"The time is approaching, I have to keep an eye on it closely."
"Yes!"
……
Eleven days later.
Nanyang Prefecture, Chen’s House in Linhengfang.
The Soul-Locking Spell level successfully broke through to the third level.
While improving his proficiency, Chen Mu specially made a batch of secret medicines for the herbalist.
Several large vats in the old house by the river came in handy again.
Seven large tanks are filled with live fish. In addition to normal feeding, the herbalist's secret medicine is also added in proportion.
The live fish grows at a speed visible to the naked eye. It has a violent temperament, great strength, and vigorous blood.
Chen Mu did not try it immediately, but continued to accumulate experience in the Ghost Locking Curse.
Twelve days later, the Ghost Locking Curse broke through to the fourth level.
His control over the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains Curse increased greatly. Chen Mu resisted the urge to test it and continued to brush upwards.
The sixth day of the sixth month in the 641st year of Daliang.
The Ghost Locking Curse finally reached the fourth level.
Chen Mu summoned a gray wall and searched from top to bottom twice but couldn't find the ghost-locking curse.
With a thought in his mind, the intention of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains Curse emerged in his mind.
“It seems to have grown a bit.”
"They actually merged into one?" Chen Mu was full of surprise.
What is this? A plugin or a patch?
Chen Mu couldn't help but admire the person who created this secret method.
"You really dare to think and do it."
"It seems that the Soul Locking Spell can not only refine the essence, but also control the five ghosts and perfect the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains Spell."
"Great!"

Chapter 119 Rent
June 641th, st year of Daliang.
Nanyang Prefecture, Shanglinfang. An old wooden house by the river.
A cloud of black smoke was swirling in the air.
The next moment, it dived into the water tank by the wall, then flew out and dived into the water tank next to it again.
The fish that had been made ferocious by the secret medicine seemed to sense something was wrong and jumped around wildly.
The water tanks were banging loudly. One even jumped two meters high and easily jumped out of the tank.
The black smoke was like a greedy snake. It reached into the air lightly and the high jumping fish disappeared.
In just five breaths, all the live fish in the seven tanks disappeared.
Chen Mu stared closely at the ghostly black smoke.
His attention was focused on the Five Ghosts Bag. A ball of green bean-sized red mist emerged.
"It will be much easier this time." Chen Musong took a breath and dispersed the black smoke.
Fed with secret medicine, the living fish have vigorous blood and energy, and more essence is refined.
The Ghost Locking Curse is complete, and Chen Mu’s ability to snatch food from the ghost’s mouth is even stronger.
"Finally, it's no longer as big as a sesame seed."
Although it was still in the state of mist, it was still a long way from condensing into liquid. But at least it became as big as a mung bean.
"After a few more... a dozen times, I should be able to practice a drop of Zhaodianhong." Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
“Got to keep catching fish.”
Chen Mu took out the drunken bait, cast the bait as usual, waited, and caught the fish.
He filled seven water tanks and half-filled the feeding shaft until there were fewer and fewer fish in the pond.
"Let's raise some first." Chen Mu looked at the big water tank thoughtfully: "Buy some live pigs?"
"Forget it, let's pay off Jiejia's debt first." Chen Mu shrugged.
The Soul-Locking Spell is complete, and Zhao Dianhong is about to be mastered. I am happy today, so I will go to Chunfeng Tower... Well, to find out some news in the world.
……
Taipei City, Chunfeng Tower.
In a corner cubicle on the first floor, Chen Mu was eating a table full of food with a look of disgust on his face.
As my cooking skills improved, my tongue became more sensitive. I used to eat good food at Fanlou, but now I can taste all kinds of flaws.
Although it wasn't as delicious as what he cooked himself, Chen Mu still cleaned up plate after plate.
Not wasting food is a habit he instilled in himself by his parents in his previous life.
No matter how much rice is in my bowl, I have to finish it all unless I can’t eat any more. But my parents always think they are not full, so the food is always overflowing and needs to be compacted, so…
It was natural for him to grow from a little fat boy to a big fat boy.
"It's still better now. I won't get fat no matter how much I eat." Chen Mu happily looked at the graceful figure of Miss Yutao on the stage.
Five paper ghosts were running around the hall.
The dim lights, the laughter, and the paper figures lurking in the shadows give it a weird feeling of a group of demons dancing wildly.
Chen Mu, however, enjoyed it and easily controlled the paper figure to find out what interested him.
"The Jinghong Gang failed in their fight against bandits in the north, so they recruited a group of people to help."
“The salary has more than doubled.”
"I won't go. This money is for buying life. I can get it but not spend it."
Chen Mu nodded. This gangster was still very clear-headed. They were not going north to suppress bandits, they were going to risk their lives to fight evil spirits.
"I heard that as long as you reach the bone-changing stage, you will be given four dragon-transforming pills immediately."
"Four?!"
"Then why are you still drinking? Come on, go and sign up!"
Chen Mu couldn't help but shook his head. I just praised you for being sober, but I didn't expect you to fall for four Hualong Pills.
"The harm done to the aristocratic families is profound." Chen Mu sighed.
All the Jianghu men regard Huanglongdan as a miracle drug. However, few people know its hidden dangers. If Jiejia hadn't told him, Chen Mu himself wouldn't have known.
The Daliang underworld has been controlled by the aristocratic families.
"It is said that Tangshan Camp is also stepping up its recruitment efforts. They also give the Dragon Transformation Pill and a large sum of money for settling in. They also give free rein to practicing the Shape Technique."
"Forget it, I don't really want to go. The military camp management is too strict. I might as well go to the Jinghong Gang."
"It's not that bad. After all, Tangshan Camp belongs to Magistrate Shangguan. It will definitely be more convenient for outsiders like us to join Tangshan Camp and live in the local area."
Chen Mu shook his head and took back the paper figure.
"They are all sugar-coated bullets." He would not fight to the death.
"Where should I go to practice the form-building technique?" The white jade toad is about to achieve perfection.
He only had a copy of the Heavenly Snake Form Training Technique in his hand.
With his increasingly rapid training speed, he would have no more form techniques to practice in two months at most.
"It's not easy to find an honest seller like Old Man Ge." Chen Mu shook his head.
"Just wait."
"Once you have mastered the Dragon Transformation Pill, with this sugar-coated bullet as a bargaining chip, there will always be someone willing to exchange it."
Chen Mu cleared all the food on the table and drank a can of milk.
At this time, Miss Yutao had already stepped down from the stage to rest, and was replaced by a new plump beauty.
Chen Mu took a closer look and prepared to leave.
"I heard that the Zhang family in the inner city colluded with Chao Tianwang, the rebel army in Liangyue Prefecture in the north, and resold salt, iron and grain to them."
"Keep your voice down. Don't dare to talk nonsense."
"What are you afraid of? With the Shangguan prefect suppressing us, who dares to mess around?"
"The Zhang family really deserves to die. They gave weapons and food to King Chao. What if he attacks Nanyang Prefecture?"
"Yes, I heard from those who came here to seek refuge that this Chao Tianwang is ruthless and cruel. He massacred the entire Liangyue City! How cruel!"
"The big families in the inner city don't care about our lives. When the world is in chaos, isn't it the time for them to make a fortune?"
"Just wait and see. Magistrate Shangguan will never let them off easily."
Chen Mu slowly took back the paper figure.
He left Chunfeng Tower with a frown on his face.
Zhang family? Shangguan Ji?
"The city of Nanyang is not peaceful either." Chen Mu sighed in his heart.
"How come we are caught up in such a chaotic world?"
He changed his appearance, clothes, and route along the way, and walked slowly towards Lin Hengfang's home.
