My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 669 Plan

Tianguan City, Yangdufang in the east of the city.

In the courtyard with white walls and black tiles, a long desk is placed in front of the screen wall.

An old man with snow-white eyebrows and beard and no hair on his head sat behind a desk with an expressionless face.

Chen Mu walked forward, bowed slightly, and handed over the identity jade card issued by the Baihuan Sect. At the same time, he used his body to block the sight of others behind him and quietly stuffed a small gray cloth bag into the other person's hand.

The old man raised his brows slightly, turned his wrist, and with a slight clinking sound of white jade, the gray cloth bag disappeared from his wide cuffs.

"Senior, I don't like socializing and want to live in a quiet place." Chen Mu said in a low voice.

"This house has been arranged long ago, so it's not your turn to be picky." The old man scolded impatiently, but nodded slightly to Chen Mu secretly.

"Senior is right. I will live wherever you arrange for me to live." Chen Mu pretended to be frightened.

"That's right. Take your things and go to room 16 in the east wing." The old man nodded slightly, took out a small wooden box from under the table, and handed it to Chen Mu along with the jade identity card.

Chen Mu clasped his fists again, took the things and walked around the screen wall. Three two-story buildings to the north and on both sides came into view.

Chen Mu came to the east wing, followed the middle wooden staircase, and went up to the second floor. Following the small wooden sign hanging at the door, he found the house at the southernmost end.

Pushing open the creaking door, a rather spacious room appeared before my eyes.

"Not bad." Chen Mu looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Before entering the courtyard, he had already used his Divine Listening ability to explore the road. At this moment, this east wing with 16 rooms is considered a pretty good house in the entire courtyard.

"These twenty white jade flowers are worth it." Chen Mu happily opened the wooden box given by the bald old man.

Inside were two palm-sized leather talismans and a fist-sized white porcelain bottle.

The porcelain bottle contained fasting pills, enough for him to consume for half a month.

The leather charms are one for dust avoidance and one for sound insulation, which can keep the room clean and isolate internal and external sounds, and can also last for half a month of use.

This is a benefit for new Taoist soldiers. If you want it again in the future, you have to exchange it for Taoist skills or white jade.

He casually activated two talismans and pasted them on the back of the door.

The dust accumulated in the room was immediately dispersed out of the room through the gaps in the doors and windows.

The sounds of conversation and discussion at the entrance of the courtyard downstairs were also blocked out by the sound of the dead note, and the room quickly returned to silence.

Chen Mu came to the window on the south wall, looked through the jade-like window at the watchtower towering into the clouds in the distance, and let out a long sigh.

"We finally arrived at Tianguan Star safely."

If any of the Chengtian Gourd and the Yuchan Daoji Map were discovered, it could cost him his life.

He had been on tenterhooks since a few days ago.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth without any setbacks or troubles.

……

The Qianji Sect did not disperse the Taoist soldiers. In the Jiwei Courtyard of Jiuliu Lane where Chen Mu was currently, more than half of the people from the Baihuan Sect occupied the area.

Other familiar people were also scattered in the surrounding courtyards, not far away.

In the afternoon, the room assignment and registration were completed, the Qianji Sect personnel at the door left, and the new Taoist soldiers in the courtyard began to bustle in and out.

Some went out for a stroll in Tianguan City, buying bedding, wooden basins, wooden barrels and other daily necessities, while others gathered at the stone table on one side of the patio to chat.

"I plan to go to Tiangongfang in a few days." One person said.

"You want to infuse the awakening bell with magic-sealing power. Aren't you tired of this tiring job?" another person looked surprised.

"It's all because of the lack of Dao power." The man said helplessly: "According to Senior Brother Lu, Qianji Sect will only give us half a month to learn how to kill the monster. If we can't learn it, we can only spend Dao power to ask for advice."

"I don't have the confidence that I can learn how to exorcise demons in half a month. I can only do some hard labor to accumulate Taoist skills."

"Is there no other way to earn Taoist merit?" another person asked.

"I heard that drawing talismans and making tools can gain Taoist power, but I don't know how to do it."

