I am grinding experience in another world Chapter 323 - 318 Manipulation

"Do we want to…" Bai Xiuwen squinted his eyes, feigning a cold tone.

After frowning and thinking for a mont, Qi Hui shook his head, "Let’s wait and see if he will continue to take on the Fasting Pill tasks."

In a month, eight thousand Fasting Pills, he refined over five thousand himself and purchased about three thousand more.

This was a number consistent with his alchemy skills, one that would not arouse suspicion of fraud in the rit points from other courtyards.

"But if that person continues…" Bai Xiuwen probed in a dark undertone.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui’s expression imdiately turned as somber as water.

"Then don’t bla for being ruthless!"

Qi Hui’s eyes were sharp as knives.

"I will definitely go to the Pavilion Master and give him a thorough complaint!"

More than four hundred ters away from a cliff, hidden by the Five Ghosts and sitting cross-legged on a flying kite, Chen Mu: "..."

Tattling?

Wow!

What a ruthless move!

Ha ha...

Even Bai Xiuwen was sowhat caught off guard.

"Just… just tattling?"

Not playing any underhanded tricks or anything?

"What else would you want?" Qi Hui looked at Bai Xiuwen bewilderedly, then coldly scoffed with disdain, "Those mud-legged peasants from the Lower Courtyard are all so eager for quick success."

"Does the other institute not know everyone exchanges Elixirs for rit points? It’s an open secret."

"But if soone takes us for fools and acts without any scruples… Hmph!"

"As long as I lodge a complaint against him, the Pavilion Master will definitely deal with him harshly!" Qi Hui said triumphantly.

Chen Mu, watching from a distance, was full of reflection.

This Senior Brother Qi, how to put it.

He’s definitely not foolish, but it seems…

Well, he’s like a well-behaved child fresh out of school from a previous life.

Chen Mu, who had seen his fair share of the harsh realities of the world, found this unexpectedly novel.

Such a good person...

How wonderful it would be if everyone were this simple!

...

He covertly watched this Senior Brother Qi for several days.

He made sure the man truly harbored no ill will.

And had Bai Xiuwen closely monitor the man’s movents.

Only then did Chen Mu feel at ease.

Fortunately, when receiving the task in the past, he left so leeway. Had he taken all twenty thousand Fasting Pill tasks at once, it would have enraged Senior Brother Qi enough to complain right away!

Tsk tsk… That was close!

...

Midway up Jade Spring Mountain, within a dense, verdant forest.

Truthful Listening!

An invisible ripple spread out quickly in all directions from Chen Mu at its center.

After confirming no one was within a fifteen-mile radius, Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

This was a spot he had found after several days of guiding his flying kite.

The location wasn’t particularly hidden, standing atop the trees, one could see the Administrative Affairs Institute halfway up the mountain, and the Jade Spring District at the mountain’s foot.

Yet because it was not close to either of them, the Inspection Courtyard rarely patrolled to investigate here.

"The Patrolling Inspectors won’t be disturbed, so I can cultivate in peace."

"It’s not too remote, so it’s safe."

Lately, there have been reports of various heretical and evil factions infiltrating Jade Spring Mountain to wreak havoc.

Too remote a location might harbor such dangerous individuals, and he certainly didn’t wish to encounter them.

Chen Mu rubbed his hands together, "Hehe, now I can really soar!"

A thread of Mana infused into the Five Ghosts Bag.

Five Ghosts Yin Spirit Great Escape Technique!

Around Chen Mu, billowing black smoke imdiately appeared.

At the sa ti, streams of thick, lava-like flas embedded in the black smoke rolled within the dark clouds, appearing and disappearing as the smoke churned.

Howls and shrieks akin to ghosts and wolves spreading out from within the dark clouds.

Chen Mu watched the dark clouds closely.

A tide of unpleasant mories surfaced in his mind.

Surging, pulsing, interwoven black and red...

"Cui Cui..."

In Qingshan County, he had once seen the true form of the ghost Cui Cui. It looked just like the appearance of black clouds mixed with magma stripes.

"Paper People’s Five Ghosts, all ghost creatures of the sa rank as Cui Cui?!"

The Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse felt like it was lifting a seal, gradually releasing the abilities of the Five Ghosts.

Won’t be possessed, right?!

Chen Mu couldn’t help but stare intently at the black clouds.

He imdiately perceived that, although the Five Ghosts were nimble, they didn’t possess intelligence comparable to that of humans like Cui Cui did.

"The creator of the Five Ghosts Bag couldn’t have overlooked this point," Chen Mu thought, sowhat relieved.

"Moreover, there’s the patch-like Soul Locking Curse to strengthen control," Chen Mu instantly felt at ease.

...

With a thought.

The black clouds surged toward Chen Mu with a boom, quickly enveloping his entire body, and a lifting force suddenly erged out of nowhere.

Chen Mu felt as though he had rged with the Five Ghosts’ spirits, light as a feather, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

The Five Ghosts Possession involved the Five Ghosts entering his body.

But the Great Escape Technique seed to be the reverse, with Chen Mu rging into the Five Ghosts Yin Spirit.

"Let’s start a ter off the ground."

Yet the ghosts, which were as easy to control as his own limbs in the past, suddenly beca heavy.

It was like the water in a glass suddenly turned to iron sand, the sensation in his hands when picked up imdiately felt different.

"Need to use a bit more strength."

Thinking this, Chen Mu tried to exert a little more force, and then he indeed began to rise slowly.

But just as he ascended half a ter, that heavy sensation abruptly diminished.

It was as if the iron sand in the water glass had suddenly turned into air!

Taken by surprise, Chen Mu shot up into the sky like a monkey soaring through the heavens.

In panic, he tried to descend rapidly, pressing downward fiercely.

Then he crashed into the ground with a thud.

Chen Mu jumped out of the big pit, shaking his head to toss off the dirt on his head.

"Ptui ptui... that’s quite difficult."

He imdiately continued experinting with a cheerful laugh.

...

In the following days.

He spent his days holed up in his cave dwelling, grinding the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique.

At night, he ran to the secluded dense forest, tirelessly practicing the Five Ghosts Blazing Fla Great Escape Technique.

Even though he fell and ended up covered in dust and dirt every ti, he never tired of it.

"Before ascension, the Five Ghosts beco heavy, but once surpassing a certain point, it’s like breaking free from shackles, and the Five Ghosts regain their lightness," he observed.

"However, if you perform maneuvers like changing directions or accelerating, this shift from heavy to light repeats itself."

"To fly effortlessly, one has to master this fluctuation between heavy and light," Chen Mu thought silently.

He looked at the experience ter on the grey wall.

To his surprise, not only had the proficiency of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse increased with the days of practice, but the experience in Manipulation Skill was also skyrocketing.

Manipulation: 7986/10000/First Rank;

"Now that’s a goal," Chen Mu thought cheerfully.

Let’s grind to Second Rank before reassessing!

...

Nine nights later, at the entrance to Chen Mu’s cave dwelling.

A clump of black and red smoky clouds descended from the sky.

Just two ters from the ground, it slowed abruptly, landing lightly like a feather.

Amid the swirling smoke clouds, the three-ter-tall figure of Chen Mu with bulging muscles and indigo skin appeared intermittently.

The next mont, the center of the black cloud seed to contain an invisible black hole, rapidly drawing in the swirling smoke until it all disappeared.

Chen Mu’s form also rapidly shrank back to normal size.

"Five Ghosts Possession and the Great Escape Technique can be used at the sa ti."

"It just consus mana too quickly."

He was trying to integrate the Five Ghosts Blazing Fla Great Escape Technique into his own energy system.

"Faster than the flying kite speed, but it consus more mana, suitable for short bursts, and pretty good for a quick escape."

"The inherent ghostly wails and howls seem to have a deterrent effect, coupled with Flying Escape Rapid Speed, it can also be used for rapid offensive strikes."

Chen Mu looked at the experience record on the grey wall.

Manipulation: 236/10000/Second Rank;

Second Rank Manipulation already allowed him to effortlessly control the Five Ghosts and fly at will.

"If I continue to improve the Manipulation Rank, the Great Escape Technique will surely beco even more mysterious and swift."

"Looks like I’ve got another daily task," Chen Mu shrugged.
