My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 770 Destruction
Weizhi Peak, the long corridor in front of the wooden house.

Tang Zhimu stepped forward and placed a small wooden box on the wooden table next to Chen Mu.

Upon opening the lid, rows of white jade coins were neatly arranged throughout the wooden box.

"The original white jade coins no longer need to be handed over to Zhaixing Peak, and the quantity has increased considerably, to more than three thousand four hundred."

“Now that Weizhi Peak’s energy is becoming more and more abundant, it may be even more next month,” Tang Zhimu said with a smile.

Chen Mu glanced at it and nodded slightly.

The Little Zhou Star Fighting Technique is stable, and with the help of the Earth Vein Technique, it draws in the celestial energy, making the earth's spiritual energy more abundant, naturally nurturing more white jade coins.

"What about the new disciples? Have they been settled in?" Chen Mu asked.

Since it was a task assigned by Yuan Zhen, even if I didn't care about it, I couldn't just do it carelessly.

"Those disciples who fled here have all moved into the hermitage at the foot of the mountain. They have been arranged by the General Affairs Office and have basically integrated into our Weizhi Peak."

"Very good." Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Tang Zhimu glanced at Chen Mu, hesitated for a moment, then bent down and whispered to Chen Mu, "Director, the supplies in the warehouse have all been put into the dragon bone ship. When... are we going to run away?"

"Hmm... Huh? Who told you I was going to run away!" Chen Mu frowned, scolding him with a look of dissatisfaction.

To slander someone's innocence out of thin air!

Isn't this ruining my reputation?!
No...aren't you going to run?

Tang Zhimu was somewhat bewildered.

Didn't you tell me to gather all the supplies into the dragonbone boat before? Wasn't that just to make it easier to escape?
"I was worried that the warehouse wasn't safe, so I specifically put the supplies inside the keelboat to store them!" Chen Mu denied firmly.

Tang Zhimu squinted at Chen Mu.

I'll take it as you're telling the truth.

"Go away, you old geezer, stop thinking about all that nonsense and get back to what you're doing." Chen Mu rolled his eyes and waved him away.

Hey……

I want to run away, but where can I run to?
Watching Tang Zhimu walk away, Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

According to Yuan Zhen, the emperor's death affected thirteen prefectures, causing chaos in Yizhou and unrest in neighboring Bazhou as well.

Running around aimlessly might lead to bad luck, and you might even collapse halfway there. It's better to stay put on Jiufeng Mountain.

At least here there are protective mountain laws and restrictions, and earth vein laws and restrictions that connect with celestial bodies to ensure cultivation.

"However, we can't just leave everything unprepared."

Chen Mu muttered to himself.

A surge of black mist enveloped him, and his figure vanished. When he reappeared, he was already inside Thousand Lantern City.

At this moment, dozens of huge white lanterns hung high in the air, illuminating the dark city of Thousand Lanterns.

More than a dozen ghostly spirits roam around each lantern, providing it with spiritual power to ensure it stays lit.

Below is a small hill, about ten stories high, which is the rock and soil scraped from the ground when we left Tangshan Academy.

At this moment, the five paper ghost figures stood in mid-air with their hands on their hips and bellies bulging, directing countless black smoke spirits to transport and spread rocks and soil around Thousand Lantern City, raising the foundation and expanding the ground area.

Chen Mu glanced at the five spirited paper figures, ignored them, and turned to go to the top floor of his three-story wooden building, where he poured the white jade coins he had just received into a large wooden box.

There were four or five more boxes next to it, all filled with white jade.

Some of them were brought from Tangshan Institute, while others were the latest products from Weizhi Peak.

"These are all my mana reserves," Chen Mu said with a satisfied expression.

The Thousand Lanterns City Cave Heaven is incomplete and lacks vital energy. Staying inside for a long time will cause one's magical power to be depleted and unable to be replenished.

But with these white jades, one gains the earth's spiritual energy, ensuring sufficient magical power.

