My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 671 Omissions

Half a month later, the demon was solved in Lane 16, Xinsi Courtyard.

In a compartment with walls on three sides and one side open.

The short, fat man in brown shorts looked Chen Mu up and down.

"Just here?"

"Manager Wu has good eyesight." Chen Mu clasped his fists respectfully.

"It's no use talking nonsense." Manager Wu said expressionlessly, "You only have half an hour to skin and bone me."

As he said that, he threw a two-meter-long eagle-beaked white jade snake onto the stone table in front of Chen Mu.

Chen Mu clasped his fists again, picked up the forearm-length sharp knife beside the table, and started to work immediately.

The Three Yin Killing Demonic Art was quietly activated, and emerald green light enveloped the blade.

Slip.

Just like a hot knife cutting through solidified butter, the energy on the surface of the white jade snake was instantly penetrated.

The slender sharp knife pierced into the eagle's beak, and with the deft movement of the wrist, the blade moved slowly and evenly under the snake's skin.

After half a minute, Chen Mu put down the sharp knife and used both hands to easily peel off the scales on the eagle-billed white jade snake's head.

The manager named Wu, who had been standing nearby, raised his eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction.

The head of the white jade snake is the most complex structure and is the most prone to mistakes. Once the head work is completed, the rest will be much easier.

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, Chen Mu easily peeled off the entire snake skin.

Then he picked up the sharp knife and cut the flesh from the snake's body with exposed scarlet muscles.

He had never learned the butcher's knife technique for cutting meat, but he had practiced many knife techniques for chopping people. At the beginning of his practice, he practiced more than one form of training.

Using his Divine Listening ability to determine the structure of the tendons and bones, Chen Mu skillfully cut through the blood-red tendons and flesh. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had cut out a snow-white snake bone.

"It's okay." Manager Wu showed a slight smile on his face.

"I just happen to be in need of someone to handle the white jade snake. Please stay."

"Thank you, Manager Wu, for taking me in." Chen Mu bowed with a look of joy.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Manager Wu, he went through the entry procedures such as registration and receiving special tools.

Half an hour later, Chen Mu returned to the cubicle where he had just been tested.

There were many similar compartments around the courtyard, and many people wearing leather aprons were busy skinning and dismembering animals.

Chen Mu glanced at the greasy and dirty little house, then looked at the stone table with mottled purple and black blood stains, curled his lips, but nodded.

"The working environment is indeed not very good, but it is enough to deal with Qianji Sect."

With the "Jade Cicada Secret Book" in his hand, he wanted to stay in his room and concentrate on practicing, but unfortunately the Qianji Sect did not allow it.

Once you sign the Dao Soldier Contract, you must serve the Qianji Sect.

If you don't take the initiative to find a job for yourself, Qianji Sect will forcibly dispatch you.

In order to practice peacefully, Chen Mu had been paying special attention when listening to the lectures on how to solve the demon problem.

The current job at Xinsiyuan was obtained through his use of his divine listening ability.

"It's just ten eagle-beaked white jade snakes a day. With the Three Yin Demon-killing Technique in hand, it won't even take a quarter of an hour."

"The remaining time can be used to reshape the jade species."

"Just act real and don't let others find out."

……

In the days that followed, Chen Mu's life became regular again.

I get up early every day and report to Xinsiyuan.

When someone passed by, he would be busy dealing with the eagle-beaked white jade snake. When no one was paying attention, he would practice meditation.

In the evening, I went off work with other butchers.

He did not go to Tianguan City for entertainment, but went straight back to his residence to continue refining the innate energy to reshape the jade.

As the days passed, the golden lines on the jade seeds continued to expand, and the secret book experience increased rapidly.

……

That day, Chen Mu sat on a high stool and cleaned the white jade snake as usual.

He leaned forward with a thin, sharp knife in hand, his movements as gentle as embroidery. He was so focused that he didn't even have time to wipe the beads of sweat that fell from his forehead.

Manager Wu, who was watching from a distance, nodded with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back and turned away.

Chen Mu raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the short and fat figure disappearing around the corner, and immediately stood up.

A thin line of dark green air blade whizzed into the mouth of the eagle-beaked white jade snake.

