My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 391 Victory
half a month later.

At the entrance of Danlu, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, holding the sword box gourd in his hands, his attention completely drawn to the changes inside the gourd.

In my magical perception, the various materials have been fused together by the sword box into a new substance.

These new materials are transformed into tiny particles invisible to the naked eye, which are stacked little by little according to a certain predetermined structure.

Like a living thing, it slowly grew into a palm-sized, flat, date-shaped, thin blade.

Its surface is crimson red with some feather-like patterns.

Chen Mu looked on in surprise: "No wonder it's called Zhu Yu, the magic sword looks just like a peculiar vermilion feather."

Those special structures contain intricate and profound magical symbols. It is these symbols that give magical artifacts their mysterious and supernatural powers, such as flight and armor penetration.

In comparison, the wooden spirit he had previously crafted was as crude as a small toy.

The gourd-shaped sword box, which can fix and automatically execute the flying sword forging process, is all the more precious.

"The Sun family are all good people."

Chen Mu watched the flying sword being refined with a smile.

"In another two or three days, it should be fully formed."

It wouldn't have been that fast originally, but thanks to the profound power of the Yellow Springs General Principles and his enjoyment of the process, he constantly held the gourd and refined it, so the magic sword naturally took shape very quickly.

"I need to quickly accumulate experience with the Qingfu Mother-Child Spell," Chen Mu secretly calculated.

Just as he was pondering the cultivation of incantations, a familiar humming sound came from the sky, and the enormous cloud bat flying boat reappeared. More than a dozen kites flew out from it and landed on Misty Cloud Mountain.

"Finished?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

"It's been almost two months, and this dispute should be over by now."

……

Yanxiafang.

The deserted streets have become lively again.

Inside a shop, a shopkeeper with a goatee was examining a thick-backed broadsword, seemingly oblivious to the few traces of dark brown blood that hadn't been wiped clean from the gleaming blade.

"Why are there so few people coming back? Are there many casualties?" he asked the dark-skinned man in front of the counter while tapping the blade with his fingers to identify the material.

"How could casualties not be heavy in a war that wipes out a faction? My arm was almost cut off." The dark-faced man raised his left arm, which was wrapped in gray cloth and hung on his chest, and sighed with lingering fear.

"However, the reason why fewer people are returning is mainly because many people choose to stay in Liyangdao."

“We’ve acquired a lot of new territory in Keelung Road, and we need manpower to suppress and guard it. If it weren’t for my family being here, I might have stayed there too.”

"The pay offered by the institute is so high it's tempting." The dark-faced man said eagerly, "Once my family is settled, I'll go to the General Affairs Office to ask if I can still go to the Liyang Villa."

"You just finished the treatment, aren't you worried about potential problems?" Goat Beard asked in surprise.

"Our Lord of Dongli displayed his divine power, freezing Lord Li of Liyang Dao into a block of ice and placing him on the summit of Liyang Dao Mountain."

"Those disciples and elders of the Li Yang Dao sect are either dead or have fled. What hidden dangers could there be?"

As Chen Mu strolled along the streets of Yanxiafang, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "You defeated the White Pagoda True Man who could transform into a dragon before, and this time you've frozen the Lord of Liyang Dao into a specimen for exhibition."

"The Daoist Master of Dongli is actually this powerful?!"

Chen Mu thought about it for a long time but still couldn't come up with a concrete idea.

He himself is still in the process of condensing his spiritual aperture. After that, he will need to refine his spiritual aperture before he can begin cultivating his Dao foundation.

There's a difference of two levels; no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to figure it out.

"But it's good that we won."

"We've won. Keelung Road is now a more reliable and safer mountain."

Chen Mu was in a good mood and continued to stroll around Yanxiafang.

Relying on the method of listening attentively, one can obtain relevant information about the battle between the two paths by straining one's ears.

"The battle is over, and the five mountains of Dongling will no longer be blocked."

"But is it still necessary to go to the Upper House now?" Chen Mu asked hesitantly.

Sun Jian is dead, and the Sun family has been purged. Staying in Wuyan Mountain is no longer dangerous.

"I need to go to the General Affairs Office to inquire and see if I can get rid of that alchemy job."

……

evening.

Chen Mu walked out of the General Affairs Office with a sense of helplessness.

