My experience of grinding in another world

a few days later.

Underground secret room.

A blank jade slip was placed on a low table in front of Chen Mu.

There is a porcelain dish in the upper right corner, filled with thick, golden ink.

This ink can etch jade plates, penetrating three-tenths of the jade's surface.

The text written with this ink will remain clear and intact even a hundred years later.

"Let's do it!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu unfolded the Yellow Springs General Outline.

Mana surged into the jade slip, and mana churned in the mind, causing a net-like spherical mantra to condense and appear.

Chen Mu dared not slack off in the slightest. While trying his best to maintain the talisman, he continuously enlarged and rotated it, examining it carefully inside and out.

A quarter of an hour later, the talisman suddenly trembled and dispersed into a cloud of smoke once more.

Chen Mu quickly picked up a brush, filled it with golden ink, and with swift strokes, wrote a series of strange symbols connected by star-like threads on the blank jade slip.

With a slight hissing sound, the golden script quickly seeped into the jade plate.

Chen Mu examined it carefully for a moment, and then felt relieved.

"It's done!"

Using the Jie script to record the general outline of the Yellow Springs is a correct and successful approach.

After confirming that everything was correct, Chen Mu put down his brush and took out the exquisite jade plate to restore his magical power.

He copied the script, restored his magical power, and then copied it again. Chen Mu repeated this process for an entire day.

Even late into the night, he only managed to record nine jade tablets.

Most of the time was spent restoring mana.

"This is just copying the secret method; who knows how much magical power will be needed for later cultivation?" Chen Mu's scalp tingled.

Are all Qi Condensation Techniques like this? Or did the Sun family, being so wealthy, specifically choose this Gold-Swallowing Technique?

……

For the next few days, Chen Mu devoted himself to recording the Yellow Springs General Outline.

Seven days later, in the underground chamber.

Looking at the jade slips covered with golden inscriptions on the low table, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"With this backup, there's no need to worry about the Yellow Springs General Outline becoming invalid."

He held the jade slip and read it from beginning to end.

After copying it once, Chen Mu discovered that the talismans of the Yellow Spring Divine Aperture were not sixty-three, but nine.

There are sixty-three jade tablets used to record magical symbols. Seven of them are grouped together, and only when the contents of each group are combined can a complete magical symbol be formed.

goo goo...

A thunderous rumbling sound in his stomach interrupted Chen Mu's thoughts.

Coming to his senses, he stopped thinking about it.

"After a month of living in fear, I should treat myself well."

He immediately scrambled up the bamboo house, grabbed the large wok of clams, and started stir-frying them with a clattering sound.

……

Two days later, in the evening.

Chen Mu was lying comfortably in a rocking chair watching the sunset when he looked up and saw Bai Xiuwen walking towards him with a ruddy complexion.

"Why did you come here today?" Normally, Bai Xiuwen should have come here tomorrow.

"I just got a batch of fresh mushrooms and wanted to share them with my senior brother," Bai Xiuwen said cheerfully, holding up the bamboo basket in his hand.

Chen Mu glanced at the colorful items in the bamboo basket, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

You're probably trying to poison me!
“The Misty Mountain is full of poisonous smoke and miasma. Can you really eat these mushrooms?!” He stared at Bai Xiuwen.

“Senior brother, you may not know this,” Bai Xiuwen said with great interest. “This is a specialty of Misty Mountain. It is exceptionally delicious and can make you feel like you’re floating on air after eating it.”

Then, with a mysterious look on his face, he said, "I've heard that some people have used this to enter a state of oneness with heaven and man and have seen those legendary Taoist immortals."

"That is a great venerable being who is immortal and lives as long as the heavens!"

"If I could watch it a few more times, I might even discover some great secret technique."

Feeling like you're floating on air?

True Immortal of the Daoist Sect?

Is this some kind of hallucination caused by being poisoned by mushrooms?
"Senior brother, want to try some?" Bai Xiuwen winked.

"You should take it back and enjoy it yourself!" I want to live a couple more days.

"Don't worry, senior brother. This mushroom is not only healthy, it can also help people expel toxins from their bodies." Bai Xiuwen strongly recommended: "After eating it, you will detoxify, beautify your skin, and feel relaxed in body and mind."

"roll!"

It also removes impurities.

It's just diarrhea, isn't it?!

