Chapter 414 Nine Apertures

Half a month later.

Late at night, in the deep mountains of Dongling, at a certain section of the upper reaches of the Gan River, a small black-sailed boat floated quietly in the middle of the river.

Tan Tai Zong, wearing light black armor, knelt helplessly in front of a square low table.

"We have people working among the butchers, vegetable farmers, and grain store clerks in the Gukou market. But after so long, we haven't seen that man show up once."

"And the few spiritual fields closest to that hillside are also planted by our people, and we haven't seen that guy go down the mountain at all."

"Young Master, didn't that man die in the house?"

"Go!" The gray-robed middle-aged Lin Su glanced at him unhappily.

Tan Tai Zong looked helpless: "How can he stay in the cabin every day?"

"I admire these Qi-training worms. Don't they get tired of eating fasting pills all day?"

"How do you know he hasn't left the house?" Lin Su sat cross-legged in a large gray robe, tapping the table lightly with his white fingers.

"Young Master, are you saying that he knows some secret techniques like hiding his tracks?" Tan Tai Zong was shocked.

"He probably knows how to change his appearance, otherwise the brothers in the market wouldn't have found nothing." Lin Su looked confident.

"No wonder." Tan Tai Zong suddenly realized.

Then he looked bitter: "He is so cautious, it is difficult for us to track his whereabouts. Do we really need to capture Mo Wuzhou and bring him to us?"

Lin Su shook his head calmly: "Mo Wuzhou and him are just casual friends, it is impossible to expect him to save people."

"Then we..." Tan Tai Zong was at a loss.

Lin Su laughed: "He doesn't care about others, but he definitely cares about himself."

"Send a few people to follow, but don't use your own brothers, hire a few idle people."

"Don't be too conspicuous when you act, but don't be too secretive, you have to let him see."

Tan Tai Zong's eyes lit up: "This guy is so careful, if he finds someone following him, he will definitely react!"

"Yes!" Lin Su's eyes flashed: "Once he finds someone following him, he will either kill him directly or follow him and kill him."

"I guess he will most likely choose the latter."

"In this way, we can lead him into Kunlongjing?" Tan Tai Zong laughed: "Young master is smart!"

"It's a pity that Jin Manzi is too useless, he can even lose people when chasing them." Lin Su shook his head: "If he helps, the success rate of the plan can be increased by another 20%."

...

A small hill deep in the Ganhe Valley.

On the corridor of the wooden house, Chen Mu closed his eyes and lay on a rocking chair to gain experience.

In the jade seed, smoke-like magic power gathered in an orderly manner, and small magic talismans emerged one by one. Then they quickly stacked and woven into slender branches, connecting and extending to the surroundings.

Soon, the entire divine orifice talisman was connected into a net, and a silver hollow sphere appeared.

Chen Mu glanced at it calmly, and then began to review the gains and losses of this operation, quietly waiting for the spherical talisman to collapse.

Each layer of the divine orifice talisman will experience hundreds or thousands of collapses when it is condensed. He has long been accustomed to this process.

At first he was frustrated and complained, but later he realized that this was inevitable.

Every talisman condensed is to shape and perfect the whole person from the inside out. The talisman is easy to condense, but the transformation and transition of the body is very slow. If the shaping is not complete, the talisman is not stable, and collapse becomes inevitable.

Just when he thought that the talisman would collapse again this time, the entire jade seed suddenly shook.

With the divine orifice talisman as the center, an invisible wave spread in all directions. The quietly floating mana suddenly surged like a wave, and the boundary of the jade seed expanded outward under the impact of this mana.

"This is... it's done!" Chen Mu couldn't help but curl up his lips.

After many days of trying, the seventh level of the divine orifice talisman was finally successfully condensed.

At the same time, he felt a throbbing near the gate of life in his lower back, and a new orifice slowly emerged from the void.

"The ninth secret orifice?"

"Double happiness! Haha!"

Before he could check the new secret orifice, the other eight secret orifices actually vibrated. The originally independent secret orifices seemed to have some kind of connection.

This connection was like an invisible network, connecting the nine secret orifices into a whole, and a strong vitality was slowly nurtured in it.

"This feels... like having an extra body..." Chen Mu was shocked: "Could it be the true form of the Heavenly Demon?!"

He had looked up information about the Heavenly Demon in the Sutra Pavilion and was familiar with its cultivation path.

The ultimate goal of its cultivation is to cultivate the true form of the Heavenly Demon and obtain various magical powers.

"Although it is just a prototype, it is obviously the true form of the Heavenly Demon." Chen Mu looked strange: "Should I practice the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation?"

He worked hard day and night to practice the method of condensing the orifices, but he has not yet mastered it.

The external method that he did not practice very hard has now formed the prototype of the Heavenly Demon.

"Tsk..."

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method is difficult and profound."

"After all, it is just a prototype. Without a detailed diagram of the Heavenly Demon's true form, it cannot be practiced."

"Besides, from ancient times to now, it has always been the orthodox way of practicing Qi. After all, the Heavenly Demon Method is just a side door and an external way."

"What's more, most Heavenly Demon Methods are full of demonic energy, which is not the style I want."

...

After he got his mood in order, he had the mind to carefully experience the changes in his body.

The jade seed expanded, the magic power doubled, the protective aura strengthened and thickened, and the rainbow light on the ground was three times faster. These regular changes in the condensation orifice were all within his expectations.

It was more concerned about the connection of the Heavenly Demon's nine orifices.

