My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 193 Take action
clang!
A deep, resonant sound, like the tolling of a bronze bell, echoed through the yellow rice field.

Leaf insects, hidden beneath the leaves, twisted and trembled before falling with a soft rustling sound.

A thin layer of black smoke spread close to the ground.

Newly sprouted weeds and stunned pests vanished instantly upon contact with the black smoke.

Chen Mu strolled leisurely through the yellow rice field, completing her daily care and improvement of the yellow rice.

……

Back in the courtyard of the low hill.

Chen Mu went to a well-ventilated area under the wooden shed.

A long wooden frame stands on the ground on the north side of the wooden shed.

Seven or eight flat bamboo baskets were laid out in a row, all filled with calming pills.

The Soul-Stabilizing Pill is placed next to the wooden frame to cool and ventilate, helping the Soul-Stabilizing Pill to solidify and dry.

"More than a thousand pills should be enough to sell for three months."

Chen Mu carefully flipped the pill over while calculating.

"Buying materials from Baicaoge is ultimately not a safe bet."

"Next time, I can check out the underground market."

Even if he deliberately changes his appearance and clothing when making the purchase, he may still be spied on by someone with ulterior motives.

A person who can make medicine and refine elixirs is like a money tree; anyone with a little power wouldn't let him go unnoticed.

Shang Huan's increasingly enthusiastic attitude made Chen Mu realize just how valuable pharmaceutical skills were.

“In the past, even with just a little Qingfengsan, some people dared to cause trouble for Jiejia.”

"If it can now be used as a stabilizing pill for cultivation, then it is even more dangerous."

"I need to give Shang Huan a good talking-to when I have time. It'll be safer if he acts more discreetly."

……

After processing the yellow sprout rice field, turn over and sift the calming pills.

Chen Mu sat down in the rocking chair next to the well, lit a calming pill, and softly recited the White Yang True Explanation Scripture.

For the past two months, he has been reciting mantras whenever he has free time.

Belonging to the power of the Azure-Eyed Golden Ape's Body Refining Technique, it continuously penetrates the mist, merging into the divine intent.

The divine intention, which had been hidden behind frosted glass, became increasingly clear and bright, constantly radiating a luminous white light. It would appear in his mind the moment he had the slightest thought.

It also maintains a constantly changing shape and is becoming more and more like a circle.

"A prototype of jade?" Chen Mu suddenly realized.

It is described in the Baiyang Zhenjie Jing scroll.

The product of the union of spirit and soul is called a Jade Seed. It is the foundation for subsequent cultivation and a necessary means for ordinary people to catch up with those born with Daoist bones.

Without the jade seed, there's no way to continue cultivating!
……

After reciting for half an hour, Chen Mu opened his eyes, picked up the cool tea from the low table next to him to soothe his dry mouth.

A flash of black smoke appeared in his right hand, and the ebony short sword that he hadn't used in a long time appeared.

With a thought, a frosted, semi-transparent black substance crawled up his palm onto the short sword.

"After the spirit and soul are united, the power of the soul can actually attach itself to the weapon." Before, the power of the soul could only stick to the skin.

"If they are completely integrated, could they possibly separate from the body?" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

This will greatly enrich his offensive tactics.

This comparison makes the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique seem somewhat lacking.

Aside from his increasing appetite and the increasingly prominent silver lines between his eyebrows, there really weren't any other noticeable changes.

"Which path did you take on this split?" Chen Mu scratched his head.

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, he brought up the gray wall and checked the experience.

Baiyang's True Solution: 3578/10000/First Order;
"Breaking through to the second tier will only take four or five months."

"I wonder if I'll gain any experience from listening to sermons at the Scripture Institute."

He had previously listened to Mr. Hao explain farming techniques, which helped him improve his planting skills and experience.

"It would be great if you could focus on explaining the White Yang True Explanation," Chen Mu said with some regret.

The White Yang True Explanation is the cheapest secret method for unifying the spirit and soul at the Transmission Academy.

