My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 246 Control
A month later, in the small valley.

The setting sun painted the ground a golden hue.

A dark shadow suddenly swept across the golden ground.

In the sky, Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the flying kite, his hands gripping the connecting rods that link the wings to his body.

With a slight turn of its body to the right, the kite drew a graceful arc, just like a real eagle, naturally changing direction.

After circling above the small hill for more than ten minutes, until he felt a sense of emptiness between his brows, Chen Mu adjusted the angle of the kite, causing it to slowly descend until it hovered steadily one meter off the ground.

"It's done." Chen Mu chuckled as he looked at the many new entries on the gray wall.

Mastery: 1236/10000/Tier 1;
He has been practicing flying every afternoon for the past few days.

He had temporarily put aside the virtual fabrication technique that he was supposed to practice during this time.

After all, this is real flight.

"If only I had more magic power," Chen Mu lamented.

After mastering the Cloud Mirage Armor Technique, a core appeared between his eyebrows, capable of storing magical power.

But it is ultimately limited. After flying continuously for half an hour, this magical power will be exhausted.

"Once I master the Illusion-Breaking Technique, the time should be able to be increased a bit more." Chen Mu was quite expectant.

……

A few rays of sunlight pierced through the bottomless Tongtian River.

The sunlight shone on the pale, menacing hull of the ship, leaving mottled spots of light.

Whirlpools appeared and disappeared around the gullboat, smoothing out the undercurrents and propelling the boat forward steadily.

Cabin number 7 (Bingchen) on the right.

Lin Su sat cross-legged on the left side of the soft couch, with a bright yellow silk scroll on a low table in front of him.

The scroll is a map of the Lower House of Keelung Road. In addition to the names of the Lower House districts marked in black font, there are dozens of names distributed around the map, and they are specially marked in vermilion ink.

"I was here when the Dao Seal disappeared that day." Lin Su pointed a red dot on the map.

"The Dao Seal has disappeared, and the Round Mirror can no longer indicate the specific location, but it can still point out the direction."

He thought carefully and drew an arrow pointing in the direction the Dao Seal had indicated before it disappeared.

"Mo Wuzhou isn't actually on this straight line; his location is actually a bit further south." Lin Su stared at Mo Wuzhou's name, which was circled in red.

His last encounter confirmed to him that Mo Wuzhou truly did not know about the Exquisite Jade Plate.

“Since it’s not the other party, then…” Lin Su looked at the very end of the straight line.

"Chen Mu?"

"A newly recruited disciple? Someone from the borderlands?"

"Heh..." Lin Su chuckled coldly.

"To kill and rob so brazenly in the lower house is truly in line with the style of people from remote islands," Lin Su thought bitterly.

"The ability to eliminate Dao seals does not necessarily mean that one has sensed spiritual light."

"It could also be the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique," Lin Su realized.

"Most of those who can come out of the remote islands have some inferior bloodline."

“Practicing spirit armor techniques is not uncommon.”

Chen Mu was excluded at the time because he had acquired the Spirit Light Technique in such a short time. It was impossible for him to have completed the training in just a few months.

But if one cultivates a spirit armor, then it makes sense.

It's also my fault for being too impatient. I only roughly defined the direction, and after learning that Mo Wuzhou had mastered the Sensing Aura, I identified him as the right person.

“This time…” Lin Su stared coldly at Chen Mu’s name.

……

At night, Chen Mu emerged from the underground chamber.

He took out a bamboo tube about the height of his forearm from the wooden thermos on the stove; inside was a milk-based drink he had specially prepared.

Use a rice straw as a straw.

Chen Mu lay back in the rocking chair, sucking on his breath while looking up at the sky.

"I wonder what the venue is like. Can it compare to my White Jade Plate?" Chen Mu couldn't help but think of Old Master Hao Shanghuan.

The two saved enough money this year and went to the Taoist temple in Jilong to practice their skills.

"I'd like to go take a look too." Chen Mu glanced at the white jade coins, which totaled just over a hundred yuan: "What a pity..."

"Shang Huan is unlikely, but Old Hao has a good chance of completing the cultivation of sensing spiritual light," Chen Mu silently estimated.

After all, this old man has been practicing for many years.

“Aptitude…” Chen Mu sighed.

