My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 689 Try

Yangdufang, Jiwei Courtyard.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on a low couch by the window.

On the low square table in front of him were three palm-sized porcelain dishes, each containing a piece of bright red monster meat the size of a walnut.

"I want to see what this demonic poison is all about." Chen Mu stared intently at the meat pieces in the porcelain dish.

With his supernatural hearing fully activated, three barely perceptible, subtle rhythms appeared right beside his ears.

However, the sound was so faint and barely audible that it could not be heard at all unless one listened carefully.

"The presence of life rhythms indicates that the flesh is alive."

"The so-called demonic poison might actually be some kind of special living thing, similar to bacteria or viruses," Chen Mu said thoughtfully.

"Perhaps I could try the Seven Emotions Flame." A thought suddenly occurred to him.

The Seven Emotions Flame is most adept at burning spirits and deities. Since the demonic poison is a living thing, it might also be afraid of the Seven Emotions Flame.

Just do it if you think of it.

With a flick of his wrist, a handful of colorless flames appeared in his palm, quickly enveloping the monster meat on the first porcelain plate on the left.

The Divine Listening Technique stared intently at the piece of flesh, but after a while, although the life force within the flesh was as weak as a candle in its twilight years, it remained steadfast.

"It's not that simple after all." Chen Mu waved his hand to dispel the Seven Emotions Flame.

Although somewhat disappointing, it was within expectations.

The Thousand Machines Sect is a vast sect, yet only the Southern Bright Fire within the Heavenly Craft Furnace can purify the demonic poison, demonstrating how difficult the demonic poison is to deal with.

It would be abnormal if the Seven Emotions Flame could easily remove the demonic poison.

"The Jade Cicada's Qi might have some effect," Chen Mu thought to himself.

He had previously conducted experiments and found that the Jade Cicada's Qi could enhance the physique of small insects, causing them to fight each other and grow stronger, making it extremely suitable for practicing Gu.

Later, he even temporarily controlled the Plague Immortal Flag by relying on the Jade Cicada's Qi, and recovered a large amount of Yellow Millet Plague Poison.

"Since the demonic poison is a living thing, and a very small one at that, perhaps the Jade Cicada's energy will be useful."

Chen Mu extended his right index finger, and a ball of air, about the size of a soybean and resembling gold dust, floated out from his fingertip.

With a flick of his finger, the wisp of jade cicada energy entered the meat chunk in the second porcelain dish.

At first, nothing changed, but before long, Chen Mu noticed that the Jade Cicada's energy, which had been dispersed into the monster's flesh, began to slowly disappear.

Chen Mu fully activated his Listening Divine Power, and the originally barely perceptible life rhythm inexplicably increased by two points!

"There's a chance!" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

If the Jade Cicada's energy is effective, it will have the potential to intervene in the demonic poison.

Although the Plague Immortal Technique cannot kill the demonic poison, it can be used to lure it out and recover it in the same way as the Yellow Millet Plague Poison.

With the demonic poison gone, the flesh of the extraterrestrial demons is naturally clean!

He immediately began to try to activate the Plague Immortal Technique.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Mu stopped and brought up the gray wall.

Plague Immortal Technique: 7566/10000/Second Tier;

"The Plague Immortal Technique is still a bit lacking in level." He sighed and shook his head.

With the Plague Immortal Technique combined with the Jade Cicada's Qi, Chen Mu's perception of the demonic poison was significantly enhanced, but it was merely an enhancement of his sensory abilities. The second-tier Plague Immortal Technique was simply insufficient to activate the demonic poison.

"If only we had the Plague Immortal Flag," Chen Mu said regretfully, shaking his head.

The Plague Immortal Flag can be considered an amplifier of the Plague Immortal Technique. With it, even if the Plague Immortal Technique is only at the second level, it may still be able to interfere with demonic poison.

"Never mind, it's not my magic weapon after all, so it's fine if I don't have it."

"The Plague Immortal Technique is actually better. Once you learn it, it becomes your own skill, without relying on external tools."

"We can't deal with the demonic poison right now, but it's just because our level isn't high enough."

"It's just grinding experience points, I'm good at that!"

……

The Star Lord's Palace, within the inner city of Tianguan City.

Lan Xiuzhu, dressed in gray, stood at the entrance of the main hall, gazing up at the stars in the sky.

"Looking up at the Kui Mu star cluster all day long, what, want to join the Chunyang Dao? Too bad they don't even look at you." A clear voice rang out from the depths of the Star Lord's Palace.

"Senior Sister, it's been three hundred years! I never imagined you would be reborn and rejuvenated!" Lan Xiuzhu turned around and looked at Meng Qingchan with surprise and delight: "Congratulations!"

Meng Qingchan's face immediately darkened.

She hadn't undergone a complete transformation at all; it was clearly a failed attempt at escaping her predicament, resulting in a severe loss of vital energy. She didn't believe Lan Xiuzhu couldn't see through her situation; he was obviously making fun of her!

