My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 326 An unexpected surprise
Inside the secret room, Chen Mu's mind raced.

As he activated the Listening Technique once more, he jumped up as if his pants were on fire and headed straight for the opening above the secret chamber.

Almost the instant the feedback from the Listening Technique arrived, Chen Mu was greatly shaken.

Just moments ago, the two experts at the Qi Condensation Realm were two or three hundred meters underground, but now the distance between them and him has suddenly shrunk by half!
So fast? !
As soon as he jumped out of the bamboo building, magical power surged within the jade seed.

The Five Ghosts Escape...

quack!
A flurry of light and shadow danced on the open space in front of the bamboo house.

A giant toad, as tall as a basketball hoop, appeared out of nowhere.

Chen Mu froze, and the wailing and howling that had just started beside him was immediately dispelled by him.

Then he raised his hand rustily and waved it from side to side like a puppet to greet people.

"Hello...hello."

This terrifying giant toad is actually quite polite!
……

Down underground, Xin Ya frowned as he looked at Wei Donglai.

"That was just now..."

"It must be Liu Ling setting up the protective barrier around the mountain." Wei Donglai's expression was grim.

"We need to speed things up."

"How about we go kill Liu Ling first?" Xin Ya smiled coldly.

Wei Donglai glanced at Xin Ya: "Can you guarantee that you won't alert Yuquan Mountain?"

"Fine then." Xin Ya shrugged helplessly.

Throw another handful of insects into the green flames.

The expressionless insect puppet suddenly trembled all over, its muscles bulged, and bluish-black lines crawled out on its exposed skin. Its aura became visibly violent.

They were all working like they were on steroids, digging tunnels at lightning speed, punching and kicking.

……

"It's you." Liang Yi recognized Chen Mu at a glance.

"I should have thought of that."

"There are only a handful of people in the entire Chicken Cage Sect who can master the Listening Technique to this extent."

"Young Master!" Chen Mu quickly and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

"Just call me Liang Yi. The Tongtianhe Lower Academy is gone, so where is the Junior Supervisor?" Liang Yi waved his hand dismissively.

"In my heart, the Juvenile Prisoner will always be the Juvenile Prisoner!" Chen Mu complimented earnestly.

Liang Yi looked at Chen Mu strangely.

You're really shameless.

He looked Chen Mu up and down, and frowned as he recalled the fleeting, sinister aura he had just witnessed.

Thick-skinned, using evil magic, he doesn't look like a decent person at all.

What are you doing in Misty Mountain?

"Let's refine pills," Chen Mu said honestly.

"You really know how to refine pills?" Liang Yi raised an eyebrow.

My master was right all along. How long has it been? He's already learned alchemy?!
Even Mo, who is hailed as a genius that only appears once in a century in the Lower House, is nothing special!

"It's all thanks to Supervisor Song and Junior Supervisor Song for their guidance and support," Chen Mu said sincerely, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Alright, alright, I didn't help you with anything." Liang Yi rolled his eyes.

He was about to leave when he stopped.

"You used the Listening Technique to explore the underground before, were you trying to find an underground river to continue digging the tunnel?"

Master had mentioned before that this person had dug an underground river to create a secret passage back in Pengyue Mountain, successfully escaping the control of the Snow Demon Qing Liu.

"Yes!" Chen Mu dared not hide it.

"You can find the underground river?" Liang Yi's heart stirred.

The Listening Technique is indeed adept at detection.

"Do you want me to help you?"

He was about to analyze the earth's veins, and with this person by his side, the speed would surely increase greatly.

"It is my honor to be able to provide assistance to the Juvenile Prison," Chen Mu said sincerely.

He immediately looked troubled: "But there is only one person in Misty Mountain who knows how to refine Bigu Pills."

"The warehouse is damaged, and the yellow rice may mold and rot at any time."

"If we cannot refine the pills as soon as possible, I'm afraid Elder Liu Ling..."

Liang Yi raised an eyebrow.

"There is also a Senior Brother Qi in the other courtyard who can refine Bigu pills."

"Why don't we transfer him to replace him?"

“In that case, I can be at your beck and call,” Chen Mu offered his opinion with great enthusiasm.

"Don't want to help?" Liang Yi looked at Chen Mu with amusement. You're right!

"This...this is unbelievable!" Chen Mu's face was full of aggrieved frustration at being wrongly accused.

