My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 394 The Opportunity
Time flies, and the weather is getting hotter.

On the east side of Chaoyang Mountain, the mountain wind rustles through the trees.

A thin line of red light, like an arrow, traced a spiral arc through the dense forest, moving as fast as lightning.

At one moment, the red light suddenly accelerated and crashed straight into a gray-white boulder protruding from the ground.

With a soft "plop," the stone, like solidified grease meeting a hot knife, was effortlessly pierced by the red light.

Then the red light nimbly changed direction and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Under the eaves, in front of the porch, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed.

His eyes darted left and right, but his attention wasn't on what was in front of him.

After a while, a flash of red light appeared in front of him, and a vermilion flying blade, as thin as a feather, appeared and stopped in front of Chen Mu.

Reaching out, Chen Mu plucked it and held it up to his eyes, admiring it with delight.

"What a flying sword!"

Thinking of his rapid escape through the clouds and splitting rocks, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel excited.

This was a month after he arrived at Jilong Mountain.

After overcoming the initial sense of unfamiliarity, he quickly adapted in just three days. He secluded himself in the small building to refine elixirs and cultivate his magic, gradually returning to his previous lifestyle.

In his spare time, he would take out the Zhu Yu magic sword, which he had been forging for a long time, and play with it. After just one try, he fell in love with the feeling of controlling the flying sword.

The Zhu Yu sword is inherently capable of penetrating armor and flying at extremely high speeds.

What's even more amazing is that the "pulling mechanism" method can provide him with a visual and sensory experience as if he were actually there.

Combining the two techniques, each time he manipulated the flying sword, it was as if he himself was flying away at high speed!
Moreover, he wasn't afraid of crashing into things, because everything he hit was pierced through by the Zhu Yu magic sword!

"The Zhu Yu magic sword is sharp enough to be indestructible."

"The secret technique of controlling flying swords is wondrous, allowing one to ride flying swords over extremely long distances."

"The legendary flying swords that leaped across the sky and slew people from a thousand miles away must have been something like this."

Chen Mu chuckled as he examined the jade seed inside his body.

He pulled a cluster of true meaning talismans in front of him.

The talisman was shrouded in dark green mist on the outside, and its interior resembled an irregular, dark stone.

The stone is covered with countless holes, and wisps of thick green mist flow quietly between these holes.

This is precisely the true meaning and essence of the secret method of connecting the mechanism.

"It is indeed easy to use, but it looks a bit strange."

Considering the consistently bizarre style of the Wushan Six Siblings' secret techniques, Chen Mu found it quite reasonable.

"It's not like I'll miss out on this one skill; it's just so useful." Chen Mu shrugged, unconcerned.

The secret method of pulling the mechanism is similar to the incantation of the Green Cicada Mother and Child.

At the very beginning of the construction of the core rune of the Pulling Machine Secret Technique, a rune spirit seed was spontaneously split off.

After integrating the spirit seed into the magic sword, the core of the mechanism can be used to connect the spirit seed, linking the real and virtual worlds, and transmitting magic power regardless of distance, thus achieving control of the magic sword over extremely long distances.

As for how far he could fly on the flying sword, Chen Mu didn't know.

Based on current tests, covering Chaoyang Mountain is an easy task.

"Can it really fly to the ends of the earth?" Chen Mu's heart was filled with excitement.

"Is this where the story of flying swords delivering messages comes from?"

The Zhu Yu sword only has the ability to break through armor and escape, but a more powerful flying sword might have the ability to teleport across the void.

With the help of a secret technique for controlling distance beyond visual range, it is not impossible to travel thousands of miles in an instant.

"The secret technique of pulling the loom is not simple."

The Azure Cicada Mother-Child Talisman can control magical artifacts over extremely long distances, but it cannot provide sensory feedback. Beyond the line of sight, it can only fly blindly with its eyes closed.

The first three stages of the Pulling Technique also suffer from this problem. However, after breaking through to the fourth stage, both the core magic rune and the split spirit seed undergo a transformation simultaneously. With the addition of visual sensory feedback, the control distance increases dramatically.

not only that.

Chen Mu spread his hands.

The Zhu Yu magic sword, which had been lying quietly in the palm of his hand, leaped into the air like a nimble cat.

Without any manual intervention, the Zhu Yu magic sword automatically revolved around him, occasionally darting away into the distance, only to quickly bounce back to his side. The spirituality it displayed was truly extraordinary.

Chen Mu stared intently at the flying sword and noticed that its autonomous flight trajectory was quite similar to that of the flying sword he had practiced before: "It seems to have some kind of autonomous learning ability."

