Chapter 362 Restriction
"It can gather and disperse, become invisible, fly, and even conjure terrifying attacks."

"What ghosts can do, ghost soldiers can do too; what ghosts can't do, ghost soldiers can do as well."

"Most importantly, it can prolong life!"

This is very magical.

According to the secret technique, once one transforms into a ghost soldier, one can easily live for over two hundred years!
Human life has its limits, so why not just stop being human?
Hey!
Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled.

It's a pity that even the most vengeful spirits cannot attain sainthood.

The number of Yin soldiers is almost fixed at its maximum, making promotion extremely difficult.

But what about those who are stuck at the checkpoint and suffering?

"Fortunately, this secret technique was not written into the Thousand Mountains Scripture, otherwise it would definitely cause trouble."

Chen Mu estimated that, apart from him, probably only the original creator knew the Seven Killings Yin Soldier Secret Technique.
"After all, looking at all the previous practitioners of the Seven Sons Heart-to-Heart Gu, I doubt there's another person as diligent and hardworking as me who has mastered the Heart-to-Heart Mantra to its peak," Chen Mu thought with a face full of satisfaction.

The secret method also reveals that as long as one has the "Heart-Binding Rope" or more accurately, the "Ghost-Binding Rope," one can continuously split the Heart-Binding Gu and create countless Yin soldiers.

"Why did the creator of that secret technique create so many ghost soldiers?"

"Want to be the King of Hell?"

"Ah……"

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, we were deep in winter.

The snowflakes that initially drifted only on the mountaintop have now covered the entire mountain.

As far as the eye can see, everything is covered in silver and white.

Chen Mu, who already preferred staying at home, became even less inclined to go out.

Every time I go to the market to buy things, I buy three black sheep with deer antlers or pigs and rabbits, hang them outside the window to freeze in the cold wind, enough to last for half a month.

Two months passed in a flash.

Chen Mu failed to master the third set of talismans in the Yellow Springs General Principles, but successfully deciphered the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

"Thirteen kinds of refined magic talismans and one Hunyuan Condensation Elixir Magic Talisman, which took more than thirteen months to complete."

"not bad!"

"It's a pity we can't take it out openly."

After all, it was deciphered through reverse engineering using pharmaceutical techniques, so its origin is unexplained.

Chen Mu glanced at the extracted medicinal essence inside the wooden box, and the information about the Peiyuan Pill swirled in his mind: "It's not that difficult, I really don't know why it's so expensive."

He immediately took out the three-legged, two-eared Hunyuan Furnace.

Clean the alchemy furnace, add the ingredients one by one, and recite the Wind and Fire Pivot Mantra.

Chen Mu held the alchemy furnace with both hands, adjusting it with meticulous precision.

Half an hour later.

With a soft bang, the alchemy furnace was opened.

A burnt smell assaulted my nostrils.

A furnace full of nearly a hundred pieces of fine white jade was completely ruined.

"That's really expensive!"

The key issue is that the gray wall wasn't even listed yet.

"That shouldn't be the case." Chen Mu peered into the furnace through the opening.

As I twitched my nostrils, besides the smell of burning, there seemed to be a hint of meaty smell as well!
Did you stew too much meat and let it marinate too much?

illusion!

It must be an illusion!

Chen Mu snapped the lid of the alchemy furnace shut and put it away.

"I had bad luck today, next time, next time..."

Since he had the Rejuvenating Soup, he wasn't in a hurry to take the Nourishing Essence Pill.

……

After that, Chen Mu stayed at home and practiced diligently.

He would occasionally recite a few spirit-nourishing incantations and sometimes open two furnaces of Qi-cultivating pills.

Then it's all about figuring out different ways to prepare meals.

They paid no heed to the wind and snow outside.

That day, snowflakes began to fall outside the window again.

Chen Mu's ears twitched slightly as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching slowly.

"It seems you really like this spicy soup, Senior Brother Liu." Chen Mu looked at Liu Hongyang outside the door with a pig or rabbit leg in surprise.

"Junior brother, you can't hide your talents," Liu Hongyang said with a smile.

Hey!
"Senior brother, just watch closely." Chen Mu cheerfully welcomed the person into the house.

After a while, eight dishes, including four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, and a soup, such as lion's head meatballs, crystal pork jelly, and garlic ribs, filled the square table.

Liu Hongyang pointed to the full pot of spicy soup, his face full of complicated emotions: "Junior brother, is this appropriate?"

Chen Mu smiled and served Liu Hongyang a bowl of soup: "If you feel it's inappropriate, senior brother, please tell me about the restrictions."

"Waiting for me here?" Liu Hongyang shook his head and chuckled.

"Senior brother, you can't hide your talents."

Ah!
"Then I'll tell my junior brother what to do," Liu Hongyang said cheerfully.

"Does Junior Brother know how to make talismans?" Liu Hongyang asked.

"I heard it requires sealing techniques and special leather and jade talismans," Chen Mu said.

Liu Hongyang nodded: "The restrictions are similar; they also require legal prohibitions and magical artifacts to support them."

