My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 347 Chapter 346 Aftermath
A person is in mid-air.

Chen Mu dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

The divine talisman spun rapidly, and the jade seed's magical power surged out wildly, pushing the Five Ghosts Netherflame Escape Technique to its limit.

But just as they landed on the mountainside, a deadly sense of crisis suddenly struck.

It was as if he were being stared at intently by a powerful, enlightened demon.

He glanced back instinctively.

A pale yellow beam of light shot into the sky from the golden roof.

It paused briefly in mid-air, then, like a rocket being ignited, it suddenly broke through the thin mist on the mountaintop and shot straight toward him.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two was halved.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu could even see the other person's thin and eccentric face.

"Kui Shui Yin Lei!"

A sharp, explosive shout rang out.

click!
Almost the instant he saw the light again, a bolt of purplish-black lightning, as thick as a bucket, arrived in front of Chen Mu.

The protective black smoke of the spirit armor crumbled upon contact with the spiritual light.

Chen Mu's pupils suddenly contracted to needle size.

His muscles were stiff and tense, and the deadly threat made his mind go blank.

Aside from subconsciously activating the Five Ghosts Possession, there was no time for any other reaction; all that remained was a blank stare at the purplish-black lightning so close at hand.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

He could even clearly see the dark lightning tearing through the air, slowly advancing along a twisted path like withered branches.

Just when he thought he was doomed, a pale white spherical bone shield suddenly appeared before him.

At this moment.

Chen Mu was like a mosquito trapped in amber, completely still.

The purplish-black lightning resembled a black snake struggling to swim through the mud.

Only the pale bone shield moved freely, as if it had just woken up and was shaking its whole body as if yawning, with a nimble tremor.

Nearly 70% of Chen Muyu's magical power was instantly absorbed.

The next moment, the still image suddenly came to life.

The slowly advancing purplish-black lightning bolt suddenly struck, slamming violently onto the bone shield.

boom!
Chen Mu was like a baseball that had been hit hard and sent flying. In a flash, he became a blur and flew towards the ground.

Just before it hit the ground, the gray-white rocks below melted rapidly, resembling a soft surface of water.

Boo!
With a soft thud, Chen Mu, who was falling rapidly, suddenly sank into the ground and disappeared.

The softened rock then solidified again into a hard, rigid surface.

Several bolts of purplish-black lightning followed closely behind.

With a loud bang, a crater more than ten meters deep was instantly ripped open in the ground.

But Chen Mu's figure had completely disappeared underground.

Pale yellow light fell to the ground.

Sun Jian waved his black robe, and a whirlwind swept through, whipping up clouds of dust.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the large crater in the ground.

His thin cheeks were bulging with sharp wrinkles, and his face was full of sinister anger!

……

Chen Mu Cave.

The ground rippled with patterns resembling water.

Chen Mu emerged from the ground, his face pale.

"so close!"

With a flick of his right hand, a massive, pale white bone shield appeared.

The once lively Yang messengers were now lifeless, their automatic defense capabilities, which made them seem like living beings, had vanished.

"I don't know if it can be cured." Chen Mu felt heartbroken.

If it weren't for the timely appearance of the Yangchai Bone Shield, he wouldn't have survived tonight.

"This isn't over yet!" Chen Mu quickly composed himself and put away the Yangcha Bone Shield.

He immediately stripped off all his clothes and activated the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain technique to devour them completely.

Then black smoke enveloped his entire body, like a vacuum cleaner, thoroughly cleaning away all the dust, sweat, and odor from every angle.

Then I quickly changed into a loose-fitting undergarment and lay down on the bed.

He had considered running away. But if he did, his identity would be quickly discovered.

Then he would face the pursuit of a high-level cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage.

By then, the other side will call on their friends and all sorts of tracking and exploration techniques, and Chen Mu will have no chance to escape, no matter where he goes!

"Act as if nothing happened. As long as our identities aren't confirmed, we might have a glimmer of hope!" Chen Mu thought to himself, narrowing his eyes.

