My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 369 Third Floor
early morning.

South of Yuquan Mountain.

Inside the cave dwelling of Danbao Pavilion, Chen Mu opened his eyes and woke up.

I was full of energy, but I was too lazy to get up.

I drew back the curtains, leaned against the headboard, and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

As soon as the sun rose, everyone on Yuquan Mountain was already busy.

Inside the General Affairs Office below, people were constantly coming and going.

One by one, handsome men and beautiful women, riding on flying kites, soared into the horizon and quickly became tiny black dots.

Even though it wasn't the first time he'd seen it, Chen Mu still found the sight strange.

He had been in Yunzhou for five or six years, but had always spent his time loitering in the lower courtyard.

All I saw were low-level disciples, busy farming and hunting all day to earn white jade money. They all looked hurried and disheveled.

They weren't even as dashing as the martial artists of the Great Liang who moved with such agility.

"They are indeed senior brothers and sisters from the Upper Academy, exuding an aura of immortality," Chen Mu exclaimed.

Although Eagle's Sorrow Cliff was destroyed, the other five mountains, including Jade Spring Mountain, have all been occupied by the villa.

The villa is expanding and urgently needs manpower.

The senior brothers and sisters from the upper courtyard of Chicken Cage Road immediately flocked over.

Just then, a handsome young man in a black robe with wide sleeves flew by in the distance, riding a kite.

Her robes fluttered, her black hair flew, and she looked like a fairy, making Chen Mu look on with envy.

"This is how a Qi cultivator should be!"

This is the image that a high-ranking Taoist practitioner should have!
What's with this "possessed by five ghosts" thing? He's a burly, muscular guy who keeps ripping off his clothes. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was some kind of heretic!

"I need to solidify my acupoints quickly," Chen Mu thought to himself.

At that time, flying will be accompanied by rainbow light, and actions will be fraught with unexpected twists and turns. I will also learn two more magical arts from the immortals.

Once you're fighting someone, you can take them down instantly without even lifting a finger, how cool is that!
Chen Mu was so excited that he threw off the thin blanket and jumped out of bed.

After a quick breakfast, he eagerly went into the underground chamber to cultivate.

……

Five days later.

In the underground secret room.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the soft couch.

From the incense burner on the low table next to it, wisps of smoke rose in a straight line.

Suddenly, a soft popping sound came from Chen Mu's body.

Two silver lines flowed between his eyebrows, and a fist-sized secret space suddenly appeared three fingers below his navel.

An invisible aura suddenly erupted from him.

The straight plume of smoke was immediately bent over by the force of the blow.

Chen Mu looked at the gray wall in front of him.

Yellow Springs General Outline: 3/10000/Fourth Order;

"It's done!"

With a thought, the three nested hollow silver spheres inside the jade immediately began to spin rapidly.

He was immediately enveloped by a white jade sphere of light.

Without much effort, he soared three meters into the air.

"After practicing two more levels, this 'Rainbow Light Across the Earth' technique will be truly complete."

Possessed by five ghosts!

While suspended in mid-air, Chen Mu's body swelled up like an inflating balloon.

In an instant, he transformed into a muscular man, five meters tall.

His skin was indigo, his eyes were blood red, and a silver light shimmered between his brows.

The black smoke that had been swirling around them had now turned a mixture of black and red, resembling lava that had just erupted from a mountain crater. The air inside the sealed chamber was scorched and dried out.

Make a fist with your right hand.

The air suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

The temperature of the black smoke increases, and its overall power increases.

The most amazing thing is that its height remains at five meters, and it hasn't continued to grow.

"Not bad." Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

The jade seed expanded again, its magical power continued to increase, and it showed a faint tendency to condense into water.

While he was happy, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Old Ghost Sun and he practiced the same Qi Condensation Technique.

With his own magical power increasing, how could Old Ghost Sun's magical power decrease?

Thinking of the opponent's sharp lightning technique, Chen Mu quickly took out Yin Cuo Yang Cha and recited the Spirit Nourishing Incantation twice to calm his nerves.

"I'll leave Yuquan Mountain after some time."

