My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 691 Detoxification

More than a month later.

Tianguan City, Tianshi Street, Baiwu Pavilion.

"To hold tiny, intricate living things?"

"Is the guest referring to the plague?" A young waiter in a gray shirt and short jacket leaned closer to Chen Mu and whispered.

Now it was Chen Mu's turn to be surprised.

I only mentioned it briefly and very subtly, yet this guy immediately guessed what I wanted.

This……

"Guest, there's no need to be surprised," the gray-robed youth said with a smile. "You're not the only one who's come looking to buy such magical artifacts lately."

"But what happened?" Chen Mu frowned slightly.

"The starlight at Tianmen is dim, and there are rumors that it is caused by an out-of-control plague."

"Everyone's afraid of affecting Tianguan Star, so..." the waiter shrugged.

Chen Mu nodded thoughtfully.

He thought of Hu Buwei, who had disappeared on Tianmen Star.

Not only was he exempted from receiving a share of the Dao merit, but he was also given a portion of Dao merit back. It seems that something really has happened to Tianmen Star.

Unfortunately, Tianmen Star is currently sealed off, making it impossible to enter or leave, and no one knows the specific situation.

"For storing the plague-inducing magical artifacts, I recommend the Seven-Star Jade Purification Bottle," the gray-robed youth suggested.

"We have seven or eight kinds of antidotes for various plagues."

"Look..."

"Give me a jade bottle and one of each of the antidote pills," Chen Mu said after a moment's thought.

He guessed that these random antidote pills were probably just a way for the Hundred Things Pavilion to exploit the public's panic and earn them white jade and Dao power.

But what if, what if these antidotes really work?

I am not afraid of the Yellow Millet Plague, but the Yellow Millet Plague is not the only plague.

Lu Shenjun has wielded the Plague Immortal Flag for hundreds of years; who knows what kind of plague he has concocted?

"Ninety-six merits and two hundred and forty white jades in return." The gray-clad waiter said with a smile.

Ninety-six skills?

That's really not cheap.

Fortunately, I don't have to share the profits with Hu Buwei now, otherwise I really wouldn't be willing to give up this merit.

……

late at night.

Yangdufang, Jiwei Courtyard.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on one side of the low couch. On the square table in front of him was a porcelain dish containing a piece of snow-white jade snail meat the size of a walnut.

As the divine power of listening was unleashed, a faint, almost imperceptible pulse of life entered his ears.

“The observation is still so blurry, which is not conducive to eradicating the demonic poison.” Chen Mu shook his head.

If you can't even see clearly, how can you be sure that the demonic poison has been completely eradicated?

With a thought, the giant spirit, clad in armor and wearing a helmet, appeared cross-legged opposite him at the square table.

Chen Mu diverted a portion of his mind to the Giant Spirit God, and as naturally as breathing, he began to activate his Listening Divine Power.

The previously vague aura of demonic poison was immediately detected clearly.

Before, it was like looking through frosted glass, indistinct and blurry. Now it's like transparent glass, with everything clearly visible.

"The Thousand Mountains Classic is indeed quite ingenious." Chen Mu couldn't help but curl up his lips.

During these days, while Chen Mu was refining his Dao foundation and practicing the Plague Immortal Technique, he also did not forget to ponder the Giant Spirit God.

He discovered that the giant spirit god, who seemed to be an extension of himself, could actually use the secret technique of Qi cultivation.

In particular, the secret techniques that originated from the Thousand Mountains Scripture were especially smooth to perform, even more effective than those performed by his own body.

"As expected, it is a wonderful method that can injure even a primordial spirit god. Observing from the perspective of the giant spirit god, the demon poison was immediately detected."

Chen Mu chuckled, his magical power surging like the tide.

Within the jade seed, a green light suddenly flickered within the true meaning talisman of the Plague Immortal Dharma, which was shrouded in dark green mist.

An invisible force appeared and enveloped the jade snail meat on the porcelain plate.

The tiny creatures that were originally scattered throughout the snail meat immediately began to slowly swim around.

Just like a school of fish that have sensed the smell of food, they all gravitate towards the Plague Immortal's magical power.

"The Plague Immortal Technique is indeed effective against demonic poison!" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

But he soon realized that he had been too happy.

Most of the demonic poison was indeed approaching the Plague Immortal's magical power, but when it reached the edge of the snail meat, it stopped moving and showed no sign of leaving the jade snail meat.

Even a small portion of the demonic poison wobbled back into the depths of the snail's flesh.

