My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 632 Connections

At night, in a cave on the cliff.

While eating the Jinyuan Valley meal, Chen Mu stared at the two secret techniques on the gray wall.

Giant Spirit God: 8196/10000/th level;

Heavenly Demon Armor: 184/10000/Level ;

The two secret arts were his main training projects recently, and he had made good progress in both. Especially the Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Art, which had already entered a new stage yesterday.

"It seems to be beginning to spread inward." Chen Mu was thoughtful, carefully experiencing the changes in the secret technique.

The previous Heavenly Demon Armor was like a layer of armor for myself. After entering the seventh level, the Heavenly Demon Armor began to penetrate into the body. It seemed to be engraved into every inch of muscle and skin, becoming a natural armor.

"The secret method of innate body protection?"

"Similar to the Five Dragon Dharma Image and the Five Thunder Curse?"

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and understood.

"But it seems more plain and a little bit outrageous."

The Five Dragons Sutra and the Five Thunder Scroll use the power of Yin spirits and magic power respectively to construct the protective Qi.

The Heavenly Demon Armor was similar in the early stages, but changed after entering the seventh stage.

It began to reshape its body, as if to carve this layer of armor directly into its body, making it an innate part of it.

"After practicing for a long time, won't it be true that you will be able to have your own protective Qi like a demon from outer space?"

"This is a bit like the celestial demon heretic."

The Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method can cultivate the Heavenly Demon's true body and transform it into a Heavenly Demon god or devil, which will naturally bring with it the Qi.

This Heavenly Demon Armor seems to have taken some of the magical effects of the Heavenly Demon, allowing the practitioner to possess some of the power of the Heavenly Demon's true body without having to transform into the Heavenly Demon's true body.

"Interesting." Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Unfortunately, it will be difficult to quickly gain experience for the Heavenly Demon Armor in the future."

The Heavenly Demon Armor is similar to the Giant Spirit God. The training speed is very fast in the early stage, but the more time and energy it takes to gain experience, the more time and energy it takes.

Just like the growth of fruit, it needs enough time to germinate.

"Practice slowly."

He had a lot of experience with this kind of secret method that was easy to learn but difficult to master. He only needed to put it into the secret method that he must practice every day, and when the time came, he would naturally reap a lot.

"The sixth-level Heavenly Demon Armor can absorb and contain the energy forbidden for a hundred miles, and has the additional ability to protect the upper fetus spirit god."

"I don't know what other changes this seventh-level secret technique can bring. If there's a chance, maybe I can find some demon blood and try it out."

After thinking for a while, Chen Mu dispelled his distracting thoughts.

"The most urgent thing is to think about what to do with this military contract."

Thinking of the invisible constraints of the contract, the originally sweet and delicious Jinyuan Valley became a little hard to swallow.

"If you really sign the Dao Soldier Contract, it would be like tying yourself up in chains. Although it is said that you will not let the Dao Soldier deliberately die, but...what if it happens?"

He has been staying in Wanjing Cave for the past few days investigating, but has not found any clues.

"Is there no one trying to exploit the loophole in this contract?"

"No way..."

He didn't believe that the Qi-refining master from Haizhou would be so honest.

……

A few days later, he was imprisoned in Yun Valley.

As usual, Chen Mu dug up 100 kilograms of demon stone early. Ignoring the strange looks from other people in his group, he picked up his backpack and prepared to leave Prison Valley.

But before he had gone far, he was stopped by Lu Han, a man with a full beard.

"Tell me, what's the meaning of going to Wanjing Cave every day instead of practicing your magic to break the evil spirits?" He said with a serious face.

That expression was just like the one of his homeroom teacher in his previous life. The solemn look made Chen Mu's heart skip a beat.

He didn't dare to hide it, and quickly explained: "You don't know how poor the environment I practiced in was before. If I wanted to learn a secret method, I had to dig up other people's graves."

"But now those unattainable secret techniques can be found everywhere in the Wanjing Cave. I... I just want to learn more secret techniques to keep myself on the road." He spoke nonsense with sincerity.

Hearing this, Lu Han said with sympathy: "Bullshit!"

"I've been wandering around Wanjing Cave for half a month, and I haven't seen you buy a secret method to practice."

"I'm really overwhelmed by the choices." Chen Mu responded with a smile.

"I think your intention to learn the secret technique is fake, and your real intention is to take advantage of the loopholes in the Taoist Soldier Contract." Lu Han looked calm.

Is this... so obvious?

"You're not the only one with a smart brain." Lu Han said with a smile.

What do you mean?

Chen Mu was stunned.

"Why do those Qi-refining masters of your peers try to show their affection to me every day? Just to learn how to break the magic?" Lu Han's face was full of amusement.

"Senior Brother Lu, you... have a way!" Chen Mu was immediately delighted.

Yes.

The Baihuan Sect sends a batch of Taoist soldiers to the Qianji Sect every three years. If you want to know who knows the Taoist soldier contract best, it must be Lu Han and other people in the Baihuan Sect!

