My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 623: Hundred Illusions

Late at night.

Chen Mu hummed a little tune as he left the Frost Red Building and strolled along the brightly lit streets.

Although it was already late at night, the streets were crowded with people, not less. Instead, they were getting busier. Bargaining, chatting, singing, and storytelling were heard one after another.

"These people who practice cultivation and refine qi are really enduring." Chen Mu laughed cheerfully.

As long as the Qigong practitioner passes the first level and combines his essence, energy and spirit to form the jade seed, he will be able to seal his own essence, energy and spirit and prevent them from leaking out.

Because of this, this group of people are busy practicing and making a living during the day, but they also don't miss out on shopping and having fun at night.

Therefore, no matter whether it is day or night, there are always people on the streets in the water palace.

"Tsk tsk, if those slaves from my previous life knew about this, wouldn't they be envious to death?"

Fortunately, fortunately I am also a Qi Refiner.

Hey!

Chen Mu walked slowly while happily thinking about random things.

At a certain moment, a powerful rhythm flashed from the edge of the Di Ting magical power.

He couldn't help but look at the gate of the water palace in the distance.

This rhythm of qi...

Why does it sound familiar?

The Lord Jiao of the Water Palace? Something doesn't seem right.

Chen Mu scratched his head.

No matter who he is, he must be a great figure in the Tongmai Realm like Lord Jiao.

After spending more than half a year in Dingyou Tianhe Water Palace, he had already found out that the Palace Master Jiao of Dingyou Water Palace was a high-level cultivator who had practiced the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method to the Tongmai realm.

He has cultivated a complete celestial demon body, which is comparable to a Taoist Qi-refining practitioner. In Yunzhou, he is definitely a master of one of the Taoist sects.

"In a remote water palace, I encountered two high-level cultivators who seemed to have reached the perfect state of Taoism."

"The Qi-refining forces in Haizhou are indeed stronger than those in Yunzhou."

"My own little Heche cultivation is still not good enough."

"It's time to consider subsequent practice." Chen Mu thought thoughtfully.

……

The next day, in the small courtyard.

Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair, thinking about various information.

He stayed in Dingyou Water Palace for half a year. With his divine power of listening, he got a lot of information without having to collect it specially.

"Each of the ninety-nine sects in Haizhou has a copy of the Dao Foundation Atlas. But it may not be possible to obtain this inheritance from them." Chen Mu seemed to be thinking about something.

According to the information obtained, the Ninety-Nine Sects are different from traditional sects. They are more like private properties under the command of the sect leaders.

The purpose of establishing a sect is not to pass on heritage, but to earn Taoist merits for the sect leaders so that they can exchange them for various resources and secret techniques from the Qianji Sect.

Training Taoist soldiers for Qianji Sect is its main method.

As it is, it is naturally impossible for each sect to hand over the Dao Base Atlas to their disciples.

"I guess the Qianji Sect wouldn't allow them to spread their secret techniques like this."

"Those who need the Dao Base Atlas are all Qi Refiners who have mastered the Heche."

"People like this have both magical powers and secret techniques. With a little training, they can become high-end combat soldiers. Qianji Sect will not let these people hide in Haizhou." Chen Mu seemed to be thinking about something.

"After all, we still have to go to Qianji Sect."

In Haizhou, if you want to join Qianji Sect, the best way is to become a Taoist soldier.

"It's time to find out about the Baihuan Sect."

The Baihuan Sect is located in the Misty Forest, closest to the Dingyou Water Palace. It is a top-grade sect that can train Taoist soldiers for the Qianji Sect.

……

There is an inconspicuous shop at the end of Suanni Street. On the black plaque at the door are three ancient characters "Baihuan Pavilion".

Chen Mu stood not far away and observed for a long time, but did not see anyone go in.

According to the information he had inquired about, this was the Baihuan Sect's base in Dingyou Water Palace. If you wanted to participate in the Baihuan Sect's Taoist training, you could sign up here.

"Why does it look a bit... deserted?"

"Please don't let there be any problem." Chen Mu couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Just as he was hesitating, an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard in black robe came up to him and said with a smile: "Little brother, do you want to join the Qianji Sect as a Taoist soldier?"

"That's true." Chen Mu nodded without hiding it.

"Please follow me, we will talk in detail inside the house." The old Taoist smiled warmly and led Chen Mu to Baihuan Pavilion...opposite door.

This... is this also the headquarters of the Baihuan Sect?

What does it mean to open a branch opposite the door?

Chen Mu was full of suspicion.

"Little brother, you should know that there are differences between Taoist soldiers and other Taoist soldiers." The white-haired old Taoist said with a laugh.

"I'd like to hear the details." Chen Mu didn't rush to leave. He wanted to hear what the old Taoist said.

"Young brother, if you want to be a Taoist soldier of Qianji Sect, it must be to exchange your Taoist skills for resources and secret techniques." The old Taoist in black robe had a confident look on his face.

“But there are also some tricks to obtaining this skill,” he explained with a smile.

"If I become a logistics support soldier, peeling the skin and removing the bones of demon corpses, not only will the working environment be harsh, but I will also have to face the backlash of the demon's energy."

“But even so, the Taoist skills gained are very few.” “But it’s different for combat soldiers.” The old Taoist in black robe raised his eyebrows.

