A hemispherical bone shield that seemed real and illusory suddenly appeared in front of him.
The stones that came at high speed were immediately bounced away.
"The Soul-Nourishing Mantra nourishes the spirituality of the magical weapon, so it can allow Yang Cuo to protect his body independently?" Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
For other secret arts, one must initially use incantations to form temporary talismans, which are then used to activate the secret arts or magical instruments.
Yangcuoyincha itself has the effect of a jade tablet. After being injected with magic power, it can replace the effect of the spell and form a temporary talisman.
It is equivalent to replacing the step of chanting spells with a simple method of transferring magic power.
After the Soul-Nourishing Mantra entered the second stage, it unexpectedly gained more spirituality.
This allows it to proactively detect attacks and autonomously draw mana into the bone ball.
The casting steps are further reduced.
The process is fully automated.
Even Chen Mu was saved.
"Isn't this a magical version of the spiritual armor?" Chen Mu was happy.
After a careful list, Chen Mu discovered that he had unknowingly put on several layers of defense for himself.
First came the black smoke that came with the spiritual armor, then the jade seed spiritual light, then it was the Yangcuo bone shield, and finally there was a layer of spiritual armor technique to train bones of steel.
Occasionally, you can use Qi Ban Baili to act as a defensive force field.
"These layers of defense...haha!"
When he was practicing various body-building techniques, he wanted to keep stacking armor to make himself a big muscular man who could carry a lot of weight and fight well, but he failed.
Now, an alternative type of stacked armor has been developed.
Whether I can fight or not is another matter, but I can definitely handle it.
“It’s a dream come true.”

Chapter 284 Underground
One day half a month later.
Underground cabin.
Chen Mu stood at the end of the tunnel, and a dark crack half a person's height appeared in front of him.
Gusts of cool air hit my face and I could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.
Chen Mu was surprised: "Could it be that this gap is connected to an underground river?"
Chen Mu was delighted: "If we can find a way along the Yin River, we won't have to go through the trouble of digging a tunnel."
Although he had this idea, he was not in a hurry to drill down.
The spiritual energy of the earth nourishes all kinds of strange and bizarre beasts and monsters. What if there are some strange and ferocious beasts hiding down there?
Chen Mu immediately dug a large piece of stone from the rock next to him and blocked the entrance of the cave.
"We have already dug this far, so there is no need to rush. We can use the five ghosts to slowly explore forward."
……
After another five days, Chen Mu slowly widened the crack and dug down bit by bit, and finally came to a dark space.
The sound of water became louder and louder.
Chen Mu activated his Qi to block a hundred miles of air, and a fluorescent algae lamp as big as a human head slowly floated up.
The bright white light illuminates this underground cave that has existed for who knows how many years.
The cave is long and narrow, generally running north-south. Its area is about the size of two basketball courts, and the top of the cave is about two or three stories high.
Weird stalactites are scattered everywhere, and below is a stream more than two meters wide, which can probably only be a stream.
The water flow originates from the rock cracks at the top of the north side, flows into the one-person-high rock crevice below the south side and disappears.
"We can dig a tunnel quickly by widening the cracks in the rocks following the flow of water."
Chen Mu made up his mind that if Leng Yuechan really came to take revenge and a big fight broke out, he would just go underground.
The sense of crisis that Leng Yuechan had brought to him earlier suddenly dissipated for the most part.
……
As time goes by, the weather gets colder.
If calculated according to the Liang calendar, it is already January.
After one night, the entire Pengyue Mountain was suddenly covered with heavy snow.
There was a cold wind outside, but it was warm as spring inside Chen Mu's wooden house.
A stone stove was placed under the east window, with flickering flames in the gaps of the stove cover.
By the stove, Shang Huan looked left and right.
The exceptionally thick cylindrical stone chimney, the two transparent pipes leading to the bottom of the floor, and the gurgling sound of boiling water coming from the chimney from time to time all made Shang Huan very curious.
He stepped on the warm floor again and couldn't help but exclaim: "You still have this ability?"
