My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 820 Barrier
Misty forest, desolate woods.

"Who is this?" Chen Mu asked Xu Gui beside him in a low voice.

"Qin Yue, the deputy city lord of White Bird City, is the number one person below the city lord and the highest commander of the city defense battalion. His supernatural abilities are comparable to those of a military commander."

Xu Gui made a trembling sound, as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

That's a really troublesome person.

Chen Mu frowned slightly.

"Old Chen, hand over that stone now! I haven't had enough fun yet, and I don't want to die!"

Xu Gui's face was as pale as paper.

"Do you think I don't want to?"

Chen Mu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and looked inward at the space between his eyebrows.

The gray stone of unknown origin has now entered the secret acupoint between the eyebrows.

It was like a weary bird returning to its nest, hiding in a corner of a secret passage, motionless. No matter how Chen Mu used his Yin Spiritual Power to drag it, it showed no intention of moving.

"I have no desire for that stone whatsoever." Chen Mu looked up at Qin Yue earnestly.

"Give me some time, and I'll find a way to remove the stone from my body," he said earnestly.

Qin Yue glanced at Chen Mu expressionlessly and waved to the side.

Nine gray-clad figures with hoods on their heads emerged from the mist like ghosts and surrounded Chen Mu and Xu Gui.

"Take him back to Santu City and ask the Ancestor to use the Five Yin Fire to forge a divine weapon," Qin Yue coldly ordered.

Without even glancing at Chen Mu, he turned and walked back the way he came.

"Don't go, I really didn't want that stone."

"Give me some time, I'll definitely get that stone out," Chen Mu said anxiously.

With both an ancestor and Yin Fire at his disposal, he's sure to suffer if he's taken to the City of Three Paths.

Before he could continue explaining, the nine gray-clad men clasped their hands together, and streaks of bright silver threads shot out from behind them, like a spider web, covering Chen Mu and Xu Gui from all sides.

"Can't you people understand human language?!"

"I told you I didn't want to possess those stones!"

"Candle Dragon!"

Hey!
A black dragon, hundreds of meters long, appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

The dragon head, as tall as a three- or four-story building, was dark and ferocious, with two large, cold, scarlet eyes, and was surrounded by a mist of silver and black.

An invisible force appeared out of thin air, and the nine gray-clad men were instantly frozen in place, like fish in ice. Even the bright silver net of magical threads that shot out from behind them was fixed in mid-air.

Immediately, the black dragon, like lightning, rapidly circled Chen Mu once, and the nine gray-clad men were swallowed whole by the Candle Dragon Dharma Form without any resistance.

hum...

The air trembled as the enormous dragon head floated silently behind Chen Mu. Its blood-red eyes coldly gazed at Qin Yue's figure in the distance.

"Dragon Taming Divine Power?!" Qin Yue turned around and looked at the enormous black dragon floating in mid-air, his scalp tingling.

"Isn't it a bit too much for your Imperial Dragon City to do?" He stared at Chen Mu with a grim expression.

I originally thought he was just an ant who had luckily gained the favor of a divine weapon, but I never expected him to have such supernatural powers.

Trouble!
"You should think carefully about the consequences of offending my Santu City," Qin Yue said seriously, taking a deep breath.

"My ancestor's lifespan is nearing its end, and the White Bird Divine Weapon is of paramount importance to the future of my Three Paths City," he explained patiently.

"If you can return to Santu City with me and hand over the White Bird Divine Weapon, you will be rewarded handsomely."

“We can even use this as an opportunity to form an alliance and fight against the invasion of Wuxiang City together.”

“But if you do not comply, then you will be making an enemy of my Qin family.”

"If you cut off my Qin family's escape route, my ancestor will probably risk his life to destroy your Imperial Dragon City," Qin Yue said coldly.

"Think about it, I can wait for you..."

What nonsense are you spouting?
Chen Mu looked completely bewildered.

I just said I would return the stones to you, do you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears?
Return Emperor Dragon City, return the alliance?

I don't care about this or that, please turn around, magic gourd!
next moment.

Inside the Daoji Jade Seed, a yellow gourd spun rapidly.

puff!
A pale yellow light suddenly appeared behind Qin Yue and then pierced into the back of Qin Yue's head with a whoosh.

Qin Yue, who was earnestly trying to persuade Chen Mu, suddenly froze.

His pupils dilated and he looked dazed; his skin cracked and crumbled into pieces of white ash.

Before long, he turned into ashes, leaving only a fist-sized gray stone floating in mid-air.

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the rather familiar stone.

At this moment, the gray stone that had been pretending to be dead and motionless inside the secret passage also transformed into gray energy and emerged from between the eyebrows.

Snapped!
With a soft sound, the two merged into one, instantly transforming into... transforming into a stone the size of two fists.

Its surface is still so rough, looking like broken stones that can be found anywhere in a stone pit.

"Is this the legendary divine weapon?"

"Is this what the city lords rely on to open up their cities?" Chen Mu asked, quite surprised.