"As long as the secret technique you practice is strong enough, it will be easy to kill demons. This way you can earn a lot of Dao merit."

"Whether it's the complete acupuncture point condensation method or various pills for strengthening the essence, they will be available soon."

"Little brother, you have to know that the path of cultivation is one that is fast at each step. If you don't fight hard, how can you fight for the immortality of the soul?" He spoke earnestly.

So……

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the old Taoist in black robe.

"So, you have to come to our Taoshan Temple to practice."

I knew you were not from the Baihuan Sect!

"The leader of the Baihuan Sect was born a butcher, and the Taoist soldiers he trained were all butchers' auxiliary soldiers."

"Not only is the amount of Dao Merit I earned very little, but the General Guidelines for Confused Gods given by the sect is only of low quality."

"When you have completed the Condensation of the Acupoints and have trained the River Wheel, all your magical power will be drained out, and the most you can do at one time is to stimulate one innate qi."

"Our cage secret record is different. We can give birth to three innate qi at once!"

"Come to our Taoshan Temple. Only by coming to us can you have a greater chance of embarking on the path of the soul!" The old Taoist in black robe looked confident.

Chen Mu: “…”

Is it a lot to give birth to three congenital qi at one time?

He glanced at the nine innate qi floating in the jade seed, and then looked at the black-robed old Taoist who was full of confidence.

The Baihuan Sect does not sound very good, but the Taoshan Temple seems... not very good either.

……

A few days later.

In the small courtyard of Chaofeng Lane.

Chen Mu sat under the wooden pavilion and looked at the two entries on the gray wall in front of him.

Giant Spirit God: 4546/10000/th level;

Heavenly Demon Armor: 183/10000/Level ;

The Five Thunder Scroll was completed, and the cleansing of the divine orifice was finished. Chen Mu had devoted most of his time these days to these two secret arts, and his experience was increasing rapidly.

The Giant Spirit God has almost reached the eighth level, and the Heavenly Demon Armor has entered a whole new level.

hum!

As soon as the thought came to his mind, a layer of transparent armor instantly covered his entire body.

The difference is that inside this transparent armor, there are some curled and entangled transparent patterns that look like water marks.

These patterns are delicate and complex. If you look closely, you will find that they are like a kaleidoscope, constantly rotating and changing, as if they can capture people's souls.

"The secret technique of restricting the flow of qi for 100 miles?!"

Chen Mu couldn't help scratching his head.

Since the Heavenly Demon Armor advanced, he had been pondering its changes in the past two days. He soon discovered that the power filled in the transparent armor was very similar to the Qi Confinement Hundred Miles.

He has mastered the secret art of Qi Confinement for Hundred Miles for more than ten years, and knows clearly that this secret art with infinite uses is actually some kind of innate magical power of the Yun Shen Tian Yao body.

Now this magical power has been copied by the Heavenly Demon Armor...

Chen Mu stared at the gray wall, carefully examining the insights gained from its feedback.

"Can the Heavenly Demon Armor contain and absorb the protective magical powers of demons?!"

After a long while, Chen Mu came back to his senses.

No wonder Yulin’s Heavenly Demon Armor is as black as ink and covered with spikes. It is very likely that this function is the result of him absorbing some kind of demonic magical power.

"However, Yulin's Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique is only at the third level. It can change the nature of the Heavenly Demon Armor. It must be a shortcut. What it absorbed is just the body protection magic of ordinary beasts."

Chen Mu understood.

"The secret techniques acquired by the seven brothers of Wushan are indeed very useful. Perhaps they all come from the Thousand Mountains Sutra."

"The graves they dug must have been unusual."

"The fragments of the Thousand Mountains Sutra in the possession of the tomb owner are probably a fairly complete secret scroll."

"The fragments are so mysterious, how mysterious and extraordinary will the complete Thousand Mountains Sutra be?" Chen Mu sighed with regret as he poured the snow-white fish fillets of the exotic beast into the Hunyuan furnace.

Shaking his head and not thinking any more, he began to concentrate on dealing with the delicious food on the table.

After the meal, let the five little paper ghosts clean up the mess.

Chen Mu lay down in the rocking chair and relaxed.

Many days have passed since I went to Baihuan Pavilion to check out the place.

Although he was pulled away by the white-haired Taoist priest from Taoshan Temple halfway, combined with the information he got from restaurants and teahouses, he already had a comprehensive understanding of Taoshan Temple and Baihuan Sect.

The secret techniques of Taoshan Temple are mysterious and powerful. Although it is not a top-grade sect, it can send its own Taoist soldiers into Qianji Sect through other top-grade sects.

The Baihuan Sect can directly supply Taoist soldiers to the Qianji Sect, but all it trains are butcher auxiliary soldiers. Not only is the work dirty and tiring, but the Taoist skills they gain are also pitifully small.

and so……

"So I still have to choose the Baihuan Sect." Chen Mu had already made up his mind.

One is a soldier on the front line, and the other is a supporting soldier staying in the rear.

It was true that he wanted the Dao Base Atlas, but he had no intention of being a cannon fodder.

"Fighting and killing don't suit my character, so being a logistics support soldier is more suitable for me."
