My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 226 Hidden Qi Powder

At dawn, a ray of light crossed the mountain ridge and shone on the low hillside.

Chen Mu got up, washed up, and made breakfast.

After eating ten kebab wraps, drinking two cups of secret-recipe herbal tea, and munching on a crisp melon horn, I slowly walked down the mountain.

In the yellow rice fields, the miasma, resembling cotton, slowly dissipates as the sunlight appears.

Chen Mu strolled through the yellow rice field, accompanied by five ghosts.

Every now and then, a clump of well water or bone meal would appear out of nowhere.

The weeds that had just sprouted a tender shoot on the ground would immediately disappear abruptly if Chen Mu saw them.

Walking back and forth along the narrow field a few times, the ten acres of yellow sprout rice fields were all processed.

Afterwards, they rented ten acres of land on the other side of the hill and did the same thing again.

It took no more than half an hour to get back to the courtyard in Aishan. Another fifteen minutes were spent tidying up the night-blooming jasmine on the west side of the courtyard.

The day's work is basically done.

Then Chen Mu comfortably lay back in the rocking chair, humming a little tune as he sipped his tea: "So comfortable..."

……

On the smooth top surface of the west stone wall, an iron lotus seed stood motionless, like a prisoner tightly bound, waiting to be shot.

The next moment, a flash of black and red light appeared. The iron lotus seed vanished with a bang, leaving only a few tiny fragments, still hot from the heat, shimmering with a faint red light.

To its right, there is another row of identical iron lotus seeds awaiting execution.

Chen Mu held a teacup in his left hand, a black and red bullet the size of a soybean appeared in his right palm, and he smiled like a perverted executioner.

biu!

Then the iron lotus seed turned into iron powder and disappeared.

After a long while, Chen Mu finally stopped, still feeling unsatisfied.

I glanced at the gray wall out of habit and noticed the column indicating lost experience progress. Only then did I realize that the Sand-Spraying Technique had long been practiced to its limit.

"Innuendo is like a troll; it hits a whole bunch of people at once."

"Shooting games are definitely more fun with those sand-filled bullets that look like little pistols," Chen Mu chuckled to himself.

"Hmm... the description of the small pistol is not quite accurate."

"After all, the extreme version of the sand-filled bullet can occasionally be used as a sniper rifle."

In the palm of his right hand, a thumb-sized, spindle-shaped bullet appeared. Its black surface was covered with magma-red depressions.

Woo!
The last iron lotus seed on the wall suddenly disappeared.

A handful of scarlet iron filings flashed in mid-air, then turned into fine powder and fell slowly. A metallic smell lingered in the air.

Chen Mu put down his teacup, and in a flash, jumped into the well.

Following the opening carved into the well wall, they darted into the underground chamber to begin another day of training.
……

Evening, in the courtyard of Aishan.

The four-sided table is filled with meat and vegetable dishes.

"This is yours." Shang Huan handed a cloth bag to Chen Mu.

"Ten white jade coins in half a month, can you earn that much by farming?" Shang Huan asked with a smug look on his face.

"No." Chen Mu took the cloth bag and shook his head honestly.

"That's right." Shang Huan coaxed, "If you make me more barbecue seasoning, you can earn even more than this!"

Chen Mu smiled.

"No."

Shang Huan glared at Chen Mu, exasperated: "You didn't cherish this golden opportunity. If you keep wasting time like this, when will you ever master the Spiritual Light!"

Chen Mu glanced at the gray wall with a smile.

Hmm... probably around September this year.

……

"It's not that Brother Chen is being cautious; this business is indeed risky," said Old Hao, holding a piece of cured meat and looking at Shang Huan.

"You've already made a lot of money, there's no need to be so eager for quick success."

Shang Huan grinned: "I'm just feeling anxious because I don't have any money, so I want to earn more."

"You have so much money?" Old Hao looked at Shang Huan in surprise.

He had seen this fat man show off his skills many times and earn a lot of white jade, so how could he be broke?

"I couldn't resist, I spent it..." Shang Huan looked dejected.

