My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 355 Giant Spirit
"I didn't even dare to take the jade that was right in front of me. What a coward!" Chen Mu muttered with regret.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Never mind, condensing the aperture is more important in the end."

The Sun family continued to search for him, both openly and secretly.

If he were implicated by Shang Huan and the others, he would definitely be investigated.

Just like our neighbor Liu Hongyang, who was detained at Yuquan Mountain for six months under suspicion and repeatedly interrogated.

"At that point, we had no choice but to run away."

The key issue is that they might not even be able to escape.

Judging from Liu Hongyang's experience, Sun Jian's emphasis on the gourd sword box far exceeded expectations.

Chen Mu sat on the soft couch in the secret room, his brows furrowed. "We can no longer contact Shang Huan and the others, and if any problems arise, we must deal with them immediately!"

……

On the west side of Yingchou Cliff, there is the patrol office.

Inside a small building with black tiles, gray windows, and white walls.

Vice Chief of Staff Zhao Shaoyuan sat by the second-floor window for a long while before calmly saying, "That business can't be done."

Standing behind him, Steward Li Dechao's expression changed: "Steward, we received nearly 50,000 white jade last month, are you really not going to do it?"

Zhao Shaoyuan frowned slightly: "Stop it!"

"Who's blocking our path to wealth?!" Li Dechao's face was full of malice.

Zhao Shaoyuan turned and glared at the other person: "What, you want to cause trouble for Elder Hu?"

"Elder Hu at the mountaintop?"

Li Dechao shrank back immediately, but his face still showed a tentative, unwilling expression.

“We are simply trading with the local mountain people; it’s a manifestation of the villa’s integration into the local power group in Dongling.”

"Isn't Elder Hu... meddling a bit too much?"

Zhao Shaoyuan glanced at the other person: "The situation over at Liulian Mountain is getting increasingly chaotic."

"In the past, it could be called a trade between the two countries, but now it's aiding the enemy."

"Stop it as soon as possible."

Li Dechao could only nod reluctantly.

"Don't make a mistake," Zhao Shaoyuan cautioned. "Elder Hu told me to make an example of a few to scare the monkeys. Do you want to be that chicken?"

"No, no..." Li Dechao shook his head repeatedly.

His eyes darted around, and he grinned, "The elder asked you to arrest these smugglers, so what about the spoils..."

Zhao Shaoyuan's lips curled slightly: "At least you've become a little smarter."

Li Dechao was overjoyed: "No wonder you asked me to suppress the reports from Butcher Lu and the others."

"I used to think, 'Those people are stealing our business, how can we let them get away with this so easily?' Haha, I see..."

Zhao Shaoyuan nodded with a smile: "This business is ultimately skirting the line, so of course we need to prepare a few more scapegoats."

"Besides, pigs and rabbits are only valuable when they are fattened up."

"The Imperial Physician is truly brilliant!" Li Dechao exclaimed with admiration.

"Get your men ready. We need to take action against those groups together. We can't alert them and let them escape."

"Find out all the people involved, find out where they hid the white jade coins, and most importantly, find out who they sold the goods to and where they sold them," Zhao Shaoyuan instructed Li Dechao, pointing with his right index finger.

"Once the storm passes, with these readily available channels, we can get back to work!"

"Haha! The academy director's thinking is indeed far-sighted!" Li Dechao laughed heartily.

……

Time flies, and more than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.

As the weather gradually turns cooler, the lush green mountains are tinged with pale yellow.

On this crisp autumn day...

Chen Mu sat by the window of the wooden building, looking at the drizzling waterfall outside, his face solemn.

With a solemn expression, he carefully placed his hands on his stomach to feel it, and slowly, his eyes widened.

"How did you gain weight?!"

I don't know when, but he has developed a ring of fat on his stomach!
In his past life, he was fat and it took him a lot of effort to lose weight.

Now that we've traveled through time, how come...

Chen Mu looked dejected: "Didn't they say that cultivators expend a lot of energy and can eat whatever they want?"

From the very beginning of his training in body shaping techniques, he has never experienced body shape anxiety.