"But what if the elder of the Sun family investigates in person?"

If Sun Chengye could discern the general principles of the Yellow Springs, then the elder of the Sun family certainly could as well.

"Physical posture and demeanor..."

Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the reason why Sun Chengye suspected him.

"Then change your posture and demeanor!"

He immediately brought out the gray wall.

Transformation Technique: 9437/10000/Tier 4;

"If fourth rank isn't enough, then fifth rank will do!"

"It's just a liver!" Chen Mu thought fiercely.

He lay half-reclined on the bed, staring at the movement outside the window, ready to run away at any moment.

At the same time, he relentlessly gained experience in the Transformation Technique.

It's not just a change of face; all the muscles and bones in the body are mobilized.

She was lying there quietly, but it seemed as if countless little mice had crawled in under her clothes, constantly rising and falling.

His face was ever-changing, sometimes he became an old man in armor, sometimes he became a fat man named Shang Huan.

She even changed her female face, transforming into Wu Ruo and Shi Xian, two of the Seven Brothers and Sisters of Wushan.

He was on tenterhooks all night, and even saw pale yellow streaks of light flash overhead twice, which terrified Chen Mu.

As the sun rises in the east, the sky gradually brightens.

Chen Mu felt increasingly nervous.

He got up, dressed, and washed up as usual, but with each step he took, he changed his expression, racing against time to gain experience in the Transformation Technique.

"Sun Chengye's movements yesterday couldn't be kept secret for long!"

"Once they know I'll be the last one they see, they'll definitely come here to check!"

"No."

"We can't stay in the cave anymore."

If I'm trapped at home with no one around, wouldn't I be at the mercy of others?
The Scripture Transmission Institute!
That is the territory of the Dao Lord's direct descendants.

Even though the Sun family is powerful, they still have some reservations and will not act too recklessly!
He waited anxiously until dawn, and through the window he saw people starting to appear in the General Affairs Office. He immediately went out and headed straight for the Scripture Transmission Office.

……

As the sun rose higher, the entire Yuquan Mountain gradually came alive.

Sun Chengye died in front of the gate of Jinding Mountain.

Not only the Sun family was furious, but the villa was equally indignant.

Too arrogant!
Almost the entire inspection team was mobilized.

Starting from the rock pit where Chen Mu burrowed underground last night, the search expanded outwards, circling around the mountain.

Sun Jian also personally led a team to track down Sun Chengye's movements.

He found everyone he had seen within three days and investigated them one by one.

……

The Chuanjing Academy, on the first floor of Tianyi Pavilion.

Chen Mu stood in front of the counter by the door, holding two books in his hands.

"Have you made your selection? If you have, hurry up and pay!" a young man in his late twenties said impatiently from behind the counter.

"Let me take another look, let me take another look." Chen Mu looked conflicted.

"What are you looking at? If you want them, just buy them all!" the young man said, slamming his hand on the table.

"I have no money." Chen Mu shrank his neck.

The two booklets contain introductions to the Tongxi Baizhang Pill and the Tianyao Rebirth Pill, respectively, and also list their prices.

Five thousand merit points, ten thousand white jade coins, one set!
He used to think he was quite wealthy, but after visiting the Chuanjing Institute, he realized he wasn't even a nouveau riche.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, two figures suddenly appeared beside Chen Mu.

One of the lame, short, thin old men grinned as he met Chen Mu's probing gaze.

"Wonderful method confuses the gods!"

A strange force suddenly enveloped Chen Mu.

Chen Mu felt a jolt throughout his body, as if his soul had left his body, and he lost control of his body.

He felt as if he had become a bystander, watching himself standing there blankly, no longer able to move.

Oops!
They've been taken into custody!

In his desperation, he instinctively struggled... and actually managed to regain some control of his body!

With a thought, the little finger of his right hand, which was hanging by his side, suddenly curled up slightly.

Hey?!

"This person's method of bewitching the mind... doesn't seem to be very effective."

