My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 567 Infiltration

Chen Mu’s room on the top floor of the 100-meter-long ship.

"What's going on with Old Man Xu? Does he have a grudge against you?" Chen Mu looked at Yuan Xian curiously.

"There are indeed some minor disputes, but no major hatred." Yuan Xian explained: "This person is the guardian of the Lingzun Hall of the Dragon Locking Academy. He has mastered countless Yinming Ghost Patterns. It will be more efficient for him to teach you the Red Eye Ghost Pattern."

"Although this person is greedy for money, he is very trustworthy, so I spent a lot of money to invite him."

"Xu Zhou is making things difficult for you? That shouldn't be the case. He has taken the money." Yuan Xian frowned.

"Could it be that your identity as a Qi Refiner has been exposed?" Yuan Xian's face changed.

Chen Mu couldn't help but frown when he heard that.

According to Yuan Xian, Xu Zhou is not an ordinary dragon-locking warrior, and he might even be able to see through the cover of the breath-killing ability.

"If you really saw through my disguise, why did you teach me the Red Eyed Ghost Pattern?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

"No matter how he considers it, this is still a hidden danger." Yuan Xian's face flashed fiercely: "Why not... kill him!"

Chen Mu's face twitched.

  How come we ended up talking about murder?

"It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go!" Yuan Xian said solemnly.

No, really not...

At this moment, the ship was not far from the border of Southern Shu, and had basically left Daqian, so there was no need to worry about the disguise being seen through. Moreover, he had taught him the Red Eye Demon Pattern, so how could he turn against him so easily?

"You are still too kind." Yuan Xian sighed and shook his head.

"Who makes me a good person?" Chen Mu also sighed.

Yuan Xian's eyelids twitched, and the serious expression on his face almost broke.

After a long pause, he spoke again: "I think it's better to prevent it before it happens."

"Demon Spirit Seed?" Chen Mu couldn't help but be moved.

"That's right! It's safer if we become one of our own." Yuan Xian's face was solemn.

Chen Mu was about to nod in agreement when he was suddenly stunned.

He looked at Yuan Xian with suspicion.

"First, they killed people to silence them, and then they killed the demon spirits..."

"You don't want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and ask me to help you deal with Xu Zhou, right?"

  Something is wrong. There is something wrong with this old guy Yuan Xian!

"You misunderstood. I did this entirely for your safety." Yuan Xian's expression remained unchanged.

"I think you are just interested in that Lingzun Palace." Chen Mu snorted coldly and glanced at Yuan Xian.

Although he had a grudge against Xu Zhou and knew that he was greedy for money, he still asked Xu Zhou to teach him the Red Eyed Ghost Pattern.

Isn't this just deliberately letting Xu Zhou provoke me, and then using me to deal with Xu Zhou?

Besides, according to Yuan Xian's plan, the spy Li Moliang would be placed in Qiandeng City by himself, so even if he didn't know the Red Eye Ghost Pattern, it wouldn't affect his lurking in the lower courtyard of Yunchong.

and so……

Chen Mu rolled his eyes and stared at Yuan Xian coldly.

Old man, you have a lot of tricks on your mind!

……

Five days later, at a remote ferry somewhere in Dali.

Chen Mu stood on the shore and waved to Xu Zhou and Xu Chang on the deck.

They had already reached the outer edge of Yunze Lake. The earth's spiritual energy was gradually becoming denser, and various strange beasts began to appear. Whether for safety or concealment, they could not continue to take the 100-meter-long ship for the rest of the journey.

Looking at Xu Chang who was standing at the stern, jumping and waving goodbye to him, Chen Mu waved again and couldn't help smiling.

As the boat sailed away, Chen Mu looked back and saw Yuan Xian's surprised and doubtful face.

"Who are you waving goodbye to?" he asked tensely.

"Xu Chang, Xu Zhou's grandson."

"If it weren't for him, Xu Zhou wouldn't have taught me the secret of the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern so quickly." Chen Mu said with a smile.

Yuan Xian's face changed: "Xu Zhou is a lonely man, he has no grandson!"

"Why not? Isn't he standing there?" Chen Mu said, pointing to the ship that was moving farther and farther away. But Xu Chang, who was jumping and waving at the stern just now, had disappeared at this moment, as if he had never appeared.

  He immediately used the Divine Listening Technique to listen inside and outside the distant ship. However, he discovered that not only Xu Chang, but even Xu Zhou had disappeared!

Chen Mu was stunned on the spot.

