My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 47 Peace of mind
Qingfeng Temple is located on the back mountain.

A litter of black-skinned wild boars were rolling around in the mud.

Chen Mu emerged from the woods, startling the family of two adults and three children.

One of the large black boars had protruding tusks and twitching nostrils, staring curiously at Chen Mu.

puff!
A fist-sized clod of earth suddenly exploded on the head of the big black pig.

The big black pig was stunned.

puff!
Another clod of earth exploded.

Puff puff……

Now, the family of five was all covered in dust and dirt.

These two-legged sheep are too arrogant!
Does the second senior brother not have a temper?

I absolutely cannot tolerate this!
The family of five, panting heavily, launched their attack.

Wild boars weighing three to four hundred pounds have thick skin and meat, and sharp tusks.

When it charges, even lions and tigers have to give way.

Five wild boars charged toward Chen Mu like small tanks.

Just as the wild boar ran within four meters of him...

puff!
A burst of bright red smoke suddenly appeared and accurately hit the black pig's nostrils.

Pfft!
The five black pigs' front legs buckled, and their heads plunged into the mud with a thud.

Driven by inertia, they were all thrown into the air and flipped around, their ears and tongues flying everywhere.

After landing, it stopped moving and rolled to Chen Mu's feet.

They huddled together, one after another, fast asleep without a care in the world.

Chen Mu clenched his fist involuntarily.

"It's done!"

Inside the Five Ghosts Bag, on the bottom shelf of the egg-shaped shelf, all the storage compartments were sealed with waterproof tarpaulin and resin to ensure that not a single wisp of air could leak out.

The room was now filled with thick red smoke—the revamped Bewitching Smoke!

The original version of the Mystic Smoke is superior because it is colorless and odorless, highlighting its secrecy.

The revamped Mishen cigarettes not only have a festive color but also a rich flavor.

But it is more powerful and strikes swiftly, instantly knocking down those hit!
The second senior brother in front of me is proof of this.

Chen Mu smiled as he looked at the family of five.

"Should it be braised or grilled..."

……

"Boss, we've found the scholar!" A constable whispered to Constable Lu.

"We've finally found it!" Officer Lu exclaimed excitedly.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face was flushed, and he was filled with excitement.

It took him a while to come to his senses. He tossed a few taels of silver to the constable and waved him away.

He quickly left the government office amidst the other party's profuse thanks.

……

As evening fell, Officer Lu quietly arrived in front of a house.

The room was dimly lit, and a figure sat in the shadows.

The joy in Officer Lu's heart could no longer be contained.

This is his hope in developing his courage!
Ten years to train the body, a hundred years to nourish the spirit.

Training the body is difficult enough, but nourishing the spirit is even more difficult!

Now, he has a shortcut in front of him!
Once you develop the courage and willpower, you will live a long and healthy life, and be invulnerable to swords and spears. You can truly roam the world freely!

"Scholar, obediently become my advancement resources!"

Drawing his sword, Officer Lu mustered all his strength and smashed the wooden door open with a loud crash.

He rushed straight at the figure in front of the table.

……

South of Qingshan County, on the banks of the Bailang River.

In a river bend, on the calm water, a large number of white fish swim.

Chen Mu sat on a rock by the river.

A plume of black smoke appeared and disappeared around him.

Every so often, black smoke would rush into the water.

There will be far fewer fish in the water.

Inside the Five Ghosts Bag.

In the center of the egg-shaped shelf is a vertical shaft with a diameter of one meter, filled with unconscious live fish. This is the feeding opening left for the Five Ghost Bags.

The shelves and tents are just to prevent theft; the food still needs to be fed.

"It's time to go." Chen Mu glanced at the setting sun.

For the past two weeks, he spent his mornings practicing his physical transformation techniques and his afternoons practicing the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell by the Bailang River.

The continuous manipulation of the Five Ghost Bag caused Chen Mu's head to throb with pain.

"Does the Five Ghosts Bag consume vital energy, spirit energy, or soul power?" Chen Mu, pale-faced, wondered with lingering fear.

At first, he didn't know any better and just kept practicing intensely. He almost overdid it.

The paper effigy of the ghost is like an invisible hand. Taking action consumes physical strength. Controlling the Five Ghost Bags requires even more mysterious energy.

If overused, he will become lethargic and agitated.

Therefore, Chen Mu always tries to save time and effort during practice sessions.

The black mist was summoned, but it was immediately dispelled before the paper figure could materialize.

So the black smoke kept swirling around him.

I glanced at my reflection in the water. Dark circles under my eyes, pale face, and bloodshot eyes from excitement—it was just like when I stayed up all night playing games in my past life.

"Playing games isn't as satisfying as grinding for skill levels." Chen Mu was tired, but excited.

After chanting a few incantations, black smoke billowed out. The feedback was unmatched by any game!
After working on it for half a month straight, my skill level skyrocketed.