He found that the Hunyuan Qi began to circulate autonomously between the secret orifices. And as if it had a core, the Hunyuan Qi changed from spreading randomly to moving in an orderly manner.

"Is it because of the true form of the Sky Demon?" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat: "With this kind of pulling, will the Hunyuan Qi still leak out?"

"Yuanbao!"

Chen Mu immediately stood up and called to the big toad squatting in the yard.

The secret techniques such as the breath-barrier for hundreds of miles and the possession of five ghosts were activated one by one.

It was soon discovered that the Hunyuan Qi was indeed locked in the Nine Apertures.

"Well done!"

"If I stop using the Five Ghosts' magical ability to move mountains, the Five Ghosts bag will not open, and its inner Qi will not be leaked. Won't the hidden dangers of Hunyuan Qi be wiped out?!"

"Haha! Now I'm not afraid of being caught and used as experience packs!"

And because the Five Ghost Paper Man and the Five Ghost Bag are two different systems, there is no need for the Five Ghost to carry and store things, and it does not affect his use of magical powers such as Five Ghost Possession.

Chen Mu happily sat on the edge of the corridor, and couldn't help but poke Leng Yuechan with his drooped right leg.

"Yuanbao, is it time to fulfill your promise?"

The big toad looked at Chen Mu doubtfully.

"Go to Yihongyuan!" Chen Mu reminded quickly.

"Quaa?"

"I don't like it? I really don't like it."

"I mainly do it for your face." Chen Mu looked solemn.

"Now that you've said all the nonsense, how can you not honor it?"

"You are a big monster, you can't break your trust!"

Yuanbao: "..."

How shameless!

…

In the end, Chen Mu did not go to Cheng Yihong Courtyard.

Because of Tianhe Water Mansion's white worm boat, it didn't come to Ganhe Lower Courtyard at all.

"It's all Mo Wuzhou's fault!" Chen Mu's face was filled with anger.

"We've been here for so long, but we haven't developed the Lower Courtyard yet. If we make it more prosperous, how could the White Spider Boat not come to the Lower Courtyard?"

"And the Master of Tianhe Water Palace, he doesn't make any money, how can he be so arrogant? No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Sooner or later, you will lose everything!" Chen Mu was filled with resentment.

In the end, he could only eat a big meal for three days in a different way.

As for taking the initiative to go to Tianhe Water Mansion.

Chen Mu never thought about it.

When I go out for a trip, wouldn't it be troublesome if someone kills people and takes money, or I get involved in some conspiracy? This is how it was written in previous life novels. It’s safer to stay at home and not go out!

…

Ganhe Lower Courtyard.

The dojo on the top of the mountain on the north side of the valley entrance.

Mo Wuzhou clasped his fists at an old man in his fifties with gray hair: "Uncle Hu, long time no see."

Hu Quan smiled and looked at Mo Wuzhou: "Senior Sister Rong has a successor, Xiao Mo's cultivation is getting deeper and deeper."

After exchanging greetings, he looked solemn and said, "Sister, I've told you what I'm here for this time, right?"

Mo Wuzhou nodded solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I have selected a location deep in the valley and can start building the dock at any time."

"Very few people come there. It's private enough that you won't be afraid of being discovered."

"Once the mountain at the bottom of the valley is drilled through, we will be able to directly access the Gan River behind the mountain, making it easier to test the ferry."

Hu Quan nodded with satisfaction: "I want to concentrate on building the ship, and I'm not good at fighting. You have to spend some energy to ensure the confidentiality and safety of the shipyard."

Mo Wuzhou clasped his fists solemnly: "Master, don't worry."

"I have refined enough Mu Linglang. When I release it later, the ground around the dock will be full of our eyes."

"There is Uncle Song's demon pet, Leng Yue Chan, underground, and I have also arranged methods in the sky."

"At that time, any disturbance will be discovered immediately."

"Xiao Mo has thought carefully." Hu Quan suddenly showed a satisfied smile.

…

It’s noon this day.

Chen Mu was lying on the rocking chair, taking a nap in the dappled sunshine among the trees, when a sound of mud surging reached his ears.

"Who made the ground turn into steel?"

He was very familiar with this sound. It was this sound when the ground turned from steel to stone.

As he listened carefully to the teachings, scenes within a radius of twenty miles slowly emerged in his mind.

"Mo Wuzhou?"

"Why would he bring people here to drill holes if he doesn't want to practice?" Chen Mu couldn't help but become curious.

But before he could understand the other party's movements, a clicking sound suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

A small wooden horse as big as a palm emerged from the ground and was quickly circling Chen Mu's courtyard. He shook his head and looked left and right, as if he was very pleased with it.

Chen Mu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The next moment, the little wooden horse jumped suddenly and flew over the small courtyard.

Then the little wooden horse fell into the yard as expected and fell on its back.

As it somersaulted, it turned over and jumped up vigorously. When it raised its head, it met Chen Mu's eyes.

Chen Mu: "..."

There are so many big rocks in the mountains for you to choose from!

Why did you choose the most fake one as your foothold!

Chen Mu twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly and waved his hand at the expressionless face of the little wooden horse.

"Hi?"

Mo Wuzhou, who was more than ten miles away: "..."

Hey shit!

He opened his eyes and looked at the hills in the distance speechlessly.

Several months passed, and he thought Chen Mu had not come to Ganhe Lower Courtyard, but he ended up hiding here to practice.

There are so many places in the valley for you to choose from!

You just chose to build a small courtyard near my secret dock!

grass!
