My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 350 Rejuvenating Soup

Time passes, and the sun and moon alternate.

Besides teaching three apprentices at the beginning of each month.

Chen Mu spent most of his time staying in the wooden building, taking medicine and cultivating.

During occasional breaks, one can refine two or three batches of Bigu Pills, and then take some from the previously collected Intercepting Pills to gather about six thousand pills before submitting them to the General Affairs Bureau.

The alchemist Qi Hui only practices this amount each month.

Without the powerful Dao-devouring technique of the Condensing Aperture Secret Method, Chen Mu's enthusiasm for Daoist cultivation rapidly waned. Submitting "One-Stop Fasting Pills" each month was sufficient.

My life was regular and fulfilling; two and a half months flew by.

In the underground secret room.

Chen Mu took off his shirt and took a deep breath.

Possessed by five ghosts!

hum!
Thick black smoke rushed into his body.

Beneath his skin, it seemed as if pythons were writhing, rapidly bulging and coiling, suddenly transforming him into a muscular giant, three heads taller than a heavy truck from his previous life.

Its entire body is indigo blue, with faint silver streaks appearing and disappearing.

Her hair moved on its own even without wind, as if it were floating in water.

At the same time, waves of murderous and devouring desires assaulted his mind, and his eyes slowly became bloodshot and turned crimson.

But Chen Mu felt unusually calm.

With the practice of the secret method of condensing the apertures, both body and mind are strengthened.

The maddening ravings of the Five Ghosts now seem to be isolated by some force, and before reaching their limit, they can no longer easily shake his mind.

Chen Mu silently counted in his mind, standing still.

For a moment, only his heavy, long breathing could be heard in the secret room.

At one moment, the incoherent ramblings in his mind intensified. Chen Mu exhaled, releasing the five ghosts from his possession.

"About twelve minutes."

With the cultivation of the Condensation Technique, the duration of possession by the Five Ghosts has increased once again.

"Strength and speed have also increased to varying degrees." Chen Mu clenched his fist, feeling the power throughout his body.

He drew out the gray walls.

Yellow Springs General Outline: 7115/10000/Second Order;

After two months of arduous practice, five-sevenths of the second set of talismans for the Condensation Technique have been completed.

The original net-like spherical runes have been gradually filled and solidified.

The same silver-white color is used as the main color, with black silk threads as veins, giving it an ancient and mysterious feel.

As the magic talisman was refined, the jade seed expanded once again.

"There are nine magic talismans in total. Does that mean the jade seed will be expanded ninefold? How powerful will the magic power be then?!" Chen Mu exclaimed in astonishment.

It was extremely lucky that I was able to kill Sun Wuhuan back then.

"That ghost was really a big help."

"Of course, I also helped that ghost a little. When you're in the game, it's all about helping each other out, supporting one another."

"I wonder if we'll ever see each other again. Hmm... I wish you could help me eat that old devil Sun Jian."

……

The next day, in the eastern part of Fangshi.

Chen Mu trudged through the muddy black soil, smelling the pungent stench of blood, and arrived at Butcher Lu's butcher shop.

"Still 100 catties of fresh meat?" Lu Tu asked with a smile.

"Yes, we should." Chen Mu nodded.

"I would like to earn more of your white jade, but all I have here are pigs and rabbits," Lu Tu said helplessly.

"What? Those heretical cultivators in Dongling are still playing guerrilla warfare?" Chen Mu frowned.

It's been almost three months, hasn't it? The inspection team still hasn't finished their crackdown?

"I wonder what kind of reconnaissance techniques those Dongling barbarians have mastered, they appear and disappear like ghosts."

As Lu Tu spoke, his right forearm was taut as he chopped down the meat on the cutting board with all his might.

boom!
The red meat on the cutting board immediately... broke a little.

Lu Tu glanced at the blade, then calmly continued chopping, chatting with Chen Mu as he swung the knife.

"The moment the patrol officers showed up, they were spotted. Then those barbarians turned tail and disappeared into the deep mountains and forests, and no one could catch them."

"But if they encounter a small hunting party, they will suddenly appear and launch various attacks and cause trouble."

"This has made everyone afraid to go far away to hunt, so they can only stay at the foot of the mountain to raise pigs and rabbits to sell."

Lu Tu slashed more than ten times, each slash delivered with full force, until finally, on the sixteenth strike, the blade snapped.

Chen Mu tilted his head slightly, dodging the flying half of the knife, and looked at Butcher Lu speechlessly.

"You can break a knife even with such tender pork and rabbit? Can't you just buy a magic weapon knife?" Butcher Lu poked the hard, rubbery pork and rabbit meat twice with his right index finger, staring at Chen Mu speechlessly: "You're saying this meat is tender?!"

Are you some kind of monster?! Your teeth are so sharp?!

Glancing at Chen Mu's row of wide, comb-like, snow-white, fine teeth, Butcher Lu suddenly realized: "Have you been practicing some kind of strongman technique?"