"The Pulling Machine Technique was originally used to control puppet soldiers."

"Clearly, this kind of manipulation is not as simple as that of a puppet on a string."

"Through continuous practice, the puppet soldiers can be made to imitate, eventually achieving automatic defense or attack?"

"Amazing!" Chen Mu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Could it be that by some twist of fate it can automatically protect its master and launch a counterattack? Could it also contain a similar magical talisman's true meaning?" Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"Looks like I'll have to spend more time grinding experience with the Pulling Machine Technique in the future."

The Buddhist Scripture Transmission Hall is located on the west side of Jilong Mountain.

Below the five-story Sutra Transmission Pavilion is a bamboo grove.

Countless green-tiled corridors meander through the bamboo forest, connecting one octagonal pavilion after another.

Beneath the Listening to the Waves Pavilion, a middle-aged man dressed in black sat cross-legged on a futon.

A long table was placed in front of him, on which sat a bronze incense burner. Wisps of smoke condensed into a thin line, and a faint, calming fragrance permeated the surroundings.

"All Taoist practitioners must first gather their spirit to form the Jade Seed and then the Purple Palace Niwan."

"Next, one needs to sense the primordial energy, cultivate spiritual light, break through illusions, and finally gather the primordial talisman to obtain magical power."

"After that, one can perform all sorts of secret techniques and methods, and can be called a Qi cultivator."

"But there are limits to human capabilities."

"If you want to go further, you have to change your fundamentals and establish a completely new foundation."

"To build a foundation for the Dao, one must first refine one's spiritual aperture."

“After the divine aperture is refined by Yin and Yang, it can be called the River Chariot or the Dao Embryo. Only at this time can it return to its original state and generate the primordial Qi.”

"And the primordial energy is the essential vital energy for building the foundation of the Dao."

"..."

The middle-aged man in black spoke eloquently.

The people sitting or standing in the bamboo grove corridors all around listened with rapt attention.

Chen Mu leaned against a pillar in the corridor, listening with great interest.

He used to follow the rules and bury himself in cultivation, and this was the first time he had heard someone explain the cultivation path.

"To combine the Jade Seed, gather the Primordial Symbol, condense the Divine Aperture, refine the River Chariot, and establish the Dao Foundation. This is the cultivation path for Qi cultivators of the Yunzhou Daoist sect."

"Those unorthodox practitioners who cultivate demonic arts risk losing control and suffering backlash. To avert disaster, they have no choice but to be struck by lightning."

“Our Qi cultivation is different from the authentic one; every step has a traceable path.”

"As long as you get guidance and practice diligently, you can progress step by step."

“Like our Dongli Dao Master, he is a Dao Foundation cultivator.”

"The Dao Lord first destroyed the White Pagoda of Chongshan Dao, and then killed Li Xin of Liyang Dao. He was incredibly powerful and his prestige was unparalleled!"

"As long as everyone practices diligently, one day they too will be able to master it."

This black-clad scholar was extremely eloquent; in just a few words, he painted a rosy picture for everyone, making them excited and thrilled.

Chen Mu himself was deeply moved as he listened.

"If one day I achieve enlightenment, I will definitely book an entire pleasure boat and brothel."

"Let those ladies, some plump and some slender, take turns, hmph..."

"I want to listen to music all night long!"

Just as he was lost in his daydreams, a voice interrupted him.

"Senior brother, what happens after establishing the Dao Foundation?"

The middle-aged man in black glanced at the other party indifferently: "Above the Foundation Establishment stage? I suggest everyone go get a good night's sleep. Anything can happen in dreams."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Mu couldn't help but scratch his head.

He hadn't even mastered his own divine apertures yet, let alone the foundation of his Dao.

You're overthinking it.

"I have been practicing Qi for thirty years and have completed more than half of the Qi Condensation stage. I have a wealth of experience."

"I know which time of day is the most efficient for cultivation, which pills are effective and inexpensive, and I also know which methods can assist cultivation without side effects."

"These messaging techniques have all been practiced by me over many years."

"If you want to know, you only need to spend nine hundred and ninety-nine white jade coins..."

Seeing everyone eager to try it out after being coaxed by the Doctor of Transmission, Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He had a feeling of déjà vu, like seeing a video of him selling courses in his past life.

Chen Mu went against the flow of people and quietly left.

It wasn't that he didn't want to buy it, he was just short of money.

The combination of the Kui Shui Yin Lei technique and the Condensing Aperture secret method drained his entire fortune. His more than 40,000 in jade savings were now reduced to just over 2,000.

After years of lavish living, everything was wiped out in an instant.

If you want to cultivate Qi and become an immortal, you need to make money first.