"It's appealing, but it's still lacking something," Chen Mu said thoughtfully.

"Then let's give it another push!" Immediately, a cloud of golden stardust-like Jade Cicada energy surged into the Plague Immortal's magical power.

It was as if some kind of qualitative change had occurred; the demonic poison that had originally returned to the inside of the snail meat suddenly rushed to the edge of the snail meat.

Chen Mu merely probed the flesh with the Plague Immortal Technique's power, and it was as if a wet hand had touched flour, instantly binding all the demonic poison.

He then easily pulled her out and sealed her inside the Seven Star Jade Bottle.

"It's done!" Chen Mu grinned.

The Plague Immortal Technique, which was originally more than halfway to the fifth rank, was still not powerful enough.

However, with the addition of the Jade Cicada's Qi, it was like black gunpowder with white sugar, greatly increasing its effectiveness and immediately becoming effective against the demonic poison.

……

noon.

Jieyao Alley, Xin Si Courtyard.

As usual, Chen Mu finished processing the two jade snails, then lay down in the rocking chair and looked at the two entries on the gray wall in front of him.

Jade Cicada Secret Manual: 4953/10000/Sixth Tier;

Plague Immortal Technique: 5332/10000/Fifth Tier;

Although the Rejuvenating Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine were no longer available, the Qi-Nourishing Pills were still available to replenish the body. Over the past month, the cultivation speed of the Jade Cicada Secret Manual continued to rise steadily.

He spent most of his remaining free time practicing the Plague Immortal Technique, and his experience points increased rapidly.

Now that I'm more than halfway through the fifth stage, I'm still not strong enough to deal with the demonic poison on my own. But with the help of the Jade Cicada's energy, I can already remove the demonic poison.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu's mind sank into the Shadow Eye of Thousand Lantern City.

At this moment, more than a dozen iron cages were hanging under the eaves of the wooden building entrance, inside which more than a dozen venomous scorpions that had eaten snail meat were either living, hibernating, or crawling.

"It seems it really worked." Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Last night, he removed the demonic poison from more than ten pieces of demonic beast meat and then fed them to these venomous dragon scorpions for testing.

The night passed and the Poisonous Dragon Scorpion was completely unharmed, which showed that the Plague Immortal Technique had indeed completely removed the demonic poison from the beast's flesh.

"Just to be on the safe side, we can observe the Poison Dragon Scorpion for a few more days."

"But the idea of ​​purchasing large quantities of monster meat can already be considered."

Chen Mu slightly raised his eyelids and looked at the short, fat Steward Wu who had just entered the courtyard.

"The task of procuring monster meat still needs to be entrusted to this short, fat man."

……

"You want to buy monster meat? Unprocessed monster meat?"

“No problem!” Manager Wu readily agreed.

“But I want a lot,” Chen Mu said with a smile.

"Any amount is fine." Manager Wu waved his hand dismissively, his head down as he intently examined the jade conch shell.

"What if I said I wanted all the monster meat from the entire Xin Si Academy?" Chen Mu said playfully.

All the monster meat obtained from dissecting monsters in the Demon-Dissolving Alley must be sent to the Heavenly Crafting Workshop, as it is an essential ingredient for refining Essence Pills.

If it's a hundred or two pounds less, that's fine, but if it's completely useless, then that's definitely not acceptable.

Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Mu's request, Manager Wu immediately stood up, his fat face full of seriousness.

Seeing the other party's performance, Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He didn't actually need that much monster meat; he just wanted to find an excuse to plant the Nightmare Spell on this guy!

Since he bought large quantities of unprocessed demon beast meat, this short, fat man could definitely guess that he would remove the demon poison.

If this news leaks out, it will definitely cause endless trouble, so we need to take out insurance.

"The Xin Si Academy has forty-nine demon-slaying soldiers who can produce over 1,300 catties of demon beast meat every day. Are you sure you want it all?" Steward Wu looked at Chen Mu solemnly.

“That’s right.” Chen Mu chuckled.

You can't do it, can you? Hurry up and refute me.

In this way, I can then use the Nightmare Spell to force you to submit.

"That's over 1,300 catties of monster meat!" Manager Wu frowned.

"Is it enough?" he asked Chen Mu earnestly.

What do you mean?

Chen Mu was a little confused.

"If that's not enough, I have connections at Dingyou Courtyard and can get you another thousand catties of demon beast meat."

Chen Mu: “…”

No, aren't you going to argue with that?

At least ask me what I do.

With you cooperating like this, how could I possibly cast a Nightmare Spell on you?!