Unsurprisingly, the result was not ideal; he had to go to the Upper Court. Moreover, the Upper Court had been attacked and damaged by the Li Yang Dao, leaving it short-handed. Everyone who had taken on administrative duties in the Upper Court, including himself, had to go to their posts as soon as possible.

If it weren't for the Cloud Bat Flying Boat needing to transport people to the new territory, they would have had to set off for the Upper House in the next few days.

"If only I had known..."

"It's a pity I didn't know sooner." Chen Mu sighed with some annoyance.

Without the threat from the Sun family, he was somewhat reluctant to leave Dongling.

The right choice made back then doesn't seem so appealing today.

"We need to pack our things and get ready as soon as possible," Chen Mu said helplessly.

"Well, with the Eastern Fence Daoist Master overseeing things in the Upper Courtyard, it's at least safer than the Eastern Ridge area." That was the only way he could console himself.

Of the seven Daoist sects in Yunzhou, two Daoist masters died at the hands of the Daoist Master of Dongli, so it's highly likely that no one will dare to provoke them again.

"It's just a change of scenery to continue my home-based cultivation."

"Besides, the Upper Courtyard is the core of Chicken Coop Road, so we can take this opportunity to experience it."

……

Sixiang Mountain.

A secluded courtyard on the road to Yang.

A group of five or six disciples of the Li Yang Dao were fleeing in disarray through the dense forest. Unexpectedly, when they looked up, they saw a ghastly green blade of energy rushing towards them.

The rolling blades of energy transformed into a net, trapping several people overhead, and they were instantly hacked to pieces.

Xu Rao, dressed in a black cloak, emerged from the dense forest and stood expressionless beside the corpse with drooping eyelids.

Before long, the leaves rustled, and the figures of Lu Ku and the others appeared one by one.

"Is this the last batch?" Ai Ji stood in the pile of corpses, picking through them with a look of disgust.

“There’s no one around for ten miles.” Shi Xian put away his Listening Technique, his expression blank.

"Finally, I don't have to deal with these disgusting things anymore." Ai Ji laughed happily, swinging his scarlet hands.

“If you don’t deal with corpses, you’ll have to deal with Gongsun Sheng.” Shi Xian’s expression remained blank.

Ai Ji was suddenly speechless, like a duck with its neck caught in its throat.

"Are you scared?" Shi Xian quietly walked up behind him and spoke softly.

Ai Ji shuddered in fright, and retorted defiantly, "I am a Qi cultivator who has broken through illusions and condensed Yuan Talismans! I am protected by spiritual light and divine protection, why would I be afraid of him?"

Xu Rao: "Heh..."

Wu Ruo: "Hehe..."

Ai Ji: "..."

"It's time to make a decision," Yu Lin said gently, watching the group arguing. Then he turned to Lu Ku and said seriously.

“We had no choice,” Lu Ku said calmly.

“Now that all six of us have gathered our Yuan Talismans, if we all act together…” Xu Rao’s narrowed eyes were filled with malice.

"Let me ask you a question." Lu Ku looked at Xu Rao: "How long did it take you to cultivate the Three Yin Demon Slaying Technique to its current level?"

How long did it take Gongsun Sheng?

Xu Rao's face darkened.

"What about the Listening Method?" Lu Ku looked at Shi Xian again.

"I can't master the ability to hear from all directions and hear from ten miles away on my own," Shi Xian said honestly.

"He's so proficient in secret cultivation techniques, what level do you think he's reached in mastering the Heart-to-Heart Mantra?" Lu Ku sighed helplessly.

"If we strike before he activates the Heart-to-Heart Mantra, we'll have a chance to turn the tables."

"But this opportunity is too short-lived."

"Even though he summoned us, he doesn't necessarily intend to harm us, right?" Ai Ji grinned and scratched his head. "The way he's treated us these past few years, it always feels like... well, he's avoiding us like the plague?"

“But what if it’s because he thinks we’re too weak?” Xu Rao said with a gloomy face. “We’ve just condensed our Yuan Talismans, and he’s summoned us to meet. Maybe he’s going to use some evil method to steal our magical power and cultivation.”

The group of people paused for a moment. The Seven Sons United Gu originated from the Thousand Mountains Scripture, and it has always been labeled as a heretical and evil sect.

“If that’s the case, I’ll try my best to take him down with me.” Lu Ku said calmly, “You guys can only pray for your own good fortune.”

Everyone fell silent.
