I am grinding experience in another world Chapter 334 - 329 Acupoint

At the top of Mist Smoke Mountain, within the Cloud Summit Palace of the Yanxia Sect.

"There’s an alchemist nad Chen Mu in the Administrative Affairs Institute?" Liu Ling, in her thirties, dressed in a fiery red, cross-collared blouse and skirt, had a stern face and sharp eyes, and spoke with a ringing, forceful tone.

Sun Wuhuan unconsciously clasped his hands and bowed, his face full of respect, "Indeed, there is such a person."

Sun Wuhuan’s heart tightened.

Has the matter concerning this person been exposed?

"Put a halt to whatever he’s handling." Liu Ling said indifferently.

"Yes!" Sun Wuhuan imdiately agreed.

Then, lifting his head to look at Liu Ling, he hesitated for a long while, his face filled with worry, "Chen Mu is a newly appointed alchemist, and he doesn’t quite understand the rules. If he really did make a mistake, I hope Master Uncle will be lenient."

Liu Ling glanced at Sun Wuhuan, "What, is he one of your Sun Family people?"

"Master Uncle misunderstands," Sun Wuhuan hurriedly explained.

"In the end, he is a pill master I brought to Mist Smoke Mountain, and I can’t bear to see him stumble and face punishnt."

Liu Ling snorted coldly, "This matter involves the secrets of another court; it’s not for you to inquire about."

"Whenever you manage to cultivate Condensing Aperture, go back and ask your Old Ghost Sun about it."

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave; I need to cultivate."

Far from being annoyed, Sun Wuhuan kept a smiling face, "Master Uncle’s admonition is right, your nephew will take his leave now."

While speaking, he bowed and backed out of the great hall without lifting his head.

...

Outside Cloud Summit Palace, Sun Wuhuan walked down the mountain with an expressionless face.

"I never expected this man to actually have a connection with Master Uncle Liu!"

"With such a background, why didn’t you reveal it earlier!"

Sun Wuhuan cursed inwardly.

It’s another damn case of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

"Seems like I can’t go against him anymore," Sun Wuhuan thought helplessly.

Find a chance to talk?

After all, no substantial conflict had occurred.

As for those three missing people...

"Gone ans gone; every year countless people wish to ingratiate themselves with the Sun Family, they won’t miss those three."

Chen Mu is an alchemist, and apparently soone high up in the institute favors him, his future prospects are boundless.

Where there’s a conflict, it’s best to resolve it swiftly; it’s better to dissolve grievances than to harbor them. That’s the reason why his Sun Family was able to grow and prosper on Jilong Road.

"First find an opportunity to send so small gifts to smooth things over," Sun Wuhuan thought helplessly.

...

More than a month later.

Thirty li to the west of Mist Smoke Mountain, underground.

Within a crevice roughly three to four ters tall and five to six ters wide, shaped like a triangle, a half-ter deep underground stream flowed quietly.

Chen Mu stood under one side of the rock wall, along with the big toad Yuanbao, staring at the two figures on the opposite rock.

One of the figures, a dark-complexioned man, softly recited Curse Words, his body gradually surrounded by an invisible force that swiftly enveloped the gray-white rock wall.

The solid rock lted like wax under a fla in the blink of an eye, turning into mud.

Then, a hole the thickness of a finger appeared and rapidly expanded outward.

Soon, the mud hardened again, creating a spherical space, four to five ters in diater with smooth, solid walls.

Chen Mu envied the honest-looking man who resembled an ordinary farr.

"If only I knew the skill Point Ground into Steel, how convenient digging tunnels would be in the future."

That man was the constructor of the storehouse Alchemist Chamber, Brother Liu from the Hundred Workshops Hall.

...

Experience more on

Once the cave walls were completely solidified, Brother Liu silently ca to Chen Mu’s side.

Liang Yi, however, holding a bright Glowing Algae Lamp, walked into the newly excavated spherical space.

Through the human-high circular entrance, he could vaguely be seen taking out a fist-sized sphere and then began to quietly recite Curse Words.

Accompanied by the murmurs of a thousand people, the silver-white filigree sphere floated into the air and slowly spun around.

Chen Mu had seen similar operations before.