"If something happens at Jiufeng Mountain, as long as I hide in Qiandeng City, no matter how chaotic things are outside, I won't be affected."

"With these white jade coins providing the earth's spiritual energy, it wouldn't be a problem to hide away for a year or two!" Chen Mu said confidently.

He used to love digging holes, after all, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Compared to underground caves, the Thousand Lanterns City, which isolates the inside from the outside, is the best safe house.

"If only we could bring celestial energy to this incomplete cave."

"It's a pity that my comprehension of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Combat Technique is insufficient." Chen Mu shook his head regretfully.

……

The Nine Peaks Mountain is calm and peaceful.

After that, several more groups of refugees arrived, so the total number of people in Jiufeng Mountain more than doubled.

Weizhi Peak has also accepted quite a few people. Fortunately, Tang Zhimu is in charge of the management, so Chen Mu doesn't need to show up to handle things. This allows him to focus on his cultivation on Weizhi Peak.

With abundant vitality and a stable environment, Weizhi Peak is a paradise for Chen Mu compared to the turmoil of the past.

And so, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, at the summit of Weizhi Peak, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, scratching his head as he looked at the gray stone gate that appeared before him.

Yellow Springs Gourd: 3115/10000/Eighth Tier;

"The Lingbao Yuanfu is becoming more and more complicated."

Chen Mu had long guessed that the Yellow Springs Gourd would become increasingly difficult as he progressed, but he never expected the difficulty of the eighth level to increase so much.

The seventh phase took a total of more than nine months.

But now, half a year has passed, and the experience points for the eighth-tier Yellow Spring Gourd are only a little over three thousand.

"Oh well, it's okay to be slower. Compared to those Qi cultivators who take decades to refine their Qi, I'm already fast enough." Chen Mu thought for a moment and accepted it with a sense of relief.

Yuan Zhen, the abbot of Jiufeng Mountain, also followed the path of internal cultivation of spiritual treasures.

The opponent has been practicing for thirty or forty years, but hasn't made any progress.

"We're out of the country. Let's rest for three days first."

Chen Mu got up, stretched his arms and legs, and slowly loosened his muscles and bones.

……

The next day.

As usual, Tang Zhimu sent Chen Mu a piece of white jade, and at the same time brought Chen Mu some surprising news.

"Sacred Heart Academy is gone? What does that mean?" Chen Mu asked, looking surprised.

“Indeed, many of these fleeing disciples came from the Sacred Heart Academy.” Tang Zhimu said solemnly, “It is said that the mountain gate was breached by some great demon.”

The Sacred Heart Temple is incredibly powerful, having managed dozens of subordinate temples and mountain strongholds in Yizhou for over a hundred years, always acting as a pillar of stability.

Unexpectedly, the mountain gate was suddenly breached. Even though Tang Zhimu was used to seeing storms, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Where is Luo Ding, the Imperial Physician?" Chen Mu asked quickly, snapping out of his daze.

"His whereabouts are unknown; I'm afraid the chances of survival are slim!" Tang Zhimu said gravely.

Chen Mu's expression immediately changed.

Luo Ding, the abbot of Sacred Heart Academy, cultivates the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Path, which is the path of a highly accomplished cultivator who has cultivated his foundation for many years!

If one were to further refine it into its true form, it would be comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, achieving immortality!
Even such a highly skilled person suffered misfortune?
This...this is fantastic news!

Chen Mu almost burst out laughing.

He has a considerable grudge against Luo Ding of Sacred Heart Monastery.

Back then at Tangshan Hospital,

Bai Shou, the patriarch of Baijiazhai, once came to cause him trouble.

The other party held a contract and imperial edict, intending to use it to control Chen Mu, capture him, and sell him to the Lock Dragon Academy.

At the Sacred Heart Temple, only Luo Ding, who possessed the original Daoist military contract, could issue the contractual edict binding himself.

"I'm even thinking of finding a chance to get revenge later."

"Tsk!"

"We can only cook a few more tables to celebrate."

"We've known each other for a while now, so let's treat this as a feast."

"hey-hey!"
