Several days later, at dusk, on the hillside wooden building.
A slender bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the window of the second-floor meditation room, instantly striking a large tree in the forest that required two people to wrap their arms around.
Puff!
A soft sound was heard as the tree trunk rapidly blackened and dried up. A gentle breeze passed, and the tree disintegrated into ash-white dust and scattered away.
“What a powerful Kui Water Yin Thunder. If it hit a person, hiss…”
At the second-floor window, Chen Mu couldn’t help but feel shocked as he watched the damage caused by his own thunder technique.
ever since Dark Cloud True Method began operating autonomously, Chen Mu had devoted most of his skiving hours to Kui Water Yin Thunder.
Not long after the Divine Orifice Fourth Transition, his thunder technique had progressed.
“It’s a pity this Secret Technique has reached its limit. If it could climb further…”
With a thought, a gray wall appeared before his eyes.
Kui Water Yin Thunder: Limit;
“However, it’s not impossible.”
Yin Thunder Secret Method came from Jilong Road, but Jilong Road was not proficient in thunder techniques. Whereas now, he was in the Goose Sheep Path, precisely famous for its expertise in thunder law.
“Even without a related advanced secret method, there must be other, stronger thunder techniques available!”
“It’s good that I earned a significant amount of Daoist Cultivation from repairing the ship, can’t let it go to waste.”
…
The next day, as the sun set westward.
Pretending to be tired, Chen Mu, along with a group of equally listless workers, left the Pingjiang Dojo.
He didn’t go home but instead headed straight for the Market District halfway up the mountain.
As more Lower Institute Disciples congregated, the Market District became increasingly lively.
In the past, the market would close as soon as it got dark. Now, however, it was brightly lit and bustling with noise.
“Latest information from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, five White Jade per copy…”
“Tongxi Earth Spirit Horn, the ultimate choice for avoiding poisons and detoxing, first come first served…”
“Unseen new edition of the Tongtian River Exotic Beast Treasure Scroll…”
The fact that Goose Sheep Path was preparing to leave Yunzhou was no longer a secret, and various trades related to traversing the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains had arisen.
Just entering the Market District, Chen Mu was immediately attracted by the street hawks’ shouting.
He approached with interest to inquire, and then it was a spree of buying.
After all, he was about to head to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and it wouldn’t do to know nothing.
After quite a while, until the sky had completely darkened, he left the market reluctantly.
…
Above the mountainside, directly leading to the mountain top, on the east side of the broad stone steps, a three-story Octagonal Tower hidden in the dense forest was the main building of the Scripture House.
Just crossing the threshold, rows of bookshelves came into view. Chen Mu’s heart thumped as he looked at the array of Scripture Scrolls.
Using Li Moliang’s disciple Jade Token to quickly register, he made his way directly to the top floor of the tower, where the thunder techniques were stored.
“Moon Eclipse Thunder Scripture,” “Shenxiao Thunder Scripture,” “Kui Niu Secret Manual,” “Five Thunders Treasure Scroll”…
He only briefly inspected them, but the series of thunder techniques dazzled him.
“Truly worthy of a Daoist Sect known for its thunder law.”
Chen Mu compared the techniques and eventually left the thunder section with the Five Thunders Treasure Scroll.
This thunder technique wasn’t the most exquisite, but it had a virtue other similar-level thunder techniques did not have… It was affordable!
Still, it was only relatively affordable.
“Eight thousand five hundred Daoist Cultivation, six thousand White Jade, tsk… really a rip-off!”
Li Moliang had been secretly living in Goose Sheep Path for over ten years, bred Golden Pearl Clam, and practiced Water-Repelling Pearl; even with all those years, he had only accumulated just over four thousand Daoist Cultivation.
“Lucky I took up that job for the Lei Family’s Artifact Refiner, otherwise I definitely wouldn’t have been able to afford this thunder technique.”
“This price is already discounted.”
“If it weren’t for the upcoming relocation, intended to stimulate the enthusiasm of the institute’s students by reducing the price, he wouldn’t have had the chance to exchange at all.”
Chen Mu suddenly thought of Lei Hong, the manager of Hundred Objects Pavilion.
