My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 111 Targeting
"Jie Jia said that the training method is complete."

"The Red Falcon Form Training Technique has reached its limit."

"Keep practicing your proficiency; the most likely thing you'll grasp is an extension of divine intent."

Chen Mu calmly analyzed the reasons for the increase in the Red Falcon Formation Technique.

"Proficiency is bringing the divine intent closer to the Hundred Intent Light Spell."

"Since all the Form Refinement Techniques originate from the Spirit Light Spell, once you understand one, you understand everything. If one improves, the others will also improve as a result." Chen Mu had a rough guess.

"If I catch an upgrade, I should be able to master the Armor Soul."

Anyway, cultivating divine intention is not difficult; just use the modified breathing method.

It can be maintained even while walking, standing, sitting, or lying down. It also saves the trouble of searching everywhere for training techniques.

"Those bastards from the aristocratic families are real scum! They hoard all the good stuff for themselves," Chen Mu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"If I had a superior body-refining technique that could allow my wandering soul to cover half of my body, wouldn't I be able to complete the armored soul form after just one breakthrough?"

The Red Falcon Form Refining Technique's Soul-Traveling Area is too small. Just a fat soybean? Ha...

Even if you practice with large soybeans, accumulating two, four, or eight soybeans at a time, and making a breakthrough every month, it would still take nearly twelve years to cover your entire body.

It takes 36 years to break through once every three months.

"It's been such a long time... actually... it's not so bad, huh?" Chen Mu suddenly laughed.

As long as you follow the steps and don't compete or fight, you can master the Armored Soul at fifty, which is not bad at all.

Old Ge is seventy-five and he's only just achieved mastery of the form. I can be considered a genius!
If you use the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape to pile things up, it will be even faster!

It might be resolved in a year or two!

"It's a pity I can only dream about it." After chuckling for a while, Chen Mu stopped.

He wasn't sure if God's will could be broken through indefinitely.

The effectiveness of each breakthrough is uncertain.

What if we only add one soybean each time?

"I still need to keep practicing my Body Refinement Techniques," Chen Mu decided.

……

The future is bright; we just need to take it one step at a time.

Chen Mu stayed at home, ignoring the outside disturbances.

Five days later.

The Black Tiger Form Refinement Technique successfully reached its limit.

Another divine intention, formed by connecting star-like threads, appeared in my mind.

Two quail egg-sized spirits appeared in the palms of his hands.

He pulled a piece of firewood from the stove, grabbed it with both hands, and exerted force.

The hard pine wood, like a soft cake, was instantly crushed and burst.

"Finger grip strength has significantly improved."

He gently ran his right hand across the brick stove. Five clearly visible scratches appeared.

"The bones, skin, and nails at the fingertips also seem to be harder."

"It's alright."

Chen Mu returned to the low table under the eaves.

He took out the White Jade Toad Form Refinement Technique, which he had examined several times.

This is a high-level training technique, and the area of ​​soul cultivation is highly anticipated.

After reviewing and confirming the breathing and posture again, Chen Mu got up and practiced.

In no time, I got the hang of it, and a wealth of insights flooded my mind.

Another form-training technique has been completed, Yi Jin Jing.

……

After having dinner in the evening, Chen Mu strolled to Chunfenglou Restaurant in Beishi, intending to treat himself to another meal.

He practiced various physical training techniques, and even without the ability to stack armor, his physical attributes far surpassed those of ordinary martial artists. He digested food quickly and could easily eat two extra meals.

As you enter the lobby on the first floor, you are greeted by a constant stream of laughter and cheerful conversation under the dim lighting.

Chen Mu was taken aback. This was quite different from what it had been a month ago.

Back then, the Jinghong Gang and Tangshan Camp took away a large number of wandering martial arts practitioners.

The streets were deserted, and the Chunfeng Tower was not very lively either.

It's even more lively now than before the Jinghong Gang went north!
As usual, I sat in a corner, ordered a table full of big dishes, sent away the girls who were freeloading, and released little paper figures all around.

Chen Mu listened to the news while enjoying the stage performance.

