My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 702 Smuggling
Heavenly Gate Star, Star Lord's Palace.

Lan Xiuzhu stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking up at the stars in the sky, his face still bearing that same gentle smile that he never wavered from year to year.

Light footsteps approached, and a short figure emerged from the depths of the hall.

Lan Xiuzhu turned to look at Meng Qingchan, who looked like a seven or eight-year-old girl, and his smile widened: "Senior Sister is radiant; your cultivation must have advanced even further."

Meng Qingchan's face darkened.

Where is her former heroic spirit now, given her current appearance?
It's all that damned Chen Mu's fault!

"You plotted against Lü Yue, framed the Star Lord, and invited the Netherworld Demons to invade." Meng Qingchan glanced at Lan Xiuzhu: "If the Pure Yang Dao finds out about what you've done, ha!"

"Senior Brother Lü was poisoned by the Plague Immortal Flag. What devoured Hornwood Star Lord was Senior Sister's Green Worm Gu. As for the invasion of the Netherworld Demon Heaven, hehe..." Lan Xiuzhu still smiled.

"If Senior Sister hadn't swallowed the Star Lord of Horned Wood, causing the Star Spirit Light to become ineffective, how could the Underworld Demon Heaven have found an opportunity to invade?"

Meng Qingchan was so angry she laughed.

Without your behind-the-scenes push, none of these things would have come to fruition!

"You don't actually think the Pure Yang Sect will reason with you, do you?" Meng Qingchan sneered.

"They certainly won't reason with us, but what if I can bring enough benefits to the Pure Yang Sect?" Lan Xiuzhu said with a smile.

“What good could the Pure Yang Sect possibly gain from destroying the Zhou Tian Star Array?” Meng Qingchan frowned.

"It's just that those Dao Ancestors felt that the human world was too peaceful," Lan Xiuzhu said with amusement.

Did they feel that the world was at peace, so they allowed demons to invade?

This...this is the true path of Qi Refining?
What they did felt even more sinister than I, this evil heretic!

Moreover, several Dao Ancestors?
Are Tianhe and Luofu Dao also involved?!
Meng Qingchan suddenly felt a tightness all over her body.

"Senior sister wants to know the specific reason?" Lan Xiuzhu asked with a half-smile.

"No, I don't want to at all." Meng Qingchan turned and left decisively.

The puddle that Lan Xiuzhu stirred up was truly murky.

She made up her mind to leave immediately after devouring the Star Lord of Horned Wood.

……

Fire Star.

Chen Mu expanded the narrow underground cave, making it over a hundred square meters in area and more than ten meters high.

The fluorescent algae lamps embedded in the rock walls illuminated the pitch-black cave.

"Zhou Tong's plan to traverse the void is obviously flawed. It would be better for me to activate the Ghost Gate and use the Shrinking Earth Shift technique myself."

Chen Mu sat on a stone platform protruding from the rock wall, using the exquisite jade plate to restore his magical power while pondering how to leave Fire Path Star.

The thousands of ghostly spirits in the Five Ghost Bag had long been taught the secret technique of Crossing the Yellow Springs. Back in the Heavenly River Dharma Realm of Yunzhou, it was only by their combined efforts that they managed to escape through the Gates of Hell.

Now, all I need to do is repeat the same trick, and I can successfully escape Fire Star.

"The huge pile of monster corpses we collected earlier is enough to keep the Gates of Hell running," Chen Mu silently calculated.

Although using this batch of essence might delay my cultivation.

But if you can't even save your own life, then no matter how high your cultivation level is, it's all in vain.

"Fire Star is occupied by demons, it's too dangerous, it's best to leave as soon as possible." He made up his mind.

"As for the landing point of the Gates of Hell..." Chen Mu's heart stirred, and a crimson feather magic sword emerged from his sleeve and flew in front of him.

"Hide a few Crimson Feather Magic Swords into the Heavenly Crafting Camp, and have Zhou Tong and the others take the magic swords to Yangmen Star?"

"Wait until the magic sword arrives, then use it as the landing point to activate the Gates of Hell?"

“Let’s do it!” Chen Mu said with a smile.

Crossing the void with Zhou Tong and the others carries the risk of encountering endless gales, but it would be better to simply let Zhu Yu's magic sword hitch a ride and smuggle it across...

"Toughen up the Zhu Yu Magic Sword, it's really broken. I can practice it again in the gourd sword box later."

