My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 690 An unexpected surprise

Jie Yao Lane, the inner courtyard of Xinsi Courtyard.

At the door of a spacious room, Chen Mu was lying in a brand new rocking chair with his eyes closed.

"Slacking off again?" The short and fat Wu Guanshi suddenly appeared at the door, looking dissatisfied: "I transferred you to the inner courtyard, and you slack off all day long?"

Without even raising his eyelids, Chen Mu lazily pointed to the demon-exorcising stone platform in the room.

"Two green jade snails?!" Manager Wu, who had a dissatisfied look on his face just now, suddenly smiled.

He strode into the room, examined the two snail shells carefully, and his face became more and more joyful.

Even a veteran in Jie Yao Xiang could only process six or seven green jade snails a day, but Chen Mu processed two in just the morning!

"The bet was right!" He quickly returned to Chen Mu with a flattering smile on his face.

Being able to handle the Jade Snail means that Chen Mu will be able to handle other more complex monsters in the future. With such a master of monsters, Xinsiyuan will definitely be able to move up a level. This is a lot of benefits for a manager like me.

"Can I be lazy?" Chen Mu opened one eye and glanced at the short and fat man.

"You are not being lazy at all. You are clearly conserving your energy so that you can better fight the monster!" The short and fat manager Wu's face changed, and his face became solemn and serious.

Gee!

Your expression changes so quickly.

"then you……"

"I'll leave right away and won't disturb you while you rest!" The short and fat man picked up two snail shells and turned around and left without hesitation.

Watching the figure disappearing behind the moon gate in the courtyard, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

Ever since he demonstrated his skill in handling jade snails, he was arranged to live in this small courtyard.

He didn't need to deal with the corpses of other little demons, he just needed to concentrate on dealing with the jade snail.

And every time he processed one, he could gain fifteen merits, which was more than what he could gain in a day.

With the Three Yin Demon-killing Technique in hand, Chen Mu only needed a quarter of an hour to finish one. If he really let go, he could handle thirty or forty green jade snails in a day.

but……

"The best demon-exorcist in Demon-Exorcist Alley can only process nine jade snails a day at most."

"It's just right for me to deal with four every day. It's best not to increase the number in a short period of time." Chen Mu thought to himself.

As a novice, handling four jade snails a day was already a bit conspicuous, and handling more would definitely attract others to spy on him. He didn't want others to disturb his peaceful life of cultivation.

……

After throwing a pill of Peiyuan Pill into his mouth, Chen Mu closed his eyes and sank into the jade seed.

He skillfully reversed the Heche Divine Acupoint, and in a short while, all his magical power turned into nine innate qi and sank into the inner wall of the jade seed.

A hint of golden light flashed inside and outside the jade.

Several tiny golden threads appeared on the golden lines somewhere, and the white jade-colored inner wall thickened slightly.

These changes cannot even be detected without careful comparison and examination, as if the practice just now was completely ineffective.

Chen Mu was used to this.

Reshaping the jade seed is like building a house. The Taoist atlas is the blueprint, and the innate qi is the bricks and tiles. Every time of practice is like adding bricks and tiles.

The effect may not be visible at first, but only after accumulation step by step will it become tall buildings.

"It's a slow and steady process. It's not the first time I've encountered this. Just keep practicing." Chen Mu shrugged, his mentality quite peaceful.

He turned his head and focused his attention on the center of the jade.

The nine-layer magic talisman the size of a longan stood at attention and rotated randomly, and strands of magic power continued to emerge.

There are also dozens of sesame-like star points of different colors surrounding the divine aperture.

Chen Mu focused his mind on one of the dark green star points, and a dark green cloud suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

There are countless branching networks in the clouds, which look like the nerves in a human brain, or like the roots of tree branches huddled together. They are the true meaning of the Plague Immortal's magic.

After looking at it for a moment, he continued to construct the talisman as usual.

The branches at the edges kept gathering and disappearing, and the entire branch cloud group slowly extended and expanded in all directions.

After a long while, when the magic power in the jade seed was filled again, Chen Mu stopped practicing the Plague Immortal Technique and turned around to start a new round of jade seed reshaping.

Repeat this cycle several times, stopping occasionally to rest and taking Peiyuan Dan to replenish your energy.