"No wonder I never noticed that you eat so much exotic beast meat every day!" Butcher Lu exclaimed in amazement.

"Hurry up and chop the meat for me." Don't tell me you can't tell, even Sun Jian can't tell! Do you really think my fifth-order shapeshifting technique is a joke?

However, after Lu the butcher mentioned it, Chen Mu realized what was going on.

Although cooking techniques can soften the meat, it is still the meat of a strange beast, so it is normal that it is difficult to eat.

The reason I find the pig and rabbit tender, even a little too tender, is most likely due to the effects of the Yellow Springs General Principles.

"Will he develop steel teeth in the future? Biting gold and chewing iron as easily as he could?" Chen Mu thought to himself with a smile as he watched Butcher Lu struggle with the pork and rabbit meat with a new knife.

……

Carrying a basket of meat, Chen Mu walked into Hongcaotang on the south side of Fangshi Mountain Village.

He had run out of the Qi-Nourishing Pills, so he planned to buy some potent tonics to tide him over. Once he was certain that the situation in Dongling had stabilized somewhat, he would fly back to Yuquan Mountain.

One hundred and sixty-four pieces of white jade? Another price increase?

"There's nothing I can do, the goods are hard to transport." The shopkeeper looked helpless: "According to usual practice, a transport team should have arrived three days ago, but it hasn't arrived yet."

"It must be those barbarians from Dongling causing trouble again."

"I don't know which bastard sold the detection artifact to those people, letting those barbarians turn against us. It's really..." the shopkeeper said with a face full of resentment.

"Detecting magical artifacts? Didn't they say they practiced some kind of detection technique?" Chen Mu was taken aback.

"A bunch of barbarians who either play with insects or worship demons, or are just brutes practicing heretical arts, what legitimate investigative techniques could they possibly have?"

"If they knew that secret technique, they wouldn't have been able to take down three mountains so easily," the dark-skinned, thin shopkeeper said with a disdainful look.

"It must be a detection-type magical artifact! This information came from the Inspection Bureau."

Detecting magical artifacts?

Suddenly, two fat men with their eyes completely closed from laughing appeared in Chen Mu's mind.

No...no way?!
He immediately shook his head and chuckled.

Shang Huan and Jia Tian, ​​those two fat guys, don't have that kind of ability. This is almost stirring up the situation in Dongling. It can't be that bad...

"How about you wait a couple more days, sir?" the shopkeeper suggested.

"Never mind, just wrap it up for me." Chen Mu shook his head.

At this rate, the longer you wait, the more expensive it will become.

While the shop assistant was filling out the prescription, Chen Mu asked the thin, dark-skinned shopkeeper, "Is it safe to go back to Yuquan Mountain with the transport team now?"

"It's a bit troublesome, but still relatively safe. After all, we have the patrol bureau protecting us," the shopkeeper said. "At most, we just need to be constantly on guard against harassment, which will slow things down a bit."

Chen Mu nodded.

If the situation remains volatile and solo flight is dangerous, it might be worthwhile to return with a supply convoy.

Although the round trip will take more than ten days, buying the Qi-Nourishing Pill will at least not affect my cultivation for the next month.

After chatting with the old shopkeeper for a while and finding out where to meet the transport team, Chen Mu carried a half-full sack of medicinal herbs in his left hand and a basket of meat in his right, ready to leave the mountain stronghold.

But as soon as they reached the door, they saw a disheveled group of people in front of them.

Four wounded, legless, and tailless seven-star centipedes slowly crawled over, their spirits low.

The people following them on both sides were covered in blood, and many of them were missing or crippled.

Is this... is this the late delivery team?
Chen Mu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after several days of monitoring, the situation worsened.

Several teams were attacked in succession, resulting in heavy casualties.

The local cultivators of Dongling launched a frenzied retaliation against Jilongdao.

"It's so dangerous, it's not good to go back to Yuquan Mountain," Chen Mu sighed.

Given the increasingly chaotic situation, even a transport convoy protected by the Inspection Bureau isn't necessarily safe. Let alone him running off alone.

Thinking of the Qi Condensation Technique, which had been suspended for several days, the braised pork in the alchemy furnace in front of me, which had been simmering for two hours, still smelled very good...

No matter how delicious the braised pork was, it couldn't stop him from being afraid of the eccentric old man Sun Jian who held the Kui Shui Yin Lei.

After eating two large bowls of braised pork with pickled cowpeas, my worries and frustrations eased a little.

"If only Eagle's Sorrow Cliff had a pill to replace the Nourishing Essence Pill," Chen Mu thought wistfully.

Then a recipe for a medicine called Huiyuan Tang (Rejuvenation Soup) popped into his head... uh, a recipe for it?!

Chen Mu pulled up the gray wall with a strange expression.

Cooking skill: 13/10000/Level 6;

"what!"

"What an unexpected surprise!"