For more than a month, he had been exploring underground water veins.

During this ti, Liang Yi would occasionally stop and, near so Yin Rivers, construct these underground spaces known as pulse apertures.

These were reportedly key nodes for the Mountain Protection Restriction.

"When everything is set up, they won’t really silence us, will they?" a hint of concern flashed in Chen Mu’s eyes.

He glanced at Brother Liu beside him, and his heart stirred.

"Brother Liu, the Condensing Aperture we’re setting up, what if soone finds it following the underground water veins and then destroys it?" Chen Mu inquired inconspicuously.

"They won’t find it," Brother Liu said with a chuckle.

"Once the Mountain Protection Law is established, the Condensing Aperture will co to life."

Co to life?

"This thing isn’t actually going to run away, is it?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

"It really will move on its own," Brother Liu said, cheerful.

"I don’t know the specifics, but I heard it from the senior brothers in the Hundred Workshops Hall when we last constructed the Jade Spring Mountain’s Condensing Aperture."

"After the Mountain Protection Restriction is perfected, the Condensing Aperture will form a whole and move according to the movent of the sun, moon, and stars."

"You also participated in the construction of Jade Spring Mountain’s restrictions?" Chen Mu was delighted.

"I can’t create Condensing Apertures, I just dug a few tunnels," Brother Liu said modestly, waving his hand.

"Without Brother Liu’s ’Point Ground into Steel’, digging these underground caves wouldn’t have been easy!" Chen Mu complinted with a smile.

In his heart, though, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seed there was truly no need to fear being silenced.

...

As the two chatted leisurely,

the buzzing sound like that of bees flapping their wings suddenly ca through.

The two stopped their chat and turned to look, only to see that Liang Yi had sohow exited the Condensing Aperture space.

The silver sphere, however, was floating in mid-air, spinning and emitting a pale white glow.

The next mont, the hollow sphere suddenly transford into silver threads, which then threaded into the surrounding walls and disappeared.

A smaller hollow sphere was left in its place.

Then it began to spin and shine again, spreading into silver threads that rged into the entire space.

As the sphere changed, rocks around the arched entrance grew rapidly, sealing off the entrance completely in the blink of an eye.

Buzz!

Another buzzing sound resonated.

An invisible ripple dispersed from the rock wall across from them.

It swept by them and lted into the surrounding rocks and soil, disappearing without a trace.

"All set, we can go back now," Liang Yi said with a smile, visibly relieved.

Go back?

A thought struck Chen Mu, and he looked at Liang Yi with curiosity.

"This is the last Condensing Aperture," Liang Yi said.

"After over three months, the Mountain Protection Restriction is complete, and thankfully we no longer have to keep burrowing underground," he said with a laugh.

"First go and rest for three days, then co to Cloud Summit Palace to collect your Dao Contributions from ."

"Each of you will receive three thousand. However, there is one thing—this matter must be kept a secret, not to be ntioned to outsiders."

...

In the evening, inside Chen Mu’s bamboo building,

dust had accumulated everywhere since it hadn’t been lived in for so long.

Due to the damp conditions of Mist Smoke Mountain, a faint musty sll perated the room.

"Luckily I had packed and taken away all the bedding before," Chen Mu thought silently, noting the black mold spots on the bamboo window.

Soon, Five Ghosts Black Smoke perated the place, roiling along the floor and walls, and quickly swept through the entire bamboo building.

Chen Mu opened the windows for ventilation and then lit so incense.

Carrying his rocking chair, Chen Mu retreated to the corridor outside the door to avoid the lingering sll.

"Three thousand Dao Contributions, that’s even more than what I earn from Alchemy."

"If only this could happen a few more tis."

The neighboring courtyard seed to be intent on expanding its influence; if they also took over the other four mountains around Jade Spring Mountain...

After so thought, Chen Mu shook his head.

This ti it was a coincidence that he encountered Liang Yi overseeing the Mountain Protection Restriction; there’s no guarantee it would happen again.

"I’d better think about how to deal with Sun Wuhuan," Chen Mu frowned.

More than a month had passed, and it was uncertain whether Qi Hui had visited.

"It would be best if he replaced ; that would allow to return to Jade Spring Mountain directly."
