The top of Chongmei Mountain is broad and flat, covered with tall and green trees of various colors. Occasionally, gray tiles and flying eaves peek out from the woods, and courtyards and pavilions are hidden in the woods.

There is a three-entry courtyard on the west side, which is the station of Bailian Hall in the lower courtyard of Yunchong.

Chen Mu walked into the side room on the east side calmly with Li Moliang's face and figure. A chubby figure was sitting behind the desk.

Chen Mu held a palm-sized wooden box in both hands and placed it on the desk, and then respectfully clasped his fists: "Manager Huang, this is the water-repellent beads for this month, please check it."

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for many days, and your complexion has improved a lot. If we hadn't known each other for a long time, I would have suspected that you were someone else pretending." Huang Jian pressed the box and greeted with a smile.

This fat man Huang is so sharp!

Chen Mu's heart trembled.

Although he had used the shape-changing technique to imitate Li Moliang's skinny appearance, he was still full of energy and vitality, unlike Li Moliang, who was deficient in blood and qi. People familiar with him could still sense something strange when they saw him.

"Luckily, my weapon-refining skills have improved a little recently, and my energy and spirit have been slightly reduced." Chen Mu shrugged and pretended to be proud.

"Isn't this a coincidence!" Huang Jian smiled brighter when he heard this.

"The upper house is in urgent need of a batch of water-repellent beads recently, and I am worried about this batch of magic weapons."

"Your weapon-refining skills have improved now, so I think you can practice more, which is really a great help."

Urgently need water-repellent beads?

Is it to build a ferry across the Ten Thousand Mountains?

Chen Mu's thoughts turned, but he didn't show it on his face. He deliberately showed an expression of expectation and surprise to test: "What's the price?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee you will be satisfied." Fatty Huang waved his hand happily and said: "For one water-repellent bead, I can give you 45 Dao Gong and 80 white jade coins."

Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

According to Li Moliang, in the past, if you handed in a reduced version of a low-grade water-repellent bead, Bailian Hall would give you at most 30 Dao Gong and 65 white jade coins. I didn't expect that it would be directly increased by more than 20% now!

"This is just the beginning. If Brother Li can practice a high-grade water-repellent bead, I will directly give you 300 Dao Gong and 300 white jade coins!" Fatty Huang stretched out three fingers and gestured in front of Chen Mu.

The price of high-grade water-repellent beads is so high?

Because the raw materials are precious, the water-repellent beads commonly used in Yunchong Lower House are abridged versions. Although the effects are similar, they can only be used for one year.

The original high-grade water-repellent beads can be used for five years.

But even so, it was only more than two hundred white jade coins at most, three hundred white jades plus three hundred Daogong, the price was a bit unexpected.

"If you are interested, Brother Li, you might as well give it a try." Huang Jian smiled and advised: "If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next time will be."

"Thank you for the reminder, Manager Huang." Chen Mu immediately pretended to be surprised and clasped his hands.

After a few more pleasantries, Chen Mu walked out of the Bailian Hall courtyard with a cloth bag filled with eighty white jade coins.

After nodding and smiling at a burly man who had met him several times, Chen Mu stood at the door and looked back at the busy figures in various places in the Bailian Hall, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Even Huang Jian, who had the most contact with me, didn't see through my disguise. Li Moliang's fake identity can be regarded as a successful replacement."

...

On the east side of Chongmei Mountain, Chen Mu's cave residence, in front of the huge jade window.

"I've only heard that the upper house of Eyangdao needs to collect thunder talismans, but I've never heard of continuing to avoid water beads." Li Moliang was puzzled: "Is the upper house planning to open another lower house to breed golden pearl clams?"

"Maybe." Chen Mu glanced at Li Moliang and didn't explain much.

It seems that Li Moliang didn't know about the plan of Eyangdao to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Yuan Xian is in the upper house of Eyangdao, and there are other spies.

"You should know a lot about the plan of the strange monster to destroy the earth veins." Chen Mu turned to ask about other things.

"I do know a little." Li Moliang nodded after a little hesitation.

"I joined the lower house of Yunchong five years ago. In addition to letting me try to lurk in the Bailian Hall, the first task is to bury a nail dragon pile in Chongmei Mountain."

Dragon pile? What is that?

Chen Mu became interested.

"A special ghost weapon, the shape is a fist-sized ice blue bead." Li Moliang gestured with both hands to describe.

"You just need to reach the designated location and use a Qi-refining practitioner who has cultivated magic power as a sacrifice to open it."

"It will wrap up the Qi-refining practitioner and automatically sink into the ground."

Isn't this the exquisite veins of the City God's Taoist temple? !

Chen Mu's heart trembled.

"There is more than one nail dragon pile, right?" He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Indeed, there is more than one." Li Moliang nodded.

"The Jiapo warriors who joined the lower courtyard of Yunchong with me back then hid several Hades God-transformed warriors."

"Their purpose is probably to bury the nail dragon piles on the periphery of Chongmei Mountain."

"The nail dragon pile in the belly of the mountain has not yet been integrated into the ground veins. I can use it to detect the aftermath of the burial of other nail dragon piles."

"I counted them at that time, there should be thirty-six."

