My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 694 Deployment

"I heard that Lord Jiaomu has rebuilt the Heavenly Gate on the eleventh star of Tianzhu and is in dire need of manpower to guard it. No wonder he is recruiting a large number of Taoist soldiers from Qiongzhou and Yingzhou."

"Not only that, I heard that even the main sect of the Thousand Machines Sect has sent quite a few people."

A few days later, in the evening, Chen Mu had just returned to the Jiwei Courtyard in Yangdufang when he saw a large group of people gathered in the courtyard, discussing the matter.

Listening to their words, and recalling the many Taoist soldiers he had seen on Tian Shi Street a few days ago, he couldn't help but pause.

"The Tianzhu Star is under lockdown and requires Dao soldiers to be stationed there. Does that mean we also have to go to the Tianzhu Star Cluster?" one person in the crowd asked worriedly.

"It's probably only a matter of time."

"Isn't this sending us to our deaths? There... there's a plague going around there!" another person complained anxiously.

"Since you dared to send people there, you must have already taken action. Besides, if you dare to break the contract, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"Instead of complaining, we should hurry to Tian Shi Street and stock up on some antidote pills and magical artifacts to prevent the spread of plague and poison, just in case."

"Let's go together..."

Chen Mu frowned as he watched the crowd rush out of the courtyard.

If it's a forced assignment, I'm afraid I'll also be sent to the Tianzhu Star Cluster.

Did they disobey the orders of the Dao soldiers and flee directly?

I'm afraid that won't work.

Chen Mu slowly shook his head.

He wasn't afraid of the contract backlash, but where could he run to?

Jiaomu Xingjun is a spirit of the stars, capable of instantly surveying the entire Tianguan Star. As long as one remains on Tianguan Star, Jiaomu Xingjun will surely find them.

There are many Dao Foundation Elders in Tianguan City, and Lan Xiuzhu, the high-ranking cultivator who oversees the Star Lord Hall, is even a Nascent Soul Divine Lord. Even if he reveals his cultivation level, he probably won't be able to escape the pursuit.

Escape from the celestial stars?

Chen Mu looked up at the azure sky and shook his head again.

The star Tian Guan is shrouded in a layer of spiritual light, which can both emit light to achieve the transition between day and night, and also has the ability to defend against external enemies.

It blocked the invasion of those great celestial demons comparable to primordial spirits and divine lords, and also blocked the invisible gales from outside the stars.

These fierce winds can erode bones and flesh, filling the endless void beyond the celestial stars. Moreover, it is said that the air there is thin, and only those of the Primordial Spirit Divine Lord level can cross it using only the strength of a Qi Refiner.

This is troublesome!

Chen Mu frowned.

……

"Although we haven't received any definite news yet, it's pretty close to the truth."

"The deployment of Taoist soldiers is perfectly normal." Wu Gang waved his hand dismissively in the inner courtyard of the Xin Si Courtyard in Jie Yao Lane.

"Aren't you afraid of the plague?" Chen Mu asked, quite surprised.

Having just experienced the plague incident on Bianshe Star, I'm not worried at all.

Isn't this short, fat guy a little too ambitious?

“We are soldiers of the Dao, we signed the contract, so we probably have to go,” Wu Gang said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"However, the danger on Tianzhu Star shouldn't be too great." He chuckled. "If there are demons or monsters, the soldiers will definitely be the ones to take the lead. We should stay back."

"As for the plague..." Wu Gang leaned closer to Chen Mu and whispered, "I heard that Lord Lü has been missing for many days. He has most likely left Tianzhu Star. Without him to do anything underhanded, we don't need to be afraid of any plague."

Where did Lü Yue go?

It's probably hiding away to extract the essence of the Digestive Emperor.

Chen Mu suddenly understood.

"Besides, if there really is a plague, don't we still have you?" Wu Gang chuckled again.

No wonder this short, fat man is so calm.

So, it was I who gave you the courage?

Chen Mu rolled his eyes in annoyance, waved the person away, and felt a little relieved.

Without the ruthless Lü Yue, the dangers on Tianzhu Star are indeed much less.

"Thinking about it this way, it's not impossible to stay and guard Tianzhu Star."

"Anyway, we can't run away."