"But it's more difficult."

"Take the Lesser Celestial Stars Law and Restrictions, which are most widely circulated in Yunzhou, as an example."

"Even the simplest Three Powers Restriction consists of eighteen talismans."

Chen Mu was immediately speechless. The Qi Cultivation Pill only contained thirteen kinds of refined magic talismans, yet a basic Three Talents Magic Restriction required eighteen of them?
"You're scared already?" Liu Hongyang chuckled. "Then all the Lesser Heavenly Stars and Restrictions have a total of one hundred and eight magic talismans."

This……

Isn't this too difficult?

Chen Mu couldn't help but look at Liu Hongyang.

Is learning this stuff really useful?
Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it also doesn't seem to offer much financial benefit.

Without white jade to buy secret techniques and resources, how can one cultivate?

"So our main business is making talismans and artifacts," Liu Hongyang shrugged.

He then curled his lip and said, "Only cultivators at the Qi Condensation stage and those from high-ranking families can afford to play with those kinds of restrictions."

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

But wait, that's not right.

He subtly pricked up his ears. But Liu Hongyang's house remained completely silent. Even if no one was home, surely there would be some noise coming from the stove?
"Senior brother doesn't know any restrictions?"

"I don't know how," Liu Hongyang said with an honest expression.

Ah……

Just assume you don't know how.

Chen Mu chuckled inwardly.

This senior brother Liu looks honest, but he knows how to hide his talents.

"Junior brother is interested in restrictions?" Liu Hongyang asked curiously.

"The mountain is in a state of panic because of the barbarian's secret techniques. I just wanted to put a protective barrier around the house," Chen Mu said casually.

"Junior brother, it's best to stay home as much as possible. Once your energy is extracted, ordinary restrictions won't be able to prevent the curse-killing secret technique," Liu Hongyang shook his head.

"I'm not afraid." Chen Mu waved his hand calmly. "I don't go out much anyway. How could they possibly break into my house?"

"It's good to stay home; it's safer to stay home," Liu Hongyang agreed.

He immediately looked on with envy: "You alchemists have a stable income and don't have to travel around."

“If you want to learn, I’ll teach you,” Chen Mu said cheerfully.

"I almost forgot you're a Doctor of Scripture Transmission." Liu Hongyang was even more envious: "Junior brother, you are truly gifted."

"It's diligence, mainly because I'm quite diligent," Chen Mu corrected earnestly.

“Heh…” Liu Hongyang squinted.

Guess whether I believe it or not.

……

After seeing Liu Hongyang off, amidst billowing black smoke, the messy cups and plates on the table instantly became spotless.

The method of listening carefully confirmed that there was no movement around.

Chen Mu returned to his bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and prepared to go to the underground secret room.

"I chatted all night and it even delayed my progress in gaining experience."

Fortunately, it wasn't all for naught.

"When you have time, go and exchange for the Lesser Heavenly Stars and Restrictions."

With the help of the gray wall, you can grind experience in your spare time, and its wonders will naturally become apparent.

At that time, the secret chamber can be improved, the dojo upgraded, and security greatly increased.

"No rush, let's finish today's Qi Condensation experience first."

Thinking this, Chen Mu closed the wooden door of the wardrobe and jumped into the secret passage.

His body shimmered with spiritual light, and he was pulled by rainbow light as he slowly descended along the sloping, downward-facing dark passage.

But not long after, he realized something was wrong.

"A passageway of more than twenty meters, it can't be that long, can it?"

He subconsciously looked up, and there was only darkness above, seemingly infinitely high.

Looking down again, it was pitch black, like a bottomless pit.

Chen Mu immediately tensed up.

The starlight around him spun rapidly, instantly merging into one.

The rainbow light on the ground is fully revealed, greatly increasing the pulling force.

Chen Mu kicked off the inner wall of the circular tunnel, which was two meters in diameter, and shot straight up like an arrow.

Even after soaring for a quarter of an hour, the top of my head remained pitch black.

Barbarian sorcery?

Done!

Chen Mu wanted to slap himself.

They were just confidently saying they weren't afraid of barbarian attacks, and here they are!
Don't panic!
Chen Mu quickly calmed down.

Having cultivated for so long and faced numerous crises, he is no longer the weak scholar he once was.

He continued to float slowly upwards, carefully examining the smooth inner wall with the help of the spiritual light surrounding him.

Then a fist-sized crater suddenly came into view.

Chen Mu's hair almost stood on end.

That was clearly the hole he kicked out when he jumped up.

Before this, he had been floating upwards, but now he has returned to the starting point!
At some point, the originally 20-meter-long secret passage seemed to have become a vicious cycle of interconnected passages that kept repeating endlessly!

Moreover, the rocks inside the pit are still growing little by little.

Before long, it returned to normal right under his nose.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the secret passage, which was originally more than two meters in diameter, had shrunk to about 1.78 meters!
Unable to escape, and the passageway keeps shrinking...

"Are they going to bury me right here?!"
