My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 159 Pursuit
Chen Mu looked at the Twelve Heavenly Generals with dissatisfaction: "The stuff is all gone, and you're just standing there like poles. Hurry up and go find it!"

"Is this all the skill your subordinates have? King Chao, I truly feel sorry for you!" Chen Mu lamented.

No matter how much Chen Mu prayed, the twelve heavenly generals remained standing still, holding onto the soul-stabilizing stake.

It was precisely because these people stood still that the formation remained intact.

If he tries to hide by using his spirit form, he can't escape the Yin-taming strategy.

"Let's just wait and see," Chen Mu sighed. He controlled the Yin spirit to drift to a corner, quietly watching Tu Shan destroy the house like a madman.

“Perhaps it’s not human.” Chao Fang was the first to regain his composure.

Tu Shan, who had been berserk just moments before, suddenly appeared before Chao Fang and asked calmly, "What do you mean?"

"There might be another ghost inside the formation," Chao Fang thought, recalling the black smoke from earlier. It clearly resembled a ghostly, monstrous form.

"Continue to increase the delivery of vital energy." Chao Fang's eyes lit up.

The chanting will begin simultaneously on the 12th day.

"But why don't I feel any loss of vital energy?" Chao Fang stared at Yin Hun Ce, looking puzzled.

"I'm going to dismantle it!" Tu Shan said in a deep voice, and with a bang, he jumped into the encirclement of Huan Yin Ce.

His entire body was enveloped in a powerful aura, like a ferocious beast cast in iron, rampaging through the encirclement, attempting to force out the hidden spirits.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Chen Mu exclaimed in amazement from not far away from Cheng Yi.

However, as long as there are no methods to sense and observe the spirits, Chen Mu, hiding beside the Heavenly General, would not be discovered.

Let's see who can outlast whom!

They continued like this until the sun set and it got dark.

Tu Shan and Chao Fang reluctantly withdrew from their formation and left Qingshan County.

Chen Mu resisted the urge to run away.

Still carried by the spirits, it slowly drifted towards the east of the city.

If Chao Fang and Tu Shan were to launch a surprise attack, wouldn't he be finished?

"It's never too late to be careful!"

……

Only after exiting the East Gate and arriving at the banks of the Bailang River did Chen Mu finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's safe now..."

Looking at the emerald green gourd emitting a glowing green light inside the Five Ghosts Bag, Chen Mu's face lit up with joy.

After nearly half a year of planning, they finally obtained a Thousand Machine Token.

A tremendous sense of satisfaction instantly filled my heart.

The feeling was similar to when he had mastered a skill to its peak.

"It's a pity it's not in Nanyang Prefecture, otherwise I would definitely go to Chunfeng Tower to take a look."

"It's been so long since I've seen Miss Yutao, I miss her terribly."

Chen Mu drifted happily toward the Tangshan military base.

"Jie Jia, that money-grubbing guy, isn't here either, otherwise I would have shown him the Thousand Machine Token."

"This is worth a fortune! It'll make him drool!"

"Ha ha……"

"It's just a bit unfair to King Chao." Chen Mu recalled the resentment on Chao Fang's face.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Recalling his encounter with King Chao, Chen Mu sighed with emotion.

The Cloud Mirage Form Refining Technique, with its limitless potential, comes from King Chao.

The Soul-Stabilizing Stake, capable of dispelling evil spirits, comes from Chao Tianwang.

The Thousand Machine Token, which concerns the future of martial arts, also came from King Chao.

"Lucky star."

"From now on, we're friends, the best of friends! Haha!" Chen Mule thought to himself with a laugh.

"No, I have to catch some fish. It's such a happy day, we have to celebrate." Chen Mu turned around and walked upstream along the Bailang River.

I didn't go back in the afternoon; those cooks must be terrified. I want to celebrate, so I have to reward and appease them too.

Chen Mu hummed a little tune as he arrived at a secluded river bend. Just as he was about to take out the intoxicating bait, he looked up and saw his best friend.