Although the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell hadn't broken through to the second level, it had successfully shortened the time to within ten seconds, making it even faster and more stealthy. He carried a small bamboo basket about knee-high on his back, filled with seven or eight fish to conceal his movements.

Chen Mu followed the Bailang River towards Xiaodongshan in the southeast.

……

boom!
Officer Lu charged in like an enraged wild boar.

Yet, he was beaten out like a rag doll.

A burly man with a blank expression walked out of the wooden house.

The other person was wearing black trousers and a t-shirt. His bare arms showed powerful, chiseled muscles.

Officer Lu stared intently at that familiar face, and a sudden thought struck him—he couldn't help but recall the serious injury he had suffered a year ago.

"It's you! The mastermind behind the Wang family massacre!"

"Aren't you dead?!"

Officer Lu was filled with horror. Who was that person who had been beheaded? How could the two look so alike?

"Lu Jin, you're really cautious."

"I've been following you for half a year, and I've finally waited until you're alone."

Officer Lu's expression changed.

This person is connected to the criminal and has been meticulously staking out the area... Danger!

"Attacked civilians in the dead of night."

"Officer Lu, are you going to kill someone for personal gain again?" the burly man said mockingly.

"The head constable of Qingshan County is a serial killer, huh!"

Lu Jin's scalp tingled: "He knows! How could he know?!"

“In Xiaodongshan, there is Qingfeng Temple, so I dare not touch you. But this is Qingshan County, and you are all alone. Heh…” The burly man’s face was full of a cat-and-mouse smile.

"This is troublesome!" Lu Jin's heart sank.

I was caught off guard and took the hit head-on, so I'm already injured.

If this keeps going, they'll wear me down!
"We can't stay in the city; we must find a way to show sincerity!" Lu Jin made a firm decision.

He took out a Five Qi Pill and stuffed it into his mouth with a pained expression.

His blood and qi surged instantly, and his face immediately became flushed and red.

He raised his sword high, let out a roar, and turned to run!

……

As December arrives, the weather in Qingshan County cools down, but it's not as cold as in the heart of Daliang, where evergreen plants continue to grow.

Chen Mu stood leisurely on the long stone bridge spanning the river.

Admiring the lush green mountains and fields on both sides of the Bailang River, my listless spirits were instantly relieved.

Every day before going home, he would stand on the bridge for a while to rest and relieve his tension.

"The mountains and rivers are beautiful. If it weren't for the evil spirits causing trouble and the constant man-made disasters, staying in Qingshan County would actually be quite nice."

He most wanted to be the Sword God of Shili Slope, but alas...

Chen Mu turned his head and looked towards the east side of the stone bridge.

The wide road extends out and leads directly to Xiaodongshan.

Xiaodongshan is lush and green, but there is a large, conspicuous yellow patch on the eastern side of the mountain.

That was where the altar was located; the vegetation had been cleared away.

Chen Mu looked at Huang Ban and shook his head: "Unfortunately, Qingshan County has always harbored hidden dangers."

"Let's start preparing supplies tomorrow," Chen Mu thought, patting the stone bridge railing.

Just then, a burly man walked over from a distance.

The other person was carrying a disheveled man with blood-stained sleeves.

Seemingly not expecting anyone to be on the bridge, the burly man paused, then walked onto the bridge as usual.

Chen Mu looked curious, but didn't ask. This world is unsafe; kindness doesn't always guarantee a good outcome.

Judging from the direction these two are heading, they're probably entering the city seeking medical treatment. Are they laborers repairing the altar?
In ancient times, when productivity was low, building large altars by cutting through mountains would inevitably result in heavy casualties.

Noticing the person's gaze, Chen Mu felt pity and nodded in greeting with goodwill.

The man was taken aback, then nodded in response with a wry smile.

"He rolled down the mountain and almost died. I carried him back so he could see his child one last time," the burly man explained with a bitter smile.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat; life is always so fragile: "Please accept my condolences."

The burly man sighed and walked past Chen Mu with his back to him.

Chen Mu watched the two figures as they walked away, shaking his head helplessly.

He wanted to help, but he was powerless to do so.

If you can't even guarantee your own safety and survival, how can you help others?

Chen Mu turned and left.

What he least dared to see were these kinds of helpless and tragic human events.

But after taking two steps, he stopped.

Compared to these lower-level planes, he has cheat codes, he has no worries about food and drink, he can practice martial arts, and recently he even obtained a magical artifact.

He is so incredibly lucky!

"If you didn't see it, that's fine. But since we've run into it, even if I can't be of much help, giving you something is no problem."

"This is not only helping others, but also putting my own mind at ease."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu reached into his sleeve, turned around, and tossed it away.

Woo!
A single iron lotus seed pierced the air, carrying a swirling current, and instantly arrived at the bridgehead.

Clang!
Two short swords, each about the length of a forearm, slashed across the air.

The iron lotus seed was shattered with a single blow, sparks flying everywhere.

what!
Chen Mu withdrew his hand and grinned widely!

Hey!
The burly man slowly lowered his twin knives, revealing a ferocious expression.
