Chapter 394 Reunion
Outside a small building on Sunrise Mountain.
The Vermilion Feather Sword danced nimbly in the open space in front of the building, resembling butterflies flitting through flowers.
Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, directing the magic sword while contemplating how to make money.
He had a fair number of medicinal herbs and ore fragments on hand, all of which were obtained from looting corpses. It was fine to deal with small amounts, but a bulk sale would not be very prudent.
Refining Fasting Pills was a good job, yielding four to five hundred White Jade each month.
But whether it was operating the Exquisite Jade Plate or concocting Replenishing Origin Soup, White Jade Coins were needed. The income from alchemy barely covered daily cultivation expenses.
The trouble was that Jilong Mountain was undergoing a major relocation, and all the essence of grains had been sent to Jade Spring Mountain.
He could only wait until the spiritual field of Jilong Mountain was remodeled and Yellow Bud Rice was harvested before he would have the raw materials for alchemy.
"If I had known, I would have just bought Kui Water Yin Thunder."
"Netherworld Grand Summary is just a ruse, there was no need to buy it so early."
He had saved quite a lot of White Jade, but unfortunately, between relocation purchasing, daily cultivation, and the exorbitant exchange for secret techniques, his savings gradually dwindled away.
Hum!
A hum sounded, and the sky suddenly darkened as a huge cloud bat flying boat slowly rose from below Sunrise Mountain.
Chen Mu glanced at it casually, his expression unchanged.
Recently, with the large-scale relocation beginning at Jilong Mountain, cloud bat flying boats had been appearing frequently.
As a large number of residents moved away from Sunrise Mountain, many vacant buildings and courtyards could be found in the mountain.
In the past, when he flew his Vermilion Feather Sword, he would be very careful to avoid others. Now, as he flew unimpeded across the mountain, he saw hardly any signs of life.
Chen Mu's mind suddenly stirred.
"East Ridge is most famous for its poisonous insects and poisonous miasma."
"With so many people concentrated on relocating, wouldn't the elixirs and charm scripts used for poison avoidance and detoxification become very valuable?"
Chen Mu couldn't help but feel exhilarated.
Amidst rolling black smoke, a dull-looking, shiny, air-storing gourd appeared before him.
Chen Mu reached out to pick up the gourd, which was unremarkable in appearance, and played with it affectionately.
Back in the underground caverns, he had easily knocked over his fellow prisoners with the poisonous miasma.
Ever since then, this unique local product of East Ridge had been on Chen Mu's list of essentials for home and travel.
As soon as the chaos at Mist Smoke Mountain subsided a bit, he immediately went to buy ten gourds of the essence of poisonous miasma, always carrying them with him.
"Just need to buy the Earth Spirit Rhino Horn..." Chen Mu couldn't help but clench his fist
...
There was a vast open space in front of Sunrise Mountain, as large as a modern-day stadium.
The ground was paved with blue stone slabs, and two huge cloud bat flying boats docked side by side in the middle.
Surrounding the area, a circle of buildings stood tall.
This was the location of the Jilong Mountain Market District.
Inside a business establishment.
"Earth Spirit Rhino Horn, one hundred and eighty White Jade each, how many would the customer like?"
"Weren't they only sixty to seventy White Jade before?" Chen Mu was astonished.
"You seem to be knowledgeable," the shopkeeper said with a composed smile.
"A familiar face, transparent pricing, and a developed loose goods network."
It's a pity that Jia Tian had always been active in East Ridge and hadn't come to Jilong Mountain.
"Perhaps, take a trip to Jade Spring Mountain?"
...
Market District at the foot of Sunrise Mountain.
Chen Mu stood on a small hill at the base of Sunrise Mountain, gazing distantly at the Cloud Bat Flying Boat, his brows furrowed with worry.
He had just finished inquiring. The Cloud Bat Flying Boat was prioritized for the Upper Court's relocation. He wouldn't be able to buy a ticket or board the boat anytime soon.
Traverse mountains and valleys to get to Jade Spring Mountain by himself?
"I'd have to be crazy to go alone. What if I were to encounter a powerful aggressor on the way?" Chen Mu quickly shook his head.
He didn't hurry off. Instead, he stood there, intently watching the flying boat.
It was said that the main body of the Cloud Bat Flying Boat was a type of demon beast called the Cloud Bat, captured and transformed by the Thousand Mechanisms Sect. One could tell by its mountain-like size that, in life, it must have been strong.
"Truly worthy of being an ancient sect that spans multiple continents."
"To casually capture such demonic beasts and turn them into standardized Magic Artifacts for sale, tsk tsk..."
As he was engrossed in his thoughts, he suddenly felt a rhythmic throbbing from the ground.
Chen Mu swiftly turned his head only to see a beautiful two-person-tall toad slowly rising from the ground.
Its whole body was as white as jade, with three golden lines stretching from its forehead to its back.
Two slightly dull big eyes were staring at Chen Mu, full of curiosity.
A Cold Moon Chan Yuanbao?
For a while, as if recognizing Chen Mu, a somewhat naive croak sounded in Chen Mu's ear.
Croak!
"Hello?"
"Oh, hello to you too!"
"Croak!"
"Long time no see?"
"Indeed, it's been quite some years since we last saw each other," Chen Mu remarked with a smile.
After so many years, Yuanbao the toad was still as polite as ever.
"Eh? Are you Chen Mu?"
Accompanied by a question, a cyan Escape Light descended from the sky.
A person with a stiff, wooden expression, both unfamiliar and familiar, appeared beside Yuanbao.
Mo Wuzhou?
The genius from the Lower Courtyard of the Tongtian River, Mo Wuzhou, who was taken in as a personal disciple by Rong Qiu, the Pavilion Master of Pill Treasure Pavilion?
Why was he still at Jilong Mountain?
A thought suddenly struck Chen Mu.
He had just been worrying about who to sell the All-Disease Pills to.
The suitable candidate had just appeared!
