At dusk, the rising billowing black smoke had not stopped, and the entire sky was shrouded in a layer of shadows under the rising black smoke.

In the town, the gate of the courtyard that was still stained with blood slowly opened, and Chu Mu walked out, just like this heavenly dome, between Chu Mu's eyebrows, there was obviously an extra layer of haze.

Chu Mu had already turned a blind eye to the suffering of others, and he had walked for nearly a quarter of an hour from Mingxin Hall, only a few hundred meters away.

"Elder Li."

As usual, Chu Mu respectfully bowed his hand to greet.

"Here we are."

Li Lao put down the book in his hand and looked at Chu Mu who was standing bent, and then his slightly cloudy gaze shifted and he also looked out of the door.

There are many people on the streets, and in addition to the rushing inspections, only the prisoners are left to take them back.

At this moment, there happened to be a team of fleeing conscripts outside the door who were being escorted by the inspection, shouting and scolding endlessly, and many of the sabers carried by the inspectors seemed to be still lying with blood.

After a while, Li Lao said faintly: "I just saw you go to the mountains...... What's going on in the mountains? ”

Chu Mu organized his words, except for his uncertain speculation, all the other discoveries, including the "spirit mine" in the mine, including the words of the man in white he heard, were not concealed, and he said it 1510.

"...... at the beginning of next month"

Old Li's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Chu Mu's gaze, as if he was a little more different.

"Since Brother Mu has embarked on the path of cultivation, it is better to participate less in worldly things, and concentrate on cultivation and strive to embark on the path of immortality as soon as possible."

"Shepherd...... Got it. ”

Chu Mu's heart sank, and he hurriedly responded.

Li Lao bowed his head and picked up the book in his hand again, but he didn't say anything more.

Chu Mu was silent for a moment, but in the end he didn't ask much, walked to the counter, and handed the list of medicinal materials that had been copied by hand to the apprentice behind the counter.

"Brother Mu, do you want it now?"

"Yes."

Chu Mu nodded: "Please help me prepare, I want it now." ”

"It's a bit much, Brother Mu, you wait for a while, I'll go to the warehouse to have a look."

The apprentice took the list and walked away quickly.

Chu Mu stood in front of the counter, his expression calm, but in his mind, there were already thoughts surging.

He was thinking, what did Li Lao's words just now imply? Or is it just a casual remark?

Chu Mu wasn't sure, but he didn't like this feeling very much.

If he can't help but go with the flow, the waves are turbulent, he can't control them at all, whether he wants to or not, it seems that he has to be swept by the turbulent waves.

It has been like this since we came here, and it seems to be the same now.

……

At nightfall, Chu Mucai walked out of Mingxin Hall with several large bags of medicinal herbs.

The candle flame was lit at home, and under the flickering firelight, Chu Mu carefully sorted out these large bags of medicinal materials.

Medicinal materials are valuable, but they are not precious, they are all medicinal materials in their own growth cycle, and as for the medicinal materials beyond the growth cycle...... Chu Mu couldn't buy it even if he wanted to.

The source of medicinal materials in Mingxintang is either the herb pickers in the surrounding villages and towns, or a few medicinal herb shops in the county.

Chu Mu had already inquired clearly, and medicinal materials that exceeded their own growth period were not allowed to be sold according to the laws of Great Chu, and if they were found, they had to be handed over, otherwise, it would be a felony of cutting off their heads.

Of course, this is obviously a law for ordinary people, and people like Li Lao obviously don't take secular laws upside down.

But at the moment, most of the people that Chu Mu can come into contact with are obviously ordinary people, is it difficult for him to find immortal cultivators to buy medicine?

After some inventory, they were put into the medicine cabinet in different categories, and after everything was sorted out, Chu Mu walked to the wardrobe in front of the bed, opened the cabinet door, and on top of the stacked clothes, a delicate small wooden box came into view.

He carefully took out the wooden box, picked up another piece of cloth and put it on the table, and then placed the wooden box on top of the cloth.

When the wooden box was opened, a miniature scale no more than three inches long appeared.

The whole body of the scale rod is golden, on the scale rod that is streamlined and extended, it is a dense scale, the weighing pan is not the size of a child's fist, it is also golden, and the scale is even smaller and exquisite, just like a mini pyramid.

A one-pole scale, as it was called in the name of this era, should be called a centimeter scale.

The so-called centimeter, in this era, is naturally not the well-known unit of length in the previous life, but the unit of weight.

Two, money, cents, cents, milli!

It is the fine unit of weight of this era.

Compared with the previous life, there is no difference between one or two and one or two of meat in the previous life, one penny is about three or four grams in the previous life, and one point is about 0.34 grams, and the centimeter after that, and so on.

As for the larger units, such as stones, buckets, etc., it is obviously difficult to reflect on the medicinal herbs.

And the weight of this mini scale in front of me is enough to be fine!

On the market, the most accurate scales that can be bought are basically stopped at money.

The scale in front of me that can be accurate to the millimeter, whether it has a price or not, I am afraid it is not enough to describe its rarity!

The fundamental reason why such a precious scale can appear in his hands is obviously due to the old Li of the Ming Heart Hall.

Otherwise, it is obviously impossible for him to get this centrimile scale at the moment, whether it is money or connections.

Knowing people and knowing medicines, the precise control of medicinal properties is directly related to the perfection of the final medicinal properties.

The importance of this centimeter scale is obviously very clear to Chu Mu who has stepped into this way.

Chu Mu carefully took out the centimeter scale from the wooden box, and the control of his strength had already been used on this scale without reservation.

"In this way, it may not be accurate enough......"

After weighing out a penny of medicinal materials, looking at the centimeter scale in front of him, Chu Mu was greedy and thought about it.

The ultimate perfection of medicinal power lies in the control of medicinal properties.

And at the moment, even if this centimeter scale, it is only a control of the weight of the medicinal materials, and it is only controlled to the weight of the centimeter.

Although the weight of medicinal materials in a sense, it also corresponds to the medicinal properties, but obviously, this correspondence is rough and approximate, rather than precise.

To achieve true perfection, it should be a direct control of the medicinal properties.

For example, the white peony in front of him, he wanted to neutralize the overall medicinal effect of the cold medicinal properties in the white peony, but the other medicinal properties in the white peony were to be removed through the combination of other medicinal materials.

If it can be accurately controlled, it should be that he directly takes a penny of the white peony, or a penny of the cold medicinal properties, in this way, it is obviously the real perfection.

Thoughts flowed, and in the end, Chu Mu also laughed at himself, this is really a bit ambitious, right now, the weight of this step, he is still just involved, down-to-earth is the king.

If he can really do this, he will go down steadily, and one day, he will come into contact.