He probably knew where those Water-Repelling Pearls, purchased at a high price by the other party, went.
The Secret Technique was reduced in price, a rare opportunity. Some wanted to buy the Secret Technique, but lacked sufficient Daoist Cultivation. Hence, they had to buy Water-Repelling Pearls at a high price to exchange for Daoist Cultivation at the Hundred Refinement Hall.
Chen Mu had a sudden realization.
He didn’t regret selling the pearls to Lei Hong.
Having experienced a shortage of Earth Spirit Vital Energy, Chen Mu instead placed greater value on White Jade that contained Earth Spirit Vital Energy.
Even if he was now here to exchange for Thunder Law, it was more to use up the accumulated Daoist Cultivation on his body.
After all, why not use it if it’s free?
After choosing the Thunder Law, Chen Mu did not leave immediately; he moved to the Qi Refining Dharma section on the same third floor.
After searching around, he shook his head in disappointment.
“There are many Secret Technique scrolls, but not a single one about the mysteries of Dao Foundation Realm, what a pity…”
With the assistance of the Dark Cloud True Method, and not lacking Primordial Energy, mastering the River Chariot was no longer a challenge.
He wanted to find some scripture notes to understand the situation of subsequent cultivation practices.
“There are two scrolls about Condensing the Divine Orifice, but not much about the River Chariot.”
“Information about the secrets of the Dao Foundation Realm is only sporadically mentioned in some personal notes.”
“I should have expected this; they really keep it well hidden.”
The Qi Refinement Scripture Scrolls are secret transmissions of the Daoist sect, not easily disclosed. Being able to put the Condense Aperture Secret Method in the Scripture Pavilion was indeed rare.
Chen Mu, unwilling to give up, searched for a while longer, but eventually found nothing.
In the end, he left the Scripture House reluctantly, holding the Transmission Jade Scroll of the Five Thunders Treasure Scroll.
In the following days, Chen Mu went to the Pingjiang Dojo to build ships during the day and went home in the evening, but he was not in a hurry to study the newly acquired Five Thunders Treasure Scroll.
That day, in the quiet room on the second floor of the wooden building.
A chubby pill furnace, about half a person tall with three legs and two ears, stood buzzing in the middle of the room.
At a certain moment, with a bang, its lid suddenly popped open.
Twelve elixir pills, the size of longan and the color of amber, flew out and were immediately gathered by Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles, clinking into the jade bottle in Chen Mu’s hands.
“With this bottle of Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill, dealing with the miasma at the outskirts of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains should be no problem.”
The Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill is peculiar; its ability to defend against Poisonous Miasma depends on the types of miasma integrated during its creation. It can defend against any miasma that has been fused into it.
This time, the All-Disease Pill was integrated with the common miasma from East Ridge, which Chen Mu had collected during his time on Jilong Road, and East Ridge was located on the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
“If only I had the miasma from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, it’s a pity…”
The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are vast, filled with toxic miasma and water everywhere, various monsters and fierce beasts lurking within. It’s difficult to enter and even harder to leave; no one can bring out the essence of the poison.
Regretfully storing away the jade bottle, Chen Mu waved and released a half-person-tall pottery statue. Lifting the lid, he revealed a vat full of the essence of grains inside.
He had purchased this from the Market District, spending quite a lot of White Jade.
“I wonder how long it will take to get to Hai Province, better prepare more Fasting Pills.”
He cleaned the pill furnace, added the ingredients, and started the Pill Refining by activating the Wind Fire Pivot Charm. Chen Mu, extremely proficient in this practice, refined the Fasting Pills to Perfection; the operations were as fluid as clouds and water, and as natural and easy as eating and drinking.
“I need to go to the market district tomorrow, find Lei Hong and order a batch of Exotic Beast Meat to stock up.”
Exotic Beast Meat not only satisfies the appetite but can also be used to make Replenishing Origin Soup, which not only nurtures the original foundation but also aids in cultivating the Giant Spirit Divine Secret Technique.
“I’ll also need to buy bedding, pots, condiments, and other household supplies.”
“Yeah, just prepare enough for about a hundred people.”
