Chapter 3: Not allowed to pay off
In a disappointment, a tall and thin middle-aged man opened the door.
He looked at Chen Mu coldly and asked, "What are you here to do?"
Chen Mu took out a bottle containing the Hot Three Sheep Pill from his arms and was about to speak.
A voice came from behind the middle-aged man, "Muwazi, if you borrowed the debt of the King of Hell, even if you pay our Chen family, you will not be able to save you. Be good, accumulate some virtue, don't harm others!" As he spoke, a yellow-faced woman flashed from behind the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned around and scolded, "What do you know? Don't interrupt me when I speak!"
After scolding the woman, he turned around and asked, "What are you here to do? Have you borrowed money?"
Chen Mu handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to the other party and said, "Uncle Wu, this is the Three Sheep Pill I just refined, look at it."
The middle-aged man took the porcelain bottle, opened it and looked, smelled it, and said, "It seems that it is true, but this alchemy does not mean that you can make money by practicing it, and you can make money. How many furnaces will you make? Don't tell me, you borrowed 300 taels of usury before you practiced a furnace?"
Chen Mu said: "What can that be? I have more than 60% of the elixirs now practicing Sanyang Pill!"
The middle-aged man was surprised to hear this and said, "Really?"
"Really, I came here this time to invite you and uncle to watch my alchemy together."
The middle-aged man was immediately happy when he heard this, his face was much flattened, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay..." He rubbed his hands and said, "Let's go, let's treat your uncle together, I know you are not that kind of person! The Three Sheep Pill has a success rate of 60%, and even three hundred taels of Hell's debt cannot crush you!"
Seeing the middle-aged man chattering and excitedly, Chen Mu suddenly became a little envious of his predecessor. His fifth uncle really cared about him and hoped that he would be well.
Chen Mu grabbed Uncle Wu who was about to leave, stuffed the Sanyang Pill into his arms, and said, "Uncle Wu, please help me invite uncle, I'll go find Yao Laosan."
Uncle Wu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Okay, I'll treat your uncle. You should call Yao Laosan. He has lent you all his wife. You should be the first to give him a peace of mind." After that, he left excitedly.
The yellow-faced woman inside the door looked at Chen Mu with suspicion, opened her mouth at Uncle Wu's back, but finally said nothing.
Chen Mu smiled at the woman and said, "Aunt Wu, come and have a look later. When I earn the spirit stone, I will be the first to repay you. The promised three-point profit will never be short of you."
The woman forced a smile and said, "It's enough to pay it back. Anything that is not good or bad is your own."
Looking at Chen Mu's back as he left, the woman frowned and looked for a while, and finally shook her head skeptically and closed the yard gate.
Chen Mu walked towards his home, crossed his own gate, walked not far away, and left the alley.
He walked along the street for a while and got into another narrow alley.
Deep in the alley, Chen Mu came to the door of a house and knocked hard.
After a while, the door opened and a fat young man, who saw Chen Mu, looked dark and said, "What are you doing again? Isn't it enough to harm me?"
Chen Mu said: "Third brother, I asked you to come and learn to refine my alchemy. I have now practiced the Sanyang Pill to achieve more than 60% of the elixir rate. You are my big creditor, so besides my fifth uncle, I will inform you the second one, that I can repay your spirit stone!"
The fat black man was skeptical when he heard this, "Really?"
Chen Mu said: "I'm afraid you don't believe it, so I asked you to see me refining elixirs. Let's go to my house first, and my uncle and fifth uncle will come to see you later."
Hearing this, the fat black man walked out of the door, turned around and locked the door and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and have a look."
When the two returned to Chen Mu's house, Chen Mu's fifth uncle and uncle had already arrived.
Chen Mu's uncle is burly and majestic. He is in his sixties this year, but his face is rosy and straight, and he looks younger than his fifth uncle who is in his fifties.
Chen Mu's uncle works as a shopkeeper in a shop and is the best in the Chen family's previous generation.
