I am grinding experience in another world Chapter 359 - 352: United as One

"I’m grateful that I received it, but you should take the White Jade back. It wasn’t easy to accumulate so much," Chen Mu reluctantly pushed the wooden box back to Wang Heyuan.

Originally, he only taught to avoid the forced assignnt.

Although the White Jade was tempting, he never intended to earn Daoist Cultivation by teaching, and thus it didn’t seem right to take the hard-earned money of the three.

Seeing Chen Mu’s genuine attitude, Wang Heyuan was quite moved.

With a solemn face, he pushed back the wooden box, "Senior brother, please accept it by all ans."

To put Chen Mu at ease, Wang Heyuan hesitated for a mont before saying, "Senior brother need not worry about us, acquiring this White Jade wasn’t difficult."

The White Jade wasn’t difficult to co by?

What a boastful claim!

Did you rob the storeroom of the Administrative Affairs Institute or what?

Wang Heyuan clenched his teeth and said, "There’s a fat man who has been secretly buying the Essence of the Five Grains at three tis the price of the Administrative Affairs Institute. So, we just..."

"Wait a minute? Did you say a fat man? Is that man bald?!"

Jia Tian, the little prince?

Has the little fatty expanded his smuggling business so quickly?

"That’s not the case," Wang Heyuan shook his head.

Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief.

He then couldn’t help but be amazed.

These people were indeed audacious. Even now, with the cultivators of East Ridge locked in a fierce struggle with other courtyards, they dared to do business with the opposition, showing no regard for the Inspection Courtyard at all.

After all, Jia Tian did know him. If anything went wrong, he might even be dragged into it.

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case!

When Wang Heyuan saw that Chen Mu was interested and showed no unusual expression, he cautiously asked, "Senior brother doesn’t bla us? That fat man collected the Essence of the Five Grains, probably to sell to East Ridge..."

Chen Mu imdiately interrupted with a serious gesture, "We don’t know at all who he sold it to!"

Wang Heyuan was taken aback, then his face broke into a smile as he repeatedly nodded, "Haha! Senior brother is right!"

Chen Mu also laughed heartily, making money, not shaful at all.

Back in Da Liang, he had also made counterfeit Elixir Pills for money, not exactly an honorable thod when speaking of it.

The atmosphere lightened up, and the three no longer had tense expressions.

Wang Heyuan sighed casually, "That small-eyed fat man is truly bold, daring to engage in such business..."

A small-eyed fat man?

Chen Mu tensed up all over!

"Did you say the fat man had small eyes?"

"Have you seen him, senior brother? That man indeed has distinct features, a big face with small eyes, tall and fat. His eyes are already small, and when he laughs, they get squeezed shut by his chubby cheeks, leaving an unforgettable impression," Wang Heyuan said cheerfully.

Can it be?!

"Do you know that person’s na?" Chen Mu asked, still hoping.

"They say his na is Gongsun Bai."

Chen Mu: "..."

Fuck!

"Senior brother knows him?" Wang Heyuan asked curiously.

"Know him? No, no, no, I don’t know him at all!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth.

That’s obviously the dead fatty Shang Huan!

Wasn’t that guy running an honest business on Jade Spring Mountain? When did he co to Eagle Grief Cliff?

And he dares to call himself Gongsun Bai?

Such damnable audacity!

...

Below Eagle Grief Cliff, in a stronghold at the southwest corner, gurgling and huffing noises echoed constantly.

Over a hundred plump pig-rabbits gathered together, rampaging arrogantly in all directions.

So were irritable, leaping high like fish jumping over Dragon Gate, with fat heads and big ears in energetic bounds.

"Wow!" Lu Tu, with a brand-new Bone-Chopping Knife tucked at his waist, stood outside the throng of pig-rabbits, smiling with a profound look on his face.

"Others raise pig-rabbits, and it takes at least a month to slaughter them; Brother Gongsun can turn out a batch every ten to fifteen days. Such a great technique."

Shang Huan smiled with squinted eyes, "I don’t have that ability, but my several brothers and sisters each have their own thods."

Lu Tu glanced at the six people not far away.

They varied in height, weight, and odd shapes, but each one bore a blank expression with an aura of death about them.

Their look at him was the sa as their look at the pig-rabbits scampering around the stronghold.

A tremor passed through the fat of Lu Tu’s face, and he dared not probe any further.

Hurrying along with the ten pig-rabbits he had reserved, he quickly left.

...

