My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 699 Vision
Nighttime at the Snail Shell Camp.

Chen Mu's mind was completely absorbed in the Five Ghosts Bag.

At this moment, the Giant Spirit God stood by the bottomless pool. Eleven six-legged beasts, each the size of a rhinoceros, lay not far away. The Crimson Feather Magic Sword danced around the beasts, swiftly dissecting and dissecting them.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, requiring no effort from Chen Mu to control it; it was entirely automated by the Zhu Yu Magic Sword and the Giant Spirit God.

"The seventh-order mechanical manipulation technique is truly ingenious and has endless uses!" Chen Mu observed with great interest.

With the advancement of the Qi-Tracing Technique, the number of Qi-Tracing Talismans increased from nine to twelve. Furthermore, each talisman now possesses a touch of spirituality, greatly enhancing its self-learning ability.

Chen Mu only needs to actively demonstrate how to exorcise a demon once, and the talisman seed can copy and learn the entire process, and then automatically handle similar demon beasts.

Similar abilities have been displayed in the past with the Qi-Pulling Talisman, but none have been as astonishing as they are now.

"This just adds twelve extra laborers out of nowhere!"

Chen Mu was overjoyed.

He was originally worried about what to do with the monster corpses in the bottomless pool, but now he doesn't need to anymore.

As long as he provides enough magic power, the Pulling Talisman Seed can control the Giant Spirit God and the Crimson Feather Magic Sword to handle things automatically, without him having to intervene too much in the whole process.

Moreover, during this process, he can also engage in other esoteric practices.

"interesting!"

"This is so interesting!"

"Ha ha!"

……

The demonic beasts were defeated by Lü Yue's plague, and the Fire Path Star was now calm and peaceful.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Craft Camp need not worry about the invasion of demonic beasts; each can focus on their respective duties and tasks.

Some dealt with demonic beasts, some set up laws and prohibitions, and some built cities.

Six months passed in the blink of an eye, and Tiangongying disappeared, replaced by a small town.

The city was built around the pool within the original camp. It included streets and markets such as Tiangongfang and Tianshidajie, and although smaller in scale, its layout was basically the same as that of Tianguan City.

In the same courtyard called Xin Si Yuan, Chen Mu hummed a little tune as he leisurely dealt with a four-legged, scaled demon beast that resembled neither fish nor fish.

Before long, he successfully skinned and dismembered the strange monster.

"I knew you could handle this Yimei fish!" Wu Gang, who was standing by waiting, said with admiration.

This strange fish was discovered in the underground water veins of Fire Star. It can hide its aura and become invisible, and it can also escape through water. It is extremely valuable.

Unfortunately, its skeleton and scales are abnormal, making it impossible for ordinary exorcists to deal with.

He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect Chen Mu to actually be able to handle it.

This is great! The Ministry of Works will definitely give me a big credit for this!

"Same as always, all Daoist cultivation points will be exchanged for white jade." Chen Mu waved his hand dismissively.

He had previously taken in too many demonic beasts into the Bottomless Pool. In the past six months, with the help of the Pulling Talisman, the Giant Spirit God had dealt with countless demonic beasts and had become exceptionally experienced.

Dealing with a strange fish was easy for him.

"No problem! Rest assured, I will definitely give you the maximum amount to exchange for the white jade!" Wu Gang immediately assured him.

After dismissing the other party, Chen Mu turned to look at the gray wall in front of him.

Cooking skill: 6638/10000/Tier 7;

"Dissecting monsters actually increases cooking experience? This..."

"That makes sense." Chen Mu's expression was strange.

He originally thought he would gain more experience in exorcising demons.

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Chen Mu began practicing the Jade Cicada Secret Manual as usual.

Transform the innate energy, visualize the Dao base diagram, golden light shimmers on the jade seed, golden branches grow, and the white jade seed gradually transitions to gold.

Warm currents flowed into his limbs and bones, and the giant spirit began to nourish himself.

Immediately, a series of insights suddenly surfaced in my mind.

Has the Jade Cicada Manual entered a new level?
Chen Mu was overjoyed, but then realized that the fragments of insight in his mind were not right.

"Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenation Technique?"

He immediately looked at the gray wall.

Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique: 5/10000/Tier 5;

"Tsk!"

"My Dao Foundation hasn't improved, but my Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique has entered a new level first." Chen Mu shook his head with some regret.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique is of a low level, and it has been used continuously over the past six months, so it's only natural that the experience gained has increased.

