NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 395 Half a Year
"Why didn't Senior Brother Mo go to Jade Spring Mountain?" After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Mu asked with curiosity.
As a core disciple like Mo Wuzhou, he had already moved in large numbers to the East Ridge mountains at the beginning of the Upper Court's relocation.
"I received an order from our master to sort out the earth's veins here and to transform Jilong Mountain into a batch of spiritual fields," responded Mo Wuzhou.
Chen Mu glanced at Yuanbao, and understanding dawned on him.
The Cold Moon Toad naturally possessed the Earth Escape Divine Ability and could move freely underground. The Mountain Protection Magical Barrier of Mist Smoke Mountain was initially built with the help of Yuanbao.
"If there's anything you need from me, just say the word," Chen Mu offered eagerly after a moment of thought.
Mo Wuzhou's heart stirred.
He had heard from Senior Brother Liang Yi that it was Chen Mu who helped him explore the underground water veins of Mist Smoke Mountain.
However, Senior Brother Liang had also said that this guy was extremely good at hiding his talents. Why was he so eager this time?
"If you have any requirements, you can tell me straight," Mo Wuzhou said.
"It's nothing major; I just wanted to ask Brother to help sell a batch of Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pills," Chen Mu replied with a sly smile, not trying to conceal his intentions.
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and handed over a gray elixir pill.
"You can make Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pills?" Mo Wuzhou was surprised, examining the pill carefully in his hand.
This was a special All-Disease Pill developed by his master, Rong Qiu, for the disciples from East Ridge. The difficulty in concocting it was substantial, and he didn't expect Chen Mu to know how to make it.
"I wouldn't let Brother work for nothing," Chen Mu assured him quickly.
"You can take thirty percent of the White Jade Coins," Chen Mu offered readily.
He was planning to use Mo Wuzhou's reputation to shield himself from greedy eyes, something he had done before.
Mo Wuzhou felt a jolt in his heart; why did this approach sound so familiar to him?
"The Wood Spirit Boy sold at Peng Yue Mountain, it wasn't you who made it, was it?" he asked, scrutinizing Chen Mu with suspicion.
That was something Gongsun Sheng did; what does it have to do with me!
Chen Mu looked clueless and feigned ignorance: "Wood Spirit Boy? Wasn't it you who had Shang Huan sell it on your behalf, Brother?"
Mo Wuzhou eyed Chen Mu thoroughly for quite a while before he half-doubtingly looked away.
"Aren't you worried that I might swallow your pills?"
"If Brother needs them, please take them," Chen Mu declared with magnanimity.
"Are you really that generous?"
"You're not thinking about giving me a stealthy knock on the head, are you?" Mo Wuzhou cast a glance at Chen Mu.
"How could I?" Chen Mu said with earnest sincerity.
A stealthy knock would hardly suffice.
I'd at least need to test my Vermilion Feather Sword on you.

With Mo Wuzhou's assistance, through the Pill Treasure Pavilion, over nine hundred Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pills were sent to Jade Spring Mountain without causing a stir.
As the close disciple of Rong Qiu, no one doubted the origin of the pills and assumed they were concocted by Mo Wuzhou.
Having previous cooperation on the Wood Spirit Boy, Chen Mu was relatively at ease with Mo Wuzhou.
Of course, it's wise not to be without one's guard.
That night, he still hid in the second underground secret chamber beneath the first underground secret chamber.
Fortunately, it turned out he had been overly cautious.
The next day, Mo Wuzhou brought nine thousand White Jade Coins.
Chen Mu looked at him puzzledly: "Brother? Didn't we agree on thirty percent? How come..."
"The price has gone up," Mo Wuzhou said, looking at Chen Mu, his face impassive but his eyes filled with envy.
He coveted the nearly ten thousand White Jade Coins Chen Mu had just earned.
"You have been so optimistic about East Ridge's development, preparing so many All-Disease Pills ahead of time?"
What does that mean?
Chen Mu was a bit confused.
"That box of your elixirs, you must have been saving up for about half a year, right?" Mo Wuzhou looked at Chen Mu sentimentally, "If it weren't for seeing the potential in East Ridge's future, why would you prepare the All-Disease Pills in advance?"
Chen Mu gave him a strange look.
He had only spent a total of seven days, including the time taken to dig the secret chambers, to make that box of All-Disease Pills.
And he still found it slow.
Half a year?
Chen Mu glanced at the experience points that were now filling the gray wall and suddenly realized.
This was the power of a Limit Skill!
His alchemy skills for the Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill were probably on par with Rong Qiu, the creator of the alchemy method.
What even his close disciple Mo Wuzhou could not do, he had accomplished!
Chen Mu admired the gray wall filled with appreciation.
I really am so diligent!
Facing Mo Wuzhou's curious gaze, Chen Mu began to reminisce pompously.
"A few years back when I first arrived at East Ridge, I was forced by the hardships of life to travel through East Ridge. I was once deeply troubled by the miasma."
```
"Putting myself in others' shoes, I just thought that others must also need Elixir Pills for avoiding miasma and detoxifying."
"After many years of hard work, I finally achieved some success."
"I initially just wanted to make a small profit, but unexpectedly found that the price of Elixir Pills kept rising, so I held on to them for a bit longer. Who knew..." Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders, an expression of surprise on his face.
