My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 569 Integration

The top of Chongmei Mountain is broad and flat, covered with tall green trees of various colors. Occasionally, gray tiles and flying eaves can be seen among the trees, and courtyards and pavilions are hidden in the middle of the trees.

There is a three-courtyard building on the west side, which is the location of Bailian Hall, the lower branch of Yunchong.

Chen Mu, with Li Moliang's face and figure, walked calmly into the east side room, where a fat figure was sitting behind the desk.

Chen Mu held a palm-sized wooden box in his hands and placed it on the desk, then clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Manager Huang, these are the water-repellent beads for this month. Please check them."

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look much better. If we hadn't known each other for a long time, I would have suspected that you were someone else in disguise." Huang Jian pressed the box and greeted with a smile.

This fat yellow guy is so sharp!

Chen Mu's heart trembled.

Even though he had used the shape-changing technique to imitate Li Moliang's skinny appearance, his mind was still perfect and his energy was full. Unlike Li Moliang who was deficient in energy and blood, people who were familiar with him could still sense something was wrong when they suddenly looked at him.

"It was just luck. My weapon refining skills have improved a little recently, and the loss of my energy has been slightly reduced." Chen Mu shrugged and pretended to be proud.

"Isn't this a coincidence?" Huang Jian's smile became even brighter when he heard this.

"The House of Lords is in urgent need of a batch of water-repellent beads recently, and I am worried about this batch of magic tools."

"Your weapon-refining skills have improved now, so I'm sure you can practice more. This will be a great help."

  In urgent need of water repellent beads?

Is it to build a ferry to cross the Ten Thousand Mountains?

Chen Mu's thoughts turned, but he didn't show it on his face. He deliberately showed an expression of expectation and surprise to test: "What about the price?"

"Don't worry, I promise you will be satisfied." Fatty Huang waved his hand happily and said, "For one water-repellent bead, I can give you forty-five Dao Merits and eighty white jade coins."

Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

According to Li Moliang, in the past, if one handed in a reduced version of the inferior water-repellent bead, the Bailian Hall would give at most 30 Dao Gong and 65 white jade coins. I didn't expect that now it would be directly increased by more than 20%!

"That's just the beginning. If Brother Li can make a top-grade water-repellent bead, I will give you 300 Dao skills and 300 white jade coins!" Fatty Huang stretched out three fingers and gestured in front of Chen Mu.

Why are top-quality water-repellent beads so expensive?

Because the raw materials are precious, the water-repellent beads commonly used in Yunchong Lower House are abridged versions. Although the efficacy is similar, they can only be used for one year.

However, the original top-quality water-repellent beads can be used for five years.

But even so, it was only more than two hundred white jade coins at most. Three hundred white jades plus three hundred Dao skills, this price was somewhat unexpectedly high.

"Brother Li, if you are interested, you might as well give it a try." Huang Jian advised with a smile: "If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next one will be."

"Thank you Manager Huang for the reminder." Chen Mu immediately pretended to be surprised and bowed.

After a few more pleasantries, Chen Mu walked out of the Bailian Palace courtyard carrying a cloth bag containing eighty white jade coins.

After nodding and smiling at a burly man whom he had met several times, Chen Mu stood at the door and looked back at the busy figures in Bailian Hall, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"Even Huang Jian, who had the most contact with me, couldn't see through my disguise. Li Moliang's fake identity was successfully replaced."

……

On the east side of Chongmei Mountain, there is Chen Mu Cave, in front of the huge jade window.

"I've only heard that the upper house of Eyangdao needs to collect thunder talismans, but I've never heard of continuing to avoid water beads." Li Moliang was puzzled: "Could it be that the upper house is planning to open another lower house to breed golden pearl clams?"

"Maybe." Chen Mu glanced at Li Moliang without further explanation.

It seems that Li Moliang didn't know about the plan to cross the Ten Thousand Mountains along the Goose-Sheep Road.

Yuan Xian was in the upper house of Eyang Road, and there were other spies.

"You should know a lot about the monster's plan to destroy the earth veins." Chen Mu turned to ask other things.

"I do know a little." Li Moliang nodded after a slight hesitation.

"I joined the lower house of Yunchong five years ago. In addition to asking me to try to infiltrate Bailian Palace, my first task was to bury a dragon-nailing stake into Chongmei Mountain."

  Dragon pile? What is that?

Chen Mu became interested.

"A special ghost weapon, it looks like an ice-blue bead the size of a fist." Li Moliang described it using his hands.

"You just need to reach the designated location and use a Qi-refining practitioner who has cultivated magical powers as a sacrifice to open it."

"It will wrap around the Qi Refiner and automatically sink into the ground."

  Isn't this the Linglong Meridian Acupoint of the City God's Dojo? !

Chen Mu's heart sank.

"There must be more than one dragon nail stake, right?" He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"There are indeed more than one." Li Moliang nodded.

"Among the Armored Soul Warriors who joined the Yunchong Lower House with me, there were several Dark God Transformation Warriors hiding."

"Their purpose is probably to bury the dragon stakes outside Chongmei Mountain."

"The dragon nail stake in the mountain belly has not yet been integrated into the earth veins. I can use it to detect the aftermath of the burial of other dragon nail stakes."

"I counted them then, and there must have been thirty-six."

  Thirty-six dragon nail stakes, that means thirty-six Qi Refiners!

