My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 305 Conspiracy

Chapter 305 Conspiracy
Chen Mu's room is on the 63rd floor of Building 9, Gengzi District.

The white walls radiated a warm luster, clearly not jade, but some kind of bone or keratin.

The corners are rounded, and instead of being pieced together, they appear as a single, unified whole.

Chen Mu took out a futon from the Five Ghosts Bag and placed it in front of the huge French window. He sat down cross-legged and looked down at the entire Water Mansion.

A shimmering, luminous ceiling, a towering, yellowish-white building, wide, crisscrossing streets, bustling crowds, and streaks of light and all sorts of kites flying across the sky.

"What a wonderful world."

Watching a streak of emerald light fly overhead, it whooshed straight into the distant Golden Pearl Dojo.

Chen Mu looked on with envy: "Although the Flying Kite can fly, it is still a bit lacking compared to this flying escape technique."

"One day, I will be able to fly on my own!"

Chen Mu, full of anticipation, drew up the gray wall.

"The Three Yin Demon-Slaying Technique is too tumultuous and cannot be practiced."

"To master it, you need to go out and fly, and there's no way to practice."

"If the Fire Cloud Spell were to control the temperature a little, it might still be effective."

"I wonder if there's any equipment in the Tower of Babel to deal with fire." Chen Mu looked around the room.

In my previous life, hotel apartments all had fire alarm systems: "It's better to ask about it later."

Chen Mu stared at the gray wall, pondering.

"First, max out the second level of the Five Elements Qi Shooting Technique."

"Then I learned the Five Elements Mixed Origin Method and practiced the Listening Technique at the same time."

"Once I reach the fourth stage of the Listening Technique and reach its limit, I will practice the Fire Cloud Mantra."

With a plan in place, Chen Mu completely secluded himself at home.

Close your eyes and begin practicing the Five Elements Breathing Method.

……

Four days later.

Chen Mu opened his eyes, staring blankly out the French windows. He unconsciously followed the kites flying in the sky for a while before snapping back to reality.

"Getting too absorbed in it isn't good either," Chen Mu said, pursing his lips.

It's very satisfying to see my experience gradually improve.

But over time, it can easily create a sense of disorientation, as if one is losing control of time.

Chen Mu glanced at the gray wall.

Five Elements Qi Absorption Method: 93/10000/Third Stage;

Immediately, black smoke billowed out, and a gray cloth bag containing about 100 kilograms of yellow sprout rice appeared in front of him.

Five Elements Qi Absorption!

hum!
With a vibration, the white powder quickly gathered into a ball in the palm of the hand.

"This weight is right." Chen Mu weighed the approximately ten pounds of the essence of grains and nodded in satisfaction.

One hundred catties of yellow sprout rice yields ten catties of the essence of grains; this is the normal level in the industry.

"The Five Elements Qi Absorption Method is sufficient; let's put it aside for now."

"The Five Elements Primordial Chaos Method and the Golden Pearl Talisman can be put on the agenda."

"The price of the essence of the five grains is ultimately not as high as that of the fasting elixir."

Just as he was arranging his future training plans, there was a knock at the door.

Chen Mu got up and opened the door.

A young man in his twenties with an oval face, dressed in a gray shirt and shorts, was standing at the door carrying two brown three-tiered food boxes.

"Guest, your dinner." The young man with the oval face smiled and handed a food box to Chen Mu.

"Thank you!" Chen Mu said with a smile.

After carefully observing the expression on the oval face and confirming that his expression and eyes were no different from usual, he then dismissed the veiled threat in his right hand behind his back and reached out to take the food box.

No wonder he was cautious.

Chong Shan Road is reportedly planning to cause trouble for Keelung Road, so it's never too much to be careful.

We were just about to close up shop for dinner.

The door across the room suddenly opened.

A two-meter-tall man with dark skin and a full beard walked out of the room.

"It's finally here! I'm starving!" he said, reaching out to take another food box from the oval-faced young man.

Seemingly noticing Chen Mu's gaze, the man looked up and met Chen Mu's eyes, then gave him a friendly smile and nodded slightly. This man was rugged-looking and somewhat fierce, but surprisingly, he was quite polite.

