My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 395 Reunion

Outside the small building on Chaoyang Mountain.

The Zhu Yu magic sword danced nimbly in the open space in front of the building, like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair, directing the magic sword while pondering how to make money.

He had quite a few medicinal herbs and ores on hand, but unfortunately, they were all obtained by looting corpses. Selling a small amount was fine, but selling a large quantity was not so safe.

Refining fasting pills is a good job; one can earn four or five hundred white jades per month.

However, both activating the exquisite jade plate and refining the Rejuvenation Soup require white jade coins. The proceeds from alchemy are barely enough to sustain daily cultivation.

The problem is that Jilong Mountain is currently undergoing a major relocation, and the essence of the five grains has been sent to Yuquan Mountain.

He can only wait until the spiritual fields of Jilong Mountain are transformed and yellow sprout rice is grown before he will have the raw materials to refine pills.

"If I had known, I would have just bought Kui Shui Yin Lei."

"The Yellow Springs General Principles Secret Technique is just a facade; there's no need to buy it so early."

He had saved up a lot of white jade, but due to relocation, daily cultivation, and the high cost of exchanging secret techniques, his savings were gradually depleted.

hum!
A buzzing sound rang out, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge cloud bat flying boat slowly took off from the foot of Chaoyang Mountain.

Chen Mu glanced at it casually, his expression unchanged.

Recently, a large-scale relocation has begun at Jilong Mountain, and cloud-bat flying boats have been frequently seen.

Many residents have moved away from Chaoyang Mountain, leaving many empty buildings and courtyards in the mountain.

Previously, he had to carefully dodge the flying Zhu Yu magic sword. Now, however, he flies all over the mountains, yet he sees hardly a soul in sight.

Chen Mu's heart suddenly stirred.

"Dongling is most famous for its poisonous insects and miasma."

"With so many people relocating at once, wouldn't the elixirs and talismans for warding off poison become very valuable?"

Chen Mu felt a surge of excitement.

Amidst billowing black smoke, a jet-black, gleaming gourd appeared before him.

Chen Mu reached out and picked the unassuming gourd, playing with it with it with great affection.

Back in the underground cave, he easily overwhelmed his fellow inmates with poisonous miasma.

From then on, this local specialty of Dongling became an essential item on Chen Mu's list of must-haves for home and travel.

Once the chaos in Misty Mountain subsided, he immediately went and bought ten gourds of poisonous miasma essence, carrying them with him at all times.

"As long as I can buy more of the Earth Spirit Rhinoceros Horn..." Chen Mu clenched his fist.

……

In front of Chaoyang Mountain, there is a vast open space, as large as a large stadium in my previous life.

The open space was paved with bluestone slabs, and two huge cloud bat flying boats were parked side by side in the middle.

The surrounding area is filled with buildings.

This is the location of Jilongshan Market.

Inside a shop.

"A rhinoceros horn of earth-spirited nature, and one piece of white jade. How many would you like, sir?"

"Wasn't it only sixty or seventy pieces of white jade before?" Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise.

"The customer is knowledgeable," the shopkeeper said with a calm smile.

"But as you said, that was in the past."

"I don't know why, but the price of Dilingtong rhinoceros horn has skyrocketed recently."

"It seems someone is hoarding and buying up large quantities of goods, so..." The shopkeeper shrugged.

Chen Mu had a guess in his mind.

He felt that the price increase of the local rhinoceros horn must be related to the relocation of the Upper Courtyard and the Tongxi Baizhang Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine for treating rhinoceros horn poisoning).

"Guest, look..."

"Buy!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth: "Ten of them!"

Ten pieces cost 1,800 pieces of white jade. After buying them, he only had a few hundred pieces of white jade left.

"If this deal falls through, we'll really be starving."

……

Two days later.

In the basement of a small building on the east side of Chaoyang Mountain, Chen Mu habitually set up a secret chamber for alchemy.

He sat on a soft couch, with the Primordial Furnace on a low table in front of him. The furnace was entirely black, with three legs and two round, plump handles. Driven by the Wind and Fire Cardinal Mantra, it was now rhythmically humming and vibrating.

After a long while, a soft bang was heard.

The lid opened, and ten pills the size of grapes flew out.

The pill was entirely gray, resembling some kind of translucent keratin. Its shape was smooth and round, like a precious pearl.