Chen Mu was in a heavy mood.

They were supposed to cultivate immortality and seek the way to enter and exit the underworld, but now they are buried underground and obsessed with their consciousness, becoming the living dead whom no one cares about.

If I were caught and buried underground someday... "Yuan Xian and his gang... deserve to die."

Chen Mu looked indifferent.

Li Moliang noticed Chen Mu's cold gaze and suddenly trembled all over and lowered his head.

After a moment, Chen Mu's expression gradually softened and he shook his head and sighed.

This was a battle between Hades Transformation warriors and Qi Refiners. Whether it was Li Moliang or himself, they were just a tiny speck of dust in this chaos.

Even if he killed Li Moliang and Yuan Xian, he would not be able to bring any ripples to this turmoil.

Moreover, on the surface, it was the mortal Daqian who was targeting the Qi Refiners, but behind the scenes, it was the Yin and Ming Underworld who were secretly plotting.

I am just a small Qi-refining practitioner with perfect spiritual awareness, and there is no way I can get involved in such chaos.

It is already extremely difficult to protect oneself.

"The world is a difficult and dangerous place..." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Li Moliang looked at Chen Mu carefully and said tentatively: "The dragon nail pile has been sunk into the ground for a year. It has now been completely integrated into the mountain protection ban of the lower courtyard."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Dragon Locking Academy will soon drive the strange monster to the Yunchong Lower Academy."

"Chongmei Mountain is the core, and it is the place where the strange monsters are rampant."

"That thing is very strange. Look, should we hide from it first?"

  hide?

Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He thought of the thirty-six Qi Refiners who sank into the ground.

Although we have never met each other, we are all Qigong practitioners after all.

Although I can't sacrifice my life for revenge, it's okay to destroy the Dragon Locking Courtyard plan.

"As long as the Dragon Locking Court drives the strange monster to the Yunchong Lower Court, I will immediately put it into the Five Ghosts Bag. This can be regarded as collecting some interest for you."

Chen Mu's lips curled up slightly, and he looked towards the horizon with a smile through the huge jade pet.

The strange monster disappeared out of thin air, and the old man Yuan Xian must have looked very unhappy.

  what!

……

Eight hundred miles to the north of Yunze Lake.

Somewhere in a valley, there was deathly silence, and thick fog that was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face suddenly appeared.

On the northern mountaintop, five or six sturdy men in black robes were staring at the interior of the valley with nervous expressions.

The next moment, more than a dozen hideous human heads suddenly flew out and rushed towards the black-robed burly man. One of the people at the edge was unable to react in time and was immediately surrounded by densely packed human heads.

The long tail of white smoke under the neck of the human head was like a snake, tightly wrapping around the man in black robe. Before the people around him could help, he was dragged into the white mist by the human head and disappeared.

A short scream accompanied by the faint sound of bones breaking was heard, and the entire valley became silent again.

"Another...another one died? This is the fifth one eaten by this beast, right?!" a man in a black robe said as he couldn't help but tremble all over.

The other strong men were also stiff, and they dared not even breathe for fear of alerting the monsters in the valley.

After a long while, the leader in black robes took a deep breath and encouraged the morale in a dry voice: "We have reached the edge of Yunze Lake. As long as we lure this strange monster to Yunze Lake, our mission will be completed."

"It's over a hundred miles away. If we are careful and cautious, it will only take a day at most."

"Tomorrow, at the latest tomorrow, we will be able to return to Daqian soon!"

When they heard this, they were immediately delighted. But before they could be happy for a few breaths, a calm voice suddenly appeared behind them: "You can't go back to Daqian tomorrow."

Several people turned around suddenly and saw an old man with a sinister face who appeared not far behind them. It was Yuan Xian, the head of the 29th courtyard of the Suolong Courtyard.

"Master!" Several people were shocked and quickly clasped their fists respectfully.

"The situation has changed. This strange monster needs to bypass Yunze Lake and lead it to the Dianhe Gorge." Yuan Xian said lightly.

The black-robed man's expression suddenly changed.

  The Dianhe Gorge is 800 miles south of Yunze Lake. With the detour, they still need to travel more than 2,000 miles with the strange monsters in the valley. I wonder how many of them will survive by then!

"Master! The location of the mission we originally accepted was Yunze Lake, not the Dianhe Gorge." The leading man in black gritted his teeth and spoke

Yuan Xian looked indifferent and glanced at the other person calmly.

  The sturdy leader suddenly tensed up all over. Although he was just an old man with a sinister face, he felt as if he was facing a strange monster in the valley!

"I will follow the dean's orders!" The sturdy man hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted, his forehead immediately covered with cold sweat.

Yuan Xian rolled his eyes and looked away.

He didn't want to make trouble. But he had the Heavenly Demon Spirit in his body. Whenever he thought that this strange monster might hurt Chen Mu, he would keep thinking about driving it away from Yunchong's lower courtyard.

The Yunchong Lower House is very important to Eyangdao. In order to destroy its land veins, the Suolong Courtyard has been planning for nearly ten years.

But now...

"We can only bypass Yunchong Lower Court for now." Yuan Xian frowned and sighed.

"The loss is huge, and I may get into big trouble. I don't know if Mr. Gongsun will give me some secret teachings of the Heavenly Demon."

"I'm doing this to ensure his safety!"
