Default Very much expensive????

Is it possible to say 'very much expensive'?

I think 'very' modifies nouns and adjectives and 'much' does
verbs. Also

I think it's much too hot for walking.

In this case, can I say 'I think it's very much hot for walking'?

Quite confusing, huh?

Always appreciate your help..

It's too expensive. (OK)
It's much too expensive. (OK)

Note the position of "much". It comes before "too".

It's very expensive. (OK)
It's very much expensive. (Not OK)

Note the position of "much". It comes after "very".
