My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 309 Jade Spring Villa
The cloud bat was originally a strange sea creature, capable of both swimming and flying. Its pair of bluish-gray fleshy wings had countless air pores beneath them, allowing it to ride the clouds and mist.

After being captured and killed, their abdomens are emptied, and magical talismans are infused into them, enabling them to transport people and objects into the sky and into the water.

The Cloud Bat Flying Boat that Chen Mu rode was purchased from the Thousand Machine Sect by Chicken Cage Sect at a high price.

The flying boat has three decks.

Goods are placed on the bottom layer.

The middle floor is divided into small cubicles by screens, each containing two or three soft couches, enough for seven or eight people.

The top floor is exquisite and luxurious, and only those who have seen through illusions and cultivated magical powers are qualified to ride it.

Uh...

With a long, drawn-out cry, white smoke suddenly billowed out from a row of dark, gaping pores beneath the cloud bat's wings.

After a slight tremor, the enormous cloud bat flying boat slowly floated into the air.

On the second floor, in a cubicle by the window.

Chen Mu and Old Hao leaned against the round jade window, looking down at the flat bluestone ground that was getting farther and farther away.

This is the fourth day since they left Tianhefang.

The Cloud Bat Flying Boat arrived at the Upper Courtyard on Chicken Coop Road, supposedly to pick up people to board the boat.

A moment later, Shang Huan hurriedly entered the cubicle.

"We found out that the person we received was an elder surnamed Sun."

"He also brought hundreds of disciples from the Upper Temple onto the ship."

"Now our Supervisor Song can't be the supervisor anymore," Shang Huan whispered to the two of them.

"Who becomes the supervisor is none of our business," Old Hao said casually, puffing on his cigarette. "It doesn't matter who you work the land for."

Chen Mushen agreed.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother Mo has returned to the Upper Academy." Shang Huan sighed, "My business is finished."

"Isn't there also Supervisor Liang?" Old Hao asked, puzzled.

"They're only doing this because of Senior Brother Mo. He's a Qi Condensation Realm expert; he doesn't care about a thousand or eight hundred pieces of white jade a month." Shang Huan shook his head.

"Finding a new backer is difficult," Shang Huan sighed.

"Didn't they say that hundreds of upper academy disciples have arrived? There must be some disciples among them who have sensed and broken through illusions. If we look carefully, we can always find a new backer," Chen Mu casually suggested.

"I'm afraid they'll make exorbitant demands and swallow us whole," Shang Huan said worriedly.

"Why didn't you ask Senior Brother Mo for recommendations?" Chen Mu asked.

"I asked," Shang Huan said, looking annoyed. "He told me to go find Mr. Gongsun."

"This Mr. Gongsun is like a mouse, always hiding his head and tail. Where am I supposed to find him?"

Hide the head and show the tail?

A mouse?

Chen Mu squinted at Shang Huan.

You fat bastard, I'll remember you!
……

"Oh, right, Brother Chen, Senior Brother Mo asked me to pass on a message to you before he left." Shang Huan suddenly said, slapping his forehead, "He said that if your matter succeeds, you can go directly to Supervisor Liang."

He then looked at Chen Mu curiously: "What's the matter? Why do you need to see Supervisor Liang?"

Chen Mu squinted and said, "It's nothing, I just found a new job."

Old Hao and Shang Huan looked at each other in bewilderment.

What kind of job could possibly involve the Juvenile Detention Center?
They spent a considerable amount of time together on a regular basis, yet they hadn't heard a single word about it beforehand.

In their eyes, Chen Mu suddenly became mysterious.

Chen Mu smiled but didn't explain. Instead, he turned to look at the courtyard on Chicken Coop Road outside the window.

Although he didn't intend to hide it, he still didn't plan to publicize it extensively because it involved such a high-profit job as alchemy.

The cloud bats spewed out white mist and smoke, rising higher and higher.

A huge square, as large as four football fields, came into view.

The square is paved with bluestone, and there are neat stone buildings on the south side, which seems to be a market area.

To the north are towering, continuous mountain ranges that seem to reach into the clouds.

On the verdant green mountains, the roofs of blue-tiled houses with brackets and flying eaves occasionally peek out, and the white jade steps appear and disappear.

"It's a pity we can't disembark," Chen Mu said regretfully.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come to Chicken Coop Road again.