"You suspect what I'm doing is confidential and you're afraid of being silenced?" Liang Yi chuckled.

Of course I'm afraid!
"Your Excellency, you've really misunderstood me!" Chen Mu said urgently.

"Fine, since it's Liu Ling's mission, you should just focus on refining pills," Liang Yi said calmly.

Anyway, Leng Yuechan is good at burrowing underground, so it's just a matter of making a few more trips.

Besides, this person possesses a set of mysterious and unorthodox techniques, and acts in strange ways, so I'm really not comfortable letting him participate too much in setting up the protective mountain barrier.

Haha, it's done!
"Young Master, you have a very deep misunderstanding of me!" Chen Mu shook his head and sighed with a wronged expression.

"Since you are so sincere, I will go to Uncle Liu to ask for the person in a little while, how about that?" Liang Yi said, feigning gratitude.

Chen Mu froze instantly.

That's way too much acting!
“Heh…” Liang Yi chuckled.

"Go ahead and refine your pills!" he said, as a flash of light and shadow appeared.

It vanished suddenly amidst the croaking farewell of the giant toad.

"Goodbye, Junior Abbot, and thank you for your hard work, Venerable Clam!"

"Once I finish my current tasks, I will definitely come to serve you!" Chen Mu clasped his hands together, bowed, and shouted loudly to the open space to bid farewell.

After a long while, only the rustling of leaves could be heard in the dense forest, and then Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, they're gone!

Everyone in Yanxia Mountain knows that Liu Ling is in charge, but they don't know that Liang Yi and Leng Yuechan, two great condensation apertures, are hidden underground.

This kind of thing is obviously very troublesome.

He had no intention of getting involved.

……

Five days later, at dusk, Chen Mu left the warehouse alchemy room and returned to the bamboo building.

"This time we've really dodged it." Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he met Liang Yi, he had been staying in the warehouse, engrossed in refining pills, for fear that Liang Yi would come back to find him again.

After cooking two beast bone soups in the Hunyuan Furnace and eating and drinking his fill, Chen Mu carried the rocking chair to the corridor by the door and lay down to look at the stars.

The bamboo house he chose was in a secluded location, but it was open on all sides, and the breeze blowing through the forest made it quite comfortable.

After a while, Chen Mu floated a fluorescent algae ball above his head and took out a bright yellow scroll.

Unrolling the scroll, which resembles brocade and leather, a row of ancient characters appears on the left: "Ge's Annotations on Herbs".

This was the only thing he brought back from Sun Wuhuan's small discussion meeting.

It's not that this thing is so great, it's just that it only requires a little bit of Taoist cultivation, so it's cheap.

As he continued to unroll the scroll, rows of dots and lines connected, revealing completely unfamiliar characters to Chen Mu.

"It really is a cipher record; who the hell can understand it!" Chen Mu shook his head and sighed.

"You get what you pay for!" At that moment, he wasn't too disappointed.

He probably lost all hope when he heard that the other party wanted him to be taken advantage of.

"There are some good things at the discussion group, but they're definitely not cheap."

"And that sales attitude... I always felt like I would definitely lose out if I actually bought it."

Chen Mu then thought of the group at the Daoist discussion meeting, who started by teaching him how to get rich and made a fortune, but inevitably ended up selling their products. He couldn't help but shudder.

"I'd better just save money and accumulate Taoist merit."

"That method of making Dao Gong and Bai Yu Qian double on their own is totally not my cup of tea," Chen Mu shook his head.

Hmm... Could it be that selling these so-called wealth management methods is actually the real lever that doubles your wealth?

Everyone who joins the Daoist discussion group must give Vice Governor Sun five points of Daoist merit each time.

There are also exchanges within the small discussion sessions, and it's said that a commission is drawn from each transaction.

"Tsk tsk...impressive technique!"

Chen Mu marveled at the intelligence of these people for a while, then rolled up the scroll and prepared to go underground to cultivate.

But as his eyes swept over the scribbles-like characters, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

It seems, perhaps, maybe, that I can understand a little bit?

Chen Mu's heart stirred, and he immediately summoned the gray wall.

Writing: 9377/10000/Second order;

really!

Who would have thought that his writing skills, which he had neglected for years, could actually help him decipher ciphertext?!

"What a pleasant surprise! Haha!"
