My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 137 Bigu Pill

One month later

Chen Residence in Jingxingfang, Nanyang Prefecture.

As usual, Chen Mu built a thatched shed on the east side of the courtyard, and the ground was paved with blue bricks.

Under the shed, there was a row of rocking chairs, and on a low table next to them, there was a full selection of incense, milk tea, snacks, and dried fruit.

He squinted and nestled in the rocking chair.

Her breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, changing quickly yet surprisingly with a smooth, flowing rhythm.

In his mind, deep within the mist, as if viewed through frosted glass, a three-dimensional pattern connected by star-like threads constantly changed and flickered with Chen Mu's breath.

After a long while, Chen Mu trembled and opened his eyes.

"There are 360 ​​changes in one breathing cycle, which is probably the limit."

The subtle insights gained from proficiency slowly faded from my mind.

“Breathing techniques are an index, a gateway, and a starting point.”

"The divine will is the core." Chen Mu said thoughtfully, "The breathing technique adjusts the mind and body, just to put people into a special state!"

Some ancient beliefs hold that different breathing frequencies can put a person in different states.

It can either calm the mind and make one more focused, or it can stimulate the mind and make one more creative.

Breathing techniques are probably similar, but even more mysterious.

"If one day I can directly enter the state, perhaps I can get rid of the breathing method." Chen Mu had a sudden realization.

A thought struck me, and a gray wall appeared before my eyes.

Chen Mu looked at the bottom entry.

Cloud Mirage Form Refinement Technique: 1955/10000/Tier 5;

"At the current rate, it should take another four months or so to complete the Armor Soul training."

"More than a month and less than a fifth? Tsk tsk... that's really slow!" Chen Mu tried hard to suppress the urge to curl his lips and shook his head in dismay.

With a thought, a jet-black substance surged forward like black water, starting from the back of his head.

It was like a helmet that fit snugly against the skin, instantly covering Chen Mu's head completely, not even sparing his hair.

And it spread down the neck.

Chen Mu pulled open his shirt to check.

The wandering spirit only covered the shoulder area before losing strength.

"If we add the other six wandering spirits..."

Swish!
The dark, powerful energy surged downwards rapidly, only stopping below the ribs.

"It seems that the armor will be ready in less than four months..."

"what!"

Chen Mu quickly covered his mouth, "Don't laugh, absolutely don't laugh!"
What am I compared to those scions of aristocratic families who have the bloodline to enhance their cultivation speed!

Moreover, they also possess a protective aura!

I'm just an ordinary person, what's there to be proud of!
You must guard against arrogance and impatience, and learn to control your emotions and desires!
"Hmm, let's go to Chunfeng Tower tonight. I haven't seen Yutao in a long time, and I miss her terribly."

……

He was lost in his fantasies.

goo...

A series of squeals came from its belly.

Chen Mu reached out and took the plate of dried fruit from the low table.

Pick up a 2.0 version Bigu pill, stuff it into your mouth, and chew it with a crunching sound.

“It’s hard to cultivate such charisma,” Chen Mu shook his head.

Since he started practicing the Cloud Mirage Form Refinement Technique, his appetite has increased again. He can't even get enough to eat after five meals a day.

"Thanks to Bigu Pill 2.0".

It has a chocolate flavor, higher calories, more nutrients, and is more filling.

Two of these would be enough for an average person to last a day, but Chen Mu treated them like candy, eating twenty or thirty of them every day.

"We still need to make improvements," Chen Mu pondered.

What others spent decades cultivating their souls, he shortened to five months. With the cultivation of the Armored Soul, the later stages might consume even more resources.

"I wonder what a real fasting pill looks like," Chen Mu thought leisurely.

"I doubt there's a main beam."

"How did this old man know about the Bigu Pill?" Chen Mu asked thoughtfully.

"Isn't this old man a local?"

……

Do you have any fasting pills?

In the evening, at his home in Jingxingfang, Chen Mu set a table full of dishes and meat on the dining table.

Hand-pulled mutton, honey-glazed roasted meat, braised beef—bowls of various meat dishes occupied most of the square table.

