My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 383 Inventory
A few days later, in front of the Bamboo House, a square table was placed by the window on the east side of the porch.

In the center of the table were three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, including minced pork belly with garlic sauce and scallion-flavored spare ribs. Next to them, a flat bamboo basket was piled high with homemade pie pies.

He'd been busy grinding for experience with the Hundred Miasma Pill these past few days, consuming mostly Rejuvenating Soup and Bigu Pills. Now that things had calmed down, he immediately treated himself to a good meal to satisfy his cravings.

The wind swept everything away like a whirlwind, releasing five paper ghost figures to wash dishes and plates. Chen Mu leaned against a pillar in the porch, letting the gray wall appear before his eyes.

"The experience points for the Tongxi Baizhang Pill have reached their limit. It was worth the seven or eight days of hard training."

For the first five or six days, he only refined one pill at a time, increasing the frequency of pill refining to improve his proficiency.

Once he had accumulated enough experience, he went all out and, in just two days, depleted the poisonous miasma inside the Qi-accumulating gourd, harvesting more than eighty Hundred Miasma Pills.

"Sell it when you have time, and you'll make a fortune."

Chen Mule laughed for a while, then looked at another column.

Yellow Springs General Outline: 8702/10000/Fifth Order;

The Yellow Springs General Principles are fundamental, and he dedicates time to cultivating them every day. As his experience increases, his entire being undergoes a silent but profound transformation. His magical power becomes abundant, his physique robust, and his use of the Five Ghosts Possession technique becomes increasingly formidable.

"It should take less than a month to complete the current phase."

After pondering the progress for a while, Chen Mu shifted his attention again.

Giant Spirit God: 66/10000/Tier 5;

"This secret technique seems to be quite complex."

This secret technique originated from the six brothers of Wushan, and was initially regarded as an ordinary secret method.

Later, it was discovered that it could consume excess essence from the Rejuvenation Soup, thus aiding in the cultivation of the Yellow Springs General Principles to some extent. This is why it was included in the daily cultivation plan. With consistent effort over time, progress was consistently rapid. As its rank increased, its unique characteristics began to emerge.

With a thought, a red vortex spun behind him, and a half-body statue of a god, over three meters tall and clad in golden silk and red armor, appeared.

At the same time, a series of secret techniques flooded into his mind.

"A fifth-order secret technique can give the caster twice the power, and that power is based on the caster's state at the time of casting the technique."

"So, I first activate the Five Ghosts Possession Technique, and then I activate the Giant Spirit God. The secret technique will then be multiplied based on my state after being possessed by the Five Ghosts?!" Even though he had sensed it beforehand, he still felt a sense of disbelief.

Chen Mu couldn't help but clench his fist suddenly, squeezing the air and producing a muffled popping sound.

"No wonder he tore through Sun Wujiu's Yin Binding Seven Kills so easily back then."

"Back then, the Giant Spirit God was only at the fourth tier, with a mere doubling of power! If the Giant Spirit God were to grind to its limit..."

"hiss!"

The Listening Technique had already given him quite a surprise, and now the Giant Spirit God was also showing some mysterious power. What about the secret techniques of the others?
"It seems I should meet with the six siblings of Wushan before leaving Dongling."

……

Underground secret room.

Chen Mu sat on the soft couch, opening and examining each of the mustard seed talismans one by one.

The low table in front of him was piled with miscellaneous items such as herbs, minerals, furs, and talismans. Several kites lay on the ground next to the soft couch.

The items were obtained by killing Sun Wujiu and others.

Previously, fearing it might be locked, it had been buried deep underground. Now, half a month later, Sun Jian was still wandering aimlessly around the Five Mountains of Dongling like a headless fly, so Chen Mu dared to take it out and categorize it.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that many items were covered in dark red bloodstains.

"How can I not be surprised at all?" Chen Mu pouted.

"On the surface, they're searching for family heirlooms, but secretly they're engaged in murder and robbery. Tsk..."

More than ten mustard seed talismans were opened and emptied, leaving only a round jade pendant, which he held in his hand and played with.

The jade pendant is about the size of a palm and is light green in color. It has a circle of cloud patterns around the perimeter and a slightly raised spherical surface about the size of a copper coin in the center.

It looks like an accessory, but it is actually a reusable mustard seed jade talisman.

He channeled his magic power into his fingertips, focusing it on the center of the jade pendant. A continuously expanding force emerged, drawn by his magic power.

