My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 660 Return to Qingqiu

Three months later, in the evening.

In Quecheng, a small town in the southernmost part of Haizhou, smoke is rising.

In an alley, a short and fat middle-aged man was holding a piece of bacon in his right hand, humming a little tune, and walking home happily.

He felt a strange itch on the back of his hand, and he slapped his left hand with his right hand as if by reflex.

"When the weather gets hot, mosquitoes start to bother us." The middle-aged man complained as he looked at the mosquito that was slapped flat on the back of his hand.

only……

"Why is this mosquito blood red all over? I've never seen one like this before." Just as he was wondering, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above his head.

Looking up out of curiosity, I saw a large blood-colored cloud suddenly falling into the alley.

But after a closer look, I found that it was not clouds at all, but bloody mosquitoes.

Before he could wave his hands to drive them away, the swarm of mosquitoes swarmed over and enveloped him.

After a short scream, the middle-aged man fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and then became completely motionless.

In the blink of an eye, blood-red mist flew up into the sky. The short and fat middle-aged man had turned into a dried-up corpse with skin and bones.

buzzing...

A scarlet cloud came from the north and rushed straight into Que City.

Suddenly, screams rang out one after another.

……

The next day, thousands of strong Taoist soldiers appeared at the gate of Que City.

The leader Hu Buwei waved the purple flag in his hand with a serious expression.

Countless jade-white butterflies flew out from the bodies of thousands of strong Taoist soldiers. They rushed into the sky in groups, and in the blink of an eye they turned into points of spiritual light and sank into the city.

hum!

It was like poking a beehive, countless blood-red mosquitoes flew out and pounced on thousands of soldiers.

But when it was only halfway through its flight, it seemed to be sprayed with insecticide and fell to the ground.

It didn't take long before a thick layer covered the ground.

"It's still too late after all."

Twenty miles away, Chen Mu frowned and walked slowly with Lu Han and others.

The divine power of listening has already explored the distant Que City clearly. The entire city has a population of tens of thousands, but only a few people survived.

The crack in the sky healed, the demons lost their source, and their escape route was cut off, so they scattered all over Haizhou.

In the past three months, Chen Mu has been traveling around with the Baihuan Department, constantly clearing out demons and strange beasts.

The places where Qi Refiners gather are slightly better, but the areas where ordinary people live are mostly empty.

There are countless cities that have encountered the same fate as Quecheng.

"Let's go. It's time to serve the bell ancestor." Lu Han called out to Chen Mu weakly from a distance.

The man who used to be tall and strong now had unsteady steps.

Chen Mu's mouth twitched.

In the past two months, apart from traveling and resting, they had spent almost all their time creating magical sealing power.

Draining mana, restoring mana, and draining mana again, this cycle repeats itself, and even Chen Mu feels quite a headache with his cultivation level. The other Taoist soldiers and Qi cultivators all suffered great loss of vitality.

"At least I don't have to face those weird monsters head-on." Lu Han was quite open-minded.

"When we return to Qingqiu Mountain in a few days, we'll just eat more Jinyuan Valley to replenish our body." He said happily.

"Brother, what news did you hear?"

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

"That's obvious."

"Quecheng is already the southernmost part of Haizhou. Further south is the boundless ocean. We are not in charge of that place."

"After finishing the work, we naturally have to go back to the mountain." Lu Han said.

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

For more than three months, Qianji Sect led the ninety-nine sects in Haizhou to expand in all directions and continuously eliminate demons.

At this point, it's almost time to end.

……

More than ten days later.

The top of Qingqiu Mountain.

The original Qingqiu Palace has disappeared, replaced by an exquisite Taoist temple with white walls and black tiles.

There are two octagonal pavilions on the open space not far in front of the Taoist temple.

At this moment, a group of people were queuing up and walking into the pavilion one by one.

The Haizhou demon rebellion has been basically quelled, and Chen Mu and others were summoned here today to reward them for their merits.

"Five hundred and forty-five Taoist points, three thousand two hundred and seven white jades, and a copy of the Spirit Fox Secret Book. Take them." The old Taoist surnamed Mao, with white hair and beard, handed a wooden box to Chen Mu.

"Thank you, senior brother." Chen Mu walked forward respectfully, without even looking at him, and directly hugged him in his arms.

The old Taoist in front of him was the Taoist named Mao from Taoshan Temple who had recruited him.

The other party also survived this disaster, but...

Chen Mu looked at the other's empty left sleeve. "I'm lucky to have survived this disaster." The old man surnamed Mao noticed Chen Mu's gaze and shook his head with a sigh.

This was their third meeting. Thinking back on the events of the past year, he couldn't help but sigh at how unpredictable the world is.

