My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 180 Yunzhou
In cabin 6, Yimao on the left, Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the boat, trying to keep his breathing natural.

An hour later, Chen Mu opened his eyes.

"Two o'clock!"

"It has indeed increased!"

"Is it because the White Gorgon has traveled to a special region?" Chen Mu wondered.

Two months later, news was heard in the teahouse.

The white shuttle has completed its planned route and is now heading back to Yunzhou at full speed.

"Is this what makes it different overseas?" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

"It must be a treasure land like Tianyi Zhai in Qingshan County, otherwise the proficiency of the Spirit Armor Technique would not have changed."

"No wonder I've had a big appetite lately and am eating more and more."

Since he began practicing the Spirit Armor Technique, his skin has become tougher, he eats more, and his strength has increased.

Occasionally, silvery threads can be seen on the skin, like bluish blood vessels under the skin.

But these changes all happen gradually and quietly.

……

Chen Mu carefully examined his entire body and finally pinpointed the divine intention.

The divine intent behind the Cloud Mirage Spirit Armor Technique is now clearer!
It used to seem like there was frosted glass behind it, but now there's only a thin veil left.

"Let's test it for a few days?"

The pharmaceutical technology has advanced, so don't expect Bigu Dan (a fasting pill) anytime soon, and even Ding Shen Wan (a calming pill) will have to be copied and sold in Yunzhou.

"Then let's keep using it for a few days!"

The Cloud Mirage Armor Technique can be passively farmed or actively trained.

Focusing fully on the task can also speed up experience gain.

Previously, there were geographical restrictions; this could only be done in Qingshan County.

Now that we are closer to Yunzhou, we can finally cultivate on our own.

……

three days later.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the bed in the cabin.

In my mind, the veil of illusion that had blocked God's intentions had become barely visible.

The next moment, proficiency increased again.

A bright star suddenly pierced through the thin veil.

Like a firefly, or like the stars in the sky, Chen Mu saw the stars in the divine will so clearly for the first time.

The next moment, the stars suddenly rushed towards him, just like fireflies flying straight at him.

Chen Mu was startled and suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that everything seemed like an illusion.

When I calmed down, I noticed a sudden, cool sensation at the back of my head, near the occipital bone. It felt like there was an ice crystal there.

Chen Mu subconsciously summoned his courage.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the dark area around the occipital bone had completely disappeared.

When you reach out and touch it, an invisible barrier adheres tightly to the surface of your skin.

"Courage doesn't disappear; it undergoes a qualitative change!"

"Could this be the fusion of spirit and soul?!" Chen Mu exclaimed in disbelief.

The Cloud Mirage Armor Technique—is it a secret method for uniting the spirit and soul?!
Chen Mu felt like he had been hit by a huge windfall!
A fragmented manual of physical training techniques was actually used to create a secret method for unifying the spirit and soul through practice?!
"Sure enough, sweat doesn't lie!" Chen Mu exclaimed excitedly.

"This unexpected joy is the best reward for my hard work and diligent practice!"

"What 'True Explanation of Baiyang'? I'm not interested!"

"What barter? The person who's trying to rip me off hasn't even been born yet!"

Chen Mu's confidence soared.

"And that damn Silver Moon Pavilion, they charge two hundred taels for an entrance fee, who do they think they are!"

"I'm happy today, what should I say..."

"Forget it, my appetite is getting bigger and bigger these days, I should be more careful."

"Hmm... then let's go to Xianxian Tea House and learn a couple more dishes."

……

January 29th, 643rd year of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Inside cabin number 6, Yimao on the left.

A transparent pipe, about the thickness of a thumb, is embedded around the top wall.

Inside, fluorescent algae float slowly, emitting a warm, gentle light.

A fist-sized, three-legged incense burner sits on the small desk.

Wisps of almost invisible blue smoke drifted out through the hollowed-out holes.

A subtle, calming fragrance filled the cabin. Chen Mu opened his eyes and slowly regained his senses.

Cloud Mirage Armor Technique: 7117/10000/Tier 6;

"It's still not as good as the original calming pill." Chen Mu looked at the incense burner with regret.