But now that he has developed magical powers, he has started to gain weight.

"All things considered, this body is only twenty-eight years old, how come it's already getting fat?" Chen Mu took a big gulp of the vanilla ice cream-flavored Rejuvenation Soup, his face full of resentment. "Even the Yellow Springs General Principles don't have this side effect."

Sun Wuhuan was indeed fat, but Old Ghost Sun was as thin as dry firewood.

"Rejuvenating Soup?" Chen Mu looked at the wooden cup in his hand.

He now realized that the reason he had gained weight was because he had been taking too many supplements.

"Unfortunately, the time allotted for cultivating the Qi Condensation Realm has come to an end."

The Condensation Stage transforms the body and spirit, but also consumes the body's vital energy and mental strength.

Now that my blood and energy are sufficient, it will take time for my mental and spiritual strength to recover.

The Seven Souls Returning to Origin absorbed were, after all, foreign substances; they were fine for emergency use. But Chen Mu dared not use them to construct a divine aperture.

"Blindly increasing the intensity of the Yellow Springs General Principles training may damage your mind and spirit."

"How about reducing the amount of the Rejuvenating Soup?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu shook his head.

What if I don't replenish it and become weak?
"I should move around a bit more and burn some calories," Chen Mu said, concentrating his mind on the jade seed.

Outside the divine aperture, there was a third layer of net-like sphere composed of silver threads and starlight, which was two-sevenths of the lower three sets of divine aperture talismans completed.

Chen Mu looked at the mist surrounding the jade.

Seven white jade pearls, three large and four small, floated in the gray mist.

With a thought, a familiar magic talisman was pulled into the jade seed.

"Giant Spirit God..."

He had previously dragged this talisman into the jade seed in order to fool Sun Chengye.

However, after using it, Chen Mu was too busy cultivating his acupoints to practice, so he put the talisman back untouched.

Sun Chengye said that this secret technique consumes a lot of resources, and the more resources invested, the stronger it becomes.

"It's time to practice this amazing method that can boost your strength and help you lose weight!"

Giant Spirit God!
The silver runes gleamed.

The magical power, mixed with the energy of blood and qi, began to undergo a qualitative change.

A dark red phantom, the size of a human head, slowly appeared in mid-air behind them.

With a thought, a dark red phantom entered his arms.

A surge of powerful energy suddenly flowed into my arm, and my skin instantly turned from red to black.

Chen Mu subconsciously raised his arm to check, and a feeling of lightness immediately washed over him.

It's like wearing an exoskeleton armor; with external assistance, swinging your arm and throwing a punch becomes effortless.

boom!
With just a slight clench of the fist, the air is squeezed and explodes with a loud bang.

“The power is increasing!” Chen Mu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

It wasn't much, but the enhancement was clearly noticeable.

Specific data is hard to measure, but since we can feel it, its effect must be significant.

"This is only the first time it's been used. If we raise the level up and use it after activating the Five Ghosts Possession, then..." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

"This secret technique and the Five Ghosts Possession Technique are a perfect match!"

He immediately began to cultivate continuously.

After performing the technique more than ten times, entries appeared on the gray wall.

Giant Spirit God: 9976/10000/Second Tier;

"Ai Ji is no good, he's only at the second tier." Chen Mu pouted.

If that guy could master the ability to sense spiritual light, this secret technique would have already advanced to the third level.

"Tsk tsk... I won't be able to get a great deal." Chen Mu shook his head.

"Should I copy the secret techniques of the remaining three now, or have them refresh them for me again?" He was undecided.

The seven men's smuggling business is booming, but unfortunately they can only operate at noon.

Because that's going to be doomed sooner or later!

If it suddenly disappears one day, wouldn't I lose three secret skill experience packs?

After careful consideration, Chen Muqiang suppressed his impulse: "Wait, wait a little longer!"

“Lu Ku, Yu Lin, and Wu Ruo have all mastered the spiritual light.”

"Delaying the harvest by one day might give you hundreds or even thousands more experience points!"
