My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 135 Fifth Level
Back home, Chen Mu was in a great mood.

It was worth it for him to go and keep watch right after breakfast.

I wanted to see where this old man was going and give him two iron lotus seeds along the way.

Unexpectedly, there was an additional benefit.

Chen Muxi happily checked the banknotes.

Having successfully obtained the resettlement allowance, his total wealth surged to over 20,000 taels.

"We're considered rich now!"

"I have no worries about food and drink, and I even have spare money to listen to music in brothels. So what if my cultivation is slow?" Chen Mu said with a sense of relief.

With enough proficiency, mastering the Armor Soul technique is only a matter of time.

What's the rush?

"People who cultivate their spirit for a hundred years still practice step by step."

"I'm someone who might reach the Jiapo level at forty, what's the rush!"

……

Once things settled down, Chen Mu's life returned to normal.

The Lijiang Fortress is located south of Daliang, making it too remote. Although not far from Nanyang Prefecture, it is still far from being a prosperous city.

As a result, the atmosphere in the city was relatively peaceful.

Human suffering is inevitable, but compared to the dire situation in the war-torn northern regions, this place is far more fortunate.

Chen Mu lived a quiet and peaceful life in a small town, focusing on improving his skills.

He even took the time to turn the east side of the yard into a vegetable garden, planting four or five rows of seasonal vegetables.

With a regular daily routine, a month flew by before I knew it.

That evening, after a day of cultivation, he was sitting in the thatched hut drinking tea and gazing at the stars.

In his previous life, he knew nothing about astronomy. Apart from the sun and the moon, his only knowledge was of the Big Dipper, which is shaped like a ladle.

"There seem to be more stars in this world, densely packed together."

"No industrial pollution, so you can see clearly?" Chen Mu pondered, then shook his head.

The Big Dipper is gone, anyway.

"It is ultimately not the original world."

"I wonder if the ground beneath my feet is a ball," Chen Mu muttered.

In his previous life, he had always heard a saying that when you look at a ship sailing in the distance from the sea, the first thing that catches your eye is the top of the sail.

Then, as the ship gets closer, its hull will gradually become visible from top to bottom.

This is because the Earth is a sphere with a curved surface.

He knew about this matter in his previous life, but he never found a place to see it.

"Once I've mastered the Armor Soul, I'll travel the world, starting with a trip to the seaside." Chen Mu set himself a small goal.

They are planning their wonderful future.

boom!
A loud explosion came from inside the city.

The little paper figure on the roof suddenly shot into the sky.

In the dim light of night, nothing could be seen.

The loud noise could only be faintly heard coming from the direction of the Li River in the east of the city.

"Hit again?"

"Were they the same two from a month ago?"

"Or has another expert arrived?"

The four little paper figures all flew into the sky, monitoring the movements in all directions.

All kinds of essential items for home and travel are quickly collected into the Five Ghosts Bag.

Chen Mu sat anxiously in the thatched shed, clutching the Soul-Stabilizing Pill, ready to run away at any moment.

The loud impact lasted for a good quarter of an hour, then gradually diminished until it disappeared.

"He's a monster of humanity!" Chen Mu said, still shaken.

Even from so far away, the sounds of battle made his heart tremble.

How powerful would it be at close range?!

"No wonder the aristocratic families have been trying to reduce the training techniques."

"With a large number of Armored Souls, even aristocratic families with protective spiritual energy can be overwhelmed and worn down by the Armored Souls."

"Should we still run?" Surprisingly, Chen Mu felt less uneasy.

This turbulent world eventually had an impact on Chen Mu.

This gave him a heart that wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either.

"Let's find out what's going on first."

Running around like a headless fly, what if you stumble into some trouble?
……

Chen Mu didn't leave the house until a day later.

As usual, we went to Lijianglou Restaurant, found a corner, ordered a table full of dishes, and ate slowly.

After finishing their meal, they didn't leave. Instead, they ordered a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, and sat in the hall listening to storytellers. They also took the opportunity to gather information.

Chen Mu did not return home until it was almost dark.

"foreigner?"

Chen Mu listened for a day, and there were many different opinions about the identities of the two people that night.