No wonder those guys were hanging around Lu Han all day long, it turns out they had this in mind.

I was still struggling to find information, but those bastards were actually thinking of taking shortcuts!

"Senior Brother Lu, you recruited me personally!" Chen Mu held Lu Han's hand with a sincere look on his face.

"Which one of you wasn't recruited by me personally?" Lu Han rolled his eyes and wanted to pull his hand away.

But just as he was about to exert force, he felt something heavy in his palm. A small cloth bag appeared in his hand.

The tinkling sound feels like bright jade... "It has a future." Lu Han laughed and turned his hand to put the cloth bag into his sleeve.

"Go to Wanjing Cave and look for old man Hu Buwei."

"Remember, you have to say that I introduced you. If you don't, you won't be able to exchange for the secret technique." Lu Han took the money and did the job, and gave the instructions with a serious look on his face.

Chen Mu was immediately overjoyed.

After working hard for more than half a month, I finally found a way.

He immediately bowed to Lu Han, said goodbye, turned around and ran out of the Prison Valley.

……

Hu Buwei is a short, skinny old man with gray hair and beard. He sits lazily behind the counter at the entrance of Wanjing Cave every day.

He looks inconspicuous, even a little ugly, but he is actually the guardian of the Wanjing Cave. He is an elder of the Baihuan Sect and has the same status as the Sutra Transmission Doctor Chuan Chang.

Chen Mu went to Wanjing Cave for more than ten days, and each time he gave the other party a white jade as the fee for reading the classics, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

At the entrance of Wanjing Cave, Chen Mu walked to the counter and immediately bowed with his fists clasped.

“Elder Hu, I was introduced by Senior Brother Lu Hanlu. I heard that you have some secret techniques.”

Hu Buwei smiled playfully when he heard this: "It took you more than half a month to find a way. You're not very smart."

Chen Mu's face suddenly turned dark.

This old man must have known what I was looking for a long time ago, but he didn't do anything about it after so many days, and just hid behind the counter every day and laughed at himself.

Not a nice guy!

"Let me make it clear first. My method of avoiding disasters and escaping misfortunes can at most give you some wiggle room, but you won't be afraid of being thrown into the death squad by force."

"But if you want to use it to betray the contract and become a deserter, that is definitely impossible."

This is the secret technique I want!

Chen Mu was delighted.

If it was a secret method that could completely bypass the constraints of the contract, he would not dare to ask for it.

That's purely deceiving.

Hu Buwei did not waste any time and immediately handed Chen Mu a book with a black cover and curled pages at the corners.

Chen Mu took it and opened it.

The technique of using a spirit puppet to replace a dead body, the technique of using a dead body as a substitute, the technique of using a straw man to make wedding clothes...more than ten secret techniques suddenly came into his sight.

"All of these are the top secret techniques of my Baihuan Sect. All they cost is five thousand white jades. You can choose one and learn it."

"Come on, tell me which one you want." Hu Buwei smiled and stared at Chen Mu eagerly.

Five thousand white jades?

Isn't this a bit too expensive?

Chen Mu's scalp tightened.

In total, he only had more than 30,000 but less than 40,000 white jades on him. Now he had to give away nearly one-sixth of them, which really hurt him.

"You think it's too expensive?" Hu Buwei looked at Chen Mu with a sidelong glance, full of contempt: "If you think it's too expensive, you can bargain!"

Chen Mu: “…”

What you said really makes sense.

"How about three thousand white jades?" Chen Mu gritted his teeth and chopped hard.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Hu Buwei immediately nodded happily with a laugh.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment.

Did I shout too loudly?

"Come on, come on, which one do you like? Give me the white jade and I'll give you the jade tablet." Hu Buwei's skinny face immediately showed wrinkles when he smiled.

He reached under the counter and pulled out a rustling cloth bag. When he opened it, he saw that the inside was filled with jade tablets as long as his forearm, just like the other person's white radish.

I must have shouted too loud!

Chen Mu's face twitched.

"Are you overwhelmed by the choices?" Hu Buwei said with a smile: "How about I help you pick one?"

Is there a shopping guide service here?

Chen Mu was immediately interested.

If anyone is familiar with these secrets, it must be the black-hearted old man in front of him. He has been selling these secrets for many years and must be familiar with their advantages and disadvantages.

"The basic effects of these more than ten secret techniques are similar, but the upper limits are different." Hu Buwei twirled his beard and shook his head.

“Things with higher aspirations are often easier to learn than to master, but they can go further.”

“Those with lower intentions may not make much progress, but they are easier to get started with and the effects can be seen immediately.”

"you……"

"I choose the one with a higher purpose." Chen Mu nodded decisively.

He has a gray wall assist, so of course he should choose one with a high upper limit.

"That's settled." Hu Buwei nodded, then put his hand in front of Chen Mu and rubbed his five fingers together.

"Sincerely, three hundred white jades."

Chen Mu: “…”

You are just trying to take advantage of anyone you can get.

Sure enough, the price I just quoted was definitely too high!