……

Having made the decision, Chen Mu began preparations over the next few days.

With the Plague Immortal Technique to remove demonic poison and reduce costs, Rejuvenation Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine become the first choice for strengthening the body and consolidating the foundation, thus eliminating the need to stockpile materials for refining the Nourishing Essence Pill.

After buying two more Seven-Star Jade Purification Bottles to store demonic poison, he exchanged all the remaining Daoist cultivation points for white jade. In this way, he had a total of more than 17,000 pieces of white jade, enough to support the use of the Exquisite Jade Plate for a year.

After that, he continued his work and cultivation routine as usual, while also spending more time grinding for experience with the Plague Immortal Technique.

Lü Yue is only missing, not dead. What if he tries the same trick again? He needs to make plans early.

"What's more, there's also Meng Qingchan, whose whereabouts are currently unknown." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

This person is the creator of the Plague Immortal Banner, and also a master at controlling plague poison.

"We still need to increase the experience of the Plague Immortal Technique to make it safer."

……

Three days later, the entire Tianguan City was like a wound-up machine, starting to run at high speed.

Under the coordination of the Star Lord of Horned Wood, the soldiers stationed in the south of the city were the first to be mobilized.

Immediately afterwards, the Tiangong Workshop also sprang into action, with various auxiliary soldiers receiving appointments every day.

The butchers of Jieyao Alley were no exception; however, two days later, Shinji-in received a notification.

"The ninth star of Tianzhu, the Fire Path Star, we still have to set off tomorrow?"

"What was bound to happen has finally happened."

In the inner courtyard of Xin Si Courtyard, Chen Mu watched Wu Gang walk out of the moon gate. With a thought, he summoned the gray wall.

Plague Immortal Technique: 8975/10000/Fifth Tier;

"Although it's still a bit short of the sixth tier, it should be enough."

"The Jade Cicada's Qi can amplify the power of the Plague Immortal Technique, and it can even deal with the Bewildering Heavenly Demon Poison. It should be no problem with a mere plague poison... right?" Chen Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat uncertain.

Every time he moves to a new environment, he can't help but feel uneasy.

"If only we had another ten days or two weeks, what a pity..."

"Fortunately, I should be safe for the short term," Chen Mu thought to himself, trying to reassure himself.

Five or six days ago, the first batch of soldiers had already arrived at the Tianzhu constellation.

So far, no bad news has come in, which means there is no crisis there for the time being.

Besides, it's impossible for the Thousand Machines Sect to be completely unprepared.

The group heading to the Tianzhu Star Cluster this time includes not only Dao soldiers, but also disciples from the Thousand Machines Sect.

Even if you don't care about the lives of Dao soldiers, you still have to consider the well-being of your own disciples, right?

"It's not too late to grind Plague Immortal Technique experience after we get to Fire Star, it'll only take a few days anyway." With that thought, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The Tianzhu constellation consists of eleven stars, with Huodao Star being the ninth star in the Tianzhu constellation.

The interior of the star is humid and warm, and the towering mountains are covered with vast expanses of lush vegetation.

This was originally a vibrant and bustling star, but Chen Mu's first impression after stepping out of the Heavenly Gate was one of deathly stillness.

The supernatural power of listening naturally manifested, and all kinds of sounds within a radius of thirty miles entered his ears.

The camp of the Dao soldiers was indeed noisy, but it became quieter the further out you went. Apart from a slight breeze, there wasn't even a single insect chirping in the grass.

This oppressive silence sent chills down Chen Mu's spine.

He almost instinctively activated the Plague Immortal Technique to protect himself. After a while, he made sure there was no strange plague poison in the air before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it because of the Yellow Millet Plague?"

"All living things on the entire star have been wiped out by the plague?" He almost instantly realized the reason for this scene.

That Lord Lü is so ruthless!

It should be noted that these stars are not only inhabited by extraterrestrial demons, but also by a considerable number of Thousand Machine Sect Dao soldiers.

Fortunately, I used the Plague Immortal Flag to cure the Yellow Millet Plague, otherwise Bianshe Star would probably be in the same situation.

"There were more than thirty stars that were previously sealed off by Lü Yue, and the beings on those stars..."

Chen Mu shuddered, feeling a chill run through his heart.