The situation in Dongling is now clear. Keelung Road has firmly established itself.

The other hilltops are mostly safe.

He has no shortage of secret techniques or money; what he lacks is a stable environment and time for cultivation.

Staying at Yuquan Mountain always weighed heavily on his mind.

"The question is which mountain to go to; we still need to think about it carefully."

……

a few days later.

Outside Chen Mudong Mansion.

Next to the bald-headed Jia Tian was a bamboo basket as tall as a person, containing a cleaned and peeled pig-rabbit.

He said with a fawning expression, "Senior brother, Yuquanfang charges twelve white jade coins for one hundred catties of pork and rabbit meat, but I only need ten."

"It's so cheap, why don't you buy another one?"

"Senior brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Chen Mu glanced at the other person sideways.

"Fuck off!"

Eating so much, do you think I'm a pig or a rabbit?
This one in front of me is enough to feed me for three or four days.

“Every extra day these pigs and rabbits stay in the pen, I have to waste more money on jade.” Jia Tian pleaded, “Senior brother, you have to help me.”

Chen Mu rolled his eyes.

"It costs you money to keep them, but it also costs me money if they spoil and go bad because I can't finish them."

Upon hearing this, Jia Tian hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "If you buy one more, I'll give you two small frost-freezing talismans. They can freeze the meat and ensure it doesn't spoil."

A small frost-reducing talisman? A talisman that can freeze and preserve food?
"You're really that generous?" Chen Mu asked with a suspicious look.

Lowering prices to clear inventory is understandable, but now they're adding two talismans to the mix?
"If it gets stuck in your hands, you'll lose even more money." Jia Tian smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, the Frost-Calming Talismans aren't expensive. Two of them are only worth one white jade coin. It's okay to lose a little."

"The longer those strange beasts stay in their enclosures, the more I lose."

"Sending out some small frost-reducing talismans will actually reduce my losses."

Chen Mu understood.

This can be considered an immediate stop-loss.

If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?

"Alright," Chen Mu nodded.

Anyway, he consumes over a hundred kilograms of meat every day to make the Rejuvenating Soup.

Buying from Jia Tian can save you a few coins of white jade.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Jia Tian grinned, revealing his back teeth.

After seeing Jia Tian off, Chen Mu stared blankly at a palm-sized brown leather talisman.

"I wonder if this stuff can help preserve the Rejuvenating Soup."

He was still not proficient in the method of practicing Peiyuan Dan.

Huiyuan Tang remains the mainstay for replenishing vital energy.

……

Three days later, Chen Mu carefully controlled a wisp of black smoke from the spirit armor to drill into the brown wooden cup.

The body opened up a third secret passage.

Not only has the range of air restriction increased from 100 li to 30 meters, but the scorching heat of the black smoke from the spirit armor has also been greatly enhanced, and its control has become more flexible and precise.

Within two breaths, steam was rising from the cup, yet the wooden cup itself remained completely undamaged.

Chen Mu swallowed a large mouthful of the Rejuvenating Soup with great anticipation.

But soon, the expression on his face turned to disappointment.

"I underestimated Huiyuan Tang after all."

The soup hasn't spoiled, but its ability to replenish vital energy has disappeared.

"That's to be expected," Chen Mu shrugged.

If something that can attract ghost soldiers can have its shelf life easily extended by freezing, that's too simple.

"However, since I can't store the Rejuvenation Soup, I can still freeze some meat to store," Chen Mu thought to himself with a smile, holding the small Frost-Reducing Talisman.

Back in Eagle's Sorrow Cliff, meat prices nearly tripled, and he wasted a lot of money at that time.

Now that we have the Frost-Reducing Charm, we can stock up on a large quantity.

Even if he encounters a shortage of supplies when he goes to other mountains, he will not lack time to return to Yuan Tang for cultivation.

"It seems that the bald guy has accumulated quite a few exotic beasts."

"Every day we hold on, we lose a lot of money."

"What was the price again? Forget it, I won't argue with him. I'll take the loss and give him nine pieces of white jade for every hundred catties of meat."

"We've known each other for a while, I have to help him out."

"Ha ha!"