“Now you have completely entered Taoshan Temple, and we will be considered a family in the future. You must work hard when you go to Qianji Sect.” The old man surnamed Mao encouraged, and then called the people behind him to come forward.

Chen Mu bowed slightly again, then walked out of the pavilion holding the wooden box, and walked down the stone steps to the top of the mountain.

This was the third day since he returned to Qingqiu Mountain.

The whereabouts of Zheng Bailian, the leader of Baihuan Sect, is unknown. Hu Buwei is the only elder left in the sect. There are less than a hundred disciples, and the sect is in name only.

Under the leadership of Qianji Sect's elder Yan Ming, Taoshan Temple was formed with the remnants of Baihuan Sect and those who participated in the encirclement and suppression as the main force, and the new Taoshan Temple was stationed in Qingqiu Mountain.

……

Inside the cliff cave.

Chen Mu opened the wooden box, put the white jade into the Five Ghosts Bag, took out the Jade Slip of the Spirit Fox Secret Book and began to read it.

This secret book belongs to the Baihuan Sect and is one of the conditions for the Baihuan Sect to recruit Taoist soldiers.

It should have been distributed on the day they signed the Taoist Soldier Contract, but unfortunately due to the demonic changes in the sky, it has been delayed until today.

"Sure enough, there are only two levels of training methods for Ningqiao and Heche, and the Daoji Atlas is not in it." After a while, Chen Mu regained his composure, shook his head and sighed.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this and did not feel much regret.

The ninety-nine sects in Haizhou are subordinate to Qianji Sect. Without the permission of Qianji Sect, they dare not and cannot teach the Daoji Atlas.

"We have to go to the Tianxing battlefield after all." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

The demonic chaos had just passed, and he still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.

The green worm poison is really strange. Who knows if there are similar evil secret techniques on the Tianxing battlefield.

I was lucky this time to have the Delusion and Seven Emotions Flame to save my life, but what about next time?

"It's really not easy to condense the foundation of Taoism." Chen Mu sighed again.

Just a secret method was enough to choke him. The difficulties he encountered afterwards were probably even more difficult to count.

But Chen Mu was even more unwilling to stop there and hide in Qiandeng City to live his own life.

One reason is that I want to see the scenery at a higher level.

But more importantly...

"If I don't have enough strength, I can't live a peaceful life even if I want to."

Qiandeng City was not perfect after all, and he would have to leave someday. If he didn't have the power to guarantee it, he might run into trouble.

Just like before in Peach Blossom Valley, he hid in Qiandeng City most of the time, but when he went out to gather information, he was possessed by the Green Worm Gu.

Chen Mu called up the gray wall and checked the skill experience on it.

Now that he has no Dao Base Atlas, the Heavenly Demon Body has reached a bottleneck and is growing slowly. If he wants to increase his own strength, he can only gain experience in secret techniques.

Giant Spirit God: 9202/10000/th level;

Pulling machine method: 7065/10000/sixth level;

Soul-recovering and Soul-restoring Technique: 8475/10000/Level ;

Heavenly Demon Armor: 9706/10000/Level ;

Ten-Direction Hand: 6534/10000/Level ;

Listening to the Dharma: Limits;

Three Yin Slaughtering Hex: Extreme;

These seven secret techniques all came from the Wushan brothers. Now, as their experience in secret techniques increases, they become more and more extraordinary.

"The Giant Spirit God and the Heavenly Demon Armor have reached a very advanced stage. Their progress has slowed down. We can only rely on time to improve."

"The traction method is mainly used to control the magic weapon flying sword. It is sufficient for the current use."

"The Soul-Restoring Technique can devour the vitality of living beings to restore itself. It's too weird. Besides, I still have the Soul-Restoring Soup and Soul-Nourishing Wine, so I'm not in a hurry to practice it."

"So, I still have to practice the Ten Direction Hands."

Before, when he was at Taoshan Temple, he was planning to give Shifangshou some experience.

But later he was pulled away to serve as a mobile mana source for the Taoist warriors, which delayed him for some time.

But even so, he took the time to master this secret technique, which he had never touched since he obtained it, and it reached more than half of the second level.

Chen Mu spread out his palms and slowly clenched his fists.

hum!

A force filled the fist, and the surrounding air even began to tremble slightly.

"Focus on one point?"

"Not bad." Chen Mu shrugged.

As his cultivation level improved, he used more and more secret techniques. The close combat became less and less frequent, but that didn't mean he didn't fight at all.

Moreover, he had practiced a lot and in a variety of ways along the way, and his body had undergone several transformations, becoming as strong as a monster. In addition, he also had the method of increasing strength like the Giant Spirit God. His strength was too strong, and his original means of control were not enough.

"I just need a method that can integrate the whole body's strength as a trump card."

"That's it."