"Junior brother, your mouth is still so sharp!" Meng Qingchan sneered.

"Senior sister, we're in the same boat." Lan Xiuzhu said with a gentle smile. "Enough nonsense, where's my Plague Immortal Flag?" Meng Qingchan said with a sour face.

Lan Xiuzhu didn't take it seriously. With a wave of his hand, thirty-five crimson triangular command flags instantly appeared in the main hall.

Meng Qingchan's expression softened.

With a wave of his hand, a dark green plague flag appeared beside him.

With a surge of magical power, the thirty-five crimson command flags silently transformed into red dust, quickly penetrating into the dark green command flag.

"Senior sister was on Bianshe Star before?" Lan Xiuzhu asked, suddenly realizing.

"No wonder I couldn't find this Plague Immortal Banner. It turns out that Senior Sister took it away. I thought Senior Brother Lü had discovered something was wrong and intercepted it."

Then he frowned slightly: "Since you have the Plague Immortal Flag in hand, how could Senior Sister's Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell Technique have any flaws?"

"Ah, it's nothing, just that a cunning little thief took advantage of the situation." Meng Qingchan's face twitched, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She never expected that Chen Mu would have a way to extract vital energy from the Chengtian Gourd.

I don't know where that guy got that bottomless cold pool from, but it can actually restrain all the magical restrictions on the Heavenly Gourd.

Although she was in a deep sleep at the time, she was not completely unaware of the outside world. Even now, when she recalls that pool, she still feels lingering fear.

"Do you need me to help you clean up the mess?" Lan Xiuzhu said solemnly.

"You want to see me make a fool of myself, don't you?" Meng Qingchan glanced at Lan Xiuzhu.

"After all, it's rare to see someone who can make Senior Sister suffer a loss." Lan Xiuzhu chuckled.

"Get out!" Meng Qingchan's eyebrows shot up.

……

Jieyao Alley, Xin Si Courtyard.

Chen Mu examined the large, dark blue-green snail-shaped millstone in front of him with great interest.

The monster is called the Azure Jade Snail. The snail shell house where it lived in the Tiangong Camp of Bianshe Star was made from the Azure Jade Snail.

"This thing is extremely precious, so you must not let your hands slip," Manager Wu said nervously. "If the inner wall is even slightly scratched, the snail shell will be ruined and unusable."

"Since it's so precious, why did you entrust it to me? Aren't you afraid I won't handle it properly?" Chen Mu asked doubtfully.

"What if it works out?" Manager Wu said through gritted teeth. "Those old veterans in the compound have long lost their ambition. You're the only one who still has some hope."

"You think so highly of me?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"If you can really handle the Jade Snail, then our Xin Si Academy's level will immediately rise by one grade."

"At that time, the cultivation points we have earned will be doubled."

"This is something that benefits both of us, so don't hold back," Manager Wu said with a stern face.

Fine.

Chen Mu shrugged and agreed.

He waved to shoo away Steward Wu, and after making sure no one was watching, he raised his hand and unleashed a thin, pale green blade of air, about the size of a mosquito's wing.

The air blade easily pierced through the remaining energy of the jade snail and cut into it along the edge of the circular operculum.

It immediately adhered tightly to the inner wall, moving quickly and precisely inward. Any fleshy tendons that were attached to the inner wall were swiftly severed and dissected by the emerald green air blades.

Before long, Chen Mu slightly raised his index finger and activated his Qi Restriction technique. The snow-white soft body inside the snail shell was easily sucked into the air.

A strange fragrance filled the demon-dispelling chamber.

"It's done." Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction.

He possessed the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Technique, the culinary skills honed through years of grilling and cutting meat, and the ability to listen and probe the internal structure of snail shells. What was difficult for others to handle, the jade snail was a piece of cake for him.

"It's a pity that the Plague Immortal Technique isn't high enough." Smelling the unique aroma that made his mouth water, Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

The snail meat smells sweet, but it still contains demonic poison. Even if it is used to make Rejuvenating Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine, it will be inedible due to the contamination from the demonic poison.

He looked at the gray wall in front of him.

Plague Immortal Technique: 133/10000/Tier 3;

In the past seven or eight days, he has devoted all his spare time to studying the Plague Immortal Technique, and his progress has been quite gratifying.

However, the demonic poison was stubborn. The third-tier Plague Immortal Technique only made his perception of the demonic poison clearer, but he still couldn't draw it out.

"I still need to keep practicing." Chen Mu's mind was quite calm.

"The arrival of this jade snail is quite timely."

"The Plague Immortal Technique won't work for now, but it's good to earn more Dao merit so we can exchange it for more medicinal herbs to refine the Qi Cultivation Pill."

"The progress of Dao Foundation cultivation can be basically guaranteed within the next two or three months."
