My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 215 Purple Bamboo
"I feel really bad for disturbing Brother Chen's peace and quiet," Zhang Tu'an said with a gentle smile.

"No problem, no problem." Chen Mu scratched his head, a simple smile on his face.

"Young man, you may not know this, but I am a disciple of the lower academy from the same batch as you."

"Really?" Chen Mu's face showed surprise, but his eyes revealed a hint of agreement.

Zhang Tu'an's smile grew even more amiable, and then he began to tell humorous stories about the jokes he had made when he first arrived in the area.

They quickly and quietly drew closer to each other.

After a conversation that progressed from simple to complex, a natural sigh of melancholy followed: "Life is really difficult for us new disciples."

"No wages, no elixirs, no secret techniques. And we're being bullied and cheated by the senior disciples." Zhang Tu'an said sadly, "To cultivate the Sensing Skill will take a very long time and be extremely difficult."

Chen Mu glanced at the Hundred Intent Spirit Light Technique, which was almost one-fifth complete.

He glanced again at the calming pills piled up in a wooden cabinet.

Finally, I looked at the nearly two hundred white jade coins lying in the Five Ghosts Bag.

He immediately echoed with a pained expression, "It really is difficult."

……

"Inspired by this, I specially established the Purple Bamboo Society."

"We just want to help us new disciples stick together and get through this difficult time."

"Recently, everyone pooled their wisdom and made efforts from various sources, and finally achieved some progress," Zhang Tu'an sighed with relief.

"You know about the Tranquilizing Pill, right?" Zhang Tu'an asked with a strange smile.

"I've heard Mr. Zhuang Fu say that it can calm the mind and accelerate the unity of spirit and soul," Chen Mu answered honestly.

Not only do I know, I can also do it.

I'll do it all, whether it's real, fake, or half-real!
"It's not just about the unity of spirit and soul; the Upper Academy's dojo is constantly burning mind-stabilizing pills,"

"This shows that it still performs remarkably well in assisting with cultivation." Zhang Tu'an praised it highly.

He then leaned closer and whispered mysteriously, "Our Purple Bamboo Society has already spent a huge sum of money to buy the formula, so we can make the Tranquilizing Pill ourselves!"

Chen Mu: “…”

Could this be the recipe I'm thinking of?
"The Hundred Herbs Pavilion only gives thirty pieces of white jade."

“Members of the Purple Bamboo Society can obtain thirty-five pieces for every single piece of white jade!” Zhang Tu’an puffed out his chest and raised his head: “Come on, join us.”

"As long as we join hands and move forward together, we will definitely be able to grow bigger and stronger!" Zhang Tu'an said with great enthusiasm.

Chen Mu: “…”

Relying on Shang Huan's formula? How can they possibly grow big and strong?
Crazy!
"This is the secret formula for the Divine Pill of our Purple Bamboo Society." Zhang Tu'an pushed a fist-sized white porcelain bottle to Chen Mu.

"Here's a bottle of 35 trial pills for you." Zhang Tu'an waved his hand dismissively. "Use it first, pay later. No charge if you're not satisfied!"

"This is just the beginning. More benefits are on the way!" Zhang Tu'an said confidently.

She immediately looked at Chen Mu eagerly, waiting for his answer with anticipation.

Chen Mu scratched his head and chuckled, pushing the pills back: "I don't have any special skills, I can't cause you any trouble."

Zhang Tu'an's eyes were full of regret, but he smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's alright, you can take the pill first."

"After a while, Zizhu will get on the right track and make a name for itself. After you've learned more about it, come back and take a look." Zhang Tu'an said with a sincere and determined expression, then stood up, cupped his hands, and took his leave.

Before leaving, he looked at Chen Mu with a solemn expression: "Brother Chen, as a fellow new disciple, you must be careful."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the Zizhu Association in Xinchou District."

"The entire Purple Bamboo Society will be your backing."

……

At the entrance of the low hill courtyard.

