My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 218 Inventory
half a month later.

At the foot of the low hill, in the fields of yellow rice, the soil is dry and loose.

Two palm-widths deep underground, a single, narrow, glistening yellow sprout suddenly appeared.

Then, centered on the yellow rice, within a circular area about the length of a forearm in diameter, a handful of bone meal appeared out of thin air and was evenly stuffed into the cracks in the soil.

In the void, a burst of icy spring water was gushed out, wetting the soil around Huangyami.

The Five Ghosts Bag was used to feed the well, which was filled with spring water.

The two storage compartments contained seeds and bone meal, respectively.

As Chen Mu strolled through the yellow rice fields, this scene unfolded one after another.

They planted as they went, and in no time at all, the ten acres of yellow sprout rice fields were successfully planted.

Chen Mu stood at the edge of the field, silently calculating: "Adding the ten acres of newly rented land next to it, after paying the rent, I can get about three thousand catties of yellow sprout rice."

"Hmm...enough for me to eat for a year." Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"It's best if the meat from exotic beasts has a source."

It's not cost-effective to always buy food to eat.

"Shall we try the Tongtian River?" Chen Mu was itching to try.

"Maybe we should just forget about it. The Tongtian River is deep and turbulent; what if there's a Dragon King there?" Chen Mu sighed.

Then he subconsciously started thinking about the recipe for the intoxicating bait, just in case he needed to use it.

……

At noon, four large bowls of dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, were laid out on the square table.

Old Hao sat opposite him, and the two ate and talked.

"You're really diligent. You've tidied up twenty acres of land so quickly," Old Hao exclaimed in admiration.

"If you have a good harvest this year, you might consider spending money to learn how to grow medicinal herbs," Old Hao suggested after thinking for a moment. "That's more difficult, but the rewards are also relatively higher."

Medicinal herbs?

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat; the profit from yellow sprout rice was ultimately not much.

Growing medicinal herbs might be a good way out.

“Farming is not the way out in the lower courtyard of Chicken Coop Road,” Old Hao suddenly sighed.

“I farmed all my life, saved up money to buy the Jade Seed Secret Method and the Sensing Secret Method, and even went to the Taoist temple five times.”

"Sounds good, but compared to others, tsk tsk..." Old Hao shook his head and sighed.

Do you know the Seven Brothers of Wushan?

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and shook his head, feigning confusion.

"A bunch of bullies." Old Hao said with a look of disdain.

"They set up schemes to harm others, coerce them into helping them farm, and then reap the benefits themselves."

"How can such a wicked person be able to go to the Taoist temple to cultivate every year?!" Old Hao was both angry and envious.

"Hehe, those guys' run into some tough nut to crack," Old Hao gloated.

"The second brother, Zheng Jin, was reportedly killed by the leader of the Purple Bamboo Society."

"Evil will be punished!" Old Hao said with a look of satisfaction.

Chen Mu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, evil will be punished."

"It's a pity about the Purple Bamboo Society. It's said that their leader has been taken missing by the Seven Brothers, forcing them to disband."

Has the Purple Bamboo Society disbanded?
"What about the seven brothers?" Chen Mu asked casually.

"I heard the inspection bureau gave him a good beating, and he's behaved himself now," Old Hao chuckled.

I can rest assured that.

Chen Mu nodded silently.

“The seven Wu brothers deserved their fate, we won’t interfere,” Old Hao said with a sigh. “But Zizhu is innocent.”

"If it weren't for them, the seven Wu brothers wouldn't have been punished. They might have dragged us down with them someday."

"So, we have to help them!"

What is this old man trying to do?
"I happen to have a batch of cheap and effective calming pills on hand."

"Giving it to them will at least save them some money on jade." Old Hao had a look on his face that said, "I'm doing this for their own good."

"It's a pity that Zizhu was hurt by the seven brothers and has become prejudiced against the old disciples." Old Hao shook his head and sighed.

“But you are a new disciple, so you are naturally on their side.”