Time passed quietly, and when I came to my senses, the sky had already dimmed and it was almost evening.

Chen Mu stretched and stood up, dealing with the remaining two jade snails while checking the gray wall.

Jade Cicada Secret Codex: 2149/10000/Level ;

Plague Immortal Method: 2/10000/Level ;

Over twenty days have passed, and the Jade Cicada Secret Code has steadily improved, but the Plague Immortal Technique has already entered a new level. …

At night, the stars are bright.

In the Jiwei Courtyard of Yangdufang.

Chen Mu took out a piece of jade snail meat that he had prepared long ago.

The Plague Immortal Technique was activated, and the Jade Cicada's energy penetrated into it like a command from his arm. He tried again to eliminate the evil poison.

But after a while, the walnut-sized white meat did not react. The rhythm that was unique to the demon poison was intermittent, but it never disappeared.

"The fourth-level Plague Immortal Spell doesn't work?" Chen Mu scratched his head.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Nowadays, the only thing that can deal with the demon poison is the Nanming Lihuo, and apart from the special magic weapon Tiangonglu, only the Yuanshen God can control and master this fire.

With this calculation, the Misty Sky Demon Poison must be something at the level of a Soul God, so it is not so easy to eradicate.

"I only have more than 14,000 white jades left in my hand, but this won't last long." He frowned slightly.

"Does it mean that we should slow down the pace of our cultivation?"

The practice of Taoism requires magic power, and to refine the magic power one needs the spiritual energy of the earth and one's own essence, energy and spirit.

Before, there was the Chengtian Gourd, so there was no need to buy pills to strengthen the body. All one had to do was provide the exquisite jade plate to stimulate the generation of earth spiritual energy.

But just this one item consumed 60 to 70 percent of his accumulated wealth.

I will need to buy materials for Peiyuan Dan in the future, which will probably cost me more white jade and Taoist skills.

Process more jade snails?

It's not impossible, but we have to find a way to get Manager Wu to cover up some of it.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, thinking.

Hmm, the Nightmare Spell?

Hey! That's not impossible.

"It would be better if we didn't have to take a cut from Taoshanguan Daogong." He sighed and shook his head again.

If the Daogong had not been taken away before it was distributed, he would really dare not give the commission.

After such a long time, he had already mastered the Nine Lives Tribulation Technique. With countless demon spirits sharing the Tribulation Technique, he was not afraid of the backlash of the contract.

……

"Hu Buwei's aura disappeared on Tianmen Star, so the deduction from Dao Gong will be cancelled?"

"And the 1,043 Dao Merit points that were distributed to the Baihuan Sect in the past two months can actually be returned?!"

This……

Is there such a good thing? !

At the gate of Jiwei Courtyard in Yangdufang, Chen Mu looked at the bald, white-bearded old man who came to deliver the notice, his face full of surprise.

Although it was a bit unkind, he almost laughed out loud when he heard that Hu Buwei was missing.

I was still getting commission from Cricket Taoism a few days ago, but I didn’t expect a big turn for the better today.

After the demise of the Baihuan Sect, Hu Buwei was the only one left to receive the Daogong commission. Only when one's Daogong reached Hu Buwei's hands could it be taken away by Taoshan Temple.

Now that Hu Buwei is missing, there is one missing middle link, so Chen Mu and the others cannot use their Taoist skills.

What he didn't expect was that the Taoist power he had distributed in the past two or three months could actually be returned.

"With these more than a thousand Daogong to buy medicinal materials, I can sustain another month of high-speed cultivation."

"This is really... a pleasant surprise." Chen Mu looked strange.

After careful calculation, he even had to thank Lord Lu for releasing the plague.

Really...

"What? You don't like it? If you don't like it, you don't have to go to get it." The white-bearded old man stared at Chen Mu with jealousy on his face.

He is also a Taoist soldier, and he doesn't want to be charged a commission.

"No, I'm just sad for Elder Hu."

"Elder Hu was such a good man, how could he just be gone like this?" Chen Mu bared his teeth and cried out in pain with a "sad" look on his face!

The bald old man: "..."

Elder Hu is so unlucky to have a Taoist soldier like you!