He looked at Chen Mu who was walking, his eyes full of doubt, "As long as you can really achieve a 60% elixir rate, I will not only repay you for the benefit of the King of Hell this month, but also give you spirit stones for you to continue to refine elixirs. But if you dare to lie to us, then we will be ruthless and you will no longer be my Chen family!"
Chen Mu said: "Okay, as my uncle said, if I can't do it, I will leave this house to my uncle and fifth uncle to deal with it. I will go to Hengtongzhuang myself and let him kill him!"
The uncle looked at Chen Mu in surprise, nodded, and said, "I didn't expect that after this, you will have a little more responsibility."
The four of them entered the yard. Chen Mu tied the door and let everyone into the main hall. He didn't say much nonsense. He walked to the alchemy furnace, stretched out his hand and lit the alchemy furnace...
As Chen Mu ignited the alchemy furnace and began to add medicine to the furnace at a rhythm like a new cloud and flowing water, the original distrust on my uncle's face was gradually replaced by the solemn lock.
The worry on Uncle Wu's face gradually turned into excitement...
Only Yao Laosan looked confused, and the dog looked at the stars, not knowing why...
Half an hour, with Chen Mu's concentration, the excitement of the uncle and the fifth uncle, and Yao Lao San's restlessness passed away, quickly or slowly. Chen Mu held the elixir bowl and placed it in front of the uncle...
The uncle picked up a pill from the bowl, looked at it first, then smelled it, and finally put a small piece of it in his mouth and tasted it.
He closed his eyes and felt it for a while, opened his eyes and nodded, "Not only did it, but it was also of good quality."
Although Uncle Wu had expected this result, he couldn't help but smile when he twisted his beard.
Yao Laosan was excited and punched Chen Mu hard.
After confirmation, Chen Mu turned around and continued to start work without saying a word!
The third furnace is still elixir!
After seeing the third furnace of elixirs, Uncle Chen Mu suddenly raised his head, looked at the roof and said, "Second, your Mu baby is promising!"
Uncle Wu's eyes were also red and sighed.
Yao Laosan's fat face was already smiling and his eyes were almost gone.
It’s all about connecting three furnaces!
The uncle put down the pills, clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Muwa, put away the medicine, leave it to me for buying medicine. The uncle will definitely buy you a good price... Let's go now, I'll go to Hengtongzhuang with you. I'll give you the profits for this month first. From now on, you can refine pills at home and don't worry about other things."
Chen Mu was a little surprised. He had to learn alchemy before, but his uncle tried every means to obstruct him. After he refused to listen to his advice, he did not lie to him and did not lend him a penny to the alchemy. However, the fifth uncle and his best friend Yao Laosan were very harmful to him, and he borrowed dozens of taels of spirit stones from each other.
I didn't expect my uncle to be so generous today.
Chen Mu collected the pill and handed the porcelain bottle to his uncle. The four of them left the yard, first went to Uncle Chen Mu's house to get the spirit stones, then left the alley together, and headed straight for Hengtong Village.
Hengtong Village is located at a crossroads, occupying a corner of the cross, with a two-story storefront, a front shop and a backyard, which is very spacious and stylish.
This shop is actually just a branch in Hengtongzhuang.
Hengtongzhuang’s main business is a pawnshop, and loan sharing is also a duty.
Chen Mu took out the loan note and explained his purpose.
Chaofeng was a little surprised that someone came to pay off the profits in advance, but he did not make things difficult for him.
After paying back the profit this month and getting the receipt, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The debt of the King of Hell was like a rope strangling his neck. He couldn't breathe. Now he was finally relaxed a little, and he began to think about how long he could pay off all the debt of the King of Hell.
After getting the receipt, the four of them left Hengtong Village. The uncle asked while walking, "Muwa, how many years did you borrow this loan note when you wrote the loan note?"
Chen Mudao: "Three years."
