I AM GRINDING EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER WORLD

Tongtian River, Dingyou day, Heavenly River Water Mansion.

Chen Mu had initially been worried that Qiu Jinwu might come looking for him, but after employing the Truth Listening Divine Power to monitor the mansion’s entrances for over a month and detecting nothing unusual, he gradually relaxed.

During this time, the uniquely designed All-Disease Pill from the Mist Forest unexpectedly became popular, bringing him a large amount of White Jade.

He spent his days cultivating methodically, refining a cauldron of Alchemy Pills every few days, and his life gradually stabilized.

…

Chao Feng Alley, within a small courtyard.

A jade basin, half a person tall with a round belly, floated in mid-air as flames belched from the Fire Cloud Gourd.

The Ninth Transition Soul Capturing Spell was activated, and droplets of pale-white Nourishing Spirit Wine flew up, slowly gathering into a cluster the size of a grape.

Chen Mu’s spells shifted, and the Seven Turns Banquet Primordial Curse circulated, a thread of dark red Replenishing Origin Soup gushing forth, swiftly filling a bamboo tube as long as a forearm.

Pouring himself a mouthful of Replenishing Origin Soup, he shook his heavy bamboo tube helplessly, “Thank goodness for the Giant Spirit Divine secret technique, otherwise I’d eventually turn into a ball.”

Both Nourishing Spirit Wine and Replenishing Origin Soup were refined from Exotic Beast Meat, yet their yields differed.

Refining a gourd of Nourishing Spirit Wine typically also produced seven to eight gourds of Replenishing Origin Soup.

The Replenishing Origin Soup could not be stored for long, requiring him to consume it quickly.

As a result, with his Vital Energy replenished excessively, Chen Mu had to use the Giant Spirit Divine Secret Technique to speed up its consumption. In less than a month, he had boosted the Seventh Rank Giant Spirit Divine from over six thousand experience to eighty-nine hundred.

While the surge in experience was gratifying, it was…

“Too much of a good thing can be annoying,” Chen Mu scratched his head.

He even felt nauseous now at the smell of Replenishing Origin Soup!

“I need to think of some adjustments,” he began to scrutinize the numerous secret techniques on the gray wall.

“Perhaps I could try the Ghost Gate mechanism,” a thought struck Chen Mu.

Relying on the existence of the Bottomless Pool in the Ghost Gate, it was a secret technique specifically for breaking down and storing Demon flesh. After his journey in the Tianhe Law Realm, the Ghosts in the Five Ghosts Bag had been perfectly transformed into a living Ghost Gate.

“It’s feasible to construct a Bottomless Pool for storing Exotic Beast Meat.”

As for the Forget River Stone required to construct the Bottomless Pool…

Chen Mu looked towards the large turtle shell in Thousand Lanterns City.

The raw material for the Extinguishing Breath Stone was precisely the stones from the bottom of the River of Oblivion.

“With Thousand Lanterns City’s Grotto Heaven isolating it, there’s no need to hide the Water Avoiding Shuttle; I can simply take some less important Extinguishing Breath Stones for raw materials.”

…

Two days later, Chen Mu’s spirit delved into the Five Ghosts Bag.

Seeing the Bottomless Pool the size of a bedroom in the center of the Five Ghosts Bag, he couldn’t help but smile.

“It’s done.”

With the Ghost Gate constructed into the Five Ghosts Bag, the teleportation ability was basically unusable, but the ability to break down and store Demon flesh in the Bottomless Pool was perfectly preserved. From now on, he only needed to toss various Exotic Beast Meats inside, and both Replenishing Origin Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine could be accessed on-demand.

And since the Ghosts still resided within the Five Ghosts Bag, it didn’t hinder his extraction of Primordial Energy for cultivation.

“A perfect solution!”

It was no wonder he spent time pondering this matter; the Nourishing Spirit Wine was simply too useful.

It enhanced the Superior Fetal Spirit, indirectly boosting his understanding, and Chen Mu’s recent focus on the Five Thunders Treasure Scroll had thereby progressed rapidly.

Just last night, he had mastered this secret technique to its pinnacle.

Chen Mu looked at a particular entry on the gray wall.

Five Thunders Treasure Scroll: Perfection.

As his gaze fixed on the ancient script on the gray wall, a series of insights emerged in his mind.

“Five Thunders Spell.”

Whoosh!

A wave of invisible force, like flowing water, burst forth from the pores all over his body, wrapping around him in a moment, with the air slightly distorting.

This was exactly the ability of the Five Thunders Treasure Scroll upon reaching Perfection, similar to an Innate Protective Qi Mechanism: the Five Thunders Spell.

At this moment, the power of thunder filled Chen Mu inside and out, protecting his internal organs, blood, and marrow with this invisible Thunder Law.

“Compared to the devouring aggressive nature of the Five Dragon Dharma Aspect, the Five Thunders Spell seems more inclined towards defense and protection.”

