My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 722: Double Flower Courtyard

"It is said that the first leader of the Huangquan Sect held a Huangquan Gourd."

"The gourd has a breath of Huangquan Qi, which has killed many powerful monsters."

On the ground carriage, Bai Shou talked endlessly.

This was already the fourth day since they left Zangleijian. Looking around, they could still see all kinds of strange-shaped mountains.

Inside the earth-traveling chariot, Chen Mu listened to Bai Shou's talk about the rumors about internal training methods and nodded repeatedly.

The Huangquan Gourd is worthy of being one of the three great spiritual treasures for internal cultivation in the Huangquan Sect.

I made the right choice!

"But..."

"But?" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"The internal training method is too complicated, so the sect leaders of recent generations have all used external training magic weapons." Bai Shou continued.

Is internal training so difficult?

"You don't need to regret it, my friend. The internal training method has existed since ancient times and has been passed down to this day. Naturally, it has its mysteries." Bai Shou comforted him, "It is indeed difficult to practice this step now, but once you have mastered it, the rest of the path will be..."

"Will the road ahead be easy?" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

"The road ahead will only be more difficult." Bai Shou chuckled.

Chen Mu: “…”

This old man is so bad!
"However, I heard that most of the talented disciples in the upper house of Huangquan Sect would choose to practice internal spiritual treasures first."

“When one really cannot practice, one will switch to external training.” Bai Shou laughed for a long time before speaking again.

It's impossible that these talented disciples would do this for no reason, right?

Who wants to do a thankless job?

Chen Mu seemed to be thinking about something.

"Luofu Taoism has the Luofu Three Thousand Methods, which are said to be able to communicate with gods. But the Luofu Taoist master himself follows the orthodox Qi Refining Method." Bai Shou said with a long sigh.

“Even if you practice the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method, you still use the internal training and weapon making method.”

"It is obvious that following the path of Daozu, although difficult, has the longest and brightest future."

"If it weren't for my limited talent and lifespan, I wouldn't have practiced the Sacred Heart Method and used the Nourishing Heart Pill." He sighed and looked at Chen Mu with envy in his eyes.

"You are still young, and you have plenty of time to try and make mistakes. If you have the chance to follow the orthodox Qi Refining Method, then go ahead bravely."

"I'm afraid I'll get a bloody head." Chen Mu said helplessly.

"It's also my fault for not knowing enough. This internal training method is obviously something only a genius would dare to choose. I was so rash." He sighed in confusion, "It's a pity that the secret method has already been chosen. The Sacred Heart Academy will definitely not let me change it. I can only practice it anyway."

"Fortunately, I am not without support." Chen Mu glanced at the gray stone door that was vaguely visible in his sight.

"I don't have much talent, nor do I have much luck. I can get to where I am today thanks to my hard work!" He said with seriousness in his eyes.

"No pain No gain."

"Yellow Spring Gourd Method! I want you to help me see my limits!" His face was solemn.

Gray stone door: "..."

Bai Shou: “…”

This declaration clearly shows that one is not afraid of difficulties and has a firm determination.

But why do I just feel that it tastes wrong?
Bai Shou opened his mouth but remained speechless.

……

The ground chariot kept moving day and night, winding and floating among the mountains.

The direction points to the southeast, but the route is not a straight line.
Chen Mu discovered that they often deliberately took detours.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that the routes taken by the Earthly Chariot are safe routes that countless people have sacrificed their lives to blaze."

"Wherever you need to go around, there are big monsters lingering around. For example, the Yingyue Lake in the distance." On the top of a mountain, Bai Shou pointed to the mirror-like lake in the distance.

"There lives a golden toad in the Tongmai realm in that lake."

"It is an ancient species with the innate ability to burrow underground. Even Luo Duyuan would find it difficult to capture it."

"If you don't want to cause casualties, you have to take a longer detour."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but curiously use his ability to listen carefully, and he immediately discovered a powerful aura.

His life rhythm is even stronger than Bai Shou beside him!
Sure enough, the monsters that can occupy this deep forest in Henglian Mountain are not simple.

but……

A toad that can burrow underground?
This sounds a bit like a giant toad ingot.

Chen Mu felt quite nostalgic.

Well, maybe they are distant relatives.

Yuanbao is also a polite big toad in the state of enlightenment, a monster raised by Song Wuji, the elder of Jilong Dao. When they were in Jilong Mountain, Chen Mu got along quite well with him.

"What a pity. More than ten years have passed. I don't know when I can see him again."

……

The ground chariot relies on the earth's energy and automatically floats along the predetermined route.

Chen Mu and Bai Shou occasionally chatted and admired the strange scenery along the way, which was quite leisurely. After flying for more than ten days, crossing mountains and rivers, the earth-moving sedan chair finally arrived at Shuanghuayuan.

