My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 74 Assistance
Inside Chen Mu's former residence in Taohuafang, Nanyang Prefecture.

Si Kouyu stood beside the wooden bed in the bedroom, holding a hollowed-out bamboo tube about the length of a middle finger.

Inside the bamboo tube lay a small, golden insect, about the size of a soybean.

The insect resembles a cricket, with two antennae on its head that are longer than its body.

At this moment, the insect's antennae extended from its straight shaft and swayed from side to side in front of the bed.

"Are you sure this is Chen Mu's residence?" Si Kouyu frowned slightly as she looked at the listless flying insects. "The scent is too faint."

"It might be because no one has lived here for a long time," Sun Fu said nervously, bowing his head.

squeak...

The little insect, which had been quietly lying inside the bamboo tube, suddenly started chirping.

Its body was small, but its voice was sharp, piercing, and extremely loud.

Si Kouyu's eyes lit up, and he opened his palm to support the bamboo tube.

The small insect spreads its wings and flies, constantly bumping against the walls inside the bamboo tube.

It may seem tiny, but its power is considerable. The bamboo tube spun continuously in Sikou Yu's palm. Finally, it pointed in one direction and remained still, and the little insect also lay down and stopped struggling.

Si Kouyu's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"

The group followed Sikou Yuxing out of the courtyard.

Soon, guided by the insects, they arrived at the outside of a house.

Squeak!
The insect suddenly let out a sharp chirp.

"Could it be that this guy didn't run away and is living nearby?" Sun Fu was overjoyed.

The group barged into the courtyard, pushed open the door, and a musty smell rushed out.

“He used to live here.” Si Kouyu glanced at the house not far away.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows; he's quite clever."

"Keep looking."

The group returned to the street.

Squeak!
Before long, the insects started chirping again.

The group rushed into another courtyard. It was still an abandoned courtyard.

"He really does have three burrows," Sikou Yu said, unperturbed.

So cunning! This person is suspicious! The ebony might really be on him!
"Keep looking!"

Squeak!
Squeak!
squeak...

"How many houses did he rent?" Si Kouyu stood at the street corner, looking back at the route he had taken, completely bewildered.

“This is the seventh one.” Sun Fu was also stunned.

So you've rented out most of the houses on this street!

Not only did they rent them, they also moved in one by one.

are you crazy!

……

Chen Residence, under the pavilion.

Chen Mu closed his eyes slightly and slowly regulated his breathing.

Even with ample rest, his eyelids remained heavy and his head felt dizzy from practicing the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell all day.

Just now, when he was feeling a little drowsy...

A natural breathing rhythm suddenly emerged. It was the Red Falcon Form Training Technique that he had been working on for a year and a half.

The image of the Red Falcon God suddenly appeared in Chen Mu's mind. Chen Mu's agitated mind instantly cleared up.

It's like taking a sip of cool water when your mouth is parched. Or like taking a short nap of half an hour while staying up all night to cultivate immortality.

I felt completely relaxed and comfortable, as if I had been freed from shackles!
"God's will can have this effect?!"

He immediately implemented the modified breathing technique.

Simply by sitting still, one can cultivate in accordance with divine will.

Unlike formal training methods, it is not as explosive, but because of its subtle control, it is even more wondrous.

Focusing on your breathing for just fifteen minutes will clear your drowsy mind!
"What a blunder! I completely forgot about the Red Falcon Formation Technique!"

"Even the simplest physical training technique is still a miraculous method that can change one's physique and cultivate one's spirit!"

With proper breathing techniques and increased proficiency, the speed of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell will increase again.

"They complement each other, adding to each other's strengths."

"We don't have enough fresh fish to catch."

"Can't even the freedom to eat fish be guaranteed?" Chen Mu looked at the Five Ghost Bag with frustration.

"Xiao Wu, why don't you go out into the Luohe River and catch some fish yourself?"

Five Ghost Bags: "..."

……

In the afternoon.

Si Kouyu sat lazily on the sedan chair, carried by two burly men, one in front and one behind.

There were five or six burly men dressed in black short-sleeved shirts standing around him. They were all skilled members of the Jinghong Gang and had been specially assigned to him.

Sun Fu, carrying a bamboo tube and sweating profusely, led the way in front of the sedan chair. They had been searching all day, wandering around aimlessly.