He pinched the snake's tail and shook it. With a swish, the white jade snake's muscles slid out of his mouth without any hindrance. The entire snake skin was easily peeled off.

Chen Mu's mind moved, and dozens of tiny air blades as long as fingernails flew around the scarlet muscles.

In just a few breaths, he easily took out a bloodless snow-white snake bone.

"I didn't expect that the skills I used to cut meat during the barbecue in the past could be used here. Not bad, not bad..." Chen Mu nodded happily. He waved his hand and swept the smelly flesh into the special wooden barrel beside the table to isolate the smell. He scanned the surroundings with his Divine Listening ability and confirmed that no one was paying attention. Then he immersed his mind into the jade seed.

He skillfully reversed the Heche Divine Acupoint and created nine innate qi.

Then, the jade species was reshaped according to the Jade Cicada Daoji Diagram.

Nine innate qi penetrated into the inner wall of the jade, and the golden lines on it suddenly expanded.

Looking at the golden lines that covered almost one-third of the inner wall of the jade, Chen Mu felt extremely satisfied.

As I was appreciating it, a complex feeling suddenly emerged in my mind.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, then he raised the corner of his mouth.

A gray wall appeared before his eyes and he looked at one of the columns.

Jade Cicada Secret Codex: 2/10000/Level ;

"My continuous hard work day and night for this month has paid off." Chen Mu happily checked his insights carefully.

The more he looked, the bigger the smile on his face became.

He discovered that the insights reflected by the gray wall were slightly different from the Taoist basic diagram in the "Jade Cicada Secret Book".

"It's correct, but there is a loophole? Meng Qingchan really buried a hidden danger." Chen Mu suddenly understood.

Just like the first edition of the secret method he gave himself, the second edition of the secret book still deleted a lot of details.

"You want to use these omissions to control me?"

"hehe!"

……

at dusk.

Chen Mu hummed a little tune and strolled back to Jiwei Courtyard in Yangdufang.

But at the door he met a two-meter-tall strong man.

The man was obviously a big and strong man, but his face was pale and his lips were blue. He walked lightly, as if he was weak and frail.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong?" Chen Mu greeted him with a surprised look on his face: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look so haggard?"

This person was called Zhong Qing, and he was his neighbor. He lived in Room 17 in the East Wing, right next to him.

The two lived very close to each other and had met each other before and knew each other's names.

"It's Fellow Daoist Chen." Zhong Qing came back to his senses and his reaction seemed a little slow.

"It's really hard to make money from Taoism." He shook his head bitterly.

"What you eat is the Qigong Pill, which produces the magic power of sealing the demon. If you drain the magic power five times a day, you will only get three Daogong."

“I feel like I’m a living magical instrument.”

Is Tiangongfang so exploitative?

Fortunately I didn’t go!

Chen Mu felt relieved.

"During the previous fight against the demons in Haizhou, Brother Zhong should have earned some Daoist merits."

"Adding the accumulation over the past month, there should be at least 500 or 600 Dao of Merit."

"This is enough to hire an experienced Taoist soldier to teach you step by step for more than a month."

"There are already many people studying in our courtyard. Why are you..." Chen Mu looked at Zhong Qing curiously as he walked.

Upon hearing this, the other party's expression became even more bitter.

"At that time, I accidentally injured my leg, and only followed the elders of Qianji Sect for more than half a month before being forced to return to the sect. I didn't accumulate much Dao Gong at all!"

Tsk tsk.

This is a bit tragic.

Chen Mu looked sympathetic.

"Friend Zhong, don't work too hard. You should rest when you need to." Chen Mu advised.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen." Zhong Qing clasped his fists and thanked him: "I do plan to take a day off."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you should also take care of your body. If your vitality is damaged, it may affect your subsequent practice."

After saying that, he said goodbye and went back to his room.

Damage to your vitality, take care of your body?

Are you talking about me?

Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this.

He was still confused until he closed the door, activated the absolute note, and sat on the couch to prepare for today's practice.

Just as he was preparing to continue his practice, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of himself in the jade window.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment.

Pale face, dark bags under the eyes, this... is this me?

When did I become so haggard?!
