My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 196 Secret Method
Tongtianfang, a bamboo grove courtyard.

Zhuang Fu sat expressionlessly under the pavilion, calmly explaining the cultivation process for each stage of the sensing phase.

Chen Mu, sitting in the corner, looked completely bewildered.

At this point, he no longer felt a sense of reality regarding Zhuang Fu's explanation.

He hasn't even mastered the jade seed yet, so how could he have any experience in the sensing stage of cultivation?

Looking around, I saw that everyone else was also full of doubt, yet they were all frowning and deep in thought, clearly trying to memorize it by rote.

Chen Mu shook his head.

"Memorizing something is useless if you don't truly understand it."

After listening for a while longer, I realized that I really couldn't understand the details and nuances.

Chen Mu stopped listening: "Anyway, there will be preaching and sermons next year."

He squinted slightly and began to recall and organize the lectures he had listened to over the past fifteen days.

"As expected, I messed up the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique." Chen Mu sighed.

According to Zhuang Fu's introduction.

The spirit and will merge with divine intent to form a jade seed. Then, the jade seed is used to sense the earth's spiritual energy, and further refined into spiritual light.

The Cloud Mirage Armor Technique went in the completely opposite direction from its very first step!
"But... it's not a big problem." Chen Mu shrugged.

Since Gray Wall acknowledges the Spirit Armor Technique, it means that someone has practiced it before, so what is there to be afraid of?

"It only costs a little food." Chen Mu pursed his lips.

He figured out that the culprit behind his increased appetite was the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique.

"Fortunately, it wasn't all bad." The Spirit Armor Technique consumed a lot of energy, but it also gave him an incredibly powerful body.

"Otherwise, we might not have been able to defeat Dong Cheng." Chen Mu was relieved.

It was the body modified by the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique that enabled him to frequently activate the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains, obliterate the Spirit Light Talisman, and quickly kill Dong Cheng.

"A spirit talisman...is it similar to the protective aura used by aristocratic families?"

"Using talismans to mimic the spiritual light of a spiritual realm and gain powerful protection in advance?"

Chen Mu thought to himself, then couldn't help but sigh, "I still know too little about this world."

He even missed Jiejia a little.

If that old man were here, he might be able to answer his questions.

Ding!
A crisp sound interrupted Chen Mu's thoughts.

Zhuang Fu, who had been talking non-stop just moments before, immediately fell silent, then calmly stood up and strode away from the bamboo grove courtyard.

The fifteen-day sermon at the Bible Institute has officially ended.

……

On the northern slope of Tongtianfang, on the east side of the Lower Courtyard complex, lies a two-courtyard residence.

Lin Su, the Taoist with thick eyebrows, sat expressionlessly at the head of the main hall, his eyes closed as he meditated.

He held a white jade coin in his right hand, turning and playing with it between his fingers from time to time.

As the white jade flips, it occasionally lights up with fluorescent dots.

At this moment, a muscular man dressed in black strode into the main hall.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed deeply, saying, "You're in charge!"

"Speak," Lin Su said calmly with his eyes closed.

"The Chuanjing Academy said that the marks of Dong Cheng and the others have all disappeared."

"They were either eliminated or they are already dead."

"After the investigation was completed at Dong Cheng's residence, the leads were cut off."

"Several disciples from the lower courtyard who followed Dong Cheng also disappeared on the same day."

“We investigated the interpersonal relationships of these disciples in the lower courtyard, but found nothing.”

"For the past three months, Dong Cheng has been cultivating at his residence in Tongtianfang."

"The only unusual thing was that he had someone buy a batch of white-striped ground rats about half a month ago."

"We made inquiries from various sources, but we still couldn't find any information about that batch of earth spirit rats. The trail went cold again."

Lin Su's hand, which was playing with the white jade coin, suddenly paused, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Dong Cheng often sets up schemes to cheat newly recruited disciples of the lower academy, buying low and selling high to make a profit."

