My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 361 Seven Killings Yin Soldiers
Several days later, in the underground secret room.

Chen Mu listlessly rummaged through the contents of the wooden box.

"Is this all the value a deputy director of the inspection bureau has?"

Five spirit talismans, a bottle of antidote pills, four vital essence pills...

"Only these ten thousand or so pieces of white jade are barely acceptable," Chen Mu said, pursing his lips.

The best thing, of course, is the black iron core nail.

Unfortunately, he cut it in half with his Yin Cuo Yue Ren (a type of sword).

"In the end, it's still my twist of fate that's amazing," Chen Mu thought with a chuckle.

With a flick of his right hand, a crescent-shaped black blade and a spherical bone shield appeared in his palm.

"The Spirit Nourishing Incantation must be continued."

Its extraordinary growth potential made Chen Mu even more eager to acquire this magical artifact.

"magic weapon?"

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and denied it: "There's no way to get the jade seed by mistake."

According to the scattered information gleaned by the Scripture Transmission Academy, magical treasures are not necessarily more powerful than magical artifacts, but they can definitely be absorbed into jade seeds and have the potential for growth.

Only one of the following applies: yin cu yang cha.

"It's probably some kind of unique magical artifact." Chen Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

When we become stronger and more knowledgeable, we will eventually understand.

The contents of the wooden box were categorized and collected into the Five Ghosts Bag.

Chen Mu suddenly realized that he had more than 47,000 white jade coins in his hand.

"That's enough to buy half of the Qi Condensation Secret Technique."

He immediately felt much better.

Thinking about the two deputy governors who died at his hands, whose combined net worth was only 30,000, Chen Mu felt even better.

"I have so much money I don't know what to do with it," Chen Mu said smugly.

"This Dongling is no good. It's a desolate wilderness, without even a proper red-sleeved chamber."

"Once I've mastered the Qi Condensation Technique, I'll find a way to transfer back to the Chicken Cage Path."

"Since we've already traveled through time, of course we have to go and see this wonderful world."

……

At the foot of Eagle's Sorrow Cliff.

In the northern part of Fangshi Mountain Village, in front of Lu Butcher's meat shop.

Chen Mu looked at the tall, thin, pockmarked middle-aged man in front of him with feigned confusion.

Where is Lao Lu?

The tall, thin middle-aged man smiled and said, "Old Lu quit, so I took over his shop."

Chen Mu nodded: "Alright, give me 100 catties of pork and rabbit meat."

Then, with a casual expression, he asked, "Do you know why Lao Lu doesn't want to do it?"

The tall, thin butcher's expression changed slightly, but he then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Having made enough money, you're going back to the Jade Spring Mountain Taoist temple to cultivate, aren't you?"

Go back to Yuquan Mountain? Ha!

That fat man is now ashes!

Chen Mu glanced at the other person's expression.

I knew in my heart that the other party was lying on purpose to avoid affecting their business.

He didn't ask again.

As a regular customer, asking a casual question is normal small talk, but asking too many questions would be considered an attempt to pry.

"The six siblings of Wushan handled it very well," Chen Mu thought with satisfaction.

With the inspection bureau's attention diverted and no negative rumors circulating outside, this ordeal is temporarily over.

The new butcher was clearly more generous than Butcher Lu, and the cleaver in his hand was a magical artifact.

Although the quality wasn't high, it was very efficient at chopping meat. The meat was chopped up in no time.

"Guest, one hundred catties of pork and rabbit meat, and a total of twenty-six white jade pieces, what do you think..." the tall, thin butcher asked cautiously.

"The price has gone up?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

In the past, this pork and rabbit meat could be bought for a maximum of twelve pieces of white jade.

"It's all because of those barbarians from Dongling." The tall, thin butcher said with a bitter smile.

"Those who raise pigs and rabbits dare not leave the mountains to collect fodder, for fear that the barbarians' curses will drain their life force."

"If pigs and rabbits are not fed enough, the number of them that can reach maturity and be sold will be less, and the price will naturally skyrocket."

"The price might go up again in a few days," the tall, thin butcher complained.

"Didn't they arrest quite a few people?" Chen Mu asked in surprise, "Hasn't the situation calmed down yet?"