"When we were saying goodbye just now, the child was clearly standing next to Xu Zhou. Couldn't you see it?" He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

Yuan Xian shook his head slowly, his face solemn and silent.

Does Xu Zhou really have no grandson?

  Then who is Xu Chang, who has been with me for more than a month?

Standing under the scorching sun, Chen Mu did not feel the heat at all, but only felt cold all over and his hair stood on end.

……

Half a month later, Yunze Lake and Chongmei Mountain.

Yunze Lake is vast and boundless, stretching for thousands of miles. It is located in the southwest of Dali and is named after the clouds and mist that linger around it all year round. It is also called Qianbo Lake because of the frequent strong winds and huge waves.

Chongmei Mountain is located in the center of Yunze Lake. Its shape is peculiar, like a pillar.

The top of the mountain rises high into the clouds, piercing through the clouds. It is covered with dense vegetation, and countless palaces with black tiles and white walls are hidden inside.

There are countless caves carved out of the steep mountain walls around, and the disciples of Yun Chong's lower house of Eyang Dao live in these honeycomb-like cave dwellings.

On this day, in a cave above the clouds on the east side of Yunchong Mountain, Chen Mu, who was sitting on a low couch by the window, slowly opened his eyes.

Strands of earth spiritual energy continued to drill into Chen Mu's body.

The jade seed was full of holes, like a magical talisman that had been corroded by sulfuric acid, and was slowly recovering.

Chen Mu felt relaxed, as if he had taken off his heavy winter clothes and put on light clothes. His mind was clear, and a sense of vitality rose from the depths of his soul.

Chen Mu casually threw three or five jade dew beads into his mouth and smiled: "Another cleansing is completed."

In the past two months, he came to Dali by boat and never forgot to practice the Wuyun Zhenfa.

The primordial energy in the Five Ghosts Bag was all stored in the Dark Cloud Talisman. Today was just enough to complete a spiritual cleansing.

Chen Mu turned his head and looked out through the jade window embedded in the thick mountain wall. It was as if cotton was covering the ground, and a sea of ​​clouds came into view.

This was already his fifth day at Yunchong Lower House.

With the cooperation of the spy Li Moliang, Chen Mu first used the shape-changing technique to transform into the other party's appearance, and then took him into Qiandeng City. With the other party's identity jade card, under his guidance, he easily entered the lower courtyard of Yunchong.

He originally thought he would run into some trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

"After all, it's just a lower house that breeds golden pearl oysters, so the mountain protection laws and prohibitions are not that strict."

Feeling the earth spirit energy floating around him, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile: "It's still more comfortable to be led by a Qi Refiner."

There was no earth spirit in the underworld, but there was some in the mortal world, but it was diluted and spread out by the city god's temple. As a cultivator, he was like a fish swimming in shallow water, able to survive without the earth spirit, but very accustomed to it.

Moreover, the current Daqian is shrouded by the power of the underworld, and has undergone inexplicable changes. Under the calm and peaceful surface, who knows how many strange existences are hidden.

Just like Xu Chang, until now he is not sure whether the other party really exists.

"That little guy, I'm afraid he's not a human."

"Dragon Locking Courtyard, Spiritual Master Palace..." Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The Dragon Locking Courtyard, which he already knew quite well, was once again shrouded in a veil and became mysterious.

Although Yuan Xian had ulterior motives, the other party did a good thing by trying every means to send him away from Daqian.

"Well... when you catch strange monsters later, try to catch as few as possible." Chen Mu showed a playful smile.

The reason why he readily agreed to let Yuan Xian come to Eyangdao was because he knew that Yuan Xian would drive the evil monster to the territory of Eyangdao.

That thing carries countless Yinming insects with it. As long as he catches one, he can use the Five Ghost Bag to transform countless Yinhun monsters. It can greatly shorten the time required to cleanse the divine orifice.

Regardless of whether it was to drive away the Qi Refiners or to facilitate the layout of the City God Dojo in the future, the Dragon Locking Court would inevitably drive the strange monsters to destroy the earth veins and spiritual springs controlled by the Qi Refiners.

Just like in Daqian today, all the former lower houses of Jilong Dao in its territory have been destroyed and become desolate.

Now that Daqian Lock Dragon Courtyard has begun to target the Goose and Sheep Road, it will certainly not let go of the Yunchong Lower Courtyard, which is the breeding farm for golden pearl clams.

It won't be long before the strange monsters are driven to devour the earth's spiritual energy and destroy the earth's spiritual springs.

"Yuan Xian, you have to work harder and drive more evil monsters to Yun Chong's lower courtyard." Chen Mu's face was full of anticipation.