It's cheap because it has defects.

The jade seed it produced was fine, but its cultivation speed was too slow.

Not many people practice it, and it's unlikely that anyone will explain the true meaning of Baiyang. Therefore, he can't gain experience by preaching.

……

The low hill where Chen Mu's courtyard is located is on the edge of a basin plain. Continuing northwards, one encounters a continuous range of mountains.

And the mountain peaks grew ever higher. At the edge of the horizon, the peaks pierced the clouds.

The bald, burly man stood on a cliff about seven or eight miles north of the low mountain.

Looking down, you can see the low hill where Chen Mu's courtyard is located.

Today is the first day of preaching at the Scripture Institute. Before dawn, the bald, burly man came here with three henchmen to wait.

As the sun rose, a figure was soon seen walking out of the courtyard and leaving the low hill.

"This tortoise has finally moved." The bald, burly man breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a pity my brother won't let me do it," the bald man thought bitterly.

This was the first time he had ever spent three months lying low and enduring for a target.

"If you obediently hand over the treasure and the white jade money, all will be well. If you don't..." The bald man's eyes flashed with a cold light.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

The bald, burly man and his men quietly arrived at the courtyard on the hill.

He stood outside the wall and listened carefully to make sure no one was in the yard before he came down to the yellow rice field at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the neatly arranged, lush yellow rice plants, the bald, burly man sneered, "He's quite the farmer."

"Release the white-lined earth spirit rat!" he waved his hand.

The three men immediately took off the bamboo baskets they were carrying on their backs.

Open the lid and suddenly pour it out.

One by one, fist-sized mice darted into the yellow rice field.

The rat has black fur and three white stripes on its back. It moves like the wind and has sharp teeth. It can bite off half of a wrist-thick rice stalk in one bite.

Watching the yellow sprouts fall to the ground one after another, the bald, burly man grinned, feeling a sense of comfort and ease.

The pent-up frustration from staking out the location for over three months was suddenly released.

"Haha! Let's go!"

……

On the east side of Tongtianfang, there is a three-courtyard house.

Dong Cheng sat in the living room of the inner courtyard, closing his eyes to rest.

Not long after, the bald, burly man rushed in excitedly.

"Big brother, it's done!"

“I did as you said. The white-striped ground spirit rat was starved for three days beforehand.”

"Then we headed south from behind the low hill, leaving behind one or two earth spirit rats along the way. We also scattered a lot of spirit rat droppings."

"Even if someone investigates, they will only assume that the Earth Spirit Rat came from the mountains north of the Dwarf Mountain."

Dong Chengpang couldn't help but smile: "Well done."

"Have other nearby houses also released earth spirit rats?"

The bald, burly man nodded: "Release them!"

“I remember what you said: we can’t let only one family suffer, otherwise there will be a loophole.”

Dong Cheng nodded: "Man-made disasters might attract the attention of the Lower House, but if it's a natural disaster, then no one will care."

"Big brother, shall we go and finish things up tomorrow?" the bald, burly man asked excitedly, already anticipating the other man's frustrated and dejected face.

"No rush," Dong Cheng said, squinting.

"We'll have to wait a couple of days for things to develop further."

"It's also a good opportunity to see if this Chen Mu really has a large amount of white jade coins."

He looked at the bald, burly man: "Keep an eye on Shang Huan, don't let this guy get there first."

"Probably not." The burly man scratched his head.

"This guy has been smuggling tranquilizers from the ghost ship lately."

Dong Cheng's heart skipped a beat: "With that little profit, would he dare to risk being investigated by the House of Commons?"

"I heard he was scammed and is short on cash, so he's willing to take any kind of money."

Dong Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Then he should be even less inclined to do this kind of high-risk, low-profit business!"

"Is there something wrong with him?" The bald, burly man's eyes lit up.

"Keep a close eye on him," Dong Cheng said coldly.

"Once we've dealt with Chen Mu, we'll go find Shang Huan!"
