My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 396 Half a Year
"Why didn't Senior Brother Mo go to Jade Spring Mountain?" After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Mu asked in confusion.

Core disciples like Mo Wuzhou had already moved to the Five Mountains of Dongling in large numbers when the Upper Academy was first relocated.

"I received orders from my master to sort out the earth's veins here and transform a batch of spiritual fields into Jilong Mountain," Mo Wuzhou said.

Chen Mu looked at Yuanbao and suddenly realized what was going on.

The Cold Moon Toad possesses an innate ability to burrow underground, allowing it to move freely underground. The original protective barriers of Misty Mountain were built with Yuanbao's help.

"If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask." Chen Mu quickly put on a helpful act.

Mo Wuzhou's heart stirred.

He had heard from his senior brother Liang Yi that it was Chen Mu who helped him explore the underground water veins of Misty Mountain.

However, Senior Brother Liang also said that this guy is very good at hiding his talents, so why is he so eager this time?

"You can tell me what you need."

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask my senior brother to help me sell a batch of Tongxi Baizhang Pills." Chen Mu chuckled, not hiding anything.

With that, he flicked his wrist and handed over a gray pill.

"You know how to refine the Rhinoceros-Piercing Elixir?" Mo Wuzhou asked in surprise, taking the pill in his hand to examine it carefully.

This was a miasma-avoiding pill specially made by his master Rongqiu for the disciples of Dongling. It was quite difficult to make, and he never expected that Chen Mu would be able to refine it.

"I won't let my senior brother work for nothing."

"Senior brother can take thirty percent of the white jade coins," Chen Mu said readily.

He was planning to use Mo Wuzhou's name to block the greedy eyes of others; this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

Mo Wuzhou's heart skipped a beat. Why did this operation sound so familiar?
"Back in Pengyue Mountain, the wooden spirit beast that Shang Huan sold wasn't something you trained, was it?" He stared at Chen Mu suspiciously.

That was trained by Gongsun Sheng, what does it have to do with me!

Chen Mu feigned ignorance, looking completely bewildered: "Mu Linglang? Wasn't that what Senior Brother asked Shang Huan to sell?"

Mo Wuzhou stared at Chen Mu for a long time, looking him up and down, before finally looking away with a hint of disbelief.

"Aren't you afraid I'll swallow your pills?"

"If you need it, senior brother, please take it." Chen Mu said generously.

"Really that generous?"

"You wouldn't be thinking of sneaking up on me?" Mo Wuzhou glanced at Chen Mu.

"How could that be?" Chen Mu asked sincerely.

A blunt instrument isn't enough.

At the very least, I'll let you try my Crimson Feather Sword.

……

With Mo Wuzhou's help, over nine hundred pills of Tongxi Baizhang Dan were delivered to Yuquan Mountain without any incident through Danbaoge.

As Rongqiu's closed-door disciple, no one doubted the origin of the pills, assuming they were made by Mo Wuzhou.

Having worked with Mu Linglang before, Chen Mu felt relatively at ease with Mo Wuzhou.

Of course, one should always be wary of others.

That night, he hid in the second underground chamber beneath the underground chamber.

Fortunately, it turned out he was overthinking it.

The next day, Mo Wuzhou delivered nine thousand white jade coins.

Chen Mu looked at the other person in confusion: "Senior brother? You said you'd take 30%, what happened..."

"The price has gone up." Mo Wuzhou looked at Chen Mu, his face expressionless, but his eyes betrayed his envy.

He was envious of the nearly ten thousand pieces of white jade he had just earned.

"You're so optimistic about Dongling's development that you've prepared so many 'Hundred Miasma Pills' so early on?"

What do you mean?
Chen Mu was a little confused.

"You must have been saving up that box of pills for half a year, right?" Mo Wuzhou looked at Chen Mu with emotion: "If you weren't optimistic about the development of Dongling, why would you have prepared the Hundred Miasma Pills in advance?"

Chen Mu gave the other person a strange look.

He used that box of Hundred Miasma Pills for only seven days.

This also includes the time spent digging the secret chamber.

He still complained that it was too slow.

Half a year?

Chen Mu glanced at the experience points that had been painted all over the gray wall and suddenly realized what was going on.

That's the power of ultimate skills!
His alchemy skills in mastering the Hundred Miasma Elixir were probably already on par with Rong Qiu, the creator of this alchemy method.

He himself accomplished what even his own disciple, Mo Wuzhou, couldn't do!
Chen Mu looked at the gray wall with admiration.

I'm just too diligent!

Meeting Mo Wuzhou's curious gaze, Chen Mu began to pretend to reminisce about the past.

"When I first arrived in Dongling a few years ago, I was forced to travel around Dongling due to the pressure of making a living, and I was once plagued by miasma."

"Putting myself in others' shoes, I realized that others must also need pills to ward off miasma and detoxify."

"After years of deliberation, I have finally achieved something."

"I only intended to make a small profit, but I unexpectedly discovered that the price of pills kept rising, so I kept them in my hands for a while longer. I didn't expect..." Chen Mu shrugged, looking as if he hadn't expected it either. Mo Wuzhou shook his head and sighed, "Only you dare to think and act, seizing this opportunity."

