My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 190 Open Source

A courtyard nestled in a low hill, beneath a wooden shed.

Chen Mu moved the rocking chair southward, as close to the well as possible.

Recently, my proficiency with Spirit Armor has increased.

The silver threads between my eyebrows are becoming more and more distinct, and I can often feel a cool sensation.

It's like a light drizzle occasionally dripping onto your brow.

In the past few days, he has also noticed that the closer he gets to the well, the more frequently he experiences this cool sensation.

"Earth's spiritual energy?"

The sixth-tier Cloud Mirage Armor Technique cultivates the unity of spirit and soul. The seventh tier corresponds roughly to perception.

Chen Mu guessed that this stage was about sensing the earth's spiritual energy.

Recalling his training in the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique, Chen Mu was filled with emotion.

No cultivation is needed; it's just like normal growth and development. Once you're full and have enough to drink, you can gain experience simply by breathing.

"This is simply a dreamlike cultivation technique." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh, "I'm just afraid there might be problems."

There are still two months until the preaching ceremony begins. I don't have enough white jade coins to go to the preaching academy alone.

The emergence of Baiyang's True Solution gave Chen Mu a new solution.

Once you've mastered the White Sun True Explanation, compare it directly with the Spirit Armor Technique. Any problems will be immediately apparent.

"The myriad variations of chanting scriptures reveal their wonders?"

"Ah……"

"To others, this is deception."

"But for me, this is the true essence of the teachings."

He immediately unfurled a gray scroll about the length of a palm and the thickness of a wrist.

A dense, incoherent text came into view.

Chen Mu's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled.

"It's another new challenge."

……

At the foot of the short mountain, there are rice fields with yellow buds.

Chen Mu strolled leisurely among the tall yellow rice plants.

Invisible black smoke spread across the ground, and the weeds that had just emerged from the ground vanished instantly.

Chen Mu muttered to himself, continuously reciting the thousands of words of the White Sun True Explanation incantation.

At one moment, a sudden realization dawned on Chen Mu's mind.

The incantation, which was only half-recited, was interrupted.

Chen Mu couldn't help but look at the main stem of a yellow rice plant beside him.

Curious, he walked over and snapped the main stem in two.

A plump, white worm was wriggling and gnawing at the main stem.

"I didn't expect the planting ability to reach the second level first." Chen Mu chuckled.

A flood of insights rushed into Chen Mu's mind, and as he looked at the lush green rice paddy, he immediately realized that there were several areas that needed improvement.

……

Three more days passed, and Chen Mu was dizzy and lightheaded from chanting scriptures.

The intonation, the tone, the rhythm—a wealth of insights instantly flooded my mind.

The thousands of words of scripture were instantly transformed into a spell with hundreds of strange syllables.

Chen Mu drew up the gray wall.

Baiyang's True Solution: 3/10000/First Order;
After just one glance, Chen Mu focused his attention on his mind.

Six indistinct orbs of light appeared and disappeared behind the mist.

A realization dawned on him. He could choose any one of the groups to change.

"I'm afraid the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique and the Divine Soul Unity Secret Method are not the same path after all," Chen Mu sighed.

When I first mastered the Spirit Armor, none of the other six Body Refinement Techniques were selected.

Looking at the six orbs of light, Chen Mu quickly made a decision.

"Azure-eyed Golden Ape Form Refinement Technique".

This training technique originated from armor, and during the Soul-Training period, it acquired the largest Soul-Training area, thus possessing the highest potential.

……

On the eastern side of Aishan Mountain, there is a verdant, high mountain.

A fat man in his forties, dressed in loose black clothes, stood under a pine tree on the edge of a cliff, gazing at the low hills in the distance.

A bald, burly man stood behind him.

"Brother, that guy is like a tortoise, he never moves an inch. It's not easy to mess with his yellow rice field."

Dong Cheng smiled and said, "What about at night? We did it while he was asleep in the middle of the night."

