Chapter 283 - 281 Spirit Nourishing Curse
"It’s okay, it should be okay."
"Director Song won’t just sit by and do nothing," Old Hao said as he took a sip of cool tea, calming himself slightly. He couldn’t help but mutter quietly.
"Then what are you afraid of?"
Chen Mu inserted a straw into the yellow gourd and slurped on the Spirit Nourishing Tea.
"When did you prepare this cellar?" Old Hao finally settled his spirit and looked at Chen Mu with suspicion, "Did you already know there was danger?"
"I didn’t know,"
"But I know it’s always good to be prepared," Chen Mu shrugged.
From Da Liang to Peng Yue Mountain.
He didn’t know how many cellars like this he had dug. He had even developed a proficiency in doing so.
"It would be interesting if it turned into an entry on the gray wall," Chen Mu couldn’t help shaking his head and chuckling.
"Who knows how long it will take to calm things down," Old Hao sighed, finally at ease.
"The sky won’t fall as long as the tall ones are there to hold it up, what are you afraid of?" Chen Mu didn’t care much.
Song Wujie was after all a High Cultivator with a Condensing Aperture, and a horde of Exotic Beasts would only cause him a bit of trouble.
But the hunting teams would be in for some bad luck.
"Just wait and see."
...
Half a day later.
A swath of verdant clouds rose from the direction of Peng Yue Mountain.
They first drove away the swarms of poisonous insects and birds from the skies.
Then, as if duplicating and pasting, one swarm became two, diving towards the ground to ravage the Exotic Beasts.
Chen Mu didn’t rush to leave. He honestly hid underground.
In the meantime, some Exotic Beasts with keen noses tried to dig open the entrance.
They were restrained by Chen Mu using the Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles and devoured by the Five Ghosts Yin Spirit, becoming nourishment for the Five Ghosts Bag.

He waited underground for three days until Peng Yue Mountain began organizing manpower to clean up the aftermath of the Exotic Beasts’ rampage, then Chen Mu and Old Hao emerged from the ground.@@@@
...
Half a month later.
In Yiyou District, on the wooden porch in front of Chen Mu’s house.
"Bad luck has hit us. Why does Jilong Road have to face so many disasters?" Shang Huan stepped onto the long bench, gnawing on some unknown bird wings while lamenting.
"This attack again caused several hundred injuries and deaths."
"Dozens of Team Leaders from the Inspection Courtyard and Administrative Affairs Institute who had achieved Spiritual Light have died!"
"I heard even five or six Prefects in the Illusion Breaking Realm had perished."
Chen Mu’s action of chewing vegetables paused involuntarily.
Prefects with Illusion Breaking Cultivation level died? Was it that dangerous?!
Turns out he was so calm and relaxed in that cellar. It was like taking a stroll in front of the Ghost Gate!
"Even such high cultivators can meet with accidents?" Chen Mu couldn’t believe it.
"That’s what you don’t know," Shang Huan chuckled with a sly smile.
Black smoke clung to the right wall, rapidly corroding and shifting inward, quickly forming a two-person-wide arch-shaped passage.
...
Once the spare space inside the Five Ghosts Bag was filled with soil,
Chen Mu left the underground and jumped up to the first secret chamber.
He sat cross-legged on the soft couch and took out the Black Orb Talisman and White Bone Sphere.
Originally, he should have focused on maxing out the Fire Cloud Curse and the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique first.
But then...
"This magic artifact is just too cool!"
With its sharp attacks and strong defenses, one black as ink and the other ghastly white, having menacing appearances that match the Five Ghosts Bag, it perfectly suited his aesthetic taste.
"I’ll practice this first!"
"I have a cheat; I’m not afraid of distractions!"
Mana coursed into the Primordial Talisman and then surged into the White Bone Sphere and Jet-black Moon Blade through his palm.
Then, a force feedbacked from the Black Orb Talisman to him and transmitted into his mind.
Within the Jade Seed, mana mist gently drifted, slowly condensing.
A loose and unfamiliar talisman slowly emerged.
Chen Mu maintained the output of mana, and the talisman became increasingly vivid and discernible.
The Black Orb Talisman was different from all the other magic artifacts he had before; it had its own Jade Slip function.
The incantations needed to activate the magic artifact were within the artifact itself, manifesting when mana was infused.
After a good while, Chen Mu stopped.
The talisman became loose again, the edges crumbling slowly with silver sparkles, until only a core thread with two sparkles remained.
Watching the thread waver on the brink of dissolution, yet ultimately remaining intact, Chen Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
A new entry also appeared on the gray wall.
Spirit Nourishing Curse: 12/10000/First Rank;
"I did it!"
"But what does ’Spirit Nourishing’ mean?" Chen Mu pondered briefly but didn’t dwell on it.
As long as he increased his proficiency, he would know everything he needed to know.
"Since it’s done, hehe..."
He immediately directed the spark-thread into the Black Orb Talisman with his thoughts.
Hum!
A flash of white light, and a phantom white bone sphere suddenly appeared in front of him.
He raised his right hand.
Whoosh!
The Jet-black Moon Blade instantly began to circulate around him.
A peculiar pulling force wrapped around his palm, as though he was holding a whip.
With a slight flick of his wrist, the Moon Blade swept through the air like a whip’s lash, effortlessly boring into the stone wall opposite and vanishing from sight.
A flick of the wrist brought the Moon Blade back to his side.
After directing the Moon Blade to fly around the secret chamber for a while, Chen Mu withdrew his mana and held the Bone Sphere and Moon Blade before his eyes.
"What treasures!"
