining Bigu Pills. If you want to earn Daogong, you really have to go to other lower houses."
There is such a thing? Chen Mu was surprised.
When he came to Wuyan Mountain, he mainly practiced in peace. Apart from the pretext of being a proofreader in the Sutra Pavilion, I haven't made elixirs for the General Affairs Office for a long time, but I didn't expect such a change.
However, it's better not to give me Dao Gong! With this excuse, I can leave Dongling Wushan with a clear conscience.
"It's a bit difficult." The bald middle-aged man frowned: "Your request involves all the lower houses of Jilong Dao. It's not easy to find suitable tasks in a short time."
"Please take care of it, manager." Chen Mu stepped forward, took out a gray cloth bag from his sleeve, and quietly placed it next to the pen holder at the corner of the table.
The bald middle-aged man waved his hand and put it into his sleeve, and his brows relaxed immediately: "Then I'll help you take a look."
As soon as the voice fell, he leaned back slightly and rolled his eyes. Then, dense silver-white light spots emerged from the bottom of his eyes. The light spots kept jumping and rotating, like stars in the sky.
Chen Mu looked at the other person's eyes in surprise.
In the past, whether in the lower house of Tongtian River or Dongling Wushan, he always looked for work locally. When the managers of the General Affairs Office assign tasks, they all need to take books and records to search and look through them on the spot.
This person...
"Could it be that he has memorized all the information in his mind?!"
It involves the transfer of personnel in the entire Jilong Dao, and that information is not just a little bit.
This...
A humanoid computer!
Chen Mu's interest increased greatly, and he stared at the other party closely.
"No wonder Qing Lu knows the location of every volume of the Sutra Pavilion. It is probably because of this secret method." Chen Mu suddenly realized.
"Found it!" Not long after, the light in the middle-aged man's eyes converged.
"You are really lucky." The bald middle-aged man looked surprised: "The upper house of Jilong Dao is actually short of people to refine the Bigu Pill!"
Can go to the upper house? There is such a good thing? !
"There are disciples of the Danbao Pavilion who want to come to Dongling, and they are short of people to replace them, so..." The bald middle-aged man looked at Chen Mu, with some envy on his face.
"That is the core upper house of Jilong Dao. Why would you think of coming to the remote Dongling Five Mountains?" Chen Mu was puzzled.
Since the five mountains of Dongling were completely opened up, there has been a continuous flow of disciples from the upper courtyard.
"It's not surprising. Although this place is remote, it costs less." The bald middle-aged man said calmly: "The Yuquan Mountain Dojo is newly built, and the price is only half of the upper courtyard."
"The other four mountains will also be built one after another, and the price may be even cheaper."
"Food, housing, cultivation resources, all aspects of the price are more cost-effective than the upper courtyard."
Chen Mu suddenly realized.
This is like a first-tier city in the previous life. It is more prosperous, but the cost of living is also higher.
The five mountains of Dongling were newly developed, with low consumption and many opportunities, so disciples from the upper courtyard flocked here.
"If you want to go, I'll record it for you."
"When the Yueyun Bat flying boat arrives next time, you can follow it to the upper courtyard of Jilongdao."
Chen Mu nodded immediately: "Please take care of it."
He has a delicate jade plate that can gather the earth's spiritual energy, and his dependence on the dojo is limited.
Others think that the upper courtyard dojo is expensive, but he values the stability and safety of the upper courtyard more.
…
The west side of the mountainside in the misty mountain.
In the dense jungle, a piece of empty land without trees or grass looks as ugly as a patch, and a light gray mist permeates it.
A fist-sized black-feathered bird spread its wings and glided. As soon as it passed through the gray mist, it immediately began to sway left and right, running around like a drunk. It didn't fly far before it fell into the dense forest.
In the center of the open space, on the first floor of the alchemy bamboo building.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged behind the long table, holding the Hunyuan furnace with both hands, concentrating on controlling the magic power to make the elixir.
Puff!
A muffled sound came, and Chen Mu sighed, his face full of regret.
"Just a little bit..."
The magic power pulled, and the lid of the alchemy furnace bounced up and floated in the air. A cloud of gray smoke suddenly rose and filled the air.
Waving his hand to raise a strong wind, Chen Mu fanned the scrapped miasma out of the room. While using the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains to clean the furnace, he recalled and reviewed the situation.
Although he was a little disappointed, he was not depressed.
The values on the gray wall had told him that although he had failed just now, he had also gained a lot of experience.
At this stage, Chen Mu had mastered all the essence of the poisonous miasma, the Tongxi magic talisman used to absorb the poisonous miasma, and the Jinzhu magic talisman used to make the pill.
"As long as I am familiar with the fusion conditions such as Qi Ban Lei Yin required for the Bai Miasma Pill, I can make the pill in one fell swoop." Thinking of this, Chen Mu called up the gray wall.
Alchemy (Tongxi Bai Miasma Pill): 8280/10000;
"Soon."
After a short rest, he put the poisonous miasma and the essence of the earth spirit Tongxi horn into the furnace again, and started to make pills again.
With previous experience, under the wind and fire cardinal spell, the control of Qi Ban Lei Yin became more and more proficient.
In just a quarter of an hour, the Hunyuan furnace suddenly trembled. Chen Mu's tense face relaxed immediately after sensing the furnace with his magic power.
He quickly opened the furnace cover and used his Qi to capture it.
A gray, translucent pill the size of a quail egg floated before his eyes.
"It's done!"
...
Outside the door of the alchemy wooden building, a rocking chair was placed by the east window.
Chen Mu lay in the chair, holding the freshly baked Baizhao Pill and looking at it.
He could clearly feel that a vague force was circulating around him with the pill as the center.
Under this force, the light gray mist that was originally lingering near the bamboo building was slowly pulled towards Chen Mu.
When it was three meters away from Chen Mu, it was gathered by the invisible force and turned into thin, invisible threads that penetrated into the Baizhao Pill and disappeared.
"The miasma absorbed by the Hundred Miasma Pill itself is released with a special method, and it can still be used to refine the Hundred Miasma Pill. Tsk tsk..."
"A wonderful idea, Master Rong Qiu has a good method."
After pondering for a while, Chen Mu put away the pill.
"The Hundred Miasma Pill is made, which is also a great accomplishment."
"I have to think about how to leave Wuyan Mountain."
He is now a clerk in the Sutra School. If he wants to leave, he must find someone to replace him first.
But the salary of the clerk in Wuyan Mountain is too low, and Duyuan Qinglu is an obsessive-compulsive cleansing person with many requirements. Except for people like him who don't lack white jade and want a stable training environment, there are really not many people willing to do it.
And recently, the five mountains of Dongling have developed rapidly, and there are many ways to earn white jade money. At this time, I want to find someone to take over this hard job...
"It's a bit difficult."