"Last time I released five black sheep at night, but I was unlucky and he caught me red-handed and killed them all." The bald, burly man said with heartache and regret.

“There were no problems so many times before, I didn’t expect to be caught by him.” “Does he patrol at night?” Dong Cheng asked, looking at the yellow rice field next to the low hill.

"I sent my brothers to keep watch from a distance for several nights, but there was no movement." The bald man scratched his head, puzzled.

"But if you throw in a few white-striped earth spirit rats, before they can even bite through a few yellow sprout rice plants, that guy will appear."

Dong Cheng narrowed his eyes: "These outsiders may lack knowledge, but they always have some strange methods."

"We have to do it while he's not home."

“Brother, how about we change our target?” the bald, burly man suggested. “All he does all day is deal with yellow sprouts.”

"He's so familiar with Old Man Hao, yet I've never seen him go to Shang Huan to sell things."

"He's probably penniless, and he's pinning all his hopes on Huangyamitian."

Dong Cheng looked at the low hill and stone courtyard and said indifferently, "The poor bastard you mentioned spends four white jade coins a month just on food."

Do you think he has any money?

The bald, burly man's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to whisper, "Big brother, should we...?"

Dong Cheng glanced back at the bald man: "If you want to grow bigger, you have to stop using those shady methods from before."

“If his yellow rice field is ruined, he will definitely have to raise money.”

"We just need to take advantage of the situation and buy his valuables at a low price."

"But what if he really has a lot of white jade money and doesn't need to sell anything?" the bald man said with some concern.

“Then we can make him buy some things and earn his jade money,” Dong Fang said casually, waving his hand.

"Buy what?" the bald, burly man asked, puzzled. Why did they insist on buying their stuff?

Dong Fang looked at the bald man with a smile: "Buying your life."

"Buy his own life."

Bald, muscular man: "..."

……

With his planting skills reaching the second level, Chen Mu became increasingly adept at tending to the yellow sprout rice field.

With the help of the five ghosts, he only needs to spend one hour a day to complete the care of Huang Yami.

He spent the rest of his time reciting the White Yang True Explanation.

It's unclear whether it was because he mastered the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique that the divine intent's hidden mist was broken.

Each time he recited the incantation, he could bring Chen Mu four to six points of experience.

You can gain 60-70 experience points in an hour.

As proficiency increased, the divine intent and power of the blue-eyed golden ape began to vibrate, adjust, and resonate in unison.

Two days later, this resonance reached its peak.

A wisp of dark, powerful energy suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Then, following a small opening in the mist, he darted into the middle of it.

Then it went straight for the blue-eyed golden ape's divine intention, and in the blink of an eye disappeared into it.

Chen Mu looked helplessly at the divine intention that had immediately brightened a bit, his face full of melancholy.

"One divine intention runs outward, the other courageous enough to delve inward."

"The Cloud Mirage Armor Technique really is like practicing splits."

……

Five days later, inside the Aishan courtyard.

Black smoke billowed, and Chen Mu held a fist-sized white porcelain bottle in his hand.

"Tongtianfang's prices are indeed expensive," Chen Mu sighed.

One white jade coin could only buy ten fasting pills.

Jiejia had previously mentioned that one white jade coin could buy about twelve pieces.

Chen Mu poured out one grain and carefully divided it into ten portions.

Pick up one of the pieces and put it in your mouth.

The Bigu Pill, with its faint fragrance, melts in the mouth, enters the stomach through the esophagus, and quickly integrates into the whole body.

"Given my current physical condition, I probably won't die from eating a fasting pill," Chen Mu shrugged.

"Let's eat half, just to be on the safe side."

With the introduction of the White Yang True Explanation, the divine soul began to merge.

His appetite returned.

Chen Mu could only buy a bottle of Bigu Pills as a supplement.

"It's just too expensive."

His monthly living expenses have now reached an astonishing five white jade coins.

And as he continues to cultivate, this number will continue to increase.

"We can't just sit around and live off our savings."

"We need to find a way to sell some tranquilizers."
