My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 327 Jie Wen
Several days later, inside Chen Muzhu's building.

"Jiewen?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the brown scroll in his hand.

He had initially thought the scribbles were some kind of coded cipher, but it turned out to be a unique font.

Having been in Yunzhou for so long, he had never heard of Jiewen.

Chen Mu looked at the experience on the gray wall.

Writing: 12/10000/Third order;

He hasn't practiced alchemy these past few days, instead staying in the bamboo house, focusing all his attention on writing experience books.

Once he reached the third stage of writing, he naturally came to understand the meaning of the script.

Unrolling the scroll, Chen Mu stared at the densely packed Jie characters, examining them one by one.

After looking at it for a while, the characters outlined by those dots and lines seem to slowly wriggle and come to life.

Suddenly, a picture appeared out of thin air in his mind.

On the sheer cliff, the wind howled.

A plant about the size of a palm, with several large, purplish-red berries hanging from its top, swayed in the wind.

Looking at the small fruit, Chen Mu had a sudden realization.

This thing is called Job's tears, a berry with a special aroma that can repel poisonous insects.

A flood of information, including the appearance of the Job's tears peach, its growing environment, and its cultivation methods, came one after another into my mind.

Chen Mu continued to stare at Jiewen.

Next to the image of the mountain peak in his mind, a fist-sized ball of silver thread slowly appeared.

That was actually the most essential part of the Job's tears peach, a magical symbolic pattern made of Job's tears essence!
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

This script can not only record image and sound information simultaneously, but it can also be used to describe magical symbols?!
Make a profit!
Chen Mu continued watching with a delighted expression.

For a long while, he stared at the signature in the last column of the scroll.

"The Pill Refining Sect? Ge Yuan?"

never heard of that.

But it's definitely not ordinary!
"It might even be a major sect that's famous across several states."

Just like the Thousand Machine Sect, which produces the guillotine boats and cloud bat flying boats. Even though they are not in Yunzhou, they are closely related to all industries in Yunzhou.

……

Chen Mu snapped out of his thoughts and quickly browsed through the notes on herbs.

It contains records of 108 kinds of spiritual herbs and stones, ranging from the simplest appearance and shape information to the most refined magical symbol structure, with detailed and clear content.

Chen Mu also saw yellow sprout rice and the essence of five grains magic talisman.

Although the Jie script, unlike the secret jade tablets, cannot directly form temporary talismans within the jade seed to accelerate the condensation of talismans, it clearly reveals the key points of talisman formation.

With continuous practice and study, one can learn to condense any kind of spiritual medicine essence or talisman on their own.

"That Vice-Minister Sun probably doesn't know about Jiewen."

Over a hundred kinds of exquisite magical talismans!

This one scroll, as thick as a forearm, is worth as much as ten jade tablets containing the method for refining fasting pills!

"I thought I bought a cheap book, but I never expected it to be so valuable."

"I've made a fortune! Haha!"

……

Half a month later.

Wuyanshan General Affairs Office.

Chen Mu handed over the Bigu Pill and happily accepted the identity jade token.

To date, the internal cultivation level of the identity jade tablet has reached over six thousand.

This was only because he restrained his alchemy speed; otherwise, it might have already exceeded ten thousand!
"This trip to Wuyan Mountain was worthwhile."

"Not only is there little danger, but we also make a fortune!"

“Junior brother, why haven’t you visited my Dao discussion group lately? The fellow Daoists have been missing you quite a bit,” Sun Wuhuan said with a smile.

You want my Taoist cultivation, don't you?!

"I'm busy refining pills," Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

"The misty mountains are damp, and the warehouse regulations are not yet perfect. That cave full of yellow sprout rice could mold and rot at any time."

"I left in a hurry last time. If it weren't for the urgent mission, I would have gone back to see it for myself no matter what." Chen Mu looked troubled.

Go ahead and try to fool me.

Do you think I, the Deputy Chief of the Capital, wouldn't know whether the warehouse prohibition law is sound?

This guy just can't bear to part with his Flower Dao Skill!
"Recently, we obtained a batch of Dongling's unique miasma-repelling pills, which can purify miasma and drive away poisonous insects."

"When traveling in these Dongling Mountains, you can't do without these things."

Chen Mu's face lit up with excitement upon hearing this: "I'll definitely go check on it after I finish refining the yellow sprout rice in the warehouse!"

