My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 445 Achieved
Time passes.

The Hai-character camp gradually returned to its former rhythm, with the Yin soldiers going out to hunt every day and the auxiliary soldiers continuing to transport water monkeys as usual.

Shi Zongqi, who had previously had to step forward to supervise Yisanqi due to the tense war situation, once again immersed himself in brewing soup and medicine, hiding in the camp and not showing his face.

In this way, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Late at night, in a secret underground room at the Yisanqi camp.

Chen Mu frowned and drew out the gray wall.

Yellow Springs Guide: 1133/10000/Third Rank;

Something's not right.

With a thought, a surge of Yin spiritual power flowed into his right palm, and wisps of the River of Oblivion slowly emerged and gathered, eventually forming a ball the size of a bedside table.

Chen Mu stared at the water droplets, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Why is there only one clump?"

"Based on previous calculations, a second-stage perfected Yellow Spring Summoning technique would summon at least two clumps of river water at a time."

"And it won't be as difficult as it is now."

Chen Mu stared at the gray wall, carefully examining the fragments of insights gained from his experience, but he still couldn't find the answer.

"Forget it, with the water ape providing the essence and the Yellow Spring Flying Flame Scripture accelerating the combined training, it won't be long before we reach the next stage."

"I will gain more insights at that time, and perhaps I will be able to solve this problem."

He stopped thinking about it and began to plan his next step in cultivation.

"We have enough Forget River Stones, but we need to stockpile another batch of Water Apes."

Inside the Five Ghosts Bag, the batch of water apes that had been hidden there before had all been consumed by him.

"I need to stock up a lot this time. In case something goes wrong again at the third-stage perfection level, having stockpiled supplies will allow me to continue training without having to steal from the water apes so often," Chen Mu thought to himself.

With so many people and eyes on the battlefield, switching to your true form to steal the water ape is always risky; if you're discovered, it could lead to big trouble.

"We need to buy a bigger piece of oilcloth."

"Collecting such a large batch is still quite troublesome."

"Hmm...should I ask Brother Hong Xiu for another sponsorship?"

"Forget it, we can't keep doing this Robin Hood-style work by targeting only one person."

"If I push them too far, they might cause me a lot of trouble one day."

……

The next day.

In front of a small hill somewhere.

Hong Xiufei, Yong Niu, and Cheng Zong stood in a dark green grove of trees.

Not far away, squads of Flame Walker auxiliary soldiers lined up to hand over the Water Apes.

Fei Yong sighed with admiration, "Brother Hong is indeed the best."

"The fighting was intense a couple of days ago, and all the commanders stepped in to oversee things. I thought this deal was going to fall through."

"I didn't expect that after only two days of the banner leaders not showing up, the leaders of each banner would dare to take the initiative to bring people to hand over the water monkeys."

"My eyes have been opened! My eyes have been opened! My eyes have truly been opened!"

Hong Xiu smiled and said, "With that share of the profits hanging over them, those people are naturally more anxious than us."

He looked at Fei Yong and Niu Chengzong with a smile: "Since you know this business is easy to do, how about you two take over my share after I transfer to the Caiyuan Department?"

"Of course, if you find it difficult, I can help you find a friend to join us, that's not out of the question."

"Brother Hong, are you willing to part with it?"

"Moreover, I heard that the Caiyuan tribe has recently run into big trouble. There are rumors that the Cailu Curse has lost its power. Brother Hong, aren't you afraid of inviting trouble by joining at this time?" Niu Chengzong asked doubtfully.

“Of course I’m reluctant, but the opportunity is too good to pass up.” Hong Xiu sighed. “As for the trouble, I have to thank it for it, otherwise the Caiyuan Department wouldn’t have lowered the assessment requirements.”

"Besides, I practice the Three Revolutions Essence-Seizing Spell, which is mainly responsible for absorbing the essence of the water ape, and will not be tainted by the Dew-Gathering Spell."

“Since Brother Hong has already made his decision, we shouldn’t try to persuade him any further,” Fei Yong quickly interjected.

He was more than happy to have fewer people share the spoils, so he could take a larger batch of water monkeys.

Then he patted Niu Chengzong on the shoulder and said casually, "I'm used to getting along with Lao Niu, and I don't want to share the meat with a stranger. I just don't know what conditions Brother Hong has."

Hong Xiu immediately said, "All the gains in the next month are mine."

