My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 626 Taiyi

evening.

A huge white, mysterious ship emerged from the water, and through the dim light of the day, the riverbank could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Chen Mu followed Lu Han and the others off the White Ghost Ship and boarded a three-story wooden ship. After sailing for another half an hour, they slowly docked.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Chen Mu took the amber-colored Spirit-Seeking Pearl from Jiao Shi's body, crushed it into powder, and scattered it into the Tongtian River.

Chen Mu felt a slight sense of relief as he watched the yellowish-white powder disappear with the river water.

"As long as the Dragon Ball's spiritual energy is completely melted down, the hidden danger can be completely eliminated."

As he followed the crowd toward the nearby town on the shore, he pulled out a strand of innate energy from the jade seed and transferred it into the secret acupoint between his eyebrows.

Originally, seeing Xianqi was like seeing catnip, a strange and unpredictable encounter, but now he was avoiding it from afar.

"eat!"

"Eat quickly!"

"If you don't get enough to eat, we're both doomed!"

Chen Mu ignored this and forcefully controlled Yin Cuoyangcha, as if choking a duck and force-feeding it with his innate energy.

Ever since he learned that Jiao Shi was able to find the Dragon Balls because the Dragon Balls' spirits had not fully fused, he became ruthless.

For the past three days, Chen Mu had cultivated thirty-six innate qi techniques, feeding them all to Yin Cuoyangcha. All this was to refine the Dragon Pearl's spiritual energy as soon as possible, completely eliminating any possibility of being discovered.

"If the thirty-six innate qi techniques don't work, then use the seventy-two."

"If seventy-two isn't enough, then three thousand six hundred!"

"I refuse to believe I can't handle a little bit of cleverness!"

By a twist of fate: "..."

You're probably trying to stuff me to death!

……

The following day, 500 li east of the Heavenly River Water Palace on the day of Dingyou.

On the seabed, a cylindrical submarine, tens of meters long, broke through the current and arrived in an instant.

Immediately, a strange force emanated from inside the submarine.

hum!

White steam billowed, displacing the heavy river water like an overturned bowl, and a hemispherical, waterless space tens of meters in diameter suddenly appeared on the riverbed.

More than a dozen water warriors clad in black armor broke through the water and entered the waterless space. They then scattered in all directions, examining the palm-sized oval jade discs in their hands while stirring up the silt at the bottom of the river to search for clues.

Before long, a black-armored warrior pulled a jade buckle the size of a walnut from the mud.

"Found it!" he shouted immediately.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound in the air, a thin young man with a sallow complexion, dressed in a black shirt with gold thread, suddenly appeared.

More than ten strongmen immediately bowed and clasped their hands in greeting.

"Master."

Jiao Yufei waved his hand expressionlessly, then raised his hand to take the jade talisman shaped like a jade buckle, and lightly tapped it with his index finger.

bang bang bang...

Large and small wooden boxes and jade boxes suddenly burst out, floating in mid-air and scattering everywhere.

Jiao Yufei stared at the numerous items, examining them one by one, but his expression grew increasingly grim.

"To throw it away without taking a single penny? That's quite cautious and decisive."

"It's troublesome..."

The leading black-armored warrior hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Lord, should we explore in the current direction?"

"About three or four hundred li away, there's a place to land. The person who ambushed Young Master Jiao probably landed there."

"It's no use." Jiao Yufei waved his hand: "They won't take a single penny, and they even brought the mustard seed jade talisman all this way just to confuse people."

“Even if he did land at the ferry crossing 300 miles away, he wouldn’t find anything there.”

"We've done our best to catch them this far. As for the rest..." Jiao Yufei shook his head slightly, his expression calm.

Jiao Shi secretly infiltrated the Water Mansion to cause trouble, but ended up turning himself into a living dead, forcing him to interrupt his cultivation to investigate personally.

He felt he had already done more than enough by finding out that the other party had lost the jade pendant; as for further investigation…

"Let's wait until the people from the Renxu Heavenly River Water Palace arrive. They might have other tracking methods."

……

Four hundred li south of the Heavenly River Water Palace in the year of Dingyou.

In a range of low, rolling green hills, more than a dozen seven-star centipedes, each over fifty meters long, were crawling rapidly with a soft, rustling sound.

The centipede's back was tied with various special wooden frames, some piled with live animals, and others with people sitting on them.

On the back of a centipede, Chen Mu sat with his eyes closed in a chair on the edge.

It has now been five days since Chen Mu left Tongtian River.

At this moment, his body swayed slightly with the movements of the Seven-Star Centipede, as if he were asleep, but in reality, his mind was completely immersed in the jade seed. A silver, smoke-like magic rune continuously expanded and contracted within the jade seed, like a living cloud.