Sun Wuhuan secretly rolled his eyes.

Finish refining it? That huge cave of yellow sprout rice wouldn't be finished in less than three or four months. Whether the Daoist discussion meetings would even still exist by then is another matter entirely.

I've run into another stingy person!
Forget it, there's more than one sucker out of me.

Sun Wuhuan thought helplessly, then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "You know the location, junior brother is welcome to visit anytime."

Visiting? Are you going to rip me off? I'm not going!

While thinking this, Chen Mu pretended to be serious and said, "I will definitely come to bother you when I have free time!"

...On the north side of Wuyan Mountain is a near-vertical cliff, as if carved by a knife and axe.

At night, the silvery moonlight shines down, and the cliff face is shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.

laugh!
With a soft sound, a wisp of black smoke suddenly shot out from somewhere halfway up the cliff.

The black smoke, like a flame-slicing gun, slid at a steady speed across the cliff face, quickly carving out a man-high arched doorway.

The next moment, the rocks inside the arch suddenly disappeared, and a dark cave entrance appeared.

Chen Mu stood at the edge of the cave entrance, peering upwards.

A faint light came from the distant west.

That was the summit of Misty Peak, where the Cloud Palace of the Misty Cloud Sect was located, extremely far from where he was at this moment.

"We can't explore the underground river, but we still have to dig the secret passage."

Fortunately, he had explored the underground environment more than once before, abandoned the underground river, and quickly devised a new plan.

Using passive listening to correct their orientation, they quickly dug through the tunnel.

"If we can't go underground, then we'll rely on the teleportation technique to fly."

Looking at the exit of the secret passage far from the top of Misty Mountain, Chen Mu was quite satisfied.

As he stepped back, the large, doorway-shaped rock that he had deliberately left behind appeared, completely blocking the exit of the secret passage.

Even if you look closely, you might not be able to find it.

……

In the underground chamber, on a soft couch, Chen Mu comfortably nestled into the cushions.

Holding a bamboo tube of chilled herbal tea, he slurped it down with a rice straw while staring at the gray wall in front of him.

Drawing: 5967/10000/Second order;

Cooking skill: 9440/10000/Tier 5;

Pharmaceutical Skill: 7817/10000/Tier 5;

Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell: 2256/10000/Ninth Rank;

Transformation Technique: 8997/10000/Tier 4;

Five Qi Hunyuan Method: 866/10000/Third Order;

My writing skills have just improved and are unlikely to change in the short term.

On the contrary, thanks to "Ge's Notes on Herbs", the art of medicine making has improved significantly recently.

Furthermore, due to continuous alchemy practice, the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique successfully advanced to the third stage.

The four skills of cooking, shapeshifting, the Heart-to-Heart Mantra, and the Five Elements Qi Absorption Method have unknowingly reached the final stage of breakthrough.

"No rush, there's no need to separate these for liver."

"It's good to proceed gradually and let things take their natural course."

"On the contrary, the Fire Cloud Spell was once again put on hold because of alchemy."

"Now that the alchemy is on track and the secret passage has been dug, we can allocate more time."

……

Square halfway up Wuyan Mountain.

Inside the two-story building, Sun Wuhuan's small discussion meeting was in full swing.

Thirty or forty people walked around the long tables in the room, occasionally talking in hushed tones.

Sun Wuhuan was all smiles.

The dozen or so sellers listed here were all imposters hired by him.

They exchanged the spoils they had secretly acquired some time ago for high-priced Taoist merits.

They've held this event multiple times over the past few months, and have already made a fortune.

"Master, those two alchemy apprentices have agreed," a thin man with a pockmarked face said to Sun Wuhuan.

“From today onwards, when they consume the essence of the five grains, they will adjust and refine it according to the talisman you gave them.”

Sun Wuhuan's smile grew even brighter.

"If the essence of the five grains is not correct, the fasting pill will cause problems."

"That little alchemist has gotten himself into big trouble this time!" The orange-faced man chuckled.

“That’s not my fault.” Sun Wuhuan chuckled. “I didn’t sell counterfeit goods. It’s much better to just spend a little money to buy peace of mind.”

"If there's a problem with the fasting pills, it's not just a small amount of money at stake."

Ah……

It takes six or seven thousand merits.

I really can't bear to be soft-hearted.