"This guy is a complete lunatic! What is he doing wandering around the city for no reason!" Sun Fu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The insects inside the bamboo tubes can track scents. However, this is not accurate; they will react as soon as the target moves past the track.

This caused them to run from the south of the city to the north, and then from the north to the south.

They visited both markets and both Fanlou restaurants.

They were still going back and forth between more than ten docks in Luohe.

"Sun Fu, it's getting late, I'm going to have some fun on the red boat."

"Keep the Soul-Locking Worm with you, and take two people to go find it."

"Let me know when you find a clue," Si Kouyu said lazily. After searching for a day, even though he desperately wanted the ebony, he had lost patience.

Sun Fu's heart skipped a beat.

That's a ruthless person capable of killing Master Lin Que. You want us to go find him? Without a master like Si Kou Yu to protect us, if we really run into him, we're doomed!
He was about to speak when he looked up and met Sikou Yu's impatient expression. His eyelids twitched involuntarily.

After spending a few days with him, Sun Fu discovered that this man was quite unpredictable.

Two days ago, the cook broke his leg by kicking him because the cook put too much salt in the food.

If I dare to argue back, the consequences will be...

"Young master, please go and have fun. I'll let you know once I find a clue about that person!" Sun Fu said with a smile.

I should have known better than to be greedy for that money.

……

Si Kouyu left in a sedan chair, but Sun Fu and two others stayed behind.

The three of them slowly walked along the street to Shanglinfang.

Suddenly, the golden insect began to chirp, and the bamboo tube pointed straight at a house.

Sun Fu didn't even lift his eyelids, and walked numbly towards the courtyard next to the willow grove.

This wasn't the first time they'd encountered this situation.

"Do you think Chen Mu is a rabbit? Why did he have to dig so many holes for himself?" The burly man to Sun Fu's left was full of resentment.

"I feel like a mouse, cowardly as a mouse!" the man on the right chuckled and teased.

"This house is probably empty too," the man on the left said helplessly.

They'd been wandering around all day and were getting impatient. By now, the group following Si Kouyu must have already boarded the red boat. They wanted to go and enjoy themselves too.

"Alright, once we find the person and get the reward, you can treat the Red Boat as your own home!" Sun Fu scolded with a disgusted expression.

"Tch, whether we can even find him is another story." The burly man on the left glanced at Sun Fu with disdain.

This man was originally under Zuo Sheng's command. Now, he has quietly come to Si Kou Yu's side.

Do not associate with scheming and petty people!

Sun Fu gritted his teeth and stopped talking. To save his life, he no longer cared about the looks of others.

Squeak!
At this moment, the Soul-Locking Insect's voice suddenly became louder.

Sun Fu's heart skipped a beat.

"Could they have actually found it?!"

He quickly took two steps forward, intending to climb the willow tree outside the courtyard to inquire.

But as soon as they reached the willow tree, the Soul-Locking Insect suddenly went silent again.

Not only that, it kept bumping into the bamboo pole, giving it a completely opposite direction.

"Let's go, they're definitely not here," the burly man on the left said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Sun Fu gritted his teeth, grabbed the tree with both hands, and was about to jump up. He was already here, and he was unwilling to give up without taking a look.

The two burly men shrugged.

"Can you smell anything?" The left nostril twitched.

"Stir-fry some scallions." The burly man on the right took a deep breath, his stomach rumbling. "It's lunchtime, let's go eat first?"

"Let's go, let's go." The burly man on the left laughed and agreed, putting his arm around Sun Fu's shoulder and walking away into the distance, ignoring him completely.

Sun Fu raised his hand to stop him, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to lower it; he was hungry too: "Damn the smell of scallions!"

Looking up at the tree he'd only climbed halfway up, he thought, "Forget it, what's the point of all this fuss?"

He immediately jumped down from the willow tree and followed the two people in the distance with a dejected look on his face.

……

Black smoke filled the pavilion.

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

"Did someone call my name?"

"It's probably just my imagination."

"This Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse is really hard to grind."

"Even with the Body Refining Technique to restore energy, it's still so mentally taxing; I'm even experiencing auditory hallucinations." Chen Mu shook his head and sighed.

Close your eyes and continue chanting the mantra.
