My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 321 Misty Mountain

As time went by, the weather grew colder.
One morning, Chen Mu woke up to find that snowflakes were falling on Yuquan Mountain.

"Could it be Xue Yao Qing Liu again?"

Before he could activate the Seven Souls Return to Origin for verification.

The concentric rope above their heads vibrated first.

Shang Huan?

Chen Mu understood.

This fat guy was also a witness to the Pengyue Mountain incident, and he's probably feeling uneasy right now.

"What is it?" Chen Mu used the Heart-to-Heart Spell to communicate with Gongsun Sheng, who was known for his cold and aloof demeanor.

"Sir, could you make another batch of Wood Spirits?" Shang Huan asked cautiously.

It wasn't for the Snow Demon after all?
"Reason?" Chen Mu didn't rush to deny it.

“Three similar probe-use magical artifacts and talismans have appeared in the Lower House, and they are quite expensive.”

"Introducing Mu Linglang at this time will no longer attract covetousness."

Chen Mu couldn't help but be tempted.

Since there's little risk, getting more jade money is certainly a good thing.

He was so poor that he didn't dare to buy clothes!

“Okay,” Chen Mu said calmly.

He then seemed to remember something and instructed, "Buy Wood Spirit Sprouts and you'll get the recipe for Spirit-Attracting Elixir for free. Never hoard Spirit-Attracting Elixir."

Selling religious artifacts once is fine, but if it's a long-term business with huge profits, it might attract envy.

"Yes." Shang Huan's voice was full of regret.

Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Luckily, he had given extra instructions, otherwise this fat guy really would have done it!
He immediately cut off the synesthesia.

A Wood Spirit earns seventy or eighty White Jade.

Make a hundred of these every month, and you'll have nearly ten thousand pieces of white jade in your hands.

The number of people at Yuquanshan Villa is increasing, and the General Affairs Bureau's Inspection Office is expanding again and again.

With such a huge population base, they might earn enough in a year to buy the Jade Money for the Condensing Aperture Secret Technique!

Moreover, because there are similar magical artifacts, Mu Linglang will not attract attention.

It's profitable, safe, and a great project!

As long as Shang Huan doesn't cause any trouble, everything will be fine.

Will Shang Huan cause any trouble?

Well...you can't really say for sure!

……

Yuquanfang at the foot of the mountain.

The small shop, Qiwutang, is located in the main room in the backyard.

"Why didn't you ask about the Snow Demon?" Old Hao asked anxiously.

"Mr. Gongsun agreed to help me become the Wood Spirit! Haha!" Shang Huanle's small eyes narrowed into slits.

"You don't even know if you can save your life, and you're still thinking about making money?!" Old Hao was furious.

"What Fatty means is that Mr. Gongsun thought there was no problem, which is why he agreed to make the Wood Spirit." A chubby, fair-skinned, bald young man in his twenties said with a grin.

"Tsk tsk... Uncle Hao, I've never heard that smoking is bad for your brain, have I?"

"Look at Jia Tian," Shang Huanle chuckled jokingly.

"Go away!" Old Hao also realized what was happening, glared at Shang Huan, and refilled his pipe with fresh tobacco.

……

After chatting for a while, Shang Huan stopped the small talk, frowned and thought: "We should consider how to break the deadlock."

"The Two Elements Mirror, the Blood Gu Eye, and the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Talisman have been approved as three investigative tools."

"If we don't come up with a good idea, the Wood Spirit Bro won't sell well."

"That depends on who you sell it to," bald, chubby Jia Tian chuckled.

"What brilliant ideas does Prince Jia have?" Shang Huanle asked with a chuckle.

"People from our area can come to Yuquanfang and buy the Yin-Yang Mirror at will."

"But what about those unorthodox methods that are being chased like rats crossing the street?" Jia Tian said meaningfully.

"Great idea!" Shang Huan's eyes lit up.

"Don't do anything reckless," Old Hao quickly stopped them.

"What if those unorthodox sects get their hands on the Wood Spirit and turn against us?"

"Those people are like rats, always running around everywhere."

"With the eyes of the Wood Spirit, it would be even harder to be discovered."

"When will this battle at Jade Spring Mountain end?" Old Hao glared at the bald-headed Jia Tian.

"Haha! We're going to keep it going!" Shang Huan slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter.

"Where there is conflict, there is consumption. Where there is consumption, there is money to be made!"

Jia Tian also became excited.

"For the greater good, we should even help the weaker side more!"

“We’ll sell them whatever they need: ritual implements, talismans, fasting pills. The goal is to make them keep pestering us.”

"The longer the fight goes on, the more we profit!"

