My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 578 Harvest

Inside a cave in the belly of Chongmei Mountain.

  puff!

A bright yellow light burst out, and the dark talismans on the cave wall collapsed instantly.

Lian Xi stared at the remaining charred marks on the cave wall with a grim expression.

"How could the restriction collapse?!"

"Did the hidden hand he left behind before destroy the balance of the Yin-Yang Transformation Law? Or... Or did Huang Laogui find something wrong and took some countermeasures?"

"Hateful!"

In the flickering firelight, Lian Xi's figure disappeared.

With a dull bang, the entire cave collapsed.

……

  hum!

A violent wave suddenly burst out from the ground.

It was as if a huge meteorite was dropped into the lake, forming a circle of waves as high as a person, spreading rapidly in all directions with Chongmei Mountain as the center.

At the same time, the surfaces of the more than ten black light pillars in the four directions were instantly covered with cracks, like a porcelain bottle that was broken and glued together. Then it exploded into countless fragments with a bang.

The fragments were like ashes from burnt paper, floating in the wind and quickly turning into wisps of black ash and disappearing.

"I... I didn't do anything." Chen Mu looked around guiltily: "I just captured a few thousand ghost monsters, how could the ban collapse?"

"Well, there must be something wrong with the ban itself!" He nodded seriously.

Then he saw a ray of lightning rising into the sky from the top of Chongmei Mountain, flying around the top of the mountain, and then heading straight towards where he was.

Chen Mu's head shrank, and he immediately used his full power to stop his breath, concealing his own aura tightly.

Then he used the Five Elements Escape Technique and quickly dived underwater. Following a few disciples who were also avoiding the water underwater, he quickly fled to the east.

  I can’t stay at the crime scene. What if I’m misunderstood?

It’s better to run first as a sign of respect!

……

At dusk, Chishi Island, 70 miles south of Chongmei Mountain, is flat with sparse vegetation, and most areas are covered with dark red gravel of varying sizes.

Bonfires were lit on the rocky beach. The disciples of the lower courtyard of Yunchong gathered in groups of three or five, each with a lingering fear and a sad look on their faces.

In the past day, unexpected events occurred. Many people died when the ghosts first appeared. A large number of people died while escaping. Many familiar people even died in front of everyone.

Most of the disciples in the lower academy of Yunchong were people who raised clams and dived for pearls. They had led a peaceful life in the past with few fights, and had never seen such a cruel scene.

Even though the incident happened more than half a day ago, everyone still couldn't help feeling anxious.

At this moment, a streak of fire streaked across the sky, circled above the many disciples, and then quickly flew away.

Everyone looked at the flames that were speeding away and couldn't help but talk in low voices.

"Is that the company leader of Yodokawa Lower House? Haven't you found the rioter yet?"

"What on earth is that strange restriction that can evaporate human flesh and blood?"

"It's definitely not a good idea..."

"Is it the Yulingdao next door who is calling?"

"Luckily I escaped, otherwise..."

In a corner not far away, Chen Mu, with the appearance of Li Moliang, was sitting in front of a bonfire with a few unfamiliar disciples from the lower courtyard.

Listening to the sighs in his ears, he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, and finally put on a gloomy and painful expression.

He also wanted to show some doubt and uncertainty like Guang Tongchen, but as long as he thought of the harvest in the Five Ghosts Bag, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Four thousand and three! There are now four thousand and three ghosts in the Five Ghost Bag!

According to previous experience, it only takes half a day to accumulate the Hunyuan Qi produced by the Five Ghosts Bag, which is enough to start a spiritual cleansing.

That is to say, from now on, he can cleanse his spiritual power every year.

With his current progress in cultivation, he would be able to complete the Heche and successfully pass the fourth stage of Qi training in just 72 days!

Those veteran Qi-refining practitioners would need dozens or even decades to accumulate enough Hunyuan Qi to complete the refinement of their spiritual orifices.

But now he only needs less than three months.

"Well... I'm just a little bit faster than others." "There's really nothing to be happy about."

"Ha ha!"

……

Three days later, in the morning, on a rocky beach, in a gray single-person tent, Chen Mu opened his eyes helplessly.

"It's too early to be happy."

Inside the jade seed, the originally round nine-layer divine orifice talisman now had many broken and cracked places, like a rusty and pitted ball of broken wire.

"The Hun Yuan Qi is indeed enough to support daily practice, but the recovery speed of the Shenqiao Fatalisman is not enough to support such frequent practice. It's a miscalculation!" Chen Mu shook his head.

The fourth stage of Qi training is to practice Heche, which is to use Hunyuan Qi to cleanse and infect the Shenqiao talisman, so that it can undergo a qualitative change.

Every time the Divine Acupoint Talisman is refined, it will be corroded and damaged. However, due to the characteristics of the Divine Acupoint Talisman, the damaged parts will be restored and repaired quickly.

But these newly completed parts of the talisman are like new skin on a wound, very delicate. If they are slightly touched by the Primordial Qi, they will be corroded and destroyed immediately.

"The divine talisman does not transform instantly. After it is refined, it takes time to slowly complete the qualitative change." He sighed and suddenly realized.

In the past, it took him at least a month and a half to cleanse his spiritual power each time, so he didn't realize this at all.

"It's impossible to master the river cart in three months."

"But at least I don't have to worry about collecting Hun Yuan Qi, and it will definitely not take more than ten years in total."

"It's countless times faster than those elders guarding the underground spiritual spring. There's nothing to complain about." Chen Mu shrugged happily.

When he got out of the tent, he saw the disciples from the upper and lower houses on the rocky beach, silently making fire and cooking.

Although three days have passed, the sad atmosphere has not dissipated.

In the previous incident, most of the lower house disciples were killed or injured. Many relatives and friends of the surviving disciples died three days ago.

"I don't know who is behind the chaos." Chen Mu frowned and looked towards Chongmei Mountain.

During these three days, Dean Huang Ju and Elder Lian Xi flew around to investigate, and the surviving disciples were interrogated several times by the Inspection Office.

Fortunately, there were many disciples who survived. With the help of the shape-changing technique and the breath-stopping ability, Chen Mu could easily get away with it by pretending to be Li Moliang.

But no one has ever found out who is behind the chaos.

"It doesn't look like a method used by the Dragon Locking Institute." Chen Mu shook his head. He always felt that the restriction that attracted the ghost monsters was a little strange.

"I wonder which lower house these surviving disciples will be assigned to." His thoughts wandered as he smelled the constant scent of firewood and fireworks.

Previously, the ground veins of the lower branch of Dianhe were destroyed by a strange monster, and the disciples in the branch were divided among different places. The lower branch of Yunchong received quite a few of them.

Chen Mu guessed that the survivors, including himself, would most likely be assigned to other lower houses nearby.

……

Half a month later, early morning, Mount Chongmei.

Chen Mu sat in front of the jade window, slowly opened his eyes, and a look of joy flashed across his face.

"Seventeen days."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the recovery period after each spiritual practice is about half a month to twenty days."

"According to this calculation, seventy-two qualitative changes will only take more than three years but less than four years." Chen Mu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Even if we look at the entire Yunzhou, his speed must be among the best.

"Good things happen to good people."

By collecting the ghosts, he indirectly saved hundreds and nearly a thousand disciples from the lower courtyard, and he also had enough Hun Yuan Qi to practice. This is a win-win situation!

As for whether the person behind the scenes wins or not...

"Well, seeing how the two elders Lian and Huang are in such a state of panic, I think the person behind the scenes will also be able to win...haha!"