Fortunately, the people on Misty Mountain are incredibly strong, otherwise, who knows how many people would be buried in the ground.

...As night fell, the long corridor outside the bamboo building came into view.

Insect-repelling incense smoke curls from the eaves, while fluorescent algae lamps illuminate the square table beneath.

A large table was laden with four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, with a basket of exotic animal meat-flavored Lao Qi Family Pies placed next to it.

Chen Mu swallowed a pie in one gulp, chewing it a few times before swallowing it whole.

After eating half a basket of pies, Chen Mu finally slowed down his eating pace.

Although he has only just begun to grasp the secrets of condensing the orifices, changes are already taking place, just like his appetite, which is growing larger and larger.

"What is it? Speak up," Chen Mu said, looking at Bai Xiuwen across from him, who seemed hesitant to speak but was filled with excitement.

"Hehe, senior brother, please take a look." Bai Xiuwen couldn't hold back any longer and handed Chen Mu a pill that was a mixture of black and white.

"A fasting pill?" Chen Mu suddenly realized, and immediately laughed and teased, "Congratulations, from now on I should call you Master Bai. Haha..."

"It's still early, it's still early." Bai Xiuwen, a mature and steady man in his forties, smiled so much that his eyes almost disappeared.

After a while, he composed himself and said with a sigh.

"I have followed several alchemists, but only you have given me guidance without reservation."

"It's just an equivalent exchange," Chen Mu waved his hand dismissively.

"So you've come to say goodbye?" Chen Mu suddenly realized.

Bai Xiuwen has successfully refined the Bigu Pill, but he can only change his identity as a pill master after returning to Yuquan Mountain.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I've already placed the order for you. After I leave, disciples from the lower courtyard will regularly deliver meat and vegetables to you," Bai Xiuwen said.

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction: "That's thoughtful of you."

"There's one more thing, Senior Brother, you should pay attention to," Bai Xiuwen suddenly said.

"Do you still remember that small discussion meeting with Vice Chief of Staff Sun?"

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Recently, someone from the inspection team questioned the participants.”

"It is said to be related to the disappearance of Vice Commander Sun."

"If we do find you, please don't hide anything."

Don't hide it?
If we don't hide it, we're really doomed!

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat; Sun Wuhuan's matter was not over yet!
Bai Xiuwen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "Senior brother should make some preparations in advance."

What do you mean?
Did Bai Xiuwen figure something out?!

Chen Mu immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Prepare the white jade coins." Bai Xiuwen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If even experts at the Qi Condensation Realm can't find any clues, what can the Inspection Bureau possibly do?"

"This investigation is nothing more than an excuse to extort money."

Is this really a scheme to make money?

It's the Sun family who are unwilling to accept this!
"Hey! Looks like I'll have to pay to avoid disaster." Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, but he couldn't help feeling nervous inside.

We must accelerate the practice of the secret method of condensing the aperture.

Every bit of strength gained gives us more options for dealing with situations.

……

The next day, Chen Mu began his secluded cultivation to condense his internal energy.

Five days later, early morning.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the soft couch in the secret room.

He held the jade slip containing the general outline of the Yellow Springs in his arms.

At one moment, he felt a slight twitch between his brows and slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally I've gotten started."

Inside the jade seed, next to the jet-black spherical elemental talisman, a silver-white spherical magic talisman appeared.

It's like two sesame seeds, one black and one white, growing together.

Chen Mu brought up the gray wall and indeed found a brand new entry.

Yellow Springs General Outline: 5/10000/First Order;
He looked down at the jade slip in his hand. The jade tablet that recorded the first magic talisman had completely lost its silver threads and starlight.

"Thankfully, I had already recorded it in Jiewen." Chen Mu took out the Jiewen version of the Yellow Springs General Outline, his face full of relief.

Without this backup, he wouldn't have anything to practice on.

Just as he was about to continue, the five ghostly spirits guarding the bamboo house sent a message that a stranger was approaching.

……

On the long corridor outside the bamboo building, Chen Mu looked curiously at the young man below the steps.

"My name is Sun Chengye. Am I the alchemist Chen in person?" Sun Chengye cupped his hands in a fist salute, his face full of smiles.

Sun?!

Chen Mu's heart tightened, and he immediately narrowed his eyes.