“Catching the person is useless.” The tall, thin butcher shook his head: “The secret arts of the Dongling barbarians are extremely evil. As long as they can capture the opponent’s aura, they can curse and kill them from a thousand miles away.”

"We have indeed caught quite a few spies, but who knows how much Qi they collected beforehand?" Is it really that terrifying?
Chen Mu's heart tightened immediately.

He hadn't paid much attention to the so-called barbarian curse killing case before.

I'd heard of this sporadic resistance back in Misty Mountain; it was unlikely to amount to anything.

According to the tall, thin butcher, one could be ambushed without even realizing it, which is quite frightening.

Chen Mu had no interest in strolling around the market. He went to Hongcaotang to buy a batch of medicinal herbs and then hurriedly returned to the wooden building on the mountainside.

……

In the evening, after repeatedly questioning the six siblings of Wushan, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The witchcraft and curse incident did not find the real culprit, but it was not as terrifying as the tall, thin butcher described.

The claim that barbarians secretly used spies to extract vital energy is a complete fabrication.

"Rumors are terrifying," Chen Mu said, pursing his lips.

It's impossible even if you think about it.

The Dongling barbarian sorcery may be truly evil, but it certainly has limitations.

If they were really that powerful, how could they have had three mountains seized by Jilongdao in succession?
Reassured, Chen Mu picked up a piece of crystal pork jelly with his chopsticks and chewed it slowly with yellow sprout rice.

In the past, he would eat a whole bowl of food in one gulp. If he wanted to chew slowly, a meal would take half an hour.

Now that he has the Rejuvenating Soup, his appetite has decreased dramatically, and he finally has the leisure to savor it slowly.

"Tsk... this sixth-level cooking skill is just so-so."

"At most, it might rank first in Yunzhou."

"hey-hey……"

……

After the meal, clean up the dishes.

Chen Mu habitually applied the Listening Technique to himself.

I was startled when Senior Brother Liu peeked through the window.

Later, he became more attentive to his surroundings, and would listen to the sounds around him every time he entered or left the secret room.

"I guess Senior Brother Liu's family has some kind of protective barrier." Chen Mu said with a hint of envy.

Once activated, the Sixth-Level Listening Technique allows you to hear sounds and noises within a 500-meter radius.

But Liu Hongyang's house was always quiet and without any sound.

"That's good, then we don't have to worry about hearing anything we shouldn't hear."

He doesn't have that eavesdropping habit.

"Next time we meet, I'll have to ask Senior Brother Liu about the restrictions." Chen Mu's heart stirred slightly.

He earned a lot of Taoist merit through alchemy.

There's no rush to exchange for the Condensing Aperture Technique, nor is there a need to buy the Nourishing Essence Pill. It's a good time to learn some restriction techniques.

"The underground chamber is just a cave, it's not quite there yet."

"The Linglong Dojo also needs to find a way to upgrade."

"Restrictions are a good thing."

……

After confirming that no one was around, Chen Mu entered the bedroom and jumped into the underground secret room through a hole hidden in the wardrobe.

I was planning to continue condensing my energy, but when I looked up, I saw an unexpected entry on the gray wall.

Heart-to-Heart Mantra: The Limit;

During this period, I repeatedly activated the Heart-to-Heart Mantra, and unexpectedly, I pushed this unexpected spell to its maximum level.

"Seven Killings Yin Soldiers? What the hell?"

Chen Mu stared curiously at the new entry.

A variety of complex thoughts slowly surfaced in my mind.

After a long while, Chen Mu came back to his senses with a look of surprise.

"The Thousand Mountains Classic is truly terrifying!"

When the Heart-to-Heart Curse reached its limit, the Seven Sons Heart-to-Heart Gu spell finally revealed its true form.

Based on the insights gained, the Seven Killings Yin Soldiers Secret Technique can be activated to retrieve the Heart-to-Heart Gu.

Along with it, the essence, energy, and spirit of the one who planted the Gu were also drawn back.

Then, the Heart-Connecting Gu is injected into the bodies of the seven Yin Soul Monsters, thereby creating a unique type of Daoist soldier—the Yin Soldier!
Yin soldiers are soldiers under the command of the King of the Underworld.

In folk legends, the so-called ghost soldiers are called ghosts.

"Send someone to possess a vengeful spirit?"

"Turning living people into ghosts?"

"hiss……"
