Chapter 227 Qi Restriction for Hundreds of Miles
After seeing off Shang Huan and Old Hao, who were both beaming with joy.

Chen Mu sat in the rocking chair and moved the low table in front of him.

With a clatter, a pile of white jade coins appeared, and he examined them one by one.

"Four hundred and sixty-six." Chen Mu was overjoyed.

Without realizing it, I've already accumulated so many white jade coins.

"It's a pity it's still a little short." After thinking about the price of the Scripture Transmission Academy, Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head: "The cheapest Hundred Intent Breaking Illusion Technique costs six hundred white jade coins."

Shang Huan's purchase of the Spirit Light Technique served as a reminder to Chen Mu.

He should be able to master the spiritual light this year and start making plans for future cultivation.

"I still have three mustard seed talismans, which can be sold for more than a hundred white jade coins," Chen Mu thought to himself.

"Let Shang Huan sell some more Hidden Qi Powder, that should be enough."

He had no intention of learning from Shang Huan; he insisted on choosing to cultivate top-tier secret techniques.

Instead, they favor the cheapest Hundred Intentions Breaking Illusion Technique.

This secret method has very low requirements for aptitude and is of a neutral and peaceful nature, but the cultivation speed is too slow, requiring diligent practice day and night.

"Able to create this secret technique."

"This Mr. Baiyi is probably like me, an ordinary person with average talent but a hardworking and diligent one."

I glanced at the proficiency progress on the gray wall.

Chen Mu couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Should I learn a new secret technique?"

After all, you can't keep grinding through the same experience every day; it's good to change things up from time to time.

……

Two days later, under the wooden shed in the courtyard of Aishan.

Chen Mu held the two supplementary manuals of secret techniques, feeling conflicted.

A time-manipulation technique that can refine one's willpower into easily controllable threads.

It can be used for defense, for attack, and as an invisible hand to assist in many things.

With just a little thought, many applicable scenarios came to mind.

The other is the Art of Emptiness, a secret technique that allows people to walk off the ground and move at extremely high speeds.

After much deliberation, Chen Mu finally chose to use the illusion technique. Running fast was the best way to save his life.

"Let's practice the Qi-Pulling Technique next." Chen Mu reluctantly put away the Qi-Pulling Technique.

Turn the pages of the Book of Illusions.

First, there is a long, meaningless text, within which lies a secret incantation.

The following is a brief introduction to the abilities of the Illusion Technique. It is said that after mastering the Illusion Technique, a portion of one's spiritual power will undergo a qualitative change at the soles of the feet, generating a powerful repulsive force that greatly increases movement speed.

After flipping through it briefly, Chen Mu began reciting the seemingly gibberish scriptures.

Before long, a realization came to mind.

The chaotic text gradually merged into a long incantation.

New entries appeared on the gray wall.

Emptiness Technique: 3/10000/Tier 1;
"It's done."

……

Located on the edge of the Xin Chou District, in the lower courtyard of Keelung Road, next to a field of yellow rice.

puff!
Blood splattered.

A fist pierced through a person's chest.

The man's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to scream, but a bloody hand had already gripped his neck.

Click!

"Xu Rao, this guy is probably broke too." The owner of the bloodstained hand was a burly man dressed in an apricot-yellow outfit.

The other person was at least 1.9 meters tall, with long, slender arms. When they hung at their sides, they almost touched their knees.

"Couldn't we have targeted one of the older disciples?" the long-armed, burly man complained. "These new disciples who came last year are simply not worth exploiting."

"Ai Ji, if you keep babbling, I'll kill you." Xu Rao, dressed in black and only reaching the chest of the long-armed, muscular man, said indifferently.

Ai Ji curled his lip in disdain and stepped forward to rummage through the deceased's belongings.

Xu Rao also walked slowly around the room, looking for places where he might hide his money.

But after a short while, Ai Ji started babbling again.

"The eldest brother is too cautious. With our seven brothers from Wushan... no, now it's six brothers."

"With the strength of the six of us brothers, if we find a big, fat target and attack together, the gains will be many times greater than those of these new disciples!"

