Chapter 371 - 364 Recruitment
Time flew by, and the earth revived in spring.
Above Eagle Grief Cliff, except for a spot of snow at the peak, the mountainside had turned into a patch of yellow-green.
The waterfall at the mountainside had transformed from a slight drizzle into a loud, rushing flow.
With the Second Rank Point Ground into Steel, the secret chamber was once again expanded and sunk deeper by Chen Mu.
Thirty meters below the ground, there was now a space as large as a two-story building with seven or eight bedrooms.
Chen Mu stood in the center of the secret chamber, his mana connecting.
Behind him, a burst of black and red light flashed; a dark red shadow, two meters high and one and a half meters wide, appeared like two gigantic doors.
Chen Mu turned to look and became even more certain that the shadow was a statue of a person clad in armor.
"Giant Spirit Divine?"
"Could this deity really exist?" Chen Mu couldn’t help but think of the Divine Monarch Dong Yue and scrutinized it carefully.
The statue wore a black hooded cloak, with its head and face shrouded in darkness.
The beast-headed armor was fierce, and on the dark red plate armor, subtle dark golden threads were faintly visible.
After looking for a while, Chen Mu actually felt a blood connection with the statue.
"It doesn’t seem to be an illusion."
The Giant Spirit Divine Secret Technique seemed to be different from other secret techniques.
Rather than calling it a secret technique, it felt more like a magic artifact, crafted using his own blood, essence, and mana as materials.
Hidden in an unknown space on normal days, it accumulated strength continuously as Chen Mu performed invocations.
Once activated, it could quickly reciprocate, granting the user tremendous strength.
"Thank goodness, it’s not those spooky ghosts and spirits."
He was afraid that the Giant Spirit Divine, like Divine Monarch Dong Yue, had unfathomable power. What if he unknowingly fell under its spell? How would he handle it?
Brother Liu was a cautionary tale.
Sighing, Chen Mu withdrew the Giant Spirit Divine Secret Technique.
During this process, he also observed carefully, trying to find where the statue was located.
Unfortunately, even with Chen Mu’s eyes wide open, he only saw a flicker of black and red light, and then the statue’s trace was gone.
Using the Giant Spirit Divine Talisman to sense, however, he could clearly perceive the statue’s presence.
"Mysterious."
In the end, his experience was still lacking.
Chen Mu shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.
Perhaps when his strength grew in the future, he might be able to discern the space where the statue resided.
Returning to a soft couch in a corner of his room, Chen Mu picked up the cup of Replenishing Origin Soup from the short table and drained it, staring blankly at the empty cup.
"Who knows what magic the Replenishing Origin Soup holds."
He vividly remembered Brother Liu’s greedy longing for it.
Afterwards, fearing there might be a problem, Chen Mu deliberately stopped for three days but didn’t notice any addictive properties.@@@@
He even began to feel tired of the soup after drinking too much and had to adjust its taste before it became palatable again.
"Is it only effective on ghost soldiers?"
"Yet another mystery."
After confirming that the grey walls offered no warning of danger, he continued to drink the soup and cultivate.
It was precisely with the supplement of the Replenishing Origin Soup that the Giant Spirit Divine Secret Technique progressed rapidly.
He looked at his experience with satisfaction.
Giant Spirit Divine: 16/10000/Fourth Rank;
"Keep up the good work."
...
Chen Mu, holding the three-legged Primordial Furnace, couldn’t help but fall.
"Another failure?!"
"If it’s too big, it explodes; if it’s too small, it burns. What exactly are the requirements for this thunderous reaction?"
"It’s definitely because of this crappy furnace!" Chen Mu slapped the pitch-black furnace: "If it fails again, I’m gonna repurpose you for stewing meat exclusively!"
Chen Mu cleaned up the medicine residue huffily.
Not in the mood to practice anymore, he sprang up to the wooden floor, slumped into the rocking chair by the window, and watched the little waterfall soothingly.
Before long, the United Heart Rope above his head suddenly vibrated.
The Wu Mountain siblings?
Chen Mu was surprised.
Since the last incident, Shang Huan had run back to Jade Spring Mountain to guard his little shop without leaving, and Lu Ku’s group of six was also slacking off at work in the Inspection Courtyard every day.
It’s been a long time since any of them initiated contact.
After a while, Chen Mu stopped the United Heart Curse and came round.
"People are actually being sent from Eagle Grief Cliff to assist the six Lián Mountains?"
"Great news though!"
"They’d better restore order quickly; otherwise, I won’t be able to afford meat."
...
In the following days, Eagle Grief Cliff suddenly became bustling.
The Inspection Courtyard was hiring at a high price, and many skilled people eagerly signed up.
Chen Mu also went to the market district to join in the excitement.

"Brother Chen, are you also here to sign up?" Butcher Zhang saw Chen Mu on the street and couldn’t help but come over and ask.
"I’m just a frail alchemist, warfare is dangerous—you think I dare to join in such excitement?" Chen Mu shook his head.
Then he glanced at Butcher Zhang: "Besides, if I go, who will take care of your business?"
He had long seen that the butcher was not concerned about his own future, but rather the financial prospects of his meat shop.
Butcher Zhang immediately laughed with a slap on his thigh, complimenting him: "With your physique and demeanor, you may look frail, but you actually seem fit and capable. One could tell at a glance that you’re a high cultivator with Dharma Guardian Divine Skills. The term ’frail’ doesn’t suit you."
Chen Mu waved his hand indifferently: "I’m just practicing randomly; it’s not as exaggerated as you’re making it out to be."
Practicing randomly?
You can’t get that physique by practicing randomly.
Butcher Zhang looked at Chen Mu with a meaningful gaze.
Chen Mu felt helpless inside.
Results were still noticeable even after he used the shapeshifting technique to weaken his physical appearance. Somehow, the Netherworld Grand Summary had transformed his physique to be stronger.
As the third set of talismans became more complete, his body’s capacity for bearing power grew stronger.
Now, activating the Five Ghosts Possession, his height had already broken through to five meters.
Even the Sun family’s ancestors and descendants weren’t so exaggerated.
"I heard the rewards this time are incredibly generous... Sigh, if it weren’t for not wanting to leave that shop, I would’ve gone to sign up too," Butcher Zhang lamented.
"You might earn the money, but you might not live to spend it," Chen Mu shook his head.
Fighting and killing are too dangerous.
With mountain protection restrictions and Condensing Aperture High Cultivators, it’s much safer to stay on Eagle Grief Cliff.
Chen Mu looked at the raucous crowd signing up with contentment.
"You all go on and fight for your futures."
"The more peaceful you can make it, the better. That way, I—cough cough—everyone can cultivate in peace."
"I’ll just stay behind to provide support, and it’ll be convenient to refine more furnaces of Fasting Pills. Maybe earn a little more White... ahem! It’s an opportunity to support the six Lián Mountains!"
