My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 648 Deed

"Where is the outer battlefield? Of course it's outside the sky."

Inside the Wanjing Cave, Hu Buwei sat behind the counter and said expressionlessly.

"Can you be more specific?" Chen Mu continued with a smile.

Hu Buwei really didn't want to answer. He had already found out clearly that it was this guy in front of him who made up the rumor about him, saying that he had the secret to quickly master the art of exorcising evil spirits, and would teach it as long as he was given enough white jade.

The Taoist apprentices thought he really had some secret teachings, and came to him every day to seek advice in different ways.

Core disciples like Lu Han and Yang Fu believed that this was his new trick to deceive Bai Yu, so they would come to Wanjing Cave to show their faces whenever they had time, saying that they could help with sales as long as they were given enough commission.

Now he and Jiushou are connected by fate, and the man and the demon are working hard to reshape the body of the demon to prolong their lifespan. But the constant flow of people coming to the Wanjing Cave makes it impossible for him and Jiushou to concentrate on their cultivation.

Could it be that this guy has noticed the existence of Jiushou?

Hu Buwei looked at the smiling Chen Mu, his expression unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.

The other party has intercepted more than ten original energies of the Nine Heads, so there is no guarantee that he will be able to detect the Nine Heads!

Deliberately spreading rumors to get yourself into trouble is to get more people to stare at you.

Wait until I reveal my true identity, and then use the Baihuan Sect to kill me and Jiushou together?

Hu Buwei's heart skipped a beat.

Insidious! Insidious! So insidious!

"The outer battlefield is also called the Tianxing battlefield. You can see the specific location if you look up at night." He tried to remain calm.

Can you see it by looking up at night?

Is it the stars in the sky?

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

As early as when he heard the name of the Tianxing battlefield, he had guessed it. But when he really confirmed the answer, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The stars in the sky are so far away that Chen Mu never expected that there would be demons invading the stars above his head.

But what's going on with this skinny old man in front of me?

Compared with two months ago, his vitality and rhythm are like a completely different person.

The initial illusion of déjà vu disappeared completely.

This old guy really has some problems.

Chen Mu pretended to look at Hu Buwei casually.

Then he discovered that although this old man seemed calm and composed, he was actually sizing him up secretly!

The two fearful guys looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat.

It's going to happen!

Then, both of them smiled sincerely at the same time.

"Elder Hu, I want to buy a copy of the 'Supplement to the Demon Atlas'. Could you please give me a copy of the official jade slip?" Chen Mu handed Hu Buwei a black leather book with a respectful look on his face.

"I have to make it clear to you that this map is from 30 years ago and can only be used as a reference." Hu unskillfully took out a long wooden box from under the counter and added with concern: "Whether these demons are still causing chaos in the sky now, no one knows."

"No latest version?" Chen Mu asked in surprise.

"The Demon Atlas in Qianji Sect changes every three years. It would cost a lot of Taoist power to buy them all."

"You are going to Qianji Sect to be butchers. It is enough for you to know how to break the evil spells. There is actually no need to know other things." Hu Buwei explained patiently.

So stingy!

They are reluctant to update the teaching materials, so how can we expect to train good Taoist soldiers?

No wonder the Baihuan Sect ranked last among the ninety-nine sects in Haizhou. Even the low-ranking Taoshan Temple, also located in the southwest of Haizhou, dared to abduct Baihuan Sect's Taoist apprentices and jumped up and down from time to time.

"Chenghui thirty-seven white jades, what do you think?"

"It's better to buy it and have a reference than to be completely in the dark."

After paying the white jade, Chen Mu bowed slightly and quickly walked out of the Wanjing Cave.

After walking a short distance, Chen Mu looked back at the dark doorway and couldn't help but shake his head.

You can’t come to Wanjing Cave anymore from now on.

Although he was not afraid of this old and frail Qi-refining master, it was better to have less trouble than more, so it was better to have as little contact with him as possible.

Fortunately, in two months, I will be able to sign the Taoist Soldier Contract and leave Baihuan Sect.

Chen Mu just hopes that Old Man Hu won’t do anything naughty during this period.

otherwise……

……

The weather is getting warmer day by day.

Chen Mu stayed in the cave on the cliff almost the entire day without going out.

He specially released the Zhuyu magic sword to monitor Hu Buwei for several days. Seeing that the other party had been guarding the Wanjing Cave and had not done anything unusual, he felt relieved.

"No matter what this old man is planning, just don't hinder me from joining the Qianji Sect."

After that, he waited patiently while busying himself with his own practice.

Either he would refine the innate energy and the cold white mist to nourish the body of the celestial demon, or he would study the secret techniques on the gray wall that had not yet been fully practiced.