He has always been quite resistant to hallucinogenic attacks. Apart from being tricked by Cui Cui once, other attacks, such as the soul-stealing effect of the Heartless Bell or the fear intimidation of ordinary ghosts, have little effect on him.

“Uncle-Master Sun, isn’t it inappropriate to attack your own disciple in front of me?” The young man behind the counter suddenly stood up.

“Young man, two geniuses of my Sun family have died, and our family heirloom has gone missing.”

“Right now, it’s just a matter of influencing the mind and spirit; I’ve already been very restrained!” Sun Jian said coldly.

Ying Tianze's expression changed slightly, and he had to sigh, "Uncle, please accept my condolences."

He immediately said earnestly, "I hope my uncle will not take his anger out on the innocent. Otherwise..."

The bet was right!
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Before this direct disciple of the Dao Master, Sun Jian naturally restrained himself.

If one is alone in the cave.

They might just knock you down right away. They could even cripple you outright!
……

"Don't worry, Abbot Yingdu. I cultivate the wondrous method of bewitching the spirit, and I am most skilled at seizing souls and stealing spirits."

“Those who fall victim to this magic are all captivated, and their words must come from the heart; they would never wrong the innocent,” the lame old man said with a smile.

Sun Jian gave Ying Tianze a cold glance, then slightly shook his head, signaling the lame old man to hurry up and make his move.

The lame old man smiled and nodded slightly to Ying Tiance, then stepped forward and asked, "Did you see Sun Chengye yesterday?"

"I have seen him," Chen Mu answered honestly.

"What did you talk about?" the lame old man continued.

"He wants to recruit me as a retainer of the Sun family," Chen Mu said slowly, his eyes blank, like a fool.

The way the three of them looked at Chen Mu immediately changed.

What talents does this guy have that made Sun Chengye personally try to win him over?
That scholar who was skilled in alchemy? Sun Jian already knew the answer.

"You agreed?" the lame old man continued to ask.

"Only a fool would agree," Chen Mu said calmly.

Ok? !

Sun Jian's eyebrows shot up immediately.

"Why?" The lame old man suddenly became interested.

"We finally found a sucker, so of course we have to leave him hanging for a few days, otherwise how can we raise the price?" Chen Mu said matter-of-factly.

Sun Jian: "..."

Ying Tianze's expression turned strange.

The lame old man's face stiffened. He glanced at Sun Jian cautiously and, seeing the other's unpleasant expression, quickly changed the subject and asked, "According to your usual practice, apart from giving lectures at the beginning and middle of the month, you spend the rest of the time cultivating alone in your cave."

"Why did you rush to the Scripture Transmission Academy this morning?" The lame old man stared intently at Chen Mu, his bewitching power suddenly increasing by three points.

Chen Mu was immediately confused and involuntarily opened his mouth.

not good!

The Seven Souls Return to Their Origin!

The truth that had risen to his throat was immediately swallowed back down.

He immediately said with a shrewd look, "We've finally found a sucker. To swindle as much as possible, of course we need to quickly find out which alchemy secret method is more valuable!"

Sun Jian: "..."

Ying Tianze's expression grew increasingly strange.

"Ask him if he knows Sun Wuhuan!" Sun Jian said irritably.

"Sun Wuhuan?" Chen Mu's face broke into a smug smile.

"Why don't you recognize me?"

"That fat bastard is trying to swindle me out of my money. I'm not some sucker like Sun Chengye, how could I possibly fall for that!"

Snapped!
Ying Tianze quickly covered his mouth.

Someone in the Sun family has died; we can't laugh, absolutely not!

However, what a sucker...

what!
Upon hearing this, Sun Jian's forehead veins bulged, and with a flick of his sleeve, he turned and left!

The lame old man quickly withdrew his magic and hurried after him.

Chen Muxuan pretended to wake up and slowly came to his senses. Then his expression froze, as if he had suddenly remembered something.

Then he sighed with regret.

"What's wrong?" Ying Tianze asked curiously.

