“Too undisciplined!”
"Practice for a while longer, then it's time to go back and practice Bai Yang Zhen Jie." Chen Mu secretly told himself.
……
In the evening, Chen Mu returned to the courtyard on the hill with a dejected look on his face.
He couldn't help it and practiced the sand-holding technique in the valley for another afternoon.
"It's not that I didn't work hard, it's just that this skill is so fun."
Chant the spell, aim, and shoot! Hit it!
Once this cycle starts, it's simply impossible to stop.
If it weren't for his limited courage, which forced him to stop and catch his breath after playing for a while, he could have continued playing all night long!
"Even if the world changes, I am still that ordinary otaku with no perseverance." Chen Mu sighed.
Just like in my previous life, I clearly planned to go to bed early and get up early, but the novel was so good that I couldn’t help but read until two or three o’clock.
I don’t know what those self-disciplined gods with strong willpower do.
"Forget it, let's concentrate on practicing Bai Yang Zhen Jie from tomorrow."
"If you practice Bai Yang Zhen Jie for one hour, you will reward yourself with one quarter of an hour... and two quarters of an hour to practice Han Sha Shu."
"Well, how about giving me a little more reward? After all, Bai Yang's true meaning is so dry..."
"Fuck! Your brain is so cunning that you're trying to trick me into practicing the art of holding sand?!" Chen Mu looked annoyed.
"Forget it, just play a few more rounds and then go to bed."
"After all, starting tomorrow, the time for playing sand magic will be limited."
"Ugh……"
Chen Mu replaced the jade plate with a white jade spirit money brand battery, so that the cloud mirage spirit armor technique could be practiced better. He then excitedly began to gain experience in the sand-containing technique.
……
North of the Jilongdao Xiayuan station.
On a cliff tens of meters high.
Lin Su was as light as a swallow, and his toes lightly touched the cliff.
Just like a feather, it slowly but quickly leaped up to the wooden Taoist temple on the cliff.
"Junior Brother Liang, is Supervisor Song here?" Lin Su asked a young man in his twenties at the door with a fist salute.
"The master went to the upper house and has not returned yet." The young man smiled innocently.
"Doctor Lin has something urgent to do," Junior Brother Liang asked curiously. "If it concerns the safety of the lower house, I can activate the sound transmission instrument reserved by Master to urge Master to return as soon as possible."
Lin Su shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, it's just a little personal matter of mine, you can't disturb the abbot's practice for this."
The young man nodded in understanding.
Lin Su suddenly stepped forward and handed the young man a gray cloth bag: "Junior brother, I have something to ask of you."
Junior Brother Liang took the cloth bag in a daze, and feeling the heavy white jade coins inside, he immediately tried to stuff them back in a panic.
But he was held down by Lin Su.
"Don't panic, Junior Brother."
"I just want my junior brother to use the circular light mirror to help me find the trace of one person's Dao Seal."
Junior Brother Liang looked embarrassed.
"Junior brother, you don't know. This person is my direct descendant in the secular world."
"I studied hard since I was young and finally got into the lower house."
"Now that he has mastered the Jade Seed, he was about to become my disciple. But he disappeared mysteriously."
"Brother, I feel so sad!" He couldn't help but burst into tears as he said this.
Junior Brother Liang looked reluctant: "Although it violates the rules of the lower house, this is ultimately related to my brother's blood relationship. I will definitely help if I can."
"But the round mirror was taken away by the master and is not in the lower courtyard."
"Junior brother, I can't help you even if I want to." Junior brother Liang scratched his head embarrassedly.
As he said that, he pushed the gray cloth bag back to Lin Su.
"Just for your kindness, I will be grateful to you." Lin Su looked happy and pushed the gray cloth bag to Junior Brother Liang.
"Take it. It's a gift from you!" Lin Su stuffed it in again, and then asked with concern: "Junior brother, do you know when the dean will return?"
Junior Brother Liang thought for a moment and said, "In two months, the yellow sprout rice will be harvested. By then, Master will probably be back to take charge of the situation."
"Thank you for telling me, Junior Brother." Lin Su clasped his fists in gratitude and then said goodbye and left.
On the edge of the cliff, Junior Brother Liang looked at Lin Su with a simple and honest face as he disappeared into the cliff.
He grasped the grey cloth belt in his right hand, feeling the white jade coin inside.
"Brother Lin is such a good man." He sighed. He took out a large bronze mirror with a human face and wiped it carefully: "I didn't expect that this broken mirror could make me money."
"Where is the direct bloodline?"
"Brother, I'm sure you won't mind spending a little more money. Haha..."

Chapter 202 Tianhe Water Palace
Zi La La...
There was a sound of frying.
Chen Mu kept stepping on the blowing bag with his left foot, and the flame at the bottom of the pot was blown red and fierce.
The rich aroma was roasted out by the high temperature and quickly filled the entire courtyard.
Use a spatula to pick up a piece of bacon and throw it into your mouth, chewing it carefully and savoring it.
"It's a perfect combination of salty and spicy, and moderately soft and hard. It's worthy of me." Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
The meat of exotic beasts is tough and needs to be cut with an ebony sword.
Before frying, special softening measures must be applied.
"This is just an ordinary beast. What should we do if we encounter a stronger beast?"
"Even if my cooking skills can soften the meat of exotic beasts, in order to cook it, I will need a hotter flame. How can I achieve that?" Chen Mu scratched his head as he looked at the red and hot fire pit.
He looked for wood rich in oil and used a leather bag to blow air to make it burn fully. This was the limit of his ability to improve it.
Build a pressure cooker yourself? Or learn a secret method to generate high-temperature flames?
There are all the secrets that can fly. The secret of fire should also be indispensable.
but……
"Learning a secret method of getting angry just to cook?"
"Haha! This is a really promising idea!" Chen Mu himself laughed.
……
Soon, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice were placed on the square table under the wooden shed.
Just as he was about to start eating, there was a knock on the door and Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He stood up and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw that familiar old face: "Mr. Hao, please come in."
Mr. Hao walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Don't think I'm annoying."
"Twenty-four white jade coins are hanging in front of you, and you are more annoying than me."
"As long as you plant the yellow sprout rice well this season, I will disappear from your sight immediately."
Chen Mu shook his head helplessly: "Didn't you tell me that I have a talent for farming? So what are you afraid of?"
"I think you should be more worried about whether someone dares to withhold your bonus and not give you the money."
Old Hao glared at Chen Mu unhappily.
"This rule of the lower house has been in place for who knows how many years. Our Song Jianyuan is also a farmer from the lower house."
"You dare to deduct the bonus? You must be impatient with your own life!"
Also, don't even mention your talent for farming to me. If it weren't for your talent for farming, I could make a lot more money!
"Having talent doesn't mean you can have a good harvest." Old Hao blew his beard and glared, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, if you don't take precautions, they can ruin your yellow sprout rice field."
……
After dinner, Mr. Hao smoked comfortably.
"Your cooking skills are incredible. I feel like the chefs at the Eight Treasures Restaurant in Tianhe Water Palace don't have your skills."
Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Is this why you come here at mealtime every day?"
Mr. Hao's whole body stiffened, and then he continued smoking as if nothing had happened.
Cengfan?
"I came here to teach you how to farm, so what's wrong with eating your meal?"
Chen Mu: “…” Are you so righteous?
This old guy is becoming more and more shameless!
but……
"Tianhe Water Palace?"
"Do you know about the ghost ship?" Old Hao glanced at Chen Mu calmly.
