Chapter 270 268 100
Night.
Underground Secret Chamber, along with a deep Curse Command, blue flames flickered ceaselessly.
After a good while, Chen Mu stopped practicing.
Fire Cloud Curse: 9930/10000/First Rank;
"Pioneering hunts really hold things up."
Ever since he left the Lower Courtyard of the Tongtian River, he was either traveling or clearing land, greatly slowing down his experience grinding progress.
Experience more on empire
During the day when there were many people around, he could only mutter the United Heart Curse a few times for amusement.
Only at night did he have a bit of free time, but he also had to condense his Mana.
"There's really no good solution," Chen Mu sighed after thinking for a long time.
Even revealing his Illusion Breaking Cultivation was useless.
Those who faced Exotic Beasts at the very front were those Lower Courtyard disciples with Illusion Breaking Cultivation.
"Everyone's in the same boat, endure it for a few years."
He wouldn't get the Condense Aperture Secret Method in the short term, so there was no need to rush into taking risks.
"First, get the Secret Technique at hand to the top."
"Then pick a few more suitable Secret Techniques to increase survival methods."
"Take advantage of the years of turmoil to see if I can save up a bit more money."
Peng Yue Mountain was newly established, lacking everything, and with the right eye for discovery, one could always make money.
Just like this time with the Wood Spirit Boy.
"Can't get carried away, need to consider safety more," Chen Mu warned himself.
On his journey, he had seen far too many incidents of murder for wealth.
"It's a good thing Mo Wuzhou doesn't know my identity."
Each time, he appeared as Gongsun Sheng. His height, weight, face shape, and attire would all be altered.
"One is a mysteriously powerful Illusion Breaking expert."
"The other is an utterly ordinary Lower Courtyard farmer."
"Ordinary people would never associate the two."
Even if the identity of Gongsun Sheng attracted trouble, the identity of Chen Mu would remain absolutely safe.
...
Three days later, the second pioneering squad in Yiyou District.
Chen Mu, Old Hao, and others were leaning in a row against the tree trunks.
Some chatted, some smoked, all leisurely watched a few people carrying big clay jars, driving waves of gray worms to sweep the path ahead.
Chen Mu reached out to pick up a yellow-skinned gourd, took a sip of cool tea, and the stuffy heat brought by the dense forest began to ease.
In his mind, he habitually recited the United Heart Curse.
Inside the Jade Seed, the talisman of the United Heart Curse flickered with a faint light, and the Mana drifting around as if receiving orders, quickly surged to its perimeter.
Gathering, condensing, linking, twisting.
The already complex talisman was suddenly adorned with a few more offshoots.
Chen Mu was accustomed to this phenomenon.
These offshoots were part of the United Heart Curse talisman, and with each practice session, they could be completed.
But due to insufficient Proficiency, they would soon start to disperse on their own.
However, they wouldn't vanish completely, with each session leaving behind something, like the experience progression that he gained every time, making the talisman more and more perfect.
A sudden insight emerged in his heart.
Chen Mu's heart stirred, and he glanced subconsciously at the grey wall.
The materials were fairly common, so their value as strategic reserves wasn't that high.
Hmm... Directly selling the attracting Spiritual Pulp?
After pondering, he shook his head again, "There are risks."
Selling attracting Spiritual Pulp is like selling gasoline, involving a huge supply chain that can't be operated efficiently with too few people.
Yet, with too many people involved, things get complicated and troublesome.
He simply wanted to make a tidy sum of quick, trouble-free profit.
"Let's go meet Shang Huan," Chen Mu decided without further deliberation.
In three days' time, there should be some news from Mo Wuzhou.
...
"One hundred?"
"The first batch?"
In the dense forest outside the campsite of the Yiyou District's fourth reclamation team.
Chen Mu struggled to control his emotions, to keep his voice as calm and gentle as it always sounded.
But...
One hundred Wood Spirit Boys—that was ten thousand pieces of White Jade!
Even after deducting the costs and the shares for Mo Wuzhou and Shang Huan, there were still over eight thousand pieces of White Jade!
One deal, nearly one-tenth of the Condense Aperture Secret Method's earnings?!
And this was only the first batch.
There were definitely more than a hundred reclamation teams!
This...
If only there were a Red Sleeve Square here!
"Indeed," Chen Mu's voice was as placid as water.
With a wave of his right hand, five Wood Spirit Boys appeared on the ground.
"Four for Mo Wuzhou to examine the goods."
"One for you to keep for scouting."
"Tell me, this business won't encounter any glitches, right?" Chen Mu asked with a meaningful tone.
To establish the persona of Gongsun Sheng, he had intentionally adjusted his inflection.
To make his words sound gentle yet tinged with a creepiness that sent shivers down one's spine.
The effect was exceptional!
At that moment, Shang Huan stiffened.
His eyes darted around, and soon after, he trembled as he assured, "Please, Mr. Gongsun, rest assured, I will execute your plan to the letter!"
"I won't cause you any trouble!"
Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed the chubby man had understood his intent.
Finish the order quickly and cleanly, make a quick profit, and then get out.
Making money without any trouble – how wonderful.
He nodded slowly at Shang Huan and continued with that unsettlingly mild voice as he took his leave.
He then drifted away amidst swirling black smoke.
He still had materials to prepare.
One hundred Wood Spirit Boys.
The wood hearts he had prepared earlier were hardly enough.