“These new disciples are indeed easy to deal with and cause no trouble.”

"But if the target is a big fat sheep, we can put in a little more effort to disguise ourselves without any trouble."

"Unlike now, we do a lot of work but get little reward."

"It may seem safe on the surface, but if a flaw is discovered even once, it could attract investigation."

"This isn't worth it..." Clang!
There was a crisp sound.

Ai Ji's right hand suddenly appeared in front of his throat.

He desperately blocked Xu Rao's hand, which was shaped like a knife.

"You really want to kill me!" Ai Ji said helplessly. "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. If you don't find it boring, then let's continue to cause trouble for the newcomers."

Whoosh!
Xu Rao's figure disappeared and he came to the corner of the wall, as if he had always been there.

With a soft thud, his right hand plunged into the wall, and he slowly pulled out a string of white jade coins.

"Hey! What a pleasant surprise!" Ai Ji immediately beamed with joy.

……

half a month later.

Under the wooden shed in the courtyard of the low hill, a long and difficult incantation came out of Chen Mu's mouth.

A black, powerful ripple appeared on the soles of his feet.

Chen Mu gently stepped on it and, sure enough, felt a rebounding force. He lifted his right leg and let it fall naturally without any effort.

Bang... bang bang... bang bang bang bang...

The ground beneath my feet seemed to have turned into a trampoline, and my right leg bounced up and down on its own.

Chen Mu immediately laughed.

"It's like having springs in your feet."

It's only at level one now, and the effect is at most like a pair of bouncy running shoes.

However, if one advances to the sensing stage, the repulsive force increases, and the effect is unimaginable.

They're having a blast.

Suddenly, he felt a jolt, and a large amount of icy air was abruptly drawn into the area on his back near his groin.

Then, together with the cool energy that was already freely circulating within the body, it quickly gathered at the center of the forehead.

Chen Mu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and his mind suddenly became clearer than usual.

"Cloud Mirage Armor Technique?"

He quickly moved the gray wall.

Writing: 6556/10000/Second order;

Drawing: 5967/10000/Second order;

Cooking skill: 8370/10000/Tier 4;

Pharmaceutical Skill: 4857/10000/Tier 5;

Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell: 9721/10000/Seventh Rank;

Transformation Technique: 5937/10000/Tier 4;

Cloud Mirage Armor Technique: Limit;

Planting: 1203/10000/Tier 3;

Hundred Intent Aura: 6598/10000;

Emptiness Technique: 1800/10000/Tier 1;
"The limit?!" Chen Mu could not hide his disappointment.

This skill is too easy to master. You can gain experience just by breathing. You don't need to do anything about it. Now, he has finally reached his limit.

"It seems he's also awakened a special ability." Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

He raised his hand towards the low table beside him.

Snapped!
The brown wooden teacup floated up out of thin air and suddenly flew into Chen Mu's hand.

"A qi barrier that can be maintained for a hundred miles?!"

isn't it...

As he listened to the name of the ability in his mind, Chen Mu's expression was complex and indescribable.

Cloud Mirage Armor Technique?
I think it's the Yin Soul Armor Technique!
The black, cloud-like creature—isn't that a ghost?

He wasn't particularly surprised by this truth.

"Bloodline Secret Technique..."

When Jie Jia discovered that Chen Mu was practicing the Spirit Armor Technique, he suspected that Chen Mu had a special bloodline.

It is conceivable that the Spirit Armor Technique must require bloodline to cultivate.

In retrospect, his ability to cultivate the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique is likely related to the fact that his predecessor was possessed by a vengeful spirit.

"It's good that I've reached the top." Chen Mu felt relieved.

I've been in Chicken Cage Road for quite some time now, and I've seen many strange beasts with thick skin, great strength, and immense power.

I've also seen emerald green beetles that can split constantly and quickly form swarms.

He even killed a monstrous snake called Dichi, which was comparable to the Sensing Stage.

But the Yin Ghost is not comparable to ordinary beasts; it is still too eerie.
