Chen Mu stood at the entrance of the cave and looked upwards.
A faint light came from the far west.
That was the top of the Wuyan Mountain, where the Yunding Palace of the Yanxia Sect was located. It was very far away from where he was at the moment.
"The underground Yin River cannot be explored, but the secret passage still needs to be dug."
Fortunately, he had explored the underground environment more than once before, and abandoned the underground Yin River. He quickly planned a new plan.
Relying on the passive listening method to correct the direction, the hole was soon dug through.
"If you can't go underground, then you can just use the escape technique to fly."
Looking at the exit of the secret passage far away from the top of the misty mountain, Chen Mu was quite satisfied.
He stepped back, and the large stone in the shape of a doorway that had been deliberately left behind appeared, blocking the exit of the secret passage tightly.
Even if you look closely, you may not be able to spot it.
……
In the underground secret room, on the soft couch, Chen Mu lay comfortably on the pillow.
Holding a bamboo tube of iced herbal tea, he sipped it with pearl rice stalks while staring at the gray wall in front of him.

My writing ability has just improved, so there won't be any changes in the short term.
On the contrary, it is because of Ge's Notes on Herbs that the art of pharmaceutical preparation has made great progress recently.
Due to continuous alchemy, the Five Qi Hun Yuan Method also successfully entered the third level.
The four skills of cooking, shape-changing, heart-concentrating spell and five-element breath-taking method have also unknowingly reached the final stage of breakthrough.
"Don't worry, there's no need to pick these out separately."
“It’s good to just move forward slowly when things come naturally.”
"On the contrary, because of the alchemy, the Fire Cloud Curse was shelved again."
"It just so happens that the alchemy is on track, and the secret passage has been dug through, so we can allocate more time to it."
……
The square on the hillside of Wuyan Mountain.
In the two-story building, Sun Wuhuan's small discussion meeting was in full swing.
Thirty or forty people were walking around the long tables in the room, talking in low voices from time to time.
Sun Wuhuan was all smiles.
He hired people to impersonate the more than ten sellers here.
The spoils that were secretly acquired some time ago were exchanged for high prices using Taoist skills.
It has been held many times over the past few months and has already made a lot of money.
"Master Du, the two alchemy boys have agreed." A thin man with a wrinkled face approached Sun Wuhuan and said.
"From today on, when they absorb the essence of the five grains, they will adjust and refine it according to the magic talisman you gave them."
The smile on Sun Wuhuan's face became brighter.
"If the essence of the five grains is not right, the fasting pills will have problems."
"That little alchemist is in big trouble now!" the orange-peel-faced man chuckled.
"Don't blame me." Sun Wuhuan chuckled, "I'm not selling fake goods. It would be better if you just come here honestly and spend a little money to buy peace of mind."
"If there's a problem with the Bigu Pill, it's not just a small amount of money."
Ah……
Six or seven thousand Daoist skills.
I really can't bear to be lenient.

Chapter 328 God’s Will
A few days later, deep inside the Yanxia Sect’s warehouse.
A large pile of yellow rice was casually piled on the ground to form small hills about five or six meters high.
In the corner, Zhang Lang and Li Huan, two alchemy boys in their forties, were sitting on bamboo chairs to rest.
"Brother Zhang, are you really going to do this?" Li Huan asked nervously while holding a wooden box.
"Now that the time has come, do you still want to back out?" Zhang Lang frowned.
"But if something happens to Senior Brother Chen, we..." Li Huan still hesitated.
"It's all his fault that he doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness!" Zhang Lang said in hatred, "How dare he refuse Vice-Chancellor Sun's invitation!"
Seeing Li Huan hesitant, Zhang Lang sighed: "We are just two alchemy boys, caught in the middle, what can we do?!"
"I can't afford to offend Senior Brother Chen, but you dare to offend Vice Dean Sun?"
"Compared to the lonely Chen Mu, it is obviously more cost-effective to follow Vice Dean Sun."
"Alas...an unexpected disaster!" Li Huan sighed dejectedly.
A smile flashed in Zhang Lang's eyes.
"do not be afraid."
"This isn't the first time we've sent the Essence of Grains."
"In the past, Chen Mu would only check the weight of the grain essence and would not examine it carefully."
He opened the brown wooden box on the low table beside him, and inside it were small wooden boxes, each as big as a palm and as deep as a fist, neatly arranged.
He took out a small wooden box, opened it and showed it to Li Huan.
"I have also spread normal essence on the upper layer, so I am not afraid of him checking it."
Seeing that Li Huan didn't say anything, Zhang Lang put away the wooden box and said calmly: "We have taken all the Taoist skills, do you still want to return them?"
"Let's do it!" Li Huan gritted his teeth, picked up the wooden box on the low table beside him and left first.
……
Near the entrance of the Yanxia Sect’s warehouse, there is a cave as big as two bedrooms, and its overall shape resembles half an egg cut lengthwise.
The walls of the cave are flat and smooth, as if they were cast in one piece.
At the base of the wall, every two or three steps, there is a pot of waist-high round-leaved shrub.
Its branches are hung with orange berries as big as quail eggs.
At this moment, the berries are emitting a warm light, illuminating the entire cave.
Deep in the cave, Chen Mu was half lying on a soft couch with his legs crossed.
Holding iced herbal tea in his left hand and a beast skin scroll in his right hand, he sipped the tea while pondering the herbal notes.
If he hadn't wanted to pretend that he was refining medicine all night, he would have gone back to his secret room to gain experience.
The warehouse is being rebuilt, and there are too many people and too many eyes, making it difficult to practice secret techniques.
He had no choice but to look at the small notes on herbs to gain some experience in making medicine.
At this time, he was pondering the annotations of yellow rice, and when he looked up, he suddenly discovered that the planting skill could also gain experience!
"If that Vice-Court Dean Sun knew the true value of the Hundred Herbs Note, he would be extremely regretful, right? Haha..."
Just as I was having fun, I heard the sound of footsteps.
Chen Mu immediately put away the scroll and bamboo tube, picked up the black alchemy furnace on the low table, and pretended to clean and check it.
……
"Brother, this is today's portion of the essence of the five grains."
Zhang Lang tried hard to control his rapidly beating heart and walked forward with a brown wooden box in both hands.
Chen Mu took it and weighed it casually, his brows raised: "It's three pounds more than yesterday. Thank you for your hard work."
"You're too polite, senior brother. This is our duty..." Zhang Lang hadn't finished his polite words.
Then Chen Mu opened the big wooden box, took out a small box, picked up a handful of grain essence with his index finger and thumb, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
Zhang Lang felt as if his heart was beating in his throat, and his whole body froze in place.
"Well, not bad." Chen Mu looked up with satisfaction, and immediately saw Zhang and Li who were trembling with fear.
A strange feeling of déjà vu came over me.
Why do I feel like I was a poor student in my previous life waiting for the teacher to check my homework?