“Stack Armor?”

“Stack Armor sounds great!”

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

He hadn’t yet mastered the River Chariot, yet he already possessed a defense comparable to the Dao Foundation Realm, and it was a dual defense with both the Five Dragon Dharma Aspect and the Five Thunders Spell.

He felt completely secure!

“The Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique seems to be a defensive secret technique too; if I could master it to the limit…”

“Ha!”

Chen Mu immediately looked at a column on the gray wall.

Heavenly Demon Armor: 6431/10000/Third Rank;

This Secret Technique originated from Yu Lin, one of the Wu Mountain Seven Brothers. The current experience with the technique was replicated by Chen Mu using the United Heart Curse.

He had wanted to practice this Secret Technique for a while now, but various changes had continuously delayed him.

“I’ll start cultivating tomorrow,” Chen Mu decided in his heart.

…

“Another thousand pills?”

“Is there such a high demand for the Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill?” In the Heavenly Water Pavilion, Chen Mu looked at Manager Yang, whose hair was turning white, in amazement.

“Some trouble arose in the Hundred Illusion Sect, releasing a lot of demon qi. The Mist Forest was contaminated by the demon qi and underwent mutations.”

“Rare spiritual herbs and exotic beasts have increased, so have various poisons and miasmas.”

“Therefore, there’s a great demand for Poison Avoidance and Detoxification Pills. Your Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill came at a good time,” Manager Yang explained with a smile.

Chen Mu nodded in understanding.

However…

Demon qi, Hundred Illusion Sect?

“I wonder about this Hundred Illusion Sect…” he voiced his curiosity.

“Mr. Song is new here, probably not very familiar,” Manager Yang explained with a smile.

“The Hundred Illusion Sect is one of the ninety-nine sects in Hai Province, located in the Mist Forest a thousand miles away.”

“Their ancestors were once influential, but the sect has declined somewhat in recent years, and their talents are waning.”

“Now, they can’t even properly watch over the Outer Heaven Demon sealed by the Thousand Mechanisms Sect; they might be disqualified as a top-grade sect and driven out of the Mist Forest any day now.”

Watching over the Demon seals?

Are these ninety-nine sects of Hai Province not only training Daoist Soldiers for the Thousand Mechanisms Sect but also serving as jailors?

Chen Mu was puzzled, yet cautiously nodded along with a pretense of understanding, careful not to inquire further.

After all, he was not from Hai Province; revealing too much personal information might bring trouble and covetous eyes.

Taking the White Jade Coins handed over by Boss Yang, Chen Mu turned and left.

…

Leaving the Heavenly Water Pavilion, Chen Mu didn’t rush home but went to Zhongli Restaurant to gather information. He was quite concerned about the demon qi.

After drinking tea all afternoon and walking home in the evening, he had gathered the information he wanted from snippets of conversation.

“Who would have thought the ninety-nine sects of Hai Province were really jailors.”

According to the news he gathered at the restaurant, all ninety-nine sects have demon seals set by the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.

This was done not only to suppress certain special Outer Heaven Demons but also to allow Daoist Soldiers to cultivate Secret Techniques using demon qi, making them effective tools against Outer Heaven Demons for the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.

“With hundreds of years of tradition like this, it seems there’s no need for too much concern,” Chen Mu sighed with relief.

The Thousand Mechanisms Sect dared to do this, and nothing wrong had happened over so many years; clearly, the methods were mature.

Just what exactly were these Outer Heaven Demons?

Were they similar to exotic beasts?

Were they related to the Heavenly Demons from the Heavenly Demon Path?

Ambling along the broad street, Chen Mu mulled over various thoughts while walking towards his courtyard.

At the corner of Chao Feng Alley, just as Chen Mu was stepping in, a skinny middle-aged man suddenly turned the corner.

Chen Mu, who habitually used his Truth Listening Divine Power, noticed the man ahead of time and stepped aside.

Unexpectedly, that person also noticed Chen Mu early and stepped aside as well.

Chen Mu paused, then smiled and nodded in greeting.

The man also realized and smiled back in response.

Local people were quite polite, Chen Mu thought cheerfully.

But the next moment,

Boom!

A thunderous, deafening boom echoed next to his ear as a blue-white lightning bolt as thick as a finger sprang from his shoulder, striking the middle-aged man who had just passed by.

The man didn’t even have time to grunt before he was instantly turned into a pile of ashes!

Chen Mu was stunned at that moment.

“Isn’t the Five Thunders Spell a protective Secret Technique? Why is it attacking people too?”

He looked at the few white ashes on the ground, questioning his life.

Just then, the recently mastered Five Thunders Spell had activated on its own. Before he could react, Kui Water Yin Thunder had shot out and directly blasted the middle-aged man to dust.

“But why?”

“Just because he glanced at me in the crowd, the Five Thunders Spell has to turn him into smoke?”

“Isn’t this Secret Technique a bit too tyrannical?”
