Time flies, the foggy mountains are calm, and March flies by in a blink of an eye.
Twenty meters underground in the Zhulou Jingshe, in a secret room about the size of two bedrooms, Chen Mu was sitting cross-legged on a large soft couch with his eyes closed.
Next to him is a square table with green smoke curling from a large fist-sized incense burner.
There are more than ten fist-sized jade balls inlaid on the top of the head, and the fluorescent algae inside them flicker and shine warmly.
There are seven pots of sea pine trees placed in the corner. The branches and leaves tremble slightly, breathing and purifying the air.
After a long while, a soft hum came from Chen Mu's body.
Invisible fluctuations spread out in all directions like water waves, and the vertical green smoke was suddenly bent.
Within the jade seed, four layers of Huangquan talismans are closely nested, and the silver and black hollow balls are rotating randomly at the same time, but there is a neat rhythm in the chaos.
"It's done!"
Chen Mu looked happily at the gray wall in front of him.
Underworld general outline: 32/10000/level five;
After traveling from Yuquan Mountain to Wuyan Mountain for seven or eight months, the fourth layer of talismans was finally condensed and completed.
The jade seed expanded to the size of three fists, and the total amount of mana increased again. The rainbow light from all over the ground was able to pull Chen Mu into the air as high as a three-story building.
At the same time, there is also a secret hole on the back, almost opposite to the navel.
"Hey, this spiritual armor technique..." Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.
Although the cloud mirage spiritual armor technique on the gray wall still shows its extreme state.
But when he stared at the item, a wave of insights immediately came into his mind.
This secret skill that I acquired unintentionally has made a big step forward silently.
"Is it the underworld's general outline, or is it the influence of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains?"
"I won't turn into a ghost, right?"
Spirit Armor is a way for outsiders to reincarnate into a celestial demon, in order to practice the true form of the celestial demon, just like the original White Tower master who transformed into a black dragon.
"It would be great if I could really turn into a black dragon. At least it would be domineering enough."
"But a cloud of black smoke with howling ghosts and howling wolves... the style of painting is evil at first glance!" Chen Mu scratched his head.
His dream of a dashing swordsman seems to be getting further and further away.
"Oh...just keep practicing."
Whether it was the Underworld Master Plan or the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains, it was impossible for him to stop practicing.
What's more, the Qi bound given by the Spiritual Armor Technique can be seen through Qinglu's secret method!
Thinking like this, invisible force spread out, and an invisible and massless hemisphere with a diameter of more than 400 meters suddenly covered the surroundings of the bamboo building.
"The scope is bigger again? Good thing!" Chen Mu said with joy.
The larger the range of the Qi Restriction is, the less afraid he is of Qinglu's secret method.
As long as the opponent's clone appears, he will be able to detect it immediately.
"No matter how clever you are at old man Qing's secret technique, you still can't surpass my air restriction monitoring!"
…
I was restless for a while.
Chen Mu brought up the gray wall again and looked down from above.
I have been in this world for more than ten years, and before I knew it, there was a long list of entries on the gray wall.
He looked down one by one.
Writing: 2162/10000/Level 4;
Picture: 1037/10000/Level 3;
Cooking skill: 2640/10000/Level 6;
Pharmacy: 6117/10000/Level 6;
"I learned these four skills very early, but I don't know when I will reach the limit."
Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse: 8031/10000/Level 9;
"Almost reaching the top? Not bad!"
Laundry, cooking and cleaning, the five ghost bags filled almost every corner of Chen Mu's life. As time went by, he was once again on the verge of upgrading.
Shapeshifting: 1696/10000/Level 5;
"Well, if it's useful enough, don't be in a hurry to use it. Keep accumulating."
Planting: 6933/10000/Level 3;
"This skill is probably finished. Without the need to make money by growing yellow bud rice, it is probably difficult to improve."
Fire Cloud Curse: 3461/10000/Level 3;
"The magical weapon Fire Cloud Gourd followed me, which is considered a secret investment." Chen Mu shook his head.
It's obviously an offensive weapon, but it turns out that Chen Mu uses it most often for barbecue!
Tsk!
Control: 4286/10000/second level;
"Enough."
Listening method: 3601/10000/seventh level;
"accumulation."
Five Yuan Qi Inhalation Method: 1998/10000/Level 4;
Five Qi Hunyuan Method: 4316/10000/Level 3;
"Not urgent."
Underworld general outline: 32/10000/level five;
"Well, this is a top priority, so we can't slack off."
The world is not stable, and it is always better to have more strength.
