My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 718 Huangquan Sect

Deep in Fulong Ridge, in an unknown valley, in a dense forest facing the sun.

Black smoke rolled around Chen Mu like waves, and the messy grass, trees, and rocks disappeared, and soon a piece of open space was leveled out.

He took out the thatched hut that had stood firm for many years from Qiandeng City and immediately took root under the shade of a tree.

Chen Mu took out a small bamboo chair and sat down by the window at the door, then heaved a long sigh of relief.

"After all this hard work, I can finally take a break."

After a long while of cool breeze, he finally released the charcoal-like Hong Yi from Qiandeng City.

At this moment, large cracks had appeared on Hong Yi's dark face, and through the gaps, one could see the snow-white skin inside.

"As expected of a master of Tiandu transformation, your vitality is really strong." Chen Mu exclaimed in amazement.

A giant spirit wearing armor appeared, and the Soul Reincarnation Technique was activated. The incense energy in the bottomless pool was drawn out, and then poured into Hong Yi's body.

Click...

The opponent's skin, which had been carbonized by the Nine Nether Blue Flame, suddenly cracked and fell off, and the whole person recovered in a manner visible to the naked eye.

The next moment, Hong Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing Chen Mu sitting leisurely on the bamboo chair, recalling his previous life-threatening experience, his eyes almost instantly became fierce.

"Want to kill me?" Chen Mu smiled.

"Think it over carefully." He said with a playful look on his face.

Hong Yi was startled, and then he found that the malice was still lingering in his mind, but another sense of intimacy rose up for no reason.

The person in front of me seemed to have become my closest friend and relative. In the blink of an eye, he became my closest friend!

Although the cause and effect are clear, hostility and kindness can coexist at the same time.

This……

This person's methods are so evil... and clever?
"Sir, your methods are truly brilliant!" Hong Yi stood up and took the clothes handed to him by Chen Mu, replaced the charred and torn strips of cloth on his body, clasped his hands together, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Chen Mu himself felt a little nervous.

Although the demon spirit species has many shortcomings, its ability to turn enemies into friends is still so strange.

……

Shortly after.

There is another bamboo chair under the window.

Hong Yi sat on the chair, staring at the green mountains in the distance in a daze.

At this moment, he has accepted the reality that he is under the control of others.

Then he began to explain the reason why he had ambushed Chen Mu on Fulong Ridge.

"Di Xing informed me of your whereabouts..."

I knew it!

Chen Mu's eyelids twitched and he clenched his fists.

"He wants me to introduce you to the Dragon Locking Courtyard and help you obtain a ghost and god order that can freely control the incense and vitality of the counties in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He doesn't want to harm you." Hong Yi explained.

With the demon spirit seed, he naturally won’t harm me.

It’s a pity that good intentions lead to bad results!

but……

"Assuming that I can handle the strange monster, shouldn't you, the Great Zhou Dragon Locking Academy, give me a warm welcome?"

"Why would a branch dean like you set up an ambush in person?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

"It's not like the Dragon Locking Academy doesn't have ways to deal with the monster." Hong Yi said, "The simplest way is to let the monster eat enough people."

"Once it devours too many lives, the demon will fall uncontrollably into the underworld."

This method... is a bit cruel.

Chen Mu frowned.

"This method is too cruel and cannot be used." Hong Yi continued, "Not only because it will cause a large number of casualties among civilians, but more importantly, the monsters themselves cannot be dealt with in large numbers."

“If the number of strange monsters in the world decreases too much, monsters from outer space will come.” He looked solemn.

Is there such a thing?

Chen Mu was surprised.

"The Great Zhou has been established for 360 years, and the Dragon Locking Institute has made many attempts."

"Once the number of strange monsters falls below a certain number, strange natural disasters will occur. The most common one is monsters falling from the sky to cause chaos." Hong Yi's face was gloomy.

Can the strange monsters and the alien monsters have any connection?

When one side becomes less, the other side becomes more, always maintaining a dynamic balance?
Weird...

Chen Mu scratched his head.

"So you drive the strange monsters into Dahong, which can not only ensure the number of strange monsters, but also prevent them from harming the people of your country?" Chen Mu understood in his heart.

"At the same time, it can also force the people of Dahong to migrate to Dazhou." Hong Yi added: "The main reason why I appeared near Fulongling is to guide the refugees of Dahong to migrate safely."

Actively accept a huge number of refugees from other countries?
why?
Chen Mu was puzzled. He could understand accepting a few elite talents, but if he accepted everyone, wouldn't he be afraid of causing great chaos to his own country?