The two fat men, one big and one small, stared at each other, their eyes almost lighting up.

"A kindred spirit!" "A fellow traveler!"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Mu, who secretly connected with synesthesia: "..."

I just fucking know it!

Try your best to entangle them?

And the longer you stay, the more you earn?
These two are definitely warmongers!

Through Shang Huan's eyes, Chen Mu glared at the bald, chubby boy.

With these two brilliant and talented individuals, it's hard to imagine them not causing trouble!

The Seven Souls Return to Their Origin!

With a fierce determination, Chen Mu drained Shang Huan of her composure in an instant.

The fat man's eyes rolled back immediately, and he fainted instantly.

If they hadn't been too far away to act in time, that little bald guy would definitely not have escaped!

……

Using the Seven Souls Return to Origin technique to enhance mental strength, and confirming that the snowfall on Jade Spring Mountain was merely a natural phenomenon, Chen Mu felt relieved.

After giving Shang Huan a stern warning, Chen Mu's life returned to normal.

Refining pills, crafting wood spirits, and gaining experience with the Fire Cloud Spell—a mix of busy and leisurely pursuits, quite comfortable indeed.

One month later, in Chen Mu's cave dwelling, inside the alchemy room.

Bai Xiuwen and his two companions, Feng and Xue, sat respectfully on the prayer cushions with their backs ramrod straight.

Listening to Chen Mu explain his experience in constructing the Golden Pearl Talisman, his eyebrows lit up and his face showed a look of sudden realization.

For a long time.

The three of them simultaneously cupped their hands in thanks: "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen!"

The black-bearded man, Xue Yangliu, trembled with excitement: "With my senior brother's guidance, I will be able to begin constructing the Golden Pearl Talisman in at most two months!"

"This is your deserved reward, no need to thank me." Chen Mu waved his hand, not caring at all.

Then, he asked with a puzzled look, "The basics of the Golden Pearl Talisman aren't difficult, are they? Didn't Senior Brother Qi teach you?"

The three of them exchanged a glance.

“He teaches, but only a little each time, and not as thoroughly as my senior brother,” Bai Xiuwen said.

Should one lesson be divided into ten lessons?
How can we ensure that Bai Xiuwen and others are exploited for a sufficiently long period of time?
Chen Mu suddenly realized.

Tsk tsk...you really know how to fleece people.

"Has he been up to anything lately?" Chen Mu asked habitually.

What if that guy badmouths him? Ha...

"No, not at all," Bai Xiuwen said.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "It's about stopping the matter of buying fasting pills to exchange for other medicines."

"And they also asked us to increase the amount of the essence of the five grains."

"Judging from his appearance, it seems he wants to go into seclusion to hone his alchemy skills."

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

What an honest man!

If he had run into those ruthless people, they might have already stuffed Chen Mu in a sack!
……

After seeing Bai Xiuwen and the other two off, Chen Mu returned to the alchemy room.

After bringing up the gray wall, Chen Mu looked at the experience points for the Fire Cloud Spell.

Fire Cloud Spell: 1736/10000/Tier 3;

After breaking through to the second tier, the temperature of the fire cloud did not change much, but the size of the flames increased several times.

Moreover, it can both coalesce into large clusters of fire clouds and differentiate into individual fire feathers.

It is more powerful and more agile.

"Keep refreshing."

……

As the sun and moon revolve, the weather gradually warms up.

The Upper Academy continues to send disciples to Jade Spring Mountain, some of whom have reached the Breaking Illusion Spiritual Light Realm.

The villa continues to expand its territory, constantly fighting with the unorthodox sects around Yuquan Mountain. It is said that even experts at the Qi Condensation Realm have joined the battle, resulting in casualties on both sides.

Chen Mu ignored everything else and leisurely spent his time refining pills and gaining experience.

Two months later, he was summoned to the presence of the Pavilion Master of Danbao Pavilion.

"Great news!" Zhu Yi said with a smile, "There is a Misty Cloud Sect on Misty Mountain, which is closest to Jade Spring Mountain."

“Three days ago, the Yanxia Sect’s mountain gate was breached, and now that place is our territory.”

This has nothing to do with me.

Chen Mu looked at Zhu Yi with a puzzled expression.

"The Yanxia Sect has stored a large amount of yellow sprout rice, which needs to be refined into a fasting pill as soon as possible."

"Your speed in refining the Bigu Pill is astonishing. This great merit should be earned by you."

Chen Mu frowned immediately.

Even if you're lucky enough to earn Taoist merit, you still need to be lucky enough to spend it.

Misty Mountain is on the front line of the struggle.

What if the evil forces retaliate?
Trouble!