Uh...

Accompanied by a long, drawn-out cry.

The cloud bat was surrounded by smoke and trailed a trail of smoke and cloud as it slanted upwards through the clouds.

Then, with a slight flutter of its wings, it steadied itself and, accompanied by billowing white steam, quickly disappeared into the horizon. ...

half a month later.

The easternmost part of Yunzhou is a range of mountains stretching from south to north, known as the Eastern Ridge.

The mountain peaks are steep and shrouded in mist and haze all year round. Sometimes, streaks of light can be seen flying through the air. According to folklore, immortals live among them.

Deep in the Dongling Mountains, a mountain peak rises into the clouds, named Yuquan.

Below Yuquan Mountain, there are five or six low hills forming a ring, enclosing a vast basin plain.

At the edge of the basin, at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, there are rows of hastily made wooden houses.

Inside the wooden house.

Chen Mu, holding the Primordial Refining Furnace, slowly opened his eyes.

Wind and Fire Cardinal Spell: 5037/10000;

"Having mastered the basics, you should be able to try alchemy."

"But the success rate is probably not high."

"And even if we can practice, we can't show it to Liang Yi; it's too fast," Chen Mu thought to himself, squinting.

He had subtly confirmed several times that Mo Wuzhou had spent half a year just mastering the Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique.

If I can refine the Bigu Pill in less than half a year, what if I am discovered and arrested for investigation?
Just as he was thinking about when to go find Liang Yi, a commotion came from outside the wooden house.

Chen Mu couldn't help but push open the window to look out.

An elderly man in his fifties with a goatee was carrying a book and knocking on the doors of each wooden house, asking questions and making notes from time to time.

Many people came out of the wooden house and leaned against the door to watch with great interest.

"Looks like we don't need to wait anymore, we have to go today."

The old man was compiling a register of the lower-level disciples' ranks for easier unified deployment.

I have already mastered the ability to sense and discern illusions, but it is not appropriate to expose it in public.

It would be better to change one's identity directly through Liang Yi.

Aside from a few acquaintances, it won't cause much of a stir.

……

Yuquan Mountain soars into the clouds, with pavilions and towers stretching across its summit, as if it were lying on top of the clouds.

The golden sun shines brightly on the sea of ​​clouds, making the mountaintop look like a fairyland.

On the west side of the mountaintop, there is a pine forest, where two wooden buildings, one large and one small, are hidden.

Inside the living room on the first floor of the small wooden building, Chen Mu pointed his right hand at the gray cloth bag on the ground.

Five Elements Qi Absorption!

hum!
The yellow sprout rice inside the bag trembled, and wisps of white powder seemed to rise up, gathering into a ball in Chen Mu's palm.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Mu stopped his breathing technique and put a fist-sized ball of the essence of grains into a brown wooden box on the coffee table beside him.

Then, with a look of shame, he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, my skills are not good enough. I can only extract six or seven jin out of a hundred jin. I am ashamed."

"Master was right, you really do have a talent for alchemy." Liang Yi sighed, then shook his head: "What a pity..."

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"I will arrange for you to work as an alchemist in the Danbao Pavilion of the General Affairs Bureau."

"But regarding the plan for accumulating Daoist merit, we can only follow the arrangements of the other courtyard; even the master can't make many changes," Liang Yi said calmly.

Chen Mu's heart sank immediately.

The matter of refining elixirs and accumulating Dao merit has taken an unexpected turn!

"As you can see, Jade Spring Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, and its earth veins and springs are truly exceptional." Liang Yi exclaimed, "This place is no longer the lower courtyard, but has become the Jade Spring Mountain Villa of Chicken Cage Road."

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

The fact that it's called a separate courtyard means that even if the environment here isn't as good as the main courtyard, it's not much different.

The Jade Spring Mountain is too big a pie for Song Wuji to handle alone; it requires the combined efforts of many.

With more people involved, the affairs of the villa also need to be discussed and decided upon.

Chen Mu's face was grim.

He had intended to quietly refine elixirs and accumulate Daoist cultivation, but unexpectedly, this unexpected turn of events occurred.

"I will leave it to the Junior Supervisor to arrange," Chen Mu said respectfully, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.

He understood that being placed in the Danbao Pavilion was compensation for the previous matter of Daoist cultivation.

Whether you accept it or not, the situation cannot be changed.