"You bought a secret technique?" Old Hao asked tentatively. "The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star River Spiritual Light Technique," Shang Huan said, both heartbroken and proud.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat. That was the most expensive secret technique at the Spirit Light stage, costing five hundred white jade coins!
"Anyway, there are always strange beasts causing trouble over the herb field."

"The destruction of medicinal herbs and the loss of lives have been ongoing."

"Your barbecue seasoning business can still be running for a while."

"It's safer to go slower. We don't want to waste money on a secret technique only to die before we can practice it," Old Hao advised.

"That's all we can do," Shang Huan nodded helplessly.

"Are powerful beasts still causing trouble in the medicinal field?" Chen Mu couldn't help but ask, a thought stirring in his mind.

"It's not just the medicinal herb fields. Strange beasts often appear in the planting areas near the edge of the mountains."

Shang Huan, with his right foot on the long bench and his knee supporting his right elbow, leisurely ate his food while mysteriously saying, "It's said that quite a few people were killed or injured."

Old Hao and Chen Mu exchanged a glance, simultaneously recalling the strange snake from last time.

Compared to Old Hao, Chen Mu, who knew the details, thought more deeply.

That monstrous snake had thick, rough skin and flesh, comparable to a spiritual sensory aura. Any ordinary lower-level disciple who encountered it would be certain death!

Is everyone in a state of panic?

What an opportunity!
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Shang Huan with a smile, "I prepared a kind of medicinal powder a few days ago, you should like it."

Shang Huan looked at Chen Mu, confused: "What does it taste like? If it's not good, I don't want it."

Chen Mu chuckled. "What flavor? It's not like it's barbecue seasoning."

He didn't explain, but instead chuckled and chimed in, "It can isolate the earth's spiritual energy and prevent it from being found by strange beasts. Don't you think it tastes good?"

He has conducted detailed research on vines.

Using fifth-order pharmaceutical techniques, a powder was developed.

The mechanism of action is unknown, but experiments using a white jade plate and sensing with the Spirit Armor Technique confirmed that the powder can block the earth's spiritual energy to a certain extent.

Shang Huan slammed his chopsticks on the table: "Great! This tastes absolutely amazing!"

Business opportunity!

Huge business opportunity!
"This is no joke. If it doesn't work, they'll definitely come to return it," Old Hao advised, his brows furrowed.

"I don't think they'll accept the return." Chen Mu chuckled, quite proud of his pharmaceutical skills.

"Of course I won't return it!" Shang Huan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Old Hao was completely baffled: "What do you mean?"

"The buyer won't return the item unless they encounter a powerful monster."

"If I encounter a powerful beast and lose my life, who will ask me for a refund? Haha..."

"Brother Chen is brilliant!"

Old Hao looked at Chen Mu in disbelief.

Is this still the same honest and kind-hearted Brother Chen?
Chen Mu's lips twitched, and he quickly explained, "This is my family's ancestral recipe, it's not a fake!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's a family recipe! It's a family recipe that everyone who asks says!"

Shang Huan gave a thumbs-up, looking excited.

Chen Mu's face twitched involuntarily.

How can this not be explained clearly!
That fatso ruined my life!

……

In the deep mountains of the northwest of Jilongshan Xiayuan, on a clearing created by human logging, more than a dozen gray tents stand.

Wu Lie strode into the main tent in the middle: "Steward, news has come from the lower courtyard that someone has died again."

"Several parts of the herb garden were also destroyed, resulting in significant losses."

Lin Su nodded calmly: "No movement from the Upper House?"

"It wasn't mentioned in the message," Wu Lie said hesitantly. "I think it should be soon."

Lin Su calmly waved for Wu Lie to leave.

"Looks like I'll have to put some more exotic beasts in," Lin Su thought to himself.

"Only when enough medicinal fields have been destroyed will the Upper Court send people to repair them."

"Mo Wuzhou, you'd better hurry up and come." A glint of light flashed in Lin Su's eyes.

A genius who breaks through in the dojo?
Ah……

A lower-ranking farmer, and you call him a genius?

It must be because of the exquisite jade plate!
