My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 319 Control
"Do you want to..." Bai Xiuwen narrowed his eyes and asked in a deliberately cold tone.

Qi Hui frowned and pondered for a moment before shaking his head: "Let's wait and see if he will continue to accept the Bigu Pill mission."

He takes 8,000 fasting pills a month, of which he refines more than 5,000 himself and buys about 3,000 more.

This quantity is consistent with his alchemy skills and will not arouse suspicion from the other courtyard that he has fraudulently obtained Daoist merits.

“But if that person continues…” Bai Xiuwen probed secretly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui's face immediately turned ashen.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Qi Hui's eyes were sharp as knives.

"I will definitely go to the Pavilion Master and give him a good stern dressing down!"

More than 400 meters away, beside a cliff, shrouded in the five ghosts and invisible, Chen Mu sat cross-legged on a flying kite: "..."

Snitching?

Hey!
What ruthless methods!

Haha ...

Bai Xiuwen was also caught off guard.

"It's...it's just tattling?"

Without resorting to some underhanded tactics?

"What else do you want?" Qi Hui looked at Bai Xiuwen with a puzzled expression, then sneered with disdain: "Those peasants from the lower courtyard are just so eager for quick success and instant benefits."

"Does the people in the villa not know that they're buying pills in exchange for cultivation techniques? It's just an open secret."

"But if we treat everyone like fools and act recklessly... Hmph!"

"As long as I report him, the Pavilion Master will definitely give him a good beating!" Qi Hui said smugly.

Chen Mu, standing in the distance, looked on with a sigh.

Well, how should I put this Senior Brother Qi?

He's definitely not stupid, but it seems like...

Hmm, like a well-behaved child who had just graduated from school in a past life.

This surprised and amazed Chen Mu, who was used to the harsh realities of the world.

Good guy...

If everyone were this innocent, how wonderful that would be!

……

I've been secretly watching this Senior Brother Qi for several days.

It's confirmed that this person really didn't have any malicious intent.

He also instructed Bai Xiuwen to closely monitor the other party's movements.

Chen Mu was relieved.

Fortunately, he left himself some leeway when he accepted the mission. If he had accepted all 20,000 Bigu Pills at once, it would have enraged Senior Brother Qi.

He must have already complained to them!

Tsk tsk...that was close!
……

On the mountainside of Yuquan Mountain, in a dense, lush forest.

Listen carefully!

An invisible ripple spread rapidly outwards from Chen Mu as the center.

After confirming that there was no one within a fifteen-mile radius, Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

This was the location he had searched for several days while piloting his flying kite.

This place isn't exactly secluded; standing atop the tree, you can see the General Affairs Office on the mountainside above and Yuquanfang at the foot of the mountain below.

However, because it is not close to either of them, the patrol agency rarely comes here to patrol and investigate.

"The patrolmen won't be disturbed, so they can cultivate in peace."

"It's not too remote, and it's safe."

I've recently heard that many unorthodox and evil sects have infiltrated Yuquan Mountain to cause trouble.

In remote places, there might be dangerous people hiding, and he didn't want to run into them.

Chen Mu rubbed his hands together: "Hehe, now I can fly properly!"

A wisp of magical power merged into the Five Ghosts Bag.

Five Ghostly Flames Escape Technique!

Suddenly, billowing black smoke appeared around Chen Mu.

At the same time, wisps of thick flames, resembling magma, were embedded in the black smoke, appearing and disappearing as the black clouds churned.

A howling, ghostly roar also spread outward from within the dark clouds.

Chen Mu stared intently at the dark clouds, observing them closely.

An unpleasant memory surfaced in my mind.

Surge, rise and fall, black and red intermingled...

“Cui Cui…”

He had seen the true form of the ghostly spirit Cui Cui back in Qingshan County. It seemed to have this appearance, with streaks of magma mixed in with the black clouds. "The Five Paper Ghosts, are they all ghostly monsters of Cui Cui's level?!"

This Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell feels like it's breaking a seal, gradually releasing the power of the five ghosts.

Will I be possessed?!
Chen Mu couldn't help but stare at the dark clouds and examine them closely.

Suddenly, I realized that although the five ghosts were agile, they did not have the intelligence comparable to that of a human like Cui Cui.

“The creator of the Five Ghosts Bag couldn’t possibly have overlooked this.” Chen Mu felt slightly relieved.

"And there's also a patch-like Soul-Locking Curse to strengthen the control." Chen Mu felt relieved.

……

A thought came to my mind.

The dark cloud rushed towards Chen Mu with a roar, quickly enveloping his entire body, and a force of lift suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Chen Mu felt as if he had merged with the five ghosts, light as a feather, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

The five ghosts possessing him means that five ghosts have entered his body.

However, the escape technique seemed to be reversed, with Chen Mu merging into the five ghostly spirits.

"First, lift it one meter off the ground."

But the ghosts that used to be at his beck and call suddenly became heavy.

Just like water in a glass suddenly turning into iron filings, the feel of holding it is immediately different.

"We need to put in more effort."

Thinking this, Chen Mu tentatively exerted a little force, and sure enough, he slowly flew up.

But after it had only taken off half a meter, the feeling of heaviness suddenly lessened.

Like iron filings in a glass of water, suddenly turning into air!

Caught off guard, Chen Mu shot into the sky like a rocket.

In his panic, he rushed down and pressed down hard.

Then he slammed into the ground with a thud.

Chen Mu jumped out of the pit and shook his head to shake off the dirt.

"Pah...it's quite difficult."

He then happily continued his experiment.

……

For several days afterward.

He spends his days at home practicing the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Technique in his cave.

At night, he would go to a secluded, dense forest and tirelessly practice the Five Ghosts Nether Flame Escape Technique.

Even though they always fall and get covered in dirt, they still enjoy it immensely.

"The five ghosts will become heavy before taking off, but once they pass a certain point, as if they have broken free from their restraints, they will become light again."

"However, if you perform operations such as changing direction, accelerating or decelerating, this transition from heavy to light will be repeated again."

"To fly freely, you have to master this change in weight," Chen Mu thought to himself.

He looked at the experience on the gray wall.

To his surprise, after a few days of practice, not only did his proficiency in the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell increase, but his experience in mastering the skill also skyrocketed.

Mastery: 7986/10000/Tier 1;
"Now I have a goal," Chen Mu thought with a chuckle.

Let's get to Tier 2 first!
……

Nine days later, at night.

At the entrance of Chen Mu Cave.

A cloud of dark red smoke descended from the sky.

When it was still two meters from the ground, it suddenly slowed down and landed lightly, like a feather.

Amidst the swirling smoke and clouds, Chen Mu, standing three meters tall with bulging muscles and indigo skin, appeared and disappeared.

The next moment, it was as if there was an invisible black hole in the center of the dark cloud, which rapidly drew the swirling clouds and smoke towards the center, and soon they all disappeared.

Chen Mu's body also shrank rapidly, returning to its normal size.

"The Five Ghosts Possession Technique and the Escape Technique can be used simultaneously."

"It's just that my mana is being used up too quickly."

He was trying to integrate the Five Ghosts Netherflame Escape Technique into his own power system.

"It's faster than a flying kite, but it consumes more mana. It's suitable for short sprints and is good for quickly escaping."

"Its own ghostly howls seem to have a deterrent effect, and when combined with its rapid flight speed, it can also be used for rapid attacks."

Chen Mu looked at the experience records on the gray wall.

Mastery: 236/10000/Tier 2;

With his second-level mastery, he could easily control the five ghosts and fly away freely.

"If the mastery level continues to improve, the Escape Technique will definitely become even more mysterious and swift."

"Another daily task." Chen Mu shrugged.
