My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 596 Carrying the Mountain
buzzing...

Accompanied by a series of tremors, flashes of lightning occasionally appeared inside and outside the water-avoiding shuttle.

puff!
An invisible force erupted from around the water-repelling shuttle, causing the surrounding silt to churn.

The water-avoiding shuttle wobbled and detached from the riverbed, gliding diagonally upwards.

But before long, the Water-Avoiding Shuttle's strength began to wane.

After stumbling and bumping forward several times, the water-avoiding shuttle plunged into the silt of the riverbed with a loud thud.

Inside the Water-Avoiding Shuttle practice area, not far from the secret room.

Lei Hong righted the tent that had just been knocked down, and while skillfully rebuilding it, he sighed in disappointment: "Failed again."

To repair the water-avoiding shuttle, ninety percent of the pavilions were demolished. All the Qi cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, lived in tents.

"This time I lasted ninety more breaths than last time." Lei Cheng, whose injuries had mostly healed, helped out while carefully comparing the results.

"It went soft in less than a quarter of an hour, what good is that?" Lei Hong curled his lip dismissively: "It's not even hot enough to eat shit."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an arc of electricity suddenly shot up from the ground beneath his feet, striking Lei Hong squarely between the eyebrows.

Lei Hong's hair stood on end, and he froze on the spot, stunned by the electric shock.

Lei Cheng stepped forward and looked at Lei Hong, whose body was flashing with tiny lightning bolts from time to time. He couldn't help but comfort him, "Without the Kui Niu Drum to assist him, it's inevitable that the lightning magic will go out of control."

fart!

Over the past month, the water-repelling shuttle has been tested more than ten times. How come everyone else is fine, but I was the only one struck by lightning?
It must be that Gongsun Sheng is angry that I called him weak, he's clearly retaliating against us!
Lei Hong's eyes widened in surprise.

Then he heard Lei Cheng ask seriously, "What did you say 'soft' just now? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you say it again?"

Lei Hong: "..."

I think you want me dead!

Are you really my second brother?
That honest and simple face of yours is all a lie!

……

"What a pity..."

Inside the secret room, Chen Mu felt quite regretful.

Why did this short, fat guy shut up? Otherwise, I could have given him a shock.

With a slight twitch of the ears, all the sounds coming from inside the water-avoiding shuttle reached the ears.

Although many people inside the shuttle complained, they mostly accepted the failure of the water-repelling shuttle test with relative composure.

After all... I've failed more than ten times already, and I've gotten used to it even if I'm not completely at ease with it.

With a slight thought, the gray wall appeared before my eyes.

Five Thunder Treasure Scroll: 573/10000/Tier 4;

Weapon crafting skill (water-repelling shuttle construction): 7933/10000;

For the past month or so, Chen Mu has spent almost all his time farming Five Thunder Treasure Scrolls.

When I'm tired, I study "The Complete Book of Water-Avoiding Shuttle Construction Methods" for a while; when I'm hungry, I take two fasting pills.

With tireless practice day and night, and aided by the perfected Kui Water Yin Thunder, his proficiency with the Five Thunder Treasure Scroll skyrocketed. In just over a month, he skipped two stages.

The control of thunder magic is so precise that it can now even circulate in the capillaries of the internal organs.

It was this subtle control, coupled with increasingly sophisticated crafting techniques for creating and refining the Water-Avoiding Shuttle, that allowed Lei Fa to penetrate the interior of the Water-Avoiding Shuttle, trigger various magical restrictions, and successfully control the Water-Avoiding Shuttle.

"It's a pity it can't last." Chen Mu rubbed his throbbing forehead with regret.

The plan to replace the human-shaped Kui Niu drum was successful, but not entirely successful.

The water-avoiding shuttle was too large for one person to handle.

If the manipulation time is extended even slightly, he will experience mental exhaustion and severe headaches.

Continue to refine the Five Thunder Treasure Scroll and the Water-Avoiding Shuttle crafting and weapon-making techniques?

Chen Mu shook his head.

It has some effect, but it won't be very significant.

It would only extend the journey by a quarter of an hour or so, without any significant improvement, making it impossible to control the water-avoiding shuttle to navigate normally.

"This kind of large magical artifact was not intended to be operated by one person from the beginning of its construction, otherwise there would be no Kui Niu Drum as an amplification artifact."

"In the end, it's still a matter of insufficient divine essence and inadequate cultivation." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

He couldn't help but look inward at the jade seed and then at the divine aperture.

"If I can complete the purification of the divine aperture, I might be able to hold on."

"Unfortunately... it's a case of too much water to quench an immediate thirst."

Over the past few days, the Dark Cloud True Law has been operating autonomously and has completed three rounds of purification.

If you do it one more time, you can complete the five transformations of the Divine Aperture.

However, it will still take quite some time before he can master the "river cart" technique.

Thinking this, Chen Mu skillfully condensed the Dark Cloud Talisman and replenished it into his divine aperture. Then he took out the Five Ghosts Bag, preparing to fully replenish the Dark Cloud Talisman with primordial energy.

But when Chen Mu saw the primordial energy emerging from the bag, he suddenly froze on the spot.

"Since one person's spiritual energy cannot withstand the pressure of the water-repelling shuttle, why not let hundreds or thousands of people share the burden?"

The gray wall appeared before his eyes. Chen Mu skipped over several secret techniques and went straight down to examine it.

A secret technique that had not been used for a long time came into view.

"Carrying the Mountain Sutra!"

"It's you!"

Chen Mu, who had been worried for many days, finally smiled.

……

A few days later.