As soon as Chen Mu and the other person jumped off the sedan chair, a ray of ochre light flew in from the depths of the valley.

In the blink of an eye, an old man in black with meticulously combed hair and a stern face appeared in front of them.

"But Fellow Daoist Chen is here in person?" The old man looked at Chen Mu and said calmly, "My name is San Zhangli, the chief of Shuanghuayuan."

"I will be returning to Huangquan Sect tomorrow. If you have any questions about Shuanghuayuan, please speak up."

"Shuanghuayuan has a heavy responsibility, which concerns the safety of Sacred Heart Academy. If something goes wrong due to your poor management, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Sandu!" Chen Mu clasped his fists with a solemn expression.

How could a small lower house in a corner actually affect the entire Sacred Heart House?
I'm new here, if something goes wrong...

Chen Mu's heart suddenly tightened.

If something really goes wrong, I can only rely on the Nine Lives Division Technique to escape.

Haha ...

He really had no fear of difficulty at all.

However, what is the reason that could allow Shuanghuayuan to affect the safety of Shengxinyuan?
Curious.

……

"You said that these little things are related to the safety of Sacred Heart Hospital?"

Deep in Shuanghua Valley, on a hillside covered with colorful flowers, Chen Mu stared at a group of fat rabbits with white backgrounds and yellow flowers, speechless.

Look at the long-eared rabbit lying on its back lazily basking in the sun, and then look at the serious Sanduyuan.

This picture...

It's a bit inconsistent!

"You don't need to care about the specific reasons. Just ensure the safety of Shuanghua Valley and let the disciples in the academy train a sufficient number of Shuanghua rabbits." San Zhangli still had that expressionless face.

Fine.

Chen Mu shrugged and didn't argue.

In the morning, old man Bai Shou wanted to get close to the man, but was ruthlessly driven away by this Sanduyuan.

I am just an outsider, so all I have to do is listen. It’s best not to interfere with other things, and I don’t want to interfere either.

Chen Mu cooperated and San Zhangli was decisive. It only took half a day for Chen Mu to get a general understanding of Shuanghuayuan.

Just like the lower houses on Jilong Road and Eyang Road.

Shuanghuayuan is also a lower courtyard used to produce spiritual resources.

Chen Mu even saw a large field of yellow sprout rice in the valley.

The difference is that Shuanghuayuan mainly breeds Shuanghua rabbits, and the yellow bud rice planted in the valley is even just for the Shuanghua rabbits' snacks.

……

The next morning, the man from Sanduyuan found Chen Mu, said goodbye briefly and left decisively.

After careful calculation, from the time I met this abbot yesterday to now, a total of twelve hours have passed, which is exactly one day.

"It's so old-fashioned." Chen Mu shook his head, turned around and walked into the exquisite and small Tongshen Temple behind him.

This hall is located on the mountainside deep in Shuanghua Valley and is the core of Shuanghuayuan. The cardinal of the mountain protection law is inside the hall.

One of Chen Mu’s tasks is to guard the Tongshen Temple and observe and ensure the smooth operation of the mountain protection ban.

Burn three incense sticks to the portrait of Luofu Daozu in the depths of the main hall.

Chen Mu glanced at the bowl-sized white jade plate on the altar, turned around, walked to the entrance of the hall, took out a rocking chair, and lay down in it.

He turned his wrist and a jade tablet about the width of his palm and the length of his forearm emerged. The tablet was covered with golden Jie characters and there were also silver lines inside.

"After more than half a month of hard work, I finally have a moment of peace."

"It's time to start practicing this Yellow Spring Gourd."

Although Chen Mu had been on the road for the past half month and had not been able to calm down and practice, he had also taken some time to think about it. He had already gained a general understanding of the Huangquan Gourd construction method.

Using the innate energy of heaven as the material and the construction method as the template, it is piled up inside the jade to form a spiritual treasure.

The process is similar to the condensation of the Dao foundation, but the structure of the spiritual treasure is more complicated, and the weaving and construction is far more difficult than the Dao foundation.

"The amount of mana consumed is probably too much to count."

"Fortunately, the Dao Base Jade Seed can absorb the vitality of the stars on its own, making the magic power endless, otherwise..."

"Huh? No!"

"Isn't this ability of Daoji's mana recovery just to lay the foundation for forging spiritual treasures?"

Chen Mu stroked his chin and pondered secretly.

Practicing the basics of Taoism will help in creating spiritual treasures.

And by refining spiritual treasures, one can extract pure yang energy to nourish the foundation of the Tao.

One link after another.

This practice of refining Qi and cultivating immortals is really interesting!
