At the gate of the Inspectorate.
Although it is not as popular as before, there are still many people queuing up to wait for the test.
Only those who pass the secret arts training can enter the Inspection Institute.
There were still many people gathered under the shade of a tree not far away.
As soon as Chen Mu came closer, he heard a short and thin man sigh and say: "I don't know if I can pass."
"I heard that there has been a lot of damage to the Inspection Institute recently and there is a shortage of manpower. The possibility of passing should be high." A fat bald man next to him said with a hopeful look on his face.
"I practice Xubujutsu, so I can only run fast. It's hard to say." The short man shook his head.
"If you run really fast, it will be easier to pass." An old man in his fifties said.
"People with fast feet are indispensable for exploring routes, communicating messages, and transporting supplies."
The thin man was immediately overjoyed.
"Don't be too happy too early." The old man continued: "It's okay to send messages and transport supplies. The risk of exploring the road is not as high as usual."
"Because you may be the first to encounter strange beasts."
"If you are not careful, you may die or be injured."
The thin man did not take it seriously: "There is danger everywhere, and it is not safe to stay in the lower courtyard."
"Not only were people in the Yaotian District devoured by strange beasts, but people were also attacked and killed on the edge of the lower courtyard."
"Instead of waiting to die, it's better to join the Inspection Institute and have a try!"
Everyone under the shade couldn't help but nod.
So brave? Chen Mu quietly retreated and left.
Most of these people have perfect jade skills and have practiced one or two secret techniques.
If you encounter a monster snake with white scales and its tail whips out, no one will survive!
Cannon fodder...
…
Three days later.
Zhichuan, Yupinxuan.
Chen Mu carried a large cloth package with a disguised face and sold the Dingshen Pills as usual, but did not leave in a hurry.
The fair-faced middle-aged man looked at Chen Mu in surprise.
In the past three months, Chen Mu always sold the Dingshen Pills and left immediately.
What happened this time...
The white-faced middle-aged man asked curiously: "What else does the guest need?"
"Boss Le, I have an exotic animal skin that I want to deal with." Chen Mu put the huge package on the counter and pushed it to the other party.
"Floor floor?" Le Yangan, the white-faced boss, raised his eyebrows: "It's quite complete."
"Is the tongue still there?" Le Yangan asked.
Tongue? Is that thing worth anything?
"It's gone." The ghosts of the five ghosts were all eaten.
"It's a pity." Le Yangan said regretfully: "The tongue of the earth can detect the vitality of the earth spirit."
"It can be made into a magic weapon to detect earth veins."
"It is the most expensive thing on the ground."
Chen Mu suddenly felt his heart tightening.
What a loss!
"This leather is complete, and there is a high probability that it can be used as a five-poison evil spirit flag. Hmm... I can give you sixty white jade." Leyang An said.
"Okay." Chen Mu nodded.
He didn't know the price of exotic beast materials, but he didn't care much about the price. He just wanted to deal with it secretly as soon as possible.
"Shop Manager Le, do you know anything that can isolate the energy of the earth spirit?" Chen Mu asked.
"That depends on where you use it." Le Yangan said with a smile.
"If you want to use it in the medicinal field, then forget it."
"The scope is so large and the cost is too high. It's not worth it."
Really? Chen Mu felt happy: "What if it is a small area of isolation?"
"The Yin Sha Qi Forbidden Talisman, the Qi Gathering Flag, and the Seven-Section Insect Swarm are all fine," Le Yangan thought for a while.
"And these are all things you can find in the lower yard of Jilong Road. Of course, they are not cheap."
Chen Mu was confused. Is there one in the House of Commons? But he never heard of it!
And even if there is a chicken coop, it is not something that he, the subordinate dean, can access.
"Is there a more common method?" Chen Mu was unwilling to give in.
"The simplest thing is to seal the stone and pile up the earth. But you can't put the medicine field in the middle of the mountain, right?"
"Hmm... maybe it can be used if there are some medicinal herbs that are adapted to dark environments."
Chen Mu's eyes lit up.
Dig a hole? I'm good at this!
Immediately, he couldn't help but frown, pointing to the ground and wondering: "But this thing came out of the ground."
"Stones and mud can't completely stop the spread of earth spirit energy, right?"
"I also said it, the simplest..." Le Yangan shrugged.
Chen Mu nodded helplessly.
The local methods work, but they are not that effective.
"Although Diji is good at walking underground, he can also come up to look for food and get some air." Le Yangan said with a smile.
"The lower courtyard of Jilong Road is filled with earth spirit vitality, especially in the medicine field area, the concentration is higher. It is not surprising to be noticed by it."
…
Low mountain courtyard, twenty meters underground.
Chen Mu stood in an underground secret room with a length, width and height of five meters each.
The top of the head, the feet below, and the surrounding walls are all made of one meter thick rectangular stones.
Even the three passages leading to the ground are stone pipes hollowed out and spliced together from huge boulders.
This is the underground secret room he dug out by relying on the movement of the Five Ghosts.
"This can only be the case for the time being."
Chen Mu followed one of the passages and quickly jumped to the ground.
Under the wooden shed.
Chen Mu carried a half-meter-thick square stone slab into the entrance and placed a rocking chair on it.
Stretch out, lie on it comfortably, hold a cup of herbal tea in your hand, and let your thoughts wander.
"The Yin Sha Qi Forbidden Talisman is probably also in the hands of the Song Supervisory Academy."
"Forget it, the aura has not been mastered yet, so even if there is a magic talisman and jade slip, there is a high probability that it will not be used."
Although the spirit armor technique can also absorb the energy of the earth spirit. But after all, it is different from the aura technique.
Most likely cannot be used to cast spells. Or a unique approach is needed.
Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a well out of the corner of his vision, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"The well water already contains the energy of the earth spirit. Why did the earth spirit show up first to attack the white jade plate?"
"Shouldn't we discover the water vein spiritual spring underground first?"
"There's something...there's something about this well!"
Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Can water wells or entire underground water veins isolate the earth spirit's vitality?!"
"Then if I hide in the water veins and practice, wouldn't it be safer?"
"Or, find the secret of the well's ability to isolate the energy of the earth spirit!"
…
An hour later.
Chen Mu sat under the wooden shed, holding a palm-sized brown rattan net in his hand.
The mesh is about the thickness of your index finger, the inner diameter of the mesh cord is about the same as the gel pen refill, and it is quite tough and strong.
If you poke it twice with your hand, the vine will slowly shrink and twitch like an animal!
Just now he was digging down the well.
It was found that the outer walls of the underground water wells and the rocks around the water veins were all covered with what looked like root vines.
"Chicken Coop Road will never cover the water veins with something like this for no reason." Chen Mu's eyes lit up.
"Eighty percent of it is used to seal off the earth spirit's vitality!"
"If it can be cultivated successfully..." Chen Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he displayed the third-level planting skill on the gray wall.
…
Half a month later.
Under the wooden shed, Chen Mu pulled out a large stone with a human head from the rectangular culture tank.
At this moment, the stone is completely covered by a network of brown root-like vines.
"It's done!"
Just apply special guiding concoction on the outside of the underground chamber, and then transplant a piece of rattan net that has been stimulated.
It can follow the guidance of the concoction and slowly wrap the target.
"It's wrapped in a rattan net and it's deep underground. Now I can finally use the white jade plate with confidence and boldness."
Catching a glimpse of the well from the corner of his eye, Chen Mu's heart moved: "Maybe we can connect the entrance to the underground chamber to the well!"
Anyway, he has mastered the method of cultivating the vine net and is not afraid of destroying the state of the well.
It also makes entry and exit more private and safe.