Thirty-six nail dragon piles, that is thirty-six Qi-refining practitioners!

Chen Mu felt heavy.

They should have cultivated immortality and asked for the way to enter and exit Qingming, but now they are buried in the underground consciousness and have become living dead that no one cares about.

If I were caught and buried underground someday...

"Yuan Xian and his gang... deserve to die."

Chen Mu's face was cold.

Li Moliang noticed Chen Mu's cold gaze, and suddenly trembled all over, lowering his head and speaking in silence.

After a while, Chen Mu's expression gradually softened, and he shook his head and sighed.

This was a fight between the Hades Transformation Warrior and the Qi Refiner. Whether it was Li Moliang or himself, they were just a small speck of dust in this turmoil.

Even if he killed Li Moliang and Yuan Xian, he couldn't bring any waves to this turmoil.

Moreover, on the surface, the mortal Daqian targeted the cultivators, but behind the scenes, the Yinming Hades was secretly plotting.

He was just a small cultivator with perfect spiritual perception, and he couldn't get involved in such a chaos.

It was already extremely difficult to save himself.

"The world is difficult..." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Li Moliang looked at Chen Mu carefully, and said tentatively: "The nail dragon pile has been sunk into the ground vein for a year, and now it has been completely integrated into the mountain protection law of the lower courtyard."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Locking Dragon Court will soon drive the strange monster to the Yunchong Lower Court."

"Chongmei Mountain is the core, and it is the place where the strange monster is rampant."

"That thing is very strange. You see, should we hide first?"

Hide?

Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He thought of the thirty-six cultivators who sank into the ground.

Although they didn't know each other, they were all cultivators after all.

I can't sacrifice my life for revenge, but it's okay to destroy the Dragon Locking Academy's plan.

"As long as the Dragon Locking Academy drives the strange monster to the lower courtyard of Yunchong, I will immediately put it in the Five Ghosts Bag, which can be regarded as collecting some interest for you."

Chen Mu's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at the horizon with a smile through the huge jade pet.

The strange monster disappeared out of thin air, and the old man Yuan Xian's face must be very good.

Ha!

...

Eight hundred miles north of Yunze Lake.

Somewhere in the valley, there was a dead silence, and thick fog that was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you suddenly appeared.

On the north side of the mountain, five or six black-robed strong men were staring at the inside of the valley with a nervous expression.

The next moment, more than a dozen hideous heads suddenly flew out and rushed towards the black-robed strong man. One person on the edge couldn't react in time, and was immediately surrounded by dense heads.

The long tail of white smoke under the neck of the head was like a snake, tightly wrapping the black-robed man. Before the people around him could help, he was dragged into the white mist and disappeared.

A short scream accompanied by the faint sound of bones breaking came, and the whole valley became silent again.

"Another... another dead? This is the fifth one eaten by this beast, right?!" A man in a black robe said, trembling all over.

The other strong men were also stiff, afraid of alarming the monsters in the valley, and dared not breathe.

After a long while, the leader in black robe took a deep breath and said hoarsely to encourage morale: "We have reached the edge of Yunze Lake. As long as we lure this strange monster to Yunze Lake, our mission will be completed."

"It's more than a hundred miles away. Be careful and cautious. It will take at most one day."

"Tomorrow, at most tomorrow, we will be able to return to Daqian soon!"

When they heard this, they were immediately delighted, but before they could be happy for a few breaths, a calm voice suddenly appeared behind them: "You can't return to Daqian tomorrow."

They turned around suddenly and saw an old man with a gloomy face. He appeared not far behind them. It was Yuan Xian, the dean of the 29th courtyard of the Dragon Locking Courtyard.

"Dean!" Several people were shocked and hurriedly clasped their fists respectfully.

"The situation has changed. This strange monster needs to bypass Yunze Lake and lead it to the Dianhe Gorge." Yuan Xian said lightly.

The black-robed man's face suddenly changed drastically.

The Dianhe Gorge is 800 miles south of Yunze Lake. In addition to the detour distance, they still need to travel more than 2,000 miles with the strange monster in the valley. I wonder how many of them will be alive by then!

"Master! The location of the mission we took was Yunze Lake, not the Dianhe Gorge." The leading man in black gritted his teeth and said with anger.

Yuan Xian looked indifferent and glanced at the other party calmly.

The leading strong man suddenly tensed up. He was just an old man with a gloomy face, but he felt like he was facing the strange monster in the valley!

"I will follow the orders of the master!" The strong man hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted, and his forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat.

Yuan Xian's eyes turned and he retracted his gaze.

He didn't want to toss. But he had the demon spirit seed in his body. As long as he thought that this strange monster might hurt Chen Mu, the idea of ​​driving the strange monster away from Yunchong's lower courtyard would keep lingering in his mind.

The lower house of Yunchong is very important to the Eyang Dao. In order to destroy its land veins, the Dragon Locking Courtyard has been planning for nearly ten years.

But now...

"We can only bypass the lower house of Yunchong first." Yuan Xian frowned and sighed.

"The loss is huge, and it is very likely to get into big trouble. I don't know if Mr. Gongsun will give me some secret teachings of the Heavenly Demon."

"I am doing this to ensure his safety!"