In his spare time, he would appreciate the jade slips of demon maps.

Compared with the vice-executive scrolls, the official scrolls were recorded in Jiewen, with both sound and light text, which he used to watch as a documentary to relax. During this period, Lu Han also called together two Taoist apprentices.

On the one hand, he introduced them to the Tianxing battlefield and the related matters of the contract signing, and on the other hand, he let them gather together to practice the secret life-saving method of sealing the magic spell.

Many Taoist apprentices who passed the assessment took the opportunity to propose forming an alliance so that they could take care of each other after reaching outer space.

Some people tried to win over Chen Mu, but he always declined with a smile.

This so-called alliance sounded very troublesome. Ten people might form twelve alliances. He didn't want to get involved.

After each rehearsal, he would immediately return to the cave.

Not long after the party, Chen Mu began to seriously study the Taoist Soldier Contract.

After comparing for a long time, I finally chose the deed with the letter A.

Although the 190%-to-1 contract is quite unscrupulous, the term of service is the shortest among the four contracts.

He became a Taoist soldier just to enter Qianji Sect through this method.

Once you get inside, as long as you pay attention, you can always find a way to obtain the secret techniques.

Ten years is long enough to be controlled by others.

Besides, if ten years is not enough, I can sign a new contract at that time. It is not right to tie myself to Qianji Sect for decades all at once.

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, the day for signing the contract arrived before we knew it.

……

On this day, early in the morning, as the sun was rising, more than a hundred Taoist apprentices gathered at the gate of Qingqiu Palace.

In front of the main hall, on the open space paved with bluestone slabs, there stood a dark square tripod.

Zheng Bailian, the leader of Baihuan Sect, stood in front of the cauldron facing south.

He put the middle and index fingers of his right hand together and placed them in front of his chest, then he closed his eyes and chanted the Pure Yang Mantra continuously.

Invisible forces radiated from him in all directions, and the falling leaves were pushed to the edge little by little by this wave.

At a certain moment, the stars that had disappeared in the sky suddenly flashed brightly.

An invisible and powerful force suddenly appeared in the sky.

The thin clouds, which were already few in number, were immediately dispersed.

Even the thick clouds that had shrouded Qingqiu Mountain all year round were swept away to the horizon by an invisible force.

The sky above the entire Qingqiu Mountain was clear and bright, as if it had been washed.

Zheng Bailian let out a long breath and bowed respectfully towards the sky: "Please welcome Taoist Master Chunyang!"

boom!

A ball of transparent flame with strands of golden threads suddenly appeared in the square cauldron.

As the flame flickered, not a single bit of heat radiated around.

"Hurry up and hand over the deed!" Zheng Bailian spoke with a serious face.

The many Taoist apprentices standing behind Zheng Bailian immediately stepped forward and threw the gold-inlaid jade tablets into the flames one by one according to the order they had arranged before.

Chen Mu, who was mixed in the crowd, also moved forward in an orderly manner.

In his hand he held a jade tablet as long as his forearm, which was the contract he was going to sign.

There is a Jie Wen record of the detailed contents of the contract inside, which has been infused with enough magic power in advance and signed with one's real name.

All that was left was to report the contract to Taoist Master Chunyang and draw on his power to bear witness, and then he would be completely successful.

More than a hundred people came forward in an orderly manner, and soon it was Chen Mu's turn. He followed the others and threw the jade slip into the square tripod.

The jade tablet inlaid with gold threads floated in the flames, and in just a moment it turned into green smoke and flew into the sky.

Immediately, a calm and indifferent gaze suddenly emanated from the colorless flame.

Chen Mu's whole body stiffened, and he felt like a horse at the foot of a towering mountain, suddenly being stared at by a huge monster that blocked out the sky and the sun.

Is there really the sight of Taoist Master Chunyang in this flame?

How could such a powerful being, who had achieved enlightenment for who knows how many years, come to look at a small person like me?

Or is it that the Taoist master has boundless magical powers, and just a trace of his strength can cause his spirit to appear?

Chen Mu walked forward mechanically, and only came to his senses when he was seven or eight steps away from the Square Cauldron.

He caught a glimpse of the people who had submitted the deeds earlier, and saw that their faces were turning pale, which made him feel relieved.

Apparently, he was not the only one who had the feeling of being stared at by a giant.

"This power... is really strong."

Chen Mu felt awe in his heart, but also a little yearning was rising.

But before long, his heart sank suddenly.

"Faced with the calamity spell cast by such an existence, will the Nine Lives Calamity Spell really be useful?"

"It's not good..."
