The town of Ximu is on the north side of the Helgen Fortress, and there are a dozen or so stone houses around a small river. The guards patrolling the town were wearing Imperial soldier armor, and Li Mu and Larov had already thrown away the cloth armor of the Storm Cloak before entering the town.

**Walk into Creekwood Town with your upper body, as long as you are not a wanted criminal or a rebel, the guards in the town will not care if you wear it or not.

Under the warm hospitality of Larov's sister Gordo and brother-in-law Hood, Li Mu had no idea of working in the lumberyard. finally escaped, for the sake of the task, the most important thing for Li Mu at the moment is to know where he is.

When Li Mu tentatively asked the Larov siblings if they knew about Gushan and the Hobbits, they both said that they had never heard of it, only that this was the town of Ximu, under the rule of Snow Man. To find out more, Li Mu would do well to go to Horsgar Peak, east of Creek Town, and ask the well-informed and knowledgeable Graybeard.

However, although the distance from Keimu Town to Khosga Peak is not very far, it is a three-day walk, and there is a dense forest in between. Wolves and robbers abound, and the occasional trolls and frost spiders passing by are even more dangerous.

The safest way to get from Creek to the heights of Hostgaard is to rent a carriage and hire a few bodyguards to accompany you. But all this needs gold coins to achieve, and Li Mu, who is penniless, has no choice but to give up his plan to go to Horsgar Peak and find some odd jobs in Ximu Town for the time being.

At Larov's suggestion, pharmacists are a lucrative business, buying all kinds of raw materials at low prices, and through alchemy, synthesizing various potions and selling them to trade shops, which is much faster than doing odd jobs to make money.

But the pharmacist is just Li Mu's casual identity, with Li Mu's cognition of this strange world, all kinds of herbs have not been recognized, and how to synthesize medicines.

However, fortunately, as soon as Li Mu arrived at the trading shop in the town, he saw the shopkeeper operating on the alchemy table. And the alchemy that Larov mentioned turned out to be boiling Chinese medicine, but compared to the difficulty of boiling Chinese medicine, this alchemy is simple.

Any two or four kinds of medicinal herbs are put into the alchemy table, and the alchemy table can run automatically by pressing the start button. But seeing that this boss has been busy for a long time, he hasn't made anything, and gray mist has exploded more than ten times in a row, Li Muzhen doesn't know what this guy is doing.

Today, another pile of raw materials was wasted, and when Lucho Valeris turned around, he saw Li Mu, a stranger, standing behind him, with a smile on his face.

As if laughing at his own inadequacy, Lu Shu asked in an unkind tone, "Sir, is there something wrong?" Need to buy something? ”

"Is there any salt?"

"Of course, six gold coins a bag."

For some reason, people in this world don't eat much salt, and the food they often eat is either baked potatoes, or charcoal-grilled meats, coated with jam or something, and the taste is generally sweet.

This directly leads to the low reserves of salt and the high market price, and a bag of six gold coins is worth half of the monthly salary here, which is really ridiculously expensive. From Larov, Li Mu only borrowed five gold coins, and Li Mu, who did not have enough money in his hand, had to bargain: "It's so expensive, are you going to be a foreigner and kill me!" Three gold coins! ”

Li Mu's ridicule had already made Lu Chop unhappy, but now that he heard Li Mu bargaining with him, Lu Chop's face became cold, and he said impatiently: "Love to buy or not, Skyrim doesn't bargain." ”

Damn, a shopkeeper is like that!

Holding back his anger, Li Mu glanced at Lu Qi with disdain, and said seductively: "I saw your alchemy technique just now, it's really rough!" Wasted a whole bunch of materials and got nothing. I'm a pharmacist from the south, and if you give me a discount, I'll sell you the potion I've refined at a 10% discount. ”

"You're a pharmacist, not kidding, are you? Brother, don't be deceived! ”

Look at Li Mu's coarse linen clothes, no matter how he looks like a rich pharmacist, without waiting for Lu Chop to speak, Lu Chop's sister Kemira expressed doubts about Li Mu's statement.

Feeling the distrust of Lu Qi and the others, Li Mu held back his anger and continued: "You don't believe it, do you? If I hadn't encountered an attack from the Frost Spider on the way here, I wouldn't have dropped everything. When I refine a few bottles of potion, I will have money. You'd better trust me, or I'll be in the next town, and someone else will make the money. ”

Li Mu's pretense seemed to shock the two brothers and sisters of Lu Chop, and I don't know if Li Mu is so confident, but it is rare to see a pharmacist, and Lu Chop's sister Kemira is still quite curious.

Under the purging of his sister Kemila, he got the salt bought by three gold coins, and with a handful of prunella grass picked up on the side of the road, Li Mu planned to make some medicine to clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain. Unexpectedly, as soon as they were put into the alchemy table, the prunella grass and salt underwent wonderful changes. The two substances are continuously decomposed and recombined in the diversion bottle, and finally form a green liquid.

Seeing that Li Mu had succeeded in one attempt, the shopkeeper Lu Shu was very shocked. I didn't expect that the person I was teasing was really a pharmacist, and when he thought that he had almost offended Li Mu, Lu Qi hurriedly nodded and apologized: "Pharmacist master, you are too powerful, this is a slowing potion." Sell it to me at full price, and I'll make sure your potion sells well in my shop. ”

Slowing potions? Could it be that the little purple flower at hand is not prunella, but really the death knell that Larov said. I obviously want to make a heat-clearing and detoxification medicine, how did I turn it into a slowing potion.

Knocking on the side and slashing on the side, Li Mu realized that the slowing potion in his hand could actually slow down the target creature by half for 22 seconds. The higher the alchemy level, the better the alchemy effect will be when using the same formula.

A bag of salt bought for three gold coins, combined with the death knell picked up on the side of the road, and the synthetic slowing potion, a bottle of medicine was sold for 58 gold coins at full price, making a net profit of 55 gold coins. Pharmacists are really rich people, as long as they know the recipe and have enough materials, they can make unlimited money.

However, when Li Mu wanted to buy some salt again, the shopkeeper Lu Shu said that the bag of salt just now was the last pack. The people in the town basically don't eat salt, so he doesn't have any stock of road cutters, and the only way to buy them is to wait for the traveling merchants to pass by, or go to the snowy city through the dangerous forest.

The plan to make a fortune was disillusioned before it began, but Li Mu was not disappointed, the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs he knew may have changed, but he was still able to make potions.

Regardless of the effect of the potion, Li Mu now has money in his hands, and he will exchange it for a large number of raw materials to test one by one. This really allowed Li Mu to come up with a lot of useful potions, such as the blue flower in the pansy, which is called the blue mountain flower by the locals here. Mixed with wheat, it actually became a hemostat, but the selling price was not high, only 8 gold coins.

However, fortunately, Blue Mountain Flower and wheat are common materials, and Li Mu refines them in large quantities here, and all the hemostatic agents obtained are sold to Lu Chop.

Within three days, Li Mu had raised enough money and hired the best marksman in town, Firondahl, to protect him, and Li Mu left Ximu Town for the Heights of Hosgar under the escort of the Larov siblings.