There are some people in the world who may look fierce, but are actually very kind at heart.

Thinking this, Chen Mu smiled and nodded in return.

Then they took the food box back to their room to eat.

……

The burly, dark-faced man with a fierce appearance but kind heart smiled as he saw off the young man with the oval face, then turned and went back to his room.

"Hey, what's the quality of that guy?" asked a burly man who was also over two meters tall and whose arms reached past his knees.

"Being willing to live in the Tower of Heaven is probably a sign of having broken through the illusions of cultivation."

"Slim build, delicate demeanor, and a pretty face—he looks like a weakling." Manager Zhang curled his lip, his face full of disdain.

He casually opened the food box, took out a roasted chicken, and without even disassembling it, bit off half of it in one bite, meat and bone together.

"We must not be careless in managing this."

"Such a person is most likely following the path of a Xuanmen Qi cultivator and must possess some strange secret techniques."

"He needs to chant incantations to activate a secret technique. How can he be as fast as us?" Zhang, the black-faced, bearded steward, didn't take it seriously.

Seeing that the long-armed, burly man was still trying to persuade him, Zhang, the dark-faced official, waved his hand to stop him.

"Not in a hurry."

"I will definitely do more research before taking any action."

Even a weakling, if it can't snap its neck in one go, will still inevitably squeak a couple of times.

"This is ultimately the territory of the Heavenly River Water Mansion; we cannot allow him to make a sound."

The long-armed man sighed, "This guy is such a nuisance. How did he happen to live right on top of Mo Wuzhou?"

"That's perfect." Steward Zhang chuckled. "We need to sabotage the building to capture Mo Wuzhou by surprise."

“The Water Mansion Warrior and Song Wuji will definitely come to investigate, and this person is perfect for us to take the blame.”

The long-armed, burly man shook his head: "If the Heavenly River Water Mansion intervenes in the investigation, they will definitely be able to see through it."

Supervisor Zhang smiled with narrowed eyes: "Of course he'll see through it. But all we need is for him to buy us a little time."

"A little time for me to leave the Water Palace and Dragon Gate at my leisure."

"Everyone has considered everything thoroughly." The long-armed man suddenly realized.

……

After eating and drinking his fill in his room, Chen Mu didn't rush to practice.

Instead, he took out the Heartless Bell, which he hadn't used in a long time.

A wisp of magical power appeared in his palm along the talisman, and then entered the Heartless Bell.

clang!
A sound like the ringing of a bronze bell rang out.

The blood and energy in the whole body suddenly began to throb gently.

Walking briskly for three kilometers, the comfortable feeling of slightly sweating quickly spreads throughout the body.

Looking out at the distant scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows is truly refreshing.

"A good thing." Chen Mu played with it with it, unable to put it down.

Even with the intervention of magic, the Soul-Stealing Bell's ability to captivate and bewitch him remained ineffective.

However, its ability to stimulate blood circulation and relieve fatigue from prolonged sitting begins to take effect.

"This is much more reliable than any massage chair."

Chen Mu chuckled and put it away.

……

In the following days, Chen Mu began to try to comprehend the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Method.

Similar to the breath-absorbing technique, this is also a basic talisman.

Different elixirs require different methods of aggregation, which in turn lead to different aggregation methods, such as the golden bead talisman required for the Bigu elixir.

"No wonder alchemy is so profitable, the barrier to entry is really high!"

To absorb the ingredients of the elixir, one needs an ingredient talisman.

To combine raw materials into pills, a combining talisman is needed.

Controlling the alchemy furnace also requires corresponding talismans for different states.

Even the simplest fasting pill involves five types; what about other more complex pills?

Moreover, even if one mastered all of them, the success rate of alchemy would still be a problem.

"To master multiple spells, one must have exceptional talent."

"To improve the success rate of alchemy, you need a lot of financial resources to practice."

"I have neither talent nor resources."

"Can an ordinary person like me really refine pills?"

Thinking of this bleak future, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel sad.

"After three months of arduous practice, I only mastered two types of magic talismans."