People with poor natural talent are less efficient and slower at drawing in and refining the earth's spiritual energy.

For a jade seed to complete its transformation, it needs more time.

That's how Mr. Hao got stuck at this hurdle.

With a thought, Chen Mu adjusted his proficiency level. Writing: 7311/10000/Second Tier;

Drawing: 5967/10000/Second order;

Cooking skill: 1545/10000/Tier 5;

Pharmaceutical Skill: 6367/10000/Tier 5;

Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell: 1986/10000/Eighth Rank;

Transformation Technique: 7297/10000/Tier 4;

Planting: 5733/10000/Tier 3;

Emptiness Technique: 1305/10000/Tier 3;

Heart-to-Heart Mantra: 9997/10000/Seventh Rank;

Fire Cloud Spell: 5630/10000/Tier 1;
Baiyi Destroy Illusion: 3903/10000;

Mastery: 1236/10000/Tier 1;
Chen Mu browsed through them one by one.

"The Heart-to-Heart Mantra is about to advance? Not bad."

"Reciting it a few times before bed every day is quite effective." Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction: "I'll fill it up in a bit."

"Unsurprisingly, I need to continue practicing the 'Discerning Truth Technique'." Chen Mu shrugged.

So what if his cultivation speed is slow? The Hundred Intent Spiritual Light Technique is also slow, but he still managed to reach its peak.

"My piloting skills are on the list, and I have enough to fly kites, so I can put them aside for a while." Chen Mu thought to himself, "I need to put the Illusion Technique back on the agenda."

He practiced flying kites before, which was to compress the time spent cultivating the Illusion Technique.

"The other upgrades are still a long way off, let's keep practicing." Chen Mu leisurely closed the gray wall.

Chen Mu removed the straw, drank the warm milk tea in one gulp, and got up to wash up.

Before going to sleep, Chen Mu recited the Heart-to-Heart Mantra.

After a few repetitions, a unique feeling welled up in my heart.

Their understanding of the Heart-Connecting Rope became clearer. They even vaguely sensed the location of the Seven Sons Heart-Connecting Gu.

"It seems there are some new features."

"Forget it, it's best to avoid any contact with those six siblings."

"It's good enough that it can be used to tie up hair, what more could you ask for?"

"sleep!"

……

Xinyou District, Lu Ku Residence.

Lu Ku, who was flipping through the account books, suddenly shuddered. His bones trembled, and a loud groan suddenly came from within him.

"Finally, they've arrived." Lu Ku felt a sense of relief; now he could finally give up completely.

Then Lu Ku continued calculating the accounts, no longer thinking about it.

Nearly half a year has passed, and he's come to understand. That Gongsun Sheng truly doesn't like them.

"That's fine too. It's more comfortable not having to interact with either side," Lu Ku thought calmly.

……

half a month later.

Chen Mu carefully removed the seedlings of *Eclipta prostrata* from the wooden culture trough.

After a long while, Chen Mu sat back in his rocking chair, looking contentedly at the neatly planted night-blooming jasmine under the west wall.

"About ninety trees will survive." Chen Mu smiled broadly. "Even with the increased number of Tranquilizing Pills, it will be enough to sustain us for half a year."

Thinking this, Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at the white jade plate in the Five Ghosts Bag.

Three days ago, Chen Mu discovered that the white jade plate was being consumed every day, quietly turning into three white jade coins.

"I should have thought of that sooner," Chen Mu sighed.

The purpose of sensing and dispelling illusions is to cultivate magical power.

It's only natural that the consumption of earth's spiritual energy increases.

"One hundred and eight bottles of calming pills, after deducting costs, can earn about ninety-one white jade coins. That's exactly what we spend," Chen Mu calculated silently.

"Shang Huan sells it for fifty, the rest will be given to Yu Pin Xuan Le Yang An."

Two years later, Chen Mu confirmed that both channels were basically safe.

"If it weren't for the Qi restriction that extends for hundreds of miles, this job would be really difficult!" Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise after a quick calculation.

More than a hundred bottles, that's more than four thousand calming pills. If you mix all the raw materials together, you'll need a whole vat.

They also have to be pressed into balls one by one, a repetitive, tedious, and time-consuming process.

"I should pay attention to alchemy when I have time."

"High-tech jobs are more profitable."