"The casting speed has increased, almost instantaneous, and the speed of absorbing vital energy has doubled, which is not bad."

After pondering the insights in his mind for a while, Chen Mu looked at another entry on the gray wall.

Heavenly Demon Armor: 326/10000/Eighth Rank; With a thought, a layer of invisible armor close to the body covers the entire body.

The armor's aura was strange and unpredictable, remarkably similar to the protective aura of a demonic beast.

Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere.

A Zhu Yu magic sword that was flying towards his palm was instantly deflected by the Heavenly Demon Armor.

Immediately, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting him directly on the head.

boom!
Countless fragments of black light exploded overhead, resembling shattered glass.

Yet beneath the fragments, the invisible armor remained resilient.

The Kui Water Yin Thunder that had struck overhead had already vanished.

"The Heavenly Demon Armor can absorb and mimic the protective energy of the Heavenly Demon for its own use."

"It appears thin, but it is actually made up of layers of celestial demon energy. If one layer is broken, the next layer will appear."

"And I've dealt with far more than several hundred kinds of demonic beasts in the past six months. If that's the case, then I must have hundreds of layers of protective energy around me, right?"

Chen Mu's face immediately lit up with joy.

"My six months of tireless work day and night to exorcise demons has not been in vain!" he exclaimed with emotion.

Giant spirit god?
The Giant Spirit God is my secret avatar; his hardship is my hardship.

No problem!
Chen Mu looked completely confident.

……

The next morning.

The small two-story building in the backyard of the Xin Si Courtyard.

Chen Mu was woken up by his regular biological clock as usual.

I was just about to dramatically shout, "Who will wake up first from this long dream?" when I realized it was pitch black outside the window. The daylight, which should have been bright, remained dim.

Did you get up early?
His innate ability to listen to supernatural sounds kicked in, and he immediately frowned slightly.

"It's not that I got up too early, it's that it gets light too late!"

"Could it be that the reclusive Lord Lü is up to his old tricks again?"

Chen Mu's heart tightened.

……

Half an hour later, the sky gradually brightened as usual.

But everyone knew that dawn was breaking half an hour later than usual.

This is definitely not normal!

"Could it be that Lord Lü has released another plague?"

"Very likely!"

"..."

The crowd gathered in the courtyard, discussing the matter animatedly.

A tall, strong middle-aged man suddenly spoke up: "I bought a few extra antidote pills. If you want them, come find me and we can discuss it in detail."

"The Seven-Star Jade Purification Bottle can absorb and isolate plague toxins. Buy it now while supplies last..." Another round-faced fat man shouted out.

"Those who don't have one should definitely buy one as a lifesaver; those who have already bought one can also get an extra one..."

Chen Mu looked at the two clever men shouting incessantly in the yard, speechless.

If he hadn't been using his Listening Technique the whole time, he would have almost been fooled by these two.

The first person to say that the dim light was related to the plague was that round-faced fat man!
The tall, strong middle-aged man also echoed the sentiments several times.

If there are no business opportunities, should we proactively create them?
Tsk!
What a profiteer!
Chen Mu shook his head, withdrew his Listening Divine Power, and extended it towards the inner city.

He needs to figure out what caused the strange celestial phenomenon.

……

The pavilion on the central pond in the inner city has been demolished, but a new Star Lord Temple has been erected beside the pond.

"Senior brother, don't worry." Inside the hall, Fei Zhao waved his hand dismissively and said, "Jiaomu Star Lord has taken over the thirty-two stars that were occupied by demons. With the power dispersed, it's not surprising that problems have arisen."

"As early as a year ago, more than 30 other stars, including Tianzhu and Tianguan, had already experienced dimming of their starlight."

"The Star Lord's calculation ability is indeed unparalleled, but at times he can be quite rigid."

"In the end, although the Star Lord has the cultivation of a Primordial God Lord, it is essentially similar to the spirit of a magical treasure. It has wisdom, but it is lacking something." He chuckled and spoke softly.

Looking out the attic window at the mirror-like pool of water, Zhou Tong nodded and said, "The Qi Well is stable, so there's probably no major problem."

"In that case, report to Tianguan City as soon as possible and ask Elder Lan to assist Jiaomu Xingjun in making timely corrections."

Fei Zhaoli nodded in agreement.
