My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 388 News
Two days later.

On the western slope of the misty mountain, at the entrance of the wooden building and the red-lacquered pavilion.

Chen Mu huddled in the rocking chair, gazing absently at the horizon.

The fire magic of Liyang Dao is powerful; even after two days, black smoke is still rising from many places in the mountains.

Just as I was wondering when this chaos would end, a figure nimbly emerged from the dense forest, and a shiny bald head came into view.

Jia Tian?

Chen Mu's lips curled up.

It seems that the little bald guy has successfully escaped this calamity.

"I knew my senior brother was blessed with good fortune and would be alright!" Jia Tian leaned closer, his face full of surprise.

"I'm lucky to have survived." Chen Mu smiled and gestured for Jia Tian to sit down on the bamboo chair next to him.

"Sigh, why has things been so chaotic these past two years?" Jia Tian sighed.

Chen Mu sighed as well: "Yes, none of them are cultivating properly and are just messing around."

In the few years since he came to Yunzhou, he has been constantly on the run, and has hardly had a peaceful year.

Unfortunately, human nature is unpredictable, and the world is ever-changing; things can never always go as he wishes.

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Chen Mu then inquired about the situation on the mountain.

"There's not much movement." Jia Tian thought for a moment and shook his head: "I guess the fighting isn't over yet. It's alright up on the mountain, but I heard it's still chaotic down below."

He then added gloatingly, "This time, the Sun family is completely finished."

Sun Jian's plot was exposed, and he was implicated?

That Sun Jian...

Chen Mu feigned ignorance, subtly probing, "The Sun family patriarch is so powerful, how could he be finished?"

"Hey! Who told Old Ghost Sun to collude with Li Yang Dao?" Jia Tian chuckled.

"The old man was beheaded by Qingdu Academy of the Scripture Transmission Pavilion. With his backer gone, retribution has come." Jia Tian chuckled.

Sun Jian is dead?

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat: "The Sun family patriarch's thunder magic was so powerful, how could he have died so easily?"

"Is that a lie?" Jia Tian said with certainty, "It was near Jilei Mountain. One of my men saw it with his own eyes."

"They say the blizzard was like a rain of swords, turning Old Man Sun into mincemeat!"

Chen Mu was stunned.

Is this for real?!
what!
Keidoin is awesome!
……

After some subtle questioning and rambling, Chen Mu finally confirmed that the Sun family was truly finished this time.

At least the Sun family on Misty Mountain is finished.

The direct descendants either died or fled, leaving only some distant relatives, but they were all detained and guarded by the Inspectorate.

"so good."

A huge weight that had been pressing on his heart was finally lifted.

"Don't rush off, let's have a meal together later." Chen Mu said with a smile to Jia Tian.

Unfortunately, this is a wild mountain in the eastern ridge, and there's nowhere to listen to music. I wonder if the upper courtyard would be any better.

"Looks like I'm in for a feast today," Jia Tian said with a beaming smile.

Seeing that Chen Mu was in a good mood, Jia Tian's eyes darted around, and he cautiously asked, "Senior brother, I wonder about that batch of Hundred Miasma Pills..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu glanced sideways and said, "I was wondering how you had the time to come here amidst all this chaos and war."

"So, you, young prince, didn't come to see me, but were concerned about your batch of Hundred Miasma Pills?"

He was quite touched when he saw this guy running over excitedly.

Jia Tian was heartbroken: "How could you look at me like that, Senior Brother?"

Chen Mu rolled his eyes and with a wave of his hand, a wooden box appeared out of thin air.

"Some poisonous miasma was wasted; this time, only a little over three hundred pills were successfully refined."

There was no way to refine more; the poisonous miasma had already been used up in the underground cave, and even the energy-gathering gourd had been destroyed by the Yin lightning.

Jia Tian immediately stopped feeling wronged and happily hugged the wooden box to his chest.

He also launched into a string of free praise.

As she was speaking, she suddenly became hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mu asked curiously.

“Senior brother, you don’t know this.” Jia Tian said with a pained expression, “Those bastards from Liyangdao not only robbed my business, but also burned down my shop.”