Chen Mu glanced at it casually and then put it into the jade box on the table. He had already mastered the method of refining the Tongxi Baizhang Pill to its limit, with precise ingredient addition and skillful technique, and could always produce high-quality pills of consistent quality.

"It would be better if the alchemy furnace were a bit bigger."

That way he could refine more Hundred Miasma Pills at once.

"Once we've made enough money, we'll definitely buy a big furnace to refine pills."

"This Hunyuan Furnace isn't even big enough to make a stewed meat dish; it's too small."

……

For five consecutive days, Chen Mu hid in the secret room, refining pills day and night.

Only half of the rhinoceros horn remains, and all ten gourds of poisonous miasma have been used up.

In return, he received a full jade box containing a total of 933 pills of Tongxi Baizhang Dan.

According to Jia Tian, ​​one of these pills can be sold for ten white jade coins.

"Selling in bulk, it wouldn't be difficult to get six or seven pieces of white jade. And with the current shortage, you might even be able to get the equivalent of eight pieces of white jade."

"But the key question is... who to sell it to?" Chen Mu scratched his head.

Having just arrived, he was unfamiliar with Jilong Mountain. He had successfully refined the elixir, but couldn't find a suitable sales channel.

More than nine hundred pills of the Rhinoceros-Piercing Elixir of Immortality, worth nearly ten thousand white jade coins. Selling them to any shop casually could easily bring disaster upon oneself.

Giving it to Danbaoge wouldn't be a good idea either.

Sun Wuhuan initially caused him trouble because of the Bigu Pill. Ten of those pills could be bought with a single piece of white jade. Now, it's ten pieces of white jade that can buy one Tongxi Baizhang Pill.

Even more eye-catching!
"It would be best to hand it over to the bald guy."

"It's through acquaintances, the prices are transparent, and there are established distribution channels for bulk goods."

Unfortunately, Jia Tian was always active in Dongling and never came to Jilongshan.

"How about we go to Yuquan Mountain?"

……

The market town at the foot of Chaoyang Mountain.

Chen Mu stood on a small hill at the foot of Chaoyang Mountain, looking at the Cloud Bat Flying Boat in the distance, his brows furrowed with worry.

He had just finished inquiring. The Cloud Bat Flying Boat was prioritized for the relocation of the Upper House. In the near future, he wouldn't be able to buy a ticket or board the boat.

Did you travel over mountains and valleys to Yuquan Mountain by yourself?

"I'd be crazy to go by myself. What if I run into some tough guys who ambush me on the way?" Chen Mu quickly shook his head.

He didn't rush to leave, but stood there staring at the flying boat.

It is said that the Cloud Bat Flying Boat is made of a demonic beast called the Cloud Bat, which was captured and modified by the Thousand Machines Sect. Judging from its mountain-like size, it must have been incredibly powerful when it was alive.

"As expected of an ancient sect spanning multiple continents."

"They can actually capture these kinds of monsters at will, turn them into standardized magical artifacts, and sell them. Tsk tsk..."

As I was engrossed in watching, I suddenly felt a rhythmic tremor in the ground beside me.

Chen Mu suddenly turned his head and saw a beautiful toad, about two people tall, slowly emerging from the ground.

Its body was as white as jade, with three golden lines on its forehead extending down its back.

Two large, slightly dazed eyes stared at Chen Mu with a look of utter confusion.

Cold Moon Toad Gold Ingot?
After a while, as if recognizing Chen Mu, a slightly naive voice rang in Chen Mu's ear.

quack!
"Hello?"

"Oh, oh, you're good, you're good too!"

"Cuck!"

"haven't seen you for a long time?"

"It has indeed been quite a few years since we last met," Chen Mu said with a smile.

After all these years, Big Toad Yuanbao is still as polite as ever.

"Huh? You're Chen Mu?"

With a question uttered, a jade-colored beam of light descended from the sky.

A stiff, wooden-faced figure, both unfamiliar and familiar, appeared beside Yuanbao.

Mo Wuzhou?
Mo Wuzhou, the genius of the Tongtian River Lower Academy, who was taken in as a closed-door disciple by Rong Qiu, the master of the Danbao Pavilion?

Why is he still staying at Jilong Mountain?

Chen Mu suddenly had a thought.

I was just worried about who to sell the Hundred Miasma Pill to.

The right candidate has arrived!