Chen Mu reluctantly put down the alchemy manual in his hand and said honestly, "It's not easy to find a sucker like me. Now there's no more being scammed."

A loud boom echoed outside Tianyi Pavilion, and a pale yellow rainbow of light shot into the sky with violent intensity.

The smooth bluestone slabs were all broken into pieces on the ground.

"Ha ha!"

Ying Tianze could no longer contain himself and burst into laughter, slapping the table.

The usually shrewd Sun family was actually taken advantage of.

Thinking of Sun Jian's ugly expression, Ying Tianze laughed even harder.

……

Chen Mu hid in the Scripture Transmission Academy for another day before returning to his cave at dusk.

late at night.

He lay in bed as usual, his breathing gradually becoming long and even.

On the surface, he seemed to be fast asleep, but in his heart, he was very clear-headed.

The listening technique hanging on his ear was also in operation.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they will jump up and run away immediately.

"That was too close!" Chen Mu was still shaken by the experience.

If it weren't for the fact that he had fully mastered the Transformation Technique before Sun Jian arrived, thus completely altering his physical appearance and aura...

He'd be doomed the moment he saw Sun Jian!

If it weren't for the gray wall and the Seven Souls Returning to Origin blocking the bewitching magic,

When the lame old man asked, he knew he was doomed too.

If it weren't for Ying Tian Ce by his side, Sun Jian would have been hesitant to use cruel methods.

If Chen Mu puts up a fight and reveals a weakness, he will eventually be finished!
"I guess I've escaped for now." Chen Mu was still shaken.

In just one night, Sun Jian not only found himself, but also figured out his lifestyle habits.

Fortunately, I didn't flee rashly.

Otherwise, once a problem is confirmed, they will be relentlessly pursued with no way out.

"I hope everything goes well." Chen Mu felt uneasy.

……

Half a month later.

The bustling Yuquan Mountain gradually returned to tranquility.

But things have changed after all.

The number of personnel stationed at the inspection station has been doubled.

The entire Yuquan Mountain is patrolled and monitored day and night.

Chen Mu was later summoned by the inspection team and questioned in detail.

Fortunately, Sun Jian wasn't there this time, nor was he bewitched by any secret techniques; it was just a simple inquiry and verification.

After failing to find the cause of the attack, the two courtyards unanimously concluded that the attack was a counterattack by local forces in Dongling.

To this end, the Sun family patriarch even went to Eagle's Sorrow Cliff and used the Sunflower Water Yin Thunder to thoroughly plow through the local forces gathered around it.

I heard they even blew up a small hill.

Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The Buddhist Academy.

As usual, Chen Mu went to give lectures to his three apprentices.

Just as I reached the door, I ran into Li Changjiu again.

"Isn't Senior Brother Li going to Eagle's Sorrow Cliff?" Chen Mu asked curiously.

"We've run into Sun Chengye's mess, so they won't let us leave." Li Changjiu pursed his lips. "They say they're protecting our safety, but actually they're just sealing off Yuquan Mountain to investigate the murderer."

"They are indeed from the Sun family, so precious!"

“After all, he’s a genius from the Sun family, so it’s normal to pay more attention to him.” Chen Mu said naturally, “Besides, it’s really not safe down the mountain, so we should stay on the mountain for as long as possible.”

“You’re right.” Li Changjiu chuckled.

He immediately exclaimed, "Actually, it's not very safe up in the mountains either."

“Look at Sun Chengye, tsk tsk…” Li Changjiu shook his head with schadenfreude.

"I wonder which ruthless person dared to make a move in front of the Golden Summit Gate. They are truly arrogant!"

"Sun Chengye was useless too; he was chopped into mincemeat, and the mountain path was stained red. It was a terrible sight."

"If I were to run into that person, hmph..."

"What do you want?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

Li Changjiu felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but shiver.

"Hmm... then we definitely have to teach him a lesson." Li Changjiu said stiffly.

is it?

Chen Mu squinted at him, a half-smile on his face: "Senior brother is truly mighty."

Are you going to make me look bad right in front of me?

Ah!