Upon opening the incense burner, only a few specks of scarlet red remained at the bottom of the charcoal; most of it had already smoldered into white ash.

Turn the incense burner lid over; the bottom ring is connected, and a hollowed-out copper ball about the size of a ping-pong ball is suspended from it.

Unscrew the copper ball, and inside is the calming pill.

However, it wasn't the original; it was a modified version he created using his pharmaceutical skills.

The herb *Eclipta prostrata* can calm the mind, and a small amount of narcotic smoke has a similar effect.

Thus, version 1.0 of the Tranquilizing Pill was launched.

"With the modified version of the Tranquilizing Pill Incense, the Spirit Armor Technique proficiency only increases slightly every four hours, which is half of the original version."

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long; the formula still needs to be changed."

"How about we try getting a Mind-Concentrating Pill?" Chen Mu was itching to try.

"Forget it, I always feel that people with the character 'Dan' in their names are hard to deal with."

He's had a bad experience with fasting pills.

……

He replaced the incense burner with a brand new calming pill, cleaned the white ash from the bottom of the burner, and added new charcoal. Chen Mu began to experience the transformations of the Spirit Armor Technique.

"Similar to body-refining techniques, it continues to transform the body."

Chen Mu touched the back of his head.

From that point on, the charisma cultivated through the Cloud Mirage Form Refinement Technique gradually disappeared and underwent a qualitative change.

It merges with God's will, becoming one with the skin and flesh, transforming the body's structure, leaving only faint traces of silver threads.

With a flick of his right hand, an ebony short sword appeared.

Gently poke the shoulder, then gradually increase the force.

The ebony sword, capable of piercing through the soul, was blocked outside the skin.

"The body's tissues have acquired the property of being indestructible?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

Previously, it was like wearing a suit of armor. Now, the entire body structure has become indestructible.

Even if an ebony sword could pierce the skin, it would be blocked by muscle!

"Now it's truly invulnerable to swords and spears."

"It just feels like I'm becoming less and less human."

……

Although the White Hollow Shuttle is spacious and bright, with plenty of food, drink, and entertainment options, it is ultimately an enclosed space. Staying there for too long can easily become tedious and boring.

Chen Mu, however, was completely unaffected by this. As someone who spent most of his time at home, he had his own ways of distributing resources.

The gradual improvement in his proficiency always fills him with a sense of accomplishment.

After that, Chen Mu took two 3.0 Bigu pills every morning and evening, only going out for lunch at noon. He spent the rest of the time cultivating in his cabin.

He had originally planned to make a batch of Tranquilizing Pills 2.0 to exchange for some White Jade Spirit Coins. But the thought was immediately dismissed.

Inside the White Shuttle, all the shops belong to the owner of the White Shuttle.

What if someone discovers my counterfeit pills and throws them into the sea?
Now that he possesses the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique, he no longer craves the White Sun True Understanding. With safety as the primary concern, he has even less motivation to work hard and make money.

Of course, he didn't stay in seclusion all day. He would go out for a walk every five days.

I especially enjoy looking at the underwater scenery through the transparent screen in front of the White Gyrocopter.

On one occasion, he even saw an eye bigger than the entire curtain wall!

Fortunately, the White Silk Shuttle was discreet and safe enough. The terrifying behemoth only glanced at it before disappearing.

But this shocked Chen Mu, who was both terrified and excited.

Such a spectacular sight would be impossible to witness even if one stayed in Daliang for a hundred years.

"When I become strong enough, I will definitely travel the world and see all kinds of wonders."

Then he devoted himself even more to cultivation.

……

What others might perceive as a life of asceticism, Chen Mu lived with great enjoyment.

More than half a month later, according to the Liang Dynasty calendar, it was the fifteenth day of the second month.

The white silkworm finally reached the shore.

Before the transparent curtain wall, the land view finally reappeared.

A huge crowd gathered in front of the screen to watch.

Hundreds of people, watched by thousands, slowly ascended the exit stairs and walked out of the interior space of the White Shuttle.

Chen Mu stood in the corner, finally feeling relieved.

Yunzhou, we've arrived!
