My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 530 Bestowing the Law
Qiluoshan City God Temple in Luandu County.

"Is he really a descendant of a demon immortal who can independently cultivate the Underworld God Transformation?" Yuan Xia asked incredulously.

The Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Qi Cultivation Method is extremely dangerous; most of the cultivators are eliminated in the fourth stage, the Tribulation of Lightning.

The fifth trial, Opening the Meridians, and the sixth trial, Dragon Gate, are both brutal methods that forcibly transform the body, making them extremely difficult. Surviving the backlash from the Heavenly Demon bloodline in the seventh trial and achieving true form to become a Demon Immortal is even more challenging.

Moreover, such demon immortals have transcended the mortal realm and are indifferent to the mundane world. The possibility of them leaving behind descendants is extremely slim. Even if they do have descendants, the chances of their bloodline being compatible with the transformation of the Underworld God are pitifully small.

"I don't know," Yuan Dong said calmly.

"Brother, did you deliberately let them leave? Are you trying to catch a big fish with a long line and find their stronghold?" Yuan Xia suddenly realized.

"No, I just don't want to die." Yuan Dong glanced calmly at his younger sister.

Yuan Xia: "..."

"It seems that person's strength is indeed extraordinary," said Li Buxian, the temple keeper, with a chuckle.

"The power of a casual strike is comparable to the third transformation of the God of the Underworld. If he really hits him..." Yuan Dong shook his head and sighed with a complicated expression.

"Which expert is deliberately disguising themselves to conceal their identity?" Li Buxian raised an eyebrow slightly.

“The aura is singular, at most a transformation of the Underworld God, not like a master in disguise.” Yuan Dong shook his head after careful consideration.

"Could it be that a Qi Refiner is in disguise?" Li Buxian guessed with great interest. "Perhaps this was the person who appeared on the summit of Qiluo Mountain before."

“There’s only one dot on the God-Searching Compass.” Yuan Dong shook his head and pulled out a palm-sized emerald green disc: “Unless that person has a way to evade the God-Searching Compass’s detection.”

"Is it possible that he really is a genius?" At this moment, Yuan Xia actually believed his older brother's initial judgment.

The numerous City God temples formed a vast, inescapable net covering the Great Qian Dynasty. The Searching God Plate was connected to these temples, meaning that any Qi cultivator, no matter how well they hid, would be discovered. She had joined the Locking Dragon Academy since childhood and had never encountered anyone who could escape the Searching God Plate's detection.

“That’s why I invited him to the Lock Dragon Academy,” Yuan Dong said.

He turned to look at Li Buxian: "My two senior and junior brothers and sisters will be returning to Suolong Academy soon. We will need to trouble you, Mr. Li, to keep an eye on this person's whereabouts."

"Whether he is a disguised martial artist or a Qi cultivator in disguise, this person probably has a lot of schemes behind him, so you should make some preparations in advance."

"But if he is truly a genius, then we will have to trouble you to bring him into the Dragon Locking Academy."

Li Buxian nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "The City God Temple Fair is coming up in a few days, why don't we stay and join in the fun?"

“I would like to stay and play for a few days, but unfortunately the Dragon Locking Academy is short-staffed, so…” Yuan Dong shrugged helplessly.

……

The Divine Image Cave.

Chen Mu glared at Yuan Dong on the water screen with a sour face.

I can't believe that big-eyed, thick-browed guy's lies and spared his life. Who would have thought this guy's whole performance was just a charade?!
Sure enough, you can't see into someone's heart. If I run into you again... hmph!
Chen Mu stared at the people on the water screen with an unfriendly expression.

Especially that temple priest Li Buxian with the goatee. This guy, who looks like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, is not simple either.

Some time ago, when I escaped in my true form, the first place I appeared was the summit of Qiluo Mountain. I never expected that this Temple Master Li had already discovered my whereabouts.

Judging from Yuan Dong and the others' attitudes, this temple keeper, Li Buxian, is probably also skilled in the Underworld God Transformation, and quite formidable at that.

"It's dark under the lamp." Chen Mu broke out in a cold sweat.

I was thinking of going to the City God Temple outside, thank goodness I didn't. Otherwise, I might have run into this unassuming temple keeper...

Ouch...that was close!
“Yuan Dong previously said that the City God's Taoist temple belonged to the Dragon Locking Academy, and even said that the incense and spiritual energy could accelerate the cultivation of the Underworld God Transformation.”

"From this perspective, the City God Temple is not only important to the underworld, but also to the cultivation of martial arts in the Great Qian Dynasty. This temple keeper, Li Buxian, is probably one of the guardians of the City God Temple."

Chen Mu understood.

Fortunately, the previous times I left the Divine Statue Cave Heaven, it was for very short periods of time. Later, just in case, I even used the Absolute Breath Divine Power to conceal myself.

Moreover, he used the Yellow Springs Crossing Shrinking Earth Teleportation technique to enter and exit the cave, making him appear and disappear without a trace. Otherwise, he might have been discovered by this old man long ago.

"There are always higher heavens beyond the heavens. For the foreseeable future, I'll just stay in the Divine Statue Cave and cultivate immortality diligently," Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

He was also thinking of taking advantage of the Luandu County New Year to go to the city for some fun.