"This..." Jie Jia frowned, looking at the large table of meat with some hesitation.

"It doesn't taste good?" Chen Mu glared at Jie Jia.

"It doesn't look good."

Chen Mu pouted, "I don't have time for plating." He has a huge appetite now, and his focus when cooking is on two things: delicious taste and large quantity.

Jie Jia shook his head. "Fine, let's just make do with this."

"The pills aren't cheap," Jie Jia said calmly, swallowing the garlic-flavored pork belly in his mouth.

"Really?" Chen Mu became interested.

One is enough.

Jie Jia narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chen Mu: "You can't imitate it."

Chen Mu chuckled: "I won't imitate it, I won't imitate it."

It's a knock-off!
Jie Jia raised his eyelids slightly, his bright yellow eyes moved slightly, and he slowly extended a finger.

Chen Mu curled his lip: "I knew you old man would take advantage of the situation."

A fist-sized plume of black smoke appeared, and a gray cloth bag appeared in front of the armored man, containing one hundred taels of silver.

Jie Jia lowered his head, poked the cloth bag twice with his finger, and then looked up at Chen Mu without saying a word.

Chen Mu was baffled. What did that mean?
“Not enough,” Jie Jia said calmly.

"One...one thousand taels?!"

"Fine!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, it was something from overseas; maybe only Jiejia could sell it.

Jie Jia stared at Chen Mu's expression, seemingly...

"Cough...it's ten thousand..."

"I don't want it anymore!" Chen Mu glared at Jie Jia.

“Then a thousand!” Jie Jia said decisively.

Chen Mu looked at Jie Jia with a complicated expression.

How could he be so unsurprised?!

"No, you have to create another fake identity for me."

He always feels cheated if he doesn't order anything.

"Okay." Jie Jia put away the silver note, a faint smile appearing on his face.

It's not easy to find a sucker.

Chen Mu was so angry he didn't want to say anything. This old man was taking every opportunity to trick him!
But what can you do when someone else's product is irreplaceable?

"Don't eat it all at once," Jie Jia reminded Chen Mu, handing him a white porcelain bottle.

"What? It's poisonous too?" Chen Mu was still eager to try it.

"They'll choke to death," Jie Jia said calmly.

Chen Mu: “…”

……

After the meal, Chen Mu saw Jie Jia off and sat down at his desk in the room to light an oil lamp.

Take out the porcelain bottle given by Jie Jia and pour it out.

"This thing is a fasting pill."

Chen Mu held a white jade-colored pill the size of a longan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This old man wouldn't just casually polish a jade bead to fool me, would he?"

This old man has a criminal record for selling counterfeit medicine!
The Bigu Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine) is round and smooth, with a white jade-like color, and feels heavy in the palm of your hand.

Chen Mu clenched his fists slightly, but they remained completely still.

He has mastered all seven forms of physical training, making his strength incredibly powerful; just now, he could crush a stone bead with a single squeeze.

"interesting!"

Chen Mu placed the small porcelain dish on the desk.

A powerful aura covered his right hand, his jet-black index fingernail slightly scratching.

squeak...

A series of teeth-grinding, grinding sounds rang out.

Tiny fragments of white jade fell, releasing a faint, refreshing scent of herbs and trees.

"It's not a stone after all."

I dipped a little powder in my mouth and put it in. The powder was like a marshmallow, melting instantly in my mouth.

A sweet, cool sensation washed over me, then flowed down my throat and into my stomach.

A feeling of fullness suddenly came over me.

"That's awesome!"

"If we can replicate it, we won't have to worry about consuming the Cloud Mirage Form Refining Technique." Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

"No rush, we can take it slowly later."

Black smoke appeared, and the Bigu Pill was put into the Five Ghosts Bag.

"There are more important things to do now."

Chen Mu straightened his clothes, changed his appearance, and looked at himself in the mirror from left to right.

Completely unrecognizable, very good!
Then he leisurely went out and headed straight for Chunfeng Tower in Beishi.