"This person is questioning the origin of the magical creatures." Xu Rao stared in the direction where Lu Tu the butcher had left, his narrow eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"So what if he’s suspicious? We bought the magical creatures and provided the brothers on Eagle Grief Cliff with at. Who can say we did anything wrong?" Shang Huan said with a chuckle.

"But you used the Essence of the Five Grains to buy the magical creatures," Yu Lin said in his deep voice.

Chen Mu, who had secretly activated empathic sensing, imdiately went pale upon hearing this.

It was indeed this damn fatty!

The cultivators of East Ridge had already co to blows with the other courtyards, and yet this guy was still daring to aid the enemy?!

"No need to worry, at most he’ll guess we bought the magical creatures from the people of East Ridge. He will never guess what we used to buy them," Shang Huan said nonchalantly.

Then, with a smug look, he boasted, "Just one delivery and we got back over a hundred magical creatures, worth two to three thousand White Jade Coins. Isn’t that more profitable than what you earn fighting and killing?"

"Besides, your no-cost business, whether discovered or eting soone pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, has far graver consequences than this."

"Fortune cos with risks. Let’s get rich together!" Shang Huan tried to lift his eyelids upward, his tone full of temptation.

The six siblings of Wu Mountain exchanged a glance without a word.

What they cared about was never the risk; it was the United Heart Curse.

"Does Mr. Gongsun know about this?" Yu Lin asked gravely.

"Know... of course he knows!" Shang Huan said with conviction, "How could he possibly not know!"

Lu Ku imdiately raised an eyebrow.

That Mr. Gongsun had exceptional talent and strong power, his speed in cultivating the United Heart Curse and his depth of understanding were already comparable to its creator.

They had once fled Cold Moon Mountain together, so they were not unfamiliar with that Mr. Gongsun.

He was indeed powerful, but he was also truly cautious.

Would he agree to Shang Huan’s brazen acts?

"He agreed to you selling Exploration Magical Instrunts?" Wu Ruo asked, her face gentle yet questioning.

Hearing this, Chen Mu, who was still empathically connected, felt his scalp tingle with shock.

He had heard the unscrupulous owner of Red Grass Hall babble about soone selling Exploration Magical Instrunts to the cultivators of East Ridge.

At the ti, Chen Mu thought he had already warned Shang Huan, so it was definitely not him.

But damn it, it really was him!

The commotion in East Ridge was partly this damn fatty’s fault?!

If the Inspection Courtyard traces back to him, before Sun Jian gets a chance to act, the other courtyard would have already killed him!

"Big sister, if Mr. Gongsun didn’t agree, how would I dare to sell Exploration Magical Instrunts?" Shang Huan quickly tried to explain carefully.

"Mr. Gongsun’s words are always concise and profound. I listen carefully, reflect on them, and at last, I understood," Shang Huan said proudly, "He forbade from selling the Wood Spirit Boy, but as for the rest... anything goes!"

The first half I’ll acknowledge, but how the hell did you comprehend the second half?!

And you’re proud of it?!

Seven Souls Return to Origin!

Then, with a smile still on his face, Shang Huan’s eyes rolled back and he abruptly fainted.

The six siblings of Wu Mountain instantly froze on the spot.

...

Inside the wooden building, beneath the windowsill.

Chen Mu watched the waterfall outside with a vacant gaze, the freshly brewed coconut milk coffee Replenishing Origin Soup no longer appealing.

Since escaping Cold Moon Mountain together, the six siblings of Wu Mountain had beco aware of Gongsun Sheng’s true identity.

And from the Lower Courtyard of Tongtian River onwards, Shang Huan had been in contact with him.

If anything were to go wrong with either side, he would not be free of trouble himself.

Make them stay at ho and not go anywhere?

Impossible!

All cultivators in the world strive for wealth and cultivation with courage and competition.

Those people would not be content with diocrity like him.

"Ah... not one worry-free!" Chen Mu sighed.

"I can only often activate the United Heart Curse to check on them."

No matter if they were good or bad, he couldn’t possibly forcefully interfere with their actions.

Even if he did intervene, they were unlikely to heed his words.

Just like Shang Huan’s reading comprehension that seed learned from a monster.

Just like when the six siblings of Wu Mountain in Lower Courtyard of Tongtian River, despite knowing his dislike and aware of the empathic sensing of the United Heart Curse, still dared to indulge in oppressive deeds behind his back.

"If it really cos to a critical mont, to avoid being implicated, perhaps..." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

He had the United Heart Lock, and his cultivation of the United Heart Curse was nearly at Perfection, the Ninth Rank.

If he wished to keep his identity secret, humph...
