My Experience In the Otherworldly Liver

Late at night, in a cave on a cliff.

There is a huge bay window one meter deep on the stone wall on the left side of the cave entrance.

Chen Mu leaned against the window frame and sat on the flat and wide stone windowsill. Looking out through the transparent jade window, the night sky was bright with stars.

The iterative armor plan failed. If you want to get rid of the potential risks of the contract, the most cost-effective method is still to refine the Peach God.

Unfortunately, in the past few days, the nine Zhuyu magic swords have been wandering in the Prison Valley, but have not found any exotic peach trees.

"It's all because Old Man Hu is too greedy."

"I don't know how many people are refining Peach God."

"So many exotic peach trees, all of which have had their cores hollowed out, really..."

Chen Mu shook his head, feeling very annoyed.

"How about... stealing someone else's Peach God?"

Chen Mu was eager to make a move.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up the idea.

Once the peach wood core is refined into the Peach God, it is already connected to the mind of the refiner. If one wants to erase the connection between the two and refine it a second time, the failure rate is probably extremely high.

Not only would the massive effort to snatch the God of Peach be of little use, it might also attract investigation from the Baihuan Sect.

"I'm a good person. How could I do something like beating people up and stealing treasures?" Chen Mu said righteously with a serious face.

"At worst, I can wait another year."

According to the Nine Lives Division Technique, after the ink-white wooden core is taken away, it will reappear after being nurtured for more than a year.

Although waiting for another year would mean missing the latest recruitment of Taoist soldiers from the Qianji Sect, Chen Mu had no choice but to do it.

"Just because I'm honest doesn't mean others will be law-abiding."

"If you haven't mastered the means to deal with the backlash of the contract, you can't go to Qianji Sect."

"It's just a delay of a few years. I can afford to wait."

Chen Mu made up his mind.

Compared to other Qi Refiners, I am very young and would rather wait a few more years than take any risks.

…

Having made up his mind, Chen Muxin also calmed down.

Go to Qiuyun Valley on time every day and play the role of an ordinary Taoist soldier seriously.

He had the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Technique to assist him, so he didn't need to figure out how to solve the demon. The saved time was not wasted, but he carefully studied the Nine Lives Division Technique.

This is the key secret technique to deal with the backlash of the contract, and it is never too much to be proficient in it.

As the days passed, five of Lu Han's twelve Taoist apprentices had already walked out of the Prison Valley and entered the Grinding Stone Workshop to practice the next step of exorcising demons.

Chen Mu also followed the trend and slowly increased the number of demonic stones he excavated every day, maintaining it at an inconspicuous lower-middle level.

…

In the Qiuyun Valley, the fog was still there, and the sound of pickaxes hitting rocks could be heard continuously.

Lu Han walked slowly with his arms folded, constantly inspecting his Taoist apprentices and stepping forward to explain a few words from time to time.

The proficiency in magic is related to the speed at which Taoist soldiers can earn Taoist merit. He has a part to play in this, so he cannot help but pay attention to it.

Soon they arrived at a remote corner, and from a distance, a young man in gray tights came into view.

The other party swung the pickaxe in his hand rhythmically, the tip of which flashed with a faint green light, and the dark stone wall was hit, causing sparks to fly.

Lu Han approached with a sour face, and when he saw the evil stone covering half of the wicker backpack, his expression softened a little.

"It would have been better if it had been like this earlier."

"If he had been so diligent in practicing the art of exorcism from the beginning, he might have entered the Grindstone Workshop by now."

"But it's not too late now. As long as I keep up this progress, I may be able to pass the assessment and sign the Taoist Soldier Contract by the end of this year." Lu Han thought about it and couldn't help but smile.

He walked forward slowly, and just as he was about to say a few words of encouragement, he saw the other party swiftly shouldering the backpack and picking up the pickaxe and walking away. Judging from the direction, it was obvious that he was going to leave the Prison Valley!

"Chen Mu, where are you going again?!"

Lu Han's face suddenly turned dark.

No, I was just about to praise you and you just gave up?

He immediately strode forward and stopped Chen Mu.

"Senior Brother Lu?" Chen Mu looked surprised, as if he had just discovered Lu Han.

"I'm going to Wanjing Cave." He responded honestly.

"You've been in Baihuan Sect for almost half a year, and you still haven't seen enough of the secret techniques in the Sutra Cave!" Lu Han blew his beard and glared.

"I haven't read those secret arts for a long time." Chen Mu lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I went there to let Elder Hu Buwei teach me how to practice."

Hu Buwei? Teach you to practice?

Lu Han was a little confused.

When did Mr. Hu start his new business?

How come I don’t know?

"Elder Hu said he has a secret method for practicing the art of exorcising demons. If I learn it, I will be able to make rapid progress immediately."

“He was reluctant to pass it to me, but I didn’t get discouraged.”

"As long as I spend some time trying to persuade him, I can always get him to give in."