"His disappearance at this time must be related to the disciples of the Lower Temple this year."

"Go check, check them one by one."

"No newly promoted disciples of the lower academy should be overlooked."

The burly man's scalp tingled; this workload...

She secretly glanced at Lin Su, who had closed his eyes again.

The strong, muscular man could only helplessly clasp his hands in a fist salute.

"yes."……

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

Thick black smoke billowed in the fields.

Chen Mu walked slowly through the fields.

With the second-tier planting technique fully activated, carefully water and fertilize each yellow rice plant individually.

He wanted to harvest more yellow rice to put in the cellar. After a batch was wiped out by the white-striped ground rats, Chen Mu had to take even better care of it.

Even with the help of the Five Ghosts Bag, this delicate operation still took him more than an hour.

Back in the courtyard on the hill, Chen Mu sat down to rest under the wooden shed.

He casually picked up a book from the low table and began to read it quietly.

These are the class notes he made from memory every day when he went home after class.

"Bathing and calming the mind, burning incense and focusing the spirit, enhance the attraction of divine will."

"If the concentration of earth elemental energy around you is high enough, it seems to increase external pressure, forcing your spirit to converge inward and accelerate the unification process," Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"No wonder my skill level improved faster near the well."

"How wonderful it would be to cultivate in the Upper Academy," Chen Mu sighed.

The area is rich in spiritual energy, making cultivation there much more efficient.

"pity……"

"Luckily, I have a proficiency cheat."

"Once I accumulate enough cultivation experience, I might actually be able to hang out in the Upper Academy for a couple of days!" Chen Mu thought to himself with a chuckle.

"I need to get a copy of the Jade Seed Secret Technique and practice it."

He has a calming pill to enhance the attraction of divine will.

To increase external pressure, he has a well containing the earth's spiritual energy.

One more secret technique for obtaining jade seeds is needed to accelerate the integration of the divine soul.

……

After lunch, Chen Mu took out all the white jade coins and checked them one by one.

"Fifty-four already?!" Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise.

Despite all the buying and selling, Shang Huan's entire fortune amounted to less than thirty coins.

Chen Mulai had been working at the lower house of Keelung Road for half a year, yet his savings had already surpassed Shang Huan's.

"If we increase the production of the Tranquilizing Pills, we can earn an extra five to ten pills per month," Chen Mu thought with a hint of excitement.

"Forget it, what if it attracts attention?" Chen Mu quickly came to his senses.

Safety first!

Of course, Shang Huan and the bald, burly man also contributed a considerable amount of white jade coins.

"Dong Cheng's mustard seed talisman hasn't been counted yet." Chen Mu chuckled as he pulled out a brown wristband.

The contents of the mustard seed talisman are not mentioned.

This single mustard seed talisman is worth fifty-three white jade coins.

boom!
A wooden cabinet about half a person's height suddenly appeared.

Just like when he packed the wooden frame for the Five Ghosts Bag.

Users of the Mustard Seed Talisman all like to create such a categorized drawer cabinet?

Shang Huan was like that before, and Dong Cheng is like that now.

They were forced into this situation by the characteristics of the Mustard Seed Talisman.

"Advanced mustard seed symbols could probably solve the problem of categorized storage," Chen Mu guessed.

I casually pulled open the first drawer.

Wow…

A small pile of round white jade came into view.

Chen Mu couldn't help but smile and immediately began to examine each item one by one.

"Sixty-two? Great!"

"I absolutely have to go to the Scripture Academy tomorrow." Chen Mu was full of confidence, feeling straight and energetic.

"With these hundred-plus white jade coins, we're not afraid no matter how expensive the jade is or how secret the method is."

"The True Explanation of the White Sun only costs sixty white jade coins. How much more expensive could the Jade Seed Secret Method be?"

"go with!"

"I must go to the Scripture Transmission Institute tomorrow!"