Chen Mu frowned slightly as he watched the two figures disappear quickly.

"There is a world of its own everywhere."

Even though he was focused on farming, he knew that there were many similar societies in the House of Commons.

The Purple Bamboo Gathering is just one of them.

His status as a newly recruited disciple perfectly met the requirements for joining the association. Chen Mu opened the porcelain bottle, gently fanned the aroma of the medicine from the mouth of the bottle, and carefully discerned: "Real medicine? They've really gone all out."

"It's just a tactic to lure people into a trap," Chen Mu said, scoffing.

"It's none of my business. I just want to focus on my cultivation." Chen Mu didn't want to get involved with any organizations or groups.

"This Chairman Zhang is quite clear-headed. He didn't make a fuss over nothing." This attitude is commendable.

"Just avoid them a few times, let them know my stance, and the matter will be over." Chen Mu shrugged indifferently.

……

On his way to the Lower House of Shinchou, Zhang Tuan leisurely admired the scenery along the way.

The scarred man in the gray shirt and short jacket behind him couldn't help but complain, "Boss, this kid doesn't know what's good for him."

"Should I go teach him a lesson?" Scarface Ding Wu said, clearly annoyed.

Zhang Tu'an waved his hand: "Fifth Brother, this is a new disciple, so he's naturally on our side. We can't use the same methods we use on the older disciples."

"We must learn to treat others with sincerity and to put ourselves in their shoes." Zhang Tu'an sighed, "You know how badly many new disciples are bullied. We must unite every bit of strength."

“This young man Chen is from our class, so he is a potential member of the Purple Bamboo Society. As long as we treat each other with sincerity, there will eventually be a day when he becomes one of our own.”

“Even if he doesn’t join, we still need to consider the existing members.”

“If we mistreat Brother Chen, existing members will inevitably feel resentful.”

"We treat new disciples with sincerity and impartiality. This will increase the cohesion of our members and attract more new members."

"What a hassle." Ding Wu scratched his head nonchalantly. "I'll just listen to the boss."

“You…” Zhang Tu’an chuckled.

……

Ten meters away, Chen Mu, who was shrouded in the shadows and invisible, slowly clenched his right fist and extinguished the sand-spraying projectile floating in his palm.

"Tu An is quite impressive in this chapter; his thinking is very clear," Chen Mu said in surprise.

"Whether it's to attract new members or to impress existing members, I won't have any trouble in the short term."

That's good.

This will allow him to focus on farming and cultivation.

"If Zizhu can establish itself, we might be able to cooperate." Chen Mu's heart stirred.

"It would be good to have more sales channels for the calming pills."

"Hmm...we can investigate this further."

Chen Mu glanced at their backs again, then had the Five Ghosts carry him away slowly.

I haven't finished reviewing today's experience yet.

……

Zizhu Association, Xinchou District.

"Is that young man Chen a skilled farmer?" Zhang Tu'an, who had just returned, thought of the farmland that was free of weeds.

“He’s quite good.” Ding Wu thought for a moment and said, “Even with the insect plague this year, he was still able to pay the land rent. His skills are even better than those of previous generations of disciples.”

"What a talent!" Zhang Tu'an exclaimed.

"I heard that there's a group of former disciples in Xinyou District who like to recruit skilled farmers and coerce them into farming for them?" Zhang Tu'an asked, turning his head.

"There is such a group of people." Ding Wu was puzzled.

“Then sell them some information, tell them that there’s a talented person in Gengyin District who’s good at farming, they’ll definitely like that,” Zhang Tu’an said, squinting.

“Let this young man Chen experience the hardships of the world first,” Zhang Tu’an glanced at Ding Wu, “and then…”

"Understood!" Ding Wu grinned immediately.

I recommend the novel "Don't Let Yu Ding Take on Any More Disciples" by author Pineapple Little Snow, which has over 10,000 subscribers. Whether the Heavenly Court is in chaos or not, Yu Ding has the final say. If you're interested, you can check it out.
