My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 198 The Secret Technique of Containing Sand
Five days later, on the north side of the low mountain, in a small valley.

Scattered rocks and thorny bushes are the main features of the mountain valley.

On a huge stone platform, Chen Mu sat cross-legged.

He opened his right hand and lifted it upwards.

Accompanied by a deep and lengthy incantation, black spiritual energy surged upwards from the palm of his right hand, gathering into a sphere.

Chen Mu felt as if a vacuum cleaner had been stuffed into his brain.

A tremendous suction force continuously pulls something outward.

He stared at the black sphere floating in his palm, his expression strange: "Sand-containing technique? This sphere doesn't look like sand at all?"

Woo!
The sphere, like a cannonball blasted by gunpowder, suddenly detached from my right hand, cutting through the air with a low whistle.

boom!
With a muffled thud, earth and rocks flew into the air, and a large crater three or four meters in diameter was instantly blasted open in the ravine.

Chen Mu glanced at it, then closed his eyes and continued chanting the incantation.

woo woo woo...

bang bang bang...

One pit after another appeared, and the small animals in the ravine were all frightened and fled in all directions.

After a long while, Chen Mu stopped and silently summarized his plans as he looked at the devastated mountain valley.

"The attack range is approximately sixty paces."

"Power..." Chen Mu stared at the unrecognizable mountain valley and nodded: "It's acceptable."

"Maximum number of consecutive uses... 21."

With a thought, Chen Mu summoned the gray wall.

Sand-containing spell: 339/10000/Tier 1;
"With subsequent upgrades, its power and number of uses will likely increase further," Chen Mu thought to himself. "Perhaps it can replace the Iron Lotus Seed and become the main means of mid-range attack."

“It’s this activation time…” Chen Mu’s expression was a little grim.

From chanting the mantra to activating the incantation, there is almost a minute of preparation time.

With that kind of skill, the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains would have already devoured the enemy!

"This is still the secret technique with the shortest activation time." Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

Just as lecturer Zhuang Fu said, the secret techniques are numerous and bizarre, but not suitable for excessive practice.

The activation time is long, the cultivation time is long, and the more you practice, the more money and time you spend. It will definitely affect the cultivation of the unity of spirit and soul.

"Let's practice the Sand-Containing Technique first. Let's see if it can shorten the time for the soul to unite."

"We'll practice the other secret techniques after we synthesize the jade seed," Chen Mu decided.

……

three days later.

A courtyard nestled in a low hill, beneath a wooden shed, beside a well.

Chen Mu finished a training session of the White Yang True Understanding.

Instead of taking a break and drinking tea as usual, he immediately began practicing the Sand-Containing Technique. His aura sphere appeared and disappeared intermittently.

He practiced while staring at the gray wall.

After continuously casting the Sand-Containing Technique twelve times, taking a quarter of an hour, Chen Mu stopped chanting.

"I never expected that the Jade Seed Secret Technique could actually accelerate the fusion of the soul and spirit."

He had previously thought this was a trick by the Scripture Transmission Institute to trick people into buying secret techniques.

Using proficiency scores as a benchmark, Chen Mu tested for three consecutive days and finally found the best combination of training methods.

First, practice the White Yang True Explanation for half an hour, and then immediately begin practicing the Sand-Containing Technique.

At this time, not only will the proficiency of the Sand-Containing Technique increase, but you can also gain experience from the White Sun True Solution.

But you can only practice twelve times, for a quarter of an hour.

Continuing further will only increase the experience gained from the Sand-Containing Technique.

But in just this short period of time, Bai Yang's proficiency in the True Meaning of the Sun can increase by three points.

Reciting the White Yang True Explanation for half an hour only adds six points.

In a quarter of the time it takes to cultivate the White Yang True Scripture, you can gain nearly half the experience! You can also complete the Sand-Containing Technique cultivation at the same time!

"Is the teaching at the Scripture Transmission Academy about these secret cultivation methods?"

"Ah……"

"If I were to combine these tips with my own insights into proficiency and compile them into a book, wouldn't it fetch a high price?" Chen Mu thought to himself with a hint of malice.

