I am grinding experience in another world
Chapter 702 - 690: Expelling PoisonMore than a month later.
Heavenly Pass City, Heavenly Market Street, Hundred Objects Pavilion.
“Are you looking for something to store tiny, living creatures?”
“Are you referring to plague poison?” A young shop assistant in gray clothing approached Chen Mu and whispered.
Chen Mu was surprised this time.
He had only hinted vaguely, yet the assistant guessed what he wanted right away?
This is…
“No need to be surprised, sir.” The young man in gray smiled. “You are not the only one who has been looking for such Magic Artifacts recently.”
“Has something happened?” Chen Mu frowned slightly.
“The star of Heavenly Gate is dimming. There are rumors that it is due to plague poison running amok.”
“People are afraid it will spread to Heavenly Pass Star, so…” The assistant shrugged.
Chen Mu nodded thoughtfully.
He thought of Hu Buwei, who disappeared at Heavenly Gate Star.
Not only had he been freed from dividing his Daoist Cultivation gains, but he also received a refund. It seemed that something serious indeed happened at Heavenly Gate Star.
Unfortunately, the star was now sealed off; no one could get in or out, so nobody knew the exact situation.
“For storing plague poison, I recommend the Seven-Star Jade Purifying Bottle,” the young man in gray suggested.
“We also have seven or eight kinds of Detoxification Pills for various plague poisons.”
“What do you think…?”
“I’ll take one Jade Purifying Bottle and one of each Detoxification Pill,” Chen Mu said after a moment of contemplation.
He suspected these miscellaneous Detoxification Pills were just a gimmick by the Hundred Objects Pavilion to profit from people’s fear.
But what if they were actually useful?
He wasn’t afraid of Yellow Millet Plague Poison, but plague poisons existed in many forms.
Lu Shenjun had wielded the Plague Immortal Flag for hundreds of years. Who knew what kinds of plague poisons he had refined?
“A total of ninety-six Daoist Cultivations and two hundred forty White Jade,” the young shop assistant said with a smile.
Ninety-six Daoist Cultivations?
That was not cheap at all.
Luckily, he no longer had to divide his gains with Hu Buwei; otherwise, spending this amount of Daoist Cultivation would have made him hesitate.
…
Late at night.
Yangdu Square, Jiwei Courtyard.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged beside a low couch. On a square table before him was a porcelain plate holding a walnut-sized piece of white Green Jade Snail Meat.
He activated his Truth Listening Divine Power, and a faint, barely audible rhythm of life entered his ear.
“The observation is still so vague; this won’t help in removing the demon poison,” Chen Mu shook his head.
If he couldn’t see it clearly, how could he ensure the demon poison was completely removed?
With a thought, his Spirit entered the armored Giant Spirit Divine, who materialized cross-legged on the other side of the table.
Chen Mu directed a part of his Spirit into the Giant Spirit Divine, naturally activating the Truth Listening Divine Power.
The previously unclear demon poison aura immediately became crystal clear.
What had once been like looking through frosted glass now became a view through transparent glass.
“The Thousand Mountains Sutra indeed has its ways,” Chen Mu couldn’t help but smile.
During these days, while cultivating the Plague Immortal Technique and refining his Daoist Foundation, he had not forgotten to study the Giant Spirit Divine.
He discovered that the Giant Spirit Divine, like a clone, could perform Qi Refinement Secret Techniques.
Especially Secret Techniques from the same Thousand Mountains Sutra, which were executed even more smoothly than when he performed them himself.
“No wonder it’s a technique that can harm Primordial Spirit Gods. Using the Giant Spirit Divine’s perspective, demon poison can be detected clearly,” Chen Mu laughed, his Mana surging like a tide.
In his Jade Seed, the True Meaning Talisman enveloped by the green mist of the Plague Immortal Technique began to glow.
An invisible Exotic Force appeared, enveloping the Green Jade Snail Meat on the porcelain plate.
The tiny life forms scattered across the snail meat immediately started to drift slowly.
Like fish sensing food, they swam toward the Exotic Force of the Plague Immortal Technique.
“The Plague Immortal Technique really works against demon poison!” Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.
But soon, he realized he was too optimistic.
Most of the demon poison did indeed approach the Exotic Force, but at the edge of the snail meat, they stopped and showed no sign of leaving the meat.
Some even drifted back into the depths of the snail meat.