Chen Mu held the struggling and trembling Zhu Yu magic sword in front of him, a broad smile on his face.

He flipped his hand to put away the magic sword, then summoned the gray wall and looked at one of the columns.

Nine Cups Arithmetic: 5297/10000/3rd order;

"This arithmetic scripture still needs practice."

With the Connecting Talisman Seed present, he and the Crimson Feather Sword can be connected by their energy. However, if the distance is too great, this connection will become faint.

To make the Gates of Hell a point of reference, the Nine Cups Calculation Manual is needed to assist in the calculation.

Back in the Heavenly River Dharma Realm, it was through divination scriptures that the location of the Gate of Hell was determined.

"The distance between Yangmen Star and Huodao Star is unknown, and there are endless gales in the void that block their way."

"To be on the safe side, it's best to raise the experience level of this arithmetic scripture as much as possible."

"A divination method used for swindling and deception has become the key to my escape time and time again... Tsk tsk, life is unpredictable."

The Nine Cups Calculation Manual came from Shen Yan, the military supervisor of the underworld city of Fengdu. In his lifetime, he used the calculation manual as a weather forecast to fool people, and eventually he even became the national advisor of a small country.

He's quite an extraordinary person.

The accuracy of the calculation was somewhat lacking; in the darkest of times, it even went astray, repeatedly leading itself to dangerous areas inhabited by demons. However, it did successfully calculate the location of its final destination at the Gates of Hell.

"There's something more to this secret technique."

So... it's not that the secret technique is ineffective, it's that I'm ineffective?
"Then let's work hard!"

……

Hidden in a secluded valley.

The soldiers of Huodao City were working feverishly.

As the magical power surged, countless white jade-colored ropes with snake heads and eagle beaks continued to extend and weave, layer upon layer, covering and transforming into an oval shuttle.

Its size is comparable to that of an ocean liner, resembling an elongated giant goose egg.

Then, a light white veil covered the surface, gradually filling in the pits and cracks until the surface became smooth.

Puffs of white smoke rose and enveloped the surroundings, instantly giving the long shuttle an ethereal and otherworldly feel.

In a dark corner, out of sight of everyone, a crimson thread stealthily emerged from the ground.

It moved slowly forward close to the ground, and when it got close to the giant egg-shaped shuttle, it slipped into the shuttle through the corner that was not yet covered by the veil.

And in the instant it disappears.

boom!
The energy surged, carrying with it swirling smoke and dust, and Zhou Tong's figure suddenly appeared.

"Could it be that some kind of demonic creature has infiltrated the valley?" Fei Zhao appeared shortly after.

Zhou Tong shook his head and remained silent, chanting incantations and carefully examining his surroundings. However, after a while, he found nothing unusual.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but when he caught a glimpse of the blood-red sky above, his heart sank again.

Although the Netherworld Demons did not pursue the Dao soldiers extensively, the sky was filled with blood-red light due to the Netherworld Demons' demonic magic.

Even though he had been at the peak of his Dao foundation for many years, he was still somewhat disturbed by the blood-red light.

“Junior brother, the construction of the Five Cloud Shuttle needs to be accelerated. I have a feeling that the blood-red light in the sky is ominous, and if we stay there too long, something bad might happen.” Zhou Tong said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Fei Zhao's expression also turned grave.

During their conversation, the two walked toward Li Jiu, who was directing the soldiers in the distance.

Behind him, the pitted surface of the Five Cloud Shuttle was slowly enveloped by the Five Clouds Silk Gauze, and a sliver of crimson light appeared within the clouds.

It followed a long white jade rope, finding its snake-head and eagle-beak-shaped end. Then it pried open the eagle-beak and expertly slipped inside the rope.

……

"Speed ​​up the process and leave as soon as possible?"

"What a good thing!"

Inside Thousand Lanterns City, Chen Mu was simultaneously cultivating his magical power in reverse to build his foundation, and using the Giant Spirit God in the cave outside as a central point, he was using his Listening Divine Power to monitor the changes in the valley.

"The sooner you leave Fire Star, the sooner I will be safe."

Thinking about Zhou Tong's reaction just now, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh again.

"As expected of the commander of the Heavenly Crafts Camp, he is ruthless, but he does have some tricks up his sleeve."

"He almost discovered the seventh Crimson Feather Magic Sword that I buried inside the Five Cloud Shuttle."

"Ha ha……"