"How about getting one for me too? I'll give you white jade money!" Shang Huan looked arrogant.
"I'm busy." Chen Mu didn't even look at Shang Huan, and concentrated on preparing food at the kitchen table next to the stove.
"You asked about the Lengyuetan Dojo, don't you want to go there?"
"As long as you make a set for me, I will take you there and I promise that you won't suffer any loss!" Shang Huan vowed.
Suffer?
Chen Mu's heart moved: "What's the point of this?"
He really wanted to go to the dojo. He wanted to lay the groundwork for exposing his cultivation level and wanted to find out in advance.
"Of course there is a difference!" Shang Huan looked proud.
"The Pengyue Mountain Dojo is located on the Shuanggu Mountain on both sides of Lengyue Lake. It is a series of caves carved into the cliffs."
"The closer a layer is to Lengyuetan, the richer the spiritual energy of that layer will be."
"The amount of earth spirit energy in the same cave varies. Even in the same cave, it changes at different times."
"Once there is a difference, it will be profitable for some people." Shang Huan laughed.
"I can let you spend the same money and find the dojo with the most abundant vitality."
"Make a set for me, you won't lose anything, right?"
Chen Mu rolled his eyes, glanced at Shang Huan, and said calmly, "I'm busy."
"Hey!" Shang Huan looked puzzled.
He immediately turned around and glared at Mr. Hao, who was smoking and smiling by the stove.
"It's just what you think." Mr. Hao shrugged.
"Xiao Mu just made a set for me yesterday." He exhaled a puff of white smoke comfortably: "As for the conditions, you should know."
"You old man! You're ruining my business!"
……
The scripture house.
The entrance to the Sutra Cave.
It's snowing heavily outside, but it's spring inside all year round.
Fu Zi sat behind the counter with droopy eyelids, reading the jade slip as usual.
A middle-aged man in his forties with a round face stood in front of the counter and whispered, "Superintendent Song came back yesterday, and it is said that he still found nothing."
"The cold moon toad is good at becoming invisible and can burrow underground, so it's not that easy to find." Fu Zi didn't care.
"I had someone tie up Junior Supervisor Liang and sent the cook to deliver meals to Supervisor Song in his place."
"According to the cook, she seemed to see a bulge under the skin of Supervisor Song's neck, as if there was a bug crawling around."
"But when she looked at it carefully again, it was gone. I'm not sure if it was an illusion."
Fu Zi couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's probably true."
"The tractor worm is an ancient alien insect. It is not that easy to control."
"I guess Song Wuji's cultivation had problems as early as the lower courtyard of Tongtian River."
"Otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly by Chongshan Dao Yang Huan."
Fu Zi couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "We have to help Dean Song and help him find the Leng Yue Toad."
“Does the governor want them to both suffer losses or even perish together?!” The round-faced middle-aged man’s eyes lit up.
"But the Cold Moon Toad is hard to find." The middle-aged man frowned.
Fu Zi couldn't help but curl up his lips: "I have been the head of the Sutra Academy for decades. I am still somewhat useful."
"Wait for me to refine a demon summoning incense, and combine it with the spiritual energy of Lengyue Lake, and then I won't have to worry about the Lengyue Toad not coming."
"Congratulations, Duyuan!" The round-faced middle-aged man smiled and complimented: "The position of the dean of the lower courtyard of Pengyue Mountain must belong to Fu Duyuan."
Fu Zi smiled and waved his hand, sent the round-faced middle-aged man away, and sat alone behind the counter watching the snow.
"Dean? Useless thing."
"What I want is Lengyuetan!" Fu Zi couldn't help but clench his fists.
“As long as I absorb the Yin-Yang mixed earth spirit energy on Lengyue Lake, I will definitely be able to condense the acupoints to perfection and smoothly enter the Yin-Yang cleansing stage!”
"It's a pity that Lengyuetan is too small, only enough for one person to practice." Fu Zi regained his expressionless face: "Then I can only ask Brother Wuji to die."
……
clang!