He could also refine the Hundred Miasma Pills, and on a good day, he could refine more than ten. Unfortunately, he did not expect the development of the Five Mountains of Dongling, let alone the relocation of the Upper Academy.

"Good luck, good judgment."

"Not at all," Chen Mu replied with feigned modesty.

I wish I could bring a chair for Senior Brother Mo so he could sit there and praise him all day long.

"I'll sell the pills for you, but you have to help me investigate the underground water veins." Mo Wuzhou said expressionlessly, "I won't let you work for free. After the spirit field is transformed, I'll give you five hundred white jade coins."

Chen Mu helped to sell the Hundred Miasma Pills and didn't intend to charge money, but he didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

Five hundred pieces of white jade is quite a lot; it's enough for him to eat and drink well for a month while he cultivates.

He immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I will obey your orders, senior brother."

The pressure of the white jade is gone.

There's no rush to refine the Bigu Pill.

I'll just follow Mo Wuzhou around Jilong Mountain.

……

As the location of the Upper Academy, Jilong Mountain has complete and comprehensive protective laws and restrictions. Even if the part of it was damaged by the attack of Liyang Dao, it is not something that Mo Wuzhou can easily change.

However, creating a spiritual field does not require major changes; it only requires setting up meridian points to slightly gather vital energy.

Then, open up the water veins and draw out the spiritual spring water containing vital energy to irrigate the plants.

So Chen Mu began to follow Mo Wuzhou as he traversed the underground of Jilong Mountain, helping him explore the underground water veins.

Two months later, the relocation of the Jilongshan Shangyuan was completely completed.

A large number of newly recruited disciples of the lower academy were also transported to Jilong Mountain one after another.

Just like when they developed the Five Mountains of Dongling. These warriors recruited from the Great Qian Dynasty, after using the Primary Heavenly Demon Rebirth Pill to cultivate their Armored Steel Skin, became the best farmers in the Lower Courtyard.

Under the guidance of core disciples like Mo Wuzhou, the new disciples began to cultivate the spiritual fields of Jilong Mountain.

Starting from Chaoyang Sanshan, excess buildings were demolished first, followed by tree felling, weeding, and clearing away rubble. Below the mountainside, the area was quickly transformed into neat terraced fields surrounding the mountain.

The main mountain of Jilong Mountain has also undergone minor renovations.

The mountains and forests remain, but some useless buildings have disappeared.

Instead, there are small, exquisite spiritual fields where medicinal herbs can be grown.

The foreign aid workers were working with great enthusiasm.

Jilong Mountain, which had become deserted due to the relocation, has become lively again.

……

The weather is gradually getting colder, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On the east side of Chaoyang Mountain, in front of the pavilion's porch, Chen Mu lay lazily in a rocking chair.

After six months of hard work, the spiritual fields of Jilong Mountain have been basically transformed.

Below the mountainside of Chaoyang Mountain, the dense forests have disappeared, and all have been transformed into fields of yellow-budded rice, a lush green expanse as far as the eye can see.

It has lost its former tranquility, but gained a sense of openness.

He squinted, focusing his inner vision on the jade seed's inner core.

A silver, hollowed-out sphere spins rapidly in the center.

For the past six months, although he had been helping Mo Wuzhou search for underground water veins, he had never given up his cultivation.

Today, the sixth layer of divine aperture talisman has been fully condensed once again. In the void below the right rib of the abdomen, a secret aperture has also appeared simultaneously with the advancement of the Yellow Springs General Principles.

After that, the plants and trees in the mountains seemed to possess an indescribable sense of rhythm in his eyes. It was as if he could seamlessly blend into them whenever he wanted.

"First, it disappears into the earth, then it disappears into the grass and trees."

"The Five Elements Escape Technique?"

"What kind of monster is this cloud mirage? How does it know the Five Elements Escape Technique?"

Having cultivated for so long, he has come to some guesses about the appearance of the body's secret points.

The first step in cultivation for heretics and demons is to introduce demonic bloodlines and awaken their innate spiritual armor and steel skin.

Then, by using the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique to discern the true meaning of bloodlines, he cultivated magical power.

Next, they opened the Heavenly Demon Secret Aperture and transformed their bodies.

This step may awaken the innate divine power within the Heavenly Demon bloodline.

In comparison, the third step of the Enlightenment Realm is extremely similar to the changes within his body.

He had never consumed the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Pill, nor practiced the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique. If there was any connection, it might be the Cloud Mirage Spirit Armor Technique.

"For some unknown reason, I have the bloodline of the Mirage within me."

"The Yellow Springs General Principles can unexpectedly promote bloodline growth, which is why it can also open up secret acupoints and awaken innate supernatural powers."

"The earliest supernatural power should be the ability to restrict qi for a hundred miles. But this is clearly a secret technique that only ghosts and monsters possess."

"Could the cloud mirage be a ghost? Then why isn't it called the Ghost Armor Technique on the gray wall?"

"Tsk tsk... I don't understand."