"Because of the vitality of incense!" Hong Yi's face was serious: "Because the vitality of incense comes from the essence of the Three Treasures emitted by ordinary people!"

It's actually... it's actually like this?!

Chen Mu was shocked.

The City God's Taoist temple dilutes the earth's spiritual energy to ensure a good harvest and thriving livestock.

The symbiosis of Yin and Ming worms makes the people strong and healthy and free from all diseases.

He originally thought that this was just to cultivate Yinming insects and bring more Yin spirits to the Yinming underworld.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was also for the purpose of creating more incense and vitality!
The Dark God Transformation and the Dragon Locking Warrior both rely on the energy from incense and fire for their practice.

what is this?
Eating humans?!
At this moment, when Chen Mu looked at the incense energy stored in the bottomless pool again, his scalp suddenly tightened for no reason.

He suddenly thought of the time when he was a living god in Luandu County. At that time, he borrowed the secret method of Lingbao Shuji Pian to clearly see the restrictions of the City God's Taoist temple. The dense invisible silk threads covered the sky and the earth like a fishing net and a birdcage.

"There is no escape from this dragnet."

The slightly warm mountain breeze from the sun blew in Chen Mu's face, but he just felt cold all over.

After a while, he came back to his senses with a sigh.

"Tell me about Huangquan Sect."

Before he had mastered the Dao Foundation, he was a little arrogant. Now, he just wanted to go further.

And... get away from the Great Zhou court as soon as possible!
……

One month later.

Xining County of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Anqing City.

This city is located on the westernmost side of Da Zhou. Going further west, you will enter the endless Henglian Mountains.

In the East Market of the city, at Yanghe Building, Chen Mu sat in a cubicle on the third floor facing the street, staring at the flow of people on the street in a trance.

In the past month, with Hong Yi leading the way, he safely crossed the Great Zhou and arrived in Anqing City smoothly.

When he first heard the core secret of the City God's Taoist temple, he was indeed shocked and just wanted to get away from Da Zhou as soon as possible.

Now, after these few days, Chen Mu's emotions have completely calmed down.

"It is cruel for the underworld to treat the people like leeks, but in this world, everyone is treated like cattle and horses."

"The lives of those Taoist soldiers and Qi-refiners on the outer stars are not much better."

"At least the underworld can allow ordinary people to live and work in peace and die peacefully."

“Whether it is good or bad, only those who have experienced it can judge.”

"I'm just a mere Qi Refiner, so I should just focus on refining my Qi." Chen Mu sighed and changed his mind.

"We need to find a gathering place for Qi Refiners as soon as possible. It would be best if we could join the Huangquan Sect."

Huangquan Sect was a large sect on par with Qianji Sect, and mastered countless wonderful techniques. The Huangquan General Principles that Chen Mu practiced when he was concentrating on awakening came from Huangquan Sect.

After the foundation of Taoism, the practice is called "building immortal platforms", also known as casting spiritual treasures, which requires a secret scroll of spiritual treasure construction methods. Sects like Huangquan Sect must have a complete inheritance.

"I don't know if the method introduced by Hong Yi is reliable." Chen Mu hesitated.

It had only been a short time since Di Xing's big mistake. Even though he had emphasized to Hong Yi many times before coming here that they should not add unnecessary details, Chen Mu was still a little worried.

While he was thinking, the sound of light footsteps caught Chen Mu's attention.

After a moment, a fat middle-aged man with a wealthy face walked into the compartment.

"But Master Chen in person?" The middle-aged man smiled.

"you are?"

"My name is Bai Xiaoqing, formerly known as... Hong Xiaoqing."

"Hong?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Hong Yi is my second elder brother." The wealthy middle-aged man took a step closer and spoke in a low voice.

Chen Mu immediately understood that this must be the person arranged by Hong Yi.

"Do you have a way for me to join the Huangquan Sect?"

"There is indeed a way to let you enter the Sacred Heart Lower House of Huangquan Sect, but..."

"Just what?" Chen Mu frowned slightly.

"But you need to sign the Taoist Soldier Contract and have to work for the Sacred Heart Academy. If you betray me during this period, your heart will be burned by the Yin Fire." Hong Xiaoqing said solemnly.

Taoist military contract?

Burning heart?

Chen Mu glanced at the Nine Lives Tribulation Technique on the gray stone door, which he had practiced to the limit.

Hey!
Isn't this a coincidence?

Chen Mu smiled immediately.
