My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 338: Level 4
a few days later.

A small building in a corner of Yantai Square on the mountainside of Wuyan Mountain.

Sun Chengye frowned as he looked at the book in his hand.

"I asked you to find your brother's enemies, not these insignificant little people."

Li Guangfu spread his hands: "But all these people have disputes with Vice Minister Sun."

"Is it really necessary to write that you tricked a Chen surnamed alchemist in the General Affairs Department into buying a forged alchemist's manual?" Sun Chengye glared at Li Guangfu.

"It's just a little bit of Daoist cultivation, how much enmity could that possibly cause with my brother?!"

“Brother Sun, you are mistaken,” Li Guangfu said earnestly. “Sometimes, even a little bit of Taoist skill can drive someone to their death!”

Sun Chengye looked suspicious: "You're not recording these trivial matters to swindle more jade money from me, are you?"

Li Guangfu looked at Sun Chengye in disbelief: "Brother Sun, how can you look at me like that?"

"Everyone in this booklet is a potential murderer!"

"I've kept such detailed records, all to help you find your brother's remains," Li Guangfu declared earnestly.

"Alright!" Sun Chengye waved his hand impatiently.

With a flick of his right hand, a mustard seed talisman appeared.

He tossed the jade to Li Guangfu and said indifferently, "Our Sun family has no shortage of white jade money. It's just a matter of whether you have the ability to earn it."

Li Guangfu took the mustard seed talisman and, with a smile, took out a pale yellow letter folded into a square from the leather pouch at his waist.

Sun Chengye curiously unfolded it, revealing seven or eight lonely names written on it.

"Zhang Mukui, Liu Xiali..."

"This is……"

Li Guangfu chuckled: "These are all unlucky guys who were tricked out of most of their wealth by Vice Governor Sun."

Sun Chengye's eyes lit up immediately.

"That's how things should be done!"

"If we successfully find my brother's remains, there will be plenty of benefits for you." Sun Chengye nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't use insignificant figures like the alchemist surnamed Chen to fill the ranks again."

That depends on your sincerity.

Li Guangfu fiddled with the mustard seed talisman in his hand, smiling without saying a word.

No amount of promises can compare to the tangible value of real jade.

……

"The gourd-shaped sword box is actually used to make sword pellets?"

On the east side of Wuyan Mountain stands Chen Muzhu Building.

A nobody was carefully examining the jade slip in the Sun family's gourd sword box.

"The flying sword is the flying sword, and the sword case is the sword case. I thought they were one and the same." Chen Mu was quite surprised.

According to the jade slip, as long as one collects minerals and absorbs the essence of Geng metal, one can cultivate sword pellets using a gourd-shaped sword box.

"In that case, the red gourd will be worth much more!"

After carefully reviewing the materials required for the sword pill, Chen Mu became somewhat discouraged.

"He's also a big spender on money."

He suddenly realized that Sun Wuhuan's box of ore was probably for nurturing flying swords.

"No wonder he only had a little over ten thousand white jade coins on him."

The Condensing Aperture Secret Technique consumes a lot of resources, and the gourd sword box also consumes a considerable amount. The fact that Sun Wuhuan was able to keep more than 10,000 white jades shows that he is skilled at accumulating wealth.

"That gourd sword case doesn't seem to need to be sold either."

The gourd-shaped sword case was eye-catching, and the Sun family could recognize it at a glance.

However, the magical sword pellet is not unique and can be used freely.

"Sun Wuhuan's flying sword seems to have been mostly refined. If the refinement continues, he might soon obtain a flying sword pellet!"

Chen Mu suddenly felt an urge to dig up the treasure gourd immediately.

"No, I can't take the risk!" He quickly suppressed his emotions.

That treasure gourd is so precious, what if the Sun family has a backup plan?
"Besides, my twists of fate weren't bad either."

The magical power within the jade seed surged, urging the Spirit Nourishing Incantation.

A dark, shadowy figure appeared, and a fist-sized, hollowed-out bone ball floated up and spun around in front of him.