He had thought it would be a treasure trove shaped like a sword, spear, halberd, or a bronze tripod or jade vase.

Unexpectedly, the so-called divine weapon looks like a stone that can be found anywhere.

"Was the supernatural power that could awaken the supernatural abilities of the Yin spirit also created by this stone?"

"If I possess a divine weapon, will I be able to have a continuous supply of supernatural power to feed the Yin Spirit Embryo?"

Chen Mu's eyes lit up immediately. "According to the information Xu Gui has gathered, the divine weapon is quite costly."

"No city lord who wielded a divine weapon ever lived past sixty."

“I do want supernatural powers, but I don’t want to lose my lifespan. So…” Chen Mu smiled as he looked at Xu Gui beside him.

"Fatty, do you want a divine weapon?"

"Just say the word, and I'll give it to you right now!"

Stunned by the sudden turn of events, Xu Gui stared blankly at the gray stone floating in mid-air, a fervent look rising in his eyes.

He was about to nod subconsciously when his peripheral vision caught sight of the inconspicuous patch of grayish-white ash on the ground. He snapped back to reality and immediately shook his head vigorously.

I don't want to turn into that pile of ashes on the ground!

"Don't be afraid, I really want to give it to you." Chen Mu said enthusiastically, "This is all for your own good."

You're kidding me!
I think you're just trying to set me up, kill me to silence me, and block the news about the divine weapon!
Xu Gui rolled his eyes and remained silent.

"Don't you love to enjoy life? If you become the city lord, you can use all the city's resources at will. You won't have to go out and pick longevity rice. You can sleep in Fanlou all day long." Chen Mu continued to entice and incite.

I do enjoy life, but you have to be alive to enjoy it!

Xu Gui shook his head again.

"If you shake your head again, I'll shove it into your head," Chen Mu threatened.

"Just stuff it in, I'll just take it out."

Xu Gui waved his hand dismissively, like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

"Aren't you afraid of following in the footsteps of your deputy city lord, being so stubborn?" Chen Mu pointed at the ashes in the distance and glared at Xu Gui.

"So you admit it, you really were going to kill me to silence me." Xu Gui muttered to himself with a mournful face.

Chen Mu: "..."

Why can't I even give away a precious gift?

……

In a misty forest, in a small valley, a thatched-roof wooden house with a ceiling two meters high appeared out of nowhere.

Chen Mu lay on the rocking chair on the wooden porch in front of the door, staring at the gray stone in mid-air with a troubled expression.

Having killed Qin Yue, who had close ties to Santu City, it was clear that going to Santu City was out of the question.

Chen Mu then took Xu Gui and found this small valley to stay temporarily.

Then I started to struggle with what to do with the divine weapon I had unexpectedly acquired.

He wanted supernatural powers, but he was afraid of risking his life.

They wanted to use Xu Gui as a tool, but that fatso refused to comply.

It's a shame to throw it away, but keeping it means I can only look at it and dare not use it.

"How can I get supernatural powers for free?" Chen Mu stared blankly at the gray, stone-shaped divine weapon.

The stone was grayish-brown all over, and at first glance it looked like a useless stone.

Only upon close inspection can one discover that there are some silvery veins inside the stone.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Mu suddenly felt that the stone looked somewhat familiar.

Who does he look like?

Chen Mu's heart stirred.

Black and white light flashed, and a jet-black moon blade and a pale white hollow bone ball emerged from between the eyebrows.

Chen Mu stared at the unexpected twists and turns and carefully recalled them.

Before it unexpectedly absorbed the Dragon Ball's spiritual energy and became an external magic weapon, it was just an ordinary magic artifact, nothing special.

Its aura was remarkably similar to that of the divine weapon before them.

"The precious light is concealed, and the divine object remains hidden?"

"So, this divine weapon might be the inherent power of some kind of demon?!"

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"Since it is a root talent, it can be put to use as long as it is integrated with spiritual energy."

"I may not have any magical artifacts or spiritual mechanisms, but I do have the Seal of Life and Death!"

Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

The Seal of Life and Death is a perfected product of the Lingbao Pivot Chapter. It can assist in controlling magical artifacts and treasures, allowing them to unleash their full power.

Previously, Chen Mu had kept it inside the eye of the Cardinal of Thousand Lanterns City. Because of this, the Thousand Lanterns City gate, which was originally quite difficult to open, became open at will, its size entirely at his discretion.

"If it can work on cave heavens, it will definitely be fine to use it to control this so-called divine weapon!"

"Activating the divine weapon indirectly through a layer of the Life and Death Seal might prevent damage to one's lifespan!"

Chen Mu was deeply moved.

Immediately, the silver, mist-like Seal of Life and Death appeared before them, moving nimbly around.

"Give it a try!"

With a thought, the Seal of Life and Death easily entered the gray stone.

hum!
The entire stone trembled slightly, and an invisible wave emanated from the divine weapon stone, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

The white mist that originally enveloped the entire valley seemed to be pushed away rapidly by an invisible barrier.

"Divine weapon barrier?"

"Haha, it's done!"