"So?" Chen Mu stared at him sideways with droopy eyelids.

"Hehe, look at the payment for this goods..."

"Want to wait a couple more days?" Chen Mu rolled her eyes. So you're not just after the Hundred Miasma Pill, you don't even want to pay for it?

"Get out of here!"

"Thank you, senior brother!" Jia Tian chuckled, picked up the box and ran, shouting as he ran, "Don't worry, senior brother, I'll repay you double in half a month at most, once I have enough money."

Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

It seems this chubby kid suffered quite a loss.

"You should thank Sun Jian."

"If it weren't for bringing news of that old scoundrel Sun's death, would you, a cunning merchant, still want to buy on credit? Ha!"

Huh?
Sun Jian is dead, the Sun family is finished, wouldn't that gourd sword box belong entirely to me?

Haha!

……

Three days later.

A small valley on the east side of Wuyan Mountain.

The valley is shrouded in mist, and mountain streams flow gently.

At a certain moment, a beam of pure white light suddenly broke through the clouds and landed with a bang, splashing pebbles along the stream.

"Rainbow light leaps across the earth, entering and exiting the azure sky—this is the true style of a Qi cultivator!" Chen Mu said with a broad smile.

"Although the Five Ghosts Netherflame Escape Technique is fast, the howling and wailing of ghosts is too improper."

"It's decided. From now on, I'll use... well, I'll use the Flying Kite for flying."

He was just a minor cultivator who could sense and condense primordial symbols, so he dared not flaunt his rainbow light across the land.

Chen Mu brought up the gray wall and looked at one of the columns.

Yellow Springs General Outline: 82/10000/Sixth Rank;

The fifth stage of the general outline has finally been completed. It is precisely because of this advancement that the rainbow light from the earth was able to fly into the sky.

At this moment, within the jade seed, five layers of hollowed-out spherical divine aperture talismans are nested one inside the other.

As it rotated erratically, wisps of magical power drifted out, quickly filling the jade seed that had expanded again.

"Hmm, my physique can be slightly improved? The General Principles for Strengthening the Body and the Secret Acupoints for Transformation are two different things?" Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"Then let's try the Five Ghosts Possession technique."

With a thought, billowing black smoke entered his body, and his body rapidly rose higher.

In the blink of an eye, a five-meter-tall, imposing figure appeared within the mist.

Black smoke swirled around him, transforming into black and red ribbons that slithered around him like fire snakes, subtly distorting the air wherever they passed.

Feeling the devouring and destructive desires surging through his consciousness, Chen Mu slowly dispelled the possession by the five ghosts.

"The power has increased, but the side effects have decreased."

"Was it struck by lightning?"

He stared at the entry for the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse on the gray wall.

A vague understanding lingered in my mind.

"The lightning strike caused some inexplicable changes, making me even more susceptible to possession by the Five Ghosts?"

"Can lightning strikes really aid in possession by the Five Ghosts?"

"This...this has gone off track."

"The art style I want is one of ethereal beauty, like a fairy dressed in white."

"How come we're going further and further astray on these sinister and secret techniques?"

Chen Mu reluctantly examined the gray wall.

However, he discovered that although he had learned many secret techniques, none of them were as powerful as the Five Ghosts Possession Technique.

So you're saying it's irreplaceable? Tsk!

"The Sun family is finished. I wonder if that Kui Shui Yin Lei has entered the Scripture Transmission Academy." Although he wished he could kill Sun Jian with his own hands, Chen Mu was genuinely envious of his thunder technique.

"Once we get to the upper courtyard of Chicken Cage Road, we must take the time to check it out."

"Right now, let's take that treasure out first."

Chen Mu activated the Listening Technique, and all sounds and disturbances within a ten-mile radius entered his ears.

Then, as if he had stepped into thin air, he suddenly plummeted to the ground and disappeared.

When it reappeared, a red gourd about the height of a forearm was floating beside it.

He didn't bother to examine it closely, and instead put it into his Five Ghosts Bag. He then unleashed a burst of light and sprang towards the horizon.

"The chaos in Misty Mountain has largely subsided, and it's time to send a distress signal to those people in the underground caves, since they've been paid to save their lives."