Fei Yong and Niu Chengzong exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Let's do it this way!"

Hong Xiu immediately smiled. Niu Chengzong, as if remembering something, suddenly asked, "Brother Hong, have you found anything from the investigation of that person?"

"We want to continue this business, but we're most afraid that person will come again. We'll need Brother Hong to give us more tips on relevant information."

Fei Yong nodded in agreement.

Hong Xiu's face darkened: "Recently, only one Yin spirit surnamed Niu in the Flame Strike Tribe has mastered supernatural powers and was recruited by the general to serve as a Yin soldier. That person is very likely still hiding in the Flame Strike Tribe."

Fei Yong and Niu Chengzong immediately frowned.

Hong Xiu smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I have already notified the leaders of each banner to keep an eye on the evil spirits under their command."

“Anyone who doesn’t fit in, who is aloof and avoids people, who doesn’t properly carry water apes but secretly cultivates all day long, is likely that person.”

"Once we compile a list, we can focus our investigation and there is a high probability that we will be able to discover the other party's identity."

"At that time, we will invite another Yin soldier to take action, and we can easily suppress that person!"

Niu Chengzong and his companion were overjoyed.

"As expected, Brother Hong is indeed meticulous in his planning and dares to think and act!"

Hong Xiu waved his hand, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

Not far away, Chen Mu, who was hiding underground listening to the three people's conversation, also smiled.

"Since you started this trouble, don't blame me for fighting back!"

"Ha ha!"

Then, the three people who were thinking about how to trick someone nearby suddenly felt a familiar pressure and were slapped to the ground at the same time.

“Old Niu…” a cheerful voice rang in the ears of the three.

Hong Xiu's face twitched violently, but he had no choice but to say, "Sigh!"

Niu Chengzong, lying next to Hong Xiu, glared angrily. "Why did you have to register my name in the first place? Now I can't even use my name!"
"I heard you were looking for me?" Chen Mu's voice was full of enthusiasm. "Do you have a gift for me?"

Hong Xiu's eyes twitched violently, and he said with a frustrated expression, "That's right! You can take as many of those water apes down the mountain as you like!"

"That's so embarrassing," Chen Mu said, her voice tinged with awkwardness.

Then, with a wave of his hand, five ghosts and black smoke descended from the sky, instantly swallowing up the small mountain of water apes piled up at the foot of the mountain.

You acted so decisively, what's there to be embarrassed about!

Hong Xiu's face immediately turned red with anger.

"Where are your Qi-eating bags?" Chen Mu asked, a little annoyed. "Weren't you supposed to give me three Qi-eating bags?"

Having learned from my previous experience, I'd be an idiot to put the gas-eating bag on myself.

"I'm a little short on cash, so I didn't buy it," Hong Xiu lied, forcing himself to stay calm.

"You three robbers are short of cash?" Chen Mu said sarcastically. "You're really poor!"

Three people: "..."

Hey!
Don't fucking let us know who you are!
……

More than twenty days later.

In a secluded room late at night.

Strands of the River of Oblivion slowly emerged, taking a while to coalesce into a mass.

Chen Mu took a deep breath, looked at the large water sphere in front of him that was half a person tall, and couldn't help but smile.

"We've finally met the first condition."

For some reason, condensing the water of the River of Oblivion has become quite difficult lately.

At first, it was like drawing water from a riverbank, something you could do with just a slight bend. Now, it's like drawing water from a deep well, requiring a long rope to lift it up, and demanding a lot of extra spiritual power.

This is precisely why it delayed him for quite some time.

"Is the Yellow Spring Guide always like this? Or is it due to condensing too much at once?"

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. I'd rather consider how to increase my Yin Spirit power faster."

With a thought, the power of the Yin spirit touched the vertical line between the eyebrows, as if lighting up countless fine light strips.

A burst of silver light started from the forehead and spread rapidly along the network of silver threads in the subcutaneous blood vessels. The entire upper body seemed to suddenly become translucent, and the internal organs, muscles, and bones instantly glowed and became visible. It took a while for the light to fade back to its original dim state.

"If the supernatural ghost patterns can cover the entire body, the power of the Yin spirits will surely increase greatly."

"The conditions for condensing ten pots of water from the River of Oblivion can be easily met."

"Although practicing the Flying Flame Scripture is painful and dangerous, we still can't stop."