"After thinking it over, I think the best solution is for you to go and get it for them," Old Hao said, raising an eyebrow.

"I won't let you work for nothing. For every bottle you sell, I'll give you a calming pill."

"Once you sell thirty bottles, you'll have enough cultivation resources for a month."

"How about giving it a try?"

Chen Mu: “…”

Are they trying to get me involved in selling fake pills? To help the Purple Bamboo Society? Bullshit!

It's all about making money by selling drugs!

Chen Mu looked at Old Hao with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but think of Shang Huan behind him.

I asked Shang Huan to sell me medicine, but Shang Huan ended up asking me to be his salesman?
It's really a circle after birth.

……

At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars shine brightly.

Chen Mu lay on the rocking chair, chanting a difficult incantation over and over.

It took him quite a while to stop, and he glanced casually at the gray wall.

Confirmed that the proficiency level of the Hundred Intent Aura Technique has reached 2722.

After glancing at the other projects, Chen Mu closed the gray wall.

He raised his hands, stretched out a big yawn, and then slumped in the rocking chair, staring blankly at the sky.

Farming, eating, and gaining experience points—for the past two weeks, Chen Mu's life has been regular and comfortable, to the point that he's even lost track of time.

"It's so comfortable when no one bothers us."

Black smoke billowed, and a leather wristband appeared in his right hand.

Chen Mu looked at the brand-new mustard seed talisman with thirty-five opening and closing permissions with a complicated expression.

People are ultimately different.

"There aren't many people like me who adhere to principles and are kind," Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

It's so much better to earn your own living than to think about harming others for personal gain.

"Consider this compensation for disturbing my peaceful life," Chen Mu said helplessly as he opened the mustard seed talisman.

He wasn't really interested in this kind of windfall.

"Ugh……"

"Wow... this wooden cabinet is made of nice material!"

He happily opened all the drawers and checked them one by one.

What first caught his attention were the various jade slips and scrolls.

"The Five Yin Black Fiend Net, a decent secret technique." Chen Mu flipped through the supplementary book of secret techniques.

The net can be used to entangle and control, cut and attack, and also to defend against attacks.

It can attack, defend, and control; it is a rare and invaluable secret technique.

"What a pity..." Chen Mu shook his head and put the book aside.

He has seven or eight similar supplementary manuals on jade cultivation techniques.

He currently spends most of his free time practicing spiritual magic and has no energy left to practice secret arts.

"The Three Elements Secret Seal? It might be somewhat useful if I hadn't mastered the Jade Seed."

Chen Mu continued flipping through the pages.

"The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star River Spiritual Light Technique?!"

"Ouch!"

"They're fucking rich!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth in frustration as he held the jade tablet.

This is the most expensive spiritual secret technique in the Scripture Transmission Academy, costing a full five hundred white jade coins!

Turn the jade tablet over to examine the front.

The star-like silver threads that represented the true meaning of the secret technique have lost their luster. Only the brief description and precautions engraved on the back remain, showing just how valuable this thing was before.

"It would have been so much better if you had bought it a few days later!"

"Five hundred..."

Despite the enormous expense, Chen Mu still managed to find 237 white jade coins in the wooden cabinet.

"Wealth can move people's hearts." Chen Mu suddenly realized.

No wonder Zhang Tu'an was so busy recruiting people into the Purple Bamboo Society.

"Could it be that they're making money by selling fake medicine to members?" Chen Mu thought of the excuse Zhang Tu'an used when promoting the Tranquilizing Pill.

There's also that recipe that seems to have originated from Shang Huan.

Chen Mu couldn't help but look at the lower three drawers, which were filled with neatly stacked white porcelain bottles.

After casually opening a bottle and taking a sniff, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh, "Even if it's mixed with half the real stuff, it would be fine."

"A bottle contains thirty-five pills, but only five of them are genuine calming pills!"

"Compared to this, Shang Huan, that fat guy who's always thinking about forgery and adulteration, actually has some moral bottom line?!"

"Ah……"
