"It wasn't easy. I'm finally reaching the eighth level. It's a pity that I'm not in the Thirteen States, otherwise I would have completed it long ago."
"I don't know what the Earth Spirit Qi is. Why doesn't it exist in the Underworld and the Heaven Beyond Heaven?"
“Is it because of the different ley lines?”
Chen Mu shook his head, shook off all distracting thoughts, and immersed his mind in the jade seed.
He practiced skillfully and was able to mobilize the magic power, turning it into twisted tiny lines. The lines were interconnected and gradually spread to form a hollow sphere.
The sphere slowly rotated, flickering silver light, and then it shattered with a bang, turning into fluorescent dots and disappearing without a trace.
Chen Mu didn't care. He was already used to the phenomenon of the talisman's collapse. After the boiling magic power calmed down a little, it began to condense again.
Time passed, and I don't know how long I tried. The eighth level of the divine talisman was formed again. Then it shook violently, and the entire loose talisman suddenly had a sense of substance.
Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
The next moment, an invisible wave spread from the talisman.
The peaceful magic power within the jade was affected, and began to rise and fall like waves, continuously impacting the inner wall of the jade, causing the entire jade to expand and widen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's done!"
"There's only one floor left."
"It's a pity that I can't practice it." Chen Mu shook his head.
He had less than six thousand white jades on him, so he did not dare to squander them recklessly.
He didn't know how long he would have to stay in the underworld. Magic power was his trump card, so he had to keep enough white jade coins to deal with emergencies.
"I don't know when I can return to the world of the living." Chen Mu missed the chicken coop again.
……
The central stone hall of Haiying.
Lan Zhang seemed to have never moved, still sitting lazily on the stone chair.
The blood-red pupils became more and more crystal clear, and upon closer inspection, it seemed as if countless blood-colored mists were surging inside them.
At a certain moment, he turned his eyes slightly, and cast his gaze towards the large dark shadow on the left side of the stone hall, and chuckled: "Failed again, Wumu."
"Shut up! I will definitely find Shen Yan tomorrow night!" A series of clear and angry children's voices rang out, and countless eyes suddenly opened in the shadows.
The smile on Lan Zhang's face grew even stronger: "Yes, yes, I believe you."
Swish!
Countless dark shadowy blades suddenly appeared, piercing through the air and stabbing towards Lan Zhang.
Clang! Fire splashed everywhere.
A layer of blood-red light shield appeared out of nowhere, protecting the blue seal firmly inside.
After several consecutive collisions, the bloody and black shadows simultaneously shattered into fluorescent dots and dissipated.
"Don't be so irritable." Lan Zhang chuckled and said, "Shen Yan's true form is the Wind-born Raccoon. He is good at listening and can hide when there is wind. It is normal that we can't find him."
"Aren't you afraid that he will ruin our plans?!" The blind boy snorted coldly.
"I advise you to be more careful. Every day he lives, the possibility of you and I being exposed increases!"
Lan Zhang's lips curled up slightly, with an intoxicated smile on his face: "Don't you think that the feeling of having a sharp blade hanging over your head is very exciting?"
Blind boy: “…”
Damn it! Mad man!

Chapter 452 Shen Yan
Qiandeng City, west side of the courtyard patio.
Chen Mu sat in front of a round stone table, a ball of Forgotten River water and a ball of black flame floating in front of him.
More than ten plates of various dipping sauces were placed on the table, and a piece of black mutton with antlers as big as a human head was placed in the middle of the table.
The right index finger pointed out, and a pale green air blade flew out from the fingertip, like a thin line. A corner of the black mutton disappeared, and in the blink of an eye it turned into countless slices of meat as thin as cicada wings.
The meat flew into the air and quickly passed through the water of the Forgotten River. The tough beast meat that was as tough as leather armor softened instantly. Then it rolled in the black flames, and a strong meaty aroma spread instantly.
He dipped it slightly in the bright red sauce and put it into his mouth. The aroma of barbecue mixed with the spicy taste hit his taste buds, and Chen Mu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"good to eat!"
He tasted more than ten kinds of dipping sauces one by one, taking a sip of Huiyuan soup with black plum juice flavor from time to time to relieve the greasiness, and quickly finished a large piece of deer antler black lamb meat.
Chen Mu raised his head and drank the Hui Yuan soup in the stone cup. He let out a long sigh with a satisfied smile on his face: "This is the life of a human being!"