But they had one thing in common: neither of them were local martial artists from Lijiang City.

"What special codes does Lijiang City have?"

Chen Mu sensed something was wrong. It seemed that powerful experts were slowly gathering in Lijiang City.

"Or did you come here to escape the chaos of war in the north?"

Chen Mu was no stranger to refugees from the north.

There are quite a few in Nanyang Prefecture.

Strictly speaking, he was also one of the people who came from the north to seek refuge.

"The order within the city has not been disrupted. Let's stay a while longer and see."

Even the city of Nanyang is not necessarily safe.

If visitors are from the north, Nanyang Prefecture, being a bustling prefecture, will attract even more people.

……

For a period of time afterward, every ten days or so, something would happen.

Fortunately, all of these incidents occurred outside Lijiang City.

It didn't have much impact on the city's residents, but it provided them with some topics for casual conversation.

"Then let's stay a while longer." Chen Mu was slightly relieved.

Even so, he would send the little paper figure out to stand guard every night.

……

More than two months later.

Lijiang City, Lijiang Tower in the east of the city.

In a corner of the lobby on the first floor.

Chen Mu was wearing a gray long gown and had his hair tied up with a gray cloth. He was eating slowly.

Within Lijiang City, only the dishes at Lijianglou are somewhat palatable.

Chen Mu looked up and noticed the clothing of everyone in the lobby, and was taken aback.

"The weather is getting colder," he suddenly realized.

Having used the Soul-Stabilizing Stake air conditioner for a long time, he has remained neither too hot nor too cold, and is not very sensitive to changes in the outside temperature.

With such strong physical fitness, I felt no cold at all.

"Before we knew it, more than four months had passed," Chen Mu remarked.

Lost in thought, he was suddenly drawn to several voices that caught his attention.

"Those families in the south of the city are really unlucky. They were sitting at home when their houses collapsed."

"This is an unexpected disaster; I wonder where this expert came from."

"Has some kind of treasure appeared in Lijiang City?"

"It's hard to say..."

"It's already spread to the city?" Chen Mu couldn't help but frown.

For months, there have been frequent exchanges of martial arts skills around Lijiang City.

Powerful.

Chen Mu even secretly went to the outskirts of the city to take a look.

The small earthen slope was full of potholes, as if it had been blasted by mortars, making it appear shorter.

"The gathering of Jiapo experts in Lijiang City is probably not a good thing."

"Does Lijiang City really have some kind of treasure?" Chen Mu had the idea of ​​leaving.

After listening to the crowd's discussion for a while, Chen Mu paid the bill, shook his head, and left.

Most of these people are just parroting what others say and don't know the truth.

"I must go and see Jie Jia."

That old man is incredibly resourceful; he must know the reason.

……

Back home, Chen Mu sat in a rocking chair and pondered.

He brought up the gray wall and looked at the bottom entry.

Cloud Mirage Form Refinement Technique: 9783/10000/Tier 4;

"No rush, wait three more days."

After more than four months, the Cloud Mirage Form Refining Technique is finally nearing completion.

Three days later, Yun Shen achieved a breakthrough in his Body Refining Technique without any major setbacks.

A cool and refreshing sensation ran through my brain, and a quail egg-sized phantom appeared on the back of my head, near the occipital bone.

"It really is an incomplete version." Chen Mu pouted.

The breathing technique is so complex, yet the wandering spirit is so small, even less powerful than the White Ape Form Refining Technique.

A high-level physical training technique has been weakened into something trash.

"You inhuman bastards." Chen Mu calmly finished his daily curse on the aristocratic families.

I'm preparing to set off for Nanyang Prefecture tomorrow.

He needs to ask what's going on with the gathering of experts in Lijiang City.

As he was secretly speculating, his eyes inadvertently swept across the gray wall, and Chen Mu froze on the spot.

Cloud Mirage Form Refinement Technique: 3/10000/Tier 5;

Chen Mu: “…”

The Wandering Soul hasn't reached its limit yet?!
The Cloud Mirage Body Refining Technique is actually a top-tier body refining technique that leads directly to the Soul Armor stage?!

"Did I...say something wrong?"