……

"Brother, you came from the north, could you tell us what's going on over there?" In a private room on the east side of the hall, five or six people were drinking and chatting.

"One word—chaos." A gaunt old man in his fifties shook his head and sighed.

"There are thirteen rebel kings whose names are known on the surface." "And there are countless other small and large bandit kings."

"They fought against the imperial court, against the local powerful clans, and even against each other among the rebel kings."

"A rebel king who is still known today may be gone tomorrow."

"The worst off are the ordinary people, who are repeatedly plundered."

“When I came here, I even encountered several counties that had been completely slaughtered.”

The old man shuddered, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

"That's terrible!" The people around couldn't help but feel shocked.

"It's even worse than this. In broad daylight, it's eerily quiet, with ghostly figures and evil spirits running rampant." The old man sighed with lingering fear, "Compared to this, Nanyang Prefecture is simply a paradise!"

"I hope Tangshan Camp can wipe out the bandits and stop the rebel army of displaced people," a person nearby prayed anxiously.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "The nearest rebel king is called Chao Tianwang. No one knows his origins. He has twelve brothers under his command, each of whom has mastered the martial arts."

"Fortunately, this man is based in Liangyue Prefecture in the north and has no intention of invading the south. With him acting as a shield for Nanyang, this place is still quite safe."

"Since ancient times, wars have never broken out in the Jinshui River area. This place is too remote and not a place for dragons to rise. That's why I ran all the way here to seek refuge."

“Our Nanyang Prefecture is not remote. Look at the benefits our Jinghong Gang offers when recruiting.” A man next to him winked smugly.

"Don't be so smug. The powerful clans in the north are also recruiting, and they give you five Yellow Sprout Pills as soon as you enter, similar to the Dragon Transformation Pills of the Jinghong Gang. How about that reward?" the old man said with a squinting smile.

"That's amazing?!" The others were immediately filled with envy, questioning their own existence.

The Jinghong Gang only gave two.

"You might be able to take it, but you might not be able to eat it." The old man said meaningfully, "The north is so chaotic. In a conflict, it's very common for ten or eight people who have reached the Great Perfection of Form to die."

If it weren't so dangerous, why would he come to Nanyang?

Several men who had undergone the most bone-changing procedures immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

Forget it, it's more comfortable staying in Nanyang.

……

In the corner, Chen Mu listened to their conversation and couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

"Fortunately, I traveled to Qingshan County in Nanyang Prefecture."

"If I were even a little further north, I probably wouldn't be alive today!"

He stayed in Nanyang. Even when Qingshan County was attacked and captured by bandits and rebel troops, he was not harmed.

Compared to the war raging in the heart of Daliang, that little bit of chaos was nothing.

"Are those powerful families in the north also recruiting people to fight ghosts and monsters?"

"The Thousand Machine Token is really tempting." Chen Mu gloated, "Go ahead and beat them until their brains are knocked out."

……

On his way home, Chen Mu silently pondered what he had just seen and heard.

"No wonder so many people came. They all fled from the north to seek refuge."

"I wonder how long this war will last."

Chen Mu was filled with worry.

"We'll stock up on another batch of supplies tomorrow."

He sensed that more and more people would be coming to Nanyang Prefecture in the future. Prices were about to rise.

"Try to reduce the frequency of going out."

With such a diverse group of people, disputes might easily arise.

Disputes can lead to trouble.

……

At night, Chen Mu finished washing up and went to bed.

Half-asleep, I vaguely heard a melodious song.

The singing was beautiful beyond words, yet it felt strangely familiar.

Chen Mu woke up with a start.

Three strange syllables were uttered quickly.

Five little paper figures were suddenly stuck to his face.

The icy touch sent a shiver down his spine. His dazed state vanished instantly.

Chen Mu quickly got up, went outside, and climbed onto the roof.

A few hundred meters away on the Luohe River, a red multi-story ship can be vaguely seen in the white mist.

Several indistinct figures stood by the windows of the ship, quietly watching as the red boat sailed further and further away.

"grass!"

"They've got their eyes on me?!"