At the tail end of the water-avoiding shuttle. Not far from the General Affairs Bureau's beast decomposition field, there is a small courtyard. A small, two-story pavilion stands alone in the courtyard.

Aside from the dojo's secret chamber, this small building is one of the few remaining structures.

Lei Hong and Lei Cheng, both wearing hooded cloaks, quietly pushed open the door and entered.

The room was completely empty except for a deep well covered by a chain net, which sat in the middle of the house.

Lei Cheng stepped forward, chanted an incantation, and untied the iron net.

Lei Hong, standing nearby, took out a mustard seed talisman, retrieved a box of white jade coins, and poured them all into the deep well.

"Is this damn Taoist priest any good? If he keeps messing around like this, there won't be a single white jade coin left in the inner treasury!" Lei Hong gritted his teeth, looking at the white jade disappearing into the bottom of the well, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"Speaking so boldly, aren't you afraid of getting electrocuted?" Lei Cheng glanced sideways.

Is your own brother really that brave?
“What’s there to be afraid of? He spent so much of my white jade. What’s wrong with me saying a few words to him?” Lei Hong snorted defiantly. “Besides, this is the stern of the ship. He can’t hear us from that far away.”

The voice just fell.

Boom boom boom...

A series of muffled claps suddenly exploded in my ears, and lightning flashed in the courtyard outside the door.

Lei Hong froze instantly, too frightened to move.

Is this Taoist priest dog's hearing that sharp?
How could you hear it from that far away?
After a while, Lei Hong came to his senses and cautiously walked out of the room.

Then you see seven or eight burly men in gray short-sleeved shirts lying around the yard with crooked mouths and slanted eyes.

“These people…” Lei Hong’s expression changed.

"It seems someone has their eye on the white jade coins you have," Lei Cheng said calmly.

"They even dare to rob me?" Lei Hong had to admire the audacity of these people.

"They don't know I'm with you." Lei Cheng said dismissively.

Chen Mu impersonated Lei Cheng, so the real Lei Cheng naturally had to hide his identity.

These robbers, blinded by greed, thought Lei Hong was easy to deal with since he only had one follower with him, which is why they dared to show themselves.

“With repeated failed voyages, morale is low. If this drags on any longer, I fear there will be major chaos,” Lei Hong said with a worried expression.

At this moment, seven or eight plumes of black smoke appeared out of thin air and slammed into the seven or eight burly men who had fallen to the ground.

After a short, painful scream, the black smoke and the seven or eight burly men all disappeared.

"See, it won't turn into chaos." Lei Cheng pointed calmly at the ground where only charred human figures remained.

If he could kill Huang Jian with a single finger, he could also kill himself with a single finger.

That mysterious Taoist priest named Gongsun Sheng must be a level higher than me in terms of cultivation.

With the opponent's secret technique that allows them to monitor the entire water-avoiding shuttle, no one can afford to cause trouble.

Lei Hong looked astonished, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Thankfully, I only complained slightly beforehand and didn't say anything too harsh.

otherwise……

Looking at the charred marks on the ground, he couldn't help but shudder.

hum!
A familiar buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

The Kui Niu Drum, which had disappeared for a long time, reappeared in mid-air above the Water-Avoiding Shuttle, carried by billowing black smoke.

The next moment, with a series of soft humming sounds, the water-avoiding shuttle quickly detached from the Tongtian River and moved forward steadily.

"This is... done?" Lei Hong looked at his second brother in disbelief.

Lei Cheng carefully examined the water-repelling shuttle's condition, and after a while, he nodded seriously: "It's definitely working."

That's the method...

Isn't that a bit too eerie?

He stared silently at the Kui Niu Drum, billowing black smoke in mid-air and exuding an eerie aura.

This reminded him of the black smoke that had just engulfed those burly men.

Thunder magic, a secret technique for detecting things like having super hearing, plus this sinister black smoke technique.

The methods employed by this Mr. Gongsun are chilling to behold.

……

Inside the secret chamber of the temple.

Chen Mu exclaimed with delight, "We've chosen the right path for carrying the mountain scriptures!"

This secret technique comes from the underworld and was compiled in imitation of the Soul-Summoning Banner. It is a wonderful method that can gather the power of many spirits.

Yin spirits are essentially yin ghosts and monsters. Since they can gather the power of yin spirits, they can naturally also connect yin ghosts and monsters into one.

Chen Mu's Five Ghosts Bag contained exactly three or four thousand Yin Ghosts.

"Leave half in the bag to generate primordial energy, and release the other half to activate the Mountain-Carrying Scripture. It's the best of both worlds!" Chen Mu thought happily.

After piloting the water-avoiding shuttle for a while and testing each of its magical restrictions, he was able to fully control it and finally felt completely relaxed.

"The water-avoiding shuttle is back to normal; we need to find a way to rejoin the Goose and Sheep Road fleet."

Although Chen Mu wasn't completely clueless about how to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he was still completely in the dark.

The Goose and Sheep Path is different; the entire sect has been preparing for it for many years, so the plan must be very detailed.

"I just hope the fleet isn't damaged too badly," he thought anxiously.

The monster with the big eyes I encountered last time still hasn't been fully revealed, and I still feel lingering fear whenever I think about it.

"Dao Master Qiu Jinwu has been at the Dao Foundation Perfection stage for many years, and his strength is enough to rank among the top three in Yunzhou."

"Given his abilities, he should... well, most likely, be able to protect the core of the fleet from falling apart, right?"

Recalling the scene where he was stunned by the aura of the big eyes, Chen Mu suddenly felt a little insecure.
