My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 245 White Tower
Shibu-sen Juko-kaku.

The largest shop selling Buddhist artifacts on the ship.

It is said that even in Tianhe Shuifu, the main store ranks among the top.

Chen Mu walked calmly towards the Pearl Pavilion.

The shop is long and narrow, about four or five meters deep, but seven or eight meters long.

Shelves were placed against the wall.

Swords, gourds, tripods, seals, magic bells, talismans and all sorts of other magical implements and talismans were displayed.

The leftmost wall caught Chen Mu's attention.

There stood rows of thick, bowl-shaped rolls, each as tall as a person.

"The customer wants to buy a kite?" a gentle woman in her thirties asked softly with a charming smile.

Chen Mu nodded calmly: "Let me see."

The woman smiled slightly, pursing her lips: "Would you prefer something better, or something less desirable?"

Almost there?
Do you think I'm joking about having over seven hundred white jade coins in my pocket?
“A better one,” Chen Mu said calmly.

The woman turned around, picked up a brown scroll as tall as a person, and placed it on the counter.

"The Thousand Machines Sect Swallow-type Boneless Flying Kite is easy to store and simple to operate."

"It has a wingspan of eight meters, flies swiftly yet maintains a stable attitude, and is equipped with a secret magic rune that can break through the air and protect against the wind."

"When people sit on it, it's just like sitting on a futon; there's no discomfort whatsoever."

Chen Mu's eyes lit up: "What's the price?"

"For just 1,198, you can take home a top-tier flying kite magic weapon."

Chen Mu: “…”

"Ahem, let me see the one that's not so good," Chen Mu said without changing his expression.

The woman smiled regretfully, then picked up a two-meter-long object from the corner, which resembled a large folding umbrella.

"The peregrine falcon-shaped folding kite is easy to control, has a variety of postures, and is quite fast. It only costs 569 white jade coins."

Chen Mu's heart clenched; this wasn't cheap either.

……

The cabin of the right seventh Bingchen ship.

Lin Su sat cross-legged on the soft couch.

On the low table in front of him was a fist-sized three-legged incense burner, from which wisps of white smoke rose.

Lin Su stared at the incense burner, his expression shifting before settling into calm, his eyes filled with gloom.

"If you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

He pulled a square piece of silk cloth from his sleeve, on which were densely covered with tiny characters.

Lin Su looked at the scripture, which he had pondered countless times, with a complicated expression.

He immediately recited the incantation without hesitation.

A low, eerie sound, like a thousand people chanting scriptures, echoed.

The smoke rising from the incense burner slowly gathered in mid-air.

hold head high!
A loud roar, though not loud, suddenly pierced the soul.

Lin Su felt a sudden tightness in his scalp and couldn't help but look up.

The smoke billowed and billowed, and a huge figure gradually appeared within it.

Sharp horns, golden vertical pupils, tentacles that swayed slowly as if they had their own life, and a body whose size could only be seen in fragments, with no discernible scale.

dragon!
A ferocious and terrifying black dragon!

Lin Su only glanced at it, but his whole body stiffened, and he stood there involuntarily frozen in place.

His cold, vertical pupils stared indifferently at Lin Su, and a chilling voice resounded directly in his heart: "You did very well."

"It is my honor to serve a true master!" Lin Su snapped out of his daze and quickly lowered his head to avoid the black dragon's gaze, speaking respectfully.

“After the insect plague last year, Song Wuji announced that he was going into seclusion. I tried to see him several times, but I still couldn’t get a chance to meet him.”

"Given the characteristics of his technique, he must be trying to control the mechanical insect."

"The Qi-Trapping Insect is an ancient and strange insect. No one has ever been able to control it. Not even Song Wuji."

"If he tries to control it by force, he will inevitably suffer a backlash."

"The fact that Song Wuji remained in seclusion during this outbreak of monster ravages is clear proof of this."

"His position as the House of Commons' top fighting force is now useless!"

“Very good.” The black dragon’s cold voice rang out: “There are four methods of condensing apertures in Chongshan Dao. After the matter is accomplished, you may choose one of them.”

"Thank you very much, Master Baita!" Lin Su was overjoyed!
He worked diligently in the lower courtyard of Keelung Road for more than ten years.

However, the accumulated cultivation points are still insufficient to exchange for the Qi Condensation Method. But now...

"Go to the Heavenly River Water Palace."

“There will be someone there to meet you.”

"The day we take over the lower courtyard of Chicken Cage Sect will be the day we teach you the Condensation Technique."

"I will not disappoint you, Master!" Lin Su bowed respectfully.

The white smoke suddenly scattered, exploding into sparks in mid-air, and then the black dragon's figure completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.

Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"The method of concentrating the orifices has been obtained."

"As long as we find the White Jade Plate again and break free from the restrictions of the Daoist temple..." Lin Su felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

"One day, I will have such power!"

……

Low hills and courtyards, small mountain valleys.

A dark shadow spiraled upwards, circling and flying continuously in the sky above the mountain valley.

"Awooo..." Chen Mu, standing on the peregrine falcon kite, roared excitedly.

As a result, the kite wobbled and crashed headfirst to the ground.

Chen Mu quickly crouched down, grabbed the connecting rod between the two wings, and tried to control the flight attitude.

No matter how he tried to control it, the kite kept spinning and burrowing into the ground.

Chen Mu looked distressed and could only quickly cut off the supply of magical power between his eyebrows.

The force that carried him downwards on the kite disappeared.

The dark clouds of five ghosts that had always surrounded him appeared.

call!
After several decelerations, it finally stopped falling about half a meter off the ground.

"So close!" Chen Mu looked down at the potholes on the ground and sighed with relief.

"It didn't hurt, but it was really embarrassing." Chen Mu gave a wry smile, looking disheveled.

This was not the first time he had fallen; the craters on the ground, resembling patches, were all his handiwork.

Chen Mu glanced at the six-meter-long peregrine falcon kite he was holding above his head and looked helpless.

Easy to control? Versatile posture? Fast speed?

Ah!
"A salesperson's words are a lie!"

The wingspan of the kite is approximately four meters.

The side facing the sky still retains its gray downy fur, making it look like a small falcon-like creature.

The side facing the earth is a treated brown leather surface covered with black star-like patterns and silk threads.

An unidentified white skeleton connects to the head, tail, and wings, forming the skeleton of a flying kite.

The frame is foldable and retractable; when folded in half, it becomes a cylinder over two meters long, making it easy to move.

"Wouldn't the boneless version be easier to control?" Chen Mu thought enviously.

Looking at the thing he'd almost gone bankrupt buying, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh, "I'm starting to regret it."

"Well, it's a flying artifact after all, I've already bought it."

"Practice slowly..."

……

Low hill courtyard.

Chen Mu turned the tube-shaped night-blooming jasmine on the wooden rack to ensure ventilation from all sides and to dry it as quickly as possible.

By December, all the yellow sprout rice had been harvested, and the tube eggplant and night-blooming jasmine had also matured and been harvested.

He will have plenty of free time in the next two months.

"It's a pity we can't go to the Heavenly River Water Palace." Chen Mu shook his head.

He has been working at the lower courtyard of Keelung Road for almost two years.

I've heard about Tianhe Shuifu, this large gathering place, more than once, and I've longed to go there.

Unfortunately, his position was that of a lower-level employee.

He could only board the ship temporarily, but he couldn't go to the Heavenly River Water Palace.

"If we don't buy the flying kite..."

"Never mind, you can't have your cake and eat it too."