“There is attraction, but not strong enough.” Chen Mu mused.
“Then let’s push it further!”
He immediately infused a golden, sand-like Jade Cicada Qi into the Exotic Force of the Plague Immortal Technique.
As if undergoing some transformation, the demon poison that had returned inside the snail meat suddenly rushed to the edge.
Chen Mu merely extended the Exotic Force slightly into the meat, and it was like a hand touching flour; it immediately stuck to the demon poison.
He then easily withdrew it, sealing it into the Seven-Star Jade Purifying Bottle.
“I did it!” Chen Mu grinned.
The originally mid-level Fifth Rank Plague Immortal Technique was insufficient on its own.
But combined with the Jade Cicada Qi, the effect was enhanced much like adding sugar to black gunpowder, making it immediately effective against demon poison.
…
Noon.
Demon Dispel Alley, Xin Si Courtyard.
As usual, Chen Mu dealt with two Green Jade Snails and then lay in a rocking chair, gazing at the two entries on the gray wall before him.
Jade Cicada Secret Scripture: 4953/10000/Sixth Rank;
Plague Immortal Technique: 5332/10000/Fifth Rank;
Though he lacked Replenishing Origin Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine, he had Rejuvenation Pills for replenishment. Over the past month, his practice of the Jade Cicada Secret Scripture had remained steady and progressing.
He spent most of his remaining time practicing the Plague Immortal Technique, and its proficiency soared.
Now at mid-Fifth Rank, it was not yet wholly effective on its own against demon poison, but combined with Jade Cicada Qi, it could remove it.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu immersed his Spirit into the Shadow Pupil of Thousand Lanterns City.
At this moment, a dozen iron cages hung under the eaves of a wooden building, containing Poison Dragon Scorpions that had eaten the snail meat, either sleeping or crawling within.
“It looks like it really worked.” Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.
Last night, he had consecutively removed the demon poison from over ten pieces of demon beast meat, feeding them to these Poison Dragon Scorpions for testing.
After a night, the Poison Dragon Scorpions were unharmed, indicating that the Plague Immortal Technique had effectively removed the demon poison from the demon beast meat.
“To be safe, I should observe the Poison Dragon Scorpions for a few more days.”
“But I can now start considering large-scale procurement of demon beast meat.”
Chen Mu looked up slightly, glancing at the short, plump Steward Wu who had just entered the courtyard.
“For purchasing demon beast meat, I’ll have to rely on this rotund fellow.”
…
“You want to buy demon beast meat? Unprocessed demon beast meat?”
“No problem!” Steward Wu agreed without hesitation.
“But I need a lot,” Chen Mu said with a smile.
“No matter how much, it’s no problem.” Steward Wu casually waved his hand while deeply examining a Green Jade Shell.
“What if I want all the demon beast meat processed in Xin Si Courtyard?” Chen Mu said playfully.
The demon beast meat processed in Demon Dispel Alley was sent to Heavenly Workshop, where it was an essential ingredient for refining Essence Pills.
If the quantity was smaller, it wouldn’t matter. But if none were used, that would be unacceptable.
Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Mu’s request, Steward Wu immediately stood up, his face serious.
Seeing his reaction, Chen Mu couldn’t help but secretly laugh.
He didn’t actually need that much meat; he was just looking for an excuse to cast the Nightmare Victory Spell!
By buying a large amount of unprocessed meat, this rotund fellow was sure to guess he intended to remove the demon poison.
If this information leaked, it would be a never-ending trouble, so he needed to be cautious.
“Xin Si Courtyard has forty-nine Demon Dispel Daoist Soldiers, processing over thirteen hundred pounds of demon beast meat daily. Are you sure you want it all?” Steward Wu asked solemnly.
“That’s right,” Chen Mu laughed cheerfully.
No way, surely you can’t provide that much. Go ahead, refuse me.
That way, I could use the Nightmare Victory Spell to make you obey.
“That’s over thirteen hundred pounds of demon beast meat!” Steward Wu frowned.
“Is it enough?” He earnestly asked Chen Mu.
What?
Chen Mu was taken aback.
“If it’s not enough, I have connections at Dingyou Institute and can get you another thousand pounds of demon beast meat.”
Chen Mu: “…”
Wait, aren’t you going to refuse me?
At least ask what I’m doing with it.
With you being so cooperative, how could I bear to cast the Nightmare Victory Spell on you?!