"Alas, it's a pity that Senior Brother Lu and the other seniors have been transferred, otherwise I could ask if there are other ways."

"Who says it's not..."

Everyone was discussing how to earn Dao points. Chen Mu, who was staying in a room on the second floor, was listening to everyone's conversation with his Di-ting ability, while secretly thinking about how to establish himself in cultivation in the future.

He sat at the desk under the window with his eyes half closed, his mind first sank into the cave of Qiandeng City. With the help of his big eyes, he immediately discovered that the huge aura that seemed to be there and not there was still filling the cave.

In front of the three-story wooden building, Chengtian Hulu stood obediently next to the rocking chair, but Meng Qingchan did not appear.

"I don't know how long it will take her to recover." Chen Mu frowned.

As long as Meng Qingchan doesn't leave, he won't be able to feel completely at peace.

Although he wanted to kick Meng Qingchan out of Qiandeng City immediately, it was obviously impossible to do so in a short period of time. He could only wait for the other party to revive and leave the cave on his own.

"Fortunately, Qiandeng City is secretive enough." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the divine bone mirror could not discover it, and other secret techniques could basically not peer into the cave.

"Try to minimize the opening of Qiandeng City's gates to prevent Meng Qingchan's aura from leaking. This way, we shouldn't cause any trouble." Chen Mu calculated silently in his mind.

After taking another glance at Chengtian Gourd, Chen Mu withdrew his mind from Yingtong and focused on the jade seed.

Three or four days had passed since the discovery of the jade mutation, and the golden pattern on the inner wall had not changed at all.

But Chen Mu was very clear that his jade had been affected by the "Secret Book of Jade Cicada" and had undergone irreversible changes in its shape.

"After all, I still couldn't defend against Meng Qingchan's methods." Chen Mu couldn't help but shook his head.

He came to Qianji Sect to serve as a Taoist soldier just for the Taoist Atlas, and he spent nearly two years in Haizhou for this purpose.

As a result, before the Taoist soldiers even started their work, they began to practice the Taoist secret techniques.

"On the other hand, this is what I wanted." Chen Mu shrugged helplessly.

Although I was forced to practice it because of Meng Qingchan's plan, as Meng Qingchan said, the "Jade Cicada Secret Book" is at least a serious Taoist secret method.

If I were to find a secret technique of the same level on my own, it would probably take many years.

"It's fine to practice. My cultivation has been stagnant for many years. It's time to start the fifth stage of Qi training."

Chen Mu's thoughts began to change.

"Lord Lu stays in Leizhou Qianji Sect all year round and rarely comes to Tianwai."

"Even if he came, he wouldn't have come all the way to the auxiliary troops' station to check."

"As long as you stay outside the sky and practice the Secret Book of Jade Cicada, you won't be discovered by the other party."

"As for what Meng Qingchan did in the secret book..." Chen Mu's thoughts moved, and a gray wall appeared in front of him.

A new row of entries appeared at the bottom of the wall.

Jade Cicada Secret Codex: 9/10000/Level ;

"With the feedback from Gray Wall, I'm not afraid that she will tamper with the secret technique." Chen Mu smiled.

I didn't expect that Xinyin would be able to pass on the scriptures, and I was tricked.

But once Chen Muzhen starts practicing, any backdoor methods left by Meng Qingchan will be completed by the gray wall feedback.

"It's just that Meng Qingchan took a ride and got a pretty good Taoist secret book."

"When you think about it this way, this deal is actually quite a bargain." He smiled cheerfully and made up his mind.

The secret method has already begun. Instead of being disgusted and rejecting it, it is better to practice it actively.

Moreover, Tianguan Star is located outside the sky, and there are demons from outer space causing chaos. Only when one's own strength is stronger can one be safer.

"Earning Dao Merit is not that urgent." Chen Mu secretly calculated.

Others earn Daoist merits for the secret resources.

Now that he has the Jade Cicada Dao Base Diagram, he has no shortage of secret techniques.

I haven't started to formally build my foundation yet, and I don't know what specific resources I need for cultivation.

"First follow the crowd and hide among the crowd."

"Once things are settled and the cultivation of the Tao foundation is on the right track, we will make other plans."