Chen Mu clearly remembered that the first time Sun Wuhuan saw the Yang Chariot, he shamelessly claimed that it was the magic weapon he had lost.

It's obvious they've got their eyes on the Bone Shield Yang Messenger and want to take it by force!
"Once the gourd flying sword is formed, its power has a limit." "But by a twist of fate, it can be strengthened and grown using a spirit-nurturing spell, making it even more mysterious than the gourd flying sword."

With this thought, Chen Mu completely calmed down.

"Let's just stick to learning the Jie script."

Chen Mu brought up the gray wall and stared at the first two entries with a strange look.

Writing: 4429/10000/Third order;

Drawing: 140/10000/Third order;

To gain experience points, Chen Mu stayed in the bamboo house all day copying Ge Shi's Notes on Herbal Medicine.

Not only has my writing skill improved rapidly, but my drawing ability, which had been stagnant for five or six years, has also unknowingly reached level three.

"It was a pleasant surprise."

Chen Mu picked up a brush and quickly sketched on a large white sheet of Xuan paper.

Before long, a pattern the size of a vegetable plate, composed of fine lines and black dots, took shape.

"After all, it's not Jiewen (a type of script), and using a two-dimensional plane to depict three-dimensional symbols always falls short."

"This is just a simple golden pearl talisman. To record the general outline of the Yellow Springs using pictorial abilities... is difficult."

……

evening.

Bai Xiuwen walked into Chen Muzhu Building carrying a large bamboo basket: "Senior brother, are you still pondering that alchemist's handbook?"

"If we figure something out, wouldn't that be a profit?" Chen Mu said casually.

Few people know about Jiewen. Chen Mu didn't intend to say more.

Standing up and taking the bamboo basket, Chen Mu looked at the wild vegetables and exotic beast meat inside with satisfaction: "I will be in seclusion for the next half month, so I'll have to trouble you with the procurement of supplies."

He planned to max out his third-tier writing ability in one go. He would only feel at ease if he wrote down the general outline of the Underworld as soon as possible.

“Come every three days and tell me about the changes on the mountain, otherwise I’ll really become deaf and blind.”

As he spoke, he handed the golden pearl talisman he had just drawn that afternoon to Bai Xiuwen.

"This is..." Bai Xiuwen was about to say a few polite words, but when he saw what was on the paper, he immediately became excited.

"This is the approximate appearance of the Golden Pearl Talisman. With its help, it won't be long before you can completely master the Golden Pearl Talisman."

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Bai Xiuwen respectfully clasped his hands in thanks.

Chen Mu waved his hand dismissively: "Just tell me more interesting things to relieve my boredom."

Bai Xiuwen is well-informed.

This would allow him to stay informed about the changes in Misty Mountain, especially the movements of the Sun family.

"I will definitely not let my senior brother down!" Bai Xiuwen said earnestly.

……

This wasn't Chen Mu's first time going into seclusion to improve his proficiency; he had plenty of experience.

Although the goal is to master the third-level writing ability, it doesn't mean blindly practicing day and night.

It was even more regular and leisurely than usual.

I get up early and go to bed early every day, ignoring everything else around me.

Aside from reciting the Spirit Nourishing Mantra twice during my free time, I spend the rest of my time diligently copying the "Annotations on Herbs".

As proficiency increases, insights continuously flood into my mind.

He could only read the Jie script, which he couldn't write, but gradually he mastered it.

More than ten days later.

The project on the gray wall has finally changed.

Writing: 107/10000/Fourth order;

Chen Mu recalled the information in his mind, his brows furrowing slightly.

He learned the script, but he didn't fully master it.

The ancient Chinese texts in the "Notes on Herbs" contain images, sounds, smells, and tactile sensations, just like the virtual world imagined in movies and TV dramas from a previous life, making people feel as if they are there.

The script of the Fourth-Order Writing Society can only record three-dimensional images.

"Never mind, this is enough." Chen Mu decided not to continue practicing.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he decided to first transcribe the General Outline of the Underworld.