With practiced ease, he tossed the large wooden cabinet, as tall as a person, in front of him with a thud.

"As expected of the head of the household, even his storage cabinet is a bit bigger than everyone else's."

Compared to the others' elaborate items, Sun Wujiu's were much simpler.

First, there are white jade coins, roughly estimated at three thousand.

Then came some elixirs and talismans.

The most numerous items were various metal ingots, which occupied almost half of the storage cabinet.

Chen Mu immediately thought of the gourd sword box.

"Is it to forge flying swords?"

"No wonder he only has three thousand white jade coins." Three thousand white jade coins is a huge sum for a disciple of the lower academy, but it is far less than what the head of the Sun family could have.

"I estimate that some of them also bought Peiyuan Pills."

Sun Wuhuan didn't have many white jade coins on him back then.

"The Yellow Springs General Outline is a major energy consumer and requires a large amount of Qi-Nourishing Pills."

"Now it seems that the gourd sword box is also a money-devouring beast."

"No wonder the Sun family members are all so greedy."

"Fortunately, I have the Rejuvenating Soup to replace the Nourishing Essence Pill." Chen Mu was quite relieved.

Compared to elixirs that require precious medicinal herbs, the Rejuvenation Soup only requires the meat of exotic beasts. Using it to cultivate the Yellow Springs General Principles is incredibly cost-effective.

"It's a pity we couldn't find Sun Wujiu's Yin Binding Seven Kills Secret Technique, nor the Two Realms Isolation Restriction." Chen Mu looked through a jade tablet about the length of a forearm, quite regretfully.

The jade tablet contained the general outline of the Yellow Springs, and he had obtained a copy of the same secret manual from Sun Wuhuan.

"So I can only keep it as a souvenir."

They were categorized and sealed into mustard seed talismans, then put into the Five Ghosts Bag. A whole bunch of things were quickly organized and stored.

"There are quite a few miscellaneous items. I'll find an opportunity to sell them all and exchange them for white jade coins."

……

"Find someone to cover for you?"

"Not many people are willing to take the position of Proofreader at Misty Mountain."

On the west side of the bamboo house's porch, Jia Tian sat by a low table, shaking his head repeatedly.

Chen Mu said calmly, "Give me the money."

"It's only because of you, senior brother, that I wouldn't do this job." Jia Tian said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Tsk, look at your greedy face.

"Qinglu Academy is highly skilled; we can't just find anyone to fool us," Chen Mu said, still worried.

This little bald guy used to follow Shang Huan and did all sorts of bad things, like selling inferior goods for the sake of white jade money.

"There are countless martial artists from the Great Qian Dynasty here in Dongling. It's not difficult for me to find someone who is meticulous and clean," Jia Tian said confidently.

“Yes, I almost forgot, besides being a shrewd businessman, you also have the title of a little prince.” Chen Mu glanced at the other person across the low table, his eyelids drooping.

The bald man waved his hand modestly, saying, "It's nothing, nothing at all!"

Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Try to get it done within a month, preferably before the next Cloud Bat Flying Boat arrives."

"Senior brother is leaving Dongling." Jia Tian's smile faded.

Chen Mu nodded calmly; he just wanted to find a peaceful space to cultivate.

"In that case, I won't charge you this time," Jia Tian sighed.

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

Free? Has the sun risen in the west?

"Senior brother, what kind of look is that!" Jia Tian said angrily.

Chen Mu didn't speak, but stared at the other person sideways.

"Hehe, I heard from my errand boys who help you with purchasing and delivery that you're researching new pills lately?" Jia Tian rubbed his hands together. "My trading company hasn't been open for long, and I need some high-quality items to attract customers. What do you think..."

That's how it should be.

but……

"Your shop doesn't sell counterfeit goods, does it?"

“That’s impossible.” Jia Tian said calmly, “Let me put it this way, none of my businesses have ever received a return.”

Why does this sound so familiar?
Chen Mu looked at Jia Tian with suspicion.

Forget it, if this bald guy really dares to open a shop and sell counterfeit goods, he'll ruin his own reputation and end up suffering the consequences himself.

Chen Mu shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and took out the Hundred Miasma Pill he had practiced a few days ago.

"I can sell you the pills, but you'd better get on my good side of finding someone to cover your shift as soon as possible."

"rest assured!"

"I'll definitely get it done perfectly for you!"