"I hope this Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique is really useful."

To avoid being tracked, Jiao Shi did not take any of the various white jade treasures on his body, and even used the Zhu Yu magic sword to send the mustard seed jade talisman hundreds of miles away.

However, he did browse through all the secret techniques and jade tablets treasured inside the jade talisman.

The Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique he is currently practicing is a secret manual he specially copied.

"According to the secret method, the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique can temper the inherent qualities of demons and monsters, turning them into magical treasures. This can be used to assist in the fusion of Yin Cuo Yang Cha and the Dragon Pearl Spirit."

"This secret technique was probably prepared by that person specifically for the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine. Tsk, the plan was really thorough."

"What a pity, now they've all benefited me."

He took a deep breath, channeled his magic power, and instantly, wisps of lightning lit up within the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique talisman.

Within the secret passage between the eyebrows, a strange force emerged, resembling a large, transparent mass of water, instantly enveloping Yin Cuoyangcha within it.

Originally flitting about like a nimble bee, it suddenly became as if it had drunk alcohol, listlessly motionless.

Strands of black energy, as thin as hair, emanated from both, only to be instantly corroded and dissipated by an invisible force. Wisps of golden patterns appeared on the jet-black moon blade and the pale white bone sphere.

In just a short while, Chen Mu discovered that his connection with the twists and turns of fate was becoming increasingly close.

"There is a door!"

Chen Mu was overjoyed.

The fact that this Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique was specially prepared by that person to refine the Dragon Pearl's spiritual energy shows that it is indeed extraordinary!

……

Seven days later, in the Dingyou year, the Heavenly River Water Palace.

In the center of the Shuifu Taoist temple, a middle-aged man in his forties stood in the middle of a square altar.

An amber-colored bead floated not far in front of him.

The middle-aged man raised his right index and middle fingers together in front of his chest, accompanied by an awkward incantation. Strands of magical power transformed into golden threads, which merged into the amber-colored bead.

He chanted the mantra for half an hour.

hum!

The amber-colored bead vibrated, and a golden star appeared inside the bead.

"Found it?" Jiao Yufei's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Found it!" A ruthless glint flashed across the middle-aged man's face.

"Could it be that person threw away the Dragon Ball artifact, misleading us?"

"will not."

"When the Dragon Ball Spirit and the embryonic body are slightly fused together, they become a magical artifact. It not only has the ability to protect the body, but can also generate profound yin energy to nourish the Heavenly Demon's body."

“My son Jiao Shi has never lacked precious materials for cultivation since he was a child, yet he couldn’t resist this temptation and secretly came to seek spiritual opportunities. I don’t believe that person has the courage to throw them away.” The middle-aged man’s face was gloomy.

Jiao Yufei remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

"What, you don't believe me?" The middle-aged man's eyes darted around, glancing sideways at Jiao Yufei.

"All I know is that Jiao Shilai made thorough preparations for this attempt to obtain the Dragon Pearl. He even prepared two kinds of top-grade demonic embryos within his mustard seed jade talisman," Jiao Yufei said calmly.

"What do you mean..." The middle-aged man frowned.

It means that not everyone is as blinded by greed as your son, Jiao Shi!

Jiao Yufei's mind raced, but his expression remained calm: "If that person can give up that mustard seed jade talisman full of precious materials, he might also be willing to give up the Dragon Pearl's spiritual power."

"What if he can't bear to part with it!" The middle-aged man's face darkened.

“That means he probably has a way to make it impossible for you to track him,” Jiao Yufei replied calmly.

"Him? Some nobody who popped out of nowhere?" the middle-aged man said sarcastically.

"It was that rogue cultivator who turned Jiao Shi into a living dead."

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he was about to speak in rebuttal.

Boo!

Like a bubble bursting, a soft sound reached their ears.

The sound was faint, but to a middle-aged man it was like a thunderclap.

He turned his head sharply and discovered that, without him noticing, the amber-colored bead was now covered in cracks. The golden starlight that had just clearly indicated the location of the spiritual energy was gone!

"It's you!" The middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and stared at Jiao Yufei.

"This is the Dingyou Water Palace. You'd better think carefully before you lose your temper," Jiao Yufei replied calmly.

"Furthermore, you don't seem to know your son very well."

"Jiao Shi's mustard seed jade talisman contains more than one scripture for refining the root weapons of demons."

"Do you not know, or do you arrogantly believe that the person who made Jiao Shi stumble wasn't talented enough to learn in a short time?"

The middle-aged man's face immediately turned ashen!
