My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 629 Demon-Slaying Technique

"The species of extraterrestrial demons are countless, and most of them are thick-skinned and tough."

"To skin and dismember a demon, you must first break through the residual energy protection of its corpse."

"This requires exorcism techniques based on the principles of mutual generation and restraint..."

Preaching Cliff is situated on a wide platform extending over a precipice. At its edge stands a massive peach tree, as thick as five people could encircle, with twisted branches and a canopy resembling the claws of a wild beast.

On a long stone beneath the tree, Elder Chuan Changchuan, a scholar with a dark mustache, was explaining the art of exorcising demons with a blank expression.

"The basic training methods for dispelling demonic arts are not difficult; the difficulty lies in flexibly using the interplay of elements and their interactions."

"It allows the rhythm of secret techniques to be ever-changing, so that when encountering unfamiliar demons, one can quickly find a way to break through their protective aura."

As he spoke, he began to explain to everyone the spells and talismans for dispelling demonic magic, as well as some basic interactions of mutual generation and restraint.

They started talking at dawn and continued until the sun began to set, only stopping reluctantly when they felt they hadn't had enough.

Even with their powerful spiritual energy and swift minds, cultivators were still overwhelmed by this complex exorcism technique.

Chuan Chang looked at the bewildered crowd below and calmly said, "You should be glad that you came to my Hundred Illusions Sect. From now on, you will only be facing corpses and inanimate objects. Even if you encounter unfamiliar demons, you will have time to try them out."

"If you become a warrior, you must find the demons' weaknesses in life-or-death battles. That's the real dance of swords and blades, a true life-or-death struggle."

The group of people, who had just come to their senses, were immediately filled with trepidation.

Chen Mu, who was mixed in with the crowd, couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Thank goodness I didn't listen to that old Taoist priest from Taoshan Temple before.

There are countless demons, each with its own unique protective aura. To break through their defenses, one must either use methods of mutual restraint or confront them head-on with powerful secret techniques. Neither is easy, and the slightest misstep can lead to peril.

"So what's wrong with the butcher?"

"Although the working environment is a bit poor, with all sorts of corpses around all day, at least it's safe and stable enough!"

Chen Mu chuckled to himself.

Elder Chuan, standing on the platform, nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the gratified expressions on everyone's faces.

After such a scare, these guys in front of me are unlikely to be lured away by other sects.

He watched the crowd discuss, occasionally answering a few questions, and only stopped his sermon when it was getting dark.

"The fundamentals of exorcising demons are simple, but the variations are quite complex."

"Hearing a lot is not as good as practicing."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and scattered the fist-sized stones that flew in front of everyone.

"What you see before you is a demonic stone."

"You can begin the next stage of your cultivation whenever you can cut through the demonic energy stone."

……

In the dead of night, in a cave nestled against the cliff, Chen Mu, sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, slowly opened his eyes.

The gray walls appeared before my eyes as I thought of them.

Dispelling Evil: 233/10000/Tier 1;

"This secret technique is indeed not difficult to learn."

After returning to his cave from the Preaching Cliff, he began to try to practice demon-repelling techniques.

This is crucial to whether I can successfully infiltrate the Thousand Machines Sect in the future, so I cannot be negligent.

Just as Elder Chuan said, it's indeed not difficult to learn the basics of exorcising demonic arts. After trying it a few times with the transmission jade tablet, a delicate silver ring the size of a soybean appeared inside Chen Muyu's body.

"There are five magic talismans in total to dispel the demonic spell. It only took two or three hours to condense one of them. Even if the later ones are more difficult, it won't take too long."

"I'm afraid it's just as Elder Chuan said, the difficulty in breaking the sorcery lies entirely in whether the application is subtle and skillful."

……

Several days later, at dusk, on a small platform at the entrance of the cave.

Chen Mu lay in the fourth-generation rocking chair that had been with him the longest, its armrests now smooth and patinated.

The orange-red rays of the setting sun shone through the thin clouds, warming him all over.

Swish!

A thin red line descended from the sky, and Chen Mu reached out at the opportune moment to pluck the Zhu Yu magic sword from mid-air.

On his first day at the Hundred Illusions Sect, he released all the Zhu Yu magic swords and used his Divine Listening ability to investigate the environment of the Hundred Illusions Sect.

At this moment, Chen Mu thought for a moment, and a complete sand table appeared in his mind.

The Hundred Illusions Sect is located in a basin deep within a misty forest, surrounded by towering, steep mountains.