Refer to the ground to become steel: 669/10000/second level;
"Enough is enough."
Giant Spirit God: 9466/10000/Level 4;
"The magical weight loss skill needs to be upgraded? What an unexpected surprise!"
Seven-turn incantation: 9913/10000;
"I said that the efficiency of refining Huiyuan Tang is getting higher and higher. This is almost complete."
"The spell comes from cooking skills, and the refined Huiyuantang is loved by Yin soldiers. Isn't it specially used to cook for Yin soldiers? Ha..."
Alchemy (Peiyuan Dan): 8266/10000;
"The yield rate of Peiyuan Dan is getting higher and higher, good!"
Small frost method: 1015/10000/second level;
"Keep accumulating."
Looking at the ability to paint stripes under the gray wall to the limit, Chen Mu felt both proud and sad.
For these achievements, he did not know how much blood and sweat he had thrown away.
Those dazzling limits are the best affirmation of his past hard work.
Gray walls? That's a record board!
"It's all thanks to me that I am here today! Yeah!"
…
Eagle Chou Cliff.
The steep cliff that was originally so towering that an eagle could not fly was cut off from it.
The green mountain peaks turned gray and bare.
On the west side of the cliff, there is a remaining palace.
Several rays of sunlight penetrated from the collapsed roof, and bits of dust floated quietly under the light, looming.
At a certain moment, the dust suddenly stirred, and accompanied by a rapid and low whistling sound, a tall and thin figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
"Yang Huan, how dare you appear in front of me, you are not afraid that I will strike you with a thunderbolt." Sun Jian said coldly, staring at the shadow of the ruined hall.
"Have you hacked me? Ha...you don't want the Underworld Picture Book?" Yang Huan grinned, his face full of teasing.
"Kill you, and the catalog will still be mine!" Sun Jian stretched out his wide sleeve with his right hand, and a trace of lightning danced between his fingers.
"It's useless to say harsh words. If you have the ability to challenge the Thousand Ji Sect, you can see if they will give you the Underworld Picture Book." Yang Huan sneered: "Without the gourd sword box as a stepping stone, how can you use the Thousand Ji Sect's Cloud Bat Flying Boat?" You can’t even get up there!”
Sun Jian's face suddenly darkened.
Yang Huan chuckled, walked out of the shadow in the corner, and came to the door of the hall.
He looked at the desolate Yingchou Cliff and marveled: "You guys in the Chicken Cage Road are so cruel. In order to set up a legal ban, you actually destroyed an earth vein spiritual spring."
"Don't tell me you are Dongling barbarians. Without you guys pushing the boat forward, how could Wei Donglai break Yingchou Mountain?"
"Besides, it's not a big secret that you exchanged the Five Qi Yuan Gathering Law Ban from Qianji Sect."
"Six mountains are too many. It hinders the layout of the law and prohibition, so you destroy one? These are spiritual mountains that can breed vitality. Tsk, tsk, what a waste of natural resources."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Sun Jian walked to Yang Huan and said calmly.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just helped bury a few restrictions and destroy a few spiritual mountains." Yang Huan grinned.
"Why, the Chongshan Road is gone and the White Tower is dead, and you still want to avenge him?" Sun Jian said with a sneer on his face: "I really can't tell that you are still a person who values love and justice."
Yang Huanhun didn't care: "Friendship? How can that thing be as valuable as the Daoji Secret Technique?"
Sun Jian was silent for a moment.
Yes, in the face of the road, how much is friendship worth? Sects and families are not indispensable.
"I want to see the underworld catalog first." Sun Jian said calmly, looking into the distance.
Yang Huan suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth full of fine white teeth.
…
For a long time, there was silence in the dilapidated hall.
Sun Jian stood alone at the door, looking at the barren mountains in the distance with a gloomy expression.
"Who is behind Yang Huan? A remnant of Chongshan Taoism? Or several other Taoist sects in Yunzhou?"
"Damn it! If I hadn't lost the Lingbao Gourd and Sword Box, how could Yang Huan, a bereaved dog, have taken advantage of it... Huh? Could it be Yang Huan's handiwork if the treasure gourd was lost?!"
His eyes suddenly became sharp.
"No wonder I can't find any clues, Yang Huan!"
After a while, Sun Jian slowly regained his composure.
"Since Yang Huan dares to show up, there is no need to think about retrieving the gourd sword box."
"Taoji Secret Technique..."
Sun Jian looked down at the bright yellow scroll in his right hand and was lost in thought, but he soon came back to his senses and became firm.
"Compared with the road, the Chicken Coop Road is nothing."