"What a pity."

……

Five days later.

The Beiganzishan Mountains in Luandu County.

In a dense forest, Sun Ke stood, looking around nervously. His palms, gripping the Extinction Stone, were sweating profusely.

This was the last of his Breath-Severing Stones; once he used it all, the black-skinned dog might find it.

These past few days, he's been traveling around the neighboring county, and the Absolute Stone has been a huge help. With it, he even dares to venture into crowded areas of the county town.

After experiencing this sense of security, as the power of the Extinction Stone was about to be exhausted, a sense of crisis far stronger than before arose, making him increasingly anxious.

After waiting for a full hour, the sun dyed the western sky a fiery red, and the breath-suppressing stone in his hand completely cracked and became ineffective. Only then did a figure in gray appear in front of him.

Sun Ke was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who it was. They've finally arrived.

If he doesn't come soon, he's going to run away!

"Mr. Gongsun, I have successfully completed my mission. All fifty bottles of Bigu Pills have been sold." He respectfully handed over a black cloth bag.

He shook the cloth bag, the white jade inside jingling. He then used his Listening Technique to survey the surroundings, but heard no one lying in ambush within a thirty-mile radius. Extinguishing the five dragon energy in his palm, Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that this middleman will not need to be replaced for a long time to come.

"This is your reward." Chen Mu tossed a scroll and a jade bottle to Sun Ke.

"The scroll contains the secrets of embroidery, and the blood in the jade bottle contains the vital energy of the Absolute Breath Divine Power."

"By mastering this secret technique, you can actively isolate your own aura. As long as you don't get close to the City God Temple, you basically won't have to worry about being searched by the Lock Dragon Academy anymore."

Sun Ke was overjoyed: "Thank you so much for the method, sir!"

Chen Mu waved his hand indifferently.

He'd already shared this secret technique countless times in Feng'an City; sending out just one more wouldn't be a problem for him... um...

"I also have the Eastern Longevity Scripture here. Reciting it three times a day can prolong life, prevent death, and extend lifespan," Chen Mu said solemnly.

really?
I have a feeling... there's a trap here?

"Take it, and don't forget to read it when you get back." Chen Mu squinted, his face full of kindness.

Sun Ke immediately shuddered, bowed deeply to accept the gift, and said with tears of gratitude on his face, "Ke will certainly not fail your generous gift, and will recite it a hundred times every day!"

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

I love your flexible and adaptable nature.

I don't know if the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed can be planted in a living person; it's highly unlikely.

Fortunately, there's the Seven Sons United Gu to bind them together, so they can be considered as one of our own. As long as they don't cause trouble for us like the Seven Brothers of Wushan and Lu Ku did back then, it'll be fine.

By the way, are Lu Kushang and those guys dead? Why is the Seven Sons United Gu's synesthesia so blurry? Could the seven forces that pulled me back from the brink of death be these people's Seven Sons United Gu?
The sudden thought startled Chen Mu, and his face immediately darkened.

Are those guys really the ones who made me a living god? Don't fucking let me find you!

Chen Mu snapped out of his daze and glared at Sun Ke.

This guy was infected with the Seven Sons United Gu, will he cause trouble for me like those seven bastards?

"Sir?" Sun Ke looked at Chen Mu's changing expression, feeling uneasy, and cautiously asked.

Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

This Sun Ke is clearly a timid, cautious man who is well-versed in the ways of the world, unlike the Seven Brothers of Wushan who are unrestrained and reckless.

He shook his head slightly, then took out a wooden box and handed it over.

"I come here once every two weeks to process your pills, and I'll give you ten percent of the reward."

"Also, besides selling pills, it would be best to collect some yellow sprout rice or the essence of the five grains."

"Sir, you can refine pills?" Sun Ke asked, his face beaming with delight.

With the ability to conceal his aura through breathlessness and the continuous refinement of fasting pills by this master before him, he is sure to have a fortune in the future.

Good luck and good opportunity! This Mr. Gongsun is indeed a golden opportunity!

Chen Mu nodded slightly, very satisfied with Sun Ke's expression.

"This is a long-term business. Daqian is so dangerous, so safety must be the top priority." He earnestly advised, "Never drain the pond to catch all the fish. You must ensure a continuous and steady flow of income."

Sun Ke nodded repeatedly in deep agreement.

……

Two days later, at the entrance to the Divine Statue Cave.

The pitch-black Hunyuan Furnace was mostly embedded in the square table.

Steam rose from the open furnace, while inside, meat broth bubbled and churned, with chunks of meat, mushrooms, and tender vegetable leaves constantly turning.

Chen Mu carried a basket of freshly picked and washed leafy greens from the west courtyard to the door.

The power of the spirits was poured into the statue at the entrance, opening the water curtain outside the door.

Accompanied by the clanging of gongs and drums, the scene in front of the City God Temple outside came into view. There, people came and went, and the atmosphere was lively. Somersaults, stilt walking, magic tricks, monkey shows and other performances were staged in turn.

Chen Mu ate his alchemy hotpot while watching the show with great interest.

Looking back over the past ten years, Chen Mu has been cultivating all the time. This is the first time he has ever seen something like a City God Temple Fair.

"Interesting."