"Once I get the secret, I can break a small demonic stone with a flip of my hand. This is much more profitable than practicing hard in the Prison Valley." Chen Mu opened his mouth seriously and started to talk nonsense.

Bullshit secret scripture!

That old man just wants to cheat you, Bai Yu!

Lu Han suddenly became furious.

You quietly opened a new business and didn’t give me a share of it?

He's already half buried in the ground but he's still so greedy, you damn black-hearted old man!

"Brother Lu, what do you think?" Chen Mu asked carefully.

"Get out!" Lu Han waved his hands repeatedly.

Chen Mu smiled, bowed, turned and left.

It's better to be angry. If I'm not angry, I won't go to Hu Buwei to question him. If I don't question him... how can I cause trouble for that black-hearted old man!

Humph!

If you want to blame someone, blame that old guy for selling too many Nine Lives Division Techniques and charging me three hundred more white jades.

This is the price!

Chen Mu, carrying a backpack and humming a little tune, left Qiuyun Valley leisurely.

…

The circular Qiuyun Valley is located in a crack in a cliff somewhere in the southwest direction.

A palm-sized red flying blade floated quietly in the air.

call!

There was a slight sound in the air, and Chen Mu, who had just escaped from Lu Han, appeared here.

He reached out and took down the magic sword Red Feather, and walked quickly to the center of the gap. There was a peach tree with dark branches and leaves, but only the flowers were silver.

With one hand on the trunk of the peach tree, Chen Mu closed his eyes, contracted his Di Ting magical power, and used all his strength to push the inside of the alien peach tree.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour... two hours...

Chen Mu just stood in front of the peach tree motionless.

At some point in the middle of the night, the stars in the sky twinkled brightly.

A subtle breath suddenly appeared in Chen Mu's mind.

“Found it!”

Chen Mu was overjoyed.

To refine it, Lord Peach needs an inky silver peach wood core on the surface, but the essence lies in the special power gathered in the peach wood core.

But this power is strange, ethereal and hard to find. Without the core of peach wood, it is difficult to detect.

Chen Mu also had enough contact with the seventy-three Peach Gods because he had trained them. And because of his wonderful listening ability, he was able to slightly detect their aura.

Ever since the peach wood core disappeared, he had released the Zhuyu magic sword and kept a close watch on the exotic peach tree. After nearly a month of waiting, he finally found some clues today.

"The mahogany core is just a carrier, the ethereal power is the core."

"As long as I find the source of the power, I can train as many Peach Gods as I want!"

Chen Mu immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart, and prepared to follow the direction of the breath and use his escape technique to find the source.

Driven by the power of the Yin Spirit, he turned invisible and raised his legs to sneak under the ground.

clang!

A loud bang sounded in the gap, and Chen Mu staggered backward as the air wave rolled.

He felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

The Five Elements Escape Technique, which had always been successful in the past, hit a wall today.

This escape method comes from the Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body, which allows Chen Mu to blend into the surrounding environment, and it is easy to enter water, sit on fire, fly into the sky, and escape into the ground. The speed may not be as fast as the Rainbow Light and Dark Wind Escape, but it can adapt to various environments.

now……

"Is it because of the demon stone?"

Chen Mu found the reason instantly.

As the headquarters of the Baihuan Sect, the demons captured by the Qianji Sect were sealed at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain. The stones at the bottom of the mountain were permeated with the infinite demonic energy all year round, and whole pieces of them turned into tough demonic stones.

The stone was filled with demonic energy, as if it were part of a demon's body. The Five Elements Escape Technique could escape into inanimate objects such as mountains, rivers, etc., but it could not escape into living things such as a demon's body.

"Try to hide in the peach tree. Follow the underground roots and maybe you can get deep into the ground."

Chen Mu took a deep breath, activated the Five Elements Escape Technique, opened his arms and crashed into the peach tree in front of him.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, a repulsive force that was even more domineering than before came over him, and Chen Mu immediately fell to the ground with a thud.

"How come this repulsive force is even stronger than the demon stone?!"

“This shouldn’t be the case…”

Chen Mu stood up and walked around the peach tree.

"I'm afraid I still have to rely on the Three Yin Demon Killing Technique!"

He looked down at the dark and hard ground, as if it were made of cast iron.

"It's not impossible to dig a hole directly into the ground. But it's too conspicuous and there will be traces."

"Maybe I can try using the demon stone pickaxe." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

"The mining pick can cover the sharp blade at the front with the power of dispelling magic. If I cover my entire body with the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Magic..."

The next moment, a layer of dark green transparent light ball rose around Chen Mu.

Immediately, the ground beneath his feet softened, and the originally iron-hard demonic stone ground suddenly turned into soft sand.

The Yin spirit's divine power trembled, and the Five Elements Escape Technique was activated. The already soft ground seemed to have turned into a pool of melted oil.

With a whoosh, Chen Mu fell deep into the ground without any hindrance.
