According to the introduction of the elder Taoist of the Jing Yuan, the pure concept has always had the ambition of maintaining the safety of Luojiazhuang and eliminating the monsters of Lion Camel Mountain since its establishment, but it is still in recent years to say that this idea has been put into practice.

In the past, Luojiazhuang was no different from the surrounding small villages, although it was supported by a pure concept, but it could only survive under the terrible demon tide.

It wasn't until thirty years ago that the previous master of the Qingjing Temple, that is, the master of the Jingyuan Daoist, killed three big demons with the power of one person, and killed two of them seriously injured one, and suddenly hit the monster power sluggish, creating a feat that the Qingjing View had never seen before.

And the real exploration of Lion Camel Mountain only began at that time.

The old master was seriously wounded in that battle and died soon after, and the Jingyuan Daoist, who had just turned twenty, had to take over the position of the Guanzhu, and since then he has not left Luojiazhuang for some reason, and the exploration of Lion Camel Mountain has been temporarily stopped, and it was not until a few years later that he accepted Qingmu Daoist as a disciple and restarted the project.

However, with the level of the peak of the eldest disciple's qi cultivation at that time, a person's exploration in the Lion Camel Mountain was naturally slow and small, and the truly valuable discovery was only obtained after he was promoted to the foundation two years ago.

These discoveries have now spread throughout the Demon Punishment Society, and Mu Yan has long known about them, and there are only two ways to sum them up:

First, the monsters in the Lion Camel Mountain live in groups around the demon generals, and the closer to the demon generals, the stronger the monsters are.

Second, the demon general's station is about in the series of valleys northeast of Luojiazhuang.

Other news is still under investigation, and the investigation team sent into the mountains by the Demon Punishment Society these days is drawing out the explored topographic maps day and night, waiting for the coming day to come in handy.

In general, apart from some knowledge of Dao cultivation and the approximate strength distribution of some monsters, Mu Yan didn't get any more information from the Jingyuan Dao Master.

He can't say that he is too disappointed with such a result, at most it is a pity, after all, the way to obtain information is broken, if there is no useful news from the Demon Punishment Society and Qingmu Daochang in the next half month, he will have to go into the mountain to investigate in person.

So in the following time, he patiently waited for the news of the Demon Punishment Society, and at the same time planned step by step.

The days of this half month can be said to be calm.

After Mu Yan released that he needed to collect monster materials, during this time, there were constantly some people with goods in hand to trade with Mu Yan.

To Mu Yan's expectation, only a small number of most of the people who came to trade came to treat diseases, and more people came to ask for fortune telling, and to seek charms to eliminate disasters......

Hell, draw a talisman? Fortune telling? Mu Yan, a fake Taoist, doesn't have this function at all!

is obviously a "magic doctor", why does he feel like a charlatan?

But there is no way, in the impression of ordinary people, Taoist priests are able to draw talismans, that is, they can tell fortunes, and Mu Yan is destined to have such a day when he plays the sign of Taoist priests.

It is impossible for him to explain to others that he can't draw talismans, can't tell hexagrams, and can only alchemy, so that if you don't say that the mystery that Mu Yan has painstakingly created will collapse most of it, it's still a problem if people can't understand it.

Just like to explain to these people that he is a wizard who rubs fireballs and is not a Taoist priest who steps on a flying sword, in this world, how can so many people know what kind of profession a Taoist is, they only know that they can tell hexagrams, those who can draw talismans must be Taoist priests, those who can't tell hexagrams must be liars, and those who can't draw talismans must be hereticals!

But fortunately, this little difficulty can't stump Mu Yan, as the famous Hogwarts Mu Yan takes the first place in any class, he can't tell fortunes, but he can divination! He can't draw talismans, but he's good at alchemy!

These people can't even tell the difference between magic and Taoism, and fooling them is not the same as playing.

Although for Mu Yan now, divination and alchemy are more face-to-face, and flickering is also different from person to person, but there is nothing that can't be done with a single memory magic!

The divination does not produce results, the guidance spell hints, the alchemy materials are scrapped, and a forgetting spell is sent out of the door by the way, no problem!

However, most of the time, Mu Yan tried his best to complete these two tasks, after all, this was also a rare opportunity to practice.

The same method was also applied to a large number of high-level officials in Luojiazhuang and some people around him.

As a well-known wild Taoist priest, he has been dealing with the high-level of Luojiazhuang for a long time, in order to maintain his image of a Taoist priest who is high and does not eat fireworks in the world, he generally does not take the initiative to find these high-level people, but once a high-level visit, he will not be stingy with his magic to impose a guiding spell on the other party, and hint at it.