The mountain is covered with lush vegetation, and peach blossoms bloom in vibrant colors all over the hillside. In the center of the depression basin lies a vast plain, which has been transformed into spiritual fields for planting Golden Yuan Valley.

"The area around the cave is quite nice, with no hidden dangers." Chen Mu glanced at the scattered caves in the distance and smiled. The place he chose was already remote. The people living here were all rather unsociable, reclusive Qi cultivators who only knew how to cultivate in seclusion.

Apart from the occasional howling mountain wind, there was basically no noise in the surrounding area.

"Quiet is good."

"We will not disturb each other, live in peace, and each cultivate immortality in peace."

With a chuckle, Chen Mu took out the Demonic Aura Stone.

"I need to focus on gaining experience in dispelling sorcery."

He came to the Hundred Illusions Sect to use it as a springboard to join the Thousand Machines Sect.

To join the Thousand Machines Sect, one must be proficient in exorcising demons. How can one be a qualified butcher if one cannot dissect the remains of demons?

With a thought, a wisp of green smoke appeared in Chen Mu's palm, which was the secret demon-dispelling technique of the Hundred Illusions Sect.

He skillfully pressed the green mist onto the demonic stone, and a slight yet persistent sense of repulsion immediately returned to his heart.

"Whether it's the Five Dragons Scripture or the Five Thunder Spell, I can crush the demonic stone with just a little effort. But this is different from the effect of exorcising demons."

"The purpose of exorcism is to meticulously dissect the demon's corpse, not to smash it into mincemeat."

"Sigh, I'd better just get back to training..."

If he could cheat, he would have used other secret methods to deceive others long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't be so fixated on this one stone.

chi chi chi...

As if corroded by acid, tiny pores appeared on the demonic stone.

Chen Mu carefully sensed the changes in the aura of the demonic stone, activated the secret talisman as instructed by Elder Chuan, and then adjusted the rhythm of the exorcism technique.

a moment.

Just as the right key was found on a lock, a crack suddenly appeared in the tough force that blocked the demonic energy stone, and the eerie green smoke slipped in.

puff!

Like a hot knife slicing butter, or like splitting wood along its grain, the demonic stone was instantly cleaved in two.

"By constantly exchanging feedback and adjusting the exorcism technique, we can find the energy channels protecting the demon's body and then dissect it along these channels."

"To enter the space between the infinitesimal and the existent, like a butcher skillfully carving up an ox?"

"Hey! This exorcism technique really is a butcher's secret art."

Chen Mu smiled.

After several days of effort, the cultivation of dispelling demonic magic has finally gotten on the right track.

……

The next day.

Within the Hundred Illusions Sect, at the junction of the base of the cliffs and the outer edge of the Golden Origin Valley Plain, there is a recessed valley hundreds of meters deep.

Its name is Prison Valley, and it is shrouded in thick fog all year round, with occasional clanging sounds coming from within.

Lu Han, whom they hadn't seen for several days, led Chen Mu and more than ten other newcomers to the depths of the valley.

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen tattered bamboo baskets appeared in front of the group, containing some equally damaged pickaxes that looked like they had been through a battle.

"Learning the secret technique is not difficult; the difficulty lies in quickly adjusting the exorcism technique to break through the protective aura of unfamiliar demons and better peel off their skin and bones."

"Only in this way can you earn Dao merit more quickly and exchange it with the Thousand Machines Sect for the various resources and secret techniques you want," Lu Han said loudly.

"To master the art of exorcising demons, one must constantly try to come into contact with the energy of various demons."

"The Valley of Imprisonment before us is filled with demonic stones, and the demonic energy within them is ever-changing. Digging through the mountains and excavating the stones is the best way to practice and dispel demonic magic."

"Being able to dig 100 jin a day is considered the entry level, and being able to dig 500 jin is considered meeting the standard."

"Then you can go to the millstone room to begin the next stage of your training."

"All you future Dao soldiers of the Thousand Machines Sect, get moving! Complete your training as soon as possible and go to the Thousand Machines Sect to earn Dao merit!" Lu Han clapped his large, fan-like hands, urging everyone to get to work quickly.

Before long, a series of crisp, tinkling sounds came from the valley.

Seeing that everyone complied, Lu Han smiled with satisfaction.

Practice quickly, and become a Dao soldier quickly.

In that case, it will be good for us to go to the Thousand Machine Sect as soon as possible to earn Dao merit.

At this moment, the way he looked at everyone was as kind as that of an old father hoping his son would become a dragon!
