Five days later.
There is a Yin River underground somewhere.
With an explosion, a ball of miserable green sword light broke through the cave entrance of the collapsed rock.
Chen Mu walked carefully into this underground space with a Yang difference bone shield on his head and a fist-sized fluorescent algae lamp floating beside him.
As soon as he walked in, he found a shriveled corpse at the entrance of the cave.
There was a big hole in the opponent's chest, and his skinny face was full of horror, like a mummy that had been buried in the desert for hundreds of years.
At this moment, it is floating on the water of Yin River, blocked by a rock, drifting with the current, slowly spinning in place.
"Why bother?" Chen Mu shook his head.
Sun Wuhuan was gifted, had a good family background, and had no shortage of secret magic resources. He should have become a high-ranking figure, but in the end he still died in the underground.
"I'm obviously avoiding you, but I want to eradicate the root cause. Alas..." Chen Mu sighed.
"After all, we got to know each other. Even though we are enemies, I can't bear to have you soak in the water after you die. It's better for me to help you bury it." Chen Mu thought like this, activated the Qi Barrier, and buried him from a distance. Sun Wuhuan raised his head.
Then...he took out the Fire Cloud Gourd.
boom!
Raging flames suddenly enveloped Sun Wuhuan.
Chen Mu stared unblinkingly, and during this period, he squeezed and beat the opponent with Qi, until the opponent was completely burned to white ash.
Then the gray powder was sprinkled into the Yin River.
"Ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust. As my enemy, I can help you to deal with the aftermath of your death to this extent, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous." Chen Mu looked complicated.
"Alas... I'm just a bad person." He was very helpless about the kindness in his bones.
The world is difficult and dangerous, but if you have a good heart, you may not have any good results.
"But who told us to be this kind of person?" Chen Mu was very pleased that he could maintain his original intention of kindness.
"If Sun Wuhuan has knowledge, he will definitely be moved." He thought with a sense of accomplishment.
"If he can still send a message, he will definitely use this external thing as a reward for me." Chen Mu looked at the two things floating in front of him with a smile on his face.
A red gourd as heavy as cast iron.
An emerald green ring with faint silver dots.
"That's so polite!"
"This is what I should do."
"You're welcome!"
"Ha ha……"
…
The alchemy room in the warehouse on the east side of Mist Mountain.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the soft couch, holding the dark Hunyuan furnace on the short table in front of him with both hands.
A low humming sound came out regularly from the alchemy furnace.
After a while, Chen Mu let go of his hand and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
Eighty-one Bigu Pills flew out and fell into the wooden box on the side of the short table.
"It would be great if there was a Qiankun Furnace." Chen Mu thought longingly.
Even though he has thoroughly mastered the Bigu Pill training method, he is still limited by the size of the pill furnace and can only refine 81 Bigu Pills at a time.
He had listened to Bai Xiuwen's chat before and knew that there was a kind of Qiankun furnace. It didn't look big from the outside, but it was huge inside. One furnace could hold up to ten furnaces.
"If there was a Qiankun Furnace, there would be no need to repeat elixir refining here." Chen Mu looked at the more than ten wooden boxes neatly arranged under the soft couch.
It was filled with the essence of grains, which had been accumulated in the previous month.
"Didn't Qi Hui want to come here to earn Taoist merit? I was transferred away by Liang Yi before, why didn't he come?" Chen Mu was confused.
"It would have been better if I didn't come. Now that Sun Wuhuan is gone, I should earn this Taoist merit." Chen Mu thought happily.
Rest for a while, clean the alchemy furnace, and continue refining alchemy.
…
More than ten days later in the evening.
Chen Muzhu Tower, on the corridor outside the door.
On three sides of the corridor, there are hanging incense sticks hanging in the shape of a bell. When the breeze blows, the dark red end of the incense sticks flickers on and off.
A fist-sized fluorescent algae lamp hangs from the top of the eaves. Its warm white light illuminates the gradually darkening sky.
There is a square table under the lamp, with three vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes and five large dishes placed around it, with a round Hunyuan stove sitting in the middle.
Bai Xiuwen sat on the bamboo chair with a backrest and looked at the Hunyuan furnace with a strange expression. The red-braised meat of exotic animals that emitted white smoke made his eyelids twitch wildly.
Use the precious alchemy furnace to stew meat? !
Really...
He couldn't help but glance at Chen Mu next to him.
"Eat, watch what I do, this meat is stewed just right."
"Eat, let's eat now..." Bai Xiuwen's face twitched and he started eating with a wry smile on his face.
As soon as the stew was in his mouth, Bai Xiuwen's eyes lit up.
Can you practice cooking while refining elixirs?
"Is there any conclusion about the previous disaster?" Chen Mu asked as he picked up a piece of cold vegetables and chewed them.
He has been staying in the warehouse refining elixirs and is not very well-informed.
"There is news from the Inspection Institute that the mastermind is Ancestor Xin Ya, a master of the evil path in Dongling." Bai Xiuwen's face was solemn.
"That man is good at driving poisonous insects, and his methods are vicious."
"Looking at the inhumane blood sacrifice prohibition, you can see how cruel this person is." Bai Xiuwen couldn't help but shudder: "Except for us, all living creatures in the surrounding area of a hundred miles are almost dead!"
Chen Mu was speechless immediately.
As expected, he is evil and acts unscrupulously.
"Fortunately, there is a mountain guarding ban, otherwise..." Bai Xiuwen looked happy.
"With this battle, I won't be afraid of sneak attacks from evil ways in the future."
"Wuyan Mountain is completely controlled by our Jilong Road."
Chen Mu nodded in agreement.
With the mountain protection restriction, and two people, one demon and three Ningqiao experts sitting in charge, they can control the Misty Mountain.
"There's no news from Vice-President Sun? There's no explanation from other courts either?" Chen Mu asked calmly.
"I've practiced so many Bigu Pills, but I don't know who to exchange them for." He complained with a bit of complaint in his tone, as if he really only cared about how to exchange for Dao Gong.
"It's probably more bad than good." Bai Xiuwen guessed.
"I heard that an expert from the Sun family's Ningqiao came here. He asked many people for information and even used secret methods to search the mountain."
"As a result, I wandered around the Mist Mountain for several days, but found nothing."
"You also know that there is absolutely no death in this area for hundreds of miles. What can you find?" Bai Xiuwen whispered.
"It won't be long before someone comes to take over the General Affairs Council."
An expert in condensation? Secret search?
As expected, Sun Wuhuan has a profound background.
It’s good to get nothing.
If there is no result, there is a high probability that it will not involve me.
"I hope so." Chen Mu pretended to sigh: "I'd better stop practicing for a few days before practicing. There are too many Bigu Pills in my hands, and I'm not sure."
…
The days after.
Chen Mu huddled in the warehouse, showing up every morning to refine three taels of furnace pills and gain experience in the Five Qi Hunyuan Method.
Then I took a look at Gurdjieff's Baicao Note and took the opportunity to ponder the insect-repelling pill.
In the afternoon, he returned to the Bamboo House and hid in the secret room to practice the Fire Cloud Curse.
Go to bed early and get up early, keep a regular schedule.
With the sun and moon rotating like this, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Late one night, in a cave four hundred meters underground.
Fluorescent algae lamps illuminate the cave that has been dark for who knows how many years.
On a platform protruding from the rock wall.
Chen Mu took out a huge futon and sat down, activated Qi Jin Baili, dug out a wooden box from the rock on the platform and opened it.
A red-skinned gourd and an emerald green ring finger lay quietly among them.
Chen Mu was so excited that his whole body itched: "Flying sword..."