This is done on the one hand to get more information out, and on the other hand, it is also to allow them to introduce more people to him (thanks again to Mr. Lockhart, the most beautiful smile, for his spell-casting skills have helped Mu Yan a lot).

In half a month, he has planted hints to the five high-level and strengthened them, and it is a pity that he has not seen anyone at the level of the Zhuang's Mansion at the higher level, so he has not been able to break into the core circle.

But even so, he also has a more detailed understanding of Luojiazhuang's capital flow, personnel flow, and population ratio changes in recent years.

As far as he knew, most of the money that had fallen into the owner's mansion over the years had been used to buy weapons and armor, and the rest had been used to expand the territory, but even so, the houses in Locke's Village had been in a state of scarcity.

This is also where Mu Yan is puzzled, Luojiazhuang will experience two or three demon tides every year, even if they have solid stone walls, more and more guards, there are still countless people who die in the demon tide every year, even if Luojiazhuang will issue preferential land prices and tax exemption for one year after each war to attract more outsiders to move in, but in such a short period of time, with the danger of Luojiazhuang, the number of people that can be attracted is not to mention expanding, it is difficult to keep the same, so how does Luojiazhuang achieve annual population growth?

For this problem, the high-level leaders of Luojiazhuang themselves can't say clearly, only that every time the demon tide is left, there will be so many people left, and there are so many people unconsciously.

Naturally, this kind of answer couldn't fool Mu Yan here, although there were some guesses, but he couldn't find out for the time being, so he could only secretly write it down and order two of them to investigate secretly.

On the other hand, the flow of people in Luojiazhuang is mainly businessmen, among which there are several medicine merchants and miners the most, every spring and winter is the time when a large number of medicine merchants pour in, and miners can meet one or two every day, the rich resources of the Lion Camel Mountains have brought countless business opportunities to the surrounding small countries, basically as long as you can run twice a year, the next two years will be able to worry about food and clothing.

Most of these merchants come from some large and small trading houses in various countries, which change every year, and only five trading houses that have not changed since the establishment of Luojiazhuang have been in the hands of successive generations of owners, and have the right to trade directly with the owners.

These firms have brought countless fortunes to Locke's Estate, and perhaps this is why Locke's Cottage is so dangerous, but there are always people who want to come in.

To be honest, this kind of information doesn't seem to be helpful for the main quest now, but Mu Yan still habitually keeps every detail in his hands in order to make the most detailed plan.

This is a lesson learned in the world of Harry Potter, I think he just didn't figure out how to make Horcruxes in the first place, and as a result, he was almost defeated by Voldemort.

This is a lesson he has always remembered.

After arranging the affairs of Luojiazhuang's high-level management, Mu Yan devoted the rest of his time to improving his strength.

The monster's corpse was consumed over the course of thirty days, but aside from some records of changes in the structure of the creatures and the acquisition of a lot of useful youkai materials, there wasn't much progress in the actual situation.

The reason for the evolution of yokai is not so easy to figure out.

After repeated failures, Mu Yan did not show any disappointment, and still steadily maintained the dissection of a monster corpse and the magic reconciliation experiment every day, replacing the experimental subjects on the dissecting table repeatedly like a cold machine.

As the days passed, countless experimental data had been recorded in the Book of Memory, but the appearance did not seem to have changed much, the black cover still exuded an evil smell, the yellowed pages were still so old, and countless text symbols appeared on it and quickly faded away, when Mu Yan's fingertips crossed the pages, those previous knowledge would emerge one by one.

As Mu Yan's dissection skills became more and more proficient, the content recorded in the Book of Memories gradually decreased, and sometimes even had no records at all.

This means that Mu Yan's understanding of the body structure of ordinary organisms has reached a very high level, but he still hasn't stopped experimenting, and is still carefully observing and analyzing all the reasons that may cause the essential changes of monsters.

In addition to the experimental time, every morning, after a big bell in the owner's mansion rang three times, two gray-haired old men would come to Mu Yan's residence to teach Mu Yan medical skills.

They are the two most respected doctors in Baicaopu, and what they teach Mu Yan is their life's work and painstaking work.

These things, let alone disciples, are not necessarily taught by ordinary people, even if they are their own sons, but when they come to Mu Yan, they can't wait to take out all the things in their heads to show him.

Needless to say, both of them fell for Mu Yan's simplified version of the Soul Capture.

Mu Yan frantically absorbed the herb knowledge and medical concepts of this world on them, and with the advantage of his strong soul, he memorized the medicinal properties of herbs in less than half a month.

After that, with the nameless alchemy book given by Daoist Jingyuan, Mu Yan began to try to replace the potions in his memory with monster materials and herbs, trying to make some potions that would be useful to him.