At this moment, the other person was facing Chen Mu diagonally, standing quietly by the Bailang River.

The moonlight shone on his side, revealing a gentle yet resolute square face.

“Friend, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu: “…”

is that a lie?

He subtly controlled the ghost, causing it to float half a step to the side.

Then he saw the other person's eyes move, their gaze following his every step.

Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine. Wasn't it said that no one in Chao Tianwang's group could see ghosts?

"Cui Cui has ruined me!"

……

"Is it a symbiotic relationship between Yin spirits? Or a special magical artifact?" Chao Fang stared at Chen Mu, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"The spirits of the dead coexist only with the bones of the Dao."

“It seems to be a special magical artifact,” Chao Fang said with certainty.

"How about joining my ranks? Let's work together and plunder the Tangshan army." Chao Fang glanced back at the distant camp.

"You're hiding here, trying to seize Tangshan's army, aren't you?"

Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

"We're quite fated," Chao Fang said with a smile. "Is the Soul-Stabilizing Stake any good?"

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

It should have been expected. If the Unfixed Ring could be sensed at close range, the Soul-Fixing Stake would surely be detected as well.

To his surprise, after so much time had passed, King Chao still hadn't released the lock on the Soul-Fixing Stake.

"You probably don't know the effects of the Yin-Yang Cultivation Strategy."

"If I can't detect the spirits, how can I raise them?" Chao Fang stared at Chen Mufang. "Besides, you're still holding my soul-fixing stake."

Chen Mu slowly put away the paper figure of Qiu, revealing his true form, and calmly looked at Chao Fang.

"Hand it over," Chao Fang said calmly, his smile fading.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

Chao Fang could control twelve Jia Po to serve him. His strength must be extremely powerful.

But after waiting so long to obtain the Thousand Machine Token, how could I just hand it over like that?

Chen Mu thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Didn't you want to recruit me? I agree. How about using this as payment?"

Chao Fang remained silent for a long time before saying, "I've changed my mind."

Chen Mu: “…”

"Heh..." Chao Fang chuckled lightly, slowly waving his right hand. A chilling aura instantly filled the air.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

This aura... a ghost?!

Commanding ghosts? A strategy for controlling spirits!

Chao Fang sighed: "People are always blinded by greed."

hum!
Suddenly, wisps of cold white vapor appeared in the air.

That was water vapor from the riverbank, which suddenly condensed into mist upon encountering a cold object.

Chen Mu looked at the dozen or so invisible objects trailing white mist and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

More than a dozen ghosts?!

Chao Fang lowered his head slightly, a low smile playing on his lips: "Actually, I should thank you."

"If you hadn't stolen it, how would I have had the chance to keep it for myself?"

"You want to take it all for yourself? Aren't you afraid that burly man will cause you trouble?!" Chen Mu said in a deep voice.

"Slaughter the mountain?"

"Ha... In the middle of nowhere, with no one around. If I kill you, who will bother me?"

Chao Fang looked around and nodded with a mocking smile: "You've picked a good spot. Burying it here might just allow you to ascend to heaven."

"Phew..." Chen Mu let out a long breath: "As long as you're satisfied."

Chao Fang was taken aback; he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"If only you would agree to cooperate," Chen Mu sighed.

If we can help Chao Fang find a new Thousand Machine Token, it would be a win-win situation.

Unfortunately, Chao Fang's plan was to keep it to himself without Tu Shan's knowledge.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Chen Mu looked up and stared intently at Chao Fang.

He had been living a very repressed life since he came into this world.

Danger lurks everywhere; a moment's carelessness could cost you your life.

He relentlessly pushed himself, working tirelessly to increase his skill level, all in order to take control of his own destiny.

A dark aura slowly emerged, and his muscles bulged rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a skinny young man who was 1.75 meters tall into a strong, muscular man who was 1.9 meters tall.

Chen Mu stared fiercely at Chao Fang, as if he were staring at a world filled with malice.

"Come on, let me beat you to death!"