Mo Wuzhou shook his head and sighed, "Only you dare to think and act on it, seizing this opportunity."
He too could make All-Disease Pills, and on a good day, he could produce more than ten in one day. Unfortunately, he hadn't anticipated the development of the East Ridge Five Mountains, much less the relocation of the Upper Court.
"Good luck, good foresight."
"Where, where." Chen Mu modestly feigned humility.
He almost wanted to bring Mo Wuzhou a chair, let him sit there, and praise him all day long.
"I'll help you sell the Elixir, but you have to help me investigate the underground water veins," said Mo Wuzhou expressionlessly. "I won't let you work for nothing. After the Spiritual Field is remodeled, I'll give you five hundred White Jade Coins."
Chen Mu had intended to help in order to sell off the All-Disease Pills and hadn't planned to take any money, but to his surprise, there was an unexpected reward.
Five hundred White Jade was no small amount, enough for him to live luxuriously and cultivate for a month.
He immediately clasped his fist, "I am at your command, brother."
Without the pressure of White Jade.
He wasn't in a hurry to make Fasting Pills either.
It was just the right time to follow Mo Wuzhou around Jilong Mountain.
...
As the location of the Upper Court, Jilong Mountain's Mountain Protection Magical Barrier was complete and intact, and even if a part of it was damaged by the attacks from the Liyang Path, it was not something Mo Wuzhou could easily alter.
However, constructing a Spiritual Field didn't require significant changes; just setting up the apertures and gathering a little Vital Energy.
Then by connecting the water veins and leading out the water from the Vital Energy-rich Jade Spring to irrigate, the job was done.
Thus, Chen Mu began to shuttle through the underground of Jilong Mountain with Mo Wuzhou, helping him in his search for underground water veins.
Two months later, the relocation of Jilong Mountain's Upper Court was completely finished.
A large batch of newly recruited Lower Courtyard disciples was also successively brought to Jilong Mountain.
Just like the initial development of the East Ridge Five Mountains, those martial fighters recruited from Da Qian, after being stimulated by the primary Heavenly Demon Rebirth Pill to awaken their Shell Soul Steel Skin, became the best people for planting in the Lower Courtyard.
Under the guidance of core disciples like Mo Wuzhou, the newly recruited disciples began to cultivate the Spiritual Fields of Jilong Mountain.
Starting from Sunrise Three Mountains, first, the redundant buildings were demolished, then trees were cut down, grass and weeds were removed, and rubble was cleared. Below the mountainside, it was soon transformed into neatly terraced fields surrounding the mountain.
The main mountain of Jilong Mountain also underwent minor renovations.
The forests remained, while some useless buildings disappeared.
In their place were small and exquisite Spiritual Fields ready for planting Spiritual Medicines.
With all the support disciples working with great enthusiasm.
Jilong Mountain, which had quieted down because of the relocation, became lively once again.
...
The weather gradually became cooler, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
On the east side of Sunrise Mountain, in front of the gallery of the pavilion, Chen Mu lay lazily in a rocking chair.
After half a year of running around, the Spiritual Fields of Jilong Mountain were basically remodeled.
Below the mountainside of Sunrise Mountain, the dense forests had disappeared, replaced by fields of Yellow Bud Rice; a swath of lush green as far as the eye could see.
Gone was the quiet of the past, but in its place was a sense of openness.
He squinted his eyes, introspecting his Jade Seed Mud Pill.
A silver hollow sphere spun around at its center.
Over the past half year, while he assisted Mo Wuzhou in locating underground water veins, he had never stopped cultivating.
As of today, the sixth layer of the Divine Orifice Talisman once again coalesced completely. In an empty space beneath the ribs on the right side of his abdomen, a mysterious aperture appeared in synchronization with the advancement of the Netherworld Grand Summary.
After this, the grass and trees of the mountains appeared to him with a subtle sense of rhythm, as if he could merge into them unobstructed at will.
"First, merging into the earth, and then into plants and trees?"
"The Five Elements Escape Technique?"
"What kind of creature is this Cloud Mirage anyway, that it knows the Five Elements Escape Technique?"
As he continued cultivating, he had some guesses about the mysterious apertures that appeared in his body.
When practitioners of the Heavenly Demon Path cultivate, the first step is to introduce demonic bloodlines and awaken the innate ability of Spirit Armor Steel Skin.
Then relying on the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique to discern the True Intent of the bloodline, they cultivate Mana.
Next, they open up the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Apertures to transform their bodies.
At this stage, the ability innate to the Heavenly Demon Bloodline may awaken.
Compared to this, the third step, the Opening of Apertures realm, seems very similar to the changes happening within his own body.
He had never consumed a Reincarnation Pill nor practiced the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique. If there was any connection, it might only be due to the Cloud Mirage Spirit Armor Technique.
"For some unknown reason, my body harbors the Cloud Mirage Bloodline."
"And unexpectedly, the Netherworld Grand Summary can facilitate the growth of the bloodline, which is why secret apertures are opening up and innate divine abilities are awakening."
"But the first ability that appeared should have been the Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles. Yet that is clearly a Secret Technique unique to Ghosts."
"Could it be that the Cloud Mirage is a type of Ghosts? But why then isn't it called the Ghost Spirit Armor Technique on the gray wall?"
"Tsk tsk... it's puzzling."