He longed for a life of eating, drinking and gaining experience every day, but since he came to the underworld, he has been worried and has not lived a comfortable day. Now that he has a safe haven like Qiandeng City, his uneasy heart has finally settled down.
"It's just that eating only meat is a bit greasy." Chen Mu stood up and left the stone table, walking towards a field ridge on the west side of the courtyard.
The ridge was five meters long and three meters wide. It was a vegetable field he had just opened up. Four or five white lanterns were hung on stone pillars, distributed around the ridge, lighting up the ridge.
"The soul-guiding lamp brings light, the jade dew from the underworld provides moisture, the soil from the outer world serves as a breeding ground, and plus the seeds from the mortal world, these conditions are unique anywhere." Chen Mu squatted at the bottom and looked carefully with a smile on his face.
It didn't take long to discover that next to two mung bean-sized soil particles, a tender yellow-green sprout had quietly emerged from the ground.
"Tsk...it really works?" Chen Mu immediately smiled.
……
Inside the secret room.
Shi Dechun looked curiously at the five stone pillars covered with patterns on the wall.
"Brother Chen, I found that I can't hear any movement in the secret room recently. These pillars..."
"Want to know?" Chen Mu's lips curled up slightly.
This is a light-blocking magic ban of Xiao Sancai, which is best at camouflage and concealment. With it blocking the secret room, there is no way you can hear any movement.
"I'm telling you, do you dare to listen?" Chen Mu teased with a smile.
Shi Dechun immediately shook his head: "Forget it, forget it, it's better for me not to know!"
"Just think of it as my magical power." The celestial demon's true form and his flesh and blood body are connected as one, so it's okay to think of the true body as the magical power of the true form.
"It can seal the Qi. With it, the underground secret room will not be at risk of being discovered." Chen Mu was quite confident.
Even with his current attainments in the Diligent Listening Technique, he was unable to see through the disguise of the forbidden Dharma. If it had not been for an accidental discovery at Ganhe Lower Court, Mo Wuzhou would not have been able to discover it.
"The secret room is deep underground and is covered by a forbidden law. Unless someone runs in headfirst, there is absolutely no risk of being discovered!"
The words had just fallen out, and Shi Dechun had not yet uttered his words of praise.
With a slight "puff" sound, a small mound suddenly rose up on the floor of the secret room.
The earth slope suddenly exploded, a black shadow rushed out from it, and a tall and thin figure in a black robe appeared in front of the two people.
Shi Dechun turned his neck stiffly and looked at Chen Mu with a blank face.
Isn't it true that no one will find out?
Chen Mu also looked confused.
I don’t fucking know either.
How come a person suddenly jumped out from the ground?
……
"Something is wrong here!" Shen Yan glanced at the stunned Chen Mu and the others, and walked straight to a pillar to check.
"Were you a Qi cultivator in your lifetime?" He looked at Chen Mu in surprise, "It is very rare to find a Qi cultivator who can be reborn into the underworld."
Shen Yan turned around and looked around the secret room, then nodded with satisfaction: "Do you know who I am?"
Chen Mu and Shi Dechun both shook their heads.
"I'm Shen Yan."
"Military Supervisor? You are not..." Shi Dechun was surprised.
"Killed by a water ape's sneak attack?" Shen Yan curled his lips: "It's just Lan Zhang's trick."
"Want to know?" He looked at the two of them jokingly: "I dare to say it, do you dare to listen?"
Chen Mu's face froze.
Why do these words sound so familiar?
"Forget it. Why should I say so much to you?" Shen Yan shook his head in boredom.
"This secret room is nice. I like it."
"Starting tomorrow, you will start building a secret room for me."
"I need you to build seven of these secret rooms in each of the four corners of the camp. It would be best if they were slightly larger than this one, but secrecy is most important."
"Did you hear it clearly?" Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu indifferently.
Chen Mu pointed at himself blankly: "Me?"
"Didn't you dig this secret room? Of course I'm talking about you!" Shen Yan frowned and stared at Chen Mu with displeasure.
"I advise you to be obedient, otherwise don't blame me... Hey? Hey? Hey?"
Before he could finish his words, he flew up into the air uncontrollably, did a split in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a thud. His face throbbed from the fall.
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party: "What else do you want to do?"
Who are you yelling at?
As soon as he arrives, he starts ordering this and that.
You want me to dig a secret room?
You better do a split for me first!
……
"I ask, you answer, do you understand?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Yan.
