My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 214 The Extraordinary Person
The boat was over 200 meters long, half the size of the one we had traveled on before, but it was still a huge vessel.

Snow-white pillars, transparent curtain wall, luminescent algae.

On both sides are multi-level cabins attached to the inner walls, most of which are various shops.

Chen Mu, dressed in a gray outfit and carrying a brown cloth bag, strolled around the cabins of the ship.

He needs to find a suitable buyer for the Divine Pill.

"It can't be too small."

Small shops, eager to expand, might resort to any means necessary to control this source of income.

"It can't be too big either."

A large shop with immense power can be easily investigated and exposed by anyone with even a little bit of ulterior motive.

“Yu Pin Xuan is just right.” Chen Mu stood in front of a shop.

He wandered around the boat for two hours, visiting nine shops selling elixirs, and finally chose Yupinxuan.

It was neither too big nor too small; it didn't care much about the benefits of the Tranquilizing Pill, nor was it willing to spend manpower and resources to investigate it.

After looking around to make sure there were no customers in the store for the time being, Chen Mu adjusted his expression and entered Yu Pin Xuan as he passed the entrance for the third time.

The owner, a mild-mannered middle-aged man in his forties, said: "Welcome, what do you need, guest?"

Chen Mu placed the package behind him on the counter without expression, and said with feigned composure, "Help me process a batch of calming pills."

“Sure,” the pale-faced middle-aged man said casually. “Forty pieces, one white jade coin.”

Chen Mu opened the package and pushed it in front of the middle-aged man: "Okay."

The man simply opened the bottle cap, smelled it, and then casually pulled out twenty white jade coins.

It was as casual as if he had just bought two pounds of yellow sprout rice, rather than twenty bottles of calming pills.

It's that simple?
Why not check them one by one, ask about the origin of the pills, and try to negotiate a lower price?
"Is there anything else you need, guest?" The middle-aged man's expression remained gentle.

"That's all." Chen Mu nodded slightly, then turned and left.

It wasn't until he was far away from Yupinxuan that Chen Mu came back to his senses with a wry smile.

"I was so careful, but I didn't expect that they didn't even want the Tranquilizing Pill."

"It's just an ordinary pill after all," Chen Mu realized.

"Compared to pills like Bigu Pill and Concentration Pill, which require special refining techniques, they are ultimately not in the same league."

It's better if you don't like it!
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The plan to sell elixirs via the guillotine ship is now complete. It's even safer and more convenient than the underground market.

"Then... sell more?" Chen Mu thought for a moment and shook his head in denial.

The ship docks once a month, around the middle or end of the month, and each time it sells exactly twenty bottles of calming pills.

"Slow and steady wins the race."

……

Having successfully sold the Tranquilizing Pill and confirmed that it was a safe channel, Chen Mu finally had the leisure to stroll around the boat.

After visiting several teahouses and taverns, Chen Mu couldn't help but recall his first impression of Bai Qun Suo—expensive!

The prices on this ship were so high they made his scalp tingle.

The payment methods mostly required the use of white jade coins!

They dare to charge a single white jade coin just for the entrance ticket to the Red Sleeve Pavilion! That's equivalent to half a month's wages for a disciple of the lower courtyard!

It's said there's some kind of large-scale, extraordinary song and dance performance, a completely new version that's never been seen before.

There are also the same delicacies as those at Tianhe Water Mansion, which will definitely make people linger.

"I just don't believe it!" Chen Mu said defiantly.

I am the little prince of Chunfenglou, I've seen all kinds of performances and eaten all kinds of delicious food!

This is false advertising!

It must be criticized!

A white jade coin?

At worst, we can just sell another bottle of calming pills!

I'm doing this entirely to expose the true colors of unscrupulous merchants, and definitely not to watch any kind of performance by extraordinary individuals!
……

Three days later, in the valley behind the low mountain.

biu!

puff!
A watermelon-sized rock was lying there peacefully, having done nothing wrong, when suddenly a hole was punched in it.

Before it could even resist, it was left with a pockmarked face.

On a distant boulder, Chen Mu sat cross-legged, his right palm facing upward, resting on his knee.

A black and red pellet, about the size of a peanut, appeared and disappeared in his palm.

Chen Mu's eyes were fixed blankly on the innocent rocks in the distance, and he kept firing sand-spraying projectiles at a rate of one every two seconds.

Although he had returned from the boat three days ago, he still couldn't forget what he had seen at the Red Sleeves Pavilion.

The young ladies who wanted to freeload seemed even more enthusiastic. But they still couldn't break through Chen Mu's defenses—as long as he didn't want to, absolutely no one could get a free meal from him!

Then came the food, including various exotic beasts from the Tongtian River, which broadened his horizons.

What concerned him most was the performance of the superhumans.

It has long wings, scales, furry ears, and fiery red eyes.

She's both pitiful and alluring, and indeed quite like a brand new version.

Chen Mu observed carefully and offered his critique. Unfortunately, he had some cognitive impairment and was completely unable to distinguish whether something was beautiful or not, but he still expressed that he was deeply impressed.

"This unscrupulous merchant has some really good tricks up his sleeve!" Chen Mu expressed his deep admiration.

However, the extraordinary person...

Is this what is meant by special bloodline?

"It doesn't look very human, hmm... at least it's not pure."

"I've heard there are pills that can grant special bloodlines."

"I've learned something new," Chen Mu exclaimed.

"Old Hao is right. Staying cooped up here farming all the time and being isolated from information can easily lead to being out of touch with the world." Chen Mu shook his head helplessly: "It seems I'll have to visit Hongxiufang a few more times."

"It's not for the performance, anyway, I don't know if it's good or not."

"Simply to gather information and broaden my horizons."

"This white jade coin must be spent!"

Thinking about seeing the brand-new performance again in just over ten days... no, I mean, the headline of the Yunzhou cultivation world, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Then, one after another, black and red pills the size of soybeans appeared in my palm.

chi chi chi...

A series of sharp cries rang out.

That innocent watermelon-shaped rock, in the end, was unwillingly reduced to fragments.

"You've advanced?" Chen Mu looked at the soybean-sized black and red pill in his palm with surprise.

Sand-containing spell: 3/10000/Tier 4;

"Faster and faster startup time, it's finally starting to look decent." Chen Mu was pleased.

He was just about to continue testing the new sand-sprinkling technique.

The raised hand suddenly stopped.

"Who is that?"

From the perspective of the five ghosts, two figures appeared next to their own yellow rice field.

The other person paused to look at the loose, fertile land, and then headed straight for his courtyard.

"You came to see me?" Chen Mu frowned.

He didn't know either of them at all.

"Forget it, let's hide for a while."

They quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground in the small hill.

Place one of the Five Ghosts in the woods atop the low hill to keep watch.

Then Chen Mu went into the underground space inside the mountain valley.

……

Three days later, through the perspective of the Five Ghosts, Chen Mu helplessly watched two figures climbing up the mountain.

This was the third time the other party had visited the courtyard in Aishan.

If he continues to hide, it will arouse their suspicion.

How could someone who stays at home all year round go out every day? They're obviously avoiding them.

What if it attracts the attention of the two people secretly spying on him... Chen Mu found the thought troublesome.

"Let's see what kind of trouble these two are up to."