"If I weren't afraid of getting burned, I would definitely use this method to scam the Scripture Transmission Academy!" Chen Mu shrugged.

……

Just as Chen Mu was about to continue working on Bai Yang's True Explanation, his expression suddenly changed.

Black smoke billowed rapidly, and the Soul-Stabilizing Pillar was the first to be removed.

The calming pills on the wooden shelf vanished into thin air, and piles of medicinal herbs that needed to be dried appeared in the bamboo baskets. The dried cured meat hanging under the eaves was taken down, and the yellow sprout rice piled in the corner was replaced with silver pearl rice.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu put away the rocking chair and replaced it with a small bamboo stool.

He sat in front of the low table, silently flipping through a book titled "The Art of Preparing Medicine".

boom!
Not long after, the wooden gate was kicked open. The bolt was even broken.

A well-dressed man in black, leading four or five men in similar gray attire, burst into the courtyard.

Chen Mu recognized the clothes on the men's clothes; they were all patrol personnel from the lower courtyard.

The strong, muscular man was the leader of the patrol.

He looked at Chen Mu indifferently and said calmly, "Chen Mu?"

Chen Mu quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "It is I. I was unaware of the Inspector's arrival; I have failed you..."

The black-clad patrol officer waved his hand to interrupt Chen Mu: "Just cooperate with the search for heretical villains in the lower courtyard."

He immediately turned to four or five people and waved: "Search carefully!"

Chen Mu's expression changed, and he immediately took two steps forward, grasped the man's right hand, and handed him two white jade coins.

"You must be tired from patrolling, come and have a cup of herbal tea."

The burly man raised an eyebrow, did not resist, and was pulled under the wooden shed by Chen Mu.

With a flick of his hand, the white jade coin vanished.

He took the herbal tea Chen Mu handed him and nodded slightly to the others: "Go ahead, search carefully."

The solemn expressions on their faces immediately softened.

After rushing into Chen Mu's room, although they rummaged around, they handled everything gently.

The two white jade coins worked.

The courtyard was not large to begin with, and the main house only had three rooms, so it was quickly seen.

"The inspection report shows nothing suspicious," a square-faced man in black said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

The burly man nodded, then turned to look at Chen Mu: "Do you know Dong Cheng?"

Chen Mu shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

"Do you know any peddlers who buy and sell goods?" the well-dressed man asked, staring at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know one."

"Who?"

"I don't know his name, he was a chubby guy with small eyes, I think his surname was Shang," Chen Mu said, trying hard to recall.

The square-faced man nodded to the black-clad patrolman.

The black-clad patrol officer looked Chen Mu up and down again, then calmly warned him, "No matter what your status is on the remote island, here you are just a disciple of the lower courtyard of the Chicken Cage Sect."

"Just farm honestly and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, the lower house inspector won't let you off the hook."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Chen Mu quickly bowed and agreed.

The black-clad patrol officer nodded in satisfaction and quickly disappeared with his men.

Chen Mu stood at the door, smiling as he saw them off, watching them disappear, lost in thought.

"The Dong Cheng saga doesn't seem to be over yet."

……

In the evening, at a square table under the wooden shed.

Chen Mu prepared dinner: two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a large bowl of silver pearl rice mixed with yellow sprout rice.

"You outsiders are really unlucky," Old Hao joked with a smile as he ate.

"Dong Cheng was about to go to the lower academy to become an apprentice. But he suddenly disappeared. If you ask me, he's probably gone." Old Hao pointed at the sky with his chopsticks.

"He used to cheat newcomers from out of town, and there are even rumors that he caused someone's death."

"So the inspectors suspect that the person who killed him is among you newcomers." Old Hao looked at Chen Mu with a smug expression.

“You come from the remote borderlands, and Dong Cheng has ruthlessly swindled people like you.”

"It's only natural that we'd be subjected to intense questioning."

Chen Mu said angrily, "I just want to farm honestly."

"How could I have gotten myself into this mess?"

"When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will suffer."

Facing Hao Lao's teasing expression, Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

"Ugh……"

"An unexpected disaster!"
